Yesterday, Bella urged Brian to bring Edith home and introduce her to Mom and Dad. Now, she felt desperate because Dad asked her to bring him a future husband. Bella was a little out of concentration working as this disturbed her mind.
Geck... Geck...
Bella's room was knocked by her secretary. Delivering some companies that can be invited to cooperate in his company.
"Mom, these are some of the individual-owned companies that are applying for cooperation with Salim Group. I can check in advance for the proposal" her secretary said and left the file on her desk.
Bella is a little unfocused on her work.
"Can you please buy me a coffee in the lobby?" pinta Bella to her secretary. Bella took the money out of her wallet.
"You also buy it if you want" said Bella gave a hundred thousand note to her secretary.
"Good, Mom."
Bella was reminded of her ex-boyfriend when she was in college. To be honest, Bella can't forget him because her ex chose another woman and married her. From then on, Bella had no intention of opening her heart again. He was afraid that his heart would be hurt again one day.

Gisel went to Liana's boutique. It is seen from the outside of the glass, that Liana is serving one of her customers. The boutique door opened and Liana heard a small bell ringing above the door. At a glance, Liana saw Gisel coming over and sitting on the sofa.
After Liana served the customers up to the payment at the cash register, Liana said a polite farewell to her customers.
"What are you here for?" liana asked, sitting next to Gisel.
"That night you said you had a new client" Gisel said. Liana, who was originally staring at Gisel, immediately turned her eyes away.
"Yes. Indeed why?"
"But why don't I see you in the VIP room?" ask Gisel.
"Why do you ask that? That's a client's request he wants to go to the VIP room or not. I'm just following it." replied Liana trying to cover up the reality.
"really?"
"After all you and Regas also remain at the bar, never to the VIP room. Then why are you taking me to the VIP room or not?" Liana starts to dislike the way Gisel looks at her.
"All right."
"Why are you interrogating me like this? Did I make a mistake?" liana asked annoyed.
"No." Gisel rested his head on the sofa and turned his head up. Looking at the decorative lights hanging on the ceiling of Liana's boutique.
"Someone said the director of Salim Group came to the club. I thought you were accompanying him. Maybe I can calm down a bit" Gisel said.
Liana felt guilty because she was actually the one who accompanied Brian.
"Why did he come to the club? I know exactly he's not a guy who likes to come to clubs."
Liana swallowed her saliva. Recalling his promise to Brian not to reveal his secret to Gisel.
"Maybe he's hooked up with his job. So he wants to relax a little." said Liana.
Gisel closed his eyes, restraining his grievous heart because of Brian. He can't say that he loves Brian. And foolishly, Gisel said that he could not quit his job. Unknowingly, Gisel's tears fell on his cheeks.
"Gissles! You why?" Liana was surprised because Gisel suddenly cried. Gisel covered his eyes using his left arm.
"Why do I look so stupid when it comes to Brian?" gisel asked himself.
Liana felt her heart tremble. At first he did not understand how Gisel could get to know Brian. And how could Brian come to the club just to see Gisel from afar. Now, Liana understood, that the two of them had known much longer than Liana.
"Do you like Brian?" liana asked quietly and carefully so as not to hurt Gisel's feelings.
"Who doesn't like him? He's handsome, rich, has company." replied Gisel.
"You know that's not what I meant." Liana was slightly irritated by Gisel's reply. Then Gisel confirmed his sitting position and wiped away his tears.
"He was my friend when I was in high school" replied Gisel. Liana gaped in shock at what Gisel said.
"Seriously?"
"We were fifteen years apart. And now we meet again."
"Oh my. Maddened. Maddened. Have you known Brian for a long time?" Liana could not believe it.
Gisel nodded.
"I told you that we have to make sure each of us feels because we have been separated for too long" Gisel continued.
"Speechless. I'm speechless. If you say from the beginning there will be no such story. I'll call him and tell him...." Liana felt her spirit burning.
"For what? Don't be like."
"Gise... You changed this end. You also keep permission. You are not serving clients. You serve Regas more often. Who only talked at the bar. Where was the old Gisel? I was wondering and it's all because of Brian?"
"Enough, Liana. You just need to hear my story. There is no need to discuss my performance at the club." Gisel said cutting out Liana's endless speech. Gisel got up and walked out of the club.
Liana felt a little guilty about Gisel. But he believes Gisel just needs time to rearrange his feelings. Liana chased after Liana who left just like that. Although sometimes they seem to fight, but only Liana who understands how Gisel.
"Gissles! Gisel!"
Liana slightly ran after Gisel and grabbed his hand. After grabbing Gisel's hand, Liana hugged Gisel.
"Sorrys. I don't even know what the story is but I've been judging all sorts. I'm sorry, Gis." said Liana hugging Gisel.
Gisel's heart felt weak. He could not hold his feelings anymore. He dropped his tears and cried in Liana's arms.
"I don't know how to tell Brian how I feel, Li. And I work like this. I hope you understand what I'm feeling" said Gisel. Liana increasingly hugged Gisel tightly and stroked her long hair.
"Yes, Gis. I-i know. I'm sorry. I didn't think about it, Gis."
It was not realized that Liana dropped her tears and wiped them again.

Regas came back to the club and Gisel was waiting for him at the bar. Gisel gave Regas a glass of beer.
"Why are you late?" ask Gisel.
"There's a little work I need to finish. And I had enough trouble solving it." replied Regas.
"Is it not too late if you've only come at half-eleven?" gisel asked worried that Regas would be sought by his son.
"I told you I'd be late." replied Regas.
"What's wrong, if I'm just for a little while tonight?" tanya Regas was greeted with a sweet Gisel smile.
"Why not? I will wait for you." replied Gisel sipped a little drink.
"What work problems are you having overtime?"
"I've just submitted a proposal to the Salim Group. I asked for cooperation so that Salim Group can put my company into the list of one of the independent businesses that develop and I can get benefits there" replied Regas.
Gisel was a little speechless when Regas mentioned the company where Brian was there. He played his beer glass and slightly shifted his gaze in the other direction.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. If I belong to one of the independent businesses embraced by Salim Group, my efforts will continue to be invited to every event held by Salim Group."
Gisel controlled his emotions to look good. He stroked Gisel's back and praised Regas' good performance.
"I hope you can get away with the proposal" Gisel said. Regas touched Gisel's cheek and smiled.
"Thank you yes. I'm very grateful. Thanks to you I can restore my heart that my wife left behind. And I can work too."
A few meters from where Gisel and Regas were sitting, there was already Brian sitting and was blocked slightly by Liana so as not to be too visible to Gisel. Brian turned around the small glass of beer in his hand. With fiery eyes, he continued to gaze at Gisel and Regas.
"How long are you going to be in this situation" said Liana tidying her hair.
"You mean?"
"I mean, if you like Gisel, why are you just sitting here watching Gisel being touched by another man? You can try to be his VIP guest. And book him every day, so Regas doesn't touch Gisel anymore" Liana said straight to the point. He felt anxious to see Brian who was just sitting quietly like this.
"But I..."
"Listen to me. Every day, Gisel was just waiting for Regas. He had already started to reduce receiving guests who entered the VIP room. Can you think there is something strange? Before he served Regas, Gisel was able to get in and out of the VIP room up to four times" Liana explained.
Brian was a little surprised by what he had just heard from Liana.
"Are you serious?"
"What am I lying to? You paid me. So I guess I need to tell you this information" Liana half-whispered.
"Eitherway. I'm not sure if I can or not."
Liana was again upset by what she was facing now. Because for him, Brian and Gisel are not much different.
"alright. I won't interfere. Usually Regas finishes at eleven p.m. I just hope you don't regret it." said Liana crossed her legs again and tidied up her hair.
Sometimes Brian felt uncomfortable with Regas who touched the hair, cheeks and even the shoulders of Gisel. Maybe Liana's right. If he does not want to lose Gisel, he must take action. Otherwise, Gisel would have continued to be a night woman serving other men.
Gisel took the opportunity to steal glances from various directions while chatting with Regas. He was looking for Brian who he thought would come to the club.
"Who are you looking for?" ask Regas.
"No. I'm not looking for anyone. Just want to see where Liana is." replied Gisel with a smile so that Regas did not suspect her.
"alright. It's eleven o'clock at night. I go home first. I don't feel good for too long with Reagents." Regas got up from his seat and so did Gisel. Regas tidied Gisel's hair again before Regas left and Gisel again commented a smile on him.
Brian could only look at it with a burning gaze.
