Meet Me At Midnight's
Debate At The Club

With sleepy eyes, Gisel waited for snacks and chocolate drinks that he bought on scan by the minimarket cashier. Liana waited in the car as she was also tired. After paying with the right money, Gisel immediately went from the minimarket.

"Gis, I'm staying at your house" said Liana, looking tired.

"Why not go home?" gisel asked to see Liana's situation.

"That's a great tape, Gis. I'm so sleepy. If you bring a car afraid of falling asleep."

"Yaudah, but don't be weird" said Gisel, looking alert.

"What the hell, Gis. What do you want? I just want to sleep."

Actually, Gisel already knew that Liana was with Brian last night. Last night, while driving Regas home, Gisel had a look towards Liana sitting down. I don't know why until now Liana hasn't told me. Gisel deliberately did not ask. He waited for Liana to tell him herself.

Brian finished some work in his office. And suddenly come back not concentrating. Mr. Liam went back and forth in and out of Brian's room, to check whether Brian could do a good job or not. If not, he can - can be reprimanded by Bella. Mr. Liam was avoiding that very much. Therefore, every file signed by Brian, he always checks again.

As it is today. Mr. Liam checked the file Brian signed on to sponsor an art show at the university. This is the first time Brian has committed suicide.

"Master. Are you sure you want to be a sponsor for the art scene?" asked Mr. Liam not to believe it.

"Why is that, sir?" ask Brian plainly.

"Sorry, Sir. Usually we only sponsor big concert events. But for performing art at a university it's like..."

"We can find a new intern, sir. Why don't we just use that opportunity?" ask Brian.

"Why do you think that you can get interns from that university?" asked Mr. Liam to try to understand Brian's intentions.

"Yes. We can give them a chance that they can get into big companies and intern here without any difficulty. Because usually what I know is that this company gets interns and selects are quite difficult." Brian explained.

Mr. Liam was silent. He began to understand what Brian meant.

"I want to provide easy tickets for those who want to intern here without selection and they work directly under me." continued Brian.

"Is there anything special about that university, sir?"

"Yes, Mr. Liam. That was my university."

Mr. Liam smiled and felt Brian had a new innovation for his company. Then, Bella walked in and walked over to Brian's desk.

"Brian, there were five files. One of them is a request to become your campus sponsorship first. I hope you didn't sign the file. Because there's no history of us sponsoring a university" Bella told Brian.

But hearing what Bella said, Brian looks defiant. Seeing the situation go wrong between Bella and Brian, Mr. Liam immediately walked out of the room.

"There's no history, brother?" brian asked Bella back.

"Yes." answered Bella sure.

"We need to change that history."

"You mean?" Bella didn't understand what Brian was talking about.

"I mean, Brother. As long as I served as an ordinary employee here, who wanted to intern here and was still a student, it was always complicated. I don't want this to happen again while they also have to get grades for the campus." Brian explained in more detail.

"Do you want to change the rules I made?" bella did not believe it.

"No, Brother. I just fixed the wrong one. As a result of the selection, they have difficulty getting a place for internships and also grades for their campus. And become their sponsor, just as a ticket for them so that they can intern at our company without the need to be selected. They'll also work directly under me."

"That's none of our business, Brian. Let what the rules have made, we live. And there's no need to change anything." Bella still wants to argue with Brian.

"Motto what's our company, brother? Simplify your daily activities. But why is it so hard?" Brian did not want to lose to his brother.

"OKAY. Hold that file first. We'll negotiate with Dad first. If you agree, you can make a decision. Because there is no story in the company we sponsor the university." Bella replied in the end.

"good. I'm sure you can accept my new rules."

Bella walked out of Brian's room in annoyance. And looked at Mr. Liam sitting at his desk.

"Sir Liam, please hold the university file first. Until there's more info." said Bella who then returned to her room. Mr. Liam simply nodded in not wanting to add more trouble for his superior.

Mr. Liam understands Brian's intentions well. But Bella did not just accept because of the sudden change of rules and no negotiations in advance.

Regas returns to the bar and is accompanied by Gisel. The umpteenth time Brian also noticed Gisel only from afar. But this time, Regas not only held onto his shoulder or smiled at Gisel. He also sometimes whispered something to Gisel.

Liana saw Brian's face growing red withholding emotions because Regas was so intimate with Gisel.

"Oh yeah. I heard that Regas is submitting a proposal to your company. Have you read the proposal?" liana asked while drinking a little of her drink.

"Oh yeah? What does he have to do?" brian asked not to take his eyes off Gisel.

"Take the car."

"Oh, yeah, I know. There's one car tire company that got into my company. But I haven't finished proofreading all those proposals" Brian replied.

"Then, how? Do you want to acc a business proposal to have Regas?" ask Liana.

"Is there a reason I should acc the proposal?" ask Brian in curiosity.

"You knew? She's widower. Have one child. Died by his wife because of illness." Liana replied.

"It could be that I accepted the proposal" Brian replied.

"Wow. It's good to have a friend who's the director of the company. Just from the talk alone, can consider the proposal accepted or not." said Liana greeted with a cynical gaze by Brian.

"Who said just from the talk?"

Liana was speechless hearing Brian speak cynically like that.

"I'll accept the proposal, if he can hand over Gisel tonight to me" Brian and Liana widened their eyes.

"Are you serious? He said you only wanted to watch Gisel from afar. Don't tell me you want to go there" Liana said sounding worried.

It wasn't long before Brian came close to Gisel. To be honest Brian still put his heart on Gisel. But he always held himself back from revealing his heart.

He got up from his seat and began to approach Gisel and Regas who were laughing and whispering to each other. While Liana was afraid that there would soon be a commotion inside the club.

"Hello, Gisel." said Brian standing behind their seat. Gisel and Regas are shocked by Brian's arrival. Gisel controls his emotions so he doesn't see that he knows Brian.

"Yes, what's wrong?" tanya Regas was bothered by Brian's arrival.

"May I change with Gisel?" ask Brian plainly. He also knew now the face of Regas after being seen up close. But Regas still doesn't recognize who Brian is.

"You who?" tanya Regas started to look impatient.

"I? I'm Brian. Gisel's new client." Brian replied lightly further upsetting Regas.

"really? But Gisel said today his client was just me. I have been with him for a long time. So why did you come and take Gisel away from me?" tanya Regas further raised his tone.

Gisel was uncomfortable with the situation. He also wondered why Brian had arrived and asked him to accompany him suddenly.

"Sorry, sorry. Regas, sorry this makes you uncomfortable. But can I talk to this guy first?" gisel asked Regas. Gisel spoke as gently as possible so that Regas was not too angry because Brian arrived - suddenly came and wanted to ask himself to accompany Brian.

"Yes, Gisel. I'm waiting here huh." replied Regas slightly easing his emotions. Then he sat down and drank. While Gisel pulled Brian out of the club so he could freely speak without the sound of music that sounded noisy. Liana could only stare from afar with worried eyes.

Outside the club, Gisel let out a long sigh before speaking to Brian. He calmed his feelings a little because this kind of atmosphere actually made Gisel uncomfortable.

"What are you trying to do here, Brian?" gisel looked at Brian.

"I just want to come here and see you work" replied Brian who also looked straight at Gisel.

"Brian this is my place of work. You shouldn't have come here and made a fuss."

Honestly, just this time Gisel argued with Brian. Gisel felt claustrophobic when it came to arguing with Brian like this.

"The man came every day and every day touched you. I just want that guy to stop touching you like that." Brian said a little annoyed.

"He's my client. He paid me and I had to accompany him. She's also whatever she asks I'll do. Because I've been paid by him!" gisel.

"Even if you're asked to sleep with her? You're gonna do all that?" brian asked, not believing the words came out of the mouth of Gisel whom he had known all along.

"Yes, I would do that even if he asked me to sleep with him and I would do anything according to how much he paid me!" answer Gisel later.

"Is that what you do, Gisel? And should you do this job for money?" Brian lowered his voice. She feels sad that the woman she has loved for the past fifteen years has apparently preferred her job as a night woman.

"Yes. And I have to do it to survive. I'm kara now. And I don't have any wealth or intelligence like you. So stop expecting your teenage love and come back to reality. I am in a different world than you. I hope you can understand and leave me." replied Gisel making Brian's heart hurt even more.

"Fifteen years old I'm looking for you like crazy! And when we met you asked me to leave you. Does that make sense?" Brian wanted to cry saying it all. Whatever effort he did was useless and futile.

"Then how? Will your family that inherits such a big company to you easily accept a bitch like me to step foot into your house?" gisel asked Brian with his blind love all along.

"It won't be that easy, Brian. It is not that easy as an heir you make me as your companion. People like you will definitely be betrothed to any woman who is equal to you." continued Gisel who turned out to be unable to stand his tears. She cried. His heart was broken saying it all to Brian.

"Then from that. Just leave me. Don't try to find me. Just leave me, Brian." Gisel wiped away her falling tears and tried to stand up to Brian.

Then Brian grabbed Gisel's hand. He was desperate for what he was doing. Perhaps, this time was the best way to defend Gisel.

"Then, how much do I have to pay you so that you can be with me? Ten million? Twenty million? Tell. Whatever I'm gonna do to get you out of that male touch in there so you can be mine" Brian said with eyes that looked deeper into Gisel.

Their eyes met each other. Brian could clearly see Gisel's anxious eyes and was worried. Eyes that were filled with tears and eyes filled with longing for her.

"What are they talking about?" asked Regas when he had waited long enough at the bar table. Liana just kept quiet to accompany Regas who was feeling worried.

"I think that to this day you have come to Gisel" Liana told Regas. Regas did not immediately accept Liana's words.

"Why? Why that? I paid enough for Gisel and Gisel never complained about it." replied Regas.

Liana simply shook her head not understanding with Regas at this moment.

"Regently. I think it's obvious that Gisel doesn't use feelings when he's with you. But why do you seem to like Gisel now?" liana asked looking at Regas' eyes like they were caught stealing.

"What did you say? I don't understand." replied Regas a little wave.

"My point is that when one of Gisel's clients is already playing the feeling, Gisel will not hesitate to ask the client to stay away from him. Because playing without feeling it was Gisel's motto all along. But how? You've been playing with Gisel. What would Gisel do if he knew you liked him?" Liana's words sounded like a threat to Regas.

But Liana didn't care. Gisel's been suffering too much all this time with Brian. He tried to do anything so that Gisel would not have to suffer anymore because of his love.

"alright. Tell Gisel that I'm going home today. Tomorrow I'll come again and see Gisel. I'll talk to him tomorrow night" Regas said, hurriedly leaving the bar.

Liana only smiled looking at Regas's attitude that way. Liana only thought that Regas wanted to relieve his sadness because he was left by his wife. Who would have thought that it turned out that Regas had other intentions.
