FOREVER HATE YOU'S
8. Rules

Arthur entered a large room. It was the suite room of a hotel he stayed in during his time in New York. He stood in front of a large glass that showed the night view of the city that never sleeps.

"Hhh ..." Arthur nodded slowly until something he was waiting for arrived. The sound of the door being knocked.

Arthur moved and opened the door. A beautiful woman came into his room. She looked seductive with quite revealing clothes.

"Hallo, Sir. I'm Westny." The woman introduced herself.

Arthur gave a faint smile. "Well, you know what you're gonna do?" abugn.

"Of course, sir. Can we start?"

Westny puts his hand around Arthur's neck, he tries to taste the man's lips, but Arthur dodges.

"Just go ahead" said Arthur. He does order a woman to accompany him tonight and Westny looks quite attractive to him, but Arthur has rules to achieve his release. This is all he does just for the supply of needs. Arthur is not interested in marriage because he does not know the meaning of a family.

Westny undressed himself, trying to serve Arthur well through his ministry. But in the middle of the game, Arthur just imagined Brianna's face. And that's enough to disturb his concentration.

"H i t!" Arthur cursed restrained.

"Is there a problem, sir?"

"Nothing, just go on." Arthur tries to shake Brianna's shadow. He knew it would be difficult because this had happened many times even when he decided to live far away in Canada.

Arthur sensed hers had already been played by the woman with his agility. However, Arthur actually imagined if the one who was with him was Brianna. Not Brianna who now looks fashionable with her appearance, but Brianna who used to be. Plain, innocent and stupid impressed.

Westny sees Arthur groaning in favor because of his actions. He does not want Arthur to reach the top alone, he also wants to feel the manhood of Arthur to enter it.

When Westny points the object at his own, Arthur suddenly realizes that it is not Brianna.

"No!" Arthur prevented Westny's actions.

"Please, Sir. I can't help it."

"You've read my rules, haven't you?"

Westny grumbled and held back the resentment in his heart. How can a mature man order a woman but not want to enter her. Arthur only orders a bloww job, arguing he can't enter just any woman.

"Come on, Sir. We can use safeguards if you doubt my health."

"Once I say no, then forever will not!" Arthur emphasized his words.

Westny scowled, he could not bear to see Arthur's seductive feminine spirit.

"Finish your job, or stop it here" said Arthur coldly.

Want to not want Westny to continue what he had done. He cursed the selfish Arthur for wanting only his own release without thinking about himself. But, what does Arthur care? That's why he paid a woman. He doesn't have to bother satisfying Westny either.

When Arthur has reached his destination, he immediately asks Westny to leave. Even the woman did not let him know her true identity. It's just an overnight relationship that Arthur thinks of as a business. He needs a distribution, and Westny needs money. Isn't everything breakeven?

As soon as Westny, Arthur contacted someone where he had booked the woman's services.

"Other times, give me a professional woman. I don't want him trying to break my rules."

Someone across the direct call confirmed the words of Arthur who seemed cold. He already knew of Arthur's rule of not wanting union in the overnight relationship he ordered.

...****...

Like any other day, Brianna had to keep working. Chico is still in the hospital, but he has been treated and is in much better condition. The boy's body temperature had also dropped so Brianna could work with a calm heart today.

"Bri, the meeting with Fabio yesterday was delayed because he had an accident. Please rearrange the meeting schedule with him through his secretary."

"Okay, Madam."

Brianna was grateful Jane was so good to her that it was enough to help her in her work. This is also one of the reasons Brianna is at home working at the company she now lives in.

"Ah yes, tomorrow I have to go to London with Arthur. Arrange all the needs."

Brianna nodded. "I'll book two tickets, ma'am," he said.

"Don't two, three tickets" Jane said.

Brianna is back in the mangosteen. "Is Cleo back at work?" guess it.

Brianna's mouth was open to ask about who the other ticket was for, but Jane first continued her sentence.

"... those three tickets were for me, Arthur and you, Brianna."

"Me?" Brianna pointed to herself.

"Yes. You have to come."

"But-but, Mistress?" Of course Brianna was surprised by this, especially he had to go with Arthur as well.

Jane smiled gently and patted Brianna on the back of the hand, as if reassuring the woman.

"I think it's one of your duties as my secretary, Bri."

"Hm-uhm, yeah okay, ma'am."

Brianna returns to her desk outside Jane's room. As his head filled with thoughts of going to London with Arthur, the man suddenly appeared and nudged Brianna's shoulders that seemed unfocused.

Of course Arthur deliberately did that, then he chuckled softly when he saw Brianna a little dazed because of his actions.

"Stop bothering!" sergeant Brianna.

Arthur smiled in anguish. "Woa, that spicy mouth of yours," he mocked.

Brianna shook her head. No, he can't be influenced by Arthur's attitude. Arthur must be planning to make trouble with him, so he can't stand working here and resigns. He must be more patient with Arthur, so that he can still work well, so the inner Brianna.

"Ah yes, where are your bo doh glasses that you used to use often?"

Brianna stopped because of Arthur's words, but she did not look at the man.

"You should still use it. That suits you," Arthur continued.

"Solve your business here without harassing anyone else" Brianna said flatly.

Hearing that, the corner of Arthur's lips curved. He smiled in a position Brianna could not see. Then Arthur actually entered the mother's room.

"Mom, do we have to go to London?" Arthur didn't want to go to that town. He's still at home in New York, at least for some more time. He still enjoyed his long days before he was busy returning home to Canada.

"Yes, just 2 days. We have to meet Mr. Smith for the final stages of creating new infrastructure."

Arthur's late father's company in Canada was engaged in real estate, just as Jane managed in New York. But, Jane is not the owner, she only has a position as Director there, while the original owner is Gerard Smith who happens to be in London.

This project is quite large, requiring cooperation between the Arthur company and the Gerard company. So, inevitably the two men did have to meet to talk about the final stage.

"That must be boring" chirped Arthur.

"You're always playing around, Arthur. Do you want your late father's company to go bankrupt?"

"Of course not, Mom. I've tried my best to manage it."

Jane clucked her tongue, Arthur was never serious. Jane expects Arthur to mature and take responsibility for her late husband's trust in Arthur. What could have changed Arthur? Jane thinks Arthur should get married, but her son refuses to.

Arthur once said he didn't even think about it at all.

Jane can't keep pushing Arthur. She knows her son is like this for fear of having a toxic relationship like her and her ex-husband. Yes, in the end he and Wilson divorced, before Arthur's father died. They have different principles, have a high ego and always quarrel, so it is natural that until now Arthur was not interested in a relationship. Maybe he thought all relationships would end the same as his parents.

"You should come and meet with Mr. Smiths. You have to see how he manages the company well."

"This is what makes me lazy, Mom."

"Why?"

"Because Mom always compares me to Gerard."

"Mom doesn't compare you to him, but wants you to learn from him."

Arthur scratched his non-itchy head. "Well, I don't have a choice, do I?" pasrah.

...To be continue ......
