Between The Leongs
Betrayals

Flashlights in a row coincide with a pose that becomes the object of shooting in a studio. The entire staff was not helped not to watch the process even if it was not the first time for them to work together, still they are sedated by the workings of the number one model that runs very smoothly without requiring the slightest pause. His body continued to move, without the need to get a photographer's direction in it.

"That's all. Wrap it up guys!" Right in the tenth minute of the final session, the photographer decided the photo he took was enough to meet all the needs of the magazine.

The staff applauded, even cheering admiring the models who indirectly shortened their average normal working time.

"It's always been an amazing time to work with you. Thanks for the experience, Sabrina. We're more than excited for another project with you in the future." The words of the photographer represent the feelings of the staff.

Sabrina smiled warmly, "Along with all of you guys as well. Thank you for having me and for your hard work."

Approaching a staff monitor in charge of sorting out his photos, Sabrina asked to be shown, focused on assessing himself and ensuring the stability of his skills in posing. Some staff who were nearby did not hesitate to praise, saying the whole look perfect until they had trouble determining the choice to be released. Satisfying the limited number of photos, even though all Sabrina photoshoots deserve to be included in the magazine and all their company's internet platforms.

The wardrobe team deftly helped Sabrina change clothes when she walked into the dressing room. Her body instantly felt as light as cotton, thanks to the weight of the extravaganza's gown property throughout the shoot. Mauricio prepares his favorite vietnamese coffee for his third time today, as long as his hair and makeup are rearranged in a casual natural style. Classic caesar salad ala Amber became the mainstay menu lunch Sabrina.

Mauricio clucked sick of imagining the contents. Just a month he worked as an assistant to Sabrina, but he had memorized out of his head how much specific content each component of the salad was thanks to the consistency of Amber. Which certainly may not be enough to prop up the stomach, let alone meet the nutrition and nutrition of Sabrina.

"Fresh fish and chips, your favorite." Mauricio opened his new online order package.

Sabrina Sumringah, "Woah, Cio. You still know me well it turns out. Should I be moved?"

"Yes! You kidding? You better do it." Mauricio glared at Sabrina, holding himself back from saying more privacy amid people who could have been making new rumors, or perhaps the worst of which was being made into a gossip account higlight.

"Hahaha, okay. Thank you, my assistant!" Sabrina pressed the last word she said on purpose, she was happy to upset Mauricio.

Mauricio did not respond. Noticing Sabrina devouring her favorite food, she knew she should not be grateful for Eva's suffering, which Amber had been focusing on, so that at least Mauricio can freely help Sabrina feel the freedom he deserves even though it is temporary.

Navis comes to pick up Sabrina, waiting for her in the company lobby wearing a silly t-shirt that hurts the scene for Mauricio the anti-romantic. He was confused as to why Navis would wear it, and why Sabrina too idealized awarding Navis an obscure item. Giving time to the infuriating spouse that Mauricio believes is not necessary, because they always spend time together in addition to working hours. Mauricio made sure the main exit was safe from the paparazzi crowd.

There are some who look to wait. It is quite easy to avoid if there are no more extras that are hiding.

"The exit in the basement parking lot is full." Report one of the bodyguards that Mauricio deliberately assigned there to trick Sabrina's line home, by telephone.

Relieved for his tactics, Mauricio takes Sabrina and Navis out of the building at once. The two men agreed to form a formation to protect Sabrina, positioning her in the middle. Navis was in front, and Mauricio was in the back.

The remaining paparazzi worked hard to get a portrait containing Sabrina's face to sell expensive. Unmitigated, they threw some provocative questions about the baby, hoping Sabrina at least lifted her head covered with a hood of oversized hoodie. Their efforts failed miserably, Sabrina had no intention of letting them get it at all until the end.

"Don't forget to attend Asteria's birthday dinner later," Sabrina reminded Mauricio of the event he organized.

"Yes, I know. Wherever I might pass it, I made a promise to Asteria. Your dinner is granny free?"

Sabrina fiddled her eyes at Mauricio's question. "Magic grandmother is my mother, Cio if you forget. But, well. He's never been here every year, this year for sure. Just relax."

Sabrina watched closely, enjoying the familiarity of the Navis family, Sabrina's two brothers, and Mauricio on Asteria. One other Sabrina's wounds that were not their responsibility were unnoticed.

"Sister.." Away from the crowd, Eva and Willy greeted Sabrina, hugging her in turn.

Long enough since last meeting. Moreover, the two passed the holiday agenda together before, because of personal busyness. Willy is busy preparing for the launch of his own brand's first fashion store, Eva is busy fleeing to Europe. To be honest, Sabrina was very worried about Eva's situation. But, all that time Eva turned off her phone. After returning home, her delayed schedule is soaring and she is under the full supervision of their mother. There were many urgent questions in Sabrina's mind. The absence of Eva's lover by her side for no more reason leads Sabrina to understand the outline of the problems that Eva may be going through.

Reading Sabrina's worries, Eva anticipates. "I'm fine, Saby. I'll tell you later what happened, but, not tonight okay? It's Asteria's day."

Sabrina sighed, nodding in approval to Eva's persuasion. Listening, Willy waited for his turn to speak up. "My shop's part-time clerk, has twice accidentally caught Mom meeting a young man at her other workplace's tea cafe. Doesn't this feel a bit awkward? If it's about our work, usually I only take care of it through email, right?"

"You're sure your staff didn't think it was wrong?" Skeptical Eva, because their mother is not a person who likes to mingle with men except family. But the problem is, among their families, the only young man is Willy. All of Amber's nieces are female.

Willy initially also did not believe, but according to him his employees were not just bragging. He went through his cell phone gallery to look for photographic evidence provided by his employees. In a flash he shows Eva and Sabrina, asking for validation.

Analyzing for a while, both Eva and Sabrina confirmed that the person in the photo was right their mother, Amber. Although the picture is not very clear because it seems to be taken from afar, they recognize the figure of Amber. While the suspected figure turned his back on the camera, so they were unable to recognize.

"Funately, he did not have time to take other evidence that showed the man's face because he was almost caught."

"Don't you say you like young men? Just thinking about it feels horrible." Eva shook her head, trying to shake off the assumptions she made herself.

Willy shuddered, "Yes! Crazy brother?" His voice was stifled, reluctant to invite the attention of other guests. "It makes more sense that Mom had another child she kept secret."

Not yet had time to discuss more deeply, the waiters entered to deliver the appetizer. The three postponed the discussion, occupying their respective seats. They agreed to spend special time between work schedules and discuss Eva's problems.

Sabrina furrowed her brows, as soon as her eyes caught the dish that had just been presented to her was different from the set she remembered asking Navis to order. "Darling, did you order another set?"

Navis shook his head in confusion by his side. "I'm sorry, there seems to be a mistake. I ordered another set." He said to the remaining Pramusaji.

"Sorry sir, but we received a request for a change of menu by a mistress who claimed to be in charge of the reservation on behalf of Asteria. And the order has been paid."

Everyone who heard was confused. No female guests felt like doing that, including Sabrina. Amidst the oddity that occurred, the sound of regular knocking heels treading the floor of the room covered with red carpet approached. All views were distorted, followed by shock at the unexpected sight before them.

Inwardly, they all now simultaneously assign the suspect behind the small incident just now.

"Oma's coming?" Only the plain voice of Asteria was able to greet the presence of Amber.

Sabrina's heart spurred increasingly irregular in an instant. His face was flushed with anger. His heart was broken into pieces. Not because of Amber's presence, but Amber's decision included a figure who came with her. For a lifetime, Sabrina just this time felt hopeless and betrayed by the behavior of his mother.

Amber smiled with satisfaction over Sabrina's helplessness. "Give me the same kind of affectionate guest that Oma brought."
