Chapter 5: With him

After the scene I had in the hospital I head straight to our company. I used my own car so it's easier for me to get in here. While walking, I remember giving my calling card to the bar waiter but I didn't get any call from him. Is he that not interested working with me? Oh, I forgot, he needs to hide and go somewhere else because he might locked up in jail.

As usual, all employees greeted me as if I am their employer. Few minutes, I reached the accounting office and head straight to my table. I look at Chari's direction and she seems to have a lot to tell to me. But I signal her to make it that talk later because I need to finished my work, especially that I took a half day work.

Just as I seated on my chair, the office door opened. My eyes widened seeing my saviour entering. He was holding a box of pizza again. I wonder who ordered this time.

"Pizza delivery for Ms. Cruilein!" My eyebrows raise when I heard my name. A pizza again for me? Is it Aldrich who ordered it again because we had fought earlier?

"I never ordered a pizza!" I said walking towards his direction.

"So you're Ms. Cruilein, Ma'am?" My lips parted realizing that he was faking his reaction not remembering me. He just deliver a pizza here last time and we've seen each other in the bar. How come he didn't recognized me?

"Yeah, it's me! Didn't you recognized me?" I said disappointed.

"It is already paid Ma'am, you just need to receive it." So he wasn't answering my question! Is he avoiding me? He just handed me the box of pizza and was about to leave. How rude he is?

"Wait!" He stop at an instant and turn to where I was. I immediately place the box of pizza on my desk and hurriedly walking to him. I grab his hand and drag him out with me.

I was holding his hand until we reached where my car was park. I opened the front seat door and force him to get inside and immediately closed it. Also, I went in the driver's seat, I start the engine and run it.

"Wait! Where are you taking me?" he said protesting.

"We need to talk, there's an important matter for you to know!" I said with authority.

"Do you know what you are doing?" His expression seems obviously angry but it doesn't bother me.

"I exactly know what I'm doing!" I said in a serious tone.

"You are interfering in my work!" he said empathically.

"We just need to talk and just thank me afterwards." I wink at him and smile a bit. I know he's annoyed and irritated to what I did but it's for his sake though.

"Can you please stop the car?" he said frowning.

"I won't stop it unless we're done talking!" I said as if I am a stubborn one.

"Okay! Just tell me what it is!" he said obviously annoy.

"The guy you beat up last night is the nephew of the President and he is currently talking legal stuff with his attorney," I explained.

"So you are a two timer? You're hanging out with the son and nephew of the President?" From what I have seen from him, he looks so sarcastic.

"Then you know who my boyfriend is?" My eyebrows narrowed at him. Well, I don't need to ask that because Aldrich was popular.

"Yeah!" he replied shortly.

"You need to hide somewhere else because I am worried that you might lock up in jail!" Instead of having an expression of being afraid, he just laugh at what I said.

"Who are you to order me? You're not even my boss!" His eyes are staring sharply towards my direction. He has strong courage talking to me despite of being just thankful because I am warning him. "Who cares if I lock up in jail? I don't have my family, not even you!" I was a bit shock knowing that he has no family. It so sad knowing that he needs to do a lot of work just to fulfill his wants and needs. I feel so guilty that I am the reason that he quitted on his job.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you have no family. I just wanted to help you since you saved me from that jerk." I sighed. I wish he wouldn't just saved me that time. It's all my fault!

"You know Ma'am, whoever sees that kind of situation, they will do what I did. Also, you're not the only one I saved from that kind of man," he said reluctantly.

"Yeah, just said it was like that. But the situation is different now, the guy you beat is powerful than you imagine," I said insisting. Why is he like that? Why he would just accept my help?

"Then I will see him in court!" he said complacently. My lips just parted in half. This guy is different. A guy who has a strong courage.

"No, you can't! Even you said that you're not guilty because you just saved someone, you are still guilty because justice is only for rich people!"

"Are you really concern about me or you're just afraid that others will know that you are having an affair with someone while you're in a relationship with the son of the President?" My lips parted in half hearing him bringing that reason again.

"Of course not! I'm concern about you! I don't care if others will know that, because that's what I wanted so my engagement with my boyfriend will be cancel." I noticed that he looks at my direction with his serious expression.

"Are you done talking to me?" Is he still have this kind of feelings towards me? I assumed that he likes me because he said that I'm beautiful the first time he delivered a pizza in our office. But why is he acting cold towards me?

"Not yet!" I said not even looking at him. I felt annoyed that he was acting like this.

"I don't care if you're not done talking to me, just turn back the car now!" he said with authority.

"Okay!" I let a devilish smile before adding speed in my car. Instead of turning it back from our company, I run it straight faster than a while ago. I noticed him looking at me with his sharp eyes. But it doesn't bother me. I just continue driving straight not looking at him. I just smile because he didn't protest at all.

"Where are you taking me this time?" Even he seems angry, his manly voice sounds so sexy in my ears. I didn't response to him and just focus on my driving.

I stop the car when we reach the white sand of the ocean. It was a city bay and a public tourist spot here. I pressed the button to automatically open the roof of my car. I look at him and he was kind of amaze at what he's seeing.

"Are you wondering why we're here?" I said looking at him.

"Then why we're here?" he said reluctantly.

"Sometimes, all we need is to unwind to let out the bad spirits in our body." Instead of response, I heard him sigh.

"I have a work today, you know that." From the tone of his voice, looks like his anger subside.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to your manager." I grab the bottle of whisky in front of the glass window of my car and open it. The sun will set in few minutes and I think it would be nice watching it with a glass of whisky. "Let's have a drink, though!" I pour a content of whisky in the glass and handed him the other one. I smile when he reached for it. So, he wants a drink, too.

"Don't worry, too. That guy will not sue me for sure." I look at him having a bit of disbelief. How would he know that Marco will not sue him? Is he some kind of fortune teller?

"How would you say so?" I said drinking the whisky in my glass. But he just smile at me. All of a sudden my phone rings but it's just a message. I open it and read the content. It's from my boyfriend, he said that Marco will not continue the case against the bar waiter. I sigh, he was indeed a fortune teller. But it maybe just a coincident. I smile because there's no need to worry about. I look at him while examining his totality, his a good looking guy and has a built body.

"What are you looking at?" Damn! Am I already drank? Why his lips looks so kissable? It's like it was tempting me to own it.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" The way he was looking at me, I think he has no intention to tell me that. Well, we don't know each other that much and here I am asking him personal matters.

"I have a girlfriend and we live together." He drank the whisky afterwards. But why I feel disappointed? Is it because I like him? Well, he only has a girlfriend and not a wife. What am I thinking though?

"Oh, you're living together?" I just said then drink straight the whisky.

"We're planning to get married soon, but right now it's still a plan because we don't have enough savings for that." Why he was saying that to me? I don't even ask him about that. Did he noticed that I like him so he was informing me about that.

"Oh, you sure love each other?" I said reluctantly.

"Yes. How about you? I heard you're engagement with the President's son is coming."

"Yeah, right," I said reluctantly. I know he's not interested about my feelings so I don't need to tell him that I don't like the idea getting married with the President's son.

"Do you love him?" All of a sudden, I somehow feel comforted. Except for my friend Chari, he's the second one who ask that to me.

"Do you want an honest answer or a fake one?"

"I choose the fake one," he said smiling. Oh, my heart might seems to explode because of his sweet smile.

"I love him and I want to marry him," I said with a smile. It's a fake one so I know he understand the real one.

"Then why marry him if you don't love him?"

"Let's say it was my parents idea and not mine to decide." I sighed. How I wish I was just living a simple and normal life. I don't need fancy things, all I want is happiness.

"So you're doing crazy stuff just to cancel you're engagement with your boyfriend? But you know, you're doing wrong. You're lucky one because you have a parents guiding you, picking the right person that is suitable for you." It was really annoying and irritating hearing those words from him. Crazy stuff? I'm doing wrong? What the heck? Okay, I will just let it slide this time.

Time passed and we watch the sunset together. It was a nice scenery, calm and peaceful. And because we are having a good time with each company, we almost forget to went back home and just feel the breeze and smell of wind coming from the ocean. We didn't notice the time that it is almost ten in the evening. We drank not too much but he insist that he was the one to drive my car because he was worried in my situation. Or maybe he just didn't trust my driving skill? I just let him do what he wants because to be honest I'm a bit tipsy.

Few minutes, we reach our mansion. I look at his direction seeing him amaze looking at his surroundings. The gate automatically opens and he enter my car inside. It was his first time entering our mansion but I didn't see any expression of being nervous from him. But I just got back on my senses remembering that my dad will yell at me because of anger, the reason that I used my own car not informing him. But I am Brianna Cruilein and I know what I will going to do!

We reach the front door of the mansion. As expected, may parents are waiting at me in front. I saw my dad's face and his expression was the one I expected to see. Christian Jhay, the name of the guy I'm with, open the car door and get out of it. I waited for him to open mine and he didn't disappointed me. I get out of my car and walk straight towards my parents with him.

"Who told you that you are allowed to used your car?" My dad's face is obviously terrifying but I'm not terrified at all. "And who's this?" my dad said raising an eyebrow. Well, apart from my boyfriend, Christian is the second man I bring in our mansion. I don't think if my dad will believe me to what I am going to introduce the man I'm with.

"Dad, Mom, he is Christian, my new driver," I said smiling looking towards Christian's direction. He's obviously startle to what I have said. But I think he was getting my idea, too.

"Good evening, Ma'am, Sir!" Christian said bowing to my parents. He was polite, too.

"But he's wearing a uniform from a pizza company?" my dad said questioning if he was my driver for real.

"He just resigned to his work earlier as a pizza delivery!" I said in an instant. My parents seems to believe me at this time.

"I have to go, Ma'am, Sir," Christian said politely.

"No!" my dad protest. "If you are my daughter's driver then you should live here starting tonight." I smile at that thought. Well, I was expected my dad will said it because my recent driver live here, too. But I don't think if Christian will like the idea of living here.
