Sisterzones
Alia Plan

"It's a shame to see a grown man cry like that" Riki commented as she filled her plate.

Edward rubbed his eyes. "I'm so moved that Goddess Alia has come out of her room."

"Huh, all day yesterday we just ate from outside. Damn, who doesn't miss this meal." Aslan defended Edward even though he looked more normal today. "You have to adjust your expression to your big body, Dic."

Dichey enjoys her food with teary eyes. He wanted to cry more and more to hear Aslan's call that was still unchanged. Unlike them, Dichey rarely returned to this house. Alia's cuisine is one of her most missed.

Daniel, as usual, just kept listening. He glanced at the kitchen door where Alia came out a moment ago. Although it was deigned to leave the room, Alia blatantly avoided it.

"What about your studies, Dic?"

Dichey was more resigned when Riki also came to call him with the abbreviation. "I understand a little. The translator is excellent at teaching."

"Your translatorm's probably afraid you're gonna beat him up." Aslan.

"Yes, yeah. Must be scared." Edward shook his head.

Dichey scratched the back of her head while sighing. He did not reject the mockery. Some days he did ask to learn a language from his translator. It is very difficult if he continues to rely on the translator when going everywhere. Daniel also supported the idea.

"You should smile more so that they don't fear you" Daniel advised with his expressionless face.

The four men looked at Daniel like they saw a mistake.

"Gosh, you really gave me that advice?"

"I agree with his advice. But if Daniel says it, it's bullshit."

"I think you're the last person who would give such advice."

Daniel responded with a cold look. Indeed, compared to anyone, Daniel has always been a serious person. Seeing him smile was like a great rarity. Therefore they were often flabbergasted at any chance of seeing Daniel talk to Alia.

Dichey just laughed. In contrast to his burly body and frightening stature, he was actually just a gentle man with a soft heart. However, if you are already on dangerous terrain or when you become an exercise inspector, the gap is increasing. No wonder the translator was still afraid of him.

"I thought your problem with Alia was over. But it doesn't seem like it" Edward said. He noticed that Alia had rushed out as Daniel entered the kitchen.

Aslan and Riki both looked at Edward as if this was the last time they saw the man.

"No need to think about it" Daniel replied with a cold glare. His gaze glanced at Edward.

Once again Edward felt like cutting his own mouth that was too talkative. No wonder the two damn men nearby stared sadly as if they were sure of the date of his death.

Daniel doesn't pay attention anymore. Looking at the plate of bread and the glass of milk that Alia had brought when she came out earlier, she could guess where Alia was at the moment.

"Hey, Daniel. I always wanted to ask this. You're always busy at the office. It's hard to ask you directly there." Riki became more serious. He did not want to bring up his habit of not talking to Daniel after returning home, although of course that is the reason he never got this answer. "Have you ever had a problem with Rafka Alexan before?"

"Ah, yes. That's my question too. From what I checked, that guy never once pressed another company so blatantly. He just did it to us. The motive is also unclear." Edward joined the tour, not remembering that he almost got into trouble because of his words.

Daniel narrowed his eyes. "I've only just had one deal with Rafka Alexan. In this matter of course. I never felt in trouble with him. You also know we're very careful here."

"That's weird. Fortunately for us, the crisis has been resolved. That's why, Daniel. Can I not come to the office today?" Aslan grinned wide.

Daniel thought for a moment, then nodded. "Riki alone is enough."

Edward clapped his hands. It had only been a few days and he was already quite sick of going to that place. "Thank God. I'm tired too. Relax, I'm developing a new device, Daniel. Here, I won't be lazing around either."

"I'll help Dic then" Aslan said, not to be outdone.

Only Riki is surly here. He knew he was going to be the busiest assistant of the day.

...****************...

Alia smiled faintly. "You're not in your room. Of course I thought you were awake. Why are you sleeping in the library anyway? It's pretty cold."

Carla stretched out her muscles before sitting cross-legged in front of Alia who was coming along with her. "If I keep in the room. I won't wake up until the afternoon. Every morning I wake up and move here."

"You wake up that way every day?" ask Alia.

Carla yawns. It was hard to read the meaning of his expression that was still mixed with drowsiness. He did not answer. His gaze was shifted on Alia's phone that was nearby. "Have you got your phone back?"

Alia glanced at her phone then nodded. "Daniel gave it to him when he passed by in the kitchen. I'll go right after that."

"Stupid."

"Try saying that again." Alia pinched Carla's cheek with a strong pull. "You lied to Daniel last night. He climbed up the balcony."

Carla jumped away. He held her cheek that became red. Her pale skin was like filled with blood. He gave a look of horror to Alia. "Haish, don't pinch anymore. It hurts!"

Alia laughed a little. He offered the bread he had brought after promising not to do so again.

"I'm helping you. Did you get a good deal last night? You look pretty tired. And.. I thought you'd still lock yourself in the room again today" Carla said. He kept a safe distance from Alia's reach.

Alia smiled bitterly. There was nothing good about last night's conversation. Alia took a breath. "Daniel took my room key. Last night wasn't good either. We still have to execute that plan."

The worst plan Carla could think of.

"I've asked Ed to track him down. Just call him." Carla gave an explanation.

Alia nodded. He then checked his phone.

"I guess the guy's number is gone." Carla propped up her chin, chuckling.

Hearing that made Alia curious as well. It does. He did not find Kevin's number on his phone, nor the rest of their messages. Even so, Alia felt that this was not a big thing, so she did not mind it.

"good too. He was very disturbing then, right?" Carla continues to comment.

"From that, did you bring the woman's number?" ask Alia.

Carla rolled her eyes lazily. "I really hope you guys solved this last night. Let me tell you, getting this woman into your trouble will make it more complicated."

"Why is that? Is he so bad?" Alia looks doubtful.

"I've met a lot of people. He's pretty scary. His obsession with Daniel's sister is a little excessive." Carla shivers when she remembers the woman she meant.

Alia looked more doubtful. As he was still confused, his phone suddenly rang. "Ah, this is from Sister Wilda."

Without delay, Alia immediately picked up her phone. "Good morning, brother!"

Carla listened while eating her breakfast. Alia always activates her loudspeaker every time she receives a phone call.

Wilda wanted Alia to come in the inauguration day of the WR Coffee branch of Central City in two days. Alia looks surprised because it is not until a month Wilda told her to open a branch, but in a few days it will make the inauguration.

"Jeez, Alia. You really ask that? Have you forgotten the slogan WR Coffee? Fast and neat. Of course the opening of this branch could be completed quickly. Well, even so it must be a lot of thanks to Rin-Rin. He's been preparing this for the past month" Wilda said. Already his trademark spoke cheerfully quickly.

Carla was surprised to hear how she talked on the phone.

Alia and Wilda chatted for almost half an hour. Talk about a lot of things.

"It's a pity that I didn't see the Central City anniversary celebration a few days ago. Though it seems so exciting. I saw it on social media during that lantern flight. Real pretty. Ah, I'm so sorry I didn't go there that day." Wild complained.

Alia fell silent. When he remembered that day, he felt strange. At that time Alia was completely unaware of Daniel's gentle treatment. If he re-repeated that memory, Alia always cursed herself as an overzealous fool.
