Two days later, Wirata took a flight back to Las Vegas quietly in the hope that Ben and James would take Summer to Evelyn's clinic.
When arrived, she checked in at a small hotel, did not go to the apartment or her mother's because she was pretty sure that Stefan would put his men there to watch her. Wirata called Evelyn who had just got back from the seminar in Boston.
"I'm glad to hear from you, Wine. How was the holiday with your boyfriend?" Evelyn's question made Wirata paused immediately. What the heck did those crazy men tell Evelyn?
"Holiday with my boyfriend?"
"Yes. The two guys, James and Ben, your boyfriend's bodyguards told me that you and he went on holiday abroad."
Evelyn was confident with what she said. Wirata frowned and gasped.
What?!
"Your boyfriend's so handsome. James showed me the picture of you two in the restaurant. So, are you back now?"
Wirata sighed, gathered from what Evelyn said. James and Ben told Evelyn that Stefan was Wirata's boyfriend, they had her picture with the bad evil mafia to convince Evelyn. That's why Evelyn believed them and handed Summer to them. Very crafty! Very evil!
"Did you get my e-mail?" Wirata asked Evelyn.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot to tell you, I have stopped using that e-mail address. It got hacked and I never trusted it anymore so I just don't use it, also forgot the password already. I'll give you the new one. Anyway, I'm glad that you are back in time for Summer's appointment."
Evelyn said. That explained why Evelyn didn't know that Wirata was in England.
"Ah, yeah. That's why I'm calling you. Well, uh, you know uh, me and my boyfriend, we had an argument and I am breaking up with him." Wirata came up with a new story.
"Oh, really?! I'm sorry to hear that."
"My boyfriend is a brutal mafia. I'm afraid of him now. I don't think we suit each other. The thing is he has Summer and I want my baby back." Wirata said.
"Oh, right. What do you want me to do?" Evelyn understood easily.
"This evening at 5 p.m. if they bring Summer to you. Could you please keep him there for me? Please do whatever to make them leave Summer with you and I will collect him at your clinic later. I want my baby back, Eve." Wirata said in a pleading voice.
"Sure! Summer is your baby. I don't see the reason why your mafia boyfriend should have him. Don't worry I'll help you to get Summer back." Evelyn said as a good friend.
"Thanks, Eve. You are an angel. I'll give you a call later. I'll be watching them very closely somewhere near your clinic."
"Okay. See you around, Wine. Bye."
"Bye."
*******
That evening by appointment time Ben drove to park in front of the clinic of Veterinarian Evelyn. James was carrying little Summer. At the reception area, there was a receptionist.
"Hello, I've brought Summer for his appointment. " James said to the woman.
"Oh. Hi, just a minute, please. Let me see the schedule." The receptionist said then click click click on the mouse, her eyes were on the computer screen.
"Oh, yes. Summer is in for a check-up and treating. Please sit over there, sir. You are the next queue. "
She invited James to sit in the waiting area in front of the counter. There were a few people waiting with a cat, a dog, and a sheep.
James was waiting not long when he heard she called out Summer's name. James carried Summer into the examination room. Evelyn was in there wearing a white gown and she smiled at him and Summer.
"Hi, boy. How are you today? You look good and smell, um...different. " Evelyn greeted the puppy, the man in a suit did not smile but he looked at her with friendly eyes. Evelyn remembered him. His name was James and he was the bodyguard.
Eve told James to put Summer down at the patient's bed. Then proceeded to check the dog.
"Er ... oh, this is not good. Summer has got a temperature. He was okay last time I checked. What did you to him? Ah, this is bad. I am afraid the flu might attack him again. Oh, look. His skin's also red, it looks like, um, rash." Evelyn said with a serious and worried expression on her face.
James was thinking that it's because the boss used his shampoo on the puppy. James was worried now.
"What should I do?" He asked.
"You have to leave him here, Summer has to stay overnight at the clinic so we can treat and watch him closely, and I'll give you a call tomorrow. " Evelyn said.
James nodded and said goodbye.
Later, when looking through the window, saw James's car disappeared from the parking lot. Evelyn waited for five minutes then gave Wirata a call, she was in a coffee shop opposite the clinic. Wirata looked around to make sure it was safe then she ran to the clinic.
"Oh, Summer, my baby! Mammy is here. Oh ... How are you? ... being beaten by a bad mafia huh? Mother is here now. I am sorry, baby. I will not leave you like this again. Let's go home."
Wirata said to the puppy and hugged Evelyn and said thank. She hurried to carry Summer out of the clinic's back door.
Wirata hugged the little dog. The smell of a strange shampoo made her sniff at the little guy. It smelled like Stefan which somehow she remembered from the last memory.
Crazy evil! How could he use his strong shampoo on her puppy?! Summer only used a special shampoo which was gentle for his baby skin.
While she was walking on the pavement, a black car wandered and stopped near her and the front door flung open.
"James!" Wirata gasped in a shock and stopped right in tracks.
"Miss Wirata. Please get in the car." James said and opened the back door of the car. Wirata widened her eyes when saw who was sitting in there!
"Get in now!"
The dark voice ordered. Wirata froze for a few seconds then looked around to find the way to run. James stood at her back and the car that followed this car was pressing the horn in an annoying gesture. Their car was parking in the place that not allow stopping. Wirata's face turned pale, seeing that she had run out of options. there was no way to escape now. Therefore she stepped into the car and sat beside the tall body!
"Arf!"
Summer made a noise as if he was glad, scrambling from her arms to go to Stefan! Wirata couldn't believe her eyes. She grabbed him and moved to sit near the other side of the door.
"I thought you would have lasted a bit longer."
The gruff voice said with a hint of laughter in his throat. Wirata turned to stare at him. In her heart still couldn't believe her luck. She shouldn't have underestimated this mad mafia. But it was because she was thinking of Summer. And looked at the dog now. He's trying to jump to Stefan, right in front of her! Wirata didn't let him, she hugged him in her embrace.
"Don't waste time. Just say what you want. "
Wirata snapped at him, managed to bury her fear deep. She didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with this mafia anymore. Life must go on!
"We will have a proper talk when we get home."
That was all he said. And there was silent before Summer made a leap to sit on Stefan's lap successfully!
"Ruff!" He made noise and licked his face as if he was so glad for his achievement!
Wirata gasped and was shocked to see such an unacceptable behavior of her dog. She came back to rescue him but looked at his gratefulness!
Great!
"Woh! Don't lick my face, boy. It's not for you. Remember? It's for your mammy and she is here now."
The voice said to Summer! Teasingly! Sent Wirata an unreadable gaze.
"What?!"
Wirata was stunned to what she just heard and saw.
