The question is still echoing inside my heart. How can he ask me a question that will lead my mind to think about love?
"Fate.....I can't decide that, And maybe, sometimes...umm...from one side, it's something bad that happens. But on the other side, maybe it can be a good thing. But, when I talk about destiny, I think it'll be always something good. Something good you never think it will happen, but it happens accidentally which then changes your life forever," I sigh
Grey is still looking at me deeply, and now, he smiles.
"Alright, your definition is acceptable. You look like a former language student. Did you study linguistics?"
"No....I just love reading books. But the definition always comes up to my mind and I find the definition in my life by myself."
"You look so good in studying words. I bet you're also good in studying love," he giggles
"No...I failed many times. But please don't ask me how many times I did," I grin.
"I will not ask you how many times you did, but.....just one thing....what kind of person do you wish to be yours forever?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'll find him in the middle of nowhere, or maybe the person is hanging out there in town and I never meet him. But the thing I'm sure is I think, I don't want to fall in love right now. It's tiring to love again and to be hurt again. That's all."
"You can never find love. The more you search for it, the more it runs away from you."
His last line strikes me on my face and once again, I can't say anything. I look at my watch and it's already 8:15 AM.
"Grey, it's 8:15AM, I think we should go to office."
"Oh really? Alright, do you like walking together in the morning?"
"Well, at least I have a person to walk with and today I didn't spill my coffee to his coat," I laugh
*walking together*
"Olivia, do you have any appointment tonight?"
"No. Why?"
"Would you like to watch movie and eat pizza together at my place?"
"That would be great! At least, I can still get my full salary and don't have to pay the pizza!" I laugh
"But maybe I'll ask you to clean the mess of our greed," he grins.
"And maybe I can work tomorrow at your place, cleaning all of your rooms and you have to give more money to me," I giggle
"Alright, see you tonight."
I don't say anything but I nod then smile. I walk to my desk and take a while to think that.....I think I run out of time. Today is the last day to find the guy, but I don't have any idea where he is. But I met another guy, Grey. It's so frustrating. Okay, I accept this fate. I will never wear any wedding dress in my life. Okay, fine. And now I befriend with my new manager, will watch movie together and poof! Everything will be the same, no guy forever, that's all.
