Chapter 144 - 144. Careless

A harsh sigh escaped from between her lips.

Leaning against the wall, Anna rubbed her face roughly. Being in that position for a few minutes, she cursed herself over again while banging her head.

'Does that mean I should just go home?'

'Doing nothing?'

Anna shook her head. She has to charge her cell phone first before leaving this house.

If she remembers correctly, the type of cell phone is the same as Devan's.

Suddenly a smirk appeared on the woman's face. If she accidentally lost her cellphone charger then it's not a problem. She can use Devan's.

Suddenly Anna felt lucky to have worked in this house, because of that she could know the ins and outs of the entire house, including the man's habit of putting his things.

With slow steps Anna got up from her position, leaving the kitchen. Only that she was only two steps further outside the pantry when the sudden sound of the door opening stopped her. Looking to the second floor there Devan came out of the room.

'Oh no.'

Immediately Anna grabbed her bag and hid under the kitchen pantry. Hope that her existence is not noticed by the man. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, the woman's hands trembled. Looks like Devan is currently heading her way.

While on the other hand, Devan who was already on the first floor now turned on the mini chandelier lights that were around the kitchen, not too bright but it was more than enough to give him light.

He had been trying to close his eyes and sleep for a long time, but sleep never came to him. Looks like his insomnia is getting worse.

Walking into the kitchen to get a drink, Devan was completely unaware of someone's presence there. His steps were so relaxed, took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, the man then drank it.

Whereas the weather is not hot right now, but he feels thirsty.

Glancing at the clock on his phone screen, it was already one o'clock in the morning. After that, he placed the bottle carelessly on the pantry.

However, his movements suddenly stopped, his brow furrowed as his eyes caught a black crackle bag piled up not far from him.

Down there, Anna who saw the direction of Devan's gaze was already cursing herself. How could she just take her bag and forget that she also had clothes in a black crackle bag with her?

If there was the title of the dumbest human being in this world, maybe Anna was the only woman who deserved that title.

Anna snuggled deeper into her position.

While on the other hand, Devan grabbed the black crackle bag and opened it. The wrinkles on her forehead became even clearer when she found women's clothes inside.

'Who has the?' he thought as he took out the clothes one by one and examined them.

'Is this Lija's?' Devan shook his head, he had never seen a middle-aged woman wearing a branded suit like this.

Sculpting.

Devan's body instantly froze on the spot as he spread a white fur coat in front of him. His eyes were fixed on a red stain that contrasted with the color of the jacket.

"What did I just see?" Devan muttered as he lowered the fur coat and turned his gaze elsewhere as if he had just witnessed something inappropriate.

Down there Anna shook her head vigorously, 'HELP, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK,' she screamed in her mind.

Feeling that what had just entered his vision was not what he had in mind, Devan took a closer look to make sure, suddenly the very faint smell of blood tickled his sense of smell.

He reflexively threw it away with a red face.

Yes, anyone who sees the stain will have the same thought as Devan.

"HENDRAA!" the man shouted echoing.

He immediately reached into his trouser pocket and called his private driver, asking him to come immediately, even though it was already one o'clock in the morning, the time when people were fast asleep.

Just a few minutes later, the middle-aged man came with a face that looked sleepy.

"What did you call me sir?" Hendra asked after saluting Devan, the man was now in the living room, sitting on the sofa.

"Throw away the black crackle bag that is on the pantry, if you need to burn it without any leftovers," Devan said with an unblinking look.

"Okay sir," replied Hendra as he nodded.

"Take it away from here," said the man again.

"Okay, sir. Then I will excuse myself."

Devan just nodded in agreement. He didn't know who the clothes belonged to. Is it Lija? But…

The man guessed, on the one hand, he was sure that it belonged to Lija because there was no other woman in this house besides the Maid.

But on the other hand, he felt that his guess was wrong because Lija had been going home since this afternoon. He had even made dinner for himself earlier and the bag wasn't there yet.

Then from where?

Why were the bloodstained clothes suddenly in his house?

A big question that bothered him a lot. Tomorrow he would confirm this with Lija.

Anna, who had felt a little relieved, was now tense again when she heard the sound of footsteps heading back towards the kitchen.

Seeing Mr. Hendra, she remained silent in place, the expression on her face now looked very gloomy, not to mention after seeing the black crackle bag containing her clothes being carried away by the middle-aged man.

Anna looked away, she didn't know what else would happen to her later. All because of her carelessness. Now, only the chef suit attached to her body was one of her current treasures.

Until a few moments passed, Anna no longer heard any sound, nor did she hear Devan's steps returning to her room.

'Has the man not returned to his room yet?'

Slowly Anna came out of hiding, settling to the side of the pantry with her body still crouched.

Turns out his guess was right. The man was still in the living room, sitting quietly alone doing nothing.

"Strange man," she mumbled and then settled back into her original position.

She couldn't leave the place if Devan was still in the living room.

Finally, Anna chose to wait in hiding, her petite body was one of her advantages.

Being in that position, sleepiness slowly overtook her, even though Anna tried to stay awake.

Don't let her fall asleep here. No one knew what would happen next if she let her guard down a little.

In the first minutes, Anna did manage to hold back sleep, but not for the next thirty minutes.

Without realizing it, Anna fell asleep in her position, her body that felt very tired also became the perfect lullaby.
