Chapter 52: Be in a safe place
Leonard has just arrived at the company led by his half-brother after dropping Ayumi back to the apartment citing an urgent need. Of course, on behalf of the family company, he just had a problem and he was called by his half-brother to sort things out.
With his face flushed with anger, Leonard walked out of the elevator exclusively for the company's top brass and without asking the secretary in front of his half-brother's room, now walked straight in without knocking on the door first.
Of course the first sight that was currently seen was the CEO of his family company sitting on a chair and staring at the laptop screen. Then turned to look at him and still looked very calm when he asked.
"I thought you'd come this afternoon after taking care of Ayumi," said Stevan, who looked back at the laptop to finish the work that would soon be discussed at the meeting this afternoon.
Still feeling very upset and angry because his stepbrother interfered in the household affairs that had just started with Arabella. Leonard's long legs now walked closer and stood right in front of the company leader.
"What exactly do you mean? Why did you order people to pack all of Arabella's clothes? In fact she just married me on your orders, but now you're going on your own and taking all my wife's things out!" Leonard cursed which let out a fire of anger welling up in his soul and had been restrained all along on the way to the company.
Stevan is now silent and shakes his head at Leonard's stubborn and reckless attitude. In fact he did not understand at all what his stepbrother wanted.
"You should feel happy and thank me because there are no barriers for you to marry Ayumi. Then, why do you look angry and unclear like this when I'm going to take care of everything? You better focus on Ayumi and don't care about Arabella because I will take care of it." your divorce. Don't you want to show the world that Ayumi is your wife? So I'll take care of the rest."
Actually, Stevan intends to change Leonard's arrogant attitude by getting married. He felt that Arabella was a woman who was very fitting and suitable to change the attitude of his stepbrother. However, he never expected that a third person from the relationship between Leonard and Arabella would emerge, namely Ayumi.
It made him feel very sorry and guilty for the woman he had forced to marry Leonard, so he had to take responsibility for the actions he did to Arabella. Of course by separating Arabella from Leonard and giving her a proper job as a form of atonement for wrongdoing.
When he intends to find a job for Arabella because he can't hire her in the company he leads. Of course, with the excuse of not wanting to make his wife feel jealous and misunderstood, there happened to be a friend who was complaining about something.
His best friend just received a letter of resignation from the secretary for choosing to marry after suddenly being proposed by a lover, so he was frantic in finding a replacement when he was going abroad for a business trip that he planned to go with the secretary.
In the end, he immediately said there was someone with experience because he had worked in his company before but had to be fired because of his wife's jealousy. He recommends Arabella and intends to separate Leonard for the time being. Stevan thought that Leonard had feelings for Siri's recently married wife.
He felt confident because he had an experience that started with hatred. According to him, hate and love are only slightly different and always end up being a regret that is late when he realizes his true feelings.
Losing would make one realize how much it means to those who left and hope that Leonard would feel that Arabella was an important woman in his brother's heart.
Meanwhile, still furious that his life has always been ruled by Stevan, Leonard is now pounding the table to vent the emotions that fill his every vein. To make things on the table messy.
"I'm not a child that you always have to manage, Stevan! Everything has a limit and this time you're out of bounds for meddling in my personal affairs. Arabella is my wife and I have the right to do anything to her and you must not interfere in the fate of my household!" Leonard sarcasm with his jaw clenched and his face reddened, as well as the sound of his teeth grinding which indicates that he is currently being overcome by anger.
"If you weren't my stepbrother, I would have smashed your face and made your wife not recognize her own husband!"
Stevan who still looks very calm and not at all afraid of Leonard's threats, now plans not to say that currently Arabella is on her way to the airport to go to New York with his best friend.
He really trusts his best friend who is married and will never mess with Arabella because he loves his wife so much.
'Looks like I'll have to keep Arabella's whereabouts a secret so Leonard doesn't get reckless and mess things up. Arabella had to feel happy and live a quiet life without being bothered by Leonard. This is a form of atonement for what I've done,' muttered Stevan, who was currently silent and didn't intend to respond to Leonard's wrath.
"I have a lot of work to do because a meeting will be held soon. If you're done getting angry and venting everything to me, it's better to go home now," Stevan said in a flat tone and looked back at his laptop.
Meanwhile, Leonard who is now feeling very frustrated, looks on his hips and laughs loudly while looking at Stevan who doesn't care about his anger at all.
"Wow... amazing. You really make me want to finish you off, Stevan! Of course I'll leave you after you tell me where to take all my wife's clothes. Oh yeah, one more thing, where is Arabella now? know it. I can't reach her because she won't pick up the phone at all from me. Now tell me where Arabella is!"
Still directing a look full of rage, Leonard waited for an answer from Stevan who he wanted so badly to punch him in the face. However, he still held back because he hoped that Stevan would tell Arabella whereabouts. Until the answer from his stepbrother made him even more frustrated and clenched his fists.
"Don't worry because Arabella is currently in a safe place. You'd better get used to not calling Arabella your wife because the one who should be called a wife is Ayumi." Stevan spoke still with his gaze on the laptop and didn't want to see the expression on Leonard's face.
Until the sound of screaming from Leonard filled the study and managed to make him cover both ears.
