Ibrahim and Ardit's heated discussion

"Sir, Ardit has arrived," Su told Ibrahim.

"Bring them up," Ibrahim asks.

He had the studio prepared, all the clothes and designs were ready for inspection. But for the past few hours, Ibrahim was preparing himself. He didn't really like Ardit at all, but he had to respect him due to Ardit being superior to him. He was hoping that they could get this done quickly and never see each other again.

Never see each other again.

That thought was really painful to think about. Not because of Ardit but because of Ari. He kept thinking about her, how he made that promise to her. Was he even thinking at the time? Did he just say those words without realizing it? It was all hazy, that moment of their second encounter. All he remembered was her face, everything else was a blur.

"Sir," interrupted Su.

He snaps out of his trance, "Yes?"

"Ardit and company are here."

"Company?"
