Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 41

That afternoon the sea was receding. Instantly the beach is filled with beach sand that is dear if not enjoyed. Ana and Naomi were running around like two women who knew no age. Doni and Marius who were walking after them from a distance could even hear their loud laughter.

"I heard you found the culprit who tried to kidnap Rain" Doni asked Marius who was walking beside him.

"Yes, um. They're just hired thugs. Who knows who hired them is their boss."

"Have found?"

"Yet. Seems hiding. They're not professionals. Soon, it will be found."

They fell silent again and enjoyed their walk.

"Om titip Ana, yes," said Doni suddenly breaking their silence.

"What do you mean by Doni?"

"Let Ana stay in your house, you don't mind, do you?"

"I ... Om know I wouldn't mind. But ... I'm not sure Ana ..."

"Don't worry ..," said Doni, patting Marius' arm. "Ana can't go back now. What is there will be even further away. So take this opportunity, yeah."

Doni blinked his eyes at Marius.

"At least help om, lest Alya and Agnes haunt om every night, for it doesn't help unite you guys ."

Marius laughed at Doni's words. She almost thought her days with Ana would be over when Ana met her papa. But it turns out that Doni will help her keep Ana at home. Who would refuse that help?

"Marius ...," called Ana who was running towards him. "When can you bring Rain here? He must have loved running around the beach."

Marius smiled hearing that, then he nodded his head. "Yes, we'll bring Rain here next time."

Ana runs up to Naomi and asks the same question. "Ryu you brought too, yeah. Let them go together."

Naomi agreed. "You guys look like a couple for a long time." And, Naomi laughed as she said that.

"Naomi!!!," cried Ana annoyed.

Ana pursues Naomi, who runs away from Ana. Their laughter grew louder and louder. Throughout the afternoon, they spent time at the beach until the afternoon came until the time they had to return.

......................

Returning from the villa, Ana returns to Marius' house. Yeah right, back to Marius' house.

Although Ana knew that the debts were lies, she could not return to her home just yet. Because his father asked to stay at Marius' house.

"You know Om Beni, right? He took papa fishing in Cairns, Aussie. All right, papa's got business in the Aussie, too" Doni said before they all returned from the villa.

"So you live in Marius' house. Papa can just calm down, rather than you at home alone," he explained again.

It's not that Ana isn't happy to stay at Marius' house, but Ana feels bad about Marius. In the past, Ana lived there because of her papa debt problems. But now everything is clear. Would it be okay if he still lived there? Ana was afraid that Marius would have a different opinion.

"You can stay until whenever you want. The room was yours from the beginning. If you want to change her like you like, tell me, "so Marius responded to her papa's request when he asked Ana to stay at his house.

And, it seemed as if Marius was affirming what he was saying. Because when he arrived home, he said to Tian, "From today on, Ana is my guest. Serve him well."

"Good, Sir. I'll do it."

"I've been well served here all along. Should she do that?" Ana grumbled in her heart.

Basically, there is nothing different from Ana's life at Marius' house between before she knew about the play and after Ana found out about it.

The only difference is ... Marius himself.

I don't know which villa demon possessed Marius. Because Marius is now increasingly changing .. to be strange, unusual, according to Ana.

For example, when Ana was stretching her muscles because she was sitting in the workspace too long Marius, suddenly Marius who was calling someone walked away from his desk and sat on the sofa in his room.

Then, he signaled to Ana with a wave of his hand to let Ana come to her place. Although Ana did not understand Marius's intentions, she still did so with a look of wonder.

He patted the seat on the sofa so that Ana sat on it. And then, gently pushed Ana's head down to lean on her lap which had placed a pillow on it.

Ana was very surprised when Marius did that. His face was suddenly reddish as his head had already landed on Marius' lap.

Shortly after, Marius's palm covered Ana's eyes. "Did he tell me to sleep?" thought Ana.

Marius' hand-touch was like a sedative for Ana. Marius' voice talking to someone on the phone was like music to his ears. Although only briefly Marius' hand covered Ana's eyes, but Ana who was exhausted became lulled to actually sleep.

Ana felt Marius did not usually give this attention before. That was why he thought this change was a strange thing to Marius.

And what was even stranger to Ana was her own head.

"Why does it seem like the more days Marius looks more and more? She was like that or just an optical illusion from both of my eyes?" Ana thought as she looked at Marius who was busy dealing with his laptop. Both of his palms were holding his head to keep hanging there.

"The longer you look at me, the more you'll be in love. Are you ready?" asked Marius who could feel himself being noticed. He keeps working even though his remarks are aimed at Ana.

Ana, who was still lulled by the sight before her, involuntarily said, "Maybe ..."

Then, a second later he woke up. "I was wrong" he said nervously. Anna immediately refocused on her work.

Marius just smiled seeing Ana's reaction. To her, Ana at that time looked adorable. "It's okay too" he murmured.

......................

Lucas entered Marius's study with a serious look on his face. He handed over the iPad he had brought to Marius.

"What is this?" asked Marius.

"Today's news" Lucas replied.

Marius noticed the title of the article seen on the ipad screen.

"Valerie Geraldine Looks Close to a Conglomerate"

"Open the other tab, "command Lucas, and Marius does.

"Conglomerate initials M Is Valerie Geraldine's New Girlfriend"

Marius opened another tab, and all of them displayed similar news.

"And all the photos show Valerie coming here when you were sick. When he almost hit Ana."

"When did this news come up?"

"It's just today. And only appeared in small media. Some even say this is just a hoax. Though if it was Val, the big media would definitely not miss it."

"Investigate who the source is, and bring it to me. I want to ask myself who told him to."

"OKAY. I'll call our investigation team soon."

"And again .. prepare the countermeasures strategy team to prepare for the worst possible. It may look underwater, but it looks like another moment will be a tsunami."
