Stranger's In Love
12|WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Irene walked in the lobby towards the elevator, but someone stopped her steps.

"Ms.Banner" called him.

Irene turned her head, that person was the male employee who directed her when she first set foot in Lorwerth Corporation.

"Include my name Benny. I'll take you to your study, Ms. Banner" Benny explained.

Benny walked over with Irene following him in the back.

"Benny" called Irene, Benny turned his head as the man had already pressed the elevator button.

"Don't call me 'Ms.Banner'. You can just call me Irene" Irene said.

Benny smiled and the elevator door opened on the top floor, the same floor as Zean's. They walked towards the room that was right next to Zean's.

"All right Irene, this is your work space" Benny said as he opened the door.

"My name is Irene, not just Irene" Irene chuckled.

Benny smiled and nodded.

"Please come in, the spirit of the morning and happy work" said Benny.

"Thank you, Benny"

Benny passed away leaving Irene who had now entered her study. Irene circulated a sweeping look throughout the room, spacious, clean and comfortable. Irene noticed every corner of the room that was shades of white, in the room there was also a large window that showed a beautiful view of Boston.

Irene's phone vibrated, with a message coming in from Stranger, Arzean Lorwerth.

"Today I'm not coming to the office, I'll see you after my business is done" Zean said.

Irene chose not to reply to the message, she locked her phone and put it in a bag.

"I don't care" Irene told herself.

Irene sat in her chair and turned on the iMac and began to open the files or documents on the desk. Irene read and digested each of the contents of the document file and started working. Not difficult, Irene only needs to set or match the Zean business travel schedule and check what data, files and documents are needed.

Irene could sigh in relief, finally the stranger understood that all Irene wanted was to live a normal life and work to her ability. Actually Irene always thought about Zean saying that she loved Irene. But as hard as Irene could always brush off those thoughts and neutralize her heart, the girl did not believe in the name of love. Irene tried to focus on her current job, but still her mind went back to remembering the man, Zean had filled up all the space in her brain.

🍂🍂🍂

Today Zean didn't come to the office because he had to see Rihanna Lorwerth, her mother. Before that, Zean had sent a message to Irene, but the girl did not reply. Zean promised that after his dealings with Rihanna were over, he would meet her.

Zean walks into the living room, where a man in his white coat checks Rihanna's heartbeat in a wheelchair. The person in the white coat was Ainsley Lathecia, the Lorwerth family's personal physician. Rihanna has spent nearly five years sitting in her wheelchair, due to a car accident she had with Zean. On the day of the incident, Zean condemned himself for being the cause of Rihanna's paralysis to this day. The incident occurred when Zean picked up Rihanna at the airport and the car they were driving had an accident due to a blong brake that seemed to have been sabotaged. From then until now Zean felt guilty, even he had to see his mother can only sit in a wheelchair.

"Zean" said Rihanna to see her son standing by the door, Doctor Ainsley turned her head and smiled at Zean.

"It looks like I have to go back" said Ainsley's doctor, who understands the situation, because it looks like Rihanna and Zean are going to talk about something serious.

Rihanna nodded and smiled at Ainsley, who was busy putting her stethoscope in her doctor's bag.

"Until we meet tomorrow, Doctor Ainsley" Rihanna said.

"Until we meet tomorrow" said Doctor Ainsley, smiling at Rihanna and Zean, and leaving the living room.

"So, do you miss your handsome son, ma'am?" zean Goda.

Rihanna chuckled with this attitude of her only son.

"Of course, I miss you" Rihanna paused.

Zean was silent, waiting for Rihanna to continue.

"You are the son of the busiest mother in the world, so it's rare not even to see your mother, if not the mother who asked you to come to see her" he continued.

Rihanna was right, Zean very rarely met his mother because Zean lived in the penthouse not in this house, not with Rihanna, Grissham and James. Wh why?

Because Zean wasn't strong had to see Rihanna sitting in a wheelchair, considering this was all because of Zean. Rihanna always tells her son not to think too much about her because this is not entirely Zean's fault, Rihanna also says she is paralyzed at this time may have been God's destiny, God's destiny, but Zean always blamed himself.

"I'm coming to see you now, don't insult me like that anymore" Zean said, hugging Rihanna in a wheelchair.

Rihanna smiled in her son's arms.

"Zean, you're all grown up. You are twenty-seven years old" Rihanna said.

Zean deciphered his hug then looked at Rihanna with a puzzled look.

"Prepare" Rihanna said this time sounding firm and serious.

Zean knitted his brows in confusion. "Watch up for what?"

"Prepare for the day" replied Rihanna.

Zean was silent, digesting every word Rihanna spoke. A second later Zean remembered something.

"Your engagement ceremony and Rebecca's will take place next week" Rihanna said, awakening Zean's memory of it.

The deg! Zean's heart did not beat, considering the engagement event made him remember also the girl he loved, Irene Banner. Zean had completely forgotten that a year ago, Rihanna introduced him to the son of the priestess Rihanna Rebecca of the Hillton family.

Zean doesn't love her even Zean doesn't like her. What can Zean do now? It was impossible to overcome Rihanna's desire, because remembering the reason Rihana was paralyzed at this time was enough to make her suffer. Zean never opposed Rihanna's desire, the man always tried to make her mother happy. Then what will happen? Is it the first time that Zean is going against Rihanna's desire to get Zean engaged to her best friend's daughter Rebecca Hillton? Or will Zean abandon Irene and spread his love to the girl?
