You can't tie me Up

"Hi, sorry for the long wait." That soft voice sounds familiar. Luna smiles in disbelief at seeing Varell in front of her as well as Kevin who seems to not believe what he sees, what does this guy do at his table with that annoying smile.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Luna enthusiastically makes Kevin glance cynically. Has her attitude always been that sweet to Varell?

Kevin was really upset to see them share a smile like that.

"We're waiting for someone, please leave us alone." Said Kevin coldly made Luna glance at him annoyed but Kevin didn't care.

Varell just smiles, he doesn't answer, and afterward sits comfortably in front of Kevin and Luna.

"I think there's something I need to explain here. I'm here as a representative of the Kings hotel, I'm the interior designer they sent to meet a representative from Furniture K."

"Really? It would be easier to work with a friend." Said Luna happy.

"Of course. I didn't expect that either. maybe we're soulmates." Said Varell was no less pleased. Varell deliberately says such a thing to impress Luna and it looks like Luna is indeed impressed.

"True, pleasant destiny," Luna replied, she doesn't think about a soulmate in a romantic relationship but rather a soulmate in a working relationship.

Hey... Am I here? What are they talking about? Do they think I'm just a chair here?

Kevin was so upset, oh my god, didn't Varell see his matching suit with Luna?

How dare he...

And Smith, why did he send someone like Varell? Does he want to help me?

"Get the meeting started, we don't have much time," Kevin said, he couldn't wait.

"We don't have another important schedule today, sir." Luna's intrusion adds to Kevin's annoyance while Varell just smiles.

"All right, let's get started," Varell said while giving a file containing an interior image of the Kings Hotel to Kevin and Luna.

"I brought some pictures of my design. the selection of paints of each room has been done as well as the painted halls, corridors and lobbies and the installation of wallpaper according to their respective themes. Let's start with Lobby, as we know it. The lobby is the first impression when we enter a hotel, here Mr. Smith wants the impression of such a strong Indonesian nuance because however Hotel Kings Jakarta is the second hotel in Indonesia after Bali and the largest in Southeast Asia therefore the impression received must be strong and characterful." Said Varell, Kevin, and Luna listened carefully while looking at the picture of the lobby which was still plain without furniture, that's where Furniture K has an important role to play in bringing the atmosphere in every room.

"Because the theme here wants to show the strong side of Indonesian culture then we can put furniture with typical Jepara carvings. Our company has several types of Furniture that cooperate with wood craftsmen from Jepara... It will perfectly match the theme of Hotel Kings." Said Kevin.

"Interesting, but if all use typical carvings Jepara while we are in Jakarta eating would be unfortunate if we do not involve the characteristics of Betawi culture." Varell's advice. Kevin smiles, this guy is so smart he doesn't eat around his advice when it's good advice.

"We can combine Jepara carvings right at the entrance, it will look amazing and have a deep impression and we will put the typical Betawi lights that have been developed with a little modern touch." Luna's suggestion, Luna's advice is very good makes Kevin very proud of her.

"Good idea, we can also place a reception desk with typical Kalimantan carvings. and sofas typical of other regions. We can combine every Indonesian culture and apply it in the hotel lobby so that it can make a strong impression of the diverse characteristics of Indonesian culture." Said Kevin added. Varell thinks for a moment Kevin and Luna's ideas helped him a lot.

"We can send some furniture pictures that match the theme on the lobby." Proposals Luna.

"I'd rather see it in person, if you don't mind I want to see it and choose for myself of course on your recommendation."

"Well... We have a large enough room intended to sample each of our products. You can look around with our head of marketing." Said Kevin smiling, so he won't be with Luna for long. That's what Kevin had in mind.

"But, I prefer to work with people I already know. If you don't mind, I want Miss Luna to take me to see you tomorrow." Varell replied to Kevin's smile.

Damn... He took a chance at a time like this.

"I don't think that's a problem, I'm pretty good at getting to know every one of our products." Luna smiled.

"Isn't that right, sir?" asked Luna pressing. Kevin can only glance at the annoyance and agree to it by force.

"All right..." Kevin replied forceless, his face reddened holding back the anger now.

What's wrong with Luna? It was as if he was opening the opportunity for Varell to be closer to him, did she intentionally accept Varell's offer?

Kevin's heart feels hot, they haven't started yet but his heart has burned jealously.

Luna herself hides her winning smile.

You can't tie me Up Kevin, murmur Luna in a triumphant heart, he deliberately accepts Varell's request that he have distance with Kevin and for Kevin to blush because of an upset like this.

Now that you feel it, it feels like you're in that position

...

On the way home, Kevin raved about his anger during the meeting. Luna and Varell look annoying when laughing together like they're making their hearts smolder.

Soulmate he said? What does he know about a soulmate?" Kevin grunts, make Luna just shut up hiding her smile. Is Kevin jealous right now?

Luna's heart is happy to see Kevin's annoyed expression at this time.

"What's so great about such a fate? Our destiny is so much greater, you should feel it." Kevin's babble can't stand those annoying words that are ringing in his ears at the moment.

"Should I go to the salon tomorrow?" Luna said deliberately to make Kevin more upset and right, Kevin looks more upset.

No way! I'll cut your salary if you beautify yourself tomorrow." Threatening Kevin, he's acting like a kid losing Lollipop at the moment is adorable. If only there wasn't Monic among them it would all be easier. Thought Luna was smiling sadly.
