Dave's voice never came out, making Alicia bored. Their poses caught Axel's attention looking at Alicia questioningly. Alicia pulled her hand that was still in Dave's grip. It was a waste, because Dave tightened his grip and had no intention of letting go.

"What!! do you have anything else to say!?" Alicia asked angrily with a little shout that invited pairs of eyes to look at them with a curious expression.

"Al" called Axel slowly wanting to approach them who were now starting to be noticed by the guests. Axel walk stopped looking at Alicia's hand which showed her palm meaning - don't come here I'll be right to your place.

Making Axel can only sigh, waiting for Alicia and himself to feel uncomfortable when many people stare at Alicia, especially them and himself alternately.

"Dave, for the second time I ask! Do you still have something to say!!" Alicia growled, looking back at Dave "Let go of my hand, we've become a spectacle here! Remember this is your engagement, you FUCK!!" Alicia said in a voice holding back the anger that only the two of them could hear.

Samantha noticed the stares of the guests, making herself walk quickly over to those who were in the spotlight. This spotlight also did not escape the parents. Especially Dave's parents, who stared at their son in horror, were confused by what their son was doing. Alicia's parents and Axel themselves looked worried that their child would not know what the reporters would talk about outside and write about.

A gentle touch on Dave's shoulder made him aware that he had only been fixated on seeing Alicia's face "Dave, what happened?" asked Samantha softly. Dave who heard his fiancé's voice was awakened by what happened and the spotlight he got from their current pose.

Axel, who saw Samantha coming there, made himself immediately step towards Alicia. Dave's hand loosened in Alicia's hand, making Alicia aware and immediately pulled her wrist free. Realizing Axel's arrival by his side, he immediately gave her a hug on the waist

"Thank you Mr. Dave for helping my fiancé who almost fell earlier," said Axel so as not to get strange news and various kinds of talk from the people present here.

Dave who realized his stupidity could only clear his throat. Samantha tried to recover from this tense situation "You're welcome, Axel, next time Alicia has to be more careful when you walk," said Samantha, her eyes looking at Alicia sharply. Realizing this uncomfortable situation "Yes, my apologies, thank you Dave" Alciia's cold words were felt in Axel's ears, including Dave who stiffened and stared at him in place.

"Please enjoy the show again" Samantha said as she took Dave's hand and took her away from there. Axel did the same thing, who immediately took Alicia to their parents' table.

As a result of the explanation given by Axel earlier, pairs of eyes understand what happened and don't pay too much attention to it. But there are some who still think there is something between them. This was also not spared from the reporters who had just received the big news that Alicia Jenna Maximo and Axel Gorgie Kannel were engaged. This could be big news that will take the world by storm after Dave and Samantha.

This long night, made Alicia more tired. He really wanted to go home and enter his room to climb into bed lay down his body and mind. William and Laura realized that their son's tired eyes gave Alicia a look "Are you tired dear?" Laura asked softly and got a nod from her son. "Or do you want to go home first with Axel?

Alicia felt bad for Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Elisa if she had to go home before the event was over. Moreover, having to bother his mother and Axel's mother made him feel uncomfortable twice as much. "It's okay Mom, we'll just go home together after this event is over." Alicia said to which her mother nodded in return - All right.

Kelly, who heard Alicia's answer, made herself even more eager to make Alicia her daughter-in-law. From a young age, he knew what kind of child Alicia was. Kind, friendly, polite, has great sympathy and empathy, never looks down on others, always thinks of others above himself. The perfect woman thought Kelly. It's only natural that Alicia is coveted by many men out there, including her children, because of her very beautiful personality. Except for a guy named Dave Emmanuel Dorney.

Axel looked at his mom and smiled back - Mom knows why I like her. There was one pair of eyes staring intently at Alicia. I don't know what he thinks. Tonight his mind is quite occupied by the figure of a woman who has always been the target of his nesting thoughts. Consciously or unconsciously.

Dave admitted that tonight Alicia looked very beautiful. Alicia's existence had started to bother him since they were small. Alicia, who always follows him everywhere and does strange things to get his attention. The emptiness felt even more during the peak where Alicia threw her first slap when they were in high school at that time. For Dave, it was the first slap he got from a woman and he could never forget either the slap or Alicia's words at that time.

Never thought that Alicia's words at that time were quite capable of influencing him until now. He didn't even take those words seriously until she disappeared and went away without showing her nose for years. Dave clearly knew the reason for Alicia's departure TOGETHER with Axel at that time. All because of him. Dave was lost in his own thoughts for almost the end of their engagement without making a sound to talk to business partners, parents or Samantha. This certainly invites the curiosity of people who see it.
