 “I'll reply you!” threaten Elliot while glancing at Venus who was sitting casually in her chair.

“I warn you! My daughter is the last limitation of my patience with you!” Chester said coldly.

Elliot growled, being so upset he found no reason to vent his hatred on Chester at the time. He passed after slamming a wooden chair to shreds. A waiter who had initially been chasing for compensation, finally retreated regularly when he found out who was making the act that afternoon.

“Just report to the head of the Morgan family, along with cctv proof!” The manager took a middle course rather than fighting the emotional man.

“You okay?” ask the manager to Chester.

“I thought we were done,” Chester said. Put some money as payers for their lunch, then pass from there.

The temperature has not dropped in the afternoon, in early summer. Venus continued her plan that day by swimming all afternoon. A waiter went back and forth to serve with cold drinks and fresh fruit. Then the butler came and approached him who was swimming across the pond. As Venus stopped by the pool, the waiter called.

“Nona, you have been playing water for too long. Later sick.”

The actual attentive words were an order from Chester for him to stop swimming that afternoon. Venus out of the water. Nancy quickly covered the large towel over her body. Venus sits on a wooden chair, under a garden umbrella.

“OK. I've stopped,” he replied.

The butler nodded and left. He was satisfied after his Master's message was obeyed by Venus.

The next few days, it was really hot, until the pool became the playground of Venus from noon to afternoon.

“Let's go to Mrs Baker's birthday party. So get ready.”

“Hah .. very hot day. Can I not wear official clothes? It will not be comfortable,” said Venus lazy.

“Wear one that makes you comfortable.” Chester nodded. Venus got up from the wooden chair and entered the house.

“Welcome, Mr. Moriarty, Miss,” greet the waiter at the doorstep. He immediately brought Chester and Venus in and met the host.

“Ah, Mr. Moriarty, we finally meet again after so many years.” Mr. Adam Baker stood up to greet Chester. Venus could see that it was not a far-fetched hospitality. It seemed, Chester and the man did have a good relationship, before.

“Goodnight, Mr. Baker,” greet Venus politely.

“Ah .. I'm sure she's your daughter who's been talking about town lately. Unsurprisingly. She is so beautiful!” praise Adam Baker.

Venus just smiled. “Thanks.”

“Where is Mrs Baker? Let me say hello first, before we talk remembering the past.” Chester.

“You're right. Come on, follow me to the room. Maybe he was sitting on the back porch with his nieces. Too hot day, make people not too happy sitting inside.”

Adam Baker led Chester through the living room, then across the side of the building to the back of the residence. A cold wind immediately greeted them. A beautiful garden covered in green grass, soothing the view in the hot air.

“Very beautiful garden,” compliment Venus just like that.

“Hahaha .. thank you, Dear. But actually my wife is a little jealous, because Chester has the best gardener in town. Next time you have to invite me and Claudia over there. I'm sure he'll be stunned and ask for a variety of flowers again, to fill his garden.” Adam Baker laughed cheerfully.

“I guess what could make you laugh so happily. Turns out Mr. Moriarty's presence.”

“How are you, Mistress?” greet Chester. The woman's back kissed him politely.

“I'm very kind and healthy as you can see. Though I guess you've been a little unconcerned with us lately.” The woman pouted a little to affirm her words.

“Ah .. forgive my carelessness. There is no reason to say because it has disappointed you.” Chester bowed his head as a sincere apology.

“I will forgive you, if you want to introduce this beautiful woman,” Miss Baker replied with a smile towards Venus.

“This is my daughter, Venus.” Chester turned to Venus, “Venus, this beautiful mistress is Claudia Baker.” Chester introduced them.

“It turns out this is the girl who became the lips of the whole city.” Mrs Baker's smile widened to see the modesty of Venus who slightly bowed to her.

“It's nice to meet you, Madam. It's a little birthday present. Hope you like it,” Venus said.

“When I feel like a noblewoman, look at your manners. Chester, you're so lucky to have a daughter like her!”

“Honey, don't stand still. Look they are also looking forward to getting acquainted with Venus.” Mr. Adam cut off his wife's conversation.

“Ah, forgive this old lady. Come, please get acquainted and sit down.” Mrs Baker immediately called the waiter to deliver a cold drink for Chester and Venus.

Now Venus talks to her three nieces, man and woman. They are young adults who are only a dozen years old. Beautiful with all its innocence. Like flowers in the garden. Before long, a young man appeared. Her face looks similar to Mrs Baker. And since the woman's beauty line is declining on her son, then it's good luck for him, being a very handsome man. According to Venus, this young man was even more handsome than Hugo von Amstel.

Chester touched Venus' hand and said, “ This is Mr Baker's second son, Jason Baker.”

Venus was polite. The man approached and took Venus' hand and kissed her on the back. “How are you Miss Moriarty?” how polite. Men are so calm that Venus cannot judge her reaction when they first meet.

“Mysterious man.” That's the conclusion Venus kept in her brain about the handsome Jason Baker.

They talk until another family arrives. They are Mr and Mrs Baldwin. A close friend of Baker's family. After that they enjoy a very pleasant dinner on the terrace.

It turned out that the dinner was special to bring old friends back closer. Because Venus finally knew that the three men were ex-soldiers. Although not from the same unity, but the background is quite able to maintain brand friendship in retirement.

After the men moved to sit down to enjoy the wine, Mrs Baker invited Mrs Baldwin to speak in a gazebo near the pool. Let the young people talk and laugh. Venus smiled at the jokes of Mr. Baker's niece.

“I've never heard of you before.” Jason Baker begins talks with Venus.

“Yah .. I'm not too happy to be out. And a little busy with my own business,” replied Venus.

“Oh, do you work?”

Venus looked at him. She could see that the man was very curious about her. But his emotional control was so good that no one could see what he was thinking right now. Venus threw a glance at the pool not far from there.

“You're not on my criteria, Jason.”

The man was a little surprised for a moment. But again managed to control his emotions, until his ugly face that looks outside. A faint smile adorned Jason's face.

“You better tell your parents who stole your heart. A man must fight to realize his love!”

This time, Venus' words managed to destroy Jason's defense. His usual cold, stiff and serious face was flabbergasted. His eyes were in disbelief. Only, there was no chance for her to reply to the words of Venus, because the young woman had already been walking in the park, enjoying the cool night breeze.

“A very mysterious girl!” inner Jason.
