The atmosphere of Eduard's workspace seemed gripping. Eduard's gaze was like a laser capable of splitting anything in front of him. Simon who saw the sharp gaze that Eduard gave could only remain silent. “Why can you let this marriage fail!”
“Sorry Sir,” Simon said, lowering his head. He was wrongly estimated. He is too focused to forget that insiders can be a destroyer.
Eduard's anger really poked out he took out his firearm and pointed it right in Simon's forehead. One pull on the trigger, Simon's life died that very second.
Simon could only resign when the firearm was neatly perched on his forehead. This was all due to his negligence in executing Eduard's orders. Simon knew very well Eduard did not like failure, let alone defeat.
Eduard was conscious even though he pulled the trigger of his firearm. It will not all come back to the way it was. He threw the firearm in any direction.
Eduard's anger flared up when he saw Simon's face. He walked and turned his back on Simon. “Now what's the plan?”
“There is no other way than to make Miss Averyl bend her knees in the presence of the Master,” Simon replied.
Eduard turned his body to face Simon. “You mean?”
“Master should be able to make Miss fall in love before her marriage to Mr. Arsya is accomplished.”
“What do you say, I have to lower my pride just to beg Averyl's love?” Eduard disagreed with Simon's suggestion this time. How can the charm of an Eduard Havelaar that is so stunning among women must beg for love.
“Give me a mirror!” Eduard's orders.
Simon swiftly took out a small mirror that he always kept in his shirt pocket. Then give it to Eduard.
Eduard received the mirror and looked at the face that still looked handsome and dazzling. His life remains at its maximum. His halis was neatly not as thick as Sinchan's. His face was smooth without pimples. But why did Averyl not fall in love with her, even rejecting her marriage and choosing Arsya. “I am still very handsome and unrivalled but why did Averyl refuse to marry me?”
It felt like Simon wanted to thaw back at Eduard's confidence level, but if he showed up he finished today. “Maybe Miss Averyl does not like old men,” replied Simon origin.
Eduard returned the mirror to Simon with a slight roughness. “You're insulting me?”
“Not Sir, but now in your head has grown one gray. Maybe Averyl isn't interested in grizzled men.” Eduard recaptured the mirror Simon was holding to ensure gray hair on his head. It turns out Simon's speech was right, now in his head grows one gray. Not just one but two.
“Free my schedule for tomorrow. I'll improve my good looks a little less because of this fucking gray hair!”

Arsya's car stopped in the basement of Averyl's apartment. “Thank you sir for driving me,” said Averyl then bowed respectfully before getting out of Arsya's car.
“Tomorrow you enter work, I wait for you. Don't be late?”
“Good Sir,” replied Averyl. He closed the car door and looked at the departure of Arsya's car which began to move away.
Averyl took the elevator to get to his apartment. Arriving at Averyl's apartment is now able to breathe with relief. The scent of the lavender flower she missed was really tickling on her nose.
Averyl cleanses his body before resting, his body feels tired after undergoing activities that drain his emotions.
Averyl walked hurriedly towards the door. He was shocked when he opened the door to find Eduard standing in front of the door of his apartment. “What are you here for?” ask Averyl. He researched the neat clothes of Eduard wearing a tuxedo.
“We have to talk.”
Averyl locked the door of his apartment and looked at Eduard. “I'm late and don't have time to talk to you,” replied Averyl. He walked away from Eduard. It's not much time he doesn't want to be late on his first day back at work.
Eduard's after Averyl. “Just a moment,” said Eduard a little pushy.
Averyl didn't care about Eduard's words. He focused on staring at the screen of his phone that continued to sound. There was an email coming in containing Arsya's schedule today, as well as some other documents.
Seeing Averyl get into the elevator Eduard finally tailed. He looked at Averyl's serious face focused on his phone. It turned out that this woman was more beautiful when focusing on her work, maybe next time I should come to her room to pay attention to Averyl's pretty face.
When the elevator opened in the busmen he walked out to his car. Averyl pushed the button to unlock his car. “Why did you get in my car!” Averyl snapped at the sudden behavior of Eduard sitting in the steering chair.
“Sit down let me drive you!” Didn't want to argue Averyl was following Eduard's orders. He sat next to the driver's seat.
“Hurry up, I don't want to be late!” If only someone else were to speak like that, it felt like Eduard wanted to tear the mouth of an impolite person commanding him. But the one who spoke was Averyl, Eduard's task this time to conquer the woman who had already managed to attract his attention.
Eduard was eager to talk to Averyl. But this was the first time he had brought his own car after so many years. Eduard wanted to take Averyl to the office instead of the hospital so he had to let Averyl talk delayed.
Arriving at the group's MA, Averyl got off the car. “Come out let me take him to basement.”
“No need let me take this car. Later at home office I'll pick you up.” After ending his speech, Eduard drove forward without waiting for Averyl's reply.
Averyl frowned seeing Eduard's strange behavior. But this was not the time to think about Eduard's behavior. The clock on his wrist was already showing at seventy-five minutes. He rushed towards Arsya's room with a slight run.
Averyl neutralized his breath first before knocking on Arsya's door.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
Arsya's voice told him to come in. Averyl came in and walked over to Arsya.
“You must be punished for being five seconds late!”

Anyone know what punishment Arsya will give Averyl?
For those who answer later I love Eduard's gray gift 🤭
See you in the next chapter, bye 💕
