Gavin is walking alone. Thinks. What good dinner is tonight? And when he reached the school gate, there was one thing that shocked him.

Is that his car!? The car was seized and in chains in the garage of the Gerald mansion. And the number plate that Gavin recognizes. But why is the car here? Suddenly a name slipped in his brain.

"Sena!" Screeched Gavin. Then a girl got out of the car in typical Junior High clothing. Yeah, it's Sena, Gavin's sister.

"Sister!" Sena also shouted at her brother and ran towards him. Then, Sena jumps in and Gavin catches her. They hugged Gavin's position holding Sena now. Good thing here quiet, try if crowded, can run out they in the crowd of many people.

Gavin lowered his sister and stroked her head gently as usual. "You really came to pick up brother?" Ask Gavin.

"Yes! I also took your car to the workshop. I've changed the tires" Sena said with a sweet smile.

"I heard from my father that my brother will study seriously so that his grades are good. And I'll return my sister's car" Sena continued.

Gavin shifted his gaze and stopped stroking Sena's head. "What's up, brother? Brother Gav must be upbeat! Sena will always support you!" Sena.

"Thank you dear. Let's go home" Gavin.

Then Gavin and Sena enter the car and go home. While driving, Gavin remembered something.

"Who are you here with? Because you can't drive, can you?" Gavin asked like he was bullying his sister.

"Of course the driver. But, the driver has told me to take a taxi home. Anyway, who told me to have a sports car that only fit two people doang! How will Kevin come home? We can't go together" replied Sena who then became upset.

"Kevin's going home?"

"Yes, when the semester starts. Around January. He'll be back after the new year"

"Why after the new year?"

"Say, he wanted to celebrate the last new year with his friends there"

"So Kevin will be home soon" muttered Gavin.

"Still long brother! It's still October"

"Next week is in November"

"Oh yeah, you're not cold?" Ask Sena.

"Why?"

"Now the weather is not good. The wind from earlier was strong. And brother just wears a shirt? Does it not freeze?"

"Why should it freeze?" Ask Gavin.

"Eh? Oh yeah!!" Sena suddenly screamed.

"What?"

"But the refrigerator is running! The cold is winter! Hahahaha" Sena laughed loosely and Gavin let her.

"As you are on the deck"

Elsewhere, Yuki walks over with unstoppable sleepiness. He just finished helping Axel overtime. If Greenedy is now at 2pm, then here it is now at 2pm. Time difference of 12 hours.

Yuki slammed her body on her king size mattress after turning on the warmers. Snow had not yet fallen, but the temperature could already make anyone shiver. Yuki continued to stare at the ceiling of the room. Thinking about friends. What are they doing huh?

If he doesn't decide to go back to the mansion, maybe he'll learn as he always did with Gavin. Maybe Valeria and Andro will come along. Oh, or maybe Louis wants to join? Ahh, what the hell was Yuki thinking? Yuki pulled the blanket. Lie down. Then try to sleep and get into the dream.

6.30 a.s.

A woman in formal attire walked into Yuki's room without knocking on the door. This woman tried to wake Yuki up.

"Miss, please wake up now" the woman said.

"Let me sleep, Nancy" Yuki said.

Yes, that woman is Nancy, Nancy Kaley. Nancy was a butler in the main mansion of Cortez. Yuki finds Nancy in an orphanage that was helped by the Cortez family.

Initially, Alvaro wants to adopt her so that she can enter the Siauw family and can accompany Yuki. Nancy refused. He said he wanted to work for the Cortez family to be able to finance the home. And Axel granted it. He put Nancy into the maid & butler school.

And this is where she is now, Nancy being the butler in the main mansion. In fact, Nancy also arranges maids and butlers in other Cortez mansions. Not only one, but the Cortez family has dozens of luxurious mansions spread across various countries.

"Waking up is not good for health. You better wake up, wash your face and exercise" said Nancy with full authority.

Yuki woke up irritated. Oh come! He almost stayed up last night. This girl had only slept for 4 hours. He needs rest. Yuki walked towards the bathroom lazily then stopped in front of the bathroom door.

"Get me some orange juice. I want to drink the juice before jogging" Yuki said then went inside the bathroom.

"As you wish Miss" Nancy bowed slightly then walked out of Yuki's room.

After washing his face and changing his clothes, Yuki went downstairs using the elevator. The main mansion has 6 floors including a rooftop. Would it be nice to go down from the 5th floor? Yuki chose to get off with the elevator. Can save energy.

When she reached the main entrance, there was Nancy standing in the doorway with orange juice in her hand. As Yuki's will.

"Your lady's juice" Yuki received the juice and immediately drank it.

"Drinking while standing is not good for your health, Miss" said Nancy. Yuki ignored him. After the restroom was gone, Yuki gave the glass back to Nancy and ran.

🌸🌸🌸

After Yuki was satisfied jogging around the mansion garden, he finally decided to return with a leisurely walk. And look, the sun just came up. Yuki entered the mansion and went up to the 4th floor.

Ting

Elevator door opens. Yuki finds Axel sitting at the dinner table sipping his coffee with Felix.

"For Felix!"

"For Axel's brother!" Yuki hugged Axel from behind.

"Shower there! The smell of sweat should not touch food" Felix said cynically.

"Such a turn" ketus Yuki while eyeing Felix sharply.

"Hey, Felix's right. There shower. We'll have breakfast together, okay?" Said Axel softly

"Alright" Yuki took off her embrace and walked up the stairs towards her room. Felix continued to stare at Yuki cynically until Yuki was lost from his sight.

"Stop being cold to everyone. You're just being gentle with Yuki. It's annoying" Felix said.

"That's none of your business" Axel replied.

After 15 minutes, Yuki came down wearing long pants, a black sweater and cute hairy sandals. Axel immediately called the waiters to serve breakfast.

Well, if they were in the mansion, they would be treated like kings. But if they're in Zen's ordinary house, there won't be any servants. Zen there only hired a housekeeper who would come when there was no one to clean the house.

When the food came, Yuki took a napkin and put it on her thigh. Yuki ate with wisdom breakfast this time. Corn soup with cream. It's strange. But for Yuki this is very delicious.

"Sister" said Yuki slowly.

"What's sweety?"

"Get me a new phone dong..." Yuki issued his mainstay style, namely by removing puppy eyes. And Axel breathed a heavy sigh.

"Without your asking and pleading, you bought it first" Axel called Nancy to bring a paper bag from his study.

"This is for you. Take"

"Uwaaaahhhh! Sis! This really? Thank you brother" Yuki screeched and accepted the paper bag enthusiastically.

"Just in case" Axel smiled at Yuki.

"Ready brother!"

"If you have a cell phone, don't throw it in the river. Waste of money doang lu mah" snide Felix again.

"Felix Pansih. Tell me to be envious. Wleek" Yuki stuck out her tongue to Felix and Felix was furious. Yuki then took the phone to her room. Curious about his new phone. He wouldn't open it in front of Felix. That sucks for him.

Huh, this Felix, sometimes being formal and sometimes being annoying and sometimes being that he loves Yuki very much. It's disconcerting. Axel prefers Alvaro to Felix. Although Felix is very good in IT, but that does not make him to switch to choose Alvaro. Well, sometimes it sucks for Axel when Alvaro is trying to make fun of him.

"Don't make dong if you have a sister. Wandering to find out how Lo feels!" Felix.

"You don't have the right to rule on Miss" Nancy goes along cynically to Felix.

"What's wrong. Every time I get paid, he always refuses. Even though his position as a financial director in the center is suitable to be paid with hundreds of dollars. Pampering him will not make me bankrupt. Even the cost of his life is not until he reaches his own salary" said Axel then he stood up and then went up to approach Yuki.

"Huhh, anyways who asked the 8-year-old to learn management accounting. That's insane! It's crazy!" Felix.

"You shouldn't complain. It was already a talent miss taking care of finances. After all, being a financial director does not always have to be present at every meeting. Important meetings are not always held. That will make it easier for Miss Yuki. And you, stop complaining!" Nancy now looked at Felix sharply and left him alone.

Felix's chat with Nancy is still heard up. This house is a little echoing. Because Axel reduced the items that he thought were not important. And only leave a few items so they don't look empty. Strange is not that a mansion without a lot of stuff in it?

Clique

"Have the first card been installed yet?" Ask Axel.

"Sister! I'll ask Gavin's number for Alvaro's brother" Yuki said enthusiastically.

"You're gonna call Gavin now?"

"Yes!"

"But it's night, baby. Gavin must have slept" Axel said clearly.

"Yeahhh... Failed to dong." Yuki's disappointed.

"No. Didn't fail. You can call them after tonight's meeting"

"I have to be present?"

"certain"

"All right"

***From : LucyanaYuki

To : GavinGerald

If you're free, video call yuk! Bring the others.

⁇ ️***

Gavin got such a message from Yuki. A thin smile puffed up perfectly on his handsome face. Gavin misses this girl a lot. For 3 days they did not meet.

But, Gavin is determined to admit it. Hmm, yeah incidentally Gavin was carrying his laptop and the last lesson was free. He'll call her later.

And after a few hours of study, finally came the last lesson. This time the lesson hours are empty aka free. Gavin, Andro and Valeria were sitting around watching Gavin fiddling with his laptop.

"ah! Ring!" Pekik Valeria while showing a photo of Yuki that appears from the laptop screen. Valeria was very nervous this time.

Ting!

Wrap on!

"Hi hi!" Yuki said from across there.

"Yeahhh.... Yuki! I Miss you so much!" Peeking Valeria.

"Miss you too Vale. Oh yeah, how are you guys?"

"Well dong" answered Andro.

"Oh yeah, btw, Yuki why wear a black blazer? I think again ngantor" said Andro in a joking tone.

"Hm? I happen to be in a meeting"

"Ehhh!!??"

"Yuki!? We're disturbing, huh!? Pardon me! Mat-" Valeria began to panic.

"Call Vale, the meeting's just over"

"Fiiuhh... Safe" Valeria staggered back and leaned on her stool.

"Why are you in a meeting?" Ask Andro.

"Izeng aja"

A whim? Wow Yuki's. Short answers that hide big things. Because at the meeting, Yuki just presented the financial data report of the giant company. And Yuki easily said just a fad? Don't think about it.

"Where did Vin learn it? Have you studied yet?"

"Not yet" Gavin replied briefly.

"Yaudah, I'll send you a summary. Anyway we have to study this morning!"

"Morning?" Gavin seemed to realize something.

"Ehh, the night means. Hehehehe" Yuki instead laughed clumsily, scratching his nape which was actually not itchy then tilting his head. Huh, looks like a lie.

"Don't tell me that it's there tonight" Gavin began to intimidate her.

"Ehh, anu it-" Yuki's speech was cut off.

"Excuse me. This is the financial statement of the company I just copied. The original report must be criminalized?" The words of a man who managed to make Yuki switch to look at him.

"Give me. I'll keep it in the documentary room tomorrow"

"This lady, well then excuse me, miss. Good evening. Happy resting. Your work has fascinated me"

"alright. Go home. The morning rush will come"

Yuki was silent for a moment. The view has not shifted back to the laptop. Gavin wanted to shut down his laptop, but Valeria forbade it.

"Ekkhheem.." Gavin.

"Eh uh. Why isn't the laptop dead!?" Yuki.

"What time is it?" Gavin asked with sharp eyes and tone.

"Eh? Uhm, briefly.." Yuki raised her phone and pressed the button beside her then glanced at the laptop doubtfully. "It's 1:24-"

Gavin still looked at him sharply. Yuki was getting scared. "Night?" Ask Gavin briefly. Then Yuki exhaled a heavy breath while closing her eyes.

"Yes night" Yuki replied limply.

"Down off! Go home and sleep"

"alright... But remember! At 7 we learn! Beware later if you skip the skirt-"

BEEPING.

Gavin shuts down his laptop suddenly. Andro and Valeria turned and looked at Gavin.

"Gavin!" Screeched Valeria

"He needs sleep. Don't be selfish" Gavin immediately tidied up his laptop and the messy wires on the table.

"Gavin ain't exciting!" Valeria.

"Crazy Lo if you still want to continue the video call. It's half 2 noon-"

"Keep why?" Sela Valeria's.

"But there at half-time 2 am bep. That means Yuki hasn't slept. Cassian. Ngertiin dong Vale. Yuki also finished a meeting at the office. Must be very tired" Andro said gently to Valeria.

"Filen." Valeria lost a lot.

And you know what? Over there, Yuki smiled clumsyly looking at her laptop. Gavin severed the connection unilaterally. Huh, pissed. Yuki is still missing. Axel who had been sitting in front of Yuki actually wanted to laugh, but was arrested. Unbearable. Her sister is too cute to laugh at.

"Prophey dong sweety. That's right Gavin said. We go home now. I'm going to morning. I'll have someone take your coat" Axel said as he stroked Yuki's back.

"Go home yuk kak" said Yuki. Axel frowned to himself, puzzled.

"Go back to that little house?" Said Axel origin.

"It's not a small house! But we call it a simple house" explained Yuki. Axel lowered his smile, flat back.

"Buy the mansion near your school" Axel bargained.

"Uwaaahhh. That's a great idea! And can I use a bike to go to school!?" Yuki was enthusiastic.

Axel silences.

Well, letting a big miss bike in the middle of town is safe isn't it? Actually it's a little risky. Because Yuki has been published as the successor to the third giant company owned by the Cortez family.

Does Axel have to hire invisible bodyguards like ninjas anymore? Fearful Yuki ran away and disappeared again like that time.

Suddenly someone appeared from behind the door with a brown coat in his hand and it was thought that it belonged to Yuki.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. We go home now" Axel managed to divert Yuki's thoughts who had been thinking about going to school by bicycle. But Axel hasn't answered.

"Alright" Yuki got up from his seat of greatness. Yes, they are now in the headquarters building and rather in the room belonging to the director of finance aka Yuki. Know ga? Understand lah.

'huhh, crazy! Cave sister wants to ride a bike to school? Why did the cave have dozens of cars and hundreds of men' Axel's men sat in his heart.
