Wendy is waiting for cab to pick her up in front of their apartment. She will go out to meet with Jackson as they promised at the bookstore before. While waiting, she busy texting him but then she heard a car stop not far from her. It is Ayden car

"Babe, where are you going?" Ayden quickly asking

"I go out with my friend"

"Your friend?"

"Yup, my friend Jackson the one that I met at bookstore"

Ayden suddenly feel jealous "Shall I go with you?"

"No need, just go home and rest" said Wendy

"Let me drive you"

"I called a cab already so you don't have to" at the same time the cab arrived "My ride is here so you should go" she walk to the taxi leaving dumbfound Ayden

Ayden just watching the cab leaving with heavy sighs. He very sure with his own feels that he feel jealous because he don't like it when Wendy close to any guy. Even Wendy reject his confession but he still not gives up yet

"Ayden oppa" Seulgi voice greet him

"Hi Seulgi, Irene, where are you from?" Ayden smile shortly

"We're from supermarket, shopping groceries"

"Where is Wendy going just now?" Irene questioned curiously

"You two saw her?"

"Yup"

"She goes out to meet her friend"

"Her friend?" the idols are looking at each other "It's rare that Wendy go out to meet her friend on weekday. Usually they will hangout on weekend because her friends busy working. She just goes out with you all this while" Irene reasoned

"I thought I want to pick her up for dinner tonight but that guy take one step faster than me" Ayden said annoyingly

"She goes out with boy?" Seulgi ask shockingly and same goes to Irene

"Yes, is she doesn't have male friend?"

"No, she only has female friends. She doesn't have lot of friends here since she's from overseas. It's really rare that she have one except you and Eric oppa"

"Do you perhaps know his name?" Irene ask

"His name is Jackson"

"Jackson?"

"Yes"

"Is it Jackson Wang?"

Ayden shrugged his shoulder "I don't know"

Seulgi searching for something in her phone then show it to Ayden "Is it this guy?" she showed Jackson picture to him

"Yes, that's him"

"He is one of male idols. Aigooo, she was never going out with male idol before this. I can't believe this" Irene rubbing her temple

"Maybe she wants to open her heart for men. I also noticed that Jackson obviously looking at Seungwan when we're at same event" Seulgi said absentmindedly

Irene eyes widen when she saw Ayden reaction change after hear what Seulgi just said "Yah, don't say such thing here" she pinch Seulgi arm

Noticing she being outspoken at wrong timing, the bear quickly apologize "Oppa, I'm sorry. I don't mean to say that"

"It's okay, I'm fine with that...well, at least try to be fine. If seeing make him can make her happy, I will be happy too" Ayden sound really dejected

"Ayden, don't give up" Irene pats Ayden shoulder

"Thanks" Ayden smile shortly "I go home now. Goodnight both of you"

"Goodnight"

Few minutes later, Ayden arrive and everyone in the room stand up as sign of respect

"Good morning Mr. Samuel" Eric lead the greeting

"Good morning, have a sit" Ayden said in serious tone "Meeting start now"

"Okay" Eric clears his throat "I call for our meeting today to talk regarding our project. Few days ago, our Creative Director informed me that the recording was end successfully without any flaw. I on behalf of Sam Studio very impress by your hard work"

"Thanks Mr. Eric" Irene said

"You're welcome" Eric answered "Now our production team works on the next stage while you guys take a break for a while. They will call you again for another process and it may take 2 or 3 weeks from now. For time being, you all can take a break since our team will take time. Is it clear, managers?"

"Yes sir"

"That's all for the project. Next is our boss will talk about the reward" Eric statement make their lips curve upwards

Ayden sit straight and clasped his hands together "First of all, how was it working with our team? Is everything going well, girls and managers? This is first time I have meeting with you all so if you have any complains or request, you may say it direct to me. If our staff treat you all badly or the facilities is not enough, just spill it out"

"All is well, sir and your staff treat us very well" said the group leader

"Glad to hear that and managers?"

"We also enjoy working with the staff and thanks for providing lot of things for us and the girls" one of the managers said

"Good, I hope everyone have good relationship with each other. We're one team after all"

"Okay sir"

"I was informed that the recording session end well than expected and got lot of praises from the production team. I'm very happy hearing that news and I look forward for the best result" Ayden paused for a while "As stated at company policy, after done with big project the team will get reward so I announce that we will give you reward to pay for your hard work. We will send you girls and managers for vacation. The location is at Perth, Australia. The vacation will take place at the resort that owned by Platinum Tourism which is one of Platinum Group branch.

"Thank you very much for the reward"

"My pleasure" Ayden smile then he takes glance towards the girls. He can see clearly the girls grinning happily after hearing about their vacation.

For few seconds, his eyes stopped at the figure that he missed so much. Both of them haven't seen each other for days due to his hectic schedule and Wendy's as well. They just talk on the phone at night before sleep. Even his confession not going well, he still want to maintain good relationship with Wendy with hope she will open her heart for him. He never hate her for rejecting him

"Mr. Samuel, when is the flight?" Joy asked excitedly

"You all will go on next Monday"

"Okay"
