Chapter 117

117 Angela vs Kalea

Kalea felt the tense atmosphere again when Angela returned to the room and sat down in front of her. She did not know where Angela had gone before, because after Arthur and Dariel left, not long after that, Angela came out.

Angela continued to stare at Kalea sharply, making Kalea unable to move freely, even breathing was difficult! The girl with the brunette hair kept calling out to Arthur in her heart so that her sugar daddy would come back quickly and save Kalea from this tense atmosphere.

“Hey.”

Kalea felt goosebumps when Angela called out to her, she dared to look at the woman. “Y-yes?”

“Why did you accept my mom’s request to come here again? Didn’t I warn you?” Angela asked as she reached for the cupcake and ate it. Her gaze was still on Kalea.

“I-I find it hard to say no, Mrs. Jefferson desperately wanted Arthur to come here,” Kalea replied.

“What do you care? Where’s your phone? I borrow,” Angela asked, making Kalea frown.

“What for?”

“I said borrow, no need to ask anything.”

.....

“... I can’t do it,” Kalea refused firmly, even though she was really scared. However, no one knows what this sugar daddy’s sister will do. Kalea swallowed her saliva with difficulty when she saw Angela’s gaze getting sharper and filled with an aura of deep hatred towards her.

“You want me to tell you about your real identity? I can do it if you want to be hated by my parents,” Angela said with a small smile. She propped her chin, then continued, “You know, my parents really hate liars.”

Kalea took a deep breath, and she forced her cell phone to Angela. She does not know what Angela did to the flat-shaped object, luckily she hid the gallery and important data. However, there was still worry in Kalea’s heart.

Not long after, Angela returned the phone to its owner. Kalea looked at the woman suspiciously, then checked her phone again, worried if Angela was doing something there.

“Don’t worry, I just blocked my mom’s contact and deleted it from your phone.”

Kalea’s eyes were rounded perfectly, she looked at the woman in disbelief. “Why? What if your mother calls me again?”

“Huh? Do you wish something like that would happen again? Don’t expect that to happen, you’re getting bigheaded, huh? After being treated so well by my mom and dad,” Angela continued to insult Kalea.

Unknowingly, Kalea clenched her fists tightly, holding back the feelings of irritation, and hurt, that were mixed into one in her heart.

“You should know your limits, Miss. Lovaata. Even though your life is pathetic, don’t beg for love from other people’s families,” Angela said in a tone so hurtful. “I hope this is the last time you set foot here and never see my family again.”

“Why do you hate me like this, Miss?”

Angela raised an eyebrow. “Huh? You’re still asking?”

“I’m here because of Mrs. Jefferson’s request and if your parents like me so much, is it my fault too? I have no power over that,” Kalea countered defensively. Of course, it made Angela even more furious because Kalea was so brave against her. “And I think what you say concerning my family is too much. You don’t know the real condition of my family at all and I never intended to beg like you said,” Kalea continued, replying to the woman’s sharp gaze.

“You-”

“Ladies~ we’re done~”

Angela froze, she no longer continued her words when Arthur and Dariel returned and sat with the two women.

“Have you two become close?” Arthur asked, looking at Angela and Kalea in turn. He and Dariel had completely forgotten and were worried about what had happened to the two women because they had left Angela and Kalea alone.

“Well, not bad? Lea and I had to adapt a lot, right?” Angela asked, smiling sweetly at Kalea as if forgetting what had happened between them before the two men came back.

Kalea looked at Angela with an indescribable look. She was still hurt by her words but had no choice but to follow Angela’s charade. “Yeah, we talked quite a bit.”

“Oh, talk about what?” Dariel asked curiously.

“Boo! Men shouldn’t know, this is women’s talk!” Angela shook her head while crossing her arms.

“Hmm, we’re disappointed,” Dariel and Arthur said at the same time. While Angela just laughed, they talked again until finally, it was three o’clock in the evening.

Angela was already unconscious due to exhaustion and the influence of alcohol, Dariel took her to the room first, leaving Arthur and Kalea still sitting there.

“Let’s go to the room,” Arthur There pulling Kalea’s arm to stand up. However, the girl was so weak. Arthur lifted Kalea’s body and carried her to the guest room.

“What are you doing? Put me down,” Kalea asked, lightly hitting the man’s chest. Her voice was weak too.

“Shut up, there’s no one else out at this hour after all,” Arthur said until they were finally there. Arthur laid his sugar baby on the bed.

Arthur looked at Kalea’s face that looked tired, he stroked the girl’s brunette hair gently, then said, “Sleep well, Baby.”

Kalea looked at Arthur with her weak gaze, her hand holding Arthur’s clothes as if she did not want him to leave her in the big room. Arthur chuckled amused at the adorable behavior of his sugar baby.

“What’s wrong? You want me to sleep here too?” Arthur asked teasingly.

Kalea shook her head slowly, not making a sound at all.

“Then what do you want, hm?” Arthur asked again, so softly as he stroked the girl’s cheek.

Kalea removed her hand from Arthur’s clothes, then gently pushed the man’s body to leave the room. “I want to sleep, go back to your room,” Kalea said, forcing a smile at Arthur.

“Are you okay? Did my sister do something to you?”

“Hm? No, really. I’m just tired and want to go to sleep,” Kalea lied.

“To be honest with me, after this you will no longer see my family. I will ask them not to force you here again,” Arthur said seriously as he held Kalea’s hand and kissed it.

“Yes, that’s how it should be. Thank you, Arthur.”

“No, I should apologize to you.”

“Go on, you have to rest too,” Kalea said, shooing her sugar daddy away again.

Instead of leaving, Arthur continued to stare intensely at Kalea. Suddenly, he brought his face closer and kissed her lips briefly. “I missed you. We should have celebrated the New Year just the two of us.”

Kalea chuckled amused to hear that. “New Year’s party should be celebrated with the family. Wasn’t that so much fun?”

“If you’re happy, I’m happy too.”

“Never mind, don’t think about me,” Kalea said as she turned her body to the side with her back to Arthur. “I’m going to bed now, bye-bye.”

Arthur smiled faintly as he stroked his sugar baby’s hair before stepping out of the room.

***

Kalea had just finished her last class of the afternoon. She and Zeline walked towards the parking lot, their cars were parked next to each other.

“You’re going straight to the penthouse, Lea?” Zeline asked as she opened her car door. Zeline frowned when Kalea did not respond and continued to stand staring at her own car. “What’s wrong?”

“Who did this?” Kalea asked, touching the sizable scratch on the front of her car.

“Why- hah? Did you hit something before coming to campus?” Zeline asked, surprised by the condition of Kalea’s car.

“Absolutely not,” Kalea replied, turning her head to the side of her car. She had absolutely no idea whose car this was, and could not just make an accusation.

“You have to ask for compensation from the owner of this car,” Zeline said, pointing to the black car.

“Not sure if this car did it. Never mind, it’s okay. I’ll take it to the repair shop later,” Kalea responded, not wanting to prolong the problem.

“Tsk, why not fight, anyway?” Zeline protested.

“Why are you so happy to make a fuss with other people?” Kalea hissed, looking at Zeline strangely and then opened her car door. “As long as it doesn’t affect me while I’m driving, it’s fine with me.”

“Could it be that your ex-friend did it?”

“Don’t make accusations.”

Not long after that, a group of Aluna’s friends came, laughing and joking. Their laughter stopped when they realized that Zeline and Kalea were staring at them.

“What are you looking at?” Violet asked sarcastically. Violet saw Kalea’s car which had many scratches on the front of it, and it made her smile mockingly. “Oops, what’s wrong with your car, Lea? You can’t take good care of it, can you? This is what your sugar daddy gave you, right?”

“You did it, you bastard?!” Zeline accused her of approaching Violet. She was ready to slap the girl.

“Huh? I’m not! Don’t just accuse me!” Violet argued defensively.

Instead of interrupting the bickering between the two girls, Kalea glanced at Aluna who remained silent and immediately turned her face to another direction when their gazes met for only a split second.

Kalea’s cell phone rang, a sign that there was an incoming message there. She took it from the bag. Kalea frowned in confusion when she got a message from an unknown number.

[Lea, it’s me, Arthur. Tonight, let’s have dinner out. I have a reservation, you just need to come to the location I gave you.]

Unusually, Arthur contacted Kalea with another number.

[Why all of a sudden? And you’re not going to pick me up?]

[Sorry, Baby. I won’t have time, because I still have a lot of work to do. It is okay, right?]

[I see, it’s fine. But why is your number different? Not usually.]

[I used my other phone, one left at the office.]

[Oh, okay.]

[Then see you later.]

Kalea put her phone back in her bag. She got into the car ignoring Zeline, Violet, and their friends who were still arguing.

“Hey, where are you going?!” Zeline asked, knocking on Kalea’s car window.

Kalea rolled down the windshield, then said, “There’s no need to spend so much energy on magnifying a trivial problem like this, Zeline. I have to hurry home, bye-bye.”

“What- you bastard, Lea! How could you leave me!”
