BIG BIG BIG Girl

After waiting, Freya finally returned to her room. He saw Bryona and his whole team were still there.
“They will announce the result soon and you know, we're the ones who will get it. Earlier the directors said that they liked our concept and were confident that the ad would be very sell.”
Freya's words made all the team members including Bryona smile. They are happy because their efforts are not in vain.
“How about we have lunch together?” ask Freya. They all nodded their heads.
Just as they were about to leave, Freya's phone rang. He immediately raised it because the name of Dad Hector was listed there, “Halo Dad. No, I'll eat with my friends. See you later.”
The company officials will have lunch together and invite Freya. But he did not want, other than because he had promised with his team, he also did not want to make people think he only used the name Dad Hector as a way to ride, not his ability.

“How can? You must be doing this because she is the daughter of the CEO of AR Group,” Leticia said ketus when the board announced that the banner and video to be used is owned by Freya.
“Nona Leticia, relax,” the marketing manager is trying to calm Leticia down. He had seen the results done by Freya and in his heart, the manager admitted that the results of Freya's work were extraordinary. So when the directors announce the winner between the two of them, then he will accept it.
“I can't calm down. This means that you indirectly said that my work was bad and not worth it to be aired. I don't accept it! Totally dropped my pride,” Leticia again said harshly.
“Honored Lady Leticia, we made the decision not because Miss Freya was the daughter of Mr. Hector, but because of her work. I think everyone who watched the images and videos would know who would be more deserving to choose,” Oscar said firmly.
“You're all just wasting my time, bitch! You remember that I will no longer cooperate with you, even if you beg me. Cihh!!” Leticia directly shifted her seat roughly and walked out of the room, without saying goodbye to anyone. Leticia also slammed the door as she walked out of the room.
“You're all here, see how he behaves and remember what he said. There should not be a single person here working with him anymore. Understood?!” Oscar firmly said so, making everyone present in the room shudder in horror. Nic, who had seen Dad Oscar angry or upset, could see how the sharp gaze of the middle-aged man was now.
The marketing manager who recommended Leticia could only shut up and bow. He also deeply regrets Leticia's attitude which seems to have no ethics at all.
“Now you continue the process to the product launch. All must be well prepared and do not let any mistakes,” said Oscar and embraced by Hector and Chris. After that they went straight out of the room.
After the departure of Oscar, Hector, and Chris, Freya re-assembled her team. He also invited the marketing manager and his entire team to gather together. It organizes all the schedules, starting from product launching, advertising schedules, press conferences, etc.
Nic and Theo are still in the room to pay attention to Freya's work. Nah! Nic is there only to see Bryona, who now looks even more beautiful.
“Until when will we continue to be here?” ask Theo.
“You see, it works amazingly. I think, you can release AR Group so that it can be led by a Freya Rodriguez,”, Nic replied.
“It looks like you keep praising and proud of him. Shouldn't you just be the one who was betrothed to her?” theo was upset.
“Do you get angry if I am the one who was betrothed to him?”
“Of course not! Why am I angry? I will be very happy and free. Although I don't want to be betrothed to him, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to hand over the AR Group to him. She's just a smartass, prettyass, I don't like women like that.”
“Not going, never going!” said Theo.
“You go home first Te, I want to take someone to dinner,” said Nic as he continued to look towards Bryona who was seriously listening to Freya.
Theo looked at Nic's point of view. He thinks Nic is watching Freya, because Bryona is sitting right next to Freya.
Does Nic really like Freya? Ahhh it is, for what I care. - Inner Theo.

In the car, Bryona was very nervous. He is currently alone with Nic. He seemed to have held his breath for a while, making him even more nervous.
Nic specifically asks Freya for permission to take Bryona to dinner, saying she wants to thank him. Bryona thought it was absurd, while Freya easily allowed it.
“Do you want to eat something?” ask Nic.
“No, it's up to you Sir,” replied Bryona.
“Call me Nic only. It feels strange if you call me mister.”
“Sorry, I don't dare,” Bryona is still trying to neutralize her feelings at the moment. A date with Nic reminds him of a night where he almost lost his honor. He knew that Nic was unconscious at the time because he was drunk because he drank too much.
If he remembers the night where he felt it was a dream, he realizes that in the dream he also undressed himself and wanted to give himself up.
Suddenly Bryona held onto her cheek which was currently starting to feel hot. He is sure if the current atmosphere is bright, then Nic will be able to see his face red as a boiled crab. He immediately shook his head again when he remembered Nic's innocent body at that time.
“What are you thinking?” ask Nic.
“Ahhh no. I was just a little dizzy,” replied Bryona reasoned.
“Hmm, what is your real name? I think Scarlett's just your stage name, right?” Nic says.
“Yes, Scarlett is the given name of Freya. My name is Bryona.”
“Bryona,” Nic seemed to furrow his brows, making Bryona now wonder if Nic realized something. Is he starting to suspect that he is Bryan?
“Then I will call you Yona,” Nic turns to Bryona with a smile, making Bryona's heartbeat as if playing rock music. No one has ever called her Yona since the death of her parents.
Dad, Mom, someone finally called me Yona, as you used to call me. - Bryona smiled again when remembering her memories together with her parents.
