Gray mansion…
As soon as they both entered the house, Sei went straight to his study room without any word. While Davi who was still a bit crestfallen walked towards their room. And by the time she entered, she leaned on the wall for a while before she went to the bathroom and soaked herself in a warm bath.
Her brain started to wander and after a short while, a smile slowly carved in her face. She remembered that the first time she entered this house, the only feeling brimming in her eyes were fear, uneasiness, and hopelessness. But as time goes by, before she knew it, all those unwanted feelings were all slowly erased as she stayed beside him. He was the one who gave her new hope, he was the one who made her dream again. He made her days warm and purposeful just by being beside her, and she was happy.
Thinking about those made Davi’s resolve to recharged again. She thought that this might be the beginning of the challenging hurdles that she needs to cross. From the beginning, she knew it’ll never be easy, that was why, she will never back off.
…
After her relaxing bath and re-charging her determination, Davi felt revitalized. So she went downstairs to see if the maids already cooked dinner for them. But on his way towards the dining room she saw Mr. Chen sitting quietly in the couch.
Looking at him, Davi thought about asking him something that was bugging her, so she walked quietly towards him.
“Mr. Chen, can I ask you something?” she asked and the man smiled cheerfully at her as usual.
“Of course you can, what is it young miss?”
“Sei said today was dangerous, can you tell me what he meant?”
Davi’s question obviously made the cheerful Mr. Chen a bit taken aback. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck as he talked hesitantly.
“Err… sorry young miss. Well, this is just about security purposes. You don’t have to get anxious about it.”
“Why? Is… is Sei in danger?”
The moment those words came out of her mouth, Mr. Chen fell silent as he averted his gaze away. “Err… that…”
Looking at his troubled face, Davi could already tell she might be right. So without a word, she quietly walked away and went to the dining room. She sat and she bumped her head gently on the table.
Sei… Are you really in danger? Why are you in danger?
That moment, Davi’s heart turned heavy. Thinking about Sei being in danger scared her more than she thought.
Meanwhile, Zaki was watching her secretly and when he saw how worried she was, he decided to inform Sei.
He then went and entered the dimly lit study room and he walked closer to the man occasionally tapping something on the computer’s keyboard as his eyes were glued into the screen.
“I think your wife wasn’t disappointed, she was worried about you,” Zaki broke the cold silence and the man slowly turned to him with confused face.
“Worried?”
“It’s your fault. You know your wife isn’t an idiot. When you said it’s dangerous, of course she’ll only deduce, you’re in danger.”
Upon hearing him, Sei fell quiet for a while before he talked again. “I don’t want to lie to her.”
“But because of that she’s now getting anxious over you,” Zaki replied causing Sei to look even more troubled. A look that was amusing for the man beside him.
“Well, you just need to tell her not to worry.”
