Chapter 17: Chapter 17

As the days go by, Ashy and Paul get closer, and add to that, Jem's functions and teasful words anc actions.. As time went on, they got to know each other. She proved that Paul was a really good person. What else would a woman look for in someone like heim? Whether she admits it or not that a little admiration has formed for Paul, she still won't say that and just keep it herself.

Sometimes Jem and Ashy don't meet in the office anymore because they are both busy with their jobs.

"Ohh Jem, are you still here? I thought you came home? Why are you here? Where is your car? " she asked her who had obviously been waiting for a ride.

"I hospitalized it it needs repair, and you seem to have taken a long time to come out now. " she asked her back.

"Yes, there was an emergency meeting upstairs earlier. I couldn't just go out, so I waited for it yo end. " she answered quickly.

"Do you still have a walk? We're going out. It's still early and its a chance for us to catch with things. Just bring aunt food when you go home.. We'll only be together once, you're always upstairs having lunch. " At the same time, it was hard on her, they missed each other.

It stood in front of her and then placed both hands on her waist.

"First, it's not my fault because it's your fault. You're pushing me. Second, you're always busy at work. So, be patient, "she replied, and then they laughed.

"All right, where do you want to go?" She asked again looking at her.

"Everywhere. When did I choose a place? As long as you tell me I'm okay, " she just laughed at her friend's teasing words.

While they were waiting for a car, a beautiful car was parked in front of them. When they opened the window, they saw Paul still smiling at them.

"Are you still there? Maybe the taxi will take a long time. I'll bring you hime. " Offer it to them.

Naturally, Jem did, but Ashy stopped her.

"Don't bother sir, we'll just wait here and its still early." She replied, still smiling.

"What are you doing? Maybe the car is really long. Come on, it's going to make us spend the night. You also need yo ho home early your mother has no one with in your house." She has a pub again.

"All right, you're on board. I'll take you. You're still a poor woman." He got out of the car to open the door of his car.

The two friends were still pushing to get into the car. Ashy was always angry with her friend.

"Sir, thank you? I'm really sorry. My car also broke down, so we had to wait. " Jem, on the other hand, reasoned that it was true that there was no incitement.

"What are you doing, its Paul? We're not in the office anymore. It's too formal if you call me sir here in the car. Where are you going down?" Later it questions them.

"Just drop us at the coffee shop. Ashy and I haven't been together for a long time, so let's get together first. Maybe you want to come?" This question surprised Ashy even more.

At least sometimes his friend is doomed. Will they invite their boss to a cheap coffee shop?

She stepped on her foot, which caused it to look at her. Then she blinked.

"Really? You want me to be with you? " He asked this once, looking in the mirror.

"Of course. It's for fun, my friend. You know, sir, she's been broken for a long time." Shee said she ignored the threats on Ashy's face.

Paul just smiled at what Jem was saying. She didn't know if she would be angry with her friend or just laugh at her.

Paul was the one to decide where they would eat. He will also pay, which Jem was very happy about.

As they enter the elegant and luxurious restaurant, Ashy deliberately slows down their walk so that Paul can get away from them slightly.

"You, you're overdoing it. If you tell him something, he might later believe that I'm really broken. Later, what else will he think of me? " It is a sigh.

"You know you really need to unwind too, sometimes. You can't be the one who's always sulking, sissy. " This caused her to almost pull so that they could sit down.

"Shut your mouth, or else? But I'll feed you a whole chili untill your mouth get burn," she threatened while shooting at the chili displayed on the table they passed.

"Yeah, hurry up so that Paul doesn't change his mind. It's nice to say the name, it's tender to listen to. " It was thrilling to tell her.

She just ignored the friend because it really wouldn't make her lose.

When they sat down, the waitress took their orders. While they waited, they talked about things that Ashy didn't want to include herself but she had no choice because they were together.

"So Jem, why did you say it was Ashy that has been broken?" Paul asked them.

"Sir, don't believe that Jem, I'm just really making a pretext for that." Excuse it. Shee had already told her friend to talk because maybe that's what she would say to him again.

"Why?" He asked again, laughing, while looking at Jem.

She just fell silent. Shee didn't even notice that the two were looking at each other because of her silence.

"Ohh see? You are thinking about Storm again. " she asked her once to flip her finger in front of it, which surprised her.

"So Storm is the name?" Paul asked.

"That's her ex-boyfriend, sir. Until now, she hasn't been able to forgive. " Jem replied.

"Pssst. You've already stopped. It's embarrassing, sir, Paul. "

"So who's Storm? It looks hurtful, I eman the name.? It's just the name of the storm." He joked with her.

"Storm Robles, that's the whole name. But let's do that. I'm done with that. I'm okay. Let's just eat." She deviates from their conversation that she really doesn't want to talk about.

"Wow, she did it as well to portray his name." Paul was joking.

"My friend really broke up with. So it's still floating. I hope she can find a boyfriend." Jem added with a smile..

"You've stopped. It's better to just eat so we can finish and when we get home we can have a peaceful rest.. Mom isn't home with anyone." She whispered to the two while secretly staring at Paul.

Shee realized that as time went on, he became more handsome. Maybe it's because of his tendency to fix himself. It looks really clean. No one will hesitate to kiss him anytime.

"Better be. Don't worry, I'll take uou home door to door to make sure you're safe. " It spits out food and doesn't seem to accept any rejection.

"Thank you, sir Paul. You're such a gentleman." she would have said something more when she felt Ashy stepping on her and then smiled a meaningful smile.

"..women are looking for a man," she continued.

Paul just laughed at what she said.

After they ate, he take them home. They delivered Jem first. She even winked at Ashy when they were leaving, so that Ashy would take her to her house.

While they are on the road,

"Jem is really funny, isn't she? Maybe she's happy when you're together. Feelings are light when we're with her. She never fails to say words that will really make you laugh."

She smiled at him as she rolled her eyes at the road.

"She's a really quiet person, I'm sure she's just there too. She's always been with me since we were studying. She comforts me, she's honest. When she knows you're wrong, she'll say it, but when she knows it's right, she will fight for it . She is like that. So sometimes we fight, "she laughed suddenly at what he said.

Paul stared at her as if he wanted to say or even ask.

"Ash, is it okay if I ask?" He looked at her to find out what hee reaction would be.

"Sure, what is that?" he asked back.

"About Storm Robles. I mean, why did you split up?" It boldly questioned her.

She didn'texpect it yo be like that.

"Ahh, is that it? A family problem? Maybe family is really more important to us. He, we didn't do the things we promised each other. It got to the point where we had to make tough decisions. Maybe it's because of that too. That's when the wrong relationship started. He had a girlfriend then, I fell in love with him, we became an item. Until the woman found out about us, she happens to be his wife now. " After Bite she focused more attention on the road.

"I'm sorry about that, I know that's what you went through. I hope not... "he swallowed and obviously wanted to retract what she said.

"Hopefully what?" Ashy asked him in surprise.

"I hope I didn't just ask. How insensitive. " He shook his head, obviously with remorse for what he had said earlier.

"It's okay, it's been a long time since that happened. I've been used to it for three years. And I know he's happy with the life he chose. Because he never came back. Maybe because we really aren't for each other..

It is just kept quiet until they arrive at their house.Paul also left immediately after saying goodbye to her mother.
