Chapter 206 - 206 ( Like A Couple )
In the corner of another place some time ago.
Steylla looked at Reihan with a strange look. Suddenly felt her heart skip a beat as Reihan pulled her hand away to went. Old memories that had been buried, revived. It wasn\'t intentional and it just happened. But, Steylla chose silence to overcome her feelings.
"Where do you want to go? Where\'s the appointment?" Reihan opened the door of his SUV car for Steylla.
"I have an appointment with a client at a restaurant. Their company wanted to use my services to advertise their products. I was just on a whim to try this job. We will meet at hotel xx,"
Reihan immediately nodded in understanding and took Steylla into his car. But Steylla was still reluctant to move forward.
So Reihan asked again.
"Won\'t come in and let my hands hurt?"
Steylla finally gave in and complied. Get into the car obediently and fasten the seatbelt. Reihan gave his simple advice.
"Don\'t be too tense and relax. We are not heading to the abyss. And no dangerous accidents will happen as long as I drive."
Stella just smiled faintly.
Planned not to chat much with Reihan. But the man somehow started to keep talking to her.
"You plan to become a product ambassador?" asked Reihan on the sidelines of his time listening carefully to the story from Steylla\'s mouth.
The little girl in his past. And now she had a completely different look and it was still surprised him.
Steylla replied curtly, "Yes."
Reihan glanced at her.
"Are you nervous about something?" Reihan asked not seriously. But the question created a new tension in Steylla\'s face.
Not just because of the question, indeed. But because of the sudden surge that attacked them. After Reihan\'s car wheel stumbled something.
Forcing two of them to be spontaneously stunned and almost thrown forward if only Reihan didn\'t act alert by holding Steylla\'s body.
Reihan feels guilty.
"Forgive me. I pay little attention to the streets. And I wish you well."
They finally arrived at their destination. Dropped Steylla in front of a restaurant and letting her go. However, Reihan seemed dissatisfied if he had to leave Steylla just like that.
"Steylla!! Wait!!"
Steylla turned around.
"What\'s up?" she asked with a serious look.
Reihan left a message for her.
"I will wait for you here. Don\'t escape using the back door nor other and make me being moldy."
Stella smiled faintly.
Dashed away without saying anything. Reihan was unmoved. Just thinking alone and guessing. He muttered.
"So, what kind of her smile means? And why didn\'t she answer my offer?"
Reihan shook his head. Making a decision will still waiting and be patient. Reihan also observed traces of Steylla\'s departure in silence.

Inside the restaurant.
Steylla was busy discussing with her transaction partner when her focus was divided on Reihan\'s presence outside the restaurant waiting for her, with the use-value she could get if she accepted the contract in front of her eyes.
Steylla had even done something she didn\'t expect. Hastily completed the transaction with the interlocutor. Then she jogged after the door of the black SUV that still faithfully parked his car in front of the restaurant she was there.
She tapped softly.
Knock-knock!
Knocked on the side window of Reihan\'s car and waited for the window to be opened. Steylla couldn\'t describe how satisfied she felt when she saw Reihan was still there and waiting for her.
Reihan lowered his car window and smiled.
"Your business was done? And I didn\'t think it would be this soon?"
Stella just made a smile faintly. Got into Reihan\'s car again when the lock has been opened. Reihan offered her a new alternative.
"Are you hungry and want to eat somewhere?"
Steylla considered.
"Okay. Then, take this as thanks to you for giving me a ride."
Reihan then invited Steylla to go to his favorite restaurant. The restaurant was by the beach and the location was not too far from their last position.
They had a simple conversation.
"You come here often?"
Reihan nodded faintly.
"Yes. I come here often because the atmosphere and the food are high-grade."
Reihan used his gentle for exchanged the steak that he ordered and he had cut it into smaller sizes with Steylla\'s mine, which happened to have chosen the same steak menu as him. Based on Reihan\'s recommendation result.
"You shouldn\'t have to do this," Steylla said in seriousness.
The atmosphere around them that day was strange because they looked like a real couple. But, it would be even weirder if they didn\'t actually have any kind of relationship. Steylla instead thought recklessly.
Steylla lowered her head for hiding her confusion.
"I\'m worried about your drastic weight loss. So, have you been on a strict diet all this time?"
Steylla checked her body size.
"Am I too skinny and unattractive?" she asked in surprise as she had thought that her current appearance was her best. Well then, let\'s forget how she looked before!
Steylla gave some logical reasons.
"Er, I have to keep my body like this or better if I want to stay getting a job."
Reihan glanced at her.
"You have received the contract just now?"
"More or less. But I still ask for time to consider it and reread the entire contents of their contract," Steylla immediately complained when she saw something was imprecise, "Hey! Why do you keep adding pieces of meat on my plate?"
This objection received a relaxed response from Reihan.
"For health and a little fat is not bad."
Steylla looking for the truth of Reihan\'s words. She knew Reihan just wanted to be gentle. Showed his concern as a friend of her brother towards the younger sister of his best friend.
Reihan asked a surprising question.
"And then, may I ask you something serious?"
Their eyes met each other. And Reihan continued his interrogation without waiting for an answer from Steylla.
"Do you really have a boyfriend?"
Stella blinked. Of the many questions, Reihan could ask her. Why did he have to ask that question?!
"I just want to know if what they said is true. Do you have a boyfriend nor not?"
The bracelet he had given her flashed in his head again.
"If so, why do you still keep my bracelet? And was it true that you still found it difficult to removed your feelings for me till now?"
Steylla was at a loss for words. Didn\'t know how to refute the accusation. And didn\'t sure Reihan could be tricked by her on well. Steylla felt a raging feeling. She then smiled faintly.
"That\'s how it is. I do have a boyfriend and my feelings for you have long since disappeared."
Reihan took out something from his shirt pocket. A brown envelope that he had kept for a long time. Reihan tapped his finger on that envelope.
"Is that so?"
Steylla looked at him with a strange gaze. But still haven\'t said anything.
"In that case, may I know what his name was?" asked Reihan with dark eyes.
An answer sentence was containing a name, of course, would be made him felt uncomfortable. But, Reihan still wanted to hear it in personality.
