Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Permission From Steven

“Are you sure you want to hear it right out of my mouth? I suggest to you, you better not know because the one who will be ashamed is yourself later,” said Steven smiled obliquely. 

Actually nothing happened between them last night. Steven was just trying to prank Fiona because last night Fiona continued to hug her body tightly so that made Steven confused with Fiona's unconscious behavior.

Fiona was silent for a moment after hearing Steven's words. “I'm sorry Steve. I'd better sleep in the guest room tonight. I'm afraid I'm doing something you shouldn't,” Fiona said slowly.

Steven looked at Fiona for a moment. “I'll have the waiter clean the guest room,” Steven said as he sat on the edge of the bed while tidying up his shirt.

“Steve?” call Fiona who has already switched her eyes back on him.

“Hhmm.”

“Today, I plan to meet my friend.”

“Male or female?” steven asked as he squinted his eyes.

“Two. Maybe I'll be home in the afternoon.”

Steven raised his face then looked at Fiona who seemed to be standing not far from him while squeezing her hands. She felt like she was asking her husband for permission. “Alright, I'll ask Doni to drop you off.”

Fiona immediately flanged strongly. “No need Steve. I can take a taxi.”

Steven stared intently at Fiona. ”I will not let you go if you are not delivered by Doni,” Steven said firmly.

“But steve...” Fiona's mouth opened and her hand hung as she wanted to argue, but it had already been cut off first by Steven's remark

“Go with Doni or not at all.” Steven looked at Fiona with a sharp look.

Fiona immediately shrieked. He was going to protest, but he paused when he saw Steven's gaze. He then lowered his hand and let out a smooth breath. “Alright, I'll go with Doni,” Fiona said resignedly when she saw the face of Steven who seemed not to be denied. Fiona felt she could not win if she argued with Steven.

Steven stood up. "I'm going to tell Doni to come here. You take a shower first. Your change of clothes is walk in closet, in the last closet,” point Steven before he walks out to the door.

“Thank you, Steve.”

“I will wait for you below to have breakfast together,” said Steven who had grabbed the doorknob and then closed it after hearing Fiona's reply.

Fiona walked towards the dining room after she finished taking a shower. Steven, Erick, and Doni were sitting at the dinner table.

“Sit down,” Steven said as he watched Fiona walk towards the dining table.

Fiona nodded and sat down across Steven.

“You will meet your friend where?” steven asked as he spooned the food into his mouth without looking at Fiona.

Fiona stopped the movement of her hand that was pouring food into her plate after hearing Steven's question. “In the cafe, but brother Leon asked me to go to his house, and pick up Jesi later. So, Doni just deliver me to Leon's brother's house,” Fiona explained while staring at Steven

Steven stared at Fiona flat. “You don't need to go to the man's house. You can pick up your girlfriend and meet her at cafe.”

Erick and Doni looked at each other when they heard his boss sayings. There was a big question mark on their minds when they heard the conversation Fiona and Steven especially after hearing the words of his boss who forbade Fiona to go to another man's house. In silence they noticed the expression of his boss who seemed to be staring intently at Fiona.

“But, I have promised with brother Leon will be there first,” said Fiona.

“Follow my words or you can't go,” Steven said firmly.

The atmosphere turned cold. Erick's brows fused when he heard Steven's words. Erick who had been with Steven for a long time felt a little surprised by the attitude of his boss. He feels that Steven treats Fiona like his girlfriend. Evidently, when he forbade Fiona to meet other men.

Doni and Erick glanced at each other without saying anything. They were still silent while researching every move of his boss. They did not dare to make the slightest sound.

Steven wiped the corner of his lips after he finished eating. “Good. I'm leaving now." Steven stood up, followed by Erick and Doni who had already finished their breakfast as well.

“Be careful Steve,” said Fiona who is signed by Steven. Fiona follows Steven's steps as he is seen walking out of her mansion.

Steven and Erick paused right next to Doni who was seen standing with a slight bow. “Make sure you drive him to the cafe. Keep an eye on him and report to me later,” Steven said quietly without turning to Doni. Fiona only watched from a distance as Steven stopped appearing to speak to Doni. Fiona was wondering what

“Good Sir,” said Doni as he bowed before Steven walked towards his car followed by Erick behind him.

Fiona just looked at Steven's departure from the doorstep. After Steven's car is no longer visible, Fiona decides to go with Doni. Not to forget he told Leon to meet directly at the cafe.

After finishing picking up Jesi, Fiona headed straight to the cafe. Arriving there, it looks Leon has arrived first. He wore a white shirt suit with the sleeves of a shirt rolled up to his elbows combined with dark blue jeans. Leon looks cool today especially when he smiles, looks two dimples deep adorned his handsome face. It made anyone who saw it melt because of that sweet smile.

“You've arrived?” leon asked as he saw Fiona and Jesi walking towards him.

“Iyaa,” Fiona and Jesi replied in unison while sitting on an empty seat.

“Sorry, I didn't stop by your house. Mom asked me to go with the driver,” Fiona told a lie. He felt bad about not going to Leon's house.

Leon smiled sweetly. “It's okay, the most important thing we can meet here,” Leon said as he looked at Fiona's face that looked guilty.

“But, since when did you change driver?” jesi asked with a frowned. Jesi felt herab when she saw Doni's foreign face earlier. Jesi is Fiona's closest friend, so she knows something about Fiona including the driver who used to drive her.

“Emmhh, that old new driver of Jes is now the driver of Cindy.” Fiona accidentally covers up Doni's true identity. He is not ready to tell Jesi because there is a Leoan presence there.

Jesi mangut. “What message do you want?” leon asked as he looked at the two women in front of him.

“As always, sis,” replied Jesi who is possessed by Fiona. Leon immediately called the cafe employees and ordered their favorite food if they were gathered at the cafe. After their order came, they continued to talk.

“So, what will you do now, Fio?” leon asked as Fiona was sipping her drink.

Fiona looked up for a moment. “That's why I haven't thought about it either.”

“Are you going to continue your post-serjan education?” jesi asked as she looked at the confusion on Fiona's face.

“It looks like I have to take a temporary leave of absence. Papa's company must need me because all this time I've been helping papa manage his company. You know yourself sister Cindy can only spend money without wanting to get involved in the company business,” said Fiona while putting french fries in her mouth.

Leon raised his coffee cup then took a sip. “If there is anything you do not understand, you can ask me. I'll try to help you as much as I can,” bargain Leon. Leon is the owner of the largest mall in the city of J. He also has resorts and tourist attractions located in the cities of B and D.

Fiona smiled sweetly. “Thank you brother. I will definitely trouble you a lot in the future because I also do not understand much about managing my own company.”

“No problem. I'm glad I could help you. You don't have to bother me,” Leon said while enjoying his meal.

“How about we go to the mall? I haven't been out for a long time. My brain seems tired because it is too often used to think hard,” said the shoulder-haired woman with a slightly filled body, round eyes and slightly chubby cheeks. Jesi has several restaurants spread across the capital.

“Better we go to my mall alone, it is more convenient than to other places,” proposed Leon when seeing the face tangled Jesi.

“I agree once, you spend us, brother. You have not invited us to go to your mall for a long time,” pinta Jesi lightly.

As his cousin, Jesi often asks Leon for various kinds. Leon never objected to Jesi's request. Leon, who has no siblings, already considers Jesi like his own sister. He also often complies with Jesi's requests.

Leon nodded slowly. “Alright, finish your food first, after that we just go for a walk to my appearance." Leon watched Jesi who seemed to have not stopped putting food in her mouth. While Fiona just smiled looking at Jesi's child-like behavior that was chewing with her mouth full of food. 

Fiona and Jesi immediately nodded in delight. Because it has become their habit if Leon has invited him. All their requests will be obeyed by Leon, including Fiona's request.

Seriate...
