"What did you see, huh?" Rendra growled, gripping the waiter's collar.
The male servant looked panicked and frightened because Rendra misunderstood him.
"S-sorry, sir. I didn't see anything." The waiter looked scared. "Sorry, sir. I just wanted to see Mrs. Aleeta's wound. I didn't mean anything. I swear." The maid put one hand on her chest and Serengan's other hand was raised in the air.
However, Rendra did not necessarily believe his words.
Rendra pressed the elevator button and intended to force the butler down on the floor after taking the bag filled with groceries.
"Ryan. What are you doing?" Suddenly Aleeta stopped her steps. He let go of Rendra's hand on the waiter's collar.
"I don't like the way he looks at you, Aleeta. If a guy looks at me, then he has to deal with me. In fact, if this wall had eyes and was staring at you, I'd gouge out his eyes." Rendra looked annoyed at the waiter. Put your thumbs on his neck, then pull him slowly to the edge.
Rendra's words made Aleeta frown. She looked at Rendra and the waiter in turn.
"Sorry, Mrs. Aleeta. I was just wondering what happened to Mrs. Aleeta's feet," answered the waiter honestly. "I-I didn't mean anything else." The servant lowered his head.
Aleeta could see that the maid looked very frightened. Yes, who would not be afraid to hear what Rendra said.
"It's okay. I know you didn't mean anything." Aleeta patted the servant's shoulder. Rendra looked annoyed at the woman's hand that rested on the waiter's shoulder.
Aleeta's gaze was so sharp at Rendra. It was like a threatening look. The woman then continued her steps towards the hotel room.
"Thank you, yes," said Aleeta after they arrived at the woman's hotel room.
"You're welcome, Miss Aleeta. But this is not necessary." The waiter tried to refuse when Aleeta handed him some bills.
"Take it, so that I don't feel guilty for you. And forgive my friend's behavior earlier. I have also troubled you." Aleeta insists.
"Thank you, Miss Aleeta. This is our duty." The maid nodded respectfully before she left the place.
Rendra could only stare at Aleeta with unblinking eyes. The man is increasingly amazed by Aleeta. Even after what happened today, that woman still easily said that she was a friend after what happened today.
Aleeta immediately dropped her body on the sofa slowly and was followed by Rendra.
"I didn't like your attitude, Ryan. You're too much." Aleeta to the point said to Rendra.
"I just don't like him looking at you like that," said Rendra displeased. He wouldn't accept it if other people looked at him.
"Can't he see? He has the freedom to see anything, as long as he's not abusing." Aleeta looked at Rendara.
"I'm sorry Aleeta." Those were the only words that came out of Rendra's mouth.
Aleeta turned her gaze away from Rendra, then exhaled roughly.
"I know you mean well, Ryan. You want to protect me, but you can ask him nicely first. I'm so worried ...." Aleeta hangs her sentence.
"Worried about what?" Rendra felt a bad feeling.
"I'm afraid that if I become your lover you will be angry with everyone who looks at me. Even the ants that pass near me."
"If the ant bites you I won't let go." Rendra increasingly responds to Aleeta's words. "I won't let anyone hurt you, Aleeta."
"What if that person was you? What would you do to yourself?" The sentence was enough to make Rendra silent.
"I won't allow it. No, not even myself." Without thinking, Rendra immediately answered Aleeta's question.
Instead of responding, Aleeta looked at Rendra without blinking. They stared at each other in silence for a moment.
"So ... now you want to be my lover?" Ryan added, still locking his gaze on Aleeta.
It is undeniable that Aleeta feels the same way about Rendra's scene. However, again it seemed that she still needed time to confirm if the man from her past had been completely eliminated from her heart.
"Didn't you promise to wait for me even though it took a long time," asked Aleeta, looking down at Rendra. Maybe the man was just curious and would soon stop waiting for him.
"Of course I will do it anytime," replied Rendra calmly.
Rendra stepped towards the hotel door when he heard several knocks.
"I ordered food for you," said Rendra as if he knew what Aleeta was thinking.
Finally they enjoyed dinner in Aleeta's hotel room. The woman nodded her head in understanding.
"Are you going to stay in the office tomorrow, Aleeta?" asked Rendra in the middle of their dinner after being dominated by silence for a long time.
"Yes. Why do you ask?" Aleeta answered by asking a question as well.
"Shouldn't you just rest?" said Rendra looking displeased with Aleeta's decision. Money can be earned, but health is not. You will not be able to earn money if you are sick.
"I have some work to do, Ryan. I can still walk anyway because it's just a minor wound."
"Then I'll pick you up and drop you off at the office tomorrow." Ryan gulped down his drink after saying that. It was as if the water could take away his nervousness for fear of being rejected.
"No need, Ryan. I can ask my driver for help. Besides, your office and my office are quite far because the directions are opposite. You know, what are the streets of the capital city like? You might just waste your time on the road," replied Aleeta give many reasons. Not because he didn't want to be escorted by Rendra, but because he was afraid of being caught.
If they are together too often for a long time, it could be that he can't contain his feelings. Aleeta is afraid that she can't hide her very fast heartbeat when she is near Rendra and the blush on her face
"For you no time will be wasted, Aleeta." Rendra said very loudly when he finished his meal. It was as if such words were as easy as eating something.
Ugh, Aleeta can't say what she thinks and feels as easily as Rendra. That woman is the type of person who suppresses and suppresses what they feel.
"Ryan ...." Aleeta looked at the man beside her with pleading eyes. The reason is, if he procrastinates, his work will pile up. Moreover, the man still didn't have the right to forbid him from doing anything because their status was only as ordinary friends.
"Okay. But you have to give me news." Rendra seemed to know the meaning of Aleeta's gaze.
