Chapter 176 - Chapter 176

((( ZHIO )))

I stood from my seat and sat by her side.

"No."

I smiled, "You just want me beside you…"

"No…"

I shuffled the top of her hair, "silly, I'll just wash up."

After a quick hot bath and change of clothes, I laid beside her.

If I received that bad news without her at my side, what would I be? A monster to all the people around me?  

Heck, I might have ran back to the bar and waste my whole night drinking.  

Never did I expect I'd have her or even love somebody as much as I am loving her. But there I was, at the comfort of the close space between us.

I let myself drift to sleep with her.

(CLAIRE)

The space beside me was empty when I woke up. It was Sya I saw first in the room.

"Good morning," I smiled at her, "Have you seen Zhio?"

"He left early," she placed the breakfast at the side table, "and he told me to bring you food when you wake up."

I nodded.

The sun has not yet fully risen and the clock said it was still too early.

I sighed at myself.

Zhio usually does that.

Why am I looking for a person, a president to begin with, when in fact I knew he was busy handling a huge company?  

It was obvious enough.

(ZHIO)

I left the mansion before Claire even woke up. There was an urgent thing I had to do at the company.

At the first breaths of the day, few of my people were already arose.  

Few more securities were deployed throughout the vicinity of my estates and the mansion wasn't an exception.

I requested for a tougher security check of all entrants going back and forth my companies; though it'd be a different issue with the hospitals where masses of unknown backgrounds go in for medical attention. There will always be a lapse, considering the real enemy was yet known.

He could be an insider for all I care.

Before my car reached the Zel Cantheliz Company, Wenziel called.

"I heard about the fire," his voice was coarse from sleep, "looks like you gained more enemies."

"I expected that."

"Because you always target other people's businesses."

I rolled my eyes,

"I can press on them much more if they don't know how to fight fairly."
