"What's wrong?" asked Ken when he saw Toni's bent face in front of the house he shared with Andreas and his other bodyguards.
Toni did not live in this house as she lived in an apartment near the office where Ken worked.
I made a mistake, young master," Toni replied with a chin up.
"What mistake?"
"It's about Clarissa, young sir."
"Clarissa? Clarissa my ex-fiancée?"
"Yes, young master."
Ken thought of Clarissa. Clarissa was Ken's former fiancée. In the past, Clarissa and Ken were introduced by Ken's family and even Ken, who already felt compatible with Clarissa, immediately agreed when he got engaged to Clarissa.
But then Clarissa cheated Ken out of hundreds of millions of dollars and left Ken in a huge loss. Ken was even scolded by his grandfather.
The most painful thing for Ken was that he felt cheated after he gave his whole heart to Clarissa.
"What did he do?" asked Ken after a moment of silence.
"When young master disappeared, Clarissa tried to find you, young master."
"She was looking for me? For what?"
"She said she wanted to apologize for everything she did in the past and she wanted to come back to you, young master."
Ken snorted. "Maybe he ran out of money. That's why he came back looking for me to make another run for my money."
"That's what the great mistress thought too. That's why the great mistress asked me to never tell Clarissa that the young master had been found."
"Then?"
"But, a few days ago, before I came to see you, young master
Clarissa suddenly called me. She again asked for your address as if she already knew that the young master had been found."
"Why would she ask like that?"
"I don't know, young master, but the news of the young master's discovery is still kept secret from anyone. The only ones who know about it in detail are the young master's grandfather and the Great Mistress, no one else knows about it and even Second Uncle doesn't know about it, which is why Second Uncle is still happy because he thinks that by the end of the year, if the young master doesn't return to the company, then he will take over the Diamond Group from Great Mistress Maggie."
"Okay, go on with your story. Did you tell Clarissa where I was?"
"Of course not, young master. I still won't give her my address. Then--"
"Then what?" Ken sat directly in front of Tony.
"But a few hours ago, at the apartment where I was staying, I saw her. I saw Clarissa talking to my assistant."
"Your assistant?"
"Yes, young master. My assistant's name is Rosa. I brought her from Hong Kong. She has been my assistant for half a year now. She has been helping me with your needs and other matters and today I found out that Rossa is friends with Clarissa."
"Friends?"
"Yes, young master. In fact, it seems that she was smuggled by Clarissa to get close to me, because besides the great mistress and the young master's grandfather who knew about where the young master was, it was my assistant this Rosa."
"So Clarissa is already in town?"
"Yes, young master. Therefore, as soon as I knew that Rossa was cooperating with Clarissa, I immediately came here to inform you so that you would not be surprised by Clarissa's arrival."
Tony suddenly stood up. "That might be them, young master." Toni pointed towards the front of the house. There was a car that had just stopped in front of the house.
Ken turned his gaze towards the front of the house, following Tony's instructions, and two women came out of the car. One was unknown to Ken but the other was well known to Ken as she was his ex-fiancée in the past.
"Clarissa?" Ken whispered.
A tall, slender girl wearing a beautiful dress was walking gracefully.
The girl had a long face typical of the world's top models. The girl was now approaching Ken in the style of a high-class photo model and she was indeed Clarissa, Ken's ex-girlfriend.
Clarissa is indeed a top model in Hong Kong who also comes from a business family in Hong Kong.
But the business of Carissa's family is still far away in turnover and assets compared to the Diamond group of Ken's family.
But because she came from a business family, Clarissa's parents knew Ken's parents. That's why there was talk of setting up a match between Clarissa and Ken in the past.
Meggy, Ken's mother, was very impressed with Clarissa's achievements in modeling. Maggie was so enthusiastic about the matchmaking plan that the match was immediately arranged and went smoothly when Ken also liked Clarissa but then when it was nearing the wedding day between Ken and Clarissa, a problem occurred.
Clarissa was caught embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars of Ken's money from the Diamond Group company so that the Diamond group's shares were sharply corrected downward.
Although Ken quickly managed to jump into the stock market to cover the losses suffered by the Diamond group, because the money was embezzled by Clarissa, but Ken was already hurt and broke off the engagement relationship and also canceled his wedding with Clarissa.
Clarissa had cried and asked Ken to forgive her especially since Ken had managed to compensate for all the losses so according to Clarissa he did not need to be punished.
But Ken already distrusted Clarissa, because according to Ken, Clarissa's actions proved that Clarissa never loved Ken and that really bothered Ken to continue their relationship.
After that, Clarissa could no longer bother Ken because then Ken went out with his own secretary.
But after his secretary again did something similar to Clarissa, Ken left Hong Kong and migrated to Jakarta.
This was the first time for Ken to meet Clarissa.
Clarissa approached Ken in the style of a photo model because until now she was still the top model in Hong Kong. Clarissa deliberately indulges her charm that always makes thousands of men crazy about her in Hong Kong.
That's why Clarissa approached Ken again. She knew she still had the charm that would make Ken fall in love with her again. She approached Ken, held his hand and said, "I miss you."
Ken snorted.
"For a year now, I've been waiting to hear from you, Ken. I even put my best friend near Tony so that when Tony found you, I could approach you immediately."
"Why would you approach me?" snapped Ken.
"I want to apologize, Ken. I'm sorry for all the things I did wrong that I didn't mean to do. Back then, I just wanted to create my own business that would make my parents proud. So I tried my hand at the stock market using your money, but I failed. I couldn't be as good as you at the stock market because I was just following my friends and I ended up using a lot of your money. But now, I've realized and I want to come back to you, Ken."
