Chapter 66

• Rio glanced at the clock on the wall to the right of his photography studio. He sighed deeply when he realized that he probably wouldn't make it back to his boarding house this afternoon to have lunch with Retno. It was already 12.30 PM and he had just finished a photo shoot with Kaelie. Not wanting Retno to feel ignored or lied to, Rio decided to take out his phone and look for Retno's number. Once he found it, Rio immediately sent a message to his girlfriend.
• Rio: Honey, I'm sorry but I won't be able to come back to the boarding house this afternoon. Can you order food delivery for yourself? I just finished a photo shoot with Kaelie. Haven't had the chance to clean up the studio yet.
• Retno, who had been waiting for Rio and received a message like this from her boyfriend, felt a little disappointed. She had dressed up nicely and was ready to go out for lunch together. As a mature woman who understood that a job comes with responsibilities and dedication, Retno couldn't be mad at Rio. Instead, she typed a reply message to let him know that she understood his busyness. She was a mature woman who wouldn't get jealous without a clear reason. Especially not jealous of Rio's work.
