Ghost CEO Naughty

08

During the trip to Joshua's house, Celina was silent while staring out the window. He thought of Leo's expression as he watched him walk out of Kris' apartment. Earlier, Celina seemed to see a disappointed look in Leo's eyes despite a glance. Whether she saw it wrong or not, Celina hoped it was true. At least if it's true Leo still feels pain when he sees him with another man, meaning that Leo still has feelings for him even if only a speck.

Kris continued to look towards Celina. Celina had been daydreaming, and she knew what Celina was thinking. Celina must be thinking about Leo. Is that how much he loves Leo? Is there a chance for him?

***

Just before lunchtime, Leo's phone rang, there was an incoming call from an unknown number. Leo answered, afraid it was an important phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Is this Leo?"

Leo's forehead is getting wrinkled, he doesn't recognize the voice of the caller.

"Yes, right. Who is this with?"

"Me, Kris."

"Kris?"

"Yes, Maso's son do you remember?"

Leo was silent for a moment.

"What do you need?"

"I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but can we meet this afternoon?"

"..."

"There's something I need to talk about." continued Kris when he didn't get a word from Leo.

"Alright, meet me at the restaurant in front of the Astra building later at lunchtime."

"Okay, I'll see you there."

Clik. Leo closed the call.

"Who?" Devan overheard Leo's conversation just now becoming curious.

"Christian Santoso." replied Leo lazily.

"Master Mario Santoso's son?"

"Hem." Leo moved his chin.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"Nothing." Leo recalled the incident this morning, but he felt it did not make him relate to Kris.

"What business does he keep seeing you?"

"Gue doesn't know either." Leo shrugged his shoulders.

While Devan's eyes squinted, feeling that Leo was hiding something from him.

"Why do I feel like you're getting more and more secret nyimpen from me?"

"Tck, you're very suspicious! I'm like a girl again kasmaran."

"Damn lo!"

"Gue unplug first!" Leo crooked from his chair and walked towards the exit.

"Later the same story!" exclaim Devan.

"It's none of your business!" reply Leo before finally disappearing behind the door.

Devan who was originally chuckling changed the look of his face to be serious. He really felt Leo had changed, almost as much as he had when they first met. Cold, flat, and doesn't say much. And he was sure this had something to do with Celina.

Leo arrived first at the restaurant because it is located near and only takes 10 minutes by foot. He first ordered his favorite food, fried rice beef. Maybe he was curious about what Kris would talk about, but his stomach needed to be filled because since yesterday he had not eaten at all.

"Sorry, I'm late. Have you been waiting a long time?" Kris came with a friendly smile. He came after Leo finished half his meal.

"You can see for yourself." replied Leo with insinuation. He stopped eating because he suddenly felt no taste because he remembered the incident this morning.

Kris maintained his smile, feeling guilty because he was the one who asked to meet but he was also the one who was late.

"Just get to the point!"

"OKAY. First I want to explain what you saw this morning. Last night I called Celina and it turned out that she was at the nightclub. I went straight there and Celina cried while drunk. I wanted to take her home but she said she didn't want to go home so I took her to my apartment. Just so you know, we didn't do anything." Kris talks like a train without brakes.

"You don't have to explain it to me."

"I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you misunderstood Celina."

"Him and I have nothing to do. So there's no misunderstanding."

"really?"

"What?"

"Are you and Celina really not related?"

"Yes." Yeah."Leo said resolutely and glared his sharp eyes.

"Too then I'll chase after him."

"..." - ".Leo felt his chest burn, but he remained silent with his cold face.

"I know your relationship with Celina first."

"..."- ".Leo remained silent.

"I hope you're serious about what you said just now. And one day, don't you try to take those words back."

They were both silent, throwing murderous gazes at each other.

"You're done, aren't you? I'm sorry." Leo stood up then stepped away, but he stopped exactly one step behind Kris.

"Other times you don't need to explain anything to me, because it's none of my business at all." after saying that, Leo continued his steps and left the restaurant with clenched hands.

Kris was still in his place looking at the still steaming cup of coffee. Just now a waiter presented it.

"Aahh, I'm so good it turns out, I almost blinked earlier." Kris chuckled softly considering the war of gazes just now. He sipped his coffee little by little.

Celina is in a famous spa. If in the past when he was frustrated and angry he would damage whatever was nearby, now he chose to calm himself by indulging himself with treatment.

He wanted to shine even more to make Leo regret for having wasted himself. Or maybe he wants to tease Leo again to come back to him. Celina smiled thinking that.

Comfort began to feel. The gentle massage as well as the strong hands of this professional make it more lulled towards the dream realm. But, when the dreamland door was about to open the loud voice of the phone shocked him and made him aghast.

"Damn!" celine with a pounding heart. He picked up the phone without seeing who was calling him, then put up the earphones he was carrying.

"Yes?" celina's voice was very upset.

"Am I interrupting?" Hearing Kris's voice made Celina even more upset.

"Very!" Celina's getting sewed.

"Sorry, sorry. Did I just hang up?"

"Stage. What's up?"

"I'm taking you to dinner tonight." Kris just straight away because he did not want to make Celina more upset, he thought Celina was still missing because this morning.

"can't. I'll eat with daddy tonight."

"really? Okay, if so."

"Hm."

"When can you?"

"Of course."

"All right, I'll close first."

"Hm."

The call was cut off, Celina took off her earphones, reabsorbed the massages until she was re-collapsed and flew into dreamland. While Kris, she looked glum. She was confused thinking of a way for Celina to slowly forget about Leo.
