Aura threw her tired body. Correction, actually, it wasn't her body that felt tired, but her heart because Aura always felt anxious, afraid of being caught living together with Axel! Even to the point of dreaming about it!
Even Min Young, the person closest to Aura, didn't know anything about this. Of course, Aura didn't want to take the risk until Min Young accidentally spilled the beans! It could be dangerous! Surely, Ji Hwan would bombard her with many questions again!'It feels very suffocating when there's no friend to talk to!' Aura thought.If possible, Aura wanted to call her parents. Sharing stories, not about Axel, of course, because Aura didn't want to shock and disappoint her parents.There were still many other things she could talk about, but unfortunately, now they were enjoying their vacation, who knows in which country. Aura only knew that her parents were going to tour Europe. Enjoying their old age by traveling around the world to relieve the burdAxel answered Clay's call. Eager to hear what the man had to say, but unfortunately, this time Axel had to swallow disappointment because Clay, who was usually relentless in digging for information, now had to admit defeat."Sorry, Bro, this time I throw in the towel because the person who set the trap for Aura the first time is really clever, making it difficult for me to trace. No results so far!" Clay complained, the first time feeling like a failure as an informant. He usually always succeeded! Damn!Axel's shoulders slumped upon hearing Clay's words. The hope he had, seemingly snatched away just like that, left Axel with no one else to rely on in solving the first mystery. The puzzle that brought him together with Aura."Are you sure it can't be worked on, Bro?" Axel asked, still trying to negotiate, maybe Clay would change his mind and find a way to help him."Sorry, I've tried every possible way, but the result remains nil. My guess is there are only two
Meanwhile, Lionel, who had just returned from Japan for a commercial shoot, was considering whether to contact Aura. His initial plan to invite Aura to dinner together, without Axel’s presence, had to be postponed because there was urgent work to be done, not surprising that it had been delayed for so long."Aura?""Yes? It's unusual for you to call me this late. Is there a problem?" Aura asked, anxious. People usually dare to call late at night because there’s an urgent matter, right?"No. There's no problem at all. I just want to ask you something. I apologize for bothering you at this hour.""It's okay, I'm just curious. So, what's up?" Aura asked with a pounding heart. Curious about what Lionel wanted to ask that he couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning"Can we have dinner together tomorrow? Without your bodyguard, I mean," Lionel asked, making Aura bite her lip, a little hesitant.It couldn't be denied that over time, Aura had grown accustomed to Axe
"Is he angry?" Lionel asked a moment after Aura turned off her phone."I don't know. But I don't care!" Aura replied casually. Or pretended to be casual, more precisely, because it couldn't be denied that Aura felt a little pang of guilt when she heard Axel's worried tone!'Just ignore it, Aura! Don't think too much! It's better to enjoy your time with Lionel now, there might not be another chance like this! Because after this, Axel will surely tighten his surveillance!' Aura thought, hoping that by doing so, her heart could be a little calmer. But no matter how much Aura ignored Axel, her heart still felt uneasy, even though Aura could hide it well in front of Lionel!The dinner felt enjoyable. Their conversation was endless, flowing from one topic to another. And when dessert was served, that was when Lionel felt a flutter in his heart.'Now or never!' Lionel's inner self convinced him, observing Aura without blinking.Aura spooned her favorite tiramisu cake li
It felt like Aura had just dozed off for a short while when the sun came to greet her! No wonder Aura's face looked like a zombie, so disheveled! Lazily, Aura brushed her teeth and washed her face, deciding to have breakfast."Hopefully Axel is no longer mad at me!" Aura hoped, but unfortunately, her hope was shattered when she saw Axel's behavior, which tended to avoid her! Ugh!Aura bit into her whole wheat bread while glancing at Axel, who remained silent since last night's argument. Aura bit her lip, thinking about a conversation she deemed appropriate to ease the tension between them."Are you still upset with me about yesterday night?" Aura started the conversation, praying not to be ignored."I have no right to be angry, Miss," Axel replied flatly without looking at Aura, just continuing to eat his omelets.Yes, he made an omelets for himself, even though Axel usually made one for Aura every morning! But Aura couldn't complain, it was still good that Axel
Axel tightly gripped his phone after reading the headline news that was causing a stir in Korea. The news about Aura and Lionel officially being in a relationship. News that was well-received by fans. Exactly as Ji Hwan predicted! Although there were still some opposing voices, they were few, incomparable to the overwhelming support. According to Ji Hwan, those who opposed were probably just jealous of Aura!Axel's eyes read the rows of text displayed on his phone. A letter from Aura to the fans officially released by the agency. The letter that infuriates Axel to no end! 'Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are all well. With this letter, I want to apologize for making you worried. Besides that, I also want to share happy news with you. Currently, I am in a relationship with a man I respect and a man who can always take care of me. We have known each other and been friends for years, relying on each other. Maybe you're wondering, how can news like this suddenly co
They arrived at the apartment in silence, no more conversation since earlier. Aura was busy redirecting her thoughts to avoid incessant chatter in front of Axel. Axel, on the other hand, was preoccupied thinking about what Aura had said. The farewell statement that will happen.The phrase 'just counting the days' made Axel slightly anxious, realizing that soon they would be apart. Realizing that soon he will be distant from Aura. No more seeing her every morning or briefly before bedtime. Even though Axel had gotten used to Aura's presence! Even just imagining Aura no longer living in his apartment already makes Axel feel lost! Messed Up! Axel shook his head softly, hoping to normalize his thoughts. Not just thinking about Aura all the time, but he failed! Aura seemed to have filled Axel's mind without him realizing it. Their togetherness had made Axel accustomed, and realizing that Aura would return to her own home made Axel feel lost and unwilling.Aura entered her ro
How could Axel think she was drunk when she had put so much effort into looking this way? Could a drunk woman walk so confidently? Nothing, right? Insensitive! Men really are clueless! Jerk!Min Young growled in frustration and stormed into Aura's room, making the room's owner scream in surprise. And more surprising when she saw Min Young's appearance, as if she were attending an awards ceremony! Go all out! Even though her dress only reached her knees, but Min Young's appearance was truly extraordinary!"Oh my gosh! What are you doing? Why dress up like this? Are you going to a party? Or award ceremony?" Aura innocently asked, making Min Young even more annoyed!No bodyguard, no boss, both are equally clueless! Annoying!If she could, Min Young wanted to curse at Aura, but the problem was, that woman was her friend! And Min Young realized that Aura wasn’t wrong, she was just asking! "What's wrong with my appearance?""Nothing. It's just that I'm not used to
Max read news about Lionel and Aura, a broad smile appearing on his usually flat face, making his wife curious."Why are you smiling so broadly? Do you have good news?""Aura has finally officially started dating Lionel.""Really? So fast? Didn't Lionel just realize his feelings? Like you told me yesterday after meeting him," his wife chattered without pause, which Max answered with a nod."Hmm, that's true, but it seems like Lionel is afraid Aura will be taken by someone else! Especially Lionel is worried about Axel's presence, the man who replaced me. No wonder Lionel moved quickly!"Max's playful comment was met with laughter from Lisa, his wife."It could be! Isn't Aura a beautiful and attractive woman? Surely many men are racing to get close to her! Maybe Lionel is afraid of losing the competition if he delays too long!" Lisa chuckled, making Max burst into laughter, something that only happened when he was close to his wife.If not, don't expect it!
