It's been three days, Irene's been locked up in this house. For what Irene was in Melbourne if her presence was only to occupy a luxurious house almost rivaled the mansion. And yes, Zean is missing. For three days there was no word from the stranger, Irene always tried to contact him but he never answered his call.

Honestly, Irene herself did not understand what she was feeling at the moment. What he felt at this moment was annoyed, angry and disappointed either because Zean was indeed annoying or there was a feeling of longing because Zean was lost without news.

"Miss, you've been eating irregularly for the past three days. Mr. Lorwerth could be angry if he knew this" Linzy said, bringing lunch to Irene, who was sitting facing a large window in her room.

"He can be angry you say?" Irene turned her head, looking at Linzy who put food on the table.

"Does he still care about me? Even you know, I always try to reach her, but she never answers my calls" Irene lamented.

"Mr.Lorwerth is very busy, miss. Miss must be patient as her lover-"

"I'm not her boyfriend, even now I'm starting to feel like I'm not her secretary. But I'm his prisoner, I'm like his pet you have to look after, I'm not even allowed out of this house" Irene said.

Irene was fed up, completely fed up with all the Zean games. Where is that guy? Why didn't he answer Irene's phone? It sucks!

"I'm sick of it, Linzy. Tonight I'm going back to Boston" Irene broke up.

"But Miss, Mr. Lorwerth would definitely be very angry if-"

"I don't care" Irene cut.

"Miss, please, don't make it difficult for me. If you don't care about Mr. Lorwerth, at least please care about me as your person in charge here. I could lose my job if you go back to Boston right now, I could even be killed if something happened to you" Linzy said.

Irene was speechless looking at Linzy with her hopeless face, what was that cruel Zean?

Irene sighed, then smiled looking at Linzy. "Alright, I'm following. It's because I care about you"

Linzy smiled, it turned out that Irene was a good girl and cared a lot.

"Thank you, Miss"

🍂🍂🍂

Linzy knocked on the door of Irene's room, then entered after hearing Irene's voice allow her to enter. This afternoon, Irene was standing on the balcony staring at the sky which was soon bringing time to the beautiful color of the dim twilight sky.

"Miss, you need to be prepared. I got a call to tell you that you have to see a client, this is Mr. Lorwerth's order" Linzy explained.

Irene turned to look at Linzy with a lazy look.

"Why didn't the man call me to tell me straight away?" ask Irene.

"Mr.Lorwerth is very busy at the moment, miss. And the one who called me to tell you was not Mr. Lorwerth, but his subordinate" Linzy replied.

"Whatever, I'm lazy, don't care, and don't want to know" Irene said.

"Ready, miss. Someone will come to pick you up later, meet that client and don't disappoint Mr. Lorwerth" Linzy said.

'Tok.tok..' came the sound of knocking on the door, Irene and Linzy turned their heads. At the door was another servant carrying two large paper bags.

"Excuse me, Miss" said the waiter.

"Meet me, I'm Anna. I'll help you dress up, miss" she said, then handed Irene two large paperbags.

Irene knitted her eyebrows and grabbed the two paperbags, which contained a black dress and a pair of heels.

"Prepare, Miss" he said.

Irene who refused to rebel was silent and obeyed all the instructions from the servant. Irene headed to the bathroom to get ready and resigned to what would happen later.

"You look so pretty, Miss" praised Anna.

"Don't praise me like this, all women are beautiful, Anna" Irene humbled.

Then a man came to pick up Irene and directed her to get into the car immediately.

About thirty minutes passed, Irene finally arrived at a place that looked like a garden that was deliberately decorated beautifully. Glittering tumblr lights adorned the main road leading into the place, along the way Irene found a white rose lying just like that.

Wait, wait, white rose? Yes, white roses are Irene's favorite flower. Then how could these roses be left lying along the way?

Finally Irene took the stalk after stalk of the white rose lying along the main road while counting it.

".... 67"

"68"

"69.." count Irene, she had a little trouble with the dozens of rose stalks she was carrying at the moment.

"70"

"71"

"72. Done" he said.

Irene was confused, very confused, seventy-two stalks of white roses were collected. And at the same time, he reached the middle of the garden. But lonely, there was no one there, there is only a stretch of green grass and shady trees in the place with minimal lighting from the sparkling tumblr lights that adorn along the road Irene to reach the middle of the park.

Irene shook her head and looked at the seventy-two rose stems she had collected, the next moment suddenly someone closed Irene's eyes with both hands. Irene gasped in surprise.

"What are you doing, let me go!" panic Irene.

The man was silent, but the scent of his perfume was able to resuscitate Irene, the man who almost filled his entire brain and successfully upset him three days ago.

"I know it's you, Zean" Irene said for the first time she called the stranger's first name.

Zean smiled at Irene who called out her first name, then Zean put away her hand that closed Irene's eyes. At the same time, Irene opened her eyes, a tumblr lamp that was shaped into several letters lit up in the middle of the park. Irene began to read one by one the letters that make up the sentence "I miss you"

Irene smiled, seconds later she could feel Zean wrapping his hand around Irene's stomach and then kissing the curve of the girl's neck.

"I hope all these roses can make up for seventy-two hours of three days of time that I can't spend with you, Irene Banner" Zean whispered.

The deg! Irene had trouble controlling her fast-paced heartbeat. His face heated up, his cheeks flushed red upon hearing Zean whispers bewitching him at this moment. The strange feeling appeared again, Irene felt at ease in Zean's embrace, feeling happy with every little thing Zean did even the girl liked every sweet word Zean said.

Trouble Irene tried to realize herself to dismiss the thoughts of Zean, Irene was not easily lulled just by the attitude and words sweetener badboy style like Zean.

"You have to explain everything, Mr. Lorwerth" said Irene, recalling the incident that night as they headed to the airport, there was a car stalking them and there were two men who almost killed Zean and another, who saved Zean that night.

"Explain what?" ask Zean who's tightening her embrace.

"Who are you, Mr. Lorwerth?"
