The Billionaire Mafia
Do You Like That Woman?

In the room, two brothers sat facing each other with a table that became a barrier between them. Since yesterday Arthur has not stopped flocking him with questions. Where did the brother go during the attack? Who kidnapped him and why was he on Peel St's side of the road?

Elie only answered as was possible, even though he was caught off guard because he had to answer the same question.

"Sister, I told you I ran away when they wanted to catch me." Elie's answer remained the same, to be honest he half-deadly hid the lies in the look in his eyes from the look in the brother's eyes. Elie was not easy to lie to her sister. "I met a couple, they were so nice to let me hitch a ride in their car and get me out of there before they got caught. I'm hiding in their place."

Arthur tried to digest Elie's story. He nodded his head. "Then I have to thank them."

Hearing Arthur's words, Elie suddenly replied with a face that immediately panicked. "I-I mean Brother Ar?" His feelings became unpleasant, even he stuttered for a moment.

"I have to meet the husband you just said. Thank you for helping you and..."

"No need!" Elie refuted and unintentionally shouted her panicked cusp. He shook his head repeatedly, as a sign that the Brother did not need to waste time to meet his imaginary husband and wife. "I mean they're gone, brother. Yesterday they said that they would leave the city and settle in the village. I don't know which village to go to." Elie's face tried to convince Arthur who seemed to be glaring sharply at him. As much as possible Elie pinned a face full of seriousness without having to slip a lie on the look of his face.

I hope Ar believes in my words. I'm sorry for not being able to tell the truth. I promised Mike I wouldn't tell him what he was.

Elie can only be impassive, even though he feels guilty for lying but he also does not want to break the promise and disappoint Mikel.

"All right, the most important thing is that you're okay. In the future I will add my men to take care of you" he said, and then Arthur stood up.

"But Brother"

"You can't refuse Elie, because Brother Ar didn't give you a choice."

Elie sighed in disappointment. "All right...." It is better that he complies and does not want to invite the anger of Arthur. He was worried that if he made his brother cultivate emotions, the other side of his brother would return to control. And that's what she doesn't want the most, because Mommy Elleana will be sad.

Arthur took a long walk through the hotel lobby to meet colleagues who had been waiting for him at one of the restaurants inside the hotel. Darren followed behind him with a serious and straight-forward look. But his instincts are no less sharp than Arthur if something goes wrong around.

Arthur and Darren get into the elevator to the 8th floor. Once out of the elevator they swung a step towards Kohl Restaurant. Their arrival was greeted by the middle-aged man with a smile and reached out to shake hands with Arthur.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late" Arthur said, welcoming the colleague's hand. To be honest he felt bad, because for the first time made his colleagues wait.

"It doesn't matter to Mr. Arthur. It was my fault for changing our meeting schedule because I suddenly had to go to Japan." The middle-aged man then allowed Arthur to sit down.

Arthur nodded while sitting himself down, followed by Darren who buried his body in an empty chair beside Arthur. They are involved in conversations about their company cooperation, and both have agreed on the profit that each will receive from their company.

The two-hour meeting finally ended. After agreeing to the contract, Arthur and his colleagues shook hands again as a farewell greeting.

The look of Arthur's eyes on the back of his colleague and the man's secretary turned to Darren.

"After this you go back to the company. I can drive my own car." Today Arthur did not go to the company, considering his condition has not recovered properly. So he prefers to rest in the Mansion, but there are those who interfere with his rest, one of which was Elie's attack yesterday.

"I can take you first Ar. Your face is a little pale, I'm afraid you'll-"

"I'm going to what?" Before Darren finished his sentence, Arthur interrupted first. "I told you I'm fine, go back to the company, I can do it myself." The stubborn Arthur remained in his stance, he snatched the car keys from Darren's hands and passed so slowly.

Darren breathed a rough breath, he thought why lately his friend and boss was so sensitive. Darren then follows Arthur's steps out of Restaurant, but his steps stop for a moment once he finds Arthur stopping his steps.

Darren followed Arthur's line of sight, he was stunned. It turns out that in front of Arthur there is the figure of Helena, the gaze of the two meet and lock each other. Arthur breaks eye contact with Helena. Arthur stepped back and passed the woman.

"Wait a minute." And Darren also stopped the footsteps when the woman stopped Arthur's steps, so Arthur stopped his steps but did not turn his head. "Are you okay?" To be honest Helena was shocked, the man who was lying in a coma a few days ago was now conscious. But the man's face still looks pale so inexplicably Helena worries about Arthur, even though he has tried to stay away from the man, given Arthur's bad treatment to him.

"What are you worried about me for? What's important to you?!" Arthur's sharp words are quite striking Helena. Somehow the woman felt that Arthur's attitude was back to the way it was when they first met. Cold and annoying.

"I. i...." Helena was nervous. He himself does not know why stop the steps of Arthur, he should not care, right?

"I'm just asking, is there a prohibition to ask, hm?" Helena tried to comment on a thin smile despite being greeted with a sharp look and flat face of Arthur.

"I'm busy. If you don't want to talk about it anymore, I'd better go!"

"Wait... " Helena stopped Arthur when the man was about to pass. "I'm actually wondering why you looked so angry and...." Helena did not continue her words, she was too afraid to remember the events of Arthur who almost killed her by strangling her neck.

Arthur did not answer immediately, but he knew what the woman was talking about. "I'm sorry to start surprising you with my actions." He is not a shameless man, has done wrong and does not want to admit it. "There's something I can't explain, so I'm sorry and please forget about it. I won't show myself in front of you, and you'd better do the same if you don't want me to do the same." Then Arthur turned his gaze in the other direction until it seemed arrogant.

For a moment Helena was silent. The man was so haughty when he spoke to her as if what was done was not an act that would endanger one's life.

"If you still have a need with me, through my assistant Darren. I'm sorry." And then Arthur passed away leaving Helena pecking at the spot after Darren nodded and said goodbye to her. The woman stared at Arthur's gestures which slowly vanished from her eyesight.

Darren has felt a different atmosphere than Arthur. Arthur's attitude becomes so cold after they discover the woman is with Mikel Jhonson and they immortalize her on a mobile phone later on Arthur's orders, Darren sent the photographic evidence to Elie using a foreign number.

"Ar, I want to ask you." Darren holds back the door that Arthur managed to open. Arthur did not reply but the look in his eyes was quite representative for Darren to ask him anything. "Do you like that woman?"

Hearing Darren's question, Arthur's eyes suddenly swooped sharply. What kind of question is that? thought.

"Don't talk shit!" Arthur did not accept Darren's question.

"But your attitude is like that of a jealous Ar." Darren remained adamant about making sure something was troubling his mind.

"You know what you're about that kind of feeling, Der?! You never dated and had a boyfriend!" arthur ketus spray.

"Yes well, I misinterpreted your attitude Ar. Sorry." which." It is better to give up than to be back in the air.

"Ehm, don't think too much of a no-no Der. Go back to the company. Just come to the Mansion if you need my autograph."

Darren nodded, then got away from the side of the car as Arthur was about to get into the car. Looking at Arthur's car that had already passed from the reach of his eyes, his mind wondered when Arthur's elusive answer did not satisfy him. Because he is very aware of the feeling of jealousy when he saw Elie dating other men out there and now he must hold back his jealousy when the woman he loved was back close to the President of MJ Corp.
