1 THE INCIDENT

An attractive-looking woman in a navy work suit, walked hastily to a five-star restaurant.

The span skirt was only knee-length, showing her long, white and smooth legs without the slightest flaw. Her legs look even more beautiful in cream colored high heels, although the shoes which are 15 cm high seem to make it a little difficult for her to walk, especially when in such a hurry.

"Akh, why is Mr. Revan suddenly having an impromptu meeting like this? Isn't it the weekend? I should have spent my time resting at home." She grumbled annoyed.

Just three meters from the entrance to the restaurant area, suddenly the 23-year-old woman's cell phone rang. She immediately reached into the bag slung over her left shoulder, without stopping her still hasty steps. Her gaze immediately shifted to the bag as her hand fumbled through the bag, looking for the cell phone.

Before she managed to get her phone, something bad happened unexpectedly.

"Aaarrrgg!" cried the woman as her leg suddenly slipped and knocked her off balance. Instantly her body floated, about to fall.

Lucky. A tall man with the appearance of a young executive reflexively caught her body, until she fell into the arms of the man who had been standing behind her for some time.

The man bowed slightly with one hand that managed to support the woman's back. Meanwhile, the other hand seemed to be wrapped around the belly of a beautiful long-haired woman who was now in her arms, without the slightest distance.

The incident made both of them look shocked, until their eyes locked for a moment.

The man looked at every inch of the woman's face which was now right under his face. The beauty and the tiny pink lips, almost made him lose consciousness. Ah, what a masterpiece of God that is too beautiful to pass up. Perfect! At least that's what he had in mind at the moment.

On the other hand, the woman did the same. She seemed to enjoy the good looks of a man who was around 27 years old. Eagle eyes, sharp nose, thin lips and a masculine facial character according to the Asian version. Really all of it stunned her, even almost forgot how to wink.

"Althaf!!"

Before they had time to end the euphoria, a woman's scream suddenly woke them up.

The man looked up, turned to the source of the voice, when he heard his name called. He widened his eyes and reflexively let go of his still supporting hand, sending the woman's body flying freely.

"Ouwww!!" screamed the woman while holding her waist which felt quite sore.

"Queen?" Althaf looked nervously at the woman standing two meters in front of him. In fact, he didn't care about the woman who was wincing in pain.

A hard slap suddenly landed on Althaf's left cheek, causing the man to turn his head to the right.

"So this is how you behave behind my back?" Queen stared blankly at Altaf's face.

"Honey, it's not what you think. I-I—"

"We broke up!"

Queen's statement instantly made Althaf froze for a moment. His eyes widened even more, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard from his lover's mouth. How could he possibly end his relationship with the Queenzha Asyra Pearl over such a trivial matter?

He couldn't understand why Queen could easily judge him, after two years of their relationship as lovers.

"What do you mean? It's not what you think, I'm just trying to help her, Honey." Althaf tried to explain what had just happened and involved himself with a woman he didn't know at all.

Meanwhile, the woman he had helped was still sitting below and watching the fight between the lovers.

"What do you mean? Helping to hug like that, huh?" rebuked Queen still showing disbelief.

"I didn't mean to, what can I do?" Althaf seemed to be struggling to find the right answer so that his lover would believe him.

"I don't want to know! I just believe what I see. Anyway we broke up and today's meeting with your grandfather is cancelled!" Queen emphasized with more emphasis at the end of her sentence.

"And you!" pointed Queen to the woman who had been helped by Althaf. "You cheap woman, usually just ruining people's relationships!" She cursed then suddenly made the woman look furious.

The woman had opened her mouth to want to reply to Queen. However, she retracted her intention, knowing that she was the cause of the conflict between them.

Queen left the place, ignoring Althaf.

"Honey!" called Althaf as he stepped to chase Queen. However, just two steps away, he suddenly braked his feet again and then turned around, approaching the unfamiliar woman.

"Our business isn't done yet!" He threatened then, pointing and glaring at the woman.

"Queen! Honey!" Althaf moved from that place, then chased the Queen who was already quite far away. In fact, the woman had already climbed into a red car parked in the restaurant area.

Althaf had not managed to approach him, suddenly Queen drove his car at a high enough speed, so that he could only freeze, staring at Queen's car which was getting further and further away from him.

"Queenza!!" He shouted still trying to call the woman who was either still his lover or not. "Aaarrrgh!" Althaf groaned in frustration as he clapped one hand firmly.

He felt aggrieved by what had just happened. With a flaming expression on his face and a clenched jaw, he stepped back to where he came from, intending to approach the woman who had ruined his relationship with his lover. However, it seemed that the woman had gotten up and walked into the restaurant building.

Althaf increased his pace, trying to catch up to the woman. Until finally, he arrived right in front of the restaurant door made of dark glass. He swiftly pulled the woman's hand forcibly.

"Where are you going?" The woman turned around in slow motion. Straight black hair that flowed beautifully moved with the flow, until it gently touched Althaf's face.

"Let go of my hand!" The woman struggled, trying to pull her hand out of Althaf's grip.

"You think you can just run away from me?" Althaf pursed his lips while throwing a cynical look. "I don't want to know, you have to take responsibility for what you've done!" He added, pulling the woman's hand forcibly.

"Let go! What did I do?" The woman was still trying to rebel. However, Althaf's hand was too strong to beat.

"You still don't realize what you've done? You don't see how angry my lover is, because of you!" snapped Althaf then as he continued to pull the woman's hand.

"I'm sorry, but please don't take me away from here. I have something to meet inside." The woman looked pleading. He hoped Althaf would forgive him, even though he had done nothing wrong.

Ignoring the woman's apology, Althaf opened the door of a silver car parked in the restaurant area.

"Come in!" Althaf asked the woman.

"B-but—"

"Come in!" Althaf widened his eyes, causing the woman to shrink for a moment.

The woman was forced to get into the car and sit in the front seat, next to the driver's seat.

Althaf closed the car door again, then he walked around to the front and also got into his car.

"What's your name?" Althaf glanced sideways as soon as he sat in the driver's seat.

The woman was silent for a moment, before she finally answered Althaf's question. "Qanita."
