It's been over one o'clock but the man hasn't shown up yet either. Alesya was still waiting at the edge of the bed. His feelings are raging, very curious to know how his mother is currently. Wanted to call the hospital but he remembered that his phone was left at the auction.
"Why hasn't he come yet, and I'd like to ask how my mother is doing."
Alesya had seen the clockwork repeatedly but the man had not appeared at all. Why, maybe the guy changed his mind. What if her mother wasn't saved until that happened.
While elsewhere. On the first floor of this magnificent building. In a room with dim and dim lighting, loud music also dominates. A man sits in a VVIP room with a long sofa and a large table filled with high-end intoxicating drinks.
He had already consumed two bottles of wine but did not make the man lose consciousness. Next to him were two friends who were each accompanied by his partner. The two friends threw eyes at each other with frowns. Then told one of his women to approach the cold man.
"I'll double your pay if you get close to him" he whispered to the woman on his left side. Same with his other friend.
The scantily clad woman was of course tempted by the offer, she could take a week off from her night job with that kind of money. But unfortunately the man they had to approach was not a random man. He's Axelo Novaldo Kingsley, the cold, untouchable tyrant of the business world. Let alone being close, a creature that is a female type must keep a distance with him at least one meter.
"Why are you still here, don't you want money?" marco asked as he stroked the cheek of the paid woman.
"Ma-want Sir, but .... "
"You dare to argue with me?! Do you want this smooth skin of yours that I've deformed for life?!"
Of course the woman's guts instantly shrieked, confused to choose between her life or skin. Yes, daring to approach Axel means having to be ready for his life to drift but if refuting two men it means ready to lose a limb maybe. They were crazy, hence their name was the Three Devils and one of them was the unforgiving Tyrant.
The two women finally gave up, they chose to lose their lives rather than lose a limb that would make them miserable for life.
While Axel still holds a Cristal glass in his hand that contains drinks. His gaze was fixed on the crowd of people who were dancing under the twinkling lights but his mind went nowhere. Precisely on the girl he bought from the auction place. He himself still could not believe why he was so interested in the girl, not because it was still as virgin as offered but the girl's eyes reminded him of someone. His blue eyes are like he's seen them.
"Sir, let us accompany you tonight" said the woman, though frightened but who has no interest in Axel. Although notoriously cruel but able to make women bend their knees to him. Too bad because based on rumors circulating, the man is not interested in the opposite sex but rather interested in each other.
Perhaps it was because he had never been seen with a woman, plus his ice-cold attitude towards the woman who approached him. Only the assistant was always there beside him wherever he went. That's why everyone thought there was something between Axel and the assistant.
Axel's blood boiled for a moment, seeing the woman******* it dared to approach him. His hand was getting tighter grasping Cristal's glass in his hand until it crumbled. The atmosphere in the room changed instantly. Danger, both women are in danger.
"Guards!! take them and throw them in the middle of the sea!" the eagle-eyed man commanded without further ado.
The two women immediately gathered on the floor hearing that. They just want money but why should it be thrown into the sea. Though their clothes were very open but still unable to make the man interested.
"Master forgive us, we promise we won't do that again. We're innocent, they've already told us sir." The two women were already frightened to see the bodyguards with large bodies approaching them.
Axel was unmoved in his place, he never retracted his words and he never forgave anyone. Four guards on standby there approached the two women who were roaring for forgiveness.
"Sir, please save us." The woman begged Marco.
Marko threw a wad of money at the two women and said, "Go, don't show your faces here."
"Thank you, Mister. Thanks." The two women of course should be grateful instead of being thrown into the sea and being a shark meal.
After driving all the women away, Marco and Jimi approach his best friend who looks like a lot of thought. Two claps landed on Axel's shoulders, who else if not his two annoying best friends. Just look at his behavior, already know that Axel does not like to be approached by women but they instead told the woman had approached him deliberately.
"Hi bro, what happened to your face that was bent earlier," Marco said without guilt.
"Are you tired of being my friend or want me to pull all my shares from your company" Axel said.
"Wait a minute, it's all Marco's ideas. I didn't go along, "let Jimi throw a mistake at Marco.
Tuk, Marco threw Snack in Jimi's face. Throw a stone and hide your hand. They should both be responsible. Not himself one. But Jimi even smiled wryly, he most dislikes being exposed to Axel tantrums that could have made his company plummet overnight.
"Hehehe .. sorry, you know that we were just kidding," Marco said with a horse smile.
"Keep your hand away." Axel stared intently at his friend's hand on his shoulder.
"Ok ok, sorry. We will not repeat again. We're just proving that people out there are not right."
Axel's forehead. While Jimi gave the code so that Marco did not say anything to Axel by waving his hand. Unfortunately, Marco, whose brain was minimal, did not understand at all and continued his speech.
"Do you know if people say you don't like women, yes they say you like men because all this time the only one close to you was Ken. They think you have a special relationship with your assistant." With Marco casually saying that, he did not see how Axel's jaw was hardened.
"You're finished, Marco," muttered Jimi who chose to stay away.
"Who said that?!" axel asked, his hands clenched tightly. The scar from the broken glass he didn't care.
"Everyone, they're talking about it behind your back. Uncle Jordan and aunty Jasmine also think that way, they always ask us if you and Ken have a special relationship."
"What's your answer then?!"
Jimi was already fingering his nape which was beginning to creep. Axel's aura of anger was already felt.
