You Can’t Go
“JOSHUA!”
The screams echoed, filling the entire makeup room. There was Valerie who was staring angrily at the tablet she was holding.
A few minutes ago, he intended to read the news on fashion developments in Asia, especially Indonesia. His eyes suddenly fixated when he accidentally saw a banner on a news portal reporting a wedding plan from a well-known businessman who was so familiar to his eyes. Not to mention that there are also several intimate photos of the couple posted there. Although the woman’s face was not very clear, Valerie certainly knew who the man was.
“This can’t be! This must be wrong,” Valerie muttered over and over again. The woman continued to deny what she had just read.
Meanwhile Joshua, the manager whose name was called earlier, immediately approached. Putting on a confused face, the man approached.
“Why, Vio? Why are you shouting like that?”
Valerie immediately turned around. Throwing a sharp gaze, the woman immediately pointed at the tablet screen she was holding.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know about this news?”
Joshua pulled his face away. Of course, he was confused when he came and was being held up with questions he didn’t understand.
“What news do you mean?”
Valerie chuckled angrily. Switching to the tablet, the woman immediately zoomed in on the news she had just read to then show it to the manager.
“Read this news. Here, it is stated that Samuel is engaged and even officially married some time ago to a woman in Bali. For God’s sake, this is a joke, right? Who is Samuel married to? Why don’t you tell me about this?”
“I don’t even know anything, Vio,” Joshua immediately said.
“Liar! I’m sure you’ll know. No wonder recently, you forbade me to hold my cellphone or tablet too long. You’re hiding all of this on purpose, right?”
Being accused of this, Joshua immediately fell silent. It was true what Valerie said. From the beginning of this news, Joshua knew that his talent lover was engaged to another woman. Even when they are officially married.
Joshua deliberately hid all news regarding Samuel from Valerie. He didn’t want his upbringing model to break his concentration which would actually interfere with his focus on work.
“Vio…” Joshua called in a tone as gentle as possible. “I didn’t mean to hide this news from you.”
“So what? You know that I really love Samuel. And now? I even got bad news. I have to go back to Indonesia, Jo. I have to meet Samuel as soon as possible.”
Joshua shook his head. He certainly wouldn’t let Valerie leave without finishing her work first.
“You can’t, Vio. Your contract isn’t finished. You can’t just go to Indonesia. You have responsibilities here that you must complete first.”
Valerie shook her head. The woman’s face looked uncomfortable. There are feelings of sadness, annoyance, and anger mixed into one.
He remembered that the last time he contacted Samuel, his girlfriend had confirmed that their relationship was over. It was also Valerie’s fault for repeatedly refusing when Samuel asked her to return to Indonesia for a while.
However, what made Valerie wonder, Samuel might have found a replacement in a short time and even married her right away. In Valerie’s mind, was it that easy to forget her?
“Anyway, I want to go home. The day after tomorrow I’m going to Indonesia. Full stop!” Valerie insisted. What is his decision can no longer be contested.
“No, Vio. You can’t go. I won’t let you!”
“Jo!” Valerie again shouted angrily. It’s so annoying why his manager forced his will by forbidding him to return to Indonesia.
“Anyway, you can’t just leave here before your work contract is over!”
“Ok! I’m going to finish the last contract. Once done, please don’t stop me from going home to see Samuel and sort this out.”
