Savannah really couldn't rest herself well. His body that had already said it was so tired and hoped for could immediately rest, but as if his eyes were not allowed herself to rest. Even when that woman is also already get extra comfort because it can sleep her body in Dylan's arms, she still couldn't close his eyes to be able to rest when the time has entered the next day. It was three at midnight, and Savannah still couldn't fall asleep also because of the burden of mind that she is currently having master herself. How can she solve that problem is having it, if she can not be a bad person?

That woman really can't be a woman who doesn't have a heart let alone to someone who has the heart to her. But if at this time she still uses his heart in taking decisions, the future she wants and dreams of is just that would just be bullshit. All of his sacrifices were included she is still at university and spends all his time alone so precious at such a young age just to work who truly devoted herself to the company where she works, it will only feel so pointless.

A little feeling of wanting to go far away from the problems that are owned at the place where she currently lives and spends all her time his life there, had appeared within Savannah. His departure alone later, might be able to distance herself from all kinds problem. Most of the problems come from where she is now is alive and is fighting for his dream. But if Savannah did such a thing, she would be nothing more than a single loser who prefers to leave rather than finish the problem until it is finished.

For a few moments Savannah had time to daydream to contemplate what things were after this she had to do to face some pressure from various angles that were attacking her, she decided to pushed aside Dylan's hand that was hugging her with slowly and wake from the bed to step his feet to the balcony of the apartment. Don't forget about her either took his cellphone from the nightstand, before walking to calming herself for a moment.

Even the night wind that immediately swept Savannah's body when the woman open the door that connects the balcony and the room, began to enjoy even though the woman actually knew that the night wind certainly not good for the health condition of the body for anyone who does exactly like Savannah was doing. But the woman is not care about things like that. Because of a moment of calm this is what she needs for herself.

Sitting herself up in a chair, Savannah opened the screen his cell phone, which unconsciously somehow suddenly she led to Duke's cell phone number that was listed there. But after she saw Duke's number, Savannah actually had a feeling of wanting to call a man that. Maybe she could still explain the thing being talked at between the two of them in the man's office, who is now actually making everything the situation is getting more and more complicated.

Even though the current time is not possible for Savannah to be able to made a phone call to Duke because it could have been that guy was asleep, apparently did not make the woman want to wait until sunrise to be able to reach him. Because Savannah thought, if these problems can be discussed in a short time then the situation might have been different and less tense than it is today. With once pressing the green screen on her phone, Savannah decided to contact Duke.

"Hey, did I bother you?" Greet Savannah first after she heard Duke's voice on the other end.

"Can't you fall asleep?"

"Yeah. I really can't rest my body at all. Am I bothering you, Duke?"

"I also can't fall asleep. Even when I came home from the club earlier, I was feeling pretty drunk already and I thought I could fall asleep right away when arrived at the apartment. Apparently I simply can not close both my eyes."

"Then, have you thought about it too, Duke?"

"That thing we talked about in my office?"

"Yes."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm sorry I spoke without thinking about it first to make you feel offended by it, Duke. I really didn't mean it like that and made the situation worse It's getting more and more complicated like this."

"I also feel guilty because of what I said to you earlier. I'm not want to be seen as evil, let alone that by you, Savannah. I don't want that."

"Then, what should we do after this?"

"I want to marry you, it's not a joke let alone a thing nonsense that I didn't even consider then just came out from my mouth. I've thought about all that stuff and I'm just not the type people who never make a decision without thinking it over formerly."

"But I don't love you, Duke. How can I accept your proposal, if I don't love you?"

"I know you never loved me. But can you try? From something as simple as that. Perhaps, learn to love me?"

"You know that is a very difficult thing, don't you? That's how it feels easy to express and expect. But, believe me love someone can't be arbitrary, Duke. You have to understand things like that."

"What if I could make you love me?"

"Don't think about it first. Think about what about It was your daddy who threatened me, Duke. Can you help me to stop making threats against me?”

"You already know that there's something he wants and all that nothing will be able to stop it?"

"I don't want to ruin my career, Duke."

"If I could give a suggestion. This is the only way out you have is..., accepting my proposal to marry you, Savannah."

"Then if it's like that, shouldn't I end the relationship together with someone I love?"

"Yes you're right."

"How could I have the heart to disappoint the person I love with my own selfishness?”

"So you love him?"

"Of course, Duke. If I didn't love him, how could I want to be his girlfriend."

"Between you and him, who do you love more?"

"For now... Dylan."

"For now? Do you really say a sentence like that, Savannah?"

"Who knows what the future holds, Duke? Right now I am love him but i don't know in the future i still will love him or I could just turn my heart away from him. No one knows, Duke."

"Okay. That's only for the future. Then for now, you just love himself?"

"Yes. Even though I was under pressure and also threats from someone, I still love him."

"Then, what about your career?"

"That's what's weighing on my mind right now."

"Savannah, having business with my Dad is the same thing not fun at all. You will continue to be pressed until he wants it can be achieved. So in my opinion, with you ending that relationship as quickly as possible with him and accepting my proposal is the best thing. That way you will still be able to maintain the career you dream of it's the way you want it. Without giving up the career you have built it gets ruin just because you care more about people's feelings other than yourself."

"Should I do something like that, Duke?"

"Now I ask you. What did you choose between love and a career?"

"I hate having to decide on something like that."

"But you have to do it. At times like these, you have to make a decision so you know what kind of thing you are going to be do after this. You who just keep feeling confused, will only just wasting your time. You just do unimportant things for never making a decision when you're the only one can decide. All for your own good, Savannah. Do you love anyone more than yourself?"

"But I don't love you, Duke. It will be difficult and it will take time a very long time if i forced myself to be able to fall in love with others. Because I'm the type of woman who is difficult to fall in love with."

"If you want to try it out, I won't mind. If you still doesn't love me, I don't mind, Savannah. All that because I love you. And love, sometimes can't explained logically."

"I don't know, Duke. I need some more time."

"Wasting time will only make you more trapped this situation, Savannah. And that means, it will get longer too the weight of the problem that you are currently feeling."

"Okay. I'll decide. Not tomorrow, the day after or this week. But maybe in the near future."

"Okay. Oh, and Savannah. If you want it, maybe we can getting married in the near future too so you can have a reason that can help you in dealing with it to explain why you want to end our relationship with him."

"You're joking, Duke."

"No. I'm not joking about all that. I want to marry you as soon as possible, after you end your relationship with him. Savannah, think about it for yourself and no one else. Just yourself, you who have fought for your career from the start. Not maybe you just ruin it, right?”

"I don't want to ruin my career, Duke."

"And you already have all the answers of confusion you have right now with that ultimate desire of yours, Savannah."

"Right now I really need a bottle of drink that can

calm me down."

"My apartment is very open to you. Here I have many options drinks that might make you feel calm. And I also happen to need a drinking friend. I'm really really need to get drunk."

"That is a bad solution."

"You decide," replied Duke on the other end with a chuckle.

"Why am I stuck in a situation like this, Duke?"

"Because..., you are a special woman, Savannah. That's what I think. You're not like most women out there. Usually man can fall in love because of the appearance on the outside, but with you it's different. You with all the abilities you have in working, creating business, man like me obviously can fall in love with you. Not only you, but it's proven from my Dad who also likes you and even him further because he want you to be made a daughter-in-law."

"Is it really like that?"

"The reality is like that."

"Should I be flattered or not?"

"Are you flattered that I complimented you?"

"Hmm..., I didn't say it like that."

"But what you said went in that direction."

"All right, Duke. Do you realize what time is it?"

"I'm pretty lazy to see what time it is. Obviously you should sleep now. I will not accept any excuse if tomorrow you are late for work"

"Yes, Sir. Do you want to start being a dictator against the assistant as has passed back then?"

"Hmm..., I remember when I contacted you when the time was showed up almost early in the morning just to pay for my valet ticket."

"And that's where I already know what kind of character my boss is."

"Is that true?"

"Yes. And one question for you that I haven't had time for a long time ask."

"What's that?"

"At that time were you really drunk enough to pay for the ticket valet? Or is it just your plan that wants to make me feel annoyed and uncomfortable working for you?"

"I just wanted to get attention from you."

"Attention?"

"Yes. I was just looking for attention from you which at that time still wasn't I get from you."

"What for?"

"Confirming whether I really love you or not?"

"Then?"

"Then you already know the answer."

“Duke, this matter between us seems like it has a long way to go. Me, you and Dylan, and your Dad also got into it inside. How long do you think all of this will end?"

The question that woman threw at Duke apparently was not get a response from the other end. Savannah who had thought that Duke was brooding or something. However, the woman's brow frowned slightly when she heard the sound of Duke's breathing sounded regular, and made Savannah pretty sure it was a man it had already fallen asleep with a phone line between the two of them wasn't over yet but Savannah had been left to sleep by Duke.

With a smile, Savannah immediately hung up the phone and decided to get up from his seat and walk away his feet back into the room. Even though she continues refusing to rest, she should at least try to sleep because in a few hours she has to go to the office to work. Because the boss never likes to see if there is one employees who come late to the office for whatever reason.
