It was eight o’clock in the morning but he was still lying in bed. He had no desire to get up and go down to eat. There is yogurt in the small refrigerator in his room. Maybe that’s all he’ll eat later. He asked the Lord why he was punishing him? He was too young to take it all from him!
But his meditation was disturbed when suddenly there was a knock outside his room. Before going to the door, he first took a garment to cover his nightgown. There is a texture because it is clearly his chest. When he put on his clothes, he immediately opened the door. Rachel thought maybe Maggie was the one outside because they met yesterday.
“Brett!” Rachel was surprised because he suddenly hugged her. He was wearing only a white t-shirt and Levis jeans and only slippers. And as usual, her hair was still tied up. Brett was really very handsome. And in the midst of his mourning, it was still able to revive his blood. If only she didn’t have a boyfriend, she would be happier.
“I’m sorry for your loss, baby. Collin and I just got back last night and I haven’t brought my cellphone yet. I’m really sorry,” Brett explained why he hadn’t shown up to the woman these last few days. Aside from her being busy, she was also really scared.
As Brett caressed her back, tears suddenly dripped from her eyes as she was touched by what the man had done. The pleasure of feeling that he had sympathy. It seemed to lend him strength. After a few minutes of crying her tears were also gone. However, it still did not absolve him.
“Why didn’t you tell me Bettina was at the hacienda?” she was not ashamed to ask the man about Bettina. Who knows, maybe Bettina was just lying, right?
Brett frowned at what he heard because he didn’t know how the news that Bettina had gone to the hacienda had reached the woman. “How did you know?”
Rachel broke away from Brett’s embrace and just stared at the man. He felt as if cold water had been poured on him in Brett’s response. It didn’t even deny about the other woman. “You have a girlfriend, why did you do that to me?” Because if she has a boyfriend, she will not be able to have sex with another man.
Brett chose not to answer Rachel’s question because the woman couldn’t understand him either. “Are you feeling light now?” he changed the subject because he didn’t want Rachel to mention Bettina’s name again.
“Little,” he said once wiping away the tears with the handkerchief Brett had given him.
“Don’t worry. I’m just here. And I won’t leave you, okay?” Brett’s promise.
“Thanks. I don’t know where to start now that Daddy is gone. How are our businesses, Brett? I have no idea how to run that and a lot of employees rely on him.” He said it exaggeratedly because that was his main problem.
“Don’t worry because I’ll help you and your father’s businesses won’t collapse right away because he’s gone. His staff is great Rachel, so don’t worry.” Brett boosted the woman’s mood. “Have you eaten yet? You seem to be losing weight,” he noticed that the woman was a little thinner.
“Not yet, you?” He asked Brett.
“In that case, we’ll eat together. I’ve been hungry before,” Brett held Rachel’s hand so they could go down together but the woman refused.
“I’ll change my clothes first, so just go downstairs first.” Said Rachel.
“Hmm, let’s go together. I’ll wait for you out here. Five minutes?” He wanted them to go down at the same time.
“Ten minutes,” she countered. “And come in first, you’re obviously tired so sit on the sofa first.” He commands the man.
“It doesn’t look good that I’m coming into your room!” Brett refused to obey what Rachel said.
She couldn’t help but laugh at him. “My my my, are you serious? Have you forgotten what happened to us? Ha?” When he looked at Brett’s face, he saw it was frowning. Maybe it wasn’t comfortable that he just casually mentioned about what had happened to them. “Okay, fine. All right, it’s up to you, but if you’ll change your mind, the door is open.” He went in and went straight to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and blows dry her hair. She applied lotion all over her body and moisturizer to her face.
“What happened in ten minutes?” The girl remained inside for over thirty minutes.
“It’s really like that sometimes,” Rachel replied as she shrugged.
“Okay, let’s go,” Brett said and at the same time they went down to the dining hall.
When they arrived at the dining area, Rachel was surprised to see a group of men. He looked at Brett and asked. “Who are they?”
“My friends,” Brett replied. “I’m sorry if I didn’t mention it earlier, I was worried about you so we went straight here. I asked Maggie to feed them, “Brett added.
“Ah okay,” he understood. And her heart jumped again at what she heard from Brett. Did it worry him? Now, imagine that!
“Good morning, Miss.” Brett’s friends greeted Rachel at the same time.
“Good morning to you all too, just keep eating,” she said as she motioned Brett to sit down and eat.
After they ate Brett’s five colleagues including Collin of course introduced themselves. They are said to be business partners but Rachel is doubtful if they are telling the truth. He could not help but doubt because the men’s actions were strange. They’re very vigilant and their expressions were guarded just like Brett. But he has no intention of finding out who they really are. Enough with him that they are Brett’s friends. She asked Maggie to prepare their guest rooms upstairs.
“Bro, let’s take a walk around here first. The place is nice,” Nick said.
“Yes Bro, but no matter how beautiful the place is, Rachel is more beautiful,” Alexander said and winked at Rachel.
“That’s right, and very kind,” Kevin said.
Brett didn’t like what his friends were doing and called one of them, “Alex wait a minute,” he called to the man.
“Yes, why Brett?”
“Rachel’s taken!” Brett warned Alexander in a dangerous tone.
