"Joe, find a house we can rent for a while. I want to stay here until the girl is completely destroyed and willing to return to the Mansion" Marcello said as she left Nilam's home.
"Good, Sir."
Joe followed Marcello's footsteps as he walked toward his car. After the man got into the car, Joe immediately followed him. One of the Bodyguards approached Joe who was sitting in front of the steering wheel. He talked to the man through the car glass that was still wide open.
"How, Master?"
"Try asking the people around here, who would be willing to rent their house to Mr. Marcello. Tell them that we are willing to pay dearly as long as they are willing. And if they still don't, then threaten them. I'm sure none of the citizens would dare to look at your rogue face" Joe said.
The bodyguard's face looked sour when he heard Joe say his face was sad. Though the truth is, Joe's face is not less sad than them.
"Good, Sir."
The bodyguard walked away from Joe's car. He was seen discussing with other Bodyguards until finally they began to approach the houses of the residents to ask about the rental of the house for a while.
It turns out that it is not as easy as they think, looking for residents who are willing to rent their homes even with the lure of expensive payments. Until finally there was a citizen who was willing to rent his house, but the distance was quite far from the residence of Bu Nilam. Bodyguard came back to Joe's car, then told him about it.
"How, Master? The house is quite far from her Mother Fattan's residence and you can't monitor Miss Marissa at all times" Joe asked.
Marcello seemed to think hard and after that he nodded his head even though he looked a little disappointed. "All right, take care of everything immediately."
"Good, Sir."
They immediately left the residence of Ms. Nilam and headed for the house that would be occupied by Marcello for a while.
"Fiehhhh!!! Finally they left as well" Marissa murmured as she wiped the sweat pouring from her temple.
Since then the girl just stood by the window, peeking at Marcello and his men. He was relieved that the man was gone and he hoped that Marcello would never see him again.
"They're gone, son?" asked Ms. Nilam with a pale face.
"Yes, Mom."
Marissa lowered her head while squeezing her hands in turn. He felt guilty, because of himself, now Fattan was an easy target for the men.
"I'm sorry Marissa, Mom. Because of Marissa, you have to deal with Mr. Marcello" said Marissa without daring to look at the middle-aged woman's face.
Ms. Nilam approached Marissa and grabbed Marissa's body. "It's okay, son. Mr. Marcello didn't hurt us anyway."
"I'm sorry Marissa, ma'am." Marissa hugged Nilam's body and somehow felt so comfortable in her arms.
"Yes, Honey. It's okay" said Ms. Nilam, gently rubbing Marissa's head.
"Sir Fattan, hug me!" he asked, extending a hand to Fattan. Fattan just kept getting away from the girl.
"Eh, don't be the same Fattan, can't! Here, just like Mom," invited Miss Nilam to Erika.
As fast as lightning the girl snatched the arms of Miss Nilam. He hugged Nilam and Marissa very tightly together.
"Erika! You're going to kill me, yeah! I can't breathe!" marissa complained while releasing the girl's embrace.
"Sorry!"
Meanwhile.
Marcello and Joe were already in the house that the man was going to be occupying for a while. Until he manages to melt Marissa's hard heart like a rock and takes the girl home with him.
"You'd better go home, Joe and take the Bodyguards with you" Marcello said.
"But, Mister. Are you sure you live here alone?" joe asked while linking his eyebrows looking at the man.
"Yes, I'll be fine. Don't you think I can't survive in this village, yeah! Marissa alone can, my time as a man can not?! How humiliating!" sahutya.
Not daring to refute the words of his boss, Joe finally nodded his head.
"Alright, Sir. Me and the Bodyguards will return to the City. But, if you need anything, call me right away" Joe said.
They just don't know that in the village there is no signal and hopefully, the Author is not kilaf anymore with this one.
That night, Joe and his Bodyguards returned to town.
"Joe, please take care of the company and the Mansion while I'm still here. I entrust everything to you and I promise I won't stay here for long, at most two days, my Icha will definitely melt into me."
Marcello was so sure when he said it. While Joe only beards, even though deep in his heart, he is not sure of the man's words. Joe knows how Marissa is, a stubborn girl who can't possibly just melt away.
"Alright, Sir. Good luck."
After saying goodbye, Joe immediately slid with his men, leaving Marcello alone in the place.
"After we make it out of this village, we should find lodging. I'm so tired" Joe lamented to his Bodyguard.
"Ready, Master!"
