Arendell,
"President, all the board executive director is in the meeting room. They have been waiting for you." His assistant, Carlson, said with a serious tone.
"Thanks. What is the latest update?" Aslan put on his suit and adjust his tie. He just landed and straight away went to King's tower.
"There's no call from the hijackers. It's been more than 24 hours now. The radar can't locate the airplane and the ship too."
"Did you send the notice to all the passengers family?"
"Yes, our PR director has announced it an hour ago. All of the family members are required to gather at the hotel where our company has provided until we knew the status."
Sighing, he pinches his space between his eyebrows. He really is stressed out about Athena and now he needs to face this problem. Leaving Athena behind is not what he wants, but he also wants some space. For right now, he needs to focus on the problem that occurs.
Open the door, all of the other directors stand up and bow to him a little before they look at him with a serious face.
"Sit down, we start our meeting right now." He said and take a seat facing all of them.
…
Ding dong!
Rachael stands up and went to the door.
"Princess, are you feeling ok right now?" Said Zoro once he heard a click sound from the door.
"Uhm...Athena still sick. She's with her mother right now." Rachael explains to him.
"Oh.." He looks at Rachael who is standing in front of the doorway.
"Then, can I come in?" He asks.
"Ah..sorry, please come in." She opens the door and inviting him inside.
Zoro went to the kitchen counter and find a vase before he put the flower he brought with him into it. While Rachael just watches what's he's doing.
"So, did you get your wound treated, yesterday?" He asks after placing the vase on the dining table.
"Oh!" She snaps her finger. She just remembered that she still not treat her wound yet.
"I forgot." She said nonchalantly.
"Geez.. you're still young but your memory is absolutely like an old woman."
"Hey, are you done nagging at me? If you have done then please leave. I don't wanna hear it, okay?" She stomps her feet and went to the couch.
Turning on the television, she watches at the news. The news reporting about her brother's company which is in a critical state when three of the airplane with the passenger suddenly vanish from radar and there's no trace at all about the airplane whereabout. One of his cargo ships also has been vanished from radar with the worker and the captain inside it.
"This is bad." She murmurs.
"What is bad?" Zoro went to the living room and sit beside her.
She glances at him a little before she says "There's a lot of space, why you sit beside me?"
"Huh? Is there a problem if I sit beside you?"
"There is.."
"Huh?"
"That's means, you want to flirt with me. And I can't just ignore it you know.." She smirks.
Zoro was totally dumbstruck with her shameless.
"Hey! You're a girl. Behave like a girl. Don't you know the word 'Shame'?" He stood up and change his sit not far from her.
Rachael ignoring him and not long after, Hai Rin went downstairs with Athena.
"Eh, Z..you're here?" Athena said once she saw him in the living room with Rachael.
"Princess, are you okay?" Zoro immediately stands up and help her to sit on the couch together with her mother.
This is the first time he sees Athena is so sick like this. She used to be the most reliable and hard to knock down.
"Z...I need to meet with Ali. Can you bring him here? And..also, bring Rachael to get her looked at her wound in the hospital. She didn't manage to go to the hospital yesterday because of me."
"Ah..that's okay sis Athena, my wound is not that serious," Rachael said politely.
"How is that not serious Rach, your father will be so worried if you had even one scratch. Auntie know your father well, she really loves you. So to make sure he's not worried about you, just go and get a treatment okay? Auntie will feel terrible to your dad if he knew you were injured while trying to protect Athena." Hai Rin advises her in a gentle tone.
"My mom is right, Rach. Go with Z. He will send you to the hospital." Athena caresses her hand gently.
Sighing, she nodded.
"Okay then, let's go, Rachael." Zoro took out his car key ready to go and not having a choice, Rachael follows behind him.
…
After fifteen minutes of driving, they arrive at the Imperial Private hospital. It is one of Lee's property.
'Dr. Ming Ye.'
He knocks on the door before he opens it.
"Ming Ye."
Looking up at the door, Ming Ye smiling widely and went to that person.
"Zoro!" She hugs him tightly and that makes Rachael pouted a little.
"Why did you come here?" She asks after they release the hugs.
"Uh, I want you to check on my friend's little sister here. She got hit and injured her back of the body." Zoro said and took a quick glance to Rachael beside him.
'Little sister? What the heck?'
"Oh..Sure. Come here, dear. What is your name?" Ming Ye asks friendly.
"Rachael Lu"
"Lu? Never heard that you had a friend named Lu, Zoro.." She smiling and showing her gentle expression.
"Er...Lu is her family name and her brother is my friend from overseas." Zoro runs his finger on his hair backward.
"Oh.."
Rachael just stares at him with a sharp gaze.
