Goes to kimberly's House

Nicholas crumpled up a piece of paper with Kimberly's mobile number and home address on it. His mind wandered, occasionally he also seemed to weigh. Did he need to call Kimberly or go straight to the woman to her house?

No, no. Wouldn't it be too much if I met her?

We could meet tomorrow at the office, right?

But … I have to make sure he's completely recovered.

Nicholas ruffled his hair. He was feeling dizzy with his thoughts.

Ahh, what's this?

Why do I care so much about it?

Oh, come on, Nicholas, don't overdo it like this.

But, look now. After such a prolonged inner turmoil, the man finally decided to leave. So, here he is now. He was standing right in front of the minimalist building where Kimberly lives. Nicholas reached for the cell phone in his coat pocket. Slightly hesitant, he dialed the cell phone number he had just saved.

It took more courage until he finally dialed the number. Just two dial tones, the call on the other side is picked up. "Hello….” It was the first word he heard. Nervous and confused. Two things he felt now. What's so hard about just answering the word 'hi' or 'hello'? Did his courage overflow?

No, Nicholas didn't have enough guts this time. I do not know where the overflow of courage he had all this time. Is he too afraid of a woman-named figure?

Only Nicholas knows for sure the answer. There was silence for so long Nicholas let the figure on the other side waiting in bewilderment. Until finally, the courage gathered, he answered. "Can you come out? I'm in front of your house now."

"Huh?" There was a tone of surprise behind the phone. But Nicholas didn't care. Choosing quickly disconnected the phone and put his cell phone back into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing. No need to wait long, the figure of the woman he wanted to meet was now standing perfectly in front of him.

"Do you live here?" Nicholas asked, attempting to shake off the awkwardness coming his way.

Kimberly nodded. “Yeah, I've lived here a long time." "I thought you lived with your parents."

This time, Kimberly shook her head. "I am an orphan, Sir," Kimberly answered quietly.

"Sorry if I was presumptuous." Nicholas had a feeling of guilt. He shouldn't be talking as much as he is now.

Kimberly smiled faintly, then soon, the woman spoke again. "Sir, do you know where my house is from?" Kimberly asked, confused.

"I don't think it's important. I just came here to ask the reason did you leave the hospital without waiting for me first?"

Oh my gosh, Nick! What kind of question is this.

You asked as if you were her lover.

While Kimberly pulled her face in, looking a little confused by what her boss asked.

"Sorry if I left without telling you first. I wanted to avoid bothering you again, sir," Kimberly said honestly.

"At least you let me know so I wouldn't worry about you."

"Huh, what?" Kimberly was surprised to hear Nicholas' words. She wasn't sure what she had just heard. Seriously, the ice cube Boss was suddenly worried about her. Should she be cheering for joy now?

Meanwhile, Nicholas looked embarrassed because he had repeated the wrong word. I don't know what got into that guy today. His heart and mouth cannot be invited to work together as they should.

"Forget what I said." Nicholas waved his hand in the air. "The important thing is that your situation is improving now. Then I'll say goodbye first."

Is it as fast as that? All the way here, he just behaved and said pleasantries. Kimberly couldn't understand the way of thinking of the man who was her boss.

"Sir..."

Kimberly's call stopped Nicholas, who was already preparing to leave. "Thank you for all the help yesterday. Sorry if I bother you," said Nathania sincerely.

"Not a problem. Shouldn't a boss help his subordinates who need help?"

Kimberly nodded in agreement with Nicholas's words. "Okay, then please continue your rest. I'm going home."

Keyra and Alex were already sitting pretty while watching Kimberly, who was tidying up the files on her desk. This morning the two of them deliberately visited Kimberly, who had just gotten off work. "Well, so your health is getting better?" asked Alex to start the conversation.

"I'm fine; yesterday was just tired. That's why I'm not allowed to come to work." Kimberly answered without looking at her best friend. Keyra leaned closer to Kimberly.

"Did Mr. Cool call you yesterday?"

Kimberly nodded. "Yes, he called not long after you called me," Kimberly answered honestly. Alex and Keyra gasped when they heard Kimberly's words.

The two of them showed an inquisitive expression.

"Then what is that man talking about?"

"Just asking why I didn't come to work."

"Only that?" Alex narrowed his eyes in disbelief. Kimberly nodded.

"That's all. What do you want?"

"Yes, who knows Mr. Cool will follow or visit you. I'm just wondering why he asked for your address if he didn't want to see you."

Kimberly chuckled. What Kira said was true. But the woman deliberately didn't want her two friends to know that Nicholas had visited her last night. Choosing another topic of conversation, the three of them were engrossed in various conversation issues. They laughed at each other until they didn't notice the presence of a man watching their activities.

"Ahem." A grunt interrupted the three of them.

"Mr. Nicholas." Keyra and Alex immediately stood up when they realized Nicholas was in front of Kimberly's desk.

"It's time for work. Go back to your rooms!"

Keyra and Alex looked down and hurried to leave Kimberly's study. While Nicholas entered his room, Kimberly prepared some files to hand over to her superiors. Knocking once on the door, the woman strode into the room and placed some files on the table.

"Those are some files that you have to sign today. For the meeting agenda, this afternoon there will be a meeting with the advertising party."

Nicholas nodded then opened the file in front of him. "I'll sign everything later. You can continue your work now."

"Sure, sir," replied Kimberly.

"Kimmy."

"Yes, sir. Is there anything else I should do?"

Nicholas was silent for a moment, then took out a silver invitation in his desk drawer. "This weekend, accompany me to big madam Grey's birthday party."

Kimberly was stunned by Nicholas's invitation.

"Are you sure you want me to accompany you to the party?" there was a look of doubt on Kimberly's face.

Nicholas raised one eyebrow. "Isn't it your job to accompany me to every banquet or party?"

"True, but it's banquets and parties from business associates or colleagues. Meanwhile, it's a family event."

"What's the difference? In case you forgot, it's the owner's mother's birthday party. So I guess it's not wrong for me to invite you, right?"

Kimberly nodded resignedly and grabbed the invitation Nicholas was holding. "Okay, I'll accompany you to the event this weekend."

After Kimberly left the room, unconsciously, Nicholas smiled. I don't know what it means this time. Maybe Nicholas Feeling happy.

9.Overthinking

Kimberly buried herself on the bed. Fatigue is now engulfing him. Choose to lie down for a while rather than take a shower even though his body feels sticky right now.

Remember the invitation that Nicholas gave this afternoon. Kimberly immediately opened her briefcase, then grabbed the birthday party invitation, which was dominated by silver color.

I should be happy.

That asked me to accompany him to big madam Grey's party.

But, Why do I feel awkward like this?

Kimberly kept flipping through the invitation in her hand until an incoming message ringing caught his eye.

Keyra : [You called me earlier? What is it?] Kimberly : [Just wanted to ask your opinion, what's the best thing to wear to a birthday party?]

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes. Kimberly waited for Keyra to reply to her message. Seeing no reply, the woman decided to take a quick shower.

After bathing, Kimberly glanced back at her cell phone, which was lying on the bed. There is a notification of two incoming messages there. Kimberly's eyebrows shot up when she saw Nicholas' name emblazoned on one of the messages. Why did the ice cube master send a message? She quickly opened the two messages.

Mr.Nicholas : [Tomorrow, please come down faster. There was an impromptu meeting with the audit and advertising team from Singapore.]

Keyra : [Sorry, I took a shower first. It depends how the party. If it's official, wear a dress as usual. But don't wear a dress you've worn many times, Kimmy.

Embarrassing!]

Kimberly was stunned by the reply Keyra gave. Thought for a moment. If she had to wear a dress to big madam Grey's birthday party, that meant she had to buy a new dress. While it's the end of the month, she doesn't have the extra money to buy it yet.

Ah, bother.

Why attend a party like this?

I have to spend more money.

But what can I do?

Do I borrow money from Keyra first to buy a dress?

Kimberly sighed in exasperation, wondering if she had to borrow money from Keyra to buy a new dress? Is there any other choice? It's also doubtful that he should be in debt at the office for trivial matters like this. Mrs. Gladis would not approve her loan application.

Alright, I'll borrow money from Keyra. After all, next week will also be paid.

Kimberly looked at the phone in her hand, then started writing the words.

Kimberly : [Key, can I ask you a favor? Next Saturday, I have to accompany Mr.Nicholas to a birthday party. Would you mind lending money? I have to buy a new dress as you suggested. I promise after payday I will immediately replace it.]

After typing at length, Kimberly pressed the send button on the phone screen. I hope Keyra agrees to his request.

Kimberly's phone soon rang again. The woman gasped because it wasn't Keyra's reply that she got but an incoming call from Nicholas. With the great question,

Kimberly picked up the call. "Yes, hello?"

"Kimmy, you didn't send the wrong message, did you?"

Kimberly furrowed her brows. "You mean?"

"Yeah, the message you sent just now was meant for me?"

Realizing, Kimberly patted her forehead hard and then immediately checked the outgoing message she had just sent. It was true; Kimberly sent the wrong message. What should have been sent to Keyra? He sent Nicholas' number. Unfortunately, they were both texting at the same time. Uh, Kimberly's fault, too for not focusing.

"Sorry, sir, I sent the wrong message. Sorry again."

"In that case, okay."

After Nicholas ended the call, Kimberly covered her face with a pillow. Screaming as loud as possible because the feeling of shame is hitting him right now.
