4. Introduce Oneself

"You didn't find his identity? Are you stupid?"

The man with unkempt clothes could only stare at his men lazily. It's useless if he keeps cursing and mocking if there is no result at all. Since that night his mind was always unfocused just because he thought of one woman. Unfortunately, it also has an impact on his work even though he tries hard to stay focused.

The confidant could only sigh softly. It's been an hour of standing only to find insults and various words of ridicule. Seeing his silent master he immediately moved while placing a folder on the table. Right in front of the man who kept showing her a disappointed face.

"It's not that I didn't find it, sir. It's all just a minor obstacle because I never saw who the person you were referring to was. So, can you tell me what the characteristics of that person are?" He said with a forced smile.

The man sighed again for the umpteenth time. This was either because he was stupid because he didn't tell beforehand or because this trusted subordinate wanted to prank him. The man lazily took the map that was right in front of him, then opened it.

The man looked back at his subordinates who now raised an eyebrow. He cleared his throat for a moment. "You've never let me down," he said with a small smile.

"I will go and don't follow me." The man said again as he straightened his messy clothes.

"Ready." The confidant man also answered with a mocking smile. It was something he used to do when his Master was going to meet new prey.

The man immediately left after making sure his appearance was neat again. He gave a meaningful smile before finally patting the man on the shoulder before leaving. Leaving the confident man who is now holding back a smile with a slow shake of his head.

Meanwhile, the girl in casual clothes was enjoying the cup of coffee she ordered earlier. Morning and coffee. The right combination wherever the atmosphere is, of course, can also calm a bored soul. Moreover, the sun is so warm that it adds to her relaxation of her.

"Good morning to me," she mumbled after a sip of her coffee and closed her eyes as she leaned back in her chair.

Before long, the sunlight she enjoyed with her eyes closed felt different. She tried to ignore but still, the shadow in front of her did not disappear. The girl opened her eyes. She narrowed her eyes. Started at a figure he didn't recognize was watching her slowly. She took a deep breath and walked away.

"Looks like we've met before, Miss."

The girl just turn around for a moment then walked back and sat down in another chair. She put her coffee cup on the table and leaned back again, enjoying the morning sun. While the man smiled faintly at the girl's behavior and then follow her to the chair where the girl was. He sat down in the chair facing the girl.

"Don't disturb my precious time, sir. Go because your presence is not needed here." The girl politely chased away the man who suddenly came to interrupt her time.

The man cleared his throat. "Sorry if I interrupted your time."

"Don't block my sun anymore. I thought nothing important. Can you get out of here? I want to be alone."

"Can just ask me one question before I go?"

The girl opened her eyes. She stared intently at the figure in front of her who looked so calm. She shook her head and took her coffee cup. Sipping her coffee again. "Go while I'm still kind."

"I promise only one question. If you answer me I'll leave right away." The man said reassuringly.

"What advantage do I get?"

The man raised one eyebrow. His eyes continued to stare at the hazel eyes in front of him before finally chuckling. "Whatever you want."

The girl thought about her decision and then nodded in agreement. "Tell me what it is."

The man smiled. "Easy. I hope I'm not mistaken. What … You attended a masquerade party two days ago at the Blue Rivier Hotel? I was just curious and accidentally saw you here so I approached to make sure it was you or not."

The girl looked thoughtful, and after a few min, utes she shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere and even just got out of the house after a week of doing errands. And that, today. I'm sorry but you got the wrong person."

The man stared intently into the girl's eyes. The woman in front of him did look too young to attend a party that was almost entirely businessmen and adults, but he didn't understand why her eyes were so similar to those of the woman he met that night. Could he be wrong?

"Are you sure? Somehow I feel sure if that night I met you."

The girl took a sip of her coffee. "I have answered one question. I thought a guy like you wouldn't break a deal but humans can't be perfect."

The man sighed softly. He reached into his wallet and handed a few bills right in front of the girl. They stared at each other again.

"Did I ask you for money?"

The man withdrew his hand again, stowing the precious sheet of paper back into his wallet. "Then what do you want, Miss?"

The girl points the way. Made the man follow the direction he was pointing before finally understanding. The man started to move, but before he left he handed a business card in front of the girl's desk.

"There's nothing wrong with getting to know each other, right?"

The girl rolled her eyes lazily and took the man's business card to look at.

"Successful man," she praised which got a nod from the man. "Unfortunately I'm not interested. Keep it for yourself," she said as she handed the business card to the man in front of her.

The man received his business card back. He looked at the small card with a smile on his face. He nodded slowly and tucked the thin object into his coat pocket.

The girl left after that. Leaving a man who was frozen because he was rejected again by a woman and even left just like that. A sigh was heard. Emotions were taking over him because of the unknown girl's impudent actions, but there was one thing that bothered him. The girl's voice and demeanor were almost the same as the woman who rejected him that night.

"It wasn't easy to get to you. No problem. I like challenges like this," muttered the man who watched the girl's body slowly leave.

The man-made to phone after. Calling someone then starts to leave. Leaving a deserted outdoor cafe there is also a figure there who keeps peeking from behind the wall.

The girl continued to stare from a distance. Her eyes wandered. A cynical smile appeared when she saw the figure of the man who entered the car across the street after interrupting her time. She took her cell phone and connected to someone she knew, then walked behind the small alley.
