By late afternoon, Rihan had just woken up from his sleep. Staring at the digital clock beside her bedside nightstand, it turned out to be 4pm, and she fell asleep for 2 hours. Rihan then heads to the bathroom and cleans up without Alen's help as he just doesn't want to disturb his current assistant.
About twenty minutes, Rihan came out of the bathroom and headed for a walk in closet and changed his clothes into men's casual clothes. After that, doing a little facial treatment, Rihan then headed to his study. Rihan sent Alex a message to meet with him and report on the shadow bodyguards' investigation for nearly a week.
It didn't take long, Alex was already in front of Rihan while carrying the map in his hand.
"The shadow guards have managed to gather everything we need, sir. Although there were no cctv recordings at the hospital at the time, but there were some irregularities they found that led them to these evidences.
The sister that Miss Ira told me about was Rine, while the man seemed to be a friend of Rine because from some of the data obtained, they were quite close. The two did the mission together. The man's full data is here, sir. For Rine alone, we couldn't get her personal data until now. Forgive us, Sir."
"Hm. What about the secret room?" Rihan asked calmly.
"Only a few people know the room. First, the person who designed the room. Second, Mr. Evan as the owner of the hospital, and lastly the doctor trust Mr. Evan. Of the three, only two people fall into the suspect category. After investigation, the first person turned out to have died 10 years ago. So, only 1 person remains. The doctor trusts Mr. Evan.
Of all that had happened, the doctor was just calm. But the shadow bodyguards caught her and gave her a slight threat so she confessed that she was only paid to pave the way for Rine and the man.
The doctor also gave a little leak that Rine will come in Indonesia, but whether that's when. He said Rine had prepared a plan that was believed not to fail this time, given the life of the stakes."
"Then, are there any signs of his existence?"
"The last position we know of is Japan. After that, we lost track of him again. Forgive us, Sir."
"You can come back."
"Okay sir, I'm saying goodbye."
"Wait on! Lex." Rihan said as Alex took a few steps to the door.
"What's up, Mister?"
"Where are the refugees?"
"In the living room, sir."
"good. Come back."
"Yes, Sir."
After Alex's departure, Rihan picked up her phone and called Phiranita to ask her to tell her the chronology of sexual abuse. And everything he told me was exactly the same as Brand told me. It's just that Phiranita is afraid of Brand because she thinks the man also raped her.
Not to forget, Rihan sent a photo of Rine to Phiranita to confirm the sister's face as well as the man in the doctor's suit. And Phiranita's answer matches what Rihan wants. After asking a few other things, Rihan then closed his call.
Later that night, after dinner, Rihan asks Brand to talk to him in his study. Rihan only asks Alex to take Neo to his room. Alen also goes with Rihan, while Logan and Max go back to their rooms, or do something else, I don't know.
"What are they going to talk about?" Neo asks Alex after seeing Rihan, Alen and Brand pass them to Rihan's study, while he and Alex stop at Rihan's bedroom door.
"That's none of your business. Please enter!" Alex answered after the door opened.
"Kh..." Decak Neo and go inside Rihan's room.
"He didn't even look at me at all" Neo muttered after slamming his body on Rihan's bed then closed his eyes.
...
In the room next to Rihan's, exactly the workspace of the owner of the mansion, two people were seen sitting face to face on the sofa of the room, while another one faithfully stood beside his master.
"I want all the evidence Brand has gathered." Rihan opened his voice without further ado after he and Brand sat down.
"Wait a minute, I'll have Dom bring the files here."
"okay."
Hearing Rihan's reply, Brand then picks up his phone and calls Dom. Brand's assistant does not believe that the boss is staying there because of how hostile Rihan and Brand are.
Brand just chuckles and tells him to come bring all the evidence to Rihan's mansion so he believes Brand is staying here.
"There's no need to worry, since Young Master Rehhand has already become my younger brother starting today. I'll tell you when you get here. L waited. Soon!" Brand ended their call.
"If I were Dom, I would definitely not believe that two people were originally hostile towards each other, no. More precisely, I am the one who is always looking for trouble with you so that many of my men who are well-trained people die in vain. How foolish I was to do that without knowing that your intentions turned out to be good to Ira. I'm sorry for that" Brand was a little embarrassed.
"Rabbit experiment?" Brand did not understand.
"Yes. I developed some technology and it's all being tested on your people. I'm sorry for that. If you want, I can compensate."
"No need. It was already their duty if they were to fall on the mission. They have signed a life and death contract with me so it doesn't matter. I just need to support their families while I still can."
"I understand. Let me come help their families to make up for this misunderstanding." Rihan glanced at Alen who had been standing straight beside him. Rihan's assistant did not want to sit down at all when it was allowed.
"no need. All of that is my responsibility" Reply Brand while shaking his head.
"I'm pushy! But if Brand doesn't want to, I can find them myself."
"You're really. I'll ask Dom later. Just wait!"
"okay."
Not long after, Alex walks into Rihan's study with Dom behind him, carrying two fairly thick maps in his hands. In front of Rihan and Brand, Alex takes the two maps in Dom's hand and puts them on the table. Dom also gave it to him after getting a nod of agreement from the Boss.
"Copy all that, and give the original back, Lex." Rihan looked at Alex.
"Why should I copy it?" Brand asked his forehead.
"That's hard work, Brand. Why give it all to me? Besides, we haven't known him for long. Isn't it too soon to trust me? What if I trick you?"
"I know clearly you're not that kind of person. So, no problem." Reply Brand and smile thinly.
"Take it, Lex." Rihan's orders and is taken by Alex. Rihan's assistant immediately picked it up then pulled the edge of Dom's shirt to go with him copying all of it in a machine already available in the corner of the room.
"You are different from most people. I salute you, "Brand can only shake his head in an inexhaustible manner with Rihan.
"Over the last few years, has Brand met Elle?" Ask Rihan.
"Absolutely not yet. I don't want to meet him either. I'm afraid she's gonna set me up again, or my feelings for her are gonna get harder to forget."
"What would you do if you met him?"
"Eitherway! Maybe teach him a little lesson without touching him."
"I understand."
...
In Rihan's room, Neo was agitated in bed because he had waited long enough for Rihan.
"What are they talking about? Why so long?" Neo muttered softly then got up and sat down while leaning on the head of the bed then picked up his phone and downloaded a random game and played it to ward off boredom.
In just five minutes, Neo had turned off his phone and placed it next to the nightstand.
"It's been almost an hour. Ck... Did I just follow? It would be weird if I went there. Nope-no." Neo murmured then scratched his non-itchy head.
"It's best to look around Rei's room maybe a little better" Inner Neo then got out of bed and headed for Rihan's walk in closet.
Half an hour later, Rihan walked into his room and did not see Neo there. According to Alex, Neo is in his room. Shrugging his shoulders unconcerned, Rihan headed for the bathroom wanting to clean himself up.
Entering the bathroom, Rihan headed towards the wastafel and stared at the reflection of his face in the mirror. When he was going to take the facial cleanser he used to wear, it was not there.
"There's no way Alen forgot to prepare it," Inner Rihan frowned.
Rihan turned around and looked at the glass room behind him that only displayed him. The room was a special bathtub with a glass wall where the person inside could see out, but the person outside could not see inside.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Rihan headed towards the door of the room.
