Liana

"What time is the workshop?" He asked as we stepped out of the elevator.

"It is starting at 9 am." I said.

"Okay. We will leave at 8 am here. It is not that far from here."

"You are coming with me?" I asked excitedly.

"You think I will let you go alone?" He raised one of his eye brows and I squealed and hugged him.

"That's great!" I said really glad about it, but my excitement died and I asked him, "but what exactly will you do there?"

"Meet Noah, catch up with him. Join for a while,the workshop.."

"It's for two days! You can spend that two days to do-"

"And I decide to spend it with you." He said dismissing the topic. "Meet me at 7 am here, we can have breakfast together and then leave for the workshop." He said as we were standing outside my room.

He give me a quick peck on my lips and his forehead touched mine.

"I missed you so much." He admitted.

"I missed you too." I said.

"I was so mad when I heard you were alone in the hotel and you enter alone. I thought you came back to the hotel alone." He said moving back to look at me.

"I did not."

"I thought that, but at least he was smart enough." Oliver said as he hugged me and it felt like home. He smelled the same of citrus and this time a little peppermint along with that.

He give me a quick kiss on my head and told me to go inside.

"Good night, baby. I will see you tomorrow." He said smiling at me.

I blushed. Still not used to the endearment he started using and said goodnight as I went in and waved as he left for his room which was few doors away.

Mia was still not back and she texted that Grayson had asked for another room for her in the same floor, so she will be sleeping in the other room today because they are going to the night market thing and will be coming home super late tonight.

Oliver texted me to sleep early and not to worry about anything and I smiled at how caring he is, but I have responsibilities that I need to keep and so I continued with my work and went to bed a little after midnight.

When my alarm rang few hours later I was a little cranky because I didn't really get enough sleep, but a cup of coffee makes it so much better. Oliver rang the doorbell and when I opened the door. He was wearing a white button up shirt with a grey blazer this time with his famous black jeans, but instead of sneakers he was wearing a black dress shoes. He looked incredible and his hair was styled in a messy yet good way.

"You might as well take as many photos as you want." He said winking at me and laughed before giving me a hug and a quick kiss. Oliver gave a lot of hugs and kisses from time to time. We went to the dining room while holding hands. Oliver ordered breakfast rather than eating from the buffet (even though the buffet menu differs every single day)

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful as always?" He said all of a sudden making me choke and blush at the same time.

He quickly stood up to pat me on my back and when I was finally calm, he kissed the top of my head and walked back to his place.

"That was so random." I said.

"I just want to remind you of how beautiful you are." He smiled.

"Thanks? You are handsome." I said.

He smiled, one of his shy smile. "Thank you."

We had small random talks which ended us making random jokes. It was actually really great that we are comfortable with each other.

Oliver and I left for the workshop after our breakfast. It actually feels really nice to have him here with me. When we reached, we were greeted by Noah, himself with his assistant.

He didn't expect Oliver to be there and he grinned at him and give him a hug. Oliver awkwardly pat his back and handed him a bag, which I found out he bought Noah's favourite bottles of champagnes and Noah laughed when he peeped the bag.

"You still remember?" He nudged Oliver.

"Of course. It will always remind me because we missed the flight because you were freaking buying these and pretending that only at airport you will get it."

"You know my thing for this alcohol." He winked at him.

Oliver smiled. It seemed like they were trying to remember something together. Noah, then finally acknowledged me and apologize for acknowledging me later, which to be honest I didn't really mind because seeing Oliver so relaxed with Noah made me happy.

Noah led us both to some part of the building and was explaining to Oliver that what I will be doing the whole day and he said that both of them should go out for lunch later like "old times"

"I hope you are not planning to drink." Oliver joked. "It is still early and I cannot get drunk when I have to take care of my girlfriend when she is done."

Noah rolled his eyes. "She is not a baby. She can take care of herself."

"Actually she is my baby." Oliver said looking at me and I blushed at how open Oliver is with Noah.

"Sure. Emily would have cringed now if she heard that line."

Emily, I assumed is his wife who I learnt from last time was friend with Oliver too...

"Where is Emily?" Oliver asked.

"Emily, she went to LA with her sisters. They want to enjoy before the arrival of our baby."

Oliver's mouth dropped open. He hit him lightly and said, "and you guys didn't even think about informing me?"

"We were planning to send you invitation for baby shower." Noah said.

"Planning, huh?" Oliver said. "Sure."

"Jason is still working with you?" Noah asked. "I haven't heard from him for a while. I was planning to send him an invitation soon, too."

"Yea.." Oliver said scratching his hair.

"We were so relaxed back then, I meant Jason and I. You were the exception." Noah teased.

"I am more relaxed now, right baby?" Oliver said putting one of his arms on my shoulder and winked at me.

I laughed and shrugged. He pouted and Noah laughed. "She disagrees with your statements."

We were interrupted by a woman with brunette hair dressed in formal wear as she said that the workshop will be starting soon. Oliver was hesitant to remove his arm from my shoulder. He give me a kiss and said, he will be hanging around with Noah or in the office and told me to enjoy my workshop. I thanked Noah and said goodbye to Oliver and followed the brunette. I was pretty surprised by the amount of foreigners working here.

When I walked in, I noticed number of people in the room. The room was pretty noisy. There were shelves around the room with many books.. many drawing digital pads and materials are around the tables.

"Liana?" I heard someone called me from the large crowd.
