The Billionaire Mafia
Be aware of Elie
Arthur walked hastily through the apartment lobby. His firm steps clashed with the granite floor until it faintly caused a knocking sound. The tail of his eyes unintentionally caught the silhouette of someone familiar. For a moment the look in his eyes followed the shadow of someone who knew who it was, until it completely disappeared from his sight. Arthur then continued his steps into the elevator to the 12th floor.
Right in front of the door of the apartment unit, the back of Arthur's hand formed twice and soon the door was opened by someone who was none other than Darren.
"Where's Elie?" the question was when his body went in perfectly after Darren closed the door again.
"In his room" he said.
Both of Arthur's eyes squinted sharply, looking suspiciously because there were only two of them in the apartment.
"I can't possibly do anything with Elie, Ar." As if knowing what Arthur was thinking, Darren first confirmed it.
Arthur clucked his tongue. "I know." Then take off the suit he was wearing and throw the suit over the sofa. "You're just like me who couldn't possibly dare to do something that would hurt him." Really, Arthur's words made Darren frown in. It was as if his friend knew something that he had been hiding so nicely.
"What are you talking about Ar?" Darren's question represented his now erratic feelings. Really, he just didn't want Arthur to misunderstand him and make their familial relationship complicated.
"You think?" Arthur did not answer. His gaze was now only at the door and allowed Darren to look for answers to his words. Arthur then stepped towards the door of Aurelie's room, knocking on the door of her sister's room. "Elie, can we talk to you for a second?" said gently.
Aurelie, who has been in bed hugging her beloved Teddy Bear, has noticed Arthur's arrival. The woman is compiling answers when later her brother will flock to various questions that trap.
"Elie??" Behind the door Arthur again called him with a knock on the door when he did not give any response. "You want to open the door or Brother Ar will-"
Arthur's voice hangs because the room door is partially open, until later it appears Elie who pops her head first.
"Sister...." Elie's face was plain and her eyes were dim because she couldn't think of anything but two men who were now interfering with her thoughts, Arthur and Mikel.
"Sir Ar just wants to talk for a minute. Come out." Arthur did not mean to make his brother depressed, so he tried to talk as gently as possible.
Aurelie nodded her head obediently. He then follows Arthur who first walks to the sofa, landing his body on the sofa, followed by him.
Darren who was there chose not to interfere. "I'm going to the balcony" he said. He would rather wait for them to speak on the balcony. Other than allowing privacy between them, he also did not want to hear a statement that would definitely scratch his heart even deeper.
Arthur nodded and watched his friend who had walked to the balcony. The look in her eyes was difficult to understand, making Aurelie observe the elder sister for longer. Until then the woman threw her gaze in the other direction once Arthur's attention returned to her.
"You know what Ar's gonna ask?" As always, Arthur will make anyone look like the defendant.
Like an innocent child, Aurelie gave a small nod.
"Then is there anything you want to explain, hm?" Still with a tone full of tenderness, but there is pressure in it.
Aurelie took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Before then venturing to look at Arthur, until now their eyes meet.
Arthur chose to quietly listen instead of interrupting his sister's words. Although there was actually a sense of displeasure when his sister explained her relationship with a man named Mikel. When he met the man, he could see the light of his eyes. Never had he seen the eyes of someone so eager to want a woman, except for the eyes of his childhood friend Michael. Yes, Arthur felt that the two had the same look in the eye. The color of the eyes also looks the same.
"You don't have to see him anymore." Not without reason Arthur opposed if his sister was close to the man. Though all this time he let Aurelie establish a relationship with any man.
"But I'm not sure if he won't see me. Lately he's been helping me out and being around me." Although all this time he refused Mikel's presence, but somehow at the time his brother asked him not to meet the man, sighed a little unwillingness.
"You just need to avoid it, Elie" Arthur said. "You know if there's been a woman attached to it all this time."
"I'm sure she won't stay put when she finds out you've taken her man" Arthur said, trying to open his stubborn sister's mind.
"I can take care of it, brother. After all I'm not the weak woman they've been thinking about." Because it is useless he avoids, Mikel will always haunt him at all times. And the woman had also moved to disturb him.
"Hem, but Brother Ar doesn't want to hear anything. You should keep avoiding him. You don't know what kind of man he is anyway."
"But brother...." Aurelie tried to hold back Arthur who was about to move. "I think he's a good guy and he looks like a-"
"Mike?" sela Arthur jerks Aurelie's ear. "You think that guy's like Mike?" Yeah, Arthur knows what his brother thinks. Because he thought so when he met the man. "They're different, Elie. We all know what Mike looks like, but not that guy!" Even he and Darren have a hard time investigating the man. Surely the man named Mikel was not a random man like the man who had been approaching his sister.
"Bu-not sis," he argued with a head-band. Aurelie tried to cover up what she was feeling at the moment. Because he himself did not know why to let the man roam by his side, when he could have driven the man out rudely, as he did to other men. "I just feel like he's a good guy."
Arthur nodded in disbelief. Since when his sister was easy to trust the man he just knew.
"Kak Ar came to see you because he just wanted to hear your explanation. So enough of our talk." Arthur then moved from his seat. Whatever his brother said, he really didn't want to care. His gaze turned to Darren who was standing on the balcony while letting the air sweep across his face. "Der, let's get out of here!" he then snatched the suit lying on the sofa.
Darren looked confused, but he nodded and walked over to Arthur.
"SISTER...?" Aurelie tries to stop Arthur from leaving. He was not satisfied with his brother's decision.
"Mom and Dad are waiting for you at the Mansion, so you better get home tonight. They already know that you don't work for the agency anymore." Arthur doesn't want to talk about the man anymore. She recalled Mommy Elleana saying this morning that she told her sister to go home.
"All right...." Aurelie chose to obey instead of refute. Moreover, now he also has to explain to his parents about him who has not worked at the agency and is willing if they will ask him to work at Jennifer aunty company.
Aurelie forced her smile as Darren watched her gloomy-looking face. Until Arthur and Darren pass from there and slowly their shadow trail disappears from his sight.
His gaze bowed accompanied by a short closed eye. Increasingly do not understand what he feels at this time, when before he seemed ordinary and did not think of the President perverted it. But this time he remembered the man.
"Ck, come to Elie." Both of his palms patted his face repeatedly. Wishing to get that man out of his mind.
