A Lionel Si Casanova

Chapters. 6. Agatha Arrival

Reddick's mind is full. After Bellina's cold attitude towards her now Lionel, she thought hard about Agatha's appearance in the office.

 

Reddick's steps were a little quick towards his room. When the door opened, he found a middle-aged woman. Walk around the bookshelves that are there.

 

"Oh, Lionel. You've finally come too." Agatha smiled. Reddick felt strange about his mother's attitude.

 

"What's up to me, Auntie?" Reddick sat on the couch followed by the woman.

 

"I just greeted you." Agatha smiled kindly.

 

"Without? Intentionally come to the company? Very easy ..." If normally, Reddick had been more silent in front of this woman, now he felt the need to talk a lot to question her attitude now.

 

"Why are you so cold, Lion. This aunt came with bringing peace." Agatha kept smiling even though Reddick said coldly. Whether conscious or not, it looked strange in Reddick's eyes.

 

"Peace? Peace on what?"

 

"Tante knows you really want Bellina. If you want ... I'll marry you to him,” Agatha said with a full face to offer.

 

"She's still Reddick's wife.” She's still my wife. We're not divorced yet even though I've left her alone in the world.

 

"The matter can be arranged. Reddick is dead anyway. He no longer belongs to anyone. My husband can't do anything because he's old." Agatha spoke well. He did not know the soul inside the man in front of him was his stepson.

 

Reddick looked at this woman with a sharp look. Hearing what Agatha was talking about, Reddick was shaken. His heart beat fast. He was angry and sad to hear the woman who had been his mother talk about his father and wife impudently even without respect.

 

But Reddick needs to hold back. He should not be immediately angry because he wanted to know the clarity of all the things that had been blurry in his eyes all this time.

 

"Can it be arranged?" Reddick's forehead shriveled. Agatha nodded surely. “What do you mean?”

 

“I will keep marrying you to Bellina no matter what.”

 

“Bellina want?" reddick continued to pretend. But he knew the woman would. Aren't they lovers?

 

"certain. Of course he wants to. It's not that his life depends on my husband's kindness. I will try to persuade him and say that this is my husband's order,” Agatha said happily.

 

Reddick didn't expect the woman he used to call mama to be like this. Although he was not very close, they never quarreled. But knowing his true nature, makes Reddick goosebumps himself.

 

"I'm surprised Auntie can peddle her daughter-in-law like that" Reddick said with a sharp eye. Agatha was silent on the sofa. But then smiled wryly. The woman stood up and approached Reddick.

 

"I'm surprised you're starting to act like Reddick. You're Lionel, aren't you?" agatha's question made Reddick realize that he had to stop being himself if he wanted to know what exactly this woman was deliberately coming to his office.

 

"of course. Aunt doubt me?" Reddick tried to laugh. Goddamnit!

 

"Of course not." Agatha flicked her hand in front of Reddick. Looking at Reddick's cold eyes, Agatha frowned slightly. "Tante knows you won't let Auntie down."

 

Reddick had no idea at first these two could be as familiar as this. From the Wyclif family home, she felt very foreign to the closeness of her mother and sister with Lionel.

 

Turns ... I don't know much about everyone in the house. What have I been doing all my life? sorry Reddick.

 

...***...

 

Delvin immediately appeared in this room after Agatha left home.

 

 

"She usually comes begging?" Reddick just found out that Agatha shows up at the office a lot.

 

"You forgot? He always told you to meet Bellina for no reason." Despite answering his friend's strange question, Delvin frowned in surprise.

 

"Me?"

 

"Lionels. It is like waking up from a long sleep. What's wrong with you? Sick? Hit hard? What's?" cerca Delvin who felt this man always did not understand.

 

"What are you saying, Delvin? Why would I be healthy like this you call sick?" cerca Reddick turned around to disguise her strangeness.

 

"Yes. In your head like there are other thoughts. There are many things you do not know when you did it yesterday. Like some memory in your head is gone.” Delvin said it very precisely.

 

"Please take it that way." Reddick grunting. "My brain's been tangled lately. I need some entertainment."

 

"Then ... Is the habit of partying the same?"

 

"Fest?"

 

"Yes. Expose Club." Delvin shows VIP member card. As a Reddick, he never went to nightclubs. It was very different from Lionel's habits. "We'll be there tonight. It's not like you'll spend a lot of time there when you're tired."

 

It's not me, but it's okay. I'll try.

 

"OKAY. We'll be there tonight."

 

...***...

 

Seeing the dim nightclub and loud music made Reddick cover one ear with a finger to drive away the noise with annoyance. Delvin. It's very strange according to him. The party king and the lady-lover get upset with the nightclub? Waw.

 

"Why?" delvin asked who chose to ask directly instead of wondering in his heart. Reddick looked quickly.

 

"This place is very ..." Reddick had almost said that he was very upset by the noise of music. But seeing the look on Delvin's face that looked at him in wonder, he did not do it. "Yes .. very crowded. I like that." Reddick immediately deflected his sentence. He wanted to laugh at her who said fake things.

 

"Yes ... Many with your favorite beautiful and sexy women," said Delvin who immediately agreed while presenting an amazing spectacle of the club women who were laughing and merry.

 

Reddick screeched disgustedly as he saw them all looking towards him with eyes full of excitement.

 

"Yes ... Lionel! You coming, baby?" they say almost simultaneously.

 

The darling?

 

Reddick's body went down for a moment. He was not used to the affectionate name with that spoiled voice. They're other people. Even Bellina's call to him was just a name, nothing more. So when there is a term of affection, which comes out of the lips of women who are not at all familiar, makes Reddick creeps.

 

"It looks like they've been waiting for you" Delvin said with a funny grunt. Also true. Some of the women approached Reddick with great enthusiasm.

 

"Oh Lionel, we miss you so much. Some days you don't show up here. Are you sick?" askthem. Their faces were really anxious. Of the many beautiful-faced women with makeup and clothing aimed at getting a victim, their longing sentences are truly sincere. That's not a figure of speech.
