Rihan suddenly stopped the movement of his hand, making Neo open his eyes and look at Rihan. The two stared at each other in silence.
Till....
Plucci
Rihan resentfully clapped Neo's head with a compress bag in his hand.
"Do yourself! I want to take a shower" Rihan put the compress bag in Neo's hand and left.
"Truly rude," Neo murmured and then compressed himself a bruise on his cheek.
After taking a shower, Rihan was tidy with his casual clothes. Looking at the clock on the nightstand, it was already 8 in the morning, and breakfast time was over. However, given the large number of refugees in his mansion, Rihan finally rushed downstairs to have breakfast. Neo himself was busy bathing or getting dressed, Rihan did not care.
Arriving at the dining table everyone was ready in their respective places added Dom who sat next to Brand. Rihan slightly frowned at the sight of Brand's disheveled face and Dom's restrained smile.
"Did something happen?" Rihan asked before sitting in his chair.
"The boss lost a bet with me, sir." Dom answered with the spirit of four five.
"Betc?"
"Yes. We bet on who will win in the sparring earlier. And I support you, sir."
"Hm. What bet?" Rihan asked in curiosity.
"Holiday for a week."
"Pretty good. Congratulations on the defeat, brother."
"Since when have the losers been congratulated?" Cibir Brand Lesuh's. Rihan did not reply just shrugging his shoulders no matter what.
"I'll call Mr. Neo." Alex said when it's almost 5 minutes but Neo hasn't shown up for breakfast yet.
"Hm."
"I'm right here. Sorry to keep you waiting," Neo just came up with a big smile and sat down in his place.
Breakfast went well without any commotion from Neo and Brand.
After breakfast, everyone does their job. Brand had to go to his office to work. Not to mention because he lost, the man had to take care of everything himself without Dom's help.
Before leaving, the man asked Rihan for permission to stay a few more days in the mansion. Neo who heard it strongly disagreed. Unfortunately, he was not the owner of the mansion. Rihan just ignored Neo and gave Brand permission.
Max also has a class at 9 a.m. Neo himself, the man doesn't want to go to work. He just followed Rihan from the dining table to the study. Neo keeps nagging because Rihan allowed Brand to stay here. Logan could only massage his temple because he felt that Neo's behavior was very strange.
Although Rihan had already expelled Neo, but the man did not leave at all. Rihan's threat was not taken at all. Rihan ended up just letting Neo do what he wanted, because that was indeed his nature. Always arbitrarily.
Seeing Rihan busy with the files in front of him, Neo also asks Logan to bring all his work to Rihan's workspace. The two ended up working there quietly. Every now and then they would stop just to glance at each other.
They continue to work until lunch. The two stop because Alen calls for lunch. After lunch the two returned to Rihan's study.
Until 5 p.m., Rihan's mobile phone vibrated to shift his focus and also Neo who was sitting on the sofa of the study. The distance of the sofa with Rihan's desk is about 10 meters.
"Female fox?" Rihan muttered reading the name of the caller on his phone.
"Who's calling?" Ask Neo curiously.
Rihan only stared at Neo for a while and then answered the phone from the female fox or an Ariana. Rihan wondered what Ariana wanted.
"Hi, Young Master."
"I'm busy. I'll hang up."
"You'll regret closing it down, Young Master." Ariana's voice sounded very relaxed. Rihan who heard it frowned.
"Tell me what you want,"
"I want you to be my lover."
"Don't that sound cheap?" Rihan's voice sounded cold. Rihan also glanced at Neo who put on a curious face and walked up to him.
"I don't care. What I want, must be accomplished. If you don't want to..." Ariana's voice was hanging.
"Mmmmmmmmmm..."
Rihan frowned at hearing the voice of someone whose mouth was closed, so his voice sounded indistinct.
"Who are you holding Ariana hostage?" Guess Rihan stayed calm.
"You are indeed a great Young Master. Just hearing it, you know if I'm holding someone hostage. Haha... If you are not here, and accept me as your lover, then say goodbye to this j. One more. You yourself must come, Young Master."
After saying that, Ariana disconnected the phone.
"Who's holding who?" Neo asked who eavesdropped a little on the phone earlier.
Rihan did not respond to Neo. Rihan then presses the button under the table and it doesn't take long, Alex rushes into his study.
"Do you need anything, sir?"
"Where is Rihan now?" Rihan asked as he operated on his laptop opening a cctv recording at Antarik University.
"I'll ask the shadow guards, sir." Alex then took his phone to contact someone.
"no need. Track Rihan's whereabouts. Ariana is in charge of it" Rihan said while watching the cctv footage an hour ago on the campus toilet where Ariana and her two friends had Beatrix come out of there.
"What's? Sorry for the carelessness of the guards, sir."
"I don't want to hear that. Find out where Ariana took Rihan."
"Okay, sir,"
Rihan can only shake his head because of Ariana's behavior. The fox began to do his reckless actions again.
Ariana didn't want to do this. He originally only wanted to bully Beatrix like Rihan used to. However, after he called Beatrix's lover Mentra and complained about Beatrix's behavior, even Ariana added a lot of spice to make Mentra jealous and release Beatrix, but Mentra's easygoing answer made Ariana resentfully throw her phone into disrepair.
Eventually, Ariana changed her plans, taking Beatrix hostage in order for Young Master Rehhand to be her lover.
The shadow guard assigned to guard Beatrix, will just wait outside the campus. They do not go inside because they think nothing will happen on campus.
Not to mention, Beatrix could take care of herself. Unfortunately, who is Ariana is even more cunning. The fox told a canteen employee to mix the stomach pain medication on Beatrix's drink so the girl had to stay in the toilet for a long time until she was limp.
"What's with that girl named Rihan?" Ask Neo who Rihan is still ignoring.
"He who has the exact face of you? Who said your lover?" Neo stares at the memicing on Rihan who is busy watching the cctv footage on his laptop.
"Be quiet, Brother." Said Rihan flat.
"Didn't that girl have a boyfriend? Why are you so worried about him? Ask her boyfriend to look for her. Ck... You seem to like the girl," Cibir Neo was annoyed.
"I like it or not it's none of your business, brother." Reply Rihan relax.
"He belongs to someone else. Why do you still care about him?" Pissed Neo.
"You want him to be a man's lover or a man's wife, if I want to help him, what's his business with you, brother? Brother Neo has no right to forbid me." Rihan stared at Neo. This man rebuked him without knowing the circumstances.
"But..."
"Shut up!"
"Actually who do you like? Ira or that girl Rihan? Don't be Rei's playboy..." Neo's voice was slightly raised.
"That's my business. Whatever I want to be, it has nothing to do with you, brother. Ira I've considered myself a sister."
"What is all the attention you give her? What if he likes you? Isn't it the same as you hurt her?"
"Then what about Neo himself? What has Neo been up to all this time?"
"What measures? and to whom?" Neo did not understand.
"That's it. I'm lazy to argue."
"This is where Ariana took Rihan, sir." Alex shows Rihan his phone. Alex's words stop Neo from speaking.
"Come there! Prepare everything, because Ariana can do reckless." Rihan stood up and moved on from there without any concern for Neo.
"Good, Sir."
"Remember to lock all the doors so that no one gets out of here" Rihan's orders for not wanting Neo or the others to catch up to Ariana's place.
"Hey... Why lock it?" Neo asks while yelling because Alex locked the door so Neo can't get out of Rihan's study.
Rihan didn't care about Neo's screams. He glanced at her appearance which looked very relaxed.
"You don't want to change clothes, sir?" Alex asked while looking at Rihan who only wears oversized t-shirts and long cargo pants.
"We don't have much time. Is my bike ready?" Rihan asked as they entered the elevator towards the first floor.
"You're gonna use a motor?" Wonder Alex.
"Yes. You take the car with the medical team just in case."
"Ready, Sir." Alex quickly sends a message to the garage keeper to get Rihan's motor out.
***
"Please sit down, Young Master." Ariana said with a sweet smile to let Rihan sit down.
Rihan was calmly sitting on the chair opposite Ariana. Not to forget, Rihan noticed the empty room of the damaged building on the outskirts of the forest behind Antarik University.
Alex and the others have been keeping watch outside and inside the room but in the shadows to avoid being caught.
"Take off Rihan because I'm here" Rihan opened his voice without looking at Ariana who had been staring at him.
"I want a written agreement as my lover, so that no trouble will occur in the future." After saying that, two of Ariana's friends came out while carrying Beatrix who looked very weak.
"You know Ariana, everything you do is just an obsession. You should realize that your actions have gone too far." Rihan turned to look at Beatrix who was smiling weakly at him. Beatrix's face also looked pale with both cheeks flushed from a slap.
"I don't care! Whatever I want I have to get, even if I have to sacrifice others."
Brucks
Both of Ariana's friends violently took off Beatrix until the girl fell to her knees and grimaced in pain.
"Please sign the agreement on this seal, Young Master. If not..." Ariana then pulled the hair of Beatrix kneeling right next to her. Beatrix was silent. He believed in Rihan. Not to mention, Beatrix could find several shadow bodyguards hiding in every corner of the room.
"If you were my lover, what would you do?" Rihan's question looked at Ariana with both hands folded on her stomach.
"Share to the world that you're my lover." Ariana's voice sounded very proud.
"Truly naive," Reply Rihan while shaking his head.
"We don't have much time, Young Master." Ariana with her hands pulled Beatrix's hair back up until her head looked up. Ariana pulled out a small knife and pointed it at Beatrix's neck.
"A drop of his blood flows, then your life drifts, Ariana!" Rihan's voice was full of emphasis while staring intently at Ariana.
"You have no right to threaten me now Young Master. Here, I'm the one in charge!" Ariana pressed the sharp object intending to scratch Beatrix's neck.
Dor.
"Akhn..."
Before the knife stuck perfectly to Beatrix's neck, a bullet whizzed through Ariana's arm, sending the knife out of her hand. Ariana held her hand while grimacing in pain.
"You're just a little mouse that's no match for me." Rihan stood up and helped Beatrix. Both of Ariana's friends could only stare fearfully at Rihan because Ariana's arms were bleeding heavily.
"You should be grateful that your crime 3 years ago is still kept tight. It was not yet in the hands of the media. This time I'll give you a chance to change your way of thinking" Rihan said flatly and pushed Beatrix to the exit.
"You think you can get out of this room freely? Haha... If I can't make you my lover, then no one else can." Ariana then took a gun out of nowhere she got it and shakily pointed it at Rihan's back.
Rihan and Beatrix who were still at the door immediately turned around. Rihan remained calm and stared flat at the gun in Ariana's trembling hands.
"Are you sure the gun will hit the target?" Rihan's belittling voice infuriated Ariana.
"You think I can't use this gun?" Ariana said with emotion. Although his arm was injured, but he was forcefully holding the gun with both hands.
