The Destiny
Like Ever Meeting

The sound of music echoed throughout the room, the smell of alcohol scattered along with those who were dancing on the dance floor.

Ray stared at it all without interest, sitting in the corner of the elite bar with a glass of red wine.

"Yohan."

"Yes sir?" Yohan swiftly stood up from her seat and faced Ray, ready to take orders from her master.

"You think— how's that woman?" Ask Ray.

Yohan who still did not understand the direction of Ray's conversation, he was misunderstood and instead followed the direction of his master's view, Yohan thought the woman Ray meant was the woman his master was looking at.

"Do you want me to ask him to accompany you?"

Ray looked at Yohan sharply, his eyes as if hinting at a sentence, 'you think I'm wanting that bar woman, do I look like a lonely man? Accompanying what?!'

Without Ray needing to speak, Yohan understood the meaning of the gaze.

"Sorry sir, then who is the woman you mean?" Ask Yohan, this time he must be more careful in talking or behaving, anticipate if he is wrong again, maybe Ray could have raged at him.

"The little witch's sister." Said Ray.

"What do you mean by Miss Rachel's half-sister?"

Ray looked back at Yohan meaningfully, 'do I have to say it clearly?!'

"Ah well sir, that woman's name is Keana Mauli. He is the biological son of Farhan Mauli and Marina, his mother had died six years ago, then one year later, after his mother died, his father remarried to— "

"I asked your opinion about the woman, not the information about the woman." Said Ray who deliberately interrupted Yohan's words.

I can confirm, in the next few days, you will ask about the background of the woman in detail**. — Thought Yohan.

"Yohan, why just shut up? Answer my question. What do you think of that woman?" Ask Ray again.

"Ah yes. That— in my opinion, the woman is very insolent to master, what need I teach her a lesson?"

Ray drank his wine back, the man was seen smiling with a grin as he recalled Ana who was blatantly staring at him.

"no need. Hurry, go back, what do you think of him."

Yohan nodded, though,

"He looked confident, stubborn, and knew no fear at all. But actually, he was a real coward. I could see that truth from the look in his eyes that seemed to change several times."

"So— you're saying he's pretending with all that attitude?" Ask Ray.

"When you look at his eyes, it looks like it's so master." Reply Yohan.

Ray laughed while patting Yohan on the shoulder several times.

"All right, I believe you. You are an expert at judging people. Though—I think she's a brave woman, it turns out just pretend yes." Said Ray while drinking the wine that was in his grasp.

"Yohan."

"Yes sir."

"Find out the information about the woman, in detail." His order.

What I said, it will eventually be like this. — Inner Yohan.

"Good sir. But sir, is Master Ray interested in that woman?" Ask Yohan.

"Ana huh? Em— looks like I've heard that name, but— I forgot, you know? It's like you remember something but you don't know what it is." Said Ray.

"Then I will look for information about him, it's possible that he had a school with the master." Yohan.

"Oh yes Yohan. What do my words to my stepmother— ever get quoted in the media?" Ask Ray.

"I don't think it's ever mister, that woman also couldn't possibly dare to say anything bad about mister in front of the media."

Ray nodded in agreement, but he still felt that something was stirring his mind. The words Ana said to her stepmother this morning were still going around her head.

"How can she say the same words as me?" Mumbled Ray.

"Yes sir?" Yohan asked, when she saw Ray's mouth move like he was talking, but she was unable to hear it clearly.

"Ah no, forget it." Ray told his assistant.

Only a lowly woman would do such a lowly thing, so disgusting to me.' That sentence— I felt I had said it too, but I don't remember at all when I said it. Ah shit! This greatly disturbed me. — Ray sighed for a moment, after which he again gulped down his wine with one gulp.

Rio blocked Rachel's path, the girl seemed to want to enter her room. But just as she was about to step up, Rio suddenly came and blocked her path, making Rachel snort in annoyance.

"What?" Ask Rachel.

"Try thinking back."

Rachel sighed in annoyance, she let go of Rio's hand that was holding her arm.

"Did sister Ana tell you to do this?" Asked Rachel with an upset tone.

"Rachel— listen to sister, I think Ana has a point too, you will only be her slave, and will only be a mannequin doll played when she needs your help. Besides— why would you suggest such a crazy thing to Mr Raymond?"

"Don't say that again, we'll still agree to the terms, after all the business contract has been signed right, we can't cancel it anymore."

"But you haven't signed the terms yet, we can ask for another condition."

"Never will." Rachel.

"Rachel!"

"Sister! Don't mind me! I'm an adult, I can choose my own life, happy or not, that's my business!"

Rachel opened her bedroom door, but Rio stopped her again.

"When did you go to the bar?! Do you go there often?!"

"Eh— Engg— it—" replied Rachel who sounded nervous, the girl seemed to have trouble finding excuses.

"Stupid, do you know what they say about you? The people at the bar— most of them are sister business relations! Rachel, you've embarrassed my sister! They said that Rio's younger brother is a comfort woman!" Shouted Rio in front of Rachel's face, making the girl close her eyes, it seemed that her hands were now trembling in fear.

"Sister, let go of your hand, you're hurting me." Pinta Rachel who is still trying to ask to escape from the clutches of her brother's hand.

Rio sighed, in the end he relented and let go of Rachel's hand.

He had the opportunity to run away from his brother. Rachel quickly went into the room and locked it.

"Brachel! Open door! Brother's not done talking to you." Rio banged on Rachel's room door.

"Ah my goodness! My ears hurt a lot." Said Ana who suddenly appeared from behind the wall that limited the area of their room with another room.

"Ana's? Since when were you there?" Rio's asking full of probes.

"Since your initial discussion. Whyyy?! Feeling disturbed because I accidentally heard it?" Ask the girl in a tight tone.

After that, Ana walks towards her room, she takes the key to her room door from inside the bag. Before entering into her room, Ana stared sinisterly at Rio for a moment.

"Comfort woman? Educate your sister properly. I don't want to hear this family's good name go bad because of you guys!" Said Ana while closing the door to her room loudly, she was upset.
