"You brat...!!" Shouted Madame Haidee.
After getting a slap from her Mama. Leona's eyes were speechless, holding back her tears from breaking, as well as being embarrassed in front of her bodyguards. Without saying, Leona directly left her parents residence and got into the car. Ethan closes the car door, although he is still very surprised by what he saw earlier. Ethan runs to the left side of the car and gets inside and rushes to leave Leona's parents' house.
"Simma....!!!! What are you doing????" Mr. Haidee exclaimed and looked very angry with his wife. "Are you crazy???? You slapped your own daughter in front of so many people, Leona must have been in so much pain.. You're really outrageous... "
"Are you deaf???? Your daughter is already insulting her own mother in front of a lot of people, and should I just shut up to see how immoral her words are???"
"You should realize why he said that???? I told you that you don't keep chasing and bothering her, let her do what she wants, what's the matter if she goes on vacation for a few days??? He knows what he has to do for his job, if he wants to, surely from the beginning he will ignore the company and choose to pursue what he wants, but all this time he's been working really hard, so why do you keep bothering him... Why do you keep doing things that make him uncomfortable all the time, let him calm down through his day, he's done what you told him to do, you asked him to quit cooking school and told him to go to business college, he has done it and he takes care of the company very well as you want, then what is less...???" Mr. Haidee seemed to be holding back his emotions.
"He did not fully comply with my wishes, and his attitude was very contrary to my wishes.. " Mrs Haidee denied her husband.
"She has her own life, let her do what she wants, she's grown up and we should've let her go and not bothered her or forced our will...!!! Why don't you realize it's your fault with him, he said it's because he's tired of facing you.. Why do you take care of her romance, if she likes to let her pursue her own love, why do you manage everything, trade it on every man, then you ask them to work together and ask them to make a big investment in the lure of getting close to Leona.. That's a crazy thing... Without the need for you to do that, Leona is already good at finding her own investors, without the lure of silly things like what you do... "
"Fuck....!!! I did what I thought was good, you who don't understand and are as stupid as your daughter.. " Mrs Haidee went into the house and left her husband.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Leona has been quiet ever since, Ethan only hears the voice is going from the woman. From the rearview mirror inside, Ethan sees Leona crying. Ethan did not dare to ask. Understand that Leona now definitely needs privacy and calm down.
Ethan is still reluctant to believe that a mother can do such a thing to her own child, who should instead protect her. And Ethan also cannot deny that the way Leona said is actually not appropriate apalgi to his own mother, it's just that maybe Leona is too tired with the circumstances faced by her all this time. The aristocratic face of mistress Haidee is so clear, signifying how impressed the woman was jutek and also forced. Despite her incredible wealth, Leona has a tremendous sadness. While Mr. Haidee, Papa Leona looks wise and loves her daughter very much. Even wanted to protect Leona. Evidently when Madame Haidee came in, she instead went out and asked that the car be prepared, as if knowing that Leona would definitely choose to go home directly when Mama came.
"Ethan's.... Stop the car in front..!!!" Leona Pinta.
"Why??? Do you want anything???" Ask Ethan.
"You get off and get in the car in the back, then you go back to the apartment and go home, your working hours are done, right???"
"We can go back to the apartment together, why do I have to go down and join the others in the back???" Ask Ethan again.
"Since I don't want to go home to the apartment, I want to go for a walk first, you can join the others and then go home.. "
"You want to go to the Fine Line???". Ask Ethan again.
" No....!!!"
"Oh, you must want to go to Miss Kaia's apartment, right???? I'll take you there then, then I'll go back to the apartment and go home.. "
"No Ethan, I don't want to go to Kaia's apartment, she's preparing to go on vacation tomorrow so I don't want to interrupt her... Stop, I want to go for a walk myself... If you don't want to join the others, I'll give you the fare and go home in a taxi.. " Said Leona who was getting annoyed with Ethan.
"Ethan, I need some alone time, let me go, you just go home.... You are my bodyguard and your duty is to obey my will... I won't demand any responsibility from my bodyguards if anything happens to me for my mistakes... So you don't try to argue with me.. "
"I'm not your bodyguard, I'm your friend, so as a friend I have to make sure you're okay and I have to take care of you, in friendship there can be no word of rejection, you're not doing well, I can't leave you alone...That's the friendship principle. I don't care if you don't want to talk about what happened today, but I hope you don't resist my desire to be with you.. "
"Ethan..????" Leona muttered.
Ethan picks up handsfree and he contacts his friend who is in the back car. "Hello Tom, Miss Leona told you to go back to the apartment first and then go home to change the night, because I just fatan6siang last night then my schedule until midnight.. " Say Ethan and his friend agreed and understood Ethan's intention they would go to the apartment and change shifts. Ethan ended his call.
"Ethan...!!!! Why are you doing this??? I want to be alone.. Why not understand too???" Leona Protest.
"You can sit by yourself but I'll keep an eye on you from afar... You're not doing well.. I know it.. " ethan disputes.
"Ethan, it's okay you only work half the time today, and it's time you rest, you might have an appointment with someone, so let me go... "
"I don't have an appointment with anyone, you shut up and let your friend take you for a walk.. "
Ethan takes Leona away. He doesn't know where to go but he will try to find a good place that will make Leona feel better. While Leona is just him and resigned, she can't argue with Ethan because Ethan brought their friendship.
★★★
For almost two hours Ethan took Leona around the streets. Ethan didn't ask anything about what happened. And Leona just stared at the street through the car window. Every now and then the woman's tears trickled but Leona quickly wiped her. Ethan hopes Leona feels better after taking all the weight out. Ethan also sends Gemma a message to cancel their meeting tonight, Ethan can't leave Leona alone.
Ethan is actually waiting for Leona to start talking to him, venting or anything else that can make Leona feel better. Ethan did not dare to ask and wished Leona herself to say so. She felt very sorry for Leona, the burden of the woman was so heavy, let alone facing the person who had given birth to her. Whether it had reached the limit of patience possessed by Leona, so that he could survive so far.
"We've been going around, you must be hungry, how about we find a restaurant and dinner????" Ask Ethan. "Ahhh don't worry I will treat you.. How's it???" Say Ethan again to melt the atmosphere.
"I'm not hungry... " Switch Leona.
"But I'm so hungry hehehe.."
"If you're hungry just get down and go home, let me take my own car..."
"I'm not hungry then.... I can't let you drive alone, you just seem out of focus, and then an accident happens.. " Tell Ethan. "Look, how about you go to my apartment, I have our monopoly on playing monopoly or playing cards??? You haven't been to my apartment either, have you??? Yes, although it is small, but you will definitely like it, and I also have good wine, before I went to the fine line with you yesterday, I bought it to celebrate that I've been accepted to work, I wanted to invite my friend but I haven't had time, so how about I just celebrate with you???" Ask Ethan. Leona was silent.
Ethan tries to melt the atmosphere but it turns out that it doesn't work enough. But he had no choice, he had to make Leona feel better. Ethan turns his car around and heads towards his apartment. He'll take Leona there and take care of the woman. Ethan knows Leona definitely doesn't want to go back to her apartment, so better Ethan find another way to cheer up the poor woman.
