"I don't mean the concept, Miss Virendra," Cut Ares with a quiet intonation. "But the attitude you will take if you face problems like the previous couple. What does a Briena do, if you face such a problem?" continued Ares as he folded his hands on the table, holding his chin in the two interlocking hands. The pair stared intently at the other pair of eyes, trying to intimidate the owner of the brown eye. But unfortunately the owner of the brown eyes was not at all affected by the sharp stare.

"Maa'f, but I think the topic you're asking has just come out of our discussion. We were talking about work and all of a sudden you were asking me another topic. I have no reason to answer your question, Mr. Ares," Briena said sharply.

'But you also have no reason not to answer my question. Come on Briena... I know that we're the same kind of people. We at least like to keep the questions we can actually say. Since my question bothered me a little bit, that's why I asked you directly. So what's your answer?" says Ares calmly, the man having the same aura as Briena. It's undeniable and Briena is getting interested in a guy named Ares. Briena decides to answer the man's questions, although in fact she at least likes to discuss issues outside of business with a client.

Briena folds her hands onto the table and advances her body slightly towards Ares. "I'm going to break up with my girlfriend," Briena replied staring back at the pair of sharp but sharp eyes.

"Why?"

"First. He's not the last living male creature on earth. second. For me a lover is not worth it, so I have to defend him desperately. third. I don't like silly things, like running away from home. It's too complicated and a waste of time," Briena replied.

"So you're going to let go of someone you love?"

"Actually... my main reason, even if I decide to go into a relationship, it's not love."

Then what?

"Eehhmm... need maybe. yes... that kind of stuff. I need him and him... I don't know, it doesn't matter," Briena said. "When I don't need it any more, why do I keep it? What's more, my family doesn't condone our relationship."

Heh, interesting, think Ares.

"Then what if you fall in love with your lover? Chances are you're in love and not falling in love it's 50:50. After all, the word man cannot control the feeling of love. Maybe your principle doesn't want to use love, but over time, you could get stuck and fall in your partner's heart."

Briena squinted her eyes towards Ares. For me love is irrational, so I can't possibly get caught up in that feeling. I have good self-control.

"It's just a parable, Briena. You just have to answer what I'm asking you. The key word is that love is rational."

"Then I'll stay with him."

"Your parenting problem?"

"I'll make them agree."

"You said you didn't like complicated things? You want to waste your time, just to prove it to your parents. That, your beloved is worth it to be the son-in-law of the Viendra family."

"It's different. The key word is, love is rational. So, in my case let's just say my parents' blessing is the hurdle. I can't stay silent and accept defeat. More precisely, I always get whatever I want. Whatever obstacles I face to realize my wishes, it will always be worth what I will get later. I can't possibly do something that doesn't benefit me, even though the comparison is only 0.1%. That's not a Briena," Briena said confidently.

"So, you're going to maintain your relationship because you don't want to lose?"

"That's it. As rational as love is to me, my ego remains number one. If I can get both, why should I take the others off. I'm sure I can get the blessing of my parents. Besides, I'm going to choose a future lover who can prove my sentence."

Cih, it's amazing to answer, think Ares.

"What if the man you love doesn't love you?"

"I will do everything I can to make her mine. The issue of love is not important, most importantly it is mine."

"You mean, you're going to try to catch up to him. Even if you have to act aggressively. Huh. Isn't the prestige of the woman too high to chase after a man, do you want to lower your prestige for a male being?" asked the man staring intently at the woman in front of him.

"Of course," said the woman firmly.

"I'll tell you one thing, Miss Virendra. Some men prefer to be hunters rather than prey. And I'm a first-category guy," said the man with a slanted smile, from his tone sounding cynical.

"You should also know Mr. Ares. Some women prefer hunting rather than being hunted. They're smarter at acting one step ahead, than they are at being dumb women who just wait. And I'm a first-category woman," Briena said no less cynically.

For a split second they threw their sharp stares at each other. Assess each other's meaning, trying to find the gap of each character. Until finally Ares, sighed for a moment and then uttered a sentence that made Briena a little surprised. The girl didn't think that the man in front of her could be that attractive.

"Then what about me. Am I interesting enough to be able to match you? Oh, don't be as much of a question as cassanova who seduces you out there. I'm just a little curious, but we're one principle anyway. I don't like boring relationships either."

"Huh, I'm not. I admit, you're a pretty interesting man, Mr. Ares. But unfortunately, you're not that interesting until I'm tempted to tease you." Briena smiles sarcastically as she utters her scathing sentence. Briena's answer again amazed Ares, the woman again managed to fascinate Ares with her sharp mouth. Especially when Briena continues her sentence. "But I wouldn't refuse if you asked me to be your lover," Briena said quietly.

"You're not interested in me, but you're interested in being my lover. Quite interesting," commented Ares.

"The relationship that we will live is certainly not like most couples. Let's just say the basis of our relationship is 'symbiosis mutualism' and you take it easy, I'm not the colossal lover who's going to rule you 24 hours. You can have relationships with other people because I'll be. You know that in the end, we do have to end our relationship, so never bring feelings to this relationship," Briena explained at length.

"Call."

At the first time.

At the first place.

They officially became a couple. Two people who have the same principle of life. Two people with the same kind of thinking. Two people who never believed something silly were like 'in love'. Two people who believe that the relationship exists because of mutual need and not love. They both only bind the status between the two and not the body let alone their hearts.

Flashback Off

"I have to go," Briena said as she realized from her daydream. Edged a little to get out of ares' confines. The woman had to get ready to attend her family meeting with Vian's family. Ares only observes Briena's improved activities without interrupting them. "I left first," Briena said, stepping straight into the exit of her room without turning toward Ares again. Leaving that guy who seems to be thinking of something.
