Cleo supported her head using her hand, paying attention to the teacher who was teaching in front of the class. She is bored with what the teacher is explaining. Someone pranked her, making the teacher ask Cleo to answer a question.
Even though she felt lazy, she still stood up from her seat. Her eyes stared at the man who had just made her have to come forward.
Cleo answered the questions given to her correctly, which made some people who thought that she was dumb open their mouths in surprise. They couldn't believe what they saw.
A girl who used to look dumb became someone different. Someone who can answer all the questions correctly.
After the class was finished, Cleo sat under the tree while reading a psychology book that had just come out. She loves reading and mostly spends her spare time reading books.
From afar, Lucas is watching Cleo, who is sitting under the tree. But his steps stopped when he saw her. Cleo's figure reminds him of Shadow.
A calm face with a gentle personality radiated from that person. But who would have thought that her job was killing her?
A few girls came to annoy her, but she didn't respond. She has to act like a normal kid when in public. Cleo could have killed them, she just doesn't want to. It's a waste of time to care about those girls who she thinks are worms.
"Hey... you guys over there," Lucas shouted, making those kids surprised.
Cleo glanced in the direction where the sound came from. A man is standing and looking at her. Cleo didn't expect to meet Lucas with her real face.
"You alright?" Lucas asked, walking towards Cleo.
Cleo only stayed silent and didn't say anything, feeling curious as to why Lucas helped her when he hadn't seen her real face yet.
"Are you alright? Why did you let yourself get bullied? " Lucas asked curiously.
Cleo put down her book and took her glasses off. "They aren't bullying me, they just don't think of me as their equal," Cleo said, making Lucas frown.
He looks at the woman in front of him right now. He can clearly remember that in the document sent to him, Cleo is almost 30 years old, but why is she still in college? But Lucas only ignored that fact. He came a long way from Indonesia to meet Cleo.
"I want to meet your parents. Can you bring me to your house?" Lucas asked.
"Why didn't you just go to my house yourself? Don't you know my address?" Cleo asked, making Lucas silent for a moment.
He didn't expect that Cleo would say something like that. Is it correct that this girl has a mental problem? Too bad, she looks much more beautiful than most of the girls that I've met. " "In my heart," Lucas said.
Oh god, Lucas got fooled by Cleo's appearance. How will he react if the killer he is searching for is the girl who is said to have a mental illness?
"Fine. I'll take you to meet my dad. " Cleo said, filling her book.
Lucas is still staring at Cleo, who is tidying her books. "Is it just me or does she look familiar?" He asked in his heart. Maybe it's just because her figure is similar to hers.
Cleo followed Lucas to a car that he drove. She is a bit curious as to why Lucas came to meet her. Is it because he wants to investigate the killing incident? Or has the man found something about her?
Inside the car, Cleo only talked to her Al-Eye while Lucas would glance at her once in a while. It was silent inside, and only the sound of the vehicle could be heard.
After a while, Lucas can see a mansion from afar. A few bodyguards are guarding the mansion's gate. To its left and right are a labyrinth and a garden to relax in. The garden was designed by Cleo.
A large flower garden can be seen behind the mansion, with a relaxing place and a lotus pond in the middle. On its opposite is a forest that hides Cleo's laboratory, which is underground. The forest is a man-made forest to deceive people.
Inside the house, Charles is waiting for Cleo to come back. He prepared dinner with a few maids. Every maid there is quite friendly; most are normal citizens that have nothing to do with the organization. The normal life behind it is a deadly organization.
For a moment, Lucas was left stunned by the structure of the mansion in front of him. Classic but modern, beautiful to the eyes, surrounded by trees, and calming.
Charles, who heard the sound of a car, looked outside. His eyes squinted for a moment, observing the car that was now parked in the yard of his mansion.
"Oh, that isn't Cleo's car," Charles said, seeing a black sedan. But why didn't the guards inform me that a guest came? He said, while checking his phone.
Usually, someone will tell him if a guest comes, but no one notified him at all. When the car stopped, he could see Cleo coming out of it, followed by a man who was a stranger to him.
Who is that man? Her boyfriend? " Charles asked.
Charles became so curious about the man that came with Cleo that he came down to see who he was.
"Cleo, who is... that?" Charles's voice stopped when he saw Lucas.
Their eyes met each other. Charles felt that he had seen Lucas somewhere, but he ignored that. It isn't usual for Cleo to bring someone to their mansion. It's her first time. Immediately, Charles's father's side came out.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Charles asked enthusiastically.
His eyes shone when he asked her that. But Cleo's face changed when she heard his question.
Even though he is a mafia boss, he is very attentive towards his daughter's growth. He is the one who took her to school and is also the one who picks her up. He is even the one who chooses her clothes. Ideal man? He doesn't even want to get married.
"He wants to meet you," Cleo said coldly, and went inside. He isn't my boyfriend. He came to meet you. " Cleo said again while getting into her room to clean herself.
Charles instantly smiled awkwardly after hearing what Cleo said. He glanced at Lucas, who was in front of him while frowning. For a moment, he scratched his not-itchy head. "Eee... why would he want to meet me? Isn't he? "
"I'm sorry."
"Have a seat," Charles said, cutting Lucas. "What should I call you?"
"Lucas."
"I'm Charles Zurro." Charles said, introducing himself. Have we met before?" Charles asked curiously.
"No, I'm here to meet you and discuss how you met your daughter. I read a document about her that says that she has joined a mafia organization. "
