REST THE MIND

"Dylan, why are you in a bad mood today? You didn't even do the work." Jack started nagging while leaning his body on the car when he saw his friend's face which was always sour. While he is the one who worked hard and moved in the heat here and there to complete their work.

Ryan, who knows the behavior of his two friends is just waiting for the next scene that he knows will happen while smiling. He is a quiet person anyway. So as long as the quarrel between the two did not continue further, he would not occasionally interfere.

"You already know why so you don't have to ask." In a cold tone, Dylan said that.

"Don't get mad Dylan. After all, this job isn't hard. We're done already. " Ryan tried to persuade.

"Yeah, I already gave the last flight tickets to the two female students. So, we can hurry away now." Not wanting to raise the blood of his friend who is angry there, Jack decides not to mock Dylan any further. Even though he likes to play around each time his friend becomes like this.

Dylan sighed deeply. Today, which is supposed to be his perfect day is ruined when his father, which is also his boss at their company asks him to distribute 50 plane tickets at this university to Destiny Island, an island newly opened to the public which is a collaboration between their company and management there.

Destiny island is not like any other island. It has its own rules and way of managing it. Like a small country managed by its superiors. But it's not important at all. What is important is, that they just got a big deal to build a high-cost house there which will bring a high return to their company. Because of that, they now have to work hard to sponsor some people to go there for the promotion of the island.

But Dylan didn't like it at all. All he knew was that his father was looking for a fight with him. Today is supposed to be a holiday!

"I know he's trying to impose on me. Not once or twice did he tell us to do this kind of work. It's like there's no one else. " Dylan began to express his dissatisfaction.

Jack and Ryan started looking at each other. They already know enough that Dylan and his father have never had a good relationship. So, when something like this happens, they also don't know what to do other than try hard to change the mood.

"Hey, Dylan. Just forget what happened. It's not like this job is hard. We're already finished anyway. So now, let's just have some fun okay? " Jack is trying hard as always.

"He is right Dylan. Let's just go now. " Ryan also agreed.

"I know it's not a big deal, but he's always like that. He already knows I am looking forward to today, but he still gives last-minute work. Useless work as usual. " Dylan is still not satisfied. He already misses his chance to meet someone that he wanted to meet anyway.

"Tch~ I know you are angry as you can't see Sophie today. But what we can do, is she is a flight attendant, which is too busy all the time. I hope she still remembers us as her best friend." Jack said as he remembered the girl's face mentioned.

The three of them, plus Sophie are best friends since they studied at university and are still in a good relationship to this day even though each has their own life and career. Also, all of them know that Dylan has had a crush on her for so long, but Sophie never once said anything regarding that, and she also did not refuse him. Which makes Dylan feel like he still has a chance to this day.

Ryan just smiled, listening to Jack's words before he changed their topic.

"So, are you going to go to Destiny Island next week with us? You objected to your father for so long and refused it before. Do you want to leave the two of us alone there to monitor the big project? " Ryan asked Dylan. There was a slight tone of frustration there.

"You better go, Dylan. This is your project, to begin with. We just help you a little. After all, you can rest your mind, there after work. Not that we work 24 hours anyway. Let's just have some fun later on. " Jack suddenly got excited.

Dylan, who has improved his mood finally smirks.

"I'm going. I deliberately want the old man to be worried about my decision. Besides, I wouldn't want to let just the two of you have fun, right?"

"That's more sounds like you." Ryan can't believe that he just fell into his friend's trap.

"Get in. I don't want to be here for long. " Dylan directed as he closed the door of his fancy car.

"I can't believe this!"

Zara started screaming as she looked at the plane ticket that was in her hand at the time while the other hand greedily ate their favorite dumpling soup. Eva was only able to shake her head at her friend's behavior.

"Just keep the ticket well or it will be damaged by food later." Eva began to remind.

She is just as excited as her best friend, but she still can behave normally. Both of them tried very hard to purchase the ticket when it was announced that the new island that will take the 10-hour flight from their country is open for visitors, but sadly the tickets are sold out fast and now suddenly both of them get the ticket for free! What a blessing!

Listening well to her best friend, Zara began to put the ticket back in her bag. Fear if it's lost, and worst is broken as Eva says.

"Say now, my lady boss. Does this mean our holiday will be extended? " Zara started asking with her mischievous-looking face.

No one besides them knows that Eva is a rising boutique entrepreneur and Zara works under her. Both of them worked while studying before and now after they graduate, their focus is growing.

The boutique belonged to Eva's mother and was inherited by her as soon as her mother decide to retire from the field. Eva took over the boutique and made it more famous, especially in online marketing.

They are also very famous for providing dresses, especially on sponsorship in leading movies and dramas, and also famous stars. They have also been featured on television and in well-known magazines about fashion. And at that kind of time, Eva will be wearing a wig and doing some makeup on her face so that her real identity will not be known to the public. She still loves her freedom that is why she did that. As Eva is someone that is down to earth she never discloses this to anyone even to her enemy, Melissa.

"Of course, it's been a long time since we've both been on vacation. I'll leave everything to the manager to handle about the boutique." Eva said in excitement.

"Yes! Destiny Island, here we come!" Zara cannot hide her pleasure.
