"Don't worry! "Yours B" will give you a scholarship now on. We offer social service too." Rubben flashed her a boyish smile.
"Hold on! Yours B. What is that?" Jisonia asked dismissively.
"It's our company, I'm sure you heard of it". Rubben muttered casually.
"I thought they had invited you." Jisonia said with indifference, like it was something to be considered.
"Yes, The hog farm".
"Does that mean you aren't Mr. Sel Humori?".
"No, I am Mr. Sel Rubben".
"Don't you say you were Mr. Sel?" Jisonia stared at him squarely.
"Yes, I'm Sel Rubben."
"What....?" Jisonia screamed, making Rubben slightly jolted in suprised.
----------
"Why did you take me to that party without checking who I was first?" Rubben eyed her surreptitiously.
"You said you were Mr. Sel" Jisonia replied with stink-eye as she started driving.
"Do you take anyone to such parties without checking who they are first?" Rubben fired back fiercely.
"You're the one who rushed us to the party...I should suspected you when you are babbling about the astronomical numbers of brown rice". Jisonia said in a strong and sharp tone, startling Rubben.
Rubben stared at her with his mouth hung open. "You should have asked me when you bought me to the painting hall". Rubben roared.
"It's an artwork, not just a simple painting". Jisonia shot her sharp eyes up to him.
"Artwork, my foot! You told that it's a fake! You better pray that I still get my 20 million contract deal". Rubben said accusingly, folding his arms across his chest. A scoff escaped Jisonia as she observed him.
--------
Jisonia hurriedly came down from the car while Rubben quickly followed her.
Rubben brows furrowed as he observed Jisonia running here and there searching for the man desperately. Jisonia sat down silently and in next second she pulled the root of her hair in frustration as she cussed herself. "Stupid girl ! Idiot ! Moron!" She hit herself on the head.
"You seem to have limited number to call yourself! Just get up". Rubben shook his head frantically.
Jisonia took in deep breaths to calm herself lowering her eyes.
"His phone is off. The workers have gone home, we can't report him missing since he's not a child. There's nothing we can do! He's grown man. He may have gone to hotel or a rest to have some food." Rubben sighed and looked away for a moment before looking back at her face.
"Don't you say he was a fifthly rich man? Come on! Turn that frown upside down, I am sure he will let go of this small mistake. If not, he's not a true lover of art". Rubben chirped.
Here! Rubben stretched his hands and said, "Get up!".
Jisonia chuckled slightly as she slowly placed her hands into his warm palms. Jisonia's eyes looked down at her hand in his, before she looked at his face again.
"Mr Sel, What will you do now?" Jisonia asked.
--------
"I'm sorry, Do you have another card?" The receptionist asked in polite smile.
"Please give me a second" Jisonia said and turned to Rubben.
"This card is not valid! Don't you have another card?" Jisonia asked. Rubben arched his brow, "Don't be ridiculous, This is black card!".
Rubben turned to receptionist and said, "Black card, Okay? Black card". The receptionist gave a faint smile and asked, "I am sorry, Do you have another card, Sir?"
"How could you suspend my card when I'm on my business trip?" Rubben growled over the phone.
"I have no cash and business team will arrive tomorrow....Hey! Mr Kim" Rubben yelled when Mr Kim hung up the call.
"Mr Sel, What happened?" Jisonia asked.
"Nothing!" Rubben said with a small smile as he glanced at Jisonia.
"I wander..how long.. it will take if I were to take to the airport....from here?" Rubben stutters out.
-------
"I said, I am fine. I can't possibly impose on a poor international....His words trailed off when he entered the house. Rubben was thunderstruck when he caught a glimpse of the house. The purity of the white walls in the elegant building gave a royalty-like appeal. The ceilings were like an aquarium. No, it was an aquarium with sea life in it.
"No, you are not. What is this place?" Rubben mutters under his breath.
"Mr Vince is on vacation. So, the house is mess. You can sleep on the sofa and the bathroom is on that way". Jisonia said heading for the stairs.
"Oh I see! This isn't your house. I almost thought otherwise". Rubben flashed an amused smile.
"Did you need anything else?" Jisonia asked, descend from the stairs.
"I am good but don't bring any strangers next time. You don't know nothing about me! I could be dangerous". Don't you know how dangerous the world is?" Rubben told her.
"You can't speak english at all, you have no money and your credit cards are cancelled. How can I just leave you?" Jisonia said smoothly.
"When someone offers you a help, a "thank you" would suffice." Jisonia added clamly.
"Who would say such nonsense? What a naive things to say?" Rubben chuckled.
"My father..."
"Your father is very a generous person". Rubben stifle his chuckle instantly and said in polite tone.
