Wirata walked to the back of the penthouse he had pointed out for her. At the end was a big and tall glass wall with a double-glazed sliding door. The curtains were pulled fully open and tied at the sides so when looking out she saw a big swimming pool. It looked like... a garden...? Garden with a swimming pool in the middle of it.
She looked to her left. She could see from the opened door that it was the kitchen. Wirata did not look around anymore, she walked in there. It was beautiful. If she was not in a bad and upset mood. it would have stunned her.
The room was big. The kitchen units were black and white. There were counters along one wall with a modern and beautiful design to suit the luxurious penthouse. The island in the middle had lots of draws. There was a dining table with ten chairs near the other glass wall which was able to see the view of the city outside. Everything was... beyond description for this place.
However, Wirata did not care. She saw a coffee maker and walked to it. Well, it was not just one machine, but there were three. The modern automatic coffee center she saw at first, a drip coffee maker and a kettle full of hot water for making an instant coffee. Opened the cabinets above her head to find a coffee jar. She decided to make an instant coffee as it the quickest one. What she cared right now was to get out of here.
Wirata put two spoons of coffee powder in her mug, and for his, she put ten spoons! Now pressing the water from the kettle to fill the mugs. Her head had stopped spinning so she was back to thinking mode.
**********
The tall figure wearing a soft blue robe walked into the living room as Jas and Ben opened the penthouse door and walked into the room at the sa ti. The two bodyguards bowed their heads to greet Stefan.
"Good morning, boss."
They said. Stefan looked at his n. They were in a dark suit ready for their job as usual.
"Get the car ready."
Stefan told his bodyguards.
"It's ready, boss."
Ben said. He could predict a little what's going to happen today, and now just waiting to see how much he would be accurate.
Stefan glanced at his n and nodded, shoving a hand in his hair, his brows knotted as he was thinking sothing in his head.
The bodyguards looked at the boss who walked to the bar, poured the whiskey into a thick glass then walked to stand near the wide glass panels, looking out. His unsmiling face had indicated that he was not in a good mood.
"Should we be worried?" Ben whispered to Jas while watching the boss lifted the whiskey glass and drank the whole lot in one swift move.
"Hm, not looking good, isn't he? Only one night and he looks like a Goner." Jas whispered back.
"I think you're right. He looked a little bit off."
Ben said in low voice. They were standing about five ters away from their boss and made sure the boss couldn't notice that they were talking about him. They were very good at talking in low whispering tone with their mouth hardly moved but they heard and understood each other very well.
"A lot off! He is behaving very weird." Jas replied.
"Like what?" Ben continued the conversation as it was their fun routine for starting the day, gossiping their own boss.
"Firstly, the boss never wastes his ti following won around and never got beaten by a woman."
Jas responded. They both glanced at Stefan's bruised face.
That's true. Stefan didn't have to waste ti chasing a woman. There were a lot of beautiful models and movie stars queueing up ready to jump into his bed. Even one of Bernardo's sweet birds had escaped from her godfather's cage to Stefan's bed. But Stefan only welcod her once just to make Bernardo angry and bruised his egos. Bernado was very angry indeed, felt losing face and his reputation damaged for a long ti from that incident.
"Secondly, the boss has never brought any woman up here. Thirdly, the boss doesn't last with any woman the whole night."
Last night they didn't get a call from the boss to send the woman back to her place as he normally did.
Ben nodded in agreent with his friend. It was true. He was thinking the sa in this case. Stefan wouldn't sleep with any woman all night long. He just wanted a woman to release his natural desire and that was it.
"You two take Wirata to her place."
Here ca the first order of the day. Jas and Ben bowed to acknowledge and turned to et each other's eyes, communicating in a silent language that only them two understood each other.
"Another thing, I've fired her. She won't work at the company anymore." Stefan told his n.
Not a surprise to Jas and Ben in this case. They could read Stefan's ga. It was because of his motto 'THE ABBOT DOES NOT EAT THE TEMPLE'S CHICKEN'.
So it ant if he wanted to eat the chicken, the chicken had to be rid of the temple first, getting fired to be free for Stefan to swallow her whole. Then the company employees couldn't say that the boss had lost his high spirit.
"Yes, boss."
The bodyguards acknowledged.
"Pack her stuff from the office as well."
She had worked there for over one month so she probably had her things on her desk.
"Where to, boss?" Jas asked his boss.
"Here! Since when are you stupid hah, Jas?! When she finishes packing. you bring her back here!"
Stefan snapped with an edgy voice. He didn't feel fresh and his head ached like hell. And his n were making him annoyed with their stupid acts.
"Ah, aning...you are going to keep her...Are you, boss?"
Ben asked a question which he could guess the answer. But just wanted to make sure. Ben and Jas had been with Stefan for so many years, so they could see and read their boss's thoughts a little and now they could guess which way it's going.
It's definitely going SOUTH!
Stefan poured more whiskey into the glass and sipped it slowly this ti, he was thinking why this morning his subordinate henchn were asking stupid questions like this. It was too early for him to use his aching head too much right now.
"Please don't get mad yet, boss. If I recall correctly, you've told us to remind and warn you not to raise any woman in a long-term contract. You only want one night stand not even repeat twice."
Jas was brave to say out as it was his duty to do so when seeing his boss wasn't likely himself or doing things against his words. And also because he was standing many ters away from the big boss so it was quite a safe distance.
"Ah, and you don't allow any temporal woman up here."
Ben added to help Jas to remind their boss of his strange behaviors.
The boss was quiet. Jas put his head close to Ben in whispering gestures.
"This kind of symptom, it is called ... Falling in love ... isn't it?"
Jas whispered to Ben. And right that second the whiskey glass flew straight toward them swiftly. The two bodyguards quickly jumped and dodged in different directions. Good job the glass was thick and it hit the carpet, soft landing enough not to break into pieces!
" You two shut up!... I don't love anyone. Don't ever say that stupid thing to my ears again. Do you understand? I don't have any feelings for won who are gold-diggers. They just want my money. When they look at they see a big fat check and it is fair enough that I just want to buy their body. And nothing more. it's just that. Do I make it clear enough to you two?! I hate gold-diggers!"
The dark voice snapped with anger. lifted his hand to rubbed his forehead. Stefan was not a stupid man. Being an heir of the rich family. From what he had learned all his life. Won were the sa, the thing they loved was the sll of dollars in his bank account.
He didn't care what they were thinking or feeling toward him. But from his experience, they all felt good to spend ti in bed with him that was for sure. He had money, lots of it. And it was true that money could buy everything that sellable in this world included won. So who cared about love? Not Stefan Mackenzie that's a curtain.
Lust, that's what he was after, not LOVE!
Stefan looked at his bodyguards. They were quiet now. These two did his head in sotis with their silly statents.
"If you forget. I'll remind you and make it clear again. Won are just for fun, there is no one special than another. They are the sa, no one gets a permanent contract with . It's the only sex that I look for, nothing else! Do you understand every word I say?"
The boss said it clear and loud. Before Ben and Jas could say they understood every word very clearly, the slender figure stood still in silent at the opened door linked to the back of the penthouse.
There were two mugs of coffee in her hands. She wore a black dress from last night. Her face was pale and her hair looked a little ssy, she tied it in a ponytail style. Ben and Jas were not sure since when she had been standing there and not sure if she had heard the attitude toward won the boss had just announced or not.
"Er ... boss." Jas said, tried to send a signal to warn Stefan. His boss didn't see her because he stood facing Jas and Ben, and his back to Wirata.
"These won are just toys, Between and them, it's exchange business deals. They give a good ti and I pay them good money. You should know well how much they love my money."
The harsh voice continued then he seed to notice his bodyguards gestures. Stefan slowly turned. There, the slim body standing between the door fra with two mugs in her hands, her face was emotionless and unreadable.
"If you've finished, please let go ho."
Wirata said. She walked to the bar and put his mug down, didn't bother to hand it straight to him. She had heard him every word! He's an evil jackass bastard!
Stefan stared at her. His brain was searching for words to say more, but nothing ca out. But only one minute, the handso face turned grim and his eyes looked into hers.
"You will co to stay here with and we will talk about the deal, a contract, in writing."
Wirata listened to the voice of the big boss. He seed to be accustod to issuing orders at all tis. Orders that no one under his commands had never dared to reject.
Inside her head, she was not sure which way life was going to lead her to, but one thing she was so sure of, she would be far away from this evil man. Wirata had heard how much he had insulted and looked down on won, wondering if he was born from the bamboo trunk!
Her brain was still slightly foggy, especially when seeing his face again. She needed a little ti to recover and to clear her mind, but of course, she hated this man to bits!
Co here to live with this evil mafia? ... In his dreams!
"Okay."
But her calm voice spoke with an easy gesture. Stefan stared at her face to find any hidden clues but he saw nothing, Stefan nodded, thinking she seed to understand easily now which was good. He hated complicated things, and won were complicated human beings!
Wirata only focused on 'GET OUT OF HERE'. That was it. So whatever he said she would agree, just for now.
"Jas and Ben, drive her ho and bring her back."
The boss ordered again ... Jas and Ben bowed to the order. The boss turned to Wirata again.
"You have your belongings at the apartnt as well, don't you? Bring all here."
He gave orders to everyone.
Wirata nodded without argunt, causing Stefan to feel surprised by her easy-going attitude and obedience to him.
"Don't play tricks with . I am warning you. "
The harsh voice gave her a sharp and knowing gaze. Wirata nodded again, didn't say anything. Her heart was dancing ... He was going to let her go! ...
Please! Don't be slow. She prayed for Jas to open the door very soon. Tried to hide everything under her indifferent expression, making herself look as calm as possible.
"Give Ben the apartnt key"
Stefan said. He felt distrustful of her 'too calm' manner. Wirata handed the apartnt key to Ben.
"Here it is." She said.
Stefan frowned. He thought it was a little weird when she not fight or giving him so argunt. He was used to her fighting with him. But Stefan shrugged. If she had any plan to run away, she should know better, that she couldn't escape from him.
Stefan nodded to his bodyguards, gestured them to go. Ben pulled the door open. Wirata's heart was beating rapidly with excitent. She hurried to walk to the opened door!
"Wait a minute"
The dark voice stopped Wirata in her tracks. She sighed, slowly turned to face him, again.
"Co here"
The order followed. Wirata turned to look at the opened door... If she rushed out now without walking back to him as he commanded, would she be able to escape or survive?
Three tall n were looking at her. Wirata drew in the air and decided to walk to the tall figure in the soft robe. Better to be safe than sorry, just had to be patient for another minute.
The big hand grabbed her waist and pulled her to him. The dark face bent down and crushed his lips on hers. He kissed her right in front of his n. Wirata held herself and was thinking of giving him a jab with her knee. But he stopped, lifted his face up and pushed her away.
Ben and Jas looked at each other before rolling their eyes, thinking that their boss was completely a goner!
"Co back with Jas and Ben. Do you understand?"
He repeated, staring at Wirata. She nodded and prayed it would be the last command that she would ever hear from him.
Stefan was not sure if he could trust her, looking at the emotionless face, her full lips were red because of his kiss, couldn't help bending down and gave her a peck on her lips again then he walked to pick up the coffee mug on the counter and strode back to his bedroom without looking back.
Wirata sighed with relief. Her face was blushed, feeling embarrassed that the evil boss kissed her in front of his n. Wirata didn't waste any more ti, she quickly walked out of the door, planning in her head what to do next!
Her brain started to work effectively again when she was free from the big powerful evil man!
Where to go?!
