Chapter 6
“What’s up, man? I brought something along on my way.”
As soon as the door opened, he talked to Aiden who was sitting on his chair. Looking at his friend then in me, it was as if it was something that he always see. Like it was normal that I am here. He didn’t even let himself spare anymore time to look at me. So he really don’t know that I was left on the lobby?
I just quietly sat on the sofa. He didn’t even let himself spare any saliva to talk to me. The two of them talk to each other as they let myself be focused on my phone. I was busy reading some articles that he wanted me to read. Who knows this would be asked to me one time and when I have no idea of what to tell, he would just give me a bunch of papers that I needed to finish.
“It is really a surprise to me to know that you are already married. Like man, you didn’t even tell it to me one time. And to think of it, it was so long ago that you two got married. Isn’t it some kind of cheating? I am your best friend. So why didn’t you tell me?”
” It is not as if you would behave if I brought you along. And after all, it happened so long ago. So why nag me now?”
“That is what I am telling. You married and didn’t even spare any time to tell me? Idiot”
With that, Aiden didn’t say any more words.
“But for you to get married, it was really impossible.”
“Just shut up. ”
“Yeah, yeah. But why did you even brought her along ?”
“Can you just shut your mouth up? You’re so noisy.”
With that being said, I was now being questioned by the man who was named Elton. He really is a nosy person.
“So Mrs Lazarus? How did you meet my friend? Is he the one who reached out to you first or-”
“Elton, just shut your fucking mouth. You’re so damn noisy.”
Well, maybe I do not need to answer his questions. After all, even Aiden himself doesn’t answer.
With just censoring all done with a small smile, he seems to be tired from not getting any answer from me. And with that, he left.
“I didn’t know that he would last long in bugging you.”
I heard Aiden mumbled to himself. Wait, is he talking to me?
Not clearly hearing his words, I just look at him waiting for his mouth to repeat those same words that he had said. But it was as if it is something that would be impossible to happen. He didn’t repeat his words, leaving me be full of questions of what he just said.
Minutes passes by until it became hours. Some of his assistant brought food for our lunch.
They didn’t even say any words and just leave the table full of foods that was neatly presented. Address if we are inside a restaurant, if I may say.
You know those kind of settings that you can see on the television?
“You eat first. I still need to finish this.”
That is what he said. So I was here sitting alone in this table for two. I didn’t even know what I should eat first or what I should be doing right at this moment. It is not as if I am hungry at any bit. I just read some few articles and then stare in daze.
Getting some slices of food that was presented in front of me, I can say that it seems to be tasty.
It also looks the same of the food that we got in the mansion. Well, I can say that even with that kind of tension, I can differentiate foods. I can’t tell whether they are related to each other or not, or if they have similarities or in a completely different version.
Maybe that is one of my hidden talent. I’m not really sure tho
I was sure halfway eating when I hear his chair moving. He was finally dining with me.
“What did you do in the lobby?”
He asked me as he gets some slice of food.
I talked to a girl downstairs and… I saw your friend. He brought me here along with him.
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
He didn’t say any other words and eat his meal. And before I even know it, we already finished eating. Right after we finish our meal, some people under the room to clean up those things. Maybe this kind of thing is natural for him. Who knows?
“Do you have anything that I should do? I mean, do you have any works that I can make?”
“No need”
Those simple words makes me be quiet. Well, it is not as if he would be needing my help anyway. He can do it on his own. And after all, isn’t it good for me to be here? I mean. If I am here, I don’t need to work on the papers we got on the mansion.
Smiling at my thoughts, I didn’t notice that I fell asleep.
As soon as they open my eyes, I was wondering where I was. And as soon as my memories flashback into me, I remember that I am in the office or the building company of Aiden.
Yawning, I can’t even tell why I feel so sleepy, even if I just got awake. Maybe I shall. Take a few more minutes for a nap.
And there, my eyes closed.

I shouted, sneezing as I felt the cold air touching my skin. Even if my grass is somehow thick, I can still say that I am feeling cold.
How are you feeling like this? Putting my hand in the corner of my bed, I tried to get my blanket, but to my surprise I can’t touch it. I can’t even find where it was.
Opening my eyes, I was surprised to see darkness embracing me. Being startled, I stand up right after sitting
And yes, it was a bad idea. I had my head be an ache as I did that kind of thing. But even if my head is aching, there is no use of it, for I was feeling scared to see only darkness in front of me.
A small gleam of light was seen coming from a place that far from where I was. It looks like a big window who was covered with a thick curtains.
There is a thousands of stores from the outside. The view from below is also something that I was amazed it was full of lights, as if. At the sky above was just reflecting the things from below.
Now that I remember it, I was in the office of Aiden.
Laughing at myself, I wanted to blame me from not waking up and the right time. It is not as if I am not aware of one of the characteristic of that guy. He didn’t even notice that he left me in the lobby, which is why I am certain that he wouldn’t even notice me once he get back to his mansion.
So what now? What should I do?
I really don’t know… almost bursting to tears, it didn’t let out as I head the door opening joined the lights turning on. In just a small while, I blocked my emotions to hide it.
There.. just as I thought. It was Aiden. It seems like he remembers he have a wife he left in his office.
Hah… just like what Elton said… he is really a jerk.
