Stargazing Company

Eleanore and Ivander walked far apart after getting off the bus they were riding. Because they accused each other for the incident that occurred on the bus earlier.

Ivander walked ahead leading the way, leaving Eleanore behind alone. With his long steps, Ivander quickly arrived inside the company.

Because too many people were passing around the company, as well as Ivander's fast pace, it was difficult for Eleanore to catch up with the man.

With great difficulty and also several times nudged other people, finally Eleanore was able to align her steps with Ivander who had arrived earlier in the lobby of the Stargazing Company.

"You walk really fast," said Eleanore, throwing a sharp glare at Ivander who was next to her.

"Follow me." Ivander said briefly and directly walked toward the receptionist who was worked at the lobby.

"Is there anything that I can help you, sir?" asked the receptionist as Ivander approached with Eleanore in tow.

"I want to meet Hector Will," Ivander replied, mentioning a name that Eleanore didn't know.

"Wait! Isn't that the name of the president director of Stargazing?!" Eleanore thought with a shocked expression twisting to Ivander.

Eleanore couldn't understand how Ivander could easily say that he wanted to meet the president director of a well-known company like stargazing.

Just like Eleanore's reaction, the face of the receptionist who served Ivander changed slightly, although she immediately turned decent again. "Have you made an appointment with Mr Will, sir?" The receptionist asked again to make sure.

"Tell him that Ivander Floryan came looking for him." Shamelessly, Ivander said such a thing to the receptionist who served him.

Full of doubts and hesitation, the receptionist no longer lengthened the conversation with Ivander and preferred to directly contact the secretary of the president of the company to confirm whether this strange person in front of her really knew their Boss.

There was a change in the facial expression of the receptionist who was on the phone. She was really surprised when she heard the reply given was very enthusiastic and asked her to convey to their guests that the president director himself would be the one to pick up the person.

"Sir, please wait a moment, Mr. Will will be here soon to pick you up," said the receptionist politely after hanging up the phone.

"Okay." Ivander calmly returned to the sofa near the lobby and sat there while waiting for Hector to pick him up.

Eleanore who was confused followed Ivander down on the sofa and impatiently asked Ivander "How do you know such an important person like Hector Will?"

"I told you that we came here to meet my trusted assistant, aren't you stupid enough to realize the situation?" Ivander looked at Eleanore with an arrogant look.

Hearing Ivander's answer, Eleanore soon gritted her teeth in annoyance seeing the man's gesture being so arrogant now.

Unable to stand with Ivander, Eleanore looked away not wanting to speak further with him. So, the two of them waited in the lobby in silence with no one talking.

It didn't take long before a group of people quickly walked towards where Ivander and Eleanore were waiting.

Then, there was an exclamation that was so excited in their ears.

"Master!" called a man who was widely recognized as the owner of the Stargazing Company, none other than Hector Will.

"Finally you came," answered Ivander after seeing a familiar face.

Ivander got up and walked over to Hector and with great respect Hector Will bowed his head to the unknown person.

"I'm sure you want to tell me something. Come follow me, sir." Hector immediately led the way and Ivander followed Hector's footsteps.

Not wanting to be left behind again, Eleanore immediately hurried from her seat to follow where Ivander was going, she didn't want to be mistaken to be stranger when she was came with Ivander.

Hector led the way to the top floor of the Stargazing building, where there was his private room, allowing him and Ivander to talk freely.

. . .

How amazed Eleanore was when she reached the top floor of the most luxurious building in Ziory. She couldn't help but glance at the luxurious interior of the room.

For a moment Eleanore forgot about Ivander's annoying existence and adored at the luxury that spread around her at this moment.

Eleanore's silly thoughts disappeared when she heard Hector's voice speaking seriously to Ivander.

"Forgive me if I am bold. But, Ivan, why did you come out of the sacred mountain? You know what will happen to you if you force yourself to get out of there." Hector frowned seriously as he discussed this serious matter with Ivander.

"What do you mean by why? Of course it's because I'm tired of sitting around in that damn mountain! After all, I've taken an oath with this girl," said Ivander, pointing at Eleanore who was stupidly sitting next to Ivander.

"Ahh, sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm Eleanor." Eleanore with the fluster and nervousness that suddenly approached her introduced herself to Hector.

"You're with this girl, Ivan?" Hector's brow folded even more when he realized that the girl he had been observing earlier was in fact with Ivan and moreover as someone who was bound by an oath to Ivan, his master.

"Yeah, she got me off that damn mountain." Ivander answered while shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

Eleanore was instantly silent when she was ignored by Hector, all Eleanore could do now was observe what these two people were talking about.

While listening to the conversation between Ivander and Hector, Eleanore wondered about this Hector Will. How could this man be friends with Ivander who was aged over two thousand years old, "Ohh, no! Is he a vampire too?!" Eleanore guessed in her mind full of surprise.

"You really have gone mad! You don't intend to live anymore, huh?" Hector's face had turned horrifying as he spoke to Ivander like that.

"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about, Hector," Ivander replied in a deep voice, his eyes already sparkling red, though his eyes hadn't completely changed.

Eleanore could see a black glint in Hector's brown eyes, it seemed what Eleanore had guessed was true. At this moment the atmosphere in Hector's private room grew cold and tense as the two men stared intently at each other.

It felt as if you froze at the heavy atmosphere created by Ivander and Hector, Eleanore felt like hitting these two men in the head for causing the situation to become as extreme as it is now.

Finally, Ivander let out a sigh and severed his deadly gaze on Hector. "I will explain it to you one day. There's something I want you to do for me," said Ivander finally relented and went back to talking about his purpose to meet Hector today.
