The Devil JOVE's
115. Felt Weird

After successfully escaping the power of Jove, Casandra finally can freely move. She casually waved at her husband-to-be's car which began to move away from the front yard of L Group, the company owned by her father. Waving her hair, Casandra stepped inside. He then smiled sweetly as some employees greeted.

"Are you guys still gonna follow me?" casandra asked shortly before getting into the elevator. He spoke to the two guards trailing behind him.

"As long as Mr. Jove commands, then to the grave even though we will follow you, Miss," said one of the guards.

"Hmmm, I didn't think it turned out that you guys were so afraid of Jove's orders. I salute!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hey, that's not a compliment. But that's a satire for both of you. Understood?"

While grumbling, Casandra got into the elevator. He chose to stand in the corner and let the two guards stand right in front of him. Earlier on the way to the office, Casandra had tried to persuade Jove not to let the guards follow her while she was in the company. Honestly, Casandra doesn't feel free. But what power. Instead of agreeing to withdraw these two guards, Jove even with his songong said that he would add another fleet so that every corner of the L Group was filled by his men. Crazy, right? And this madness made Casandra only able to obey by letting these two flat-faced men follow her everywhere. He's resigned.

Elevator door opens. And Casandra's two eyebrows immediately linked up as soon as she saw who was waiting for her. Regent's father, Uncle Eriko. With a big smile the old man continued to stare towards the elevator where Casandra was.

"Mr Eriko, watch your lips well. Don't smile like that to Miss Casandra or we'll extend your lips to near your ears!" reprimand one of the guards to respond to the strange felt by the woman who still did not come out of the elevator. He then stepped out first and then stood face to face with the man who had got a red mark in Mr. Jove's eyes. "You better not provoke too much, sir. Because I'm indiscriminate even if you're Miss Casandra's Uncle!"

Goddamn bum! How dare lowly guards like them threaten me. But there's nothing, Eriko. Calm. Your goal in coming to the L Group is to get Casandra's attention. So don't let your emotions ruin something you've planned well. Patience. Calm.

"What's wrong if an Uncle wants to greet his own nephew?" asked Eriko to start playing a role. "Someone told me that the woman you were guarding had been taken prisoner in a mafia house. It's not natural that I'm worried about her?"

"What does Uncle mean to talk like that in front of my guard?" Casandra reacted. She was offended when her uncle mentioned that Jove had taken her prisoner. After that Casandra stepped out of the elevator then stood behind the guard's back. "Uncle Eriko, I don't know who told you about this absurd thing. But know that Jove is not charming me at all. I was the one who wanted to stay with him. Know?!"

"Cassey, your father told Uncle this. However, Uncle still felt uneasy before hearing it directly from your mouth!" eriko continued to try. "OK let's just say it's true that you live in a mafia house that's of your own accord. But don't you think what our family background is? If an outsider finds out you're living with a stranger without a clear bond, people will definitely think of you as a cheap woman. You know it's going to be very good-natured for the Lin family, right?"

A thin smirk appeared on the corner of Casandra's lips when she heard the advice of the Uncle who seemed to be underestimating her. Unaccepting, Casandra took a step forward until now parallel to the body of the guard. After that Casandra folded her hands and watched her uncle as closely as possible. He was curious as to what purpose this man had for even bothering to come visit him in the L Group.

"Uncle, our relationship never got that close so Uncle could be this worried about me. Honestly speaking. Tell me what Uncle really wants to know about my relationship with Jove!"

Cihhh, you sneaky bastard. No child is not a parent, his attitude is really very disgusting. Fortunately, my mood was not bad. Otherwise, I would have scolded him then asked these two guards to drive him away from the company. Waste only time. Huh.

"Don't get me wrong, Cassey. Uncle coming here is purely for worrying about you. Really," said Eriko casually.

"Of course."

"But what a pity, Uncle Eriko. I'm not a seven-year-old boy you can easily lie to!" teasing Casandra refused to believe it. "As long as we've been a family, I've never seen you so worried like this. Even when I was about to die from an accident caused by your son, you showed absolutely no empathy or guilt for Regent's actions. But now? Suddenly you showed up at the company and then, not knowing shame, said you were worried about me. Don't you think this is so funny?"

"What you're saying is true, but Uncle's coming here is a compelling reason behind it!" refute Eriko still trying to be patient even though her heart was already feeling very hot. He was burning with anger hearing this girl's chattering. "Although your Uncle and Father are half-siblings, Uncle is still part of the Lin family. With you staying with Jove without any clear ties, it's already tarnishing Uncle and Regent's good name as well. People would definitely reprimand Uncle if they came to know of this. Know it?"

"Who said me and Jove don't have a bond? Uncle is wrong to think that way!"

Eriko immediately frowned hearing Casandra's words. He looked closely at this girl, waiting for the explanation behind the words.

"Jove proposed to me. We just need to find the right time to get married!" casandra said with a cynical smile. "So if people start cornering Uncle and Regent, you just have to say that we will soon spread the invitation. Beres, right?"

"W-what? You and Jove .. are you getting married soon?" Eriko shock. His breath until he heard this. He then mumbled. "It's impossible. My plan could be hampered by a long period if these two people come together. No-no, I should've successfully kidnapped Casandra before their wedding took place. Got to!"

Casandra continued to notice the look on his uncle's face which immediately turned strange after he told her about his wedding plans with Jove. Very clumsy. Casandra seemed to catch the existence of a huge worry in the eyes of the man who was busy with his mutterings. This made Casandra feel that the uncle had found out about the presence of rare blood in his body. Not wanting the uncle to realize the anxiety in his heart, Casandra again opened a conversation that could make this man immediately run away from his presence. Casandra wants to contact Jove.

"You look so shocked, Uncle. What's up, hem? Does Uncle still mind too after knowing that I'm not the cheap woman that Uncle mentioned just now? Huh yeah?"

"Cassey, Uncle is just too shocked to hear this. But yeah, that's okay. If this marriage is the best for you, Uncle can only bless you. Uncle pray that your plans can run smoothly until the day H arrives. And if you have time, occasionally invite your Uncle and your parents to dinner together. Surely before your status changed from a girl to a wife. Okay?" sahut Eriko used the last way to get this girl out. And if it worked, then it would be the happiest day in the life of an Eriko Lin.

"I'll let you know after I tell Dad and Mom." Casandra saw the clock. He then looked at the uncle with a faint look. "Uncle, I've spent a long time chatting vaguely with you. Now you get out of here. I'm going to go into my room first to check on work!"

"Owh, okay. Uncle also had to go to the hospital immediately to pick up Regent. Today he's out of the hospital!"

"Yes, go now. There will be someone who takes the rancid man away from the hospital and then kills him. Regent itukan ranger. I'm sure the enemy must be everywhere!"

"Cassey, you ....

Eriko had not yet finished her words, Casandra had already sauntered away from there. This made him feel very offended. But Eriko could do nothing because the two guards escorting the haughty girl immediately threw murderous gazes at her.

You haughty girl. Just hang. Now you might be able to act tough in front of me, but later, heh. Crying blood I will never let you go. Chuehhhh.
