Era and Daniel were sitting in a restaurant to have their lunch.
"What are you doing in this area?" Era asked Daniel. Her mood is not so good because of the previous incident.
"We had a meeting nearby so thought of having lunch with you," Daniel replied with a sweet smile on his face.
"Ow", Era said this only.
Seeing only saying 'Ow' Daniel paused for some time and observed her reaction.
"What you wanna eat today?" Daniel asked Era.
"Anything will be fine," Era simply answered.
"Did something happen today?" Daniel asked indirectly.
With a forced smile, Era replied, "Not much."
Suddenly Daniel paused for some time. It hurt somehow that Era didn't say anything about today or yesterday to him. He expected Era to say anything or share anything about what has happened the past two days or her feelings like what she is feeling right now. But maybe she doesn't feel that close or free around him that she will start sharing things and thoughts. That's what Daniel thought at that moment.
Suddenly Era looked at Daniel and said," Actually something happened today."
Daniel's face lighten up," What happened?"
Then Era thought for some time to get prepared for how to say the whole story. Daniel smiled secretly thinking that what he was thinking a few minutes ago was wrong.
"So...why are you sad?" Daniel asked about this Era. Daniel heard the whole story as if he doesn't know why she is behaving like this." Shouldn't you be happy that she has got what she deserves?"
Hearing him, Era went on a deep thought.
"Mmmmm l am happy that she got what she deserves but somewhere l am feeling sad about it."
Daniel frowned, "Why?"
"Because l know she didn't mean to hurt my reputation. There must be some misunderstandings." Era said.
"After trying to ruin your image in front of everyone, still you are taking her side?" Daniel said not in a bad way but he was angry from inside. Because Daniel knows Era is a very naive girl. She will not say anything wrong or will not hurt anyone even after they are the ones who hurt her first.
"If l were you, l would have wanted the worst way". Daniel said.
"And what is that way?" Era asked in curiosity.
After being quiet for some time, Daniel replied, "Maybe l would have killed her for ruining your career." Daniel said with seriousness.
Eta stayed quiet for some time hearing him and looking at him.
"Tsk....," Era laughed, "You are funny. " Era said.
Daniel also laughed shortly," Why? Do you think l can't do that?"
"Hmm....No." Era replied. "First of all why would you kill someone just for a small mistake? And second of all l think you are a very decent guy. So killing people is not your cup of tea." Era replied with full confidence as if she has very good observation skills.
Daniel smiled hearing Era but didn't say anything about it. Then he started to eat his lunch silently.
..........
Daniel has come back to the mansion. But Zacky has not come back yet. So he decided to do some work in his office room. So he entered his office room. But when he entered, he could feel someone's presence in the room. Daniel frowned because no one is allowed to enter his office room without him and Zacky.
"What are you doing here?" Daniel frowned even more seeing her in the room.
"Just nothing. l was feeling bored. " Jenny replied with a smile just like she doesn't know what might happen to her because she has enter this room without Daniel's permission.
Then Daniel came to her and snatched the file that she was reading while passing her boredom.
"Don't ever enter my office room without my permission. " Daniel said in a rough voice.
Jenny could feel the seriousness in his voice but decided to ignore it.
"Why do you think l will steal some information from here and will sell it somewhere else?" Jenny asked with a smile.
"Sell?" Daniel laughed, " l don't think you need to sell any information due to your relationship with others." Then he looked at her," You will do it anyways even if he ask you to, right?"
Jenny clenched her fist hearing Daniel.
"l would have done that long ago if l wanted to do that. Jenny said to him, "But....." She couldn't finish her sentence when she again heard daniel say.
"Why did you come here?" Daniel asked her.
"l heard you are buying the north project from Zoseph?" Jenny ignored the topic and asked him another question.
Jenny waited for some time but didn't get any reply. So she again asked," why you wanted to buy that deal? Michael Suda has already invested a lot of money in it. And we could even get to have profit from here."
"But now not only Michael Suda but also we gonna lose a lot of money."
Suddenly Daniel's phone lightens up and a message pops up on the phone screen and seeing that his mood again brightens up.
Jenny frowned seeing Daniel not pay any attention to what she was saying. And to look up who has messaged him she stand up and came near Daniel.
[Thank you for the lunch treat.]
Daniel smiled seeing the message and replied, [ what are you doing this weekend?]
Jenny came near to him and somehow managed to see these two messages.
Suddenly Zacky entered the room, startling Jenny so she couldn't see any messages after that.
'l just came here to give you that file." Jenny said immediately seeing Daniel frown when seeing her come very close to him.
"l should leave now. Hope you will think about the deal again," saying that Jenny left the room.
"What's wrong with her?" Zacky said while watching her weird behavior.
After coming out of the room, Jenny frowned and clenched her fist even more.
Not only for those two messages but also for the file that she was looking at when Daniel came in. It was the file where all the information is written about Era Steve.
She coincidently found the file while roaming around Daniel's office table. She is angry now thinking about how she is close to her destination but at the same time, she knows that she can't go further from here because of Daniel's tight security around Era.
But she will find a way at any cost. Because she is Jenny Shon Albert. No one can stop her from doing what she wants.
................
Zacky come inside the room when suddenly a scream could be heard from the outside.
But even after hearing that, not only Zacky but also Daniel didn't even flinch nor look at the source. Maybe they are now used to this kind of thing.
" Master, l brought that girl," Zacky said.
Then waiting for some more time, Zacky again said, " Tommy is having his dinner now."
Daniel chuckled, " l thought, she was going to be your dinner but you let Tommy have her?" Daniel asked jokingly.
Zacky also laughed. " Because l don't like to play with women." Then he also said jokingly, "But Tommy does."
" Why? Why is that?" Daniel asked.
" l don't know. Even if it's not about torturing them, still l am not interested in women." Zacky replied.
" Then do you like me?" Daniel looked at Zacky properly and asked. " You always stick with me like glue even if l told you not to."
Hearing him, Zacky sarcastically started to act as if now he is thinking about that seriously.
Daniel becomes surprised seeing that look. He was joking. " Don't tell me that you like men?"
Zacky laughed again hearing his master. " No l don't."
Daniel also laughed. He knows that Zacky was joking.
" l only like you," Zacky said with puppy eyes. But he is serious.
" Tsk..." Daniel sarcastically laughed. Because he knows what Zacky meant by that.
It's not a lie that Zacky only likes Daniel but it's positively. Zacky knows that he doesn't have the emotion of Love' in him. He never felt this emotion in his entire life. Maybe because he was raised to be a stone-hearted person who can only think of how to protect his master.
And so staying by his side of Daniel from the very childhood, Zacky has only developed this feeling for only Daniel. Not for anyone else.
