"You go! See Louise to help him. Let me help the man" William said as he looked at the image of a familiar woman being bullied by some.
"Aren't you the one who has to go see Louise and I'm the one who's helping that guy?" ask Arthur.
"No, hurry up or Louise will get mad."
"All right" replied Arthur.
Because William had said so, Arthur left William. Arthur knows William won't die just from fighting three bullies, "Ah, really looking to die. Does that guy not know how cruel Louise is. Coming at him in such an unethical manner, then still using women to tease him. Wait until tomorrow, I hope you won't be surprised to death when you see your company destroyed overnight" Arthur grumbled along the way to Louise's room.
"What else is this?" arthur asked himself when he heard the siren outside the hotel.
The sound was apparently from the officer's car that was about to make a rescue of a girl who threatened to kill herself on the roof of the building.
"Master," said a hotel attendant who had suddenly been beside Arthur. He was the same person as the one who came to Louise earlier.
"What's wrong?" ask Arthur.
"Can Mr Arthur try to persuade Mr Louise? The woman who was now on the roof would actually jump," the attendant panicked.
Arthur scrunched his forehead which did not hurt, then replied, "If you can't help it, then just let him jump. Let him feel the consequences after arriving below, otherwise the bone fractures will at most just die" replied Arthur then rushed away.
"What?" asked the staff not to believe what he heard. Why are those two people just as cruel.
Arthur didn't answer anything, he left immediately after saying that. Of course, hecticly grumbling in his heart, "Louise, look at the mess that your face and treasure are causing. I told you to get married so you don't show up more and more crazy women because of that."

Arthur opens Louise's room without knocking on her door, then closes it after entering. He did not know why he had to rush here, even though Louise's business had actually been completely cleared up. From a distance, Arthur can see Louise drinking wine alone in a mini bar that is available in the room.
"I'm so envious of you, being able to enjoy some relaxing time in the midst of this kind of chaos," Arthur scolded as he reached Louise's side. Without permission, Arthur poured a glass of wine into another glass, then twisted it before drinking it until half left.
"Then what should I do?" louise asked, looking at Arthur sitting next to her.
"At least pretend to do good by showing yourself" replied Arthur.
"That's a waste of my time. Besides, I'm not as good as you, Arthur!"
"I knew. You are very cruel" said Arthur. He went back to drinking the rest of the wine in his glass. While Louise checked her phone, because Joanna had not returned the call or message.
"Are you waiting for someone?" ask Arthur.
"Hm" replied Louise briefly.
"Your boyfriend? I heard you brought a girl to the company yesterday, who is she?" search Arthur.
"I won't tell you" replied Louise.
Hearing Louise's reply made Arthur smile, Louise would not normally be like this. So, is Louise really serious about her woman this time?
"It seems you like it a lot" said Arthur.
"Of course I like it. Otherwise, would I have taken him to the company and to my villa?" answer Louise.
"You, take him home? What did you do to him. You're not messing around, are you?" ask Arthur.
"Arthur, take care of your personal affairs. Preparation for your marriage, for example, isn't it too soon?" quip Louise.
"Don't worry about my marriage, my future wife and I have taken very good care of it."
"Then can we talk about something else?" ask Louise.
"It seems you don't want to introduce him to us. And I really hope you'll take her to my wedding" replied Arthur.
"Come on, I don't think he's going to go" replied Louise.
"Why?"
"You're asking too many questions" Louise's lips get a lot of questions from Arthur.
"Currently," lamented Arthur, "have you found it?" asked Arthur to shift the subject.
"Who?"
"Of course the girl who dared to go into Young Master Matthew's room that night" replied Arthur.
"Not yet."
"After today, both print and electronic media will surely present yourself as a major news highlight in a big way. Maybe he'll show up soon after seeing you back. When that happens, what are you gonna do to her?" arthur asked seriously.
"Since she has already dared to appear, then I just need to destroy her," Louise replied without hesitation.
"Louise Matthew is as strict as anyone says, '" Arthur said.
"Who told him to make trouble with me. If he hadn't gone crazy, my sister wouldn't have died" Louise said.
"What if it turns out that girl made you fall in love?" ask Arthur.
"Don't joke, I've found the girl I love" Louise replied.
"You, seriously with him?" ask Arthur.
"No, I don't dare. It's good that you're finally serious. It's time for you to have a child" Arthur said.
Louise smiled at Arthur, "I think you're right. By the way where William was, didn't you go with him just now?" louise asked to switch the conversation.
"That's, I think he's fighting with some people right now," Arthur replied awkwardly. Then pour another glass of wine for her.
"You left him alone?" ask Louise worried.
"Calm down, he's not gonna die!" answer Arthur
"I knew he wouldn't die just from such a trivial matter. But you just showed an unusual attitude. You wouldn't normally leave your friend alone at a time like that, would you?" louise asked with a suspicious look.
"I left him alone because I got a call from your men asking me to come here right away, so don't think weird. You're the main character here, that's why you're preferred. So understand why I left him" explained Arthur at length.
Of course, if it wasn't for William telling him to go immediately to meet Louise, Arthur might have left William there. Moreover, the woman who was bullied by delinquents seemed familiar to Arthur.
"Will someone who will live a married life quickly rise in blood like you?" moda Louise's.
"This has nothing to do with marriage" Arthur replied.
"really?" continued Louise.
"If you don't believe it then try it yourself, you'll understand later" Arthur said.
"Sorry!"
"Did I hear wrong?" arthur asked when Louise apologized.
"No, you didn't hear me wrong" replied Louise softly.
"You are this" said Arthur without continuing his sentence.
They were silent for a moment. Fill their glasses with wine and enjoy the sensation. Louise took a deep breath, before finally returning to her voice, "Arthur, is what I did this time right?" ask Louise suddenly
"What about?" answer Arthur.
"William."
Arthur glanced at Louise, then immediately straightened up, as if this time they would soon be discussing a serious matter about William's mysterious origins, "Have you found out who his family is?" ask Arthur.
Louise turned her head, smiling despite looking pitiful but also nodding at the same time.
"Who is William really?" asked Arthur curiously.
"A special child. The background is no joke. But I didn't know what happened until he was on the street and found my parents that day" Louise replied.
"Then have you told him about this?" ask Arthur.
"Not yet."
"Why?"
"I heard that his extended family is in a civil war fighting for the position of heir. William is actually one of those candidates. If I tell William now, what if he wants to leave. I mean, I didn't mean to hold him. But the situation is really not safe now. What will happen next will be unpredictable. What if his presence would be taken advantage of by them. Then, how will William protect himself in that foreign place. Even though he was from there, but he did not grow up and understand where he came from. Moreover, when William was already there, I couldn't do much to protect him since I was just an outsider. Of course, I could destroy it if they hurt William. They are William's family. How could I destroy it?" urai Louise at length.
"It's very complicated. Wait, what about her real parents. They're supposed to protect William if they see his son getting bad treatment, right?" ask Arthur.
"The problem is, both parents are dead" replied Louise.
"Died?" ask Arthur.
"Em" replied Louise.
"Because what?" ask Arthur.
"I don't know either" replied Louise.
"Louise, I think what you're doing is right. If the situation is indeed complicated like that, the best option would be to delay telling William. I'm just saying postpone it, because either way you have to tell him sooner or later" Arthur said.
"I also know, it's just that I'm a little unwilling. You know, after my brother's death, that William never left me. He also accepted whatever I said without ever refuting. I'm just afraid he'll actually be gone someday. Just like my brother Juan left me for good" Louise explained.
Arthur understands Louise's concerns, but Arthur also understands William's nature. Their relationship is also thicker than it seems. They are not just coworkers, but also brothers and sisters. Of course, also friends and comrades in the struggle to raise Matthews Group to this size.
"Louise, I'm sure William won't leave you. He grew up and grew up with you. After all, his house is where you are," Arthur said softly.
"Hhh, then I'll tell him after the internal conflict in his family it's slightly improved. When that comes, I will support whatever the decision is. Is it okay to be like this, Arthur?" louise asked for advice by slipping in a smile of disassociation.
"Of course I can. I know you just want to try to protect her, I support your decision whatever it is. If until then he doesn't understand your good intentions, I'll help beat him up later" Arthur promised.
"Thank you for hearing my story" Louise said.
"It's not a problem" replied Arthur.
The two poured wine back in their glasses, then toast before swallowing it. It seemed like the two were too absorbed in their conversation. Unknowingly, that someone had come in and heard all their talk since just now. That man was William. William has just returned after receiving treatment from Marissa.
William quickly exits Louise's room before Louise and Arthur realize her whereabouts. Walk slowly towards his own room and sit leaning on the side of the bed.
In the middle of the room, William smiled.
"Louise, I've been waiting for this for a very long time. I know, behind your arrogant and sometimes very annoying nature, there is one gentle side that you hide for me as a sister. I'm sorry, I actually knew you were keeping this secret from me. I didn't know it, so don't blame me, blame yourself for always telling me to stay in your room as long as you're not around. All this time, I didn't dare to ask why because I knew you must have a reason. That's why I chose to wait for you to say it. Because I trust you so much, and I believe this must be the best decision. Just like the incredible decisions you've made all along. I didn't expect to hear it tonight even though you told Arthur, not me. But don't worry, because everything Arthur says is true. Matthew was where I was, Matthew always gave me the affection I never got from my family. Then you, you're the only one I admire. I admire you for all the aspects you have, the way you solve problems, the way you raised Matthews Group to this stage, your brilliant ideas and all your crazy decisions. Everything you have in you puts you on a different level to everyone else. If I may say a confession, I will shout loudly that you are my only role model, my home, my purpose. Thank you for making me what I am now. Because without the help and opportunity you've given me, I'm nobody. I promise I will not disappoint you, and will try harder to accompany you to dominate the world business and make our Mattews Group shine in the future" William muttered while holding the old pendant. A pendant that accompanied William when he was discovered by Louise's parents as a baby. A pendant that had a photo of two small humans inside. A two-year-old boy, also a baby girl who is still red.
"Is she my sister, why is she so beautiful. Should I look for him now?" murmured William, then rested his head on the bed.
