Set spotted Lupin getting into his car and hurried to catch up leaving Arnold behind. He quickly made his way determined to stop Lupin before he could get away. But as he approached, Lupin pretended not to notice him and quickly drove away, leaving Set frustrated and unsuccessful in his attempt to stop him.
" Tsk. I'm sure that's Director Lupin." Set frown thinking he missed a chance to talk to Lupin
Arnold, who was left by Set, looks at his phone. It was a message from Yanna's side saying everything is ready, he deleted the messages calmly after sending his reply, he looked at where Set was standing and then he ran towards him pretending to not know what happened.
" Set, haa.. haa.. what are you doing.. running over here?" Arnold asked while catching his breath looking around
" What do you see me doing? You're too slow! I just saw Director Lupin earlier but I'm too late, as my manager you should be at least capable of stopping him, what a waste." Set complain harshly
Arnold clenched his fist enduring his anger, he changed the subject," Set you know it's a big night of course I won't notice things outside our plan, besides we should head inside or we will miss the big show,"
Hearing his words successfully divert Set's attention.
" You're right, let's go, let see if she can still make a comeback after this,"
Frustrated with his failed attempt to stop Lupin, Set stormed into the Rose Hotel, determined to make sure everything was set for the upcoming event. He meticulously checked every detail, making sure that everything was in place and ready for the big show
The Rose Hotel is a hotel especially built for wealthy families. It's famous for its luxurious style, but aside from that, it is also known to have very delicious delicacies, which is why some big shots are often seen here eating. The second floor of the Rose Hotel was made to be a restaurant with a large variety of food, making it convenient for guests to eat even at later hours. Like restaurants outside, they also have private rooms for business deals.
"What about the reporters I talked to before? Are they on standby?" Set asked, afraid to make a mistake.
"Yes, what do you want to drink while waiting?" Arnold asked, browsing through the book that was placed on the side table of the room. "Everything here is so expensive," he murmured.
Hearing Arnold's words made Set smirk. He proudly said while looking down on Arnold, "This is a luxurious hotel for wealthy people. Besides, the food and drinks here are worth every penny. Besides, you're just too poor. These prices are not as expensive as you think."
Feeling hurt by the way Set looked down on him, Arnold realized that after everything he had done for Set, Set never saw him in any other way. He's living like a slave and had to leave his family to cater to Set's every demand. At first, he thought it was okay out of pity and understanding how hard it is to live without your family. But as time passed, he realized that Set is not worthy of sympathy. Instead, it's himself who deserves it because at the end of the day, Set has a family that protects him and money, while he has nothing, all because of Set. People started to distrust him, and if someday Set made him a scapegoat, he won't be able to do anything. His family might get into trouble, too. He would have a hard time getting a good job because he offended a lot of people for Set.
"You're right," Arnold replied.
"Anyway, I'm in a good mood now so you can order the most expensive wine. It's been a while since I tasted it," Set said, waving his hand nonchalantly.
Arnold turned his back to Set to make the order, suppressing the anger and pity he feels for himself. After making the orders, he sat on the sofa while Set went into the bathroom.
A sudden thought came to Arnold ' after tonight, if it is successful, Set would be taken by his family. However, Yanna assured me she can help me get away, but.. I know Set very well. He will figure out what happened and definitely chase after me, which is not impossible. After that, my life would be over. And I'm going to put Yanna in trouble again.. I helped Set to ruin Yanna's life, even to the point of making Yanna hate what she used to enjoy doing before. I can't make the same mistake or I won't be able to endure the guilt inside me. Maybe I really have to deal him personally '
Arnold opened his eyes, looked at the time, and saw that it was just in time for the food to come. He set the drinks and food at the table, then looked at the bathroom. He knows Set and he is familiar with him. Set is not someone who will trust people, not even him. Although Set tried to hide it, he still found it out. Anything he served to Set would be thrown, and Set would pour himself a drink.
Knowing Set's careful habit, Arnold put a colorless powder on his own glasses, then he put some juice. He also put some colorless powder on Set's glasses.
Arnold looked at his arrangements and then sent a message to Yanna to change the plan. He will personally deal with Set. Since he is going to hell sooner or later, it's better to drag the mastermind himself.
