[The next day]
Ezra woke up as he felt the sunlight shining down on his face, Slowly his eyelids opened revealing a green sliced emerland net. With my net vision I looked around trying to get out of bed. The view of the room with a classic feel is what he saw first.
The man climbed up from his bed, shaking off the blanket that was blocking his way. His feet slowly moved outside the room. Vaguely from the doorway a noisy sound swept through his hearing.
Ezra peeked slowly, Curious who made a fuss in the morning. For a moment his net caught the figure of a blue-blonde girl facing Raizel and Ian. The girl looked upset that the two young men were blocking her way.
"Come on, let me go. I have to meet Mr. Justin, "Chloe's whining is trying to get past the two young men. Raizel and Ian held both shoulders.
Raizel looked displeased, He furrowed his brows. "Chloe, why the hell did you choose to live alone? More delicious in the Dormitory, there are masakin can continue to play games without anyone negur. Rame again, you're wasting this opportunity?"
"This time I agree, if you go again, who's gonna be the Dorm health section?" Ian's voice chimed in with his usual flat expression.
"And there's Aiden, he can also replace my position as the Dormitory health section in addition to being the caretaker here. I think Aiden's almost perfect in any field so I don't think I'm needed here" Chloe shook her head, making the two boys even more unhappy.
"Who said you weren't needed here?! Did Ezra say?! I told you to assume he's not here! He's not important, even if he told you that. We will defend you" said Raizel, full of emotion.
Chloe rubbed her neck confused, Though their conversation had nothing to do with Ezra. But Raizel had already misunderstood and instead involved Ezra in their chat.
"Huh, Not so–"
"Tch!" Ian snorted cynically, Cutting out Chloe's words. "When he tried to kill you but you're still good to him, why don't you just let him drown yesterday?! Why even be helped?! He's been repeatedly harassing you tau!"
Chloe's ruffled around her waist, her eyebrows pucker up. "Dian! Don't you say that! I know Mr. Ezra almost killed me over and over again, I know he hates me. But anyway he's still my partner, he's also one of my family members in the dorm. As a partner, I always have to help him in difficult or happy situations,"
Ezra's green netra widens after hearing Chloe's parking lot, Jolting in disbelief as the girl says she is one part of Chloe's family in this Dormitory. Instantly his head lowered slowly, A strange feeling seemed to touch his heart.
In contrast to Ian and Raizel's reaction, the two young men heaved a heavy sigh. Even Raizel pinched Chloe's cheeks until she grimaced.
"nolongin heck nolongin, but if to mgebiarin himself oppressed another story. Well can be stupid don't!" Raizel said flat still pinching cubby Chloe's cheeks.
"i-iitai! I'm not stupid to know! Raizel, loose! Your pinch hurts," Ringis Chloe tried to remove Raizel's pinch from her cheek.
Ian scooped up while leaning his back against the wall. "Tch! The family? What do you think is in this dorm? A family? We're your family that means?"
"That's it! I used to live here, so you guys already considered family. After all, Mr. Justin said, let's just say that all members of this Dormitory are part of the family. We've also been living together for a long time, so it's not wrong that I assume you are," Cerocos the girl after she managed to escape from Raizel's pinch.
"Yes, if you think we're part of your family. Then don't leave this hostel!" Raizel showed her hearty expression to Chloe, Hoping for the girl to change her mind.
"Didhi maksa! Oh, Ogah, don't want to! Ah, you guys get out of the way! I'm going through, I need to see Mr. Justin. It's very important, '" Chloe again tried to pass, but Ian and Raizel still held her back.
"It's better to stay here" Persuaded Ian flat, holding one of Chloe's shoulders.
"No! I'm a girl here alone, no girlfriends. I'd better leave it alone, better and safer,"
"Begging the new member who is the same girl Justin, you will also have a friend" replied Raizel.
"No way!"
Ezra notices the interaction between Ian, Raizel, and Chloe from the doorway. Hearing everything they say, his gaze continues to be on the girl, Thinking why Chloe is still good to him even though she used to repeatedly almost kill the girl.
Ezra daydreamed in silence until he felt a pat on his shoulder, making him somewhat jerked and turning to the perpetrator.
The tep!
"What are you doing here Ezra?"
"Nothing, I accidentally woke up because of their commotion," Ezra turned his eyes to Chloe who was still trying to pass from Ian and Raizel. Realized that Felix was the one who patted him on the shoulder.
Felix looked at his brother with Ian and Raizel. Before long a small smile rose from Felix's lips after realizing the funny behavior of the three.
"Who brought me to this hostel?" Ezra asked started a chat, Leaning his back on the doorway.
"Chloe, he's calling the other members with your watch. He said he found you almost drowned in the lake. So he asked us to pick you up" Felix explained for a moment glancing at Ezra's seemingly unpredictable expression.
Slowly Ezra's head bowed to the floor below, Remembering the incident last night when he drowned, Chloe was the one who helped him at that time. He even snapped and told his complaints to the girl. But Chloe at that time just kept quiet and just calmed her down with a hug.
Maybe that's what Ezra needed at the time, a warm hug from someone when he was feeling sad and chaotic. Given the incident somehow it feels to make Ezra embarrassed, Shame because it was caught crying in front of a girl. It was as if he was showing his weakness to Chloe instead.
Unknowingly one of her hands rose to cover her shy face, Ezra lowered her head slowly.
"How shameful it was, I seemed so weak yesterday. It felt like it was fragile and severe why did it have to be in front of that little boy?!" Ezra thought unconsciously his net was staring at Chloe's back who was still facing Ian and Raizel.
"Now you realize it, right? Realize Chloe's a good kid, not what you think she is" Felix said without taking his eyes off her sister.
As Ezra remained silent, his gaze kept on Chloe. Until coincidentally, Chloe suddenly turned her head back and accidentally blinded her with the blue netra of the girl to meet each other. For a moment the two's gazes locked onto each other, Ezra only realized that Chloe's netra was as clear as an ocean.
Before long Chloe smiled as she waved her hand slowly at Ezra, making Ezra's body freeze still because of shock. Like saying I'll see you again.
I don't know what Ezra was thinking when Chloe smiled and waved softly at him, but after that the man turned his eyes away from Chloe. He immediately went back inside his room, Closing the door tightly regardless of the astonished gazes from Felix, Ian, Raizel, and Chloe who looked puzzled.
BLAM!
Chloe lowered her hand, Her smile fading from her lips. His hands turned rubbing his nape in wonder. Confused by Ezra's behavior.
"Did I make a mistake? I was just waving at Mr. Ezra, but why did he seem to be avoiding me?" Chloe asked in wonder.
Ian glanced at Chloe for a moment. Answer cuek. "Maybe he still doesn't like you,"
"It seems that Ezra thinks that your existence is still a bully to him" Raizel replied.
Taps! Taps! Taps!
Felix steps up to Raizel, Ian, and Chloe with his friendly smile. Faced with those three people.
"Calm down, maybe Ezra just needs some time alone. Later he will also definitely behave as usual again," explained Felix replied to the astonishment of his sister.
"Oh that's it, Yes I'm going to Mr. Justin's room first,"
***************
[Jin's Room]
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Come in,"
Hearing the speech from inside, Chloe immediately entered the room Justin did not forget to say an excuse and closed the door again.
Justin exhaled for a moment, his Netra orange switched from the laptop screen to look at Chloe who was already standing right in front of him. The moment he took off his glasses, Frowning his fingers with a serious expression.
"Is there any good news about your mission?"
"Very well, I've found one clue about the traitor,"
Chloe reaches into her jacket pocket, showing a memory card containing a recording of Ethan's chat with the mysterious figure. He put the memory on Justin's desk.
"I recorded the traitor's chat with his co-worker. He works under someone's orders but I don't know who that mysterious figure is,"
Justin raised one eyebrow in surprise for a moment, His hand outstretched to pick up the memory. Ensuring up close.
"From his voice, do you recognize that mysterious figure?"
"No, all I know from his voice is he's a man. That guy seems to have big ambitions to take over your post Mr. Justin. You hear he wants Mr. Justin and Mr. Ezra's reputation to be ruined in front of everyone" Chloe replied, shuddering.
"Take over my company?" Justin puckered, Trying to think who the misterus figure was other than the traitor.
"He deliberately wanted my reputation destroyed and looked down upon by others including my employees. Then if the news spread to my clients from other companies, our cooperation will probably stop in the middle of the road. And it's gonna have an impact on my company's finances,"
For a moment his finger tapped on the table, thinking of the worst possibility that would happen if his company went bankrupt.
"My company will go bankrupt, and that's when the golden opportunity for him to take over my company by selling my company to him. Tch! This can't be allowed!"
Justin let out a coarse breath, One hand clenched on the table. His gaze continued to be fixed on his laptop screen that was still on.
"The only way is to catch the traitor first, then force him to tell you who told him to provoke my company. Only then could I know who the mysterious figure other than the traitor was,"
Justin then looked up at Chloe, Putting the memory in a flash.
"What does this have to do with Ezra? The one that's after me and my company?"
"Hm...What I heard was that the traitor had a grudge against Mr. Ezra, because Mr. Ezra used to take over his position at the company" Chloe explained casually.
"It is fitting that my employees often vilify Ezra, it turns out that someone provoked them to take part in this matter. If my company continues to be in trouble like this, it could be that my company's reputation is quickly destroyed," Justin exhaled heavily, propping up his chin with his hand.
"Indeed that's what they wanted," Chloe simply nodded softly, Staring at the chaotic-looking Justin. "I also heard from the traitor that next week Mr. Justin will make a presentation in front of all of his clients. He plans to eliminate the memory card containing the father's company data and replace it with memory containing the virus so that the father's presentation is chaotic and failed,"
For a moment Justin was silent began to suspect the perpetrator of the betrayal. "He knew about the meeting, didn't the traitor have such a high position in my company that he knew about the meeting?"
"That's right,"
"You know what Chloe's doing? Since then you've been deliberately talking, right?" Justin mendelik realized the reaction of the girl seemed calm.
Chloe flinched for a moment and then a little sneer, wiping her non-itchy nape.
"Hehehe, Yes. I thought Mr. Justin could beat himself up because I already gave him a clue,"
The young man exhaled again for the umpteenth time, He could only elus-elus chest because of the behavior of one of his students.
"Well tell me who the traitor is,"
"Sir Ethan who served as General Manager at the father's company,"
Netra orange her rounded after hearing the name Ethan, Did not expect one of his confidants other than Ezra turned out to be a traitor.
Brak!
The stomp on the table made Chloe gasp in shock for a moment, She immediately elus-elus chest because her heart almost jumped out of place.
"Geez, Mr Justin why the table buzz all the way?! Like to really make a shock," thought Chloe shaking her head slowly.
"You're sure it was Ethan?! Chloe don't lie to me!" Justin said in a slightly raised tone, His jaw hardened withholding emotions.
"If you don't believe me, you can see the evidence right away" Chloe glanced calmly at the memory she previously loved. "That's just one proof, I need one more proof. CCTV of the company. I'll prove that my words are true,"
Back Justin quietly calmed his emotions that had been uncontrollable, He sat back down after feeling calm. Small throbbing for a moment and then scythe.
"You still have 4 days before my presentation starts, as soon as possible get the CCTV footage. For a while I'll follow their game. You understand Chloe?" Justin said coldly which made Chloe nod slowly.
"I understand Sir. But other than that I feel suspicious about that mysterious figure,"
Justin looked up again, Distracting his attention from the laptop screen. Started to get interested in their conversation. "Do you know anything about that mysterious figure other than his cooperation with Ethan?"
For a moment, the girl sat next to put on a detective style with a serious expression. "Do you not think most likely the mysterious figure who ruled Mr. Ethan was one of the father's clients? You see, I heard the mysterious figure wanted to take over the father's company because he wanted to expand his company's shares. That means maybe he knows Mr. Justin and maybe he's also a Ceo just like the father. This is my suspicion, anyway,"
Justin begins to realize what Chloe said may be true.
"What Chloe said was true, why didn't I think about it? It seems like from now on I should be wary of my clients, Some of them are sneaky. I can't let my guard down" Justin glanced at Chloe who was still holding a serious expression.
"This kid is clever too, It's not wrong that I chose him as my member," Justin smiled faintly, Linking his fingers.
"Alright thank you for all this info, I'll think about it later. You can go home now,"
"Okay, Same Sir. Excuse me first,"
Justin just nodded in response, After which Chloe climbed out of Justin's room.
