Chapter 56

56 Suddenly The Thought Popped Up

“How did you two get so close? Does Lea know that you two are here and kissing? Aren’t you Lea’s best friend?”

Aluna’s smile faded, and she fell silent again. She realized that Zeline continued to tease her. “P-please don’t tell Lea, will you?” Aluna pleaded pitifully but it didn’t work for Zeline at all. Aluna turned to Arthur so that the man could also plead with Zeline.

“Don’t worry, Luna, just plug Zeline’s mouth with money. It’s certain that she won’t tell anyone,” Arthur said very casually.

“Fuck you, you underestimated me?” Zeline cursed that she couldn’t accept that she was so humiliated because of money. Although it’s actually not wrong. Zeline snorted, she kept staring at Aluna sarcastically. It seems like a lot of people were talking behind my back because I was close to a lot of guys, then bad rumors kept coming at me. But now you’re actually approaching Arthur? Even though he’s handsome, he’s also your uncle’s age. You know that, right?” Zeline asked rained satire on Aluna, making the burgundy haired girl aware that her behavior was really disgusting.

Aluna looked down, her face red with embarrassment. Zeline turns out to know that she is among the people who believe in the rumors and always vilify Zeline behind her back.

Zeline smiled mockingly, she got up from her seat. It’s not comfortable to linger at the same table with a girl like Aluna. “Congratulations, Aluna. You’ve licked your own spittle. I won’t comment on you playing behind Lea, because it’s none of my business. It’s just that you really are a rotten woman Luna,” Zeline said very scathingly, piercing Aluna’s heart. “Bye, I don’t want to linger here.” Zeline waved her beautiful mane arrogantly, then left the two of them.

Aluna clenched her fist tightly, she couldn’t accept being insulted like that by someone like Zeline. However, she could not reply to her words. “Zeline’s mouth is really so mean, it’s only natural that no one wants to be friends with her!” Aluna grumbled, her face still red with anger.

“But it seems Lea has no problem being friends with Zeline,” Arthur said with a crooked smile. Actually, he was a little satisfied with Zeline’s words that really pierced Aluna to the heart.

Aluna turned to Arthur, she was annoyed that the man didn’t defend her. “Lea was also lied to by Zeline! My best friend fell into your world, even though she was a good and innocent child.” Aluna’s voice trembled, her face was sad as if she deeply regretted what had happened to Kalea’s life. Arthur watched the girl, actually there was still a lot he didn’t understand from Aluna.

.....

Aluna seems to really love Kalea as a friend, but the girl plans to take Arthur from Kalea. It sounds absurd, but it’s true.

“Luna, if Zeline doesn’t tell Lea about this job, you’ll never meet me either. We’ll still be strangers,” Arthur told Aluna. The girl fell silent, confirming what Arthur had said to her. After a while, she hugged Arthur’s arm.

“I believe if we are matched, we will definitely meet wherever it is,” Aluna replied. Arthur made goosebumps, a little ridiculous to hear the words that may sound sweet to some people.

They stayed there until two o’clock at night, Arthur took the drunk girl to the hotel because he didn’t know where Aluna lived. He put Aluna’s tiny body on the bed, looking at Aluna who was already unconscious with a flushed face from drunkenness.

“Alright, it’s time for me to go home,” Arthur muttered as he turned around but his arm was restrained.

“Umhh ... don’t ... go,” Aluna mumbled, her eyes still closed. Arthur looked back at the girl, his face was flat even though Aluna’s beautiful body seemed to be asking to be touched by him.

Arthur corrected Aluna’s sleeping position to make it more comfortable even though the tight dress Aluna was wearing was getting pulled up so that her white thighs were getting exposed. It was very tempting, but Arthur was still trying to contain his lust because he wanted to go home to Kalea. Arthur’s eyes were rounded when Aluna pulled his arm so Arthur’s face got closer to the girl’s. Aluna opened her eyes which looked withered because they were still under the influence of alcohol.

“Hey, handsome. Accompany me here,” Aluna said, smiling mischievously and kissing Arthur’s lips. The man remained silent, letting Aluna play with his lips. He had absolutely no intention of doing it with Aluna. The black haired man broke the kiss making the girl look disappointed.

“You’re so mean! I still want to do it, why not kiss me back, evil!” Aluna whined while hitting Arthur’s chest. The man was a little overwhelmed by Aluna’s drunken behavior, but soon Aluna was no longer noisy and began to fall asleep.

“Sleep tight,” Arthur whispered, caressing Aluna’s cheek to make her more comfortable in her dreamland. Hoping that after this Aluna no longer wakes up and holds Arthur back home.

After feeling safe, Arthur carefully left the room leaving Aluna alone in the hotel.

Arthur quickly drove his car towards Kalea’s penthouse, he couldn’t wait to meet the girl. Even though Kalea must have fallen asleep. Twenty minutes, Arthur finally arrived. He smiled when he saw Kalea sleeping hugging the penguin doll Arthur had bought. Arthur slowly took the doll from Kalea’s arms, replaced with her body. He wrapped his arm around her waist.

Arthur kissed Kalea’s forehead for a long time, then hugged her sugar baby. He didn’t change at all and finally woke Kalea because her nose smelled the strong alcohol smell. Kalea blinked, surprised that what she was hugging was not a penguin doll, but Arthur.

“Arthur? Why are you here?” Kalea asked surprised, she woke up from her sleep with a sleepy face.

“I’m home,” Arthur said not intending to answer Kalea’s question.

“You better take a bath first, you reek of alcohol.” Kalea covered her nose because she couldn’t stand the smell of the drink.

“I still want to hug you, come here.”

“No! Take a bath!”

Arthur pursed his lips, disappointed by Kalea’s outright refusal. However, he immediately grabbed Kalea’s arm and immediately hugged her. A little nosy so Kalea can smell the alcohol again.

“A-arthur, let me go!” Kalea struggled but Arthur paid no heed. Already very annoyed, Kalea bit Arthur’s neck hoping that after this the man would let him go.

It worked!

Kalea breathed a sigh of relief but she gasped when Arthur was now on top of her, locking her up so she couldn’t go anywhere. Instead of being in pain, Arthur’s lust was getting provoked. “I did let you go, but because you bit my neck, I became lust,” Arthur said with a mischievous smile.

“Y-you really are a pervert!”

“It’s not Arthur if it’s not a pervert,” Arthur replied, not minding being called that. He brought his face closer to kiss Kalea’s lips, but the girl turned her face away.

“”I don’t want to do it if you smell like alcohol,” Kalea refused, keeping her stance.

Arthur sighed, relenting. “Okay, okay. Women have a lot of desires,” Arhur sneered as he got off the bed intending to wash his body first.

“I’m not like that!” Kalea protested by not accepting it.

“Don’t sleep, or I’ll disturb you until you don’t sleep at all!” Arthur threatened before he entered the bathroom.

“Yeah, yeah,” Kalea said lazily, now hugging her penguin doll.

Kalea looked at the white and black penguin doll, for some reason her heart was beating fast when Arthur hugged her. It wasn’t the first time he’d done it though. “The master who bought you is really annoying,” Kalea muttered, inviting the doll to talk.

When she noticed Arthur smelling of alcohol, she knew exactly where he had come from.Kalea didn’t want to make a fuss because she really shouldn’t have interfered with Arthur’s personal affairs. It’s just, why isn’t Arthur satisfied with just one woman? Why can he have sex in a day with various women? Was Arthur really an asshole from the start?

“Are all men like that?” Kalea muttered, but suddenly she remembered about her father’s having an affair and being dissatisfied with one woman. Kalea smiled bitterly, she hugged the penguin doll pouring her disappointment on the innocent doll. She still wants to believe that there are still good men in this world. If Arthur had a lover or even a wife, she would have turned down this dirty job offer from the start. Whether she should be grateful or not for having met a female predator like Arthur.

Unknowingly, the tears were falling without Kalea’s permission, she wiped the tears with trembling hands. Feelings of sadness, anger, and disappointment are mixed into one when remembering how the condition of her parents was until now.

“Lea, I’m done bathing. Let’s continue-” Arthur’s eyes were rounded when he saw Kalea shedding tears. He quickly walked over to the girl and hugged her.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Arthur asked as he stroked Kalea’s hair gently. He didn’t know the reason why she was crying, but calming and comforting Kalea was his job right now.

Kalea was silent, she also didn’t understand why her tears suddenly came out. “I ... I’m fine,” Kalea replied, patting Arthur on the back to keep him from worrying. The smell of the man’s body made her comfortable, she closed her eyes enjoying Arthur’s embrace and the smell of the shampoo he was using.

Arthur let go of the hug, cupping Kalea’s beautiful face. “Did I hurt you? Was it because I disturbed your sleep and forced you to serve me?” Arthur demanded.

Kalea looked at the man so deeply, Arthur was very handsome. Everyone acknowledged that, if only Arthur was a loyal man, he would definitely be a perfect man and any woman who became Arthur’s wife would be very happy for the rest of his life. However, she was nobody who could forbid or regulate Arthur’s principles. She is just a woman who is bound by a contract, roughly speaking she is a woman who must be ready to satisfy Arthur’s lust. Even though Arthur didn’t just have sex with her.

“Arthur, may I ask a question?” Kalea asked. Arthur nodded slowly. “If you’re still making love to other women, then what am I here for? Aren’t you wasting your money on women like me?”

Arthur’s eyes were rounded, he didn’t expect Kalea to think that way. “Why-”

“If you’re just being forced by Zeline to be a sugar daddy, we’d better end it.”
