Chapter 10: This Calms Me Down
The atmosphere of the press conference and the farewell of all the cast of the series starring Sam was lively. Yes, the teen romance series he played with Eunice has finished airing. Now is the time for Eunice and Sam's fans to match them up, asking them to pose for a romantic and seductive pose.
"It's so exhausting to have to pretend like this" Sam thought. Not to mention having a heart to guard, Hua Lu was already staring intently at the back of the reporters capturing all the moments.
"Okay, it's time for us to eat!!... The box of food is already on the table over there." shouted the director pointing to one of the tables where the boxes of food were piled up.
"Yeeeah. Finally, I'm so hungry!!! What are we eating today??" Sam asked excitedly. Feeling no one answered, Sam went straight to where the food was, not forgetting to grab Hua Lu's hand to invite her to eat too. Sam gave one box and took one for himself.
"Wow Sushi..!!" Hua Lu said. "Oh??" Sam answered briefly while focusing on his cellphone and had not had time to check the contents of the box.
"Let's just sit there!!" Invited Hua Lu to the table that already contained Evan, Eunice and the Director first.
"Try dear aaaa!!" Hua Lu gave a mouthful of sushi to Sam who was still busy replying to messages on his cellphone. Sam seemed to enjoy the food his girlfriend gave him.
"Hmm delicious .." Sam commented with a mouth full of food. "Where did you buy it sir?" Ask the Director "Your new favorite restaurant." The director replied briefly.
Sam stopped chewing in his mouth, he quickly looked at the food packaging box. "YU's Resto" is written in black on the right corner of the box which is clearly stated. Sam rose from his seat hastily toward the elevator.
"Baby where are you going?" Hua Lu shouted but was ignored. Sam pressed the button for the 1st floor. The place where the Agency Office entrance was located. His feet tapped impatiently against the elevator floor.
.....
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Sam immediately ran into the office yard, hoping to find someone's food car or bicycle. But no, the restaurant where the food came from was already closed. Sam massaged his head roughly and looked annoyed.
His limp steps followed him into the office. Several times he took deep breaths, as he passed the reception desk Sam had an idea to ask.
"What time did the food for the press conference come?" Ask Sam at the receptionist
"About 75 minutes ago." Answer the receptionist looks reminiscing " Okay, thanks." Sam answered weakly.
"75 minutes, she must be gone. I wish I had noticed sooner." Sam waited in front of the elevator lazily. He had to go back to the 3rd floor where the administration and the meals were being held.
.....
Sam bent down and kicked his feet on the floor. Until the elevator doors opened he finally lifted his face again. But Sam didn't come in, he was transfixed.
In front of him, in the elevator was standing a person with loose hair tucked into his ear. Wearing a brown sweater and peacefully closing her eyes enjoying the music that came from the earphones plugged into the ears. Her face looks peaceful with a small smile visible on her small lips. Her shiny black hair gave a fresh look to her face.
Sam only realized when the elevator doors were about to close. Hurriedly he entered without taking his eyes off the figure in the elevator. Yuire kept her eyes closed and wasn't bothered by Sam's ragged movements. Sam's eyes continued to stare, that peaceful face had made Sam smile without realizing it.
For a long time the elevator stopped because Sam forgot to press the button. That made Yuire open her eyes, their eyes locked expressionlessly for quite a while.
"Which floor??" Yu approached Sam's body, about to press the elevator button for Sam. Their faces almost met.
"Huh?? 3rd floor." Sam gasped. After pressing the button Yu returns to the previous place. Sam was still staring at her.
"Doesn't she want to chat with me?? Then what exactly is she listening to??" Sam said in his heart. Suddenly Yu gave one of the earphones to Sam.
"Eh???" Sam's eyebrows furrowed at Yu, Yu nodded and still offered her earphones to Sam. Seeing Sam who was still silent, Yu pulled Sam's hand to stand next to her and put the earphones into Sam's ears.
"This piano instrumental calms me down. You have to listen, so you're more relaxed and not in such a rush." Yu closed her eyes again and smiled, ignoring the beautiful eyes that were focused on beside him, the mouth that continued to smile accompanied by the soothing music of the piano.
I'm always in a hurry to see you
And you're just teasing with your eyes closed
While I'm here,
I don't even dare to blink
Afraid you'll be lost again
