THE PLATONIC LOVE

Tristan glanced at Shizuko who look out of the window. She kept her eyes on the outside. The whole ride has been 15 minutes and the whole 15 minutes has been filled with nothing but silence. “I am sorry” he finally strike up a small conversation.

1 minute

2 minutes

No answer from her as her body stiffened the whole time until they finally arrive infront of his house as he turned the engine off. They got off the car, but Shizuko wait until he walk first as he knows she is insisting to not walk next to him. He lets her be, making his way toward the lift. Once the door open he stepped in with her as she hugged her bag close to her body.

“Why did you do that?” she suddenly spoke up, finally. After almost an hour she refused to talk. Tristan turned to take a look at her face quietly as a sense of guilt start to eat him up. Right, It was his very own idea as well to start all these things up first. And the one who had to face the consequences was not him but her. He thoughts maybe this can make everything right if he takes full responsibility.

“I'm sorry i was not thinking twice about it.” he said quietly before walking out from the lift toward his unit followed by the woman behind him. “I promise I'm going to take full responsibility for your dismissal.”

She only kept quiet before Tristan enter his apartment followed by Shizuko. She would look around staring at the big house in amazed. High ceiling and two storey apartment the whole place just look fancy especially when most of the things are in black and brown colour. The masculine smell is so strong but she likes the smell alot. Comfortable and smell just like home.

“come I'll show you your room” Tristan offered before she walked toward him quietly before he opened one of the room's door for her. It's big. Literally big that she gasped out. “It's way too big—”

“I don't have maid's room. You can stay here” he said before entering the room and look around “I have always make sure the room to stay clean and not dusty the last time i clean the room up was week ago. So if you think it's dusty—”

“no, it's alright i can take it from here thankyou mr Tristan” Shizuko bowed down a bit as she look up at the male before smiling a bit. Tristan nod his head before walking out from the room before turning back to look at the tiny figure who's backfacing her as she look around the room quietly

“If you need anything just call me” Tristan told her before she turned around and thanks him quietly before he closed the door. He lets out sigh. He never bring any women to his house. What to expect? For the past 3 years he never go on any dates or club. All he did was staying inside his office to do the works that is never finished.
