The Billionaire Mafia
Why Am I Thinking of It?

What Darren did was only witnessed from afar by Austin. The handsome young man did not want to interfere with what Darren was doing. When they had entered the car, Darren suddenly got out of the car just to help a woman. Although he was filled with questions 'since when did Der care about a woman in trouble?' but Austin didn't want to care. He just waited quietly while exchanging his voice with Jolicia over the phone in loudspeaker mode. Indeed, all this time only the girl who dared to be ignorant to Austin.

"Licia, do you know how deep the ocean is?" austin told Jolicia who did not stop contacting him while focusing on playing games on his mobile phone.

Across the street, Jolicia seemed to think. Did he have to measure the ocean to find out what questions Austin was asking?

"I don't know. Do I have to measure the depth of the ocean first, As? It seems like a lot of fun" exclaimed Jolicia. Measuring the depths of the ocean was new to him and he really wanted to give it a try.

"Yes, I'll accompany you and I'll drown you in the sea."

"Good God, you're really mean to drown myself in the sea." Jolicia's tone sounded annoyed. "Then why are you asking about the depths of the sea?" tanyanya.

"Because I've been upset since you kept bothering me who was playing games. If you're bored, you better take your time by measuring the depths of the ocean."

"Oh my God, your way of speaking is really subtle" said Jolicia full of insinuations.

"Yes, I think it's better." Austin answered indifferently.

"Ck, sucks." Jolicia clucked. "Yes, just continue playing the game. If you don't want to be disturbed by me, I'd rather just interrupt Maxime."

"What?! Maxime's? Who's Maxime?" ask Austin curiously. Because only this time he heard Jolicia was close to other men besides himself and other friends.

"Secret!" Tut's. Jolicia didn't want to answer, she cut off the phone just like that.

"Liciana.....!!" Austin was upset, so he became a loser in the game this time. "If I ever meet, I'll really drown in the sea!" gerutu.

"Who are you threatening?" Darren's sudden voice already behind Austin shocked the young man.

"Jeez Der, where did you come from, heh?!" Because Austin could not feel the stiff man's footsteps.

"Ck, you think I fell from the sky, huh?" cetus Darren's.

Austin just shrugged both of his shoulders. "Where is that woman?"

"Go home" said Darren briefly, concisely and clearly.

"You didn't drive him?" As he asked, Austin's eyes circled around, looking for the figure of the woman Darren had saved. But no, he found no one there.

"Bring that troublesome woman? Big No!" exclamation Darren. From his face alone it seemed to refuse firmly.

Austin chuckles. This is the real Darren. The man did not want to deal with a woman. "Then why did you save him?"

"Miss Veronica is Miss Elie's best friend. Do you think I'll just shut up to see her treated badly by her ex-boyfriend?!"

Hearing Darren's words, Austin's probing gaze was suspicious. "Where do you know if that man is her ex-boyfriend?" his insistence. She knew that she was her brother's best friend. But not with the man, he did not know if the man was the former friend of the older brother.

"While on the yacht, the man had an affair and..." Darren hung up his words when he realized something. "Why should I explain it to you As?" He just realized what was being said.

Austin was chuckling. He thinks Darren's attitude is not what he used to be. Moreover, the man knew a lot about the woman who had just been rescued.

"You like it Der?" Both Austin's eyebrows went up and down, teasing Darren.

"You're crazy As!" sergeant Darren. "I don't like her, she's a troublesome woman and always been in trouble and-"

"And you will always be his hero." Austin interrupted Darren's words just like that. And he was so happy when he teased Darren. Usually he will be indifferent as he did when he learned of his brother Elie's relationship with Mikel. But if Darren, somehow he wants to tease the stiff guy.

"Shut the fuckk up!" objurgation. "Don't talk nonsense, As!" With annoyance Darren immediately got into the car. Austin maintained his cool, before getting into the car.

It was already 12 p.m., Veronica was unable to close her eyes. Tonight he was on the balcony, he had actually moved into his old apartment with the help of Joana. Although not so spacious but the apartment is very comfortable than he had to settle in the apartment of his crazy ex-lover. As a businessman, Cade was among the men who counted. It was only natural that all the items given by the man were asked back.

The woman's head was turned. Tonight the stars in the sky are so bright. Since adolescence he has always looked at the stars in the sky and it has become a habit if he can not close his eyes. Because that's all you can do when you miss your parents who were gone when you were a teenager.

"Geez, why am I thinking about it?" Veronica patted her head. I don't know why Darren's shadow can't escape his memory. "She's really hot, but it's not the first time she's saved me," she muttered in thought of the man's rescue of her in the past when she was nearly kidnapped and nearly raped by a bastard who knew who. "Gosh, I forgot to return her jacket. Vero, you're so stupid, you've kept that guy's jacket for too long." Veronica repeatedly hit him on the head. He forgot to return Darren's jacket when the man took off his black leather jacket to cover part of his naked body. And he said it was a shame, because he had met Darren repeatedly but he did not discuss the man's jacket.

"Ck, after all he didn't ask me to give it back. I'd better pretend I still forgot. Not bad, I can still inhale the scent of perfume even though it's in the laundry. Expensive perfume is really different because it can last so long, "the monologue is on yourself. "Haha...." Then suddenly the woman laughed at her sadness. "Gosh Vero, you're such a pervert." Shaking his head because he was so astonished by himself.

"Ah come on, I'd better get some sleep. Because tomorrow's my shooting schedule during the day. So I can do something to thank him." Veronica took a deep breath, then exhaled her slowly. He closed the balcony door and began to lie down on the bed with Joana. Tonight his friend was staying over because exhaustion helped him to bring things from Cade's apartment.

Next morning. The noise sounded so disturbing in Joana's ears that she had to open her eyes. He was still sleepy, but the noise in the kitchen could not put him back to sleep.

"Jeez Vero, what are you doing?" Joana surprised. As long as he was his friend, he could not cook.

"Good morning Joana, are you awake?" Veronica's smile welcomes Joana's morning.

"What are you doing, Vero?" The woman did not reply to Veronica's words. He was so surprised by what his friend did.

"Of course cooking," he answered while arranging the food in the lunch box.

"Can you cook?" Joana asked as she sat herself down on the chair, picked up the glass on the table and poured the water inside the pitcher into the glass, before gulping down.

"I've seen cooking tutorials on loutube. It's easy to make Bulgogi and cook rice."

Joana just nodded. This is what he likes to be friends with Veronica despite only knowing five months. The woman does not want to look glamorous and behave as she is. Unlike her who always gives glamor until her hair is light brown.

"Then where are you going to take that box?" ask Joana again.

"Of course I'll give it to Tuan-"

"Sir who?" Joana looked suspiciously because Veronica did not continue her words.

"Ah, not for anyone. I'll give it to Elie, "he said.

"Elie?" Joana is confused. "Isn't Elie still on her honeymoon with her husband?" Joana's suspicions grew.

"Haha...." Veronica laughed to cover up her stupidity. "I forgot, I'm going to give it to the security at our agency."

"Since when have you been concerned with security at our agency?" Joana belittles. "Ehm, it's getting suspicious, inwardly.

Veronica can't give up anymore. Joana's a really shitty woman. "Ehm...it...."

"Don't tell me you purposely cooked for the man who saved you last night? Mr Daren isn't it?" Joana smiles seductively.

"Geez, you really suck Joana!" An irritated Veronica throws a spoon over Joana's shoulder.

"Ouch...." Joana complained while rubbing her shoulder that was hit by a spoon throw. Before then he laughed out loud at seeing Veronica who was caught by him. Last night Veronica explained who the man who saved her friend was. He did not expect that the man was an assistant to Mr. Arthur. It is fitting that Veronica was not hurt when cheated, her friend may have turned away from Cade turning to Mr. Darren.
