Chapter 23：I am Home (1/2)
”I'll go first!” said Carolina when she finished her meal. She didn't even wait for her friends' response and headed straight back to the room.
After finding out that Andrew had done that to her, Carolina felt sick of sitting around with him for a long time, moreover, she had to keep smiling to maintain the image she had created during college.
A woman who is always smiling, kind, and never angry.
Carolina actually felt tired, but she was afraid that the same incident would happen again.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who had been watching the woman, could only smile.
”Looks like she can't stand it anymore,” Ethan thought.
20 minutes! The woman held it for 20 minutes!
”Mr. Ethan,” called Agung suddenly. Ethan, who was deep in thought, turned his head.
”After this, Mr. Ethan want to take a walk or go back to the room?” asked Agung. If the boss wanted to go out, he had already prepared a trip that might suit the boy's tastes.
”We're not going straight to the airport, are we?” Ethan asked.
”Ehem, at that time I told you that our flight to Jakarta will be 7 pm,” said Agung, who deliberately arranged the flight like that because he thought his boss wanted to travel in Bali before finally returning home.
”I don't need to travel. Just go forward the flight, look for the one before 12 noon so that we don't get charged when we check out of the hotel.”
” O-OK Mr. Ethan, I'll do it soon,” said Agung.
”Will I be judged incompetent, huh? I hope not!” thought Agung and immediately searched for the fastest flight.
”Mr. Ethan, I have advanced the flight to 11:30,” said Agung.
”Okay, then I'll wait for you in 30 minutes in the lobby,!” said Ethan after looking at the clock on his cellphone screen.

”Hey! Have you been back?” said Dion when Carolina entered the hotel room.
”Ah, no! It's just me, the others are still eating,” said Carolina and immediately fell on the bed.
”Are you alright?” asked Dion.
”Hah? Yes, I'm fine! Why?” asked Carolina with a smile.
Dion just shook his head and continued wearing his watch.
”Oh yeah Di, I'm sorry, but I think I'm too lazy for a walk, hehe.”
”Okay, just go rest, then,” said Dion with a smile before finally leaving the room. He doesn't know what happened to the woman last night, but he hopes Carolina just needs rest because she didn't sleep on the bed.
”Thanks,” said Carolina and began to close her eyes.

”Hmm… the documents are done, the dirty clothes are done, I think that's all. Oh yeah, what about that woman's necklace?” thought Ethan as he was tidying his things.
”Maybe I'll just bring it? Besides, I still wonder who she is. It's clear that she's not a female escort, she doesn't seem like a fan of mine either. Did she just happen to walk into my room, huh?”
”I'll just bring it. If indeed we are destined to meet, we will definitely meet again!” Ethan finally said before deciding to put the necklace in the bag he was carrying.
***.
Carolina tried to find a comfortable sleeping position, but no matter how she tried to fall asleep, she still couldn't sleep.
She didn't think Andrew would put drugs in her drink. If she doesn't go into the other room, Andrew might just steal her first experience.
”Sigh ... I don't know anymore, should I be grateful or not for doing it with that red apple, but I think he's playing pretty rough, here is my neck until there is a mark like this,” Carolina thought, then fumbling for the marks left by Ethan. on her neck. There were a few other marks that Ethan had left on her body too, but Carolina was able to cover them up, the problem right now was the one on her neck!
”Ne-Necklace! Where is my necklace!” Carolina suddenly panicked when she couldn't feel the necklace she was wearing. She still remembers that she wore the necklace in the shower this morning.
”D*mn it! I left it in the sink in the red apple's room! Hopefully, he's still in his room!” Carolina immediately got up and came out of the room.
If it weren't for the necklace her dad gave her, Carolina probably wouldn't have bothered to meet up that red apple.
