Madness
Chapter 21's

Arriving at the car, Nate threw his body inside and sighed.

Today's events have confused him. But he was really grateful, he was already in the phase of being able to overcome his wild instincts very well. He became his controlled self as always.

Otherwise, the man did not dare to imagine the impact if it had happened a few days ago. It was certain that he and Lin would do something that they would regret later.

Marcus, who could feel the anxiety of his superiors, looked up from the rearview mirror. The cold man slowly began to steer the car towards Nate's penthouse.

"You all right, sir? What exactly happened just now?"

Nate looked out the window, into the darkness of the night. He shook.

"I don't know, Marc. It's so weird today."

"Any?"

His assistant scrunched his forehead deeply, and only realized that his boss was no longer wearing the sweater he had previously worn.

"Where's your shirt, sir?"

The man asked lowered his head and looked at the shirt he was wearing automatically. He looked up and saw Marcus through the glass in front of him.

"You slumbering woman is sticky, Marc. I-"

Nate fell silent. He couldn't possibly say the embarrassing thing that had just happened to him to his assistant. He still has the pride as a boss and also a leader.

The backup of his assistant who was in the rear-view mirror seemed to ask, still waiting for its continuation.

"Hem. The point is, the smell was still in my water."

Trying to bite his lips without notice, Marcus nodded. Sometimes it's thoughtless with Nate's smell that he thinks is too sensitive to the smell of human women.

"You threw it away?"

"Yes. I asked Lin to throw it away. The smell makes me still nauseous."

Marcus nodded back. He was actually still curious about what happened earlier, but did not want to force his boss to tell a story. There will all be time.

After a moment of silence, the voice within Nate suddenly broke the silence.

"Marc. What happens when you meet a V?"

The question made Marcus look at his superiors through the rearview mirror. The man behind her looked still looking out the window.

Redirecting his focus on the street in front of him, Marcus begins to tell stories.

"Actually the same as when human men and women meet. There will be mutual interest. Lust, and at the ends there are activities to channel it."

He paused the story a little when they stopped at a red light.

Actually, the early hours of the day made the streets very quiet, but the man did not want to risk being caught by CCTV which could potentially be a longer problem.

"As for when it has become a V, it happens in greater intensity."

The man behind her looked. One of his hands seemed to rub his lips.

Marcus's eyes looked back at his boss through the glass in front of him.

"Often when that happens, there will be a phase of madness. Getting each of them ingested in his wild instincts and doing things that generally can't be remembered afterwards."

"You never remember when you did it with a V lady?"

The light that had been green, made the cold man return to run his car slowly. He turned on the sign light to turn.

Answering Nate's question, Marcus seemed to shake his head. "Almost never."

Nate looked straight up sitting him in the back seat. This information is quite interesting to him.

"But I've almost never heard of a V couple doing it anywhere, Marc."

"Indeed right. That phase of insanity arises, when V's partner has made intimate physical contact, such as hugging or kissing. So it will happen when they are already in a conducive situation and place."

His boss nodded his head. He never knew this because he had never experienced it himself.

"But if you don't remember doing it, wouldn't it be weird when you wake up?"

The cold man's eyes flashed slightly. "Not really."

"But aren't you going to end up sleeping in the same bed? For a long time after?"

"How long do you think a V will be able to sleep after doing so, Mister?"

"Eitherway. I've heard about 1-2 days."

His assistant only nodded his head once.

"really. When it's a couple or at least love each other."

Nate's eyebrows raised. He was quite surprised by this information.

"So you're saying there's a difference between doing it with and without feeling?"

"Really back, sir. This activity is still a secret of nature. When a V loves his partner, his body will be much more relaxed, making the activity something fun for them."

Marcus turned on his sign light again and began to accelerate the speed of his car when he saw the road in front of him completely deserted and not seen a single car.

"I've even heard that they can clearly remember the details of the activities they have done. Just like a regular human being."

"And it's different if they don't love each other."

The man holding the wheel nodded his head.

"Retul back. I can even still return home after the activity and can only rest 2 hours afterwards."

Nate's eyes were round hearing it. "That short?"

"Yes. That short. So the activity was not something too effective, other than just for the impingement of n*fsu. The only thing we should do if we want to take a full rest is to 'eat' regularly."

It does. Nate can even hibernate for 3-4 days, depending on how many bags of 'food' he consumes.

Although it does not need to sleep too long, but the V still need a break or hibernation period, at least 7 days in every 3 months of preservation.

And Nate often did it too late, making him have to become hungry and feel exhausted first and then the man wanted to 'eat'.

Shaking his head, Nate again asked curiously at his assistant.

"What about the humans, Marc? Haven't you done that with them a few times?"

Without notice, they had entered the parking area in the basement of Nate's penthouse. Expertly, Marcus parked his car in a special marked place.

"I do it with humans, when I only need a very short release, sir. And that I did with great force."

The cold man also actually dislikes human scents, but unlike his superiors, he can still interact normally and can even be quite intimate with them.

Shutting down his car engine, Marcus looked at his boss through the rearview mirror.

"The best thing is, when a V can find his life partner. Therefore, many of them end up choosing to live a solitary life, only together with their own partners until their age runs out."

Marcus gripped his wheel quite tightly and looked towards the front. His eyes this time looked empty.

Marcus' last statement made Nate appear to be stuck that night.

A few hours later in Lin's apartment, the woman was tidying up her apartment when the guest room door opened. Show Lucy with her pretty pale face.

"Luce, you're awake. Come here." Come here."

Lin invites Lucy to sit on the sofa and gives her a warm cup of tea.

"Thank you, Lin."

His friend immediately downed the tea. And after putting her cup on the table, the woman began massaging her slightly painful forehead.

He looked at Lin's apartment area, and his memories began to slightly return to that night.

"Sorry Lin. I seem to be troubling you. Again."

Smiling, the woman just sat next to her friend. He held Lucy's hand.

"It's okay, Luce. You got a problem with Mark again?"

Mark is Lucy's ex-husband. Actually still her husband, because they are undergoing a fairly tough divorce process. Related to child custody issues.

Shaking her head, the woman beside her only started to shed her tears.

"He's still not willing to let go of Scott, Lin. I don't want anything from him anymore."

This problem has been going on for months, and has not found a middle ground.

Depressed conditions like this, sometimes make Lucy run away on booze.

The only friend who can be a place to confide in him is LIn, because he knows that this friend will not make his story into gossip in the office later.

Taking the tissue off the table, Lin gently wiped his friend's tears.

"Why did you get a divorce, Luce? You never want to tell me."

The question even made Lucy cry even more sobbing, making the woman in front of her become even more confused.

Actually Lin had absolutely no idea how to calm a sad person. All this time, he always lived alone and never close to others.

He never invited anyone else to come to his house.

So far, only Nate and Lucy know exactly where she lives. And that too, because of accident.

Recalling what he reflexively did to Nate last night, he hugged Lucy and rubbed her back the same way. Trying to calm him down.

Not long after, Lucy began to look calm.

"It's quiet, Luce?"

His friend nodded his head. "Yes. Thank you, Lin."

"In a moment, I'll fill your cup again."

Slowly, Lin started carrying Lucy's empty cup into the pantry. While filling his friend's cup with tea, Lin observed Lucy's face which looked still lowered but already looked calmer.

Back on the sofa, Lin pushed the full cup before his friend again.

"Drink again, Luce. So you're calmer."

Lucy followed her friend's advice, and began to drink her tea slowly.

Placing the cup half-full on the table, Lucy breathed in.

"I'm actually divorced from Mark because he cheated on me, Lin. And that son of a bitch, did it with his mistress in our own bedroom."

Lucy's story was completely unexpected, leaving Lin unable to say anything.

"Sorry Luce. But I can't seem to comment on anything."

His friend even squeezed Lin's arm that was on his lap. And for some reason, Lin's words could make him chuckle softly.

"It's okay, Lin. You've been a listener to me, that's more than enough."

"So, what's your plan?"

"Right now, my lawyer is gathering some evidence of his infidelity during the marriage. I hope it's more than enough to be able to relinquish custody to Scott later."

Lin patted Lucy's hand that was still on her lap.

"It's gonna work out, Luce. Don't worry too much."

The woman in front of him nodded. "Yes, I know. But the words he said last night that threatened to take Scott away made me feel so angry."

"Where are you going Scott now?"

"In my parents' house. I told them about this matter."

Nodding, Lin seemed to approve of Lucy's decision.

The two women were silent for a while, busy with their thoughts.

"Oh yes Lin. Last night, how did you take me? Last time I inconvenienced you, you had to pay security from the lower lobby."

Lucy's face looked worried. He really felt that he was troubling his friend.

The woman beside him just smiled.

"You don't worry. My friend last night helped lift you up."

At first glance, Lucy recalled her body that indeed felt swaying and then slightly thrown onto the bed. He looked at Lin again.

"Is my body heavy, Lin? It seems like last night your friend had a hard time lifting me up."

Chuckling, Lin became reminded of the look on Nate's face last night. Quite entertaining actually.

"No really. Just my friend was a little unwell last night."

"Then, I have to apologize to Lin. Because it's been bothering him."

"no need. He helped you sincerely."

Curious, Lucy asked again. "Do I know him, Lin?"

Shaking his head, Lin got up from his seat. He doesn't want to extend the issue of Nate's identity anymore.

"It doesn't look like Luce. He's a friend I just met."

He also deliberately turned on the vacuum cleaner machine that he had used before Lucy came out of the room.

"Sorry, Luce. But I want to continue cleaning my apartment again. You can wait there or it's up to you."

Lin's activities can silence Lucy's question about who helped her last night. Lucy's easily distracted focus, enough to save Lin from her friend's questions she currently doesn't need at all.

During the cleaning of his residence, Lin thought hard, thinking about how he should not meet with Nate tomorrow.

He still did not dare to meet the man. He still feels guilty for her.
