Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 - Young Master's Bit of Wealth

Issac immediately stood up, rushing to block Laura and Santana's footsteps who were about to leave the living room in this luxurious house that he owns in the Pasar Minggu area of South Jakarta.

Laura looked at her husband with annoyance, because he still protected Maria's hostel.

"Mama better get plenty of rest." Issac's voice was heard, "Remember what doctor Kansil ordered, your blood pressure is still high, you need rest, besides staying calm in your mind."

"How calm if Ethan hasn't been found yet, hmm?" the wife spoke curtly, "You better let mama go to the dormitory because I'm a woman, I can go in to look for Ethan."

"Even though you are a woman, have you forgotten papa ultimatum that forbade you to go there? Do you want papa to remove your status as the main madam, then papa will return you to your family? Ethan staying with papa?"

Laura gasped in shock at her husband's words, her memory returned to remembering the incident where Issac bravely stopped her from almost sending Maria to the afterlife after destroying the dormitory of Keily's late mother. The husband not only stopped her crazy jealousy but issued a very strong ultimatum to her not to set foot in the hostel. That's why she sent Sungkar to be her hand in killing Maria.

"Do you remember what sanctions Mama will receive if you violate Papa's ultimatum?" heard the husband's voice while looking at the woman.

"Mama is surprised," Laura looked back at her husband with annoyed eyes, "Maria died long ago, but Papa still looks after hers."

"You already know the answer!" Issac snapped at the wife, "Santana!" then called Santana, "You take your aunt to her room, calm her down. Also tell her, don't try to send her hand to mess up the dormitory, because uncle will know that, and won't hesitate to punish her!" bequeathed to this young woman who was gentle by nature, but was just as evil on the inside as Laura.

"Okay, uncle." Santana understood, then took Laura's arm, who looked very angry at Issac, "Come on Auntie, you better get some rest." Dissuaded by this ambitious, stubborn woman.

Laura stretched her body a little, then took Santana with her and left the room. Issac exhaled, looking relieved, for it was not for nothing that he issued a stern ultimatum to his wife. This man then approached Samuel,

"Sam," reprimanded his eldest son, "You persuade Theo to return to deploy Sars to find Ethan. Papa is sure your brother is still alive."

"Okay, pa." Samuel understood, "Pa, sorry, while Sam's duties at the Collins Company are done by Manuel because Sam will continue to look for Ethan until he finds him. Sam also still believes he is still alive."

"Don't think about it anymore," Issac smiled proudly because the eldest loved his brother sincerely, "Papa is still alive, let papa control the Collins Company until Ethan is found, after that, you two can return to managing the company."

"Thank you, pa."

Satria, the head of the car showroom branch of a Collins Company business unit in Cawang, Jakarta, was surprised to see Ethan come with Keily. The news about the accident that happened to the young master had also reached his ears because the master was Issac's favorite child.

Then he saw the young master holding the lady's hand, also holding the travel bag. All his life knowing the master, never he saw all that. The second young master was always alone, cold to women, and serious when he worked. Who is the lady with the young master?

Ethan then cleared his throat so Satria wouldn't be surprised to see him come with Keily. Even though the girl still has the appearance of a young man, her pretty face shows that this lady is a girl. Then the two big miss melons appeared under the semi-stretch shirts.

"Sir," Satria was shocked again, then stuttered between believing and not dealing with Ethan, "Young master, you, you."

"I'm still alive, Satria." The doctor replied slightly pinching the base of Satria's arm, "How? Does it hurt?" then asked the man.

"It hurts young master." The branch head chuckled in pain, "That means I'm not hallucinating when I meet you at this time."

Ethan hearing this just sighed.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?" Satria changed the subject, realizing that the master here definitely needs his help. "Am I asked to contact Pak Gandy to pick you up here?"

"No need!" said the doctor, "You immediately prepare a unit of jeep mercy on the road for me right now."

"Yes sir." Satria realized that the young master needed a vehicle because the doctor's jeep was destroyed in a ravine. "You want the jeep to be the same color as your old jeep?"

Ethan didn't answer, instead, he reprimanded Keily while slightly shaking his hand that was holding the lady's hand.

"Kei."

"Yes Ethan?" replied the lady in a gentle voice as she looked at the young master.

"What color do you like?"

"Emm green, dark brown, and red."

"Okay," Ethan understood, then returned his gaze to Satria, "Bring me a metallic dark brown jeep." He said asking for a dark brown jeep, one of the girl's favorite colors.

"Okay, young master," Satria replied with a slightly surprised forehead because the young master asked what the girl's favorite color was, then asked for a dark brown jeep, one of the colors mentioned by the lady on the lord's side. "Sorry sir, will the BPKB and STNK be in your name, or?" he glanced at Keily who seemed to be surveying this room.

"Just prepare the jeep first." Ethan replied firmly, "Gandy will tell you about that later." He said then led the girl to sit on the long couch, where this lady's hand was still in his.

Satria saw all this and slightly sighed, 'Is this the young master's future wife, huh?' asked his mind, 'Hey, what business do I have about this.' He added, annoyed that he was curious, then rushed to prepare Ethan's order.

"Ethan." Came Keily's voice, "What is this place?" she asked because ever since they got off at Cawang station, then continued their journey by taxi, the man only said they stopped for a while at one place.

"This is a car showroom, Kei. A place to buy and sell new cars.

"You bought a car?"

"Exactly took a car to replace my car that was destroyed in the ravine when I had that accident."

"Take? Hey, did you steal a car?"

Tuing, Ethan gasped at this, then took a deep breath, realizing that Keily didn't know much about the outside world.

"Kei," he spoke softly to this girl whose hand he had been holding earlier acting normal. Not embarrassed, nor proud. "I didn't steal the car. I said take the car because this showroom is one of the business units of my father's company. Do you know what business is? One line of business with a buying and selling system."

"Hmm, I see." Keily just understood, "Your father turned out to be a great person like his father, the late Mrs. Maria. He also has a buying and selling business which is now managed by Aunt Sinta."

"Did Baba tell you that story?"

"Aunt Rika told me when I asked why Aunt Sinta was so busy. If she comes only to check how far my learning progress is. Even if outside of that, just ask me what I need, or what I want."

"I see." Ethan understood because in all the time he was at the cottage in Keily's backyard, he had never seen Sinta stop by. Only Baba and Sari.

Satria then approached the young master who brought two officers. One is a mechanic, the other is an office boy. The office boy brought a tray containing two cups of hot drinks for the young master and the miss.

"Young master." Greeted by the son of his highest boss, "Sorry, the car you ordered is ready. You can check first after freshening up a drink." he said kindly.

The office boy immediately put both cups on the table.

"Thank You." Ethan thanked him, "Let's check the car now because we want to go to dinner soon." He said then brought Keily to his feet, the girl's hand was moved around his arm, because he felt the presence of the lady was a concern, so he needed to be given an identity as his girl.

It was a beautiful night for Keily and Ethan in a different way. The lady felt happy to be able to see the beauty of the world, while the young master felt that this lady's attitude remained level with him, she didn't seem interested in his good looks, she wasn't amazed at his wealth, she only praised a little.

The two of them were in the young master's super luxury new jeep, where the doctor drove it casually to Issac's house in the Pasar Minggu. After leaving the showroom, they stopped to eat at a fancy cafe. Making this girl was amazed to see the cafe, not amazed to see the rich man twisting seven drops of seven climbs.

Luckily, since childhood, Keily was given a variety of foods, from the cheap ones to the luxurious ones like those sold at this cafe, so it wasn't tacky when Ethan gave a menu. Sinta realized that she was the heiress of the Kens Company, so she was given a varied diet from a young age. They are even taught how to speak and move so that even though the innocent girl admires the outside world, she doesn't look trivial.

"Ethan." Keily's voice was heard rebuking the doctor who was driving while watching him, "Thank you, you are willing to take me to the outside world."

Ethan smiled at this, and his finger quickly nudged the girl's nose.

"You're a welcome little girl."

"Hais, I'm an adult, I'm 20 years old."

"To me, you are a little girl."

"No."

"Then what do you want me to think?"

"We're friends right?"

Ethan gasped at this, not expecting the girl's answer, because from his experience, if he said that to women, everyone said they wanted to be his girlfriend, even his wife, which made him lose his appetite for romance.

"We are friends?" asked the girl with a surprised look.

"Of course." Keily replied innocently, "I helped you, then we're friends, right? Like I'm friends with Sari."

The doctor gasped in surprise again, was the lady not interested in his good looks, wealth, or anything else?

"You also consider me a friend right?" the lady asked a question.

Ethan gasped again, then seemed to think, did he consider Keily a friend? So why did he develop affection for the big lady when he was with the girl? Apart from that he wanted to investigate why the lady was cold when she was treated a little affectionately. Did he who was arrogant and cold-hearted fall in love with the lady?
