"What if Ace turns out to be a criminal? or a mobster or a murderer?" Karin asked as she had in her mind.
"Do you think so dear?" Aska asked while squinting his eyes.
"I believe so dear." Karin said looking at Aska's face.
"Then how can he be so considerate and affectionate with a child? You know that Arnest really likes being held by Ace." Aska said with a surprised look why Karin was so suspicious of Ace.
"It seems you know Ace better than I know him." Aska said with a teasing tone.
"Honey, I don't like it when you're too nice to Ace. I want you to be careful with Ace." Karin said she didn't want anything to happen to Aska just because of Ace.
"Okay dear, I will always be careful of anyone who has evil intentions on my family. But I really trust people who I have judged well at the beginning, like Ace who is honest with his goals and puts his trust in me to manage his company." said Aska who was so sure of putting it down.
"Hopefully your kindness will also be rewarded with kindness, sweetheart? The important thing is that you have to be careful. Don't let a friend stab you in the back." Karin said while holding Aska's hand very tightly.

"Hopefully your kindness will also be rewarded with kindness, sweetheart? The important thing is that you have to be careful. Don't let a friend stab you in the back." Karin said while holding Aska's hand very tightly.
"Yes dear, God will surely protect us." Aska said hugging Karin tightly.
"Let's sleep now, shall we." Karin said she didn't tell the story because Aska really believed in Arion.
"Hm....I love you dear." whispered Aska with his eyes closed.
"I love you too dear." Karin said with her eyes closed as well.

"What about Ace? He's not awake yet, should we wake him up?" Karin asked Aska who was tidy and ready to go to work.
"Just leave Rin, maybe he's still weak and not feeling well." said Aska was forced to postpone the signing of the cooperation with Arion.
"What if he wakes up later?" Karin asked with a bad feeling.
"If Ace wakes up in good condition, you can tell him that you are ready to work with him. For when you can work you can ask Ace directly." Aska said as he took his bag to leave immediately.
Karin could only be silent and nodded her head without speaking.
"Where's Arnest dear?" Aska asked looking for Arnest's whereabouts.
"In front of Aunt Imah." Karin said holding Aska's hand walking outside to find Arnest while going to work.
"Arnest dear, Daddy's leaving first, honey.. Take care of Momy, honey." Aska said while kissing Arnest's cheek in exasperation.
"I'll go first Rin." Aska said kissing Karin's forehead passionately.
"Be careful, honey." Karin said while kissing the back of Aska's hand.
With a wave of her hand, Karin let Aska go who was driving his own car.
"Aunt Imah, please, look after Arnest for a while, okay?" said Karin who walked in intending to wake up Arion to get up immediately and go home.
Karin carefully approached the one who was still sleeping tightly.
Karin looked back at the outline of Arion's face. which almost resembled Aska's face.
"Aahhhh!!!" Karin shouted as Arion's strong hands pulled her waist until her body fell into his arms.
"Aahhh!! let go!!" Karin shouted when she realized where she was.
"Who told me to come close to me and look at my face?" said Arion in a deep voice.
With full force Karin hit Arion's chest to get out of his embrace.
"Uhukk... Uhukk... Uhukk"
Arion coughed while holding his chest.
"Why did you hit me?" asked Arion looking at Karin before his eyes closed again.
Karin stood slightly away from where Arion was lying. Her mind was a little frantic thinking about whether the hit was too hard.
Karin stood for a long time waiting for Arion to wake up again but he didn't wake up.
Karin slowly approached Arion to confirm Arion's condition.
Half sure Arion really didn't move. Karin held Arion's wrist to see Arion's pulse.
With a quick movement, Arion's hand caught both of Karin's hands and held them very tightly.
"Why do you always try to hurt me?" asked Arion without letting go of his grip.
"Let go of me, I have to talk to you." Karin said with certainty.
"Tell me now if it's good news I'll let it go." said Arion in a low voice.
"I'll be working with you from now on, so hurry up and get to work." Karin said seriously.
"Really? Are you sure? You didn't lie to me, did you?" asked Arion in disbelief.
"Well if you don't believe us we won't be leaving now." Karin said with certainty.
"Okay I believe you, but my body is still weak you want to take me home to get my medicine?" asked Arion with a pitiful look.
"It's up to you, let's quickly set off before I change my mind." Karin said breaking away and then taking the bag she had prepared, especially the bag containing Arnest's equipment.
With a weak body Arion got up from his sleep then sat back on the sofa.
"How? you ready right?" Karin asked then intended to walk out but her steps stopped when she saw Arion didn't move from his seat.
Reluctantly, Karin came back to Arion and held out her hand.
Arion smiled then accepted Karin's hand. Under Karin's grasp, Arion walked out to his car.
"Aunt Imah, give Arnest to Mr. Ace so that he can be on his lap on his thigh." Karin said in a sitting position at the driver's seat.
After Arnest was in Arion's lap, Karin started her car at a slow speed.
"Where are we now?" Karin asked seeing Arion who was joking with Arnest.
"To my house, you have the place right?" said Arion calmly.
