Mafia Boy's Secret

S2. Unknown Number (Pt2)

While waiting for Jordan to call me, I chose to relax while watching TV in a voice small enough to keep Carmelia from waking up. It didn't take 30 minutes, I got a call from Jordan.

"Lumayan too" I muttered, then picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mister."

"Hows it? did you find out who's behind that prank call?"

"Sorry, Sir. We traced the number to its roots, but we did not find the caller. A few minutes before you called me, it looks like he's lost his number."

"Huh? how come? I called you right after I confirmed the number with the number that called Carmelia last night. But he even obliterated his number with such a short amount of time?"

"If it's a serial number, how could he have obliterated his number and erased his imprint?"

"I can't be sure who and how that person got the Madam's number, but I will increase the security of the Madam's and yours's number. I hope something like this won't happen again."

"Haah. Get your sleep on." I also disconnected the phone.

"Why would anyone choose to live a short life? I have no intention of killing anyone!" my wonder.

Because I wanted to get ready early, I chose to call Vernon and tell him to bring the waiter, to help me get ready. It's too early to be ready, because usually I always prepare every 7 am or even more. But, because I don't want to make Carmelia's mood bad for seeing my face. So it's better to avoid it, until the mood really improves.

In a cold room, with piles of documents at each table, and this slightly dark room, I was alone. I wear clothes as usual, a white shirt with both sleeves rolled up, and black pants with the addition of black leather shoes as well.

I turned on the room lights first, then stepped towards my desk which still looked the same as last night.

"What is it because I'm too early, so no one has tidied up this room?" I was surprised to see documents scattered everywhere.

Before sitting down, I opened the window curtain first. Of course there is no sun, the sky still looks dark. But early in the morning like this, the guards had already gone around to ensure the safety of the castle.

"It seems better that I go out, while waiting for this room to clear," I murmured, then turned around and stepped out of the room.

I walked through the hall that still looked lonely, but there were already a few servants visible in every hallway I passed. When in front of the main door of the castle, it turns out that the door is still closed very tightly.

"Can this be opened? isn't the key with Vernon, is it?" I muttered while holding the doorknob.

"I just realized, it turned out that the door was many times larger than an ordinary door. It's like the border door of the World and the Hereafter" I wonder.

Suddenly someone called me from behind, I looked back and looked at the person.

"Who? Andre's? when are you back?" I asked as I looked at Andre who stepped closer to me.

"Good Morning, Sir," he said, looking down.

"I just got back 1 hour ago, sir."

"Then why are you here? You should have rested, right?"

"I can't sleep, maybe because of the coffee I drank earlier."

"There's just nothing."

"Oh yes, sir. Why did you wake up so early? I was surprised when I saw you at the door, I thought it wasn't you."

"I just want to wake up in the morning, because I think it's really fresh outside. So, I want to go out and breathe some air while I wait for my room to clear."

"Then let me go with you. I also want to find the wind, I hear the lake near here is very beautiful in the morning."

"Lake? uh! I just remembered next to the castle there was the Lake, because it never took a walk out. I forgot that the castle was built in the middle of the forest with its funds."

"Then, come. I drove to the lake, "he asked.

I just nodded slowly with a smile, and the man stepped closer to the door. Then pulled the two doors, with the ease of the door that had been seen closed tightly, even opened very easily in the hands of Andre.

*Am I the weak one, or is she the one who is too strong?* my inner wonder saw that the door was starting to open wide.

Andre also led me out of the castle, because this is just a normal walk. The guards who had wanted to accompany us, I instead told him to stay in their positions and let us walk alone.

"Oh yeah, Jordan. Do you have any idea how someone's gonna wipe out his phone number, until a trace of his whereabouts is gone?" ask me.

"What's the matter, sir? Do you want to get rid of someone's number?"

"No, I'm just curious about someone calling Carmelia. When checked, the number is declared to disappear without a trace."

"Huh? how come? that's pretty hard for an ordinary person to do, unless that person's an expert at networking like that."

"Haah, no, maybe he is just a prankster. And again, Jordan's been saying to increase the security of Carmelia's number."

"I hope the man dies, even if not with my own hands. Could he be harassing Madame Anggara!"

Hearing Andre's words, I immediately smiled faintly. Because if you look at the attitude of Andre who was and is now, it is very different. He hated Carmelia very much, and did not want to interfere in her affairs. But now? He was always ready to take care of Carmelia with his own strength.
