Stranger's In Love
11|HE TOLD ME

Zean and Irene sat on the iron bench of the garden that night. Zean took off his suit and draped it on Irene's shoulder, the girl was cold.

Zean moved from his seat. "Come, go home"

Irene looked at Zean with a cold gaze then shook her head. "No, before you explain everything!"

Zean sighed and sat down next to the girl.

"Explain what?"

Irene looked at the man sitting beside her with a piercing glare.

"Why do I become your secretary if you don't need me?" lamented Irene.

Zean raised his eyebrows and smiled at the girl.

"I don't need you as a secretary, but I need you as my girl" Zean replied.

"Why are you like this to me? Can't you just let me live a normal life and work my way!" Irene was upset, Zean really sucks.

Zean smiled looking at the pretty face of Irene who looked so angry at him.

"Are you angry?" ask Zean.

You idiot, what kind of question is that? Of course Zean, of course Irene is angry and upset with you.

"I don't like it, you treat it like this. I don't like it, you tell anyone that I'm your lover. I don't like it, you're brackets like three days ago, I've been like your pet dog. I don't like it either, when you're lost with no news and leave me alone. And I don't like it"

Irene's words stopped because Zean kissed her, so softly. Zean was completely defeated to hold back, he could not let those pink lips continue to ramble along the nile river. Zean likes it when Irene babbles, what else if the reason Irene rambles is Zean.

Zean let go of his kiss, giving Irene a chance to breathe. Then Irene looked at me with a smile.

"After this, I'll let you work as my secretary. I'm not going to do anything you don't like anymore" Zean said.

Oh my God, why is this guy so sweet.

"Did your head hit something?" Irene asked to make sure. Usually Zean always behaved as he pleased without caring about Irene's opinion, but not this time, Zean even complied and cared about Irene's feelings.

Zean swig. "I'm fine, Irene"

"There's one more thing you need to explain. Who are you, Mr. Lorwerth? Why would anyone come after you and want to kill you? Then who helped you that night?" Irene attacked Zean with questions that had settled into her mind for a few days.

Zean sighed for a moment.

"I'm a child, James is not my brother" Zean paused.

Irene knitted her brows, puzzled. But, he chose silence and waited for Zean to continue his words.

Irene digested well Zean's explanation, what Zean said was serious. That said, Zean just revealed his family secrets.

"Why did you tell me about this?" Irene asked, considering that Zean said that no one knew that James was not a descendant of the Lorwerth family.

Zean turned to look at Irene and clasped the girl's hand.

"Because I trust you and I love you, Irene" Zean said sincerely.

Whahuh? Zean loves Irene? That easy? That quick?

Irene stared deeply into Zean's eyes, trying to find a crack in the lie. However, nothing, Zean was completely sincere and serious with his remarks.

"Mr.Lorw-"

"Sstt" Zean put his index finger on Irene's lips. Then put his head close to the girl's ears.

"I don't want to hear you calling me 'Mr.Lorwerth' if until I hear that again, I'll punish you with a kiss" Zean whispered.

The deg! Irene stiffened, her heartbeat regained a fast pace. The strange feeling reappeared, he felt comfortable being near Zean.

"Come, we have to go back to Boston" Zean said.

🍂🍂🍂

Boston 23.30 pm

Irene stared at her reflection in the mirror. Both hands rested on the sink. He had just finished bathing, his body felt sticky and so tired after thirty-one hours and five minutes air travel from Melbourne to Boston. Irene came out of the bathroom to her favorite place, a king-size bed that was always ready to be the bed of the girl.

Irene's memory goes back to the twist of Zean, the man who said that she loved Irene when they sat on a park bench in Melbourne City that night. Irene did not know what kind of feeling she was feeling. Sometimes he was angry and upset at Zean, but sometimes he felt comfortable and safe near Zean. Irene was a little uncomfortable with Zean's attitude of treating her like a lover, but it was Zean's attitude that was shaking her heart at the moment.

Honestly, Irene until this moment did not believe in the name of love, what else is love at first sight, it's impossible. For him love is not real, only mortal seductive in a moment and will only leave bitter and sick due to love itself.

"What'sthis? What's wrong with me?" he said to himself.

Irene's phone rang, breaking her mind. He stared at his phone screen, there was a call from someone he named 'Stranger'

"What's wrong?" ask Irene cuek.

"Come and work tomorrow to the office" Zean replied and closed the call.

"Hello" said Irene, with no answer, Zean actually ended the call.

What happened to Zean? His attitude fickle erratically, making Irene become curious about who exactly Arzean Lorwerth was. What kind of man is he facing.

"You're the first person to mess with my mind, Arzean Lorwerth" Irene stared at the screen.
