“But I still don’t agree with your idea?”

“In that case, did you have any other solution?”

“…”

Dirga could not give any answer. Because he was aware that Oscar’s recent attitude was not up to Cleo’s expectations.

Dirga sighed. He hoped there would be no problems during the picnic. The new panic actually came from the other people. Not from an Oscar and Cleo outing. But another woman. The woman who claimed to know Oscar. And confused to death why he looked so different.

They met accidentally in the lobby of Harry’s office. It was not in a cafe or other public space. But it was in Harry’s office.

Bruck!

Oscar accidentally bumped into a woman when Dirga took him out to eat together. A pretty woman with a sharp chin and visible dimples. The woman was wearing a nude coat and high-waist pants and brown boots.

Her appearance was so relaxed that it did not match the appearance of the employees. Dirga guessed that that woman just was a guest. Or an acquaintance of one of the employees. Oscar tried to cover his face when he accidentally saw them passing each other.

“Ouch!”

He made a loud noise at a very low volume. He also tried to cover his body next to Dirga. The man who didn’t know what the situation was, became confused.

“What is it, Sir? Why are you covering your face and seeming to be avoiding something?”

Oscar’s sharp gaze pierced Dirga. He was upset because Dirga was not responsive enough to read their current situation. Even though he had given him a hard code.

Vebby looked annoyed after being bumped. She grumbled wildly and patted her coat.

“One should act properly while he was walking! Why did you run into me without using both eyes?”

Vebby’s excitement hasn’t changed much. Oscar had expected that the woman with curly brown bob hair would grumble sharply.

Oscar decided to run quickly away.

“Forgive me. And be careful next time!”

Vebby held Oscar’s shirt collar who was about to escape.

“Where are you going? I sure recognize you! Are you trying to cover yourself up for fear that I might see your face?”

Oscar hissed.

It would be very dangerous if Vebby saw his face. He was still trying to block Vebby’s eyes.

“I’m in a hurry and don’t talk no-nos. I’m not trying to avoid you. I am also a busy person.”

Vebby did not let go of her grip.

“No! I’m sure I know you. What more after hearing your voice!”

Oscar pursed his lips. He subconsciously used his real voice. He then changed his tone to Harry’s.

“You heard it, right? Is my voice similar to someone else’s?”

Oscar pretended to be offended. He pulled Dirga to dispel Vebby from approaching him. Dirga was overwhelmed.

“Impossible. I can’t be wrong. Are you Oscar? But, what are you doing here? And what’s with your clothes? Are you an office worker from now on? The job that you hated the most? Because you never liked their tight time, is it true?”

Oscar didn’t shut up anymore after being found out. He greeted Vebby openly while acting cool again.

“Hi! Nice to see you here. But, what are you doing in this town?”

Oscar glanced here and there. He found Vebby came alone. He didn’t like this fact enough.

“I should be the one asking you, Oscar! What are you doing here? Then, are you right now an office worker?”

Vebby repeated her previous question. Oscar glanced at Dirga.

“Um… that’s how it is. As you can see. He is my co-worker. And we’re going out for lunch!”

Oscar tried to code Dirga to help him. He also put his arm around Dirga’s shoulder to make him look chummy. Dirga actually felt his neck strangled.

“Ah!! T-that’s right, Miss. W-we will go out to eat together. Then, meet with a client. We can’t invite you even if we want to.”

Oscar flashed a smile. He liked this collaboration. Vebby did not give them relief for a long time.

“Is that so? But, why did you move to this city? How is your villa in B town? Are you have a plan to leave it and change your profession?”

Vebby continued to tug at Oscar’s shirt collar and didn’t let him get away.

“Besides that, does Bella know you’re here?”

Dirga screeched. He recognized the name. He stared intently at Oscar. High blood pressure suddenly hit Oscar. He felt his head spinning violently. His hands were also shaking violently.

“Bella? Did she come with you into here?”

Oscar was absolutely sure they had no distant relatives in this town. But what were they doing here when the things should still be safe? And no one knows what he’s doing here.

“Yes. I came with Bella. We entered the acrobatics competition together. She’s on business nearby. We ended up separating because I wanted to meet John.”

Oscar moved his eyeballs in a huff.

“John? Who’s that? And why are you looking for him here?”

“John is one of the workers on the second floor of this office. He’s in the marketing department. I met him through social media. We went on a blind date and ended up dating after finding many matches.”

Vebby suddenly became shy.

Oscar was starting to get scared.

“Ah, I see. But I can’t talk to you for long, Vebb. I have to go out now with Dirga. He was one of the busiest people in the office. I can’t take more time than this. I’ll probably call Bella next time if I have the chance.”

Oscar put on a pitiful face.

“But, may I ask you for something?”

Vebby listened seriously because she thought it wouldn’t hurt if she helped as long as it wasn’t difficult.

“Please! Don’t tell Bella that I’m here! I don’t want her to ask over questions. Then, in the end, she misunderstood. You know what it’s like! That’s also why we often quarrel. She finally decided to keep her distance. We are still in an unpleasant situation.”

Oscar hastily pulled Dirga away.

“Therefore, I believe in you! Be a smart girl, okay! Then, I pray that your relationship will be smooth!!”

Oscar and Dirga used a thousand steps to escape from Vebby.

Dirga was still controlling his breath when they were in the parking lot. Oscar looked uncomfortable. He repeatedly looked around and made sure everything was safe. He didn’t want Bella to suddenly appear.

Dirga looked straight at Oscar after he felt much better. Opened the door for Oscar. Then, drove. Dirga glanced in the rearview mirror after they had managed to get calm.

“What is this, Mr. Oscar? Can you explain well what just happened?”

Oscar muttered anxiously.

“This is a serious problem, Dirga. Bella is in this town. We might meet by accident. Then, compared to all other places in this city. Why does Vebby’s boyfriend have to work at Harry’s company? What if suddenly they were talking about Harry? John suddenly showed Harry’s photo to Vebby. Vebby recognized Harry as Oscar? The whole thing will get worse!”

Dirga stepped on the brake pedal. Looked back to see Oscar. And be so surprised.
