Chapter 15：Troubled Vera (1/2)

”Hey,” said Andrew when Riko came over to his desk.

”Yo,” said Riko stretching out his hand, inviting Andrew to do a high five. Before finally sitting in front of Andrew.

”Are you alone? Where's Clara?” asked Andrew who only saw Riko alone.

”In a little more she said she will follow. That kid still wants to play in the water,” said Riko.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again.

”Looks like it didn't work, huh? Or you do not ask again?” asked Riko suddenly.

Andrew is close to Riko and Dion, but because Dion seems to be interested in Carolina too. He never talked about it. But one day when he and Riko were hanging out and drinking because Dion couldn't come. He accidentally talked about it with Riko.

”I did. But it didn't work. Hah! Never mind! Later tonight I can drink to till I pass out!” said Andrew who looked better.

The important thing is he has already expressed his feelings! No more regrets!

”Yes, cheer up! You still have us! Maybe Carol has a reason. You know, she is very mysterious,” said Riko trying to cheer him up. Andrew only smiled when hearing it.

”How about you? I'm paying attention you seem to be closer to Clara,” Andrew asked back. Riko had never told him that there was something he with Clara, and Andrew suddenly wondered what really happened to the two of them.

”Like usual! She's still busy with her plastics, while I'm busy with my own world,” said Riko.

Andrew only nodded when he heard that. Throughout his acquaintance with Riko, the man was always honest with what he said and never tried to be shy about his feelings.

So Andrew is sure that Riko really doesn't have feelings for Clara, or maybe he hasn't realized it yet.

”Then I'll go back to the hotel first!” said Andrew after finishing the food and drink he ordered then headed to call the waiter to pay for the food.

Riko who was playing with his cell phone nodded. He also decided to order a drink when the waiter called by Andrew arrived.

Before parting with Clara, he had already told the woman that he would be waiting for her here. If he just sat there without ordering anything, it is embarrassing!

”Ahh, finally arrived,” thought Carolina who threw herself on the hotel bed.

Today was long for her, starting from Andrew's confession and the treatment of the two men who catcalled her. But she had no regrets at all, if she just stayed at the boarding house, maybe she wouldn't have had an experience like this.

Knock… Knock…

Just as Carolina was about to close her eyes, there was a knock from the hotel room door.

She opened it and found Vera standing at the door.

Carolina said nothing. She immediately goes back to the bedroom and fell back into the hotel bed.

”Where is everyone?” Vera asked, seeing that only Carolina was in the room.

”Dion is still not back, the others are still on the beach,” replied Carolina then took out her cell phone to read the manga as usual.

”Ohh, how come you are here? Looks like new clothes, huh?” Vera asked after noticing Carolina's appearance.

”I went back first because I wanted to go to the toilet,” said Carolina without looking at Vera.

Isnt she not like me? Why is she asking so many questions now? thought Carolina.

”Ohh.” said Vera who then lay down on the hotel bed. Due to the size of the bed, there is a lot of distance between Vera and Carolina.

Vera tried to find a position to sleep, but it seemed like something was bothering her so she couldn't sleep at all.

”Carol,” called Vera.

”Hm,” replied Carolina who was still busy with her cellphone.

”I want to ask you something, just now ...”

Knock ... Knock …

Before Vera finished her sentence, a knock was heard from outside the room.

Carolina and Vera exchanged glances before finally Vera decided to open the room.

”Hey On,” said Vera when she saw Dion who was at the door.
