LOVER MONSTER!
32. Run, Demian!
"What the fuck just now?" it was a question that came out of Dania's mouth, full of arrogance.
Today, Jessica and Dania plan to go out for some fun together. Do girl's night just the two. The reason Jessica was actually busy, so forced to drag her feet out of Elixir, was because Dania was claiming to be jealous of Jessica who said she was 'already dating'. Although not actually.
Jessica went out with Jake that day just to celebrate the day the man was off his heaping job. That'sthat's all. Jessica never considered that day to be their date. Dania drew the conclusion herself and was jealous herself.
It's strange!
Today, they should both have fun by stopping by a terrace cafe in the strip area. Talk lightly for an hour or two before moving to a nightclub.
Yups, the plan is so. However, the encounter with Angela just made the supposed journey full of 'pleasure', into aggravation.
Dania's pissed!
"Why is he yelling at you like that? Can't he speak well? I'm gonna rip his mouth out!"
"Dani, shuuush!"
"Don't shuush-ku. I understand because we're outside of him so there's no need to be respectful or anything. But.., but, he shouldn't have yelled at you either. Does he not have an adab? Don't tell me he's decided by Jake because of his lack of ethics."
"Dania, wow. Don't ruin this special night by talking about a situation that well, it's a little unpleasant." Jessica chuckles. "Take the wind."
"Last wind, my head. You have to reduce your tolerance for such idiots. Fire him tomorrow."
What Dania said made sense. Jessica herself really disliked the way Angela yelled at her so loudly just now. Especially when the voice that shouted at him implied anger.
People who listen can draw wrong conclusions. Jessica-at the age of almost 28, does not want to make a fuss, especially in crowded places.
However, even though Jessica agreed to Dania's annoyance points, Jessica also did not want to act extreme by firing Angela.
The girl is in an emotional state. Maybe, who knows, he is in trouble and has trouble controlling himself.
Whatever it was, Jessica just didn't want to directly fire the woman. Especially when there is Demian to be his backing. Jessica didn't want to die in her own room.
"Forget it, I don't want to discuss him at all."
"Nr, tsk. Alright. I get it." Dania clicked her tongue. His eyes again shot towards Angela's back and gave a hateful look towards it. "You'll have to rebuke him loudly tomorrow."
"Dani...?"
"Okay, okay."
"I want to eat quietly, please. If you want to get angry, I'll go home now."
"I'm not angry, I'm just a little upset." Dania defended herself. It was as if his bulging eyes of anger were not enough to explain his wrath.
'I didn't think I'd let him go back to work at Elixir. I should have let him stop forever!' Dania continued her scolding inside her head. Jessica would strangle him if he continued to discuss the same topic. Ugh, annoying. Jessica is too good or what?
"Dani, what do you want to order?" Jessica who was busy reading the menu book, finally looked up at Dania. Only when Jessica asked, did Dania pick up the menu book in front of her.
"Beef tenderloin seems good for my mood right now." Dania decided briefly.
"Ah, then I.., ricotta gnocchi."
"You won't be full" said Dania.
"I'll fill the rest with vodca" Jessica said. Since it was a special night she spent with Dania, Jessica intended to party as much as she could. He'll probably drink until he's stoned again, dancing and forgetting himself.
"You're crazy, girl."
"I know right?"
"Maha."

On the other side of the terrace cafe, Demian who sat face to face with Angela got full access to look at Jessica and Dania who had since exchanged words while laughing.
The sad music in the cafe did not affect the mood of the two. Instead, they chatted casually like two ball supporters who were discussing their favorite team.
Demian was curious at what they were talking about to the point that Jessica's eyes sparkled enthusiastically? Demian wanted to get to him, pulling aside his black mane that had fallen over the side of his face.
Demian wanted to tell the girl that she shouldn't be too big of a smile because the man near their table didn't stop staring at her. Demian wanted to pry the man's eyes out of his socket.
"Demians?" angela's voice draws Demian's attention from Jessica. He who had previously been pensively yearned for the cheerfulness of Jessica and Dania's table, was drawn back to the dark atmosphere that surrounds him now.
"You're dumbass." said Angela, my face was getting cloudy there.
"I was just thinking of a way to break someone's neck" Demian chimed in.
"Who?"
"Huh?" Demian blinked his eyes twice.
It was impossible to say he wanted to break the neck of the random man who was sitting a few meters away from their table. Angela could consider him a psychopath.
Looking at Angela, Demian then lied. "Jake, who else?"
"E-uh?"
"I don't like that he made you cry and grieve, Ange. You should be happy and enjoy your youth without thinking about unnecessary things."
Angela blushed, "You're very understanding, Demian. I'm happy to have you by my side. You're my best friend."
"Huh, yeah.., I guess." Demian did not remember doing anything special to earn the title. It's just, if Angela thinks so. Demian won't mind.

"Haha..." Jessica laughs. "I know, I know. I feel the same way. Should we go home now?"
"I'm afraid he'll follow us" said Dania.
"He was alone." said Jessica.
"Daan?" Dania scrunched her forehead in wonder. "You don't think you can take down a man with your bare hands, do you? For God's sake, Jesse."
"O-oh, you got a point."
While Jessica and Dania were busy exchanging words regarding the man who had been paying excessive attention to them for the last few minutes, spilling disgusting interest from her eyes, Demian..., the man who was supposed to be sitting quietly with Angela in the other corner of the cafe suddenly sauntered over.
Jessica who realized Demian's existence spontaneously paused her speech. Dania.
The two stared at Demian and were shocked as Demian pulled an empty stool in front of the perverted man.
"What the fuck?" dania said, her low voice can only be heard by Jessica. "Do they know?"
"I don't think so..." Jessica observed Demian's interaction with the stranger.
Not many words came out of Demian's mouth, but when he said something out of nowhere, his interlocutor's expression darkened in alarm. The man threw a gaze at Jessica and Dania before leaving.
"E-uh? What's going on?" Dania wondered, but Jessica knew the answer.
Damn, his heart beat increased unsettled as a pair of Demian's dark irises stared at him.
Demian helped. Demian.
Jessica should not be so stunned at the humane thing Demian did to her, but Jessica felt a warm creep on her chest. He gave a faint smile as Demian turned towards Angela.
"What am I feeling, did Demian just help us?" Dania asked.
Jessica gave a nod in response.
"Uwaaah, I didn't expect this at all. Justjust wonderful. What did he say until the fucker disappeared in fear?"
"Come on..," Jessica murmured, the warmth that enveloped her made a smile could not escape her lips. Jessica was so gobsmacked, her cheeks flushed red. "He may threaten to break his neck."
"Well, that makes sense."
"Since the situation is safe, we should go home." Dania tidied up her bag. "I'm not sure I dare to go clubbing tonight. I'm afraid to see that guy again somewhere else."
Jessica understands. She also felt that there was already quite a lot of chaos going on tonight, Jessica was afraid that something worse would happen. "Come on." said Jessica. He and Dania both went from there.
"Let's do this another time" Jessica said.
"Mm, make sure we get Ethan and Elli as well."
"Ahahaha, you have a point."
The night world is not completely safe for women. Jessica, who has been living in Vegas for years and nights, knows this sad fact.
Anyway,
After Demian managed to get rid of the bastard who had already disturbed his calm and of course, disturbed the calmness of Dania and Jessica as well, Demian returned to Angela's desk as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry" Demian said, "I just greeted someone I thought I knew just now."
"Mm, no problem." Angela smiled a smile.
"Oh.., Demian. So, look.., uhh, I want to tell you something..." Angela had trouble putting words out of her lips. He stuttered with a nervous knit finger. "That.., i..."
Drrrtt! Drrr!!!
Demian's phone vibrated on the table, Oscar's name on it. The vibration inevitably paused Angela's speech.
Demian who rarely received calls from Oscar did not want to underestimate the call from his partner. So, instead of disconnecting the call unilaterally and letting Angela continue her talk, Demian answered Oscar's phone on the spot.
"In a moment," Demian said to Angela before putting her focus on the Oscar call.
"Hello?" greet Demian.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your special night" Oscar said as he blurted.
"What's wrong?" demian asked unhappily.
"Just want to say, get out of where you are now."
"..."
Oscar's words don't require asking Demian why. He spontaneously stood up when he heard the command.
"Angela, I'm sorry. Something urgent happened." Demian, without waiting for Angela's response, immediately ran towards the door of the cafe which, by the way, was on the third floor.
Demian stepped hurriedly, circling the stairs towards the first floor. During that time, he did not decide on his call with Oscar.
"Oscar, what do I do now?"
