Male Charm Storage
Departure

"I'm leaving, yeah." I peeked at Gloria's head, she drove me to the airport with Robin-one of the aides I asked to look after her while I was away-because Jared would also go with me.

Gloria looked at me pushyly with pursed lips - as if not willing to let go of me. I laughed softly at his attitude.

”Don't put on that face or I'll make you lose oxygen from kissing you here right now" I whispered in his ear.

Gloria nodded her head slowly.

I ruffled her hair while chuckling.

"Wait for me to come back! Don't ignore my phone later." I warned Gloria, not to forget I also gave her a lot of messages so she kept me informed about her daily life.

"Ready, sir." said Gloria taking a respectful stance like a soldier saluting her commander.

"I love you," I stole a kiss on her lips at a glance. It doesn't matter how people respond or Jared or Robin.

Gloria and I threw smiles at each other with love between us.

"We must go in, sir." Jared warned us to immediately enter the departure area.

"Yes," I replied flatly.

I stroked Gloria's cheek at a glance, for some reason I missed her when my journey had not yet begun.

"If you're pregnant, let me know right away! Don't try to abort my son!" threatened me.

Gloria clucking tongue. "Don't expect too much from that, Owen!"

"Why?" I was squeaking towards him.

"Nothing" Gloria replied briefly.

"Sir..." Again Jared called me to signal a warning that our plane was about to take off.

I shook my hand at Jared as a signal to let him in first.

"Don't do anything that will make me anxious. You hear that?" It's up to Gloria to think I'm a fuss, I don't care that I'm obviously worried about her.

"Yes, I'm not a child."

"All right, I'm leaving. Bye, Honey.." I kissed again the head of Gloria, smelling the smell of her hair shampoo that always felt intoxicating.

I arrived in the UAE, it felt like it had been a long time since I had set foot in this country. Since I'm not here to travel or find entertainment, I decided to work immediately so that all my business was finished quickly.

"Tell Mr. Hasan we'll see him this afternoon."

"Good, Sir."

Jared I can always count on him, he doesn't want to waste time because he knows time is an overflow of money for me.

Somehow I'm so excited that my work here will be done right away, I feel like I want to go home soon.

The phone rang when I had finished a lightning meeting with Mr. Hasan in one of the star hotel rooftops. I thought it was Gloria but it turned out to be Oxela.

"Hmm?" I answered when I received the new call.

"Sister, are you leaving for the UAE? I just got back from Sweden and Jade wants to see you. How'this?" Oxela's voice sounded furious.

"I'm busy."

"When aren't you busy, brother?" Now Oxela let out a heavy sigh.

"I'm coming home this week too."

"Hais... Then what should I say to Jade? As long as you're here, you never come home. Do I have to make a written appointment to see my brother?" oxela.

"You're so chatty, Oxela. I'm not playing around right now. I'm working so that this company doesn't go bankrupt!"

"I work too, but I can still go for a walk and date!"

"That's different! You think I don't know your job is just messing around in the office!" I replied upset because Oxela was like making fun of me.

"OK, okay. I'll cancel your meeting with Jade. But...."

"What else?" My feelings are starting to get bad.

"But don't blame me if when you come home I'm already his wife!" Oxela chuckled loudly afterwards.

"Don't tell me you're pregnant, Oxela!" my growl.

Oxela laughed loudly. I'm getting pissed off.

"What is it?" indict me.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Good!" my answer.

"Ah yes, Sister.. I'm going to the apartment brother, because-"

"No!" cut me quick. I don't want Oxela to find Gloria there. At least for now they don't meet before I get back.

"Why, brother? I want to throw a party there."

"party? Oh my.. just make it in the mansion, more freely," I suggested.

"It's a bachelorette party, I don't want to be at the mansion because my personal domain will be known to many."

"Single party you say? In my apartment? No. whoa...."

"But, sis..."

"Make in a hotel or villa rental. Not in my apartment!" i'm firm.

"Why? I usually have events there. Is there something you're hiding in there?"

"Ti-nothing," I answered stammered.

"Don't you keep a woman there" Gloria joked.

"Not the bag-"

"Well, I'll just check it out!"

"Oxela, no!"

"Bye, sis..."

I cursed to see the phone connection that has been cut off by Oxela's side. I grumbled, I wanted to call him back but I paused because I realized that if Oxela's nature was 'the more forbidden it would be the more he did'.

"Oxela will definitely really check into the Apartment. Have Robin move Gloria." I looked at Jared and my Assistant could already understand what I meant.

"Good, Sir. I'll take care of it!" jared said calmly.

I let Jared get busy calling Robin to give orders. After that, we left the rooftop area.

"Owen, I was asked to move out of the apartment by your man. Is that really so?"

Just arrived at the hotel I got a call from Gloria.

"Yes, baby." I answered while opening the tie knot that felt wrapped around the neck.

"Why?"

"Oxela will be there."

"Oh... You don't want me to meet your sister?"

"Not not willing, not yet."

"Alright, I'll follow your man's lead."

I'm relieved because Gloria can still give me understanding. A little quiet because he's not as thick as usual. Gloria could indeed manage these kinds of things. He can control himself and knows his attitude. Which is good and which is bad. What to do and what not to do. He can also be assertive when circumstances require him to do so.

But, sometimes he is also very whiny to cry over unnecessary things, in my opinion. But he thinks it might be necessary to cry, I don't know. I do not understand women even though I am quite sensitive to their will.

After having a trivial conversation until we make a joke that makes us both curled up, inevitably me and Gloria must end the call because Gloria must immediately pack to leave the Apartment.

"I'm sorry, stay in my other apartment. I just bought it for an asset, so Oxela won't find you there."

"Hmm, it's okay.I understand it," replied Gloria.

"I'll definitely introduce you to Oxela later, I don't want you to meet while I'm still here."

"Yes, it's okay. Take care of your work there, don't worry about me."

"Thank you, Baby. I miss you" I said honestly. I miss him even though I haven't left him for long.

"I miss you too." - Gloria from across the street.

"After everything is sorted out, I'll be home soon. Wait for me, don't wait for the others!"

Sounds of slow pangs from Gloria. "I'll be waiting for you, Owen!" he said friendly then disconnected our mobile calls.
