The Second Ring
Chapter Sixteen

Kenzo finished changing clothes. He came out of the bathroom back into the living room. He saw an empty living room. He was looking for Adelle's whereabouts. Kenzo looked around, but did not see Adelle.

"Is he in the room?" Kenzo muttered.

Not long after the apartment door opened and Adelle went inside. Seeing Kenzo standing in the living room, Adelle greeted him.

"You're done changing? sorry, yes. I was just downstairs picking up the package that came." said Adelle carrying a box with her.

"What package? it's huge" asked Kenzo.

Kenzo immediately walked up to Adelle, taking over the lifting of the box that Adelle was carrying.

"Ah, these are my things from the old house. I purposely asked the house assistant to pack it up and send it here" Adelle replied.

Kenzo looks confused. He did not understand Adelle's words. Seeing Kenzo's confused face, Adelle smiled and explained. If he meant the old house was his house with James. He intended to sell the house because he did not want to leave any memories with James.

After explaining, Kenzo finally understood. He asked, did Adelle feel better after the divorce? or like what? Kenzo explained, if he was just curious. Open intends to pry Adelle's personal problems.

"No problem, just relax. Hm .. My feelings now? I feel better. Although the beginning was heavy. The most important thing for me now is work" Adelle replied.

"It's good that you feel better. I'm glad to hear it" said Kenzo.

"The problem is, I have not dared to meet my Papa and Mama after the divorce. I just sent word of my divorce with James, and didn't answer their messages or calls at all. Yeah, thats. Even if I accept it, I always turn to my Secretary or my Assistant. Hahaha .. " said Adelle telling her, then laughing.

Seeing Adelle who was not shy anymore told a story, Kenzo felt relieved. He had thought Adelle would be upset, if asked about divorce issues or matters related to divorce.

The night is getting late. Kenzo wants to go home because he feels better. He didn't want to trouble Adelle anymore.

"Are you sure you want to go home?" ask Adelle.

"Yes, I don't want to bother you anymore" Kenzo explained.

"Disrupt what? you are not troublesome at all. I'm just worried that you're getting worse because it's cold outside" Adelle explained.

Adelle looked at Kenzo with a sharp look. Kenzo frowned confusedly. He asked, is there anything Adelle wants to say?

Adelle replied, if Kenzo has to stay at his apartment and will be escorted home tomorrow morning. Adelle is not calm if she has to let go of Kenzo now. He thought about Kenzo why-why on the way home.

"You right?" ask Adelle.

"Hm .. yeah, all right. It seems like answering not a single one you will force me to stay." replied Kenzo.

Adelle smiled, "Well, then I'll get you a blanket. You sleep on the couch, I'll accompany you to bed on the mat. Ok," said Adelle rushing off towards her room.

Kenzo took a long breath. She had not even answered anything and Adelle immediately decided of her own volition.

"I'm fine" said Kenzo.

"For now yes. What if you suddenly have a fever and nothing I don't know? if I'm here I will immediately know and take care of you." said Adelle did not want to lose arguing.

Kenzo finally gave up. He said nothing and according to what Adelle said. The mattress was finished in pairs and given a base. Adelle wants to go straight to bed, but Kenzo asks Adelle to sleep on the couch and she's on the mat. Kenzo wants to switch places with Adelle.

"The atmosphere is too narrow" Kenzo reasoned.

Adelle nodded her head, "Right as well. If my legs hang up, they won't be comfortable. Ok, I sleep on the couch and you're on the mat. Come on, have to sleep now" said Adelle who went straight up to the sofa and lay down.

Kenzo also lay down. He used a sofa pad for his head. Kenzo felt strange, this was the first time he had stayed at someone's house and slept on a mattress. His hand touched the blanket that enveloped his body. He felt the blanket soft and fragrant.

"Why isn't my blanket this good, huh?" inner Kenzo.

Kenzo turned to look at Adelle, it turns out that Adelle had been staring at her and when the eyes of the two met, Adelle immediately smiled.

"Are you sleepy yet?" ask Adelle.

"Yes, it seems so. How's yours?" ask Kenzo.

"Yes, I'm not sleepy either. How about we talk," Adelle asked.

"May, tell me what we're gonna talk about?" kenzo answered, asking.

"Hm, what, huh?" adelle muttered. Suddenly Adelle remembered something, "Ah, yes .. I'd like to ask you what your relationship with a man named Jass is ... Jass-per wasn't good?" adelle asked curiously.

"Yes, our relationship has not been good for a long time" replied Kenzo.

Kenzo explains, what makes his relationship with Jassper bad. He tells Adelle who Jassper is and what kind of person he is. For Kenzo, Jassper is the enemy in the blanket.

Hearing Kenzo's explanation, Adelle's forehead was wrinkled. He knew why Jassper was so shameless and unethical. It turns out he was a very upsetting person.

Adelle reminds Kenzo to be careful, if indeed Jassper is dangerous. Adelle was already suspicious of Jassper when she looked at Kenzo, her eyes full of hatred. Adelle said Kenzo needed to keep a distance from the Jassper so as not to get hurt.

"Just ignore what he said. Janga was lured into the speech of a madman like her," said Adelle.

Kenzo looked at Adelle and laughed, "Haha ..why do you look more annoyed at her than I do?" ask Kenzo.

"That's because I don't like it. People who like to demean others, people who easily do anything just because they have a lot of money. People who are overconfident, and too sure that all women will pursue him. The point from the beginning was that I didn't like him, be it his grammar, or his arrogant attitude." Adelle explained at length expressing what she thought of Jassper.

Kenzo smiled, he was not uncomfortable or tired of hearing Adelle nagging. Though usually he will immediately ask his Assistant to be silent if it has started to talk a lot, and ask to convey what needs to be conveyed.

A few moments passed, because Adelle was no longer heard, Kenzo woke up from a lying position and saw what happened. Apparently Adelle was too excited to tell a story until she fell asleep. Kenzo smiled, he fixed Adelle's blanket and gently rubbed Adelle's head.
