Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 88. Celine is gone

On Kennard and Lisle's return, almost the entire island felt lost. Kennard appears to be talking to Lucas, while Lisle says goodbye to Andra. However, Andra several times became his training friend. The girl was innocent of anything to him. He is the one who is jealous himself.

"One day, we will fight again. I will definitely defeat you," Lisle said with determination.

Andra just laughed hearing that. She looks so beautiful according to Lisle. In his heart wondered, had Kennard never once liked him?

"The lady has defeated me." Andra recalled the incident the other day when Lisle made her fall on the mat.

Lisle felt embarrassed remembering the incident. The victory looks ridiculous. He uses the oldest female style since ancient times.

"Don't mention that incident again. I'm so embarrassed every time I remember." Lisle's face flushed. "I'll really learn later. And you have to improve your skills. When we meet, I will truly defeat you."

Lisle hugged the girl who was greeted stiffly by Andra. He was not used to being treated that warm. These past days the young mistress had avoided him for some reason. But now this madam looks very friendly. Andra became confused herself.

"You…. Do you really like Mr Kent?" lisle whispered in Andra's ear as they hugged.

Sontak Andra took off the hug. He looked at Lisle in disbelief if this young mistress asked that question again. He feels uncomfortable. If he could be honest, he would ask, who doesn't like a man like Mr Kent? 

"No Madam. I'm just amazed by Sir. That's all." Andra tried to argue. Yes, he was only amazed at the man who owned this island.

"Then, is there someone you like? He's a great guy." Lisle was curious. As beautiful as Andra, it was impossible for no man to try to get close.

Andra became misbehaved to make Lisle forget that the girl in front of him had used both hands to finish people off. The girl said nothing.

Kennard watched his wife from a distance and was able to confirm if the girl must have been talking stupid things with Andra. He approached both.

"Time to go. The helmet is ready." Kennard grabbed Lisle's arm which was still waiting for Andra's reply with a curious face.

Lisle turned to her husband. "In a moment," he said half whining.

"Don't press Andra with stupid questions." Kennard pulls Lisle away from Andra.

The grunts of his wife were heard along with the sound of helicopter propellers rumbling. Despite not hearing it clearly, Kennard knew Lisle was dissatisfied. 

"I think we're going on a boat like yesterday?" Lisle exclaimed loudly overcoming the sound of the propeller. 

Kennard paid no heed to his wife's words. He put a silencer on his wife's head and gestured for the girl to keep her mouth shut.

***

Lisle tried to contact Celine several times but her best friend's phone was off. His forehead was frowning in some possibilities. Two weeks of not hearing the news about Celine made her miss the girl. He couldn't use his cell phone while on the island because Kennard confiscated his cell phone.

"I don't want anyone to interrupt our honeymoon" Kennard said, turning off Lisle's phone. 

For Lisle it was quite fair. So he said nothing as a form of protest. But she disagrees with the word 'honeymoon. Where there's a honeymoon at the training ground.

Lisle tried to ask Thomas who was busy with his oven in the kitchen. "Did Celine ever call home?" 

Thomas hesitantly shook his head. He didn't even feel the need to remember anymore. "No, Mistress. Miss Celine never called here." 

Early in the morning Lisle was already in her old apartment. His apartment was locked and the key he once had could not be used to open. It seems Celine has changed the lock. He asks the apartment guard and gets an answer that Celine hasn't been home for a few days. 

Lisle tried to second guess what happened. Could Celine be going home? Did something happen to her mother? Disappointed, Lisle went to the campus alone. She was hoping to meet Celine and tell her about her sad honeymoon on the island.

At the campus Lisle instead meets Shopia near her class. He wanted to escape but found no other way. The goal is the class in front of him. Not because of fear. He just didn't want to repeat the same commotion. 

Shopia is alone this time. It did not seem that his two usual friends always escorted wherever the girl went. Shopia looked surprised. Obviously he had not expected to meet Lisle.

But Shopia said hello as well. Looks awkward. There was no haughty attitude that he usually displayed every time he met Lisle. "Lisle?"

Lisle stopped her steps right in front of Shopia. He had not expected to hear her name being mentioned so kindly enough by the girl. He had intended to ignore the existence of Shopia who was passing by him.

"Yes?" Lisle looked at the girl in front of him in slight astonishment. I don't know what Shopia wants this time. 

"I'm sorry about what happened the other day. That's…." 

Lisle shook her head quickly. "No problem." He cut off Shopia's apology. "Sorry about the slap."

"Ah, that. I started first." Shopia rarely apologizes. He never imagined that he would one day apologize to the girl he often met. Surprisingly, although it initially felt heavy, but after that Shopia felt relieved. It's not as bad as he thought. 

Having heard nothing more from Shopia, Lisle intended to leave from there. He was about to get into class and try to find a friend to ask about any tasks that might be present while he was away.

"I go first" he told Shopia.

Shopia looked hesitant as she replied to Lisle's polite nod. Suddenly he called out to Lisle, stopping the girl's movements.

"Lisle, wait!"  

Lisle turned. He looked at Shopia questioningly. "What's wrong?"

"I went to see Sally in the city jail. He's the one who had the idea of the rumor." 

Lisle remembered Sally, the girl who used to try to sell it. "You mean, you're working with that girl?" 

"Oh, no.. No! It's not that." Shopia moved her hand in the air as a signal that what Lisle said was not true. He wanted to break away from the snare of enmity with Lisle. The girl even thought she was conspiring with the criminal.

"Then?" 

"I admit, I used to hate you. And I did spread that rumor. But it wasn't all my fault. I'm…."

"That's it. I don't want to bring it up anymore either." To Lisle, Shopia's explanation sounded the same to him. The girl remains guilty. 

"But there's something I want to tell you." Shopia hurriedly added the time she saw Lisle look reluctant to speak to her again.

Shopia saw no interest in Lisle's face. So he continued. "Sally told me that some people were trying to destroy Mr. Kent."
