Lucas' body was laid on his soft bed. They just got to another mansion in the New York area. Yeah... They brought the unconscious Lucas back to the mansion in New York. What else can we do? It was no longer safe there for the Master to live in. What's more, Lucas is sick, they can't wait for Lucas to come to his senses to save his life right?
"Miss, can you look after Master? We have another task to complete." Said Mike, who had just put some folders in the big cupboard with the password as the key.
Zoe turned. He winced. Did Mike tell him to take care of Lucas? Hey, they're gonna leave him alone with Lucas lying down? But they were indeed in a precarious situation where Lucas had to be under someone's supervision. He had to help them, right? They have been kind to help him and take care of all his needs.
"Okay. But isn't there anyone to accompany me to look after Mr. Lucas?" asked Zoa who was still unsure of her decision.
Mike shook his head quickly. "No Miss. That would make things difficult. Besides, we haven't selected the people to hire here. I'll trust you, okay?"
"Calm down. Nothing will happen here. Everything is safe, Miss." Said Erix who saw Zoa's worried expression.
Zoa finally nodded slowly. "Okay. But you won't be long, will you?"
Erix scratched the back of his head non-itchy. While Mike, the man smiled faintly. It took several hours to carry out their duties. Is that soon?
"No. Harry will follow soon too. You just have to watch over the Master until he wakes up. After that, we'll take your place, Miss." Said Mike later. Is he lying? Of course. Doesn't it take long to secure a mansion as big as the presidential palace? Seriously.
"And this is your cell phone now. If anything happens to Master, call us immediately." Mike continued as he handed Zoa a new cell phone. "There's only number four here. Me, Erix, Harry and Mr. Do you understand?"
Zoe nodded. He looked at the cell phone in his hand. It's not that he didn't have a cell phone before, it's just that he left it when he left the house and was chased by the strangers.
"Master will wake up in an hour. If Master asks where we are, just answer in the dungeon." Erik explained.
Zoe nodded again. Then Mike and Erix immediately came out of the spacious room. They left Zoa and Lucas alone. Gosh... Zoa doesn't know what to do now. Was he just going to look at Lucas until he came to his senses? No. He might die of boredom because he kept looking at Lucas who was closed.
Slowly he began to approach the slightly open glass window. The night air is not good for health. Lucas was sick, he didn't want the man to get sicker just from breathing the air at night. He then closed the curtain after previously locking the large glass window.
Zoa then looked around. There is a bookshelf in the corner of the room. It would be best if he read one of the books there while he waited for Lucas to come to his senses. Is it okay?
Zoa picked up one of the thick brown books. Aish... From the cover, it looks interesting. He likes reading books. Whether it's a book about the world or a storybook, he likes anything new.
He sat down on the sofa not far from Lucas' bed. He looked briefly at Lucas, the man was not aware. Then he opened the book excitedly. Erix said Lucas would wake up in an hour. It was okay to read a few pages of his book. Alright... Let's read something new!
Zoa is still engrossed in reading. The book explains many things about a country. Where each country has characteristics that are different from other countries. Whether it's positive or negative. These characteristics depend on several factors such as geographic location, history, political conditions, economy, and others. This makes each country unique and easy for people to recognize. For example, Saudi Arabia. They have a characteristic with petroleum that can make their country the largest oil exporter in the world.
"Echem."
Zoa suddenly turned around when she heard someone clearing her throat. Oh my gosh, since when did this guy come to his senses? Has it been an hour?
"You're awake? Why didn't I know?" she asked with cute twinkling eyes.
The man didn't answer. He just kept staring at Zoa in silence.
"You need something?" asked Zoa who didn't get another answer. Gosh. Is Lucas mute after seven hours of unconsciousness?
"Sit down." He said then. He was also tired of looking up because Lucas was still standing in front of him. You know, Mr. Vantouxer is too tall. Meanwhile, when he stood next to Lucas, it was only chest-length. Too short or Lucas too tall? Who knows.
Zoa shifted slightly from her seat, making room for Lucas. Meanwhile, the man just kept quiet and sat quietly. His face was a little paler than usual. Zoa felt even more guilty seeing it.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know the waiter put poison in your drink." His expression was full of regret. He then lowered his head. He looked down at the thick book in his hand, which was still open.
Lucas. The man smiled faintly at the apology from the girl he found. Why did his heart feel ticklish to see the look of regret from this girl? Very weird.
"Hmm." The answer is short. Not even an open mouth. Damn that guy.
Zoa turned back to Lucas. "How is your body? Are you okay?" Zoa asked again. This time he put away the book in his hand. Isn't it rude if we talk to people but we are still focused on other things?
"Hmm."
"I'll get you a drink. Usually, people in a coma, when they wake up, will ask for a drink. But why not you? That's very strange." He said then got up from his seat to get a drink on the nightstand beside Lucas' bed. As for Lucas, he kept an eye on Zoa's every activity in silence. Ah, that girl. Why does Lucas always want to smile seeing him?
Zoa returned to the sofa with a glass full of water in her hand. He handed it to Lucas.
Lucas accepted it without saying anything. Then he drank it slowly.
"At least say thank you Mr stone." Said Zoa who was immediately looked at by Lucas who was still drinking his water.
"You offered yourself," Lucas replied as soon as he finished half his drink. Should I say thank you to this girl? Hey. He offered himself. Lucas didn't ask for any help either.
Zoa shrugged. "Thank you not just after asking for help, Mr. Luc."
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Then?"
Zoe sighed. "Okay, don't worry about it. You're sick, I don't want to add to your illness just because of what I said." He said then. Gosh. Lucas did a prank on him or did he not know how to thank him? Ah never mind.
Lucas didn't respond. He looks around. Where are all his men? Why is only this girl here?
"Mike and Erix are doing some underground work. Harry will follow."
Lucas turned. Do Zoa reply what is he thinking? He can read a person's mind or is it just a coincidence?
"Erix said that before leaving. Because you looked like you were looking for them, so I said it before you asked." He said with a slight grin. Aish. Why is he so cute?
Lucas looked away again. "Just keep on reading." He said without turning to Zoa. He took his cell phone on the table.
Zoa nodded happily. Why not earlier? Even though he was curious about the continuation of his reading about other countries. Then he picked up the book that was lying on the table. Then look for the last page he read earlier. While Lucas, the man was already busy with his cell phone. Find out about the mastermind behind what happened to him. They disturbed her peace. They have to pay for their deeds. Damn it!
