Cold Man And Miss Stone
26. The Cold Side of Samuel

Emilia had been very dislikeful of the way Samuel had been looking at her lately. He kind of put his eyes on Emilia more and more and more and that sucks. Though there should have been no reason to be suspicious, but he continued to look at Emilia in an annoying way.

Does he not get tired of wearing a mask all the time?

"You reasoned you couldn't eat with me because I'm the employer." Samuel handed me a package of food from the restaurant. "Eat this in your room."

There are people who do not understand how many times it is hinted at? Emilia was silent because she was tired. Just following in Samuel's footsteps today is just a walk down the sidewalk.

Emilia's head is dizzy from the light and noise of the vehicle. Plus he doesn't wear glasses, it feels even harder to walk.

"Ema, what's wrong?"

Emilia tried hard not to frown. "Nothing."

But Samuel just looks stupid and stupid. He's basically a man with keen observation. No wonder he realized it. "Your eyes are so bad."

Hid.

For some reason, he stopped, reached out.

Whahuh? He wants to hold the bag in Emilia's hand?

"Give me your hand, Ema." Samuel held his wrist. "This is not a village whose path has been mapped in your head. With those eyes, it would be difficult if it were to squint down while following my steps."

What then? He's saying they should join hands?

Shall I kill? Emilia looked at her hand which was in the blanket of Samuel's palm. He had never been touched without permission except by Mahesa.

But Emilia still had patience. So he followed Samuel's steps while continuing to hope that they would arrive soon.

What made all that shit, when he arrived at the residence of Ahkam, Soraya Ahkam saw him and went back to look for trouble.

"Uncle why hold the hand of a maid like a lover?!"

Samuel finally let go of Emilia's hand. "Ema's eyes are blurry, Soraya. So I'm just helping her."

The girl glared at Emilia's pads as if everything was Emilia's fault. "I can't believe it" he said. Pull Samuel's arm to go in. "I can recognize Uncle even if I wear a mask! If someone sees Uncle and the village girl together, what if Uncle's career is ruined?"

"You're overreacting."

He was exaggerating but Samuel had better listen to him.

That way Emilia will be calmer.

He really hopes to be able to rest in the room soon, but again must be disturbed by an Ahkam.

"You back?" Rowan Ahkam greeted her as if Emilia was not a maid.

This child had from the beginning placed a strange interest in Emilia. It was not the opposite sex's interest, but also not the suspicion shrouded in the investigation.

Emilia cannot define what. Merely, he felt Rowan think of something about him.

Even when Emilia passed him by just like that, Rowan just kept quiet. Not angry, not offended, not humiliated or humiliated.

She ... should Emilia finish as well?

Let's just say he doesn't exist.

That's easier.

Emilia went into her room, went into the bathroom to throw food out of Samuel before she took a bath and went to rest.

"Sam, there is an offer to play a movie from Respati Sugiono." Nina came early in the morning to give a news to Samuel with an enthusiastic face. "I had dinner with him last night and he said the lead for the movie would be good to be played by a singer. I offered you and he asked to meet!"

Samuel just smiled a little. "Is that so? But, Nina, didn't I tell you I didn't want to accept the offer first? Singing, especially movies."

Nina's face immediately looked disappointed and annoyed. "Sam, come on."

The woman looked around to make sure there were no ears close enough before saying, "His role requires a deepening of the character before filming takes place. Respati said he would ask you to stay in Borneo for two or three weeks. It's a chance."

"A chance?"

"Of course get out of the madness that's been going on lately!" Nina approached to be more careful about speaking because they were in Ahkam's residence now, which meant it would be dangerous if the talk reached someone like Argantana's ears. "Sam, I'm worried about you, for God's sake. Let's get out of this place for a while. What if Argan—I mean, that lunatic is after you?"

Heh, so Nina thought it was Argantana's doing?

Samuel was a bit chuckling. Although Nina directly hit him hard, Samuel preferred to string up a smile.

So naive. Ah, no, is it? From the beginning, he understood nothing.

Samuel could not blame her either.

"That's a great idea." Samuel's eyes intersected with Emilia who had just entered, lifting up a number of heavy furniture. It was the cost of the clothes Samuel bought. "But I don't want to. Tell Respati I'm not interested in acting."

Unfortunately, Nina's eyes caught Samuel's sight.

"I must be crazy" he murmured later. He looked at Samuel as if there was something very difficult for him to understand there. "You chose to stay here because of your maid?! I told you to stop pretending to be nice because it's disgusting!"

Pretending to be nice, Samuel? He was just acting ordinary.

Samuel had lived with a mask since he was a child. So if Nina calls the pretense disgusting, it means that since childhood Samuel has been disgusting.

"Come, Nina. Calm down and don't think too much about trifles."

"Their deaths are trivial to you?"

Aye? Is there any meaning?

Samuel smiled before heading to the kitchen for breakfast. Behind him, Nina clenched her hands, staring at Samuel's back.

For many years with her, Nina knew very well that one thing was certain for Samuel Ahkam.

That cockroaches mean much more than the humans around them.
