Chapter 16 - Whisper

Masal took a sip of breakfast and glanced at the clock. "I think I'm going to be late for work," she said in a slightly flustered but calm tone. Bartu smiled slightly, his lips curling into a smile: "I'll drop you off," he said in a mocking but sweet tone. Masal nodded slightly and got up from the table with a slight smile. Bartu followed them without taking his eyes off them, a sweet smile still in his eyes.

Masal opened the door and got in the car, and Bartu sat right next to him. He started the engine, and the car slowly drove off. While Masal looked out the window, Bartu watched him out of the corner of his eye; a slight smile lingered on his lips. Masal occasionally turned to Bartu: Bartu glanced briefly at Masal, not taking his eyes off the road. Masal wrapped his arm around Bartu and leaned his head on his shoulder. Bartu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly. Masal's closeness to Bartu was driving Bartu crazy; he wanted to be with her only, every second.

Bartu drove to Masal's workplace. Masal opened the door, glanced briefly at Bartu, and said, "Thanks for letting me go," before placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. Bartu locked eyes with him, moved his lips, and smiled quietly. Bartu set off for his own job. On the way, the sweet memory of his morning with Masal replayed in his mind; a brief but intense closeness, their gaze, and the soft whispers still left a smile on Bartu's lips.

When Bartu arrived at work, he parked the car and headed into the office. He quickly sat down at his desk, his memories of that morning's brief moments with Masal running through his mind. Today was an important meeting with new clients, and his entire team needed to be prepared. He went into the meeting room, where the team was already ready. He opened the presentation files, reviewed his notes, and gave final instructions before the clients arrived: "Is everything ready? Make sure there are no missing details in the presentation," he said firmly.

After a while, the meeting room door opened, and the clients entered. Bartu stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Good morning, it's great to see you here. Let's get started," he said. Throughout the meeting, Bartu provided detailed information about the company's new agreements and projects. During the presentation, he answered both his teammates' questions and clients' questions with professional and clear answers. Those brief moments of Masal's morning were still playing in his mind, but Bartu was completely focused on his work. A faint smile graced his face, recalling the warmth of the morning while simultaneously maintaining control of the meeting.
