Cold Man And Miss Stone
38. Problems For Progress

Samuel gulped hot saliva at the gaze in Ema. His ever-cold, mysterious eyes now looked at Samuel with strange pressure.

From childhood, Samuel was probably an arrogant boy. He always thought things were easy. But being stared at by the eyes of this cold-hearted girl turned out to be more difficult than anything she had ever been through.

"Ema." Unknowingly, Samuel was already holding an arm near his elbow, further eroding the distance between them. "Ema, I—"

No. gabe. Not-time.

But Samuel felt helpless. His feelings were overflowing day after day he was with Ema.

Samuel's forehead was wrinkled, holding something inside him from exploding which might have messed things up by now.

"There's something I really want to tell you." Samuel muttered lowly. Clenching his hand so as not to release holding Ema without permission. "And I'll ask you later. I hope you answer that, at that moment."

"...."

Samuel couldn't control himself until his forehead stuck to Ema's temple. He took a deep breath, as well as feeling the distinctive aroma of Ema like the fragrance of cloves.

I feel crazy. Samuel backed off immediately. Smiling as if nothing had happened.

"Samuel Ahkam may still be a virgin."

Mahesa immediately smiled faintly hearing Nine say so. Of course it's not a prophecy. That's the data that Nine collected as far as he could and didn't find a single time Samuel Ahkam was fucking a woman in the room.

Probably except for his bedroom. That part couldn't be hacked because Samuel even disabled his phone when he went into a private room.

"In my experience of observing Emilia, Samuel's attitude was infuriating and too blatant."

"In my experience of observing women, it's hard not to get hooked on Samuel." Mahesa shrugged her shoulders. "But that also depends on how Emilia handles it."

"Well, mystery is only about intelligence and stupidity." Since it felt like there was nothing important to hear, Mahesa removed the headphones from her ear. "Then, let's talk about Argantana Ahkam."

"You're going to obey Emilia's words about that?"

"Why not? Argantana is smart. Provoking him suspect Samuel also seemed meaningless. So I guess just let him know that there's an outsider playing."

"You and Emilia are the same." Both do not know how to be patient for things that they consider not too important. "If it collapses too quickly, your chances of getting Oto instead of decreasing?"

Mahesa propped up her chin and chuckled at the screen in front of her. "Isn't that why matchmaking on the basis of profit is the solution on many occasions?"

Should Nine pity Emilia for putting trust in this bastard?

But maybe not necessary, because Emilia instead refused if Mahesa had said something.

Perhaps without having Mahesa do this—make Emilia and Samuel in a convoluted way—Emilia will also say well from Mahesa who said.

"What are you doing?" Nine asked because Mahesa suddenly pulled the keyboard in front of her, and started ruffling Nine's toys. "Hey, this thing is expensive."

"Yes, because I bought it."

Hid. "Now you're changing professions to become a soap opera director?"

"I'm a genius who can do anything." Mahesa smiled with satisfaction, sending various photos of various angels showing the figure of Samuel as if kissing Emilia.

Mahesa's goal is clearly just one.

Creating problems to see the continuation of the relationship of the two.
