"How are you, precious's pet? Didn't you come with precious today? You're always together. " Said Sulaimon trying to greet with a familiar tone and that feels awkward for Alex
Alex could only smile awkwardly in response to Suliamon's words. Alex tried not to respond too much to Sulaimon even tried to slowly stay away. But Sulaimon instead embraced it as if he didn't want to let it loose.
"I heard you are already the manager at AD Group, you didn't intend to register for insurance? You're successful now so help this friend of yours. We are good friends in high school, so sign the insurance contract with me. " Sulaimon said with an intimidating look
Although alex did not want to sign an insurance contract, in the end he signed 7 insurance contracts from Sulaimon . Even if forced to, but Alex still did it because he was sorry for Sulaimon who worked as an insurance salesman. Alex also heard Sulaimon’s complaints that his boss always scolded for selling his insurance under the target.
It's quite tragic how the wheel of life rotates. Sulaimon who used to always command others now instead asks for help from people who he used to take for granted. This is why we should not look down on others because no one knows how the future will happen.

Time continued to roll and one by one people left the event. Until finally everyone left and Alex was alone. Alex looked around the quiet and he stood with his head bowed. He realized Precious would not come and he felt sad because his hopes had vanished.
With heavy steps he walked toward the exit, but who would have thought the person he was waiting for finally came. Precious came wearing a navy blue jeans and a white T-shirt wrapped in a navy blue jacket and a white baseball cap adorned her head.
Their eyes met for a moment, but precious walked past Alex and sat in one of the chairs without saying anything. Alex who could not control himself began to feel nervous and could only stand still while watching precious who was sitting. It seemed Alex did not believe he would meet Precious but he was too nervous to say anything.
"Can you please get me Champagne?" said precious as if ordering a servant
Alex who used to be a waitress precious immediately opened a Champagne bottle and poured it into precious's glass. Alex also stands next to precious like a waiter who is ready to pour back Champagne for precious whenever the glass is empty.
After a few glasses of Champagne he drank, precious stood up and looked at Alex. This made Alex feel very nervous. It felt as if his heart would burst because precious stared at him for a long time.
"I want to see the sea." Said precious
Alex who was very nervous and did not know what to say in the end could only be silent. Precious did not get a response from Alex, she immediately looked away and walked out of the restaurant.
Alex who finally realized he had lost the opportunity before his eyes, immediately ran after Precious. He couldn’t catch up with her Until in front of the restaurant, he held precious by holding her hand.
"Come on, let's see the sea together." Alex said haltingly
***
Alex drives his car and takes Precious to the nearest beach. Precious also sat on the beach while staring at the dark sea in the middle of the night. She closed her eyes and tears began to flow.
Seeing that made Alex realize that his angel was having problems. But Alex does not have the courage to ask. He could only stand there while watching Precious.
"Sit next to me, I'm in need of a shoulder to lean on." Said Precious
And like an obedient servant Alex obeyed precious and sat next to the flowers just beside precious, Precious immediately leaned her head against alex's shoulder. The cold sea air hits those who are sitting still on the beach. Alex didn't ask anything even though he was actually very curious.
"Don't you want to ask why I invited you here?" asked precious
"You can tell stories if you want, I won't force you to tell stories if you don't want to." Alex said, making precious smile slightly
"You haven't changed at all you use to accompany me like this without asking anything. "
They both returned to remembering the past memories. When Precious just broke up with the boyfriend she was dating in high school. Alex will always accompany her to the beach at night. Following precious down the beach at night without saying anything. Even when Precious parents had a big fight which made precious extremely sad. Alex will accompany her to sit on the beach and listen to all her complaints.

Precious then raised her head and look closely at Alex. Alex remain silent but his heart skipped a beat again. Then slowly precious approaches Alex, closer and closer the two eyes were widely open and didn’t blink for a seconds and Alex was so tensed finally precious started kissing Alex, it took longer than anyone could expect .
Precious sudden kiss made Alex unable to resist and drifted inside. Alex did not think he would be able to kiss precious not even in this life time talk less of the beach with the beautiful night view. Moreover, the sea breeze makes the kiss feel more romantic and makes his heartbeat faster. Even his face got hot and his cheeks turned red.
Precious stopped kissing him then they looked at each other for a long time. Their cheeks flushed and because they felt ashamed they both look away from each other. Both of them held their lips with surprised faces. As if the kiss was unexpected event and also hard to believe.

Morning sunlight penetrates the white curtain covering the window in the 5th floor apartment where Alex lives alone. The sunlight that greeted his eyes and the sound of the alarm that echoed made Alex wake up from a deep sleep. Alex opened his eyes and turned off the alarm. Then he stood and looked at the mirror while holding his lips.
The memories of last night still filled his mind. Memories of his first kiss with precious at the beach. Even his cheeks are still flushed and his heartbeats whenever he thinks about it. He is In a good and very happy mood, He decides to set a romantic song in his room as he prepares to go to work.
At breakfast, Alex smiled broadly as if he ate the most delicious food in the world even though he only ate peanut butter sandwiches and a cup of coffee. All because Alex couldn't stop thinking about his kiss with precious last night.
Even when he arrived at the office, Alex continued to hum and smile broadly at everyone. And makes everyone wonder what good things have made their manager's mood very good.
While in his room with documents piled up as usual, Alex kept working on it while smiling. Even if someone threw a basketball at him he would still smile like a fool.
Until the phone rang, Alex put down the pen and closed the document he was working on for a moment. picks up the phone which turns out to be from the Director of his company.

Edward also took the package held byPrecious. Although they feel very awkward, both Edward andPrecioustry to be as normal as possible. After taking the package Edward went into the house to put the package in his room. So there are only Alice andPreciousboth in front of the house.

Until one day, Alice secretly visited Edward's apartment to surprise him on their anniversary day. But as
Alexthought about his friend's advice.Preciouswho he knows is a person who doesn't like to tell her personal problems even though she often expresses her feelings.Preciousis also a person who likes to keep all her problems to herself, maybe she's just a stubborn person and thinks she can do it all by herself or maybe she doesn't know how to ask for help. That's why what Robert said feels right. After office hours are over and everyone starts returning to their respective homes.Alexstood by his car waiting forPreciousto get out of the office.
