Bryan's office
Morning
Selena went to bryan's office to ask about her sister's situation because she had contacted him several times she couldn't.
He left with a scarf to cover his neck so that not many people noticed the bruises that were on his neck due to the grip of lyora.
When he entered the bryan room he saw a woman in the bryan room, but he did not recognize her because he had never seen her before.
Selena and the woman looked at each other because they had just met each other for the first time.
Selena gave the eye code to bryan asking the woman.
"Ah.he's my new secretary Alexa. Oh yeah alexa this is selena my cousin and selena this is alexa." Bryan introduced each other.
Selena and Alexa shake hands and smile at each other.
"Oh yeah alexa you can go back to your table first." Leo
"Good sir." Answer alexa and get out of bryan's room.
Bryan invited Selena to sit on the sofa in his room.
"Do you know how erino is doing, I called him a few times but couldn't." Selena asked worried.
Bryan had not been able to answer the question selena he had misfocused with a scarf on the neck of selena.
"Why are you wearing a scarf?" Ask bryan
astonishment and reaching out to remove the selena scarf.
Selena reflexes away and protects her scarf.
"No, I just feel cold." Selena answered spontaneously.
Bryan was amazed by the behavior of selena he had time to think that do not - do the selena cover is the mark of leo kiss. Selena covered it up.
"In this hot weather do you feel cold?? Are you sick?" Bryan forcibly opened the selena scarf and was surprised to see a bruise on Selena's neck like a giggle.
"Why your neck? What the hell's going on? Why are there bruises there?" Bryan's cross.
"It's okay." Selena answered, closing her hand.
"Just tell me who did it? What leo?"
"Not-no, it wasn't Leo who did it but lyora, he choked me last night after coming home from here, but it's okay this is almost healed I've compressed it with cold water." Selena immediately re-justified her scarf.
"This is what I see." Said Bryan while pulling selena closer, he saw the neck of selena stick and slowly touch her "does it hurt?" Ask bryan
"L-it's a little." Selena answered nervously because she felt awkward seeing him so close.
"Wait a minute I remember it looks like I have an ointment that can relieve pain and fade the scar, wait a minute I'll take it." Bryan immediately walked to his desk to pick up the ointment that was in his drawer.
"Near by I help you put it on." Bryan.
"It's-it's not necessary that I can apply it myself." Reject selena while taking the ointment in bryan's hand.
"Shut up and obey." Bryan took back the ointment that was in Selena's hands.
He slowly rubs it into the neck of selena.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"That's when my phone died and. I was also afraid to worry you and. To be honest I was afraid of being scolded for disobeying when you wanted to drive me home." Selena looked down because she felt guilty for not telling bryan.
"Of course I'm going to be angry and worried because I'm.("loving you and fearing losing you" not daring to voice it) care about you no matter how much you're like my own sister I have to take care of and protect.
Later don't be like this again I don't like (while hugging selena) what if something happens to you but I don't know what, where else will I look for you?." Bryan hugged Selena with his glassy eyes.
On one side
Alexa was standing in front of the door of the bryan room, because she wanted to ask him to sign some papers.
But immediately his steps stopped and did not knock on the door because he saw bryan who was hugging selena.
Somehow selena was a little disappointed when Bryan said himself as a sister.
"Well I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again." Selena said while inviting bryan to unite their little fingers.
"Oh yes, you asked erino, right?, you don't have to worry that she's okay there.
earlier I had contacted my acquaintance who was there and asked how he was. I also had time to talk to erino using his phone.
I've also told erino to immediately buy a new number and call you." Bryan
"Thank God if she's okay I'll be calm." Selena.
"Oh yeah.. When did you start having a new secretary?" Selena asked curiously because she kept wondering who the woman really was not it was the woman.
"It's only been a few days.I found him being beaten up by a middle-aged man I thought it was his father. Because of pity so I helped her." Bryan.
~ flashback ~
That night
Bryan just came out of the bakery he saw his watch showing at 20:30
He looked across the street and saw a woman being beaten by a middle-aged man in a quiet place.
She wanted to ignore it as if she had not seen it but her little heart was trembling to help her.
Finally he ran towards the woman.
Duakhhh. bryan kicked the man who was beating the woman, so the man fell.
Instantly the woman immediately ran to hide behind the bryan.
"Who told you to interfere?" Snapped the middle-aged man
"Go or I'll call the police?" Threaten bryan while typing the emergency number on his phone.
The middle-aged man continued to babble and curse at the woman hiding behind him.
"Based on a fucking kid, no use, just watch out for you." Bump the middle-aged man while walking away.
While the woman standing behind the body of bryan looks very trembling in fear.
"Have already.he's gone." said Bryan to the woman as he turned toward the woman behind him.
Bryan who saw it could not bear to leave him alone was afraid that the man would come back again.
He took her to sit in front of the bench and gave her the mineral water and bread she had bought.
"Eat." Bryan said while offering food.
Doubtfully the woman slowly took the bread she gave and ate it.
"Thank you sir." Said the woman
The woman really looks shabby and chaotic.
his hair was very messy with a short dress that had a lot of dirty patches.
"What's your name? " ask bryan
"A-lexa." replied the woman as she chewed bread.
"Is that your father?"
Alexa answered bryan's question.
"If you don't mind why he hit you?" Bryan asked doubtfully.
"He always told me to go near rich men to extort money, but I turned him down a few times and I was beaten up afterwards."
Bryan who heard it became a little touched and felt sorry for him.
