Chapter 17 - What Is the Real Motive?

'Damn, why is she here? What does she want to do? Then why are Clara and Jacob happy to greet her?' Monologue Mr.K silently.

"Finally, you came," Jacob said, smiling.

The girl stepped forward and sat next to Jacob.

"Hi, I'm Jessi, you must be Clara, right?" said Jessi, holding out her hand.

"Ah yeah, I'm Clara, Jacob's younger brother," Clara said, shaking Jessi's hand.

"Then you?" Jessi asked, pointing to Mr.K.

Clara, who was aware of this, immediately introduced Mr.K to her, that Mr. K was his assistant, and of course, Clara introduced Mr.K to the nickname, Ken.

Jessi just nodded her head in response.

"So ... how long has Jessi and brother been lovers?" Clara asked, displaying her sincere smile.

Jessi didn't answer Clara's question directly but glanced at Jacob while blushing. Jacob also lovingly embraced his lover, and answered Clara's question, that they became lovers for about seven months ago.

"Wow, it's been a while, why did you just tell me?" Clara said, pouting her lips and folding her hands on her chest.

"You are busy, and you haven't seen me for a long time, even if you meet for a short time, how can I tell you," Jacob said defensively.

"Ugh, cheating, brother," Clara sneered.

That's right, sometimes Clara will act childish if in front of her brother and doesn't care who is around her.

"Don't pout me like that. My little sister," Jacob teased Clara as he rubbed her hair gently.

Clara just blinked the bead slowly.

'Are Jacob and Clara harmonious brothers like this? Then the mastermind is just the person in front of me? 'asked Mr.K silently to himself.

"I seem to be ignoring here," Jessi said softly.

Clara and Jacob heard that immediately looked at Jessi together and chuckled.

"So, are you jealous of my sister?" Jacob teased his lover.

"How can I be jealous of your sister?" Snorted Jessi, pretending to be annoyed.

"Alright, I'm sorry I ignored you earlier."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, too," said Clara chimed in.

"It's okay. I'm just kidding ... don't be taken seriously, okay," said Jessi cheerfully.

"Brother!, it turns out your lover can deceive us," laughed Clara cheerfully, patting her brother on the shoulder.

Jacob shrugged his shoulders and laughed with Clara.

The only person who feels uncomfortable there is Mr.K, he can't joke with the three people around him.

The only thing that Mr.K can think of is ...

... how to find out the motive from Jessi, what is she currently planning? And what is the meaning of the sentence Mr.K heard before about the phrase 'Give up automatically'?

It feels like Mr.K wants to unmask the girl in front of him directly in front of Jacob and Clara. But of course, that can't be done by Mr.K, because Mr.K hasn't had enough reliable evidence for now, and Mr.K hasn't also found out whether the attacker and the attacker are the same or different people.

Clara is aware that the only person who does not interact is Mr.K, so Clara deliberately elbows Mr.K, who is still struggling with his thoughts.

"Hum, I know," Mr.K snorted at Clara in a whisper.

"After you just stay quiet," Clara said carelessly.

"Looks like you guys are close," Jacob suddenly said when he saw Clara and Mr.K's behavior.

Clara quickly clarified it.

"He ... mmm, we are close friends ... but lately, he's annoying," Clara said, ending with a whisper in Jacob's ear.

Jacob just smiled with another meaning.

"I just found out you have a close friend," Jacob teased Clara.

'Aish what should I say to him?, there's no way I would tell Mr.K's identity.'

"Well ... we had known for a long time and separated for a long time when he returned, I immediately asked him to be my assistant," Clara said as relaxed as possible.

"Is it just a close friend? I think you guys are fit to be lovers," Jessi said suddenly.

Suddenly Clara, who had sipped her drink immediately, spit it out.

Somehow Mr.K reflexively took the cloth and cleaned the corners of Clara's lips and the mess Clara was creating.

'What is he doing? Why do my cheeks feel hot? '

Clara immediately brushed off Mr.K's hand, which was still busy wiping Clara's mess, while Jessi and Jacob only smiled at the two of them.

"I'll clean it," snorted Clara, taking the cloth Mr.K had been holding.

Mr.K did not refuse. Instead, he gave it directly to Clara.

"I'm just helping you," Mr.K softly cooled.

"Looks like there will be a love story that will grow here," Jacob said casually.

Mr.K and Clara are both silent, but the difference is now Clara's face has turned red.
