Mr. K was accompanied by a girl who was Anthony's younger sister to the dean room.
"What major are you? I've never seen you before."
Mr. K spins his brain for a moment as he thought of the direction that would suit his appearance this time.
"Mmm ... I ..- I'm majoring in IT," said Mr.K stuttered
The girl nods her head.
"You already have friends here?" asked the girl to Mr.K.
Mr. K slightly scratched the nape of his neck, which did not itch while looking down a little.
"I haven't got friends here yet."
"Mmm, it looks like you're a good person. Will you be friends with me?" asked the girl, cheerfully, holding out her hand.
"Is it okay? ... You're a beautiful girl ... while I'm like this," said Mr.K as if he lowered himself to his appearance this time.
"Hey friends, not because you see the appearance, you should still believe in yourself," said the girl with a smile.
Mr. K tried to review her smile and then shook the girl's hand.
It didn't feel like the two of them had arrived in front of the rector's building. The girl pointed to the rectorate building and told him where the dean room was.
After giving directions to Mr.K, the girl waited for Mr.K outside the rectorate building.
Mr. K looked as if he had stepped into the rectorate building, but of course, Mr.K did not enter the dean room.
Mr. K has no business with the dean, right?
After Mr.K felt that he was spending enough time in the building, Mr.K came out of the building casually.
"Already completed ?"
"Hum."
"Come with me ... I'll take you around this campus," said the girl cheerfully.
"Y..- yes," said Mr. K, nodding his head doubtfully.
The girl did not realize that Mr. K was trying to get closer to her to find out the gap from Anthony.
...
...
Clara, who is now in her own house without being accompanied by Chris, feels bored with the absence of activities that she has to do, yet Mr.K has not informed her in recent days.
Because of her boredom, Clara tried to call Mr.K with the cellphone Mr.K gave her if she wanted to contact Mr.K.
Mr.K did not pick up one call, but this time Clara didn't give up, she redialed Mr. K's number back, until...
"Hello."
"Mr ... Mr. K ??"
"Hum."
"Hey !!! Why did you leave me with your brother? And why don't you tell me what happened to you? Can't you tell me a little brief news for me? If you don't want to talk to me right away, you can also tell me through your brother. that .... "
Clara pauses her sentence to take a deep breath because she unconsciously asked many questions to Mr. K without the slightest pause.
"Sorry...."
One word that only came out of the mouth of Mr.K. He realized that he shouldn't have told the girl at all, especially making big questions to her all of a sudden.
But, isn't Mr. K's not wholly entirely wrong? He just didn't want the girl to worry more about him if knowing the truth, Mr. K meant to have to ask her to stay at home is because he thinks Clara will safe, and no one could meet her or kidnap her. Mr. K didn't want that bad thing will happen to her!
"What ?!! Why apologize? I don't need a word of forgiveness from you! I want you to explain everything to me," said Clara in a high tone.
Mr. K gulps his saliva roughly. Mr.K jolted a little to hear Clara's voice, which sounded unfriendly like before, and honestly, this is the first time for Mr.k to be yelled at by someone. Not even his family dared to yell at him.
"Okay ... okay, I'll explain to you briefly," said Mr.K succumbing to Clara.
'I can't possibly tell you everything chronologically ... what should I tell you first?'
"Someone's after me-"
"W ...- what? Is it because of me? I'm sorry, Kevin."
"Hey, how do you know my real name?"
"Mmm ... I ..- I know it from your brother," said Clara honestly.
Mr.K sighed for a moment. He didn't want his client to know his real name.
"Can you keep my name secret? I don't want many people to know my name."
"Hum ... I can shut up .. now continue your story."
"I think they are targeting me because I'm your assistant ... luckily, he doesn't know my real identity and thinks I'm weak .."
"Then ?" said Clara enthusiastically.
"I hid for a while so that the person who targeted me could not find my tracks ... away from you ... That included it in the plan."
Clara looked stunned by Mr.K's words.
'Is that how professional the person who chased me to the point that Mr. K had to move away from me so as not to be traced?' Muttered Clara asking herself.
"I purposely told Chris to take care of you because I'm sure Chris could not possibly hurt you ... and I hope that as the previous instructions, you do not come out of my house."
"What's wrong with your house? Can you make sure they won't be here when you are not there?"
"Take it easy, my house has complete security without you knew it, and I can monitor you from afar; I'll go home when my work is accomplishing it; take care of yourself. Don't forget to treat your wounds dry too."
Instead of saying "Yes" to Mr. K, Clara nodded her head instead. She forgot that Mr. K could not see the nod of her head.
"Hey, did you hear what I said?" Mr.K asked Clara because he did not hear a response from Clara.
"Ah ... yes, I heard it... I will obey your words, but you also promise to take care of yourself."
"Of course ... I closed it first."
"But ..."
Not yet Clara ended her conversation Mr.K cut off the phone.
"Arggh ... I called him ... why did he turn off the phone?" Clara grumbled irritably.
There was relief in Clara's heart because she could already hear Mr.K's voice. It was enough for Clara to be able to listen to the reason she couldn't go home, even though the reason was that he involves in her troubles, but that's okay, wasn't it Clara who paid her to investigate the person following her from the start? So shouldn't that be a risk in his duties?
Even though Clara is currently feeling a little guilty for Mr. K's, he is now fighting to protect her.
"I should be the one apologizing to you," Clara whispered.
