Chapter 48: Chapter 48

Confused, Charlotte got out of the car she was driving. He was about to run towards the headquarters but he suddenly returned to the car when he remembered the bread from his bakery. He hurriedly picked up from the back seat a presentable basket containing special loaves one by one wrapped in beautiful plastic.

"Aissh! How long will this woman enslave me!" he said to himself

As he walks into the building he adjusts the carry -on without looking at the walker.

"Is that so ?!" he complained when something hit his shoulder.

He released the basket. Confused, he picked up the fallen loaves and returned them one by one to the container.

"What are you ?! Don't you know how to look where you're going ?! The extent of this road do you really have to hit me !?" he muttered as he looked at the loaves of bread.

"I'm sorry but I think you're the one who's not looking properly on the road," replied the person who collided.

"Wow and I'm still to blame-" He was stunned when he raised his eyes. He was amazed to see how handsome the man standing in front of him was.

"Why did you stop? Aren't you going to do me more?" Noah asked angrily.

Charlotte swallowed and immediately raised an eyebrow. "Tse!" at once he frowned and hurried into his friend's office.

Meanwhile, when Kendall saw Charlotte, he immediately adjusted himself. "How long have you been here? Maybe Grayson has been waiting at the airport for a while," he complained to the friend.

"I'm sorry ma'am. I fixed my shop before I left, didn't I? ... Oh!" at the same time it reached for the loaves of bread.

" What is this?"

"Give it to your chief. It's our bestseller item."

"You really are Charlotte, even if you never lose your corn. You're just going to drive me and you've really thought of carrying a greeting card."

"Ah, just give it to me. You know I don't want to go somewhere without carrying anything."

"I'll give it to you later. Let's see if I can be late."

"Wait Kendall! Who's the handsome man standing at the entrance?"

Kendall followed the friend's pointing finger.

"Inspector Green."

"Ah, he's also a policeman."

"It's probably here at headquarters. It's okay to be a roaming criminal."

"Kendall, introduce me oh."

"All right."

The two exited the building and when they reached the entrance where Noah was standing Kendall stopped.

"Hi! Inspector!" he greeted.

"Hi!" Noah was surprised to see the stunned woman with Kendall.

"It's my friend-"

"That woman is your friend?" the young man asked with a smile.

"Yes he is-"

Suddenly the shape of Charlotte's face changed. She raised an eyebrow and stared at the man again.

"Tse!" at the same time he walked to the car without waiting for his friend.

"I'm sorry Noah. There's a lump ..." Kendall apologized before turning around.

Noah just scratched his head as he looked at the car in which the two women were riding.

"What kind of drama is that?" Kendall asked the driving friend.

"There's no shattering of style. That's just an individual approach. Kendall is so handsome!" Charlotte replied tremblingly. "Is that a wife or a girlfriend?" added its question with chubby eyes.

"Nothing yet. But just a reminder. That person is smart so it's impossible to take that to the pasweet-sweet and your dramas."

"Does that like bread?"

"I do not know."

"Kendall, is it okay if I visit you at headquarters?"

"Are you serious? Wait, I thought you distanced yourself from men first because you were traumatized in your last relationship? You just saw a handsome man like you're being fucked in the ass."

"My God Kendall, I haven't had a boyfriend for three years. Do you think my heart hasn't had enough time to rest? Besides, is it bad if I can appreciate that person's face? You really, you just want to be the only one have a handsome boyfriend eh! "

"I'm just nervous about you. I know you. Sometimes you're the one who flirts with the man! Please don't do that to my headquarters if I don't really reject you friend!"

Charlotte smiled and licked the friend. "Did I flirt but I'm proud to say that no one has cheated on me yet?"

"Charlotte, stop! That man is my friend so don't ever make that mistake."

"Your friend? You can't help me any more. It's payback time Kendall. I'm going to charge you for your slaves," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Stop right there and drive fast. I don't want to be late every minute Grayson and I meet today."

"Why did you allow the man to study in America?" ingus ni Charlotte.

"Charlotte the life of a relationship doesn't just revolve around dating and courtship. Sometimes you also have to face the fact that you also have individual responsibilities outside of your romance."

"Wow, talk about deep talk!"

"Don't argue. Let me have a moment. I need to think of things that can comfort me if you don't want me to squat at the airport crying."

"But can you handle two years?" Charlotte's sudden seriousness.

"It was only two years. I turned twenty -three without a boyfriend, two more years."

Kendall arrived at the airport earlier but after a few minutes of waiting, Grayson arrived as well.

"All right Grayson, Kendall I'll leave you. Be careful on your trip Grayson. Kendall, I'll wait for you in the parking lot," Charlotte said goodbye.

"Thanks Charlotte," replied the man.

After the friend left, the weight and sadness gradually returned to Kendall's chest. She immediately hugged her boyfriend with tears streaming down her face.

"Opps ... we talked about this. It's forbidden to be sad. Remember we're not saying a forever goodbye here," joked Grayson who was also trying to hide his sadness.

Kendall immediately wiped away the tears that were still staring. She forced a smile and looked at her boyfriend's face. "Improve your studies there, huh? Also take care of yourself. Don't forget to call me every day. You still need to meet me every day on the web cam, it's hard so that your mischief doesn't attack you again. there. "

"Kendall, I'm a changed man now and you know it. We've been together for more than a year now and within that time did I go crazy?"

"No ..."

"See. I don't want you to worry that much. And then you also take better care of yourself especially now that I'll be away. Maybe I'll just hear that you're back to being your superwoman."

"That won't happen again. I'm happy with my position in the office now."

Kendall pulled out a piece of paper.

"What's this?"

"Your reminders. Stick them on the opposite side of your study table so you don't forget anything."

Grayson laughed and accepted the role. "Your family really loves to hand out a piece of paper. Don't worry I'll read this everyday. If you want I'll copy more and paste it all over my room."

The girl pinched her boyfriend on the side. "Stop joking. My chest is already tightening with sadness, you can even make me laugh!"

Grayson was serious. He grabbed his girlfriend by the chin and stared her in the eyes. "Let's not be sad here Kendall. My departure is also for us. This time I want to become a man good enough for you. I'll do my best so that somehow you can be proud of me too. I want you to be proud of me not because of my grandfather's money, not because of our business, not because of what my family has now but because of what I'm capable of doing. I'm willing to study hard for you. And in the future, I will still work hard for you ... "He reached into his pocket. "Wait for me ..." He pulled out a ring with small diamonds. "And when I come back, will you marry me Kendall?"

He wore the ring on the finger of his estranged girlfriend. They stared at each other as he swallowed in nervousness at the woman's answer.

Tears welled up in Kendall's eyes again. For a moment his eyes moved to the ring and to Grayson's face. This was probably the worst information he had ever experienced. "I-I'll be waiting for you Grayson ... I'm ready to wait ... I-And I'm ready to marry you when you come back," she cried in response.

Grayson immediately hugged the girl in delight. And there seemed to be no one around that he suppressed it with a kiss on the lips.

"I love you Kendall ..."

"I love you so much Grayson ... and no one can take my heart away from you. Whether you're near or far."

Kendall closed his eyes and deliberately kissed his girlfriend's lips again. Gradually the sadness in his chest disappeared. Everything has been replaced by the longing for the new life they will pursue as a couple. They will be apart for a while but with the return of the person she loves the most, it will be the fulfillment of their dream of being together forever.
