Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 40. Disturbances

Zoe is currently in the hotel feeling bored. His work to help the Eiger should have been done. He wants to go back to his hometown. However, while passing through the guard door, some bodyguards forbade him to come out before his master returned.

Zoe had tried repeatedly to contact Eiger, but the man did not answer.

"Huft, I'm tired! The nobility has always been guarded this tight, huh?"

There was no incoming call from Eiger, but he got an incoming message from the man. Eiger asks her to get ready because tonight the man is taking her to dinner. In addition, Eiger also promised to take him for a walk.

Zoe was so happy that the man took her out. Soon she returned her phone to prepare the dress she was going to wear.

"Hemm, why am I so happy? Is it because I never left the room? Ah, no problem. What matters is that Eiger wants to take me out."

As the time promised, the Eiger arrived. He was very neat and looked very good looking as a noble of the Willard family.

"I'm sorry, I can't pick up your call. I'm working on some projects with Uncle. I don't want any mistakes."

"Yes. Doesn't matter. Oh yeah, where are you taking me?"

"Romantic dinner. That's also if you like."

Zoe couldn't resist. Even though she's only been Cinderella for a while, at least she's really enjoying the role.

"Hemm, okay. Oh yeah, did my performance disappoint?"

The Eiger looks from head to toe. No one's in trouble. Everything's perfect.

"No. You're beautiful tonight" praised Eiger.

Eiger and Zoe had no idea that this time wherever they went was always being watched by a few people. One of them is from Biana's man who does not accept that Eiger is in a relationship with another woman.

In anticipation, Blerim secretly sends a bodyguard to his nephew. At least if there is any problem, everything can be passed easily. Eiger's responsibility is not just as a child. However, he carries a name and a great responsibility.

This time, Eiger uses his car to carry Zoe without bodyguards in front of the hotel room.

"Eiger, are you sure without an escort?"

Zoe is horrified that something is threatening her or the Eiger. Moreover, in the last few days he tried to monitor social media that there had been an intermafia attack. Some people were also involved in the attack.

"Why? You scared?"

"Yes, Eiger. I'm so scared. The last few days have been horrible."

"That's common, Zoe. The business world is connected to the mafia world. Not a secret anymore. You scared?"

Zoe could not imagine that suddenly her journey was interrupted by the sound of gunfire or battle.

"Have you ever experienced it firsthand?"

Eiger recalls the events of that night. After his encounter with Zoe at the lake. Mission to rescue two of his mafia-held uncles.

"That's terrible, yeah. Are you okay, Eiger?"

"As you can see. I'm healthy and good, aren't I?"

The comfort that Zoe gives the Eiger is different. Eiger is in a relationship with Biana, unlike Zoe. Eiger can be open with this girl about all her problems. Eiger is interested in getting to know Zoe further.

"Ah, I can't imagine if we were in such a position, Eiger. I could be shocked and afraid to do anything."

"Hemm, don't you believe me?"

Apparently talking to Zoe made Eiger realize one thing. Zoe is a smart girl and has extraordinary abilities. Although she looked like an ordinary country girl, in fact her thoughts were quite broad. Eiger salutes him.

"You're right. Are we going to keep talking like this?" ask Eiger when his car gets to a restaurant.

Eiger gets off to help Zoe get out of the car. He treated the girl like a princess.

Eiger has prepared a pretty comfortable place. He chose the balcony of a restaurant that was purposely reserved specifically for Zoe. In addition, the beautiful view of space on the balcony was clearly visible at night.

"Eiger, this is too fancy!" exclaim Zoe.

Throughout his life, it was only the first time Zoe had lived such a luxurious life.

"No problem. You're good and deserve all this."

There was a sense of pleasure in the tone Eiger said to him. That means this friendship will run smoothly.

Some food on his desk. In addition, there were some deliberately beautifully decorated flowers there. Not only that, there is something special dedicated to Zoe.

A bouquet of red roses that Eiger presented to her. The flower was deliberately prepared to be given to the girl who was in front of him at this moment.

"Eiger, this is too much."

Eiger showered many gifts on the girl. In addition, something special was given to him. A diamond ring is very expensive.

"Eiger, what's this for?"

"Gift to a special woman" he answered briefly.

Eiger is a good guy, sometimes he's very mysterious. However, this time he was passing well according to Zoe.

"It's not a bribe for my fare to go home, is it?" joked Zoe.

"No, Zoe. If you want, there are many other gifts."

Zoe is not greedy. He only receives gifts directly from the Eiger's hands. However, the romantic dinner that was planned, suddenly came chaos.

Biana suddenly asked to join the Eiger. He threatened the restaurant staff to let him in.

The staff were confused to find a good reason to reject him, but Biana assured them that Eiger had invited him here.

"Master, we're sorry. Your show gets disrupted like this" said one of the staff.

"Hey, if you speak the truth! I was invited here too. Is that right, Mr Eiger?"

Yes, Zoe also knew who the woman who was currently disturbing her dinner was. According to Eiger's story, he was his ex-lover who accidentally broke up when he found out that the Eiger was a man whose origins are unclear. In addition, Biana's goal of approaching the Eiger is only for her personal interests.

Eiger needs to take a stand. He could not allow Biana to become a shadow of her past.

"Can you please call the guards?" ask Eiger.

"Ehm, could you sir."

Not long after, several guards were already standing there. For Biana, the way used to pursue the Eiger is very kampungungan once. However, how else if this is the right way to reclaim Eiger's love for her.

"Please drag the woman out! I have no interest in him!" eiger said firmly.

The guard did his job. Biana rebelled. He also uttered threatening words that would make the Eiger look one eye away.
