Chapter 103 - 104. Just Ended
"It's up to you. As your good and very handsome cousin, I will support whatever you do," Leo said but Devan didn't respond in the slightest.
Devan chuckles.
"Ah yes, how is your maid?" Leo asked making Devan glance at him once again.
"Anna?"
"Um, yes Anna."
"Why is she?"
"No, I just wanted to know how she was. You didn't do anything to her did you?" Leo replied, his memory flashing back to that night. The night he saw a man treating Anna very rudely.
"He didn't come in today."
With his head still leaning, Leo turned to the side.
"He said he wasn't feeling well, really why did you suddenly ask about that woman?"
"No, I was just curious," Leo replied.
Hearing that, Devan didn't respond anymore and returned his focus to the wheel.
Don't be surprised why Devan drives his car more often even though there is Hendra, his driver. No special reason, just like and want it. However, it's a different story if he is on his way to the office, usually, Hendra often takes him, because during the trip he can have his own time to check his schedule for that day and also some things related to his work.
No more talking, silence, only the sound of the bustle of the very noisy city filling their journey. Both were busy with their thoughts.
"If you need anything don't hesitate to contact me," Leo spoke again.
Devan's brow furrowed. Somehow he felt that tonight Leo was a little different, not only his attitude but everything he said sounded a little strange, he had never seen the side of his cousin like this. It was as if something big was happening and he was on the side of not knowing anything.
"Focus on your steering, I don't want to die young," Leo said again when he felt Devan's gaze on him.
Devan was spoken to only squeaked.
As for Leo, the man chose to close his eyes. He seems to be trying to make peace with his mind.

Australia || Nicho's apartment
Since receiving the news from Indonesia this afternoon, the man has been very restless. Unable to calm down, even the meeting with his client tonight he postponed until tomorrow.
He wants to go back to Indonesia right now. But he couldn't because in the next few days he had made an appointment with several investors. And it can't be delayed or aborted at all.
Currently, he is in the workspace in his apartment, sitting for hours without moving at all, since then his attention has only been focused on the display of the laptop screen in front of him.
It was an email from someone he didn't know. It contains a thank you note as well as information saying that Anna, Dave, and Naila will no longer live in his house. Not only that, but money worth billions of rupiah also suddenly entered his account, he said it was a thank you money as well as replacement money as long as he supported Anna and her son.
The man who sent the email claimed to be Dave's father's assistant. The man also asked him not to interfere with Anna's life and anything related to it.
Not only that, but Dave's father's assistant also said he had deleted Anna's relationship status from being registered with the State.
More or less the essence of the contents of his email like that. Nicho had read it several times, no, maybe he had read it hundreds of times just to make sure that what he received was true and not a hallucination.
He wanted to ask Anna directly, really, really wanted to, but the woman's number is no longer reachable, and that further clarifies the contents of the email.
He had called the house. But only Naila picked it up and said something similar to the contents of the email he received.
Somehow Nicho feels hurt, even though he and Anna do not have any relationship.
Was his meeting with that woman a few weeks ago at the airport their last meet?
It seemed like Nicho had a hard time accepting everything that happened suddenly.
He never expected something like this to happen, because she always said that Dave's father was dead every time he asked about it.
Now everything that had to do with that woman was cut off by the sudden presence of another man.
And it all just ended.
Until the early morning, the man still did not move from his position, his appearance looked very messy, his eye bags were getting thicker with very disheveled hair.

Brian's House
The glare of the light that escaped from the window lattice made a woman who was still wrapped in a blanket squirm softly.
That woman is Anna.
It was now nine o'clock in the morning, she didn't usually wake up so late.
Blinking her eyes slowly to adjust the light entering her retina, Anna slowly got up while squinting from the glare.
"Good morning, Madam."
Hearing someone's voice, Anna looked around, it was Elena who opened the window curtain.
"Morning, Elena," Anna replied casually.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep."
"I am doing this out of obligation, madam. I have a responsibility to take care of you, and I hope you will understand."
Anna just nodded, then looked at the clock on her right.
Instantly her remaining drowsiness disappeared.
"I woke up late," she mumbled.
"Maybe it's because you're tired, madam. You'd better take a shower now and have breakfast," said Elena. It's too late to be called breakfast.
"Since it's your first day here, then it's fine."
"This afternoon I will submit the schedule and what things Mrs. can do as Mr. Brian's wife. And vice versa," said Elena again.
"You mean, I'm not free to do anything in this house?"
"This is an order, madam. And as a wife, you must obey it," replied Elena.
Anna wanted to curse. Not only did the man force her into marriage, but he also restricted all her movements.
Isn't it enough just to force her to marry?
Alright Anna, looks like from now on you're going to be that bastard man's puppet.
A harsh sigh escaped from between her lips.
"Isn't anyone coming today?" asked Anna suddenly remembering her son.
"What do you mean madam?" Elena's brow furrowed faintly.
"Just forget it. So what should I do now?" replied Anna changing the subject.
"If you mean your son and his babysitter, they arrived at eight o'clock earlier," said Elena, only to understand the meaning of Anna's question.
"Eight o'clock? Really? Where are they now?" asked Anna again.
"You'd better take a shower, madam, later I'll take you to meet them," said Elena again.
"Alright, alright," Anna quickly got out of bed.
."You guys come in," Elena half-shouted, and at that very second two women dressed as maids entered the room carrying a trolley full of bottles that Anna didn't know about.
"What's this?"
"Why did they come in?" Anna is steady full of question marks towards Elena.
"You should wear all these when you shower, madam. And the two maids will help you."
"Huh?"
"Even what I wear when taking a shower is regulated?"
Elena just nodded, smiling.
