«Serkan» she called him at first, but then realized that was a bad idea. After all, she knew absolutely nothing about his memory.
«Are you talking with me?» He knew his name, of course, but he had no idea why this pretty brunette would be addressing him. «Do I know you?»
«Yes, with you. We were acquainted, but I see you still don't remember that». She paused for a moment, gazing into his changed in two years features. «I'm sorry. My name is Eda» she held out her hand.
«It's nice to meet you again, Eda» her name out of his mouth gave her goosebumps. «And how do we know each other, Eda?»
«We used to work together. But it doesn't matter, since you don't remember me, I won't keep you» she was about to turn around and leave, but he wouldn't let her.
«Wait. I'm here with my team, you might want to say hello to them too, since we know each other from work» Serkan suggested. He didn't know why he wanted to keep this girl.
«My resignation didn't go well, so I don't think I should. And not everyone from your team will be happy to see me» she was about to leave again, because talking to him like that was still painful.
«Why did you quit? And who exactly wouldn't want to see you?»
«Do you know it's like an interrogation?» laughed the girl.
«You know you doomed yourself when you called me out».
«The reason for my resignation is personal» Eda evaded the answer. «And seeing me won't make your girlfriend or maybe already your wife, I don't know, happy».
«Seline?» Eda nodded. «She's not with us. We're having dinner over there, come on.»
«Eda? Is that really you?» Pyryl was the first to notice her and immediately hug her.
«You look incredible» said Engin, hugging the girl tighter.
«You haven't mentioned you were going to Turkey» Ceren hugged her favorite friend tightly.
«You haven't mentioned you were on a corporate vacation either» Eda smiled at her.
«Leila» Eda rushed to hug her longtime mentor and colleague.
«Eda, I don't believe it's really you» Leila accepted her hug.
«Ferit, the hotel is still beautiful, but you never tackled that area in the back, and it's been so many years» Eda slightly rebuked her friend, also hugging her.
« You haven't done the design, so it's still empty» Ferit laughed. «I'm so happy to see you».
«So you all know each other and are very good friends?» Serkan clarified when the wave of hugs stopped.
«We got along well when I worked at Artlife. I brought Ceren there, so to speak. When I left, I lost the contact with everyone except Cer. She and I are old friends».
«Eda, I hope you're having dinner with us» Pyryl asserted rather than asked.
«If it's okay for Serkan» the girl shrugged, not sure if that was a good idea.
«I don't mind» Serkan replied, moving another chair over to their table so that Eda had a place to sit.
«Chairs are still your thing» the girl grinned. «Thank you».
The waiter brought them a menu, and while they were studying it, Eda confidently ordered her favorite potatoes, noticing the surprise in Serkan's gaze.
«And what brought you to Antalya? Work again?» Eda asked when they were done with the orders.
«No. Engin decided that all of us, and Serkan in particular, should spend some time outside and have a rest» Pyryl began.
