Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 165 - On the subject of Power

Lucia had reached the Villa, she immediately went to her room to check on Rayn's condition. However, Lucia does not see Rayn in her room. Lucy searches for Rayn's whereabouts in the bathroom and other rooms while trying to contact Rayn. Not long after, Rayn sent him a message that showed him where he is now.

Rayn is currently in her painting room. Lusia sighed in relief then immediately went to the painting room to meet Rayn. Lucia entered immediately after pressing the password. "Why have you been working so late like this after your condition just improved?" lusia asked with an annoyed and anxious look on her face.

Rayn just broke down a smile, she put a palette in it and took off the apron that was tied to her body. Rayn walked up to Lucia and hugged her. "What about your day today?" ask Rayn.

Rayn understood that Lucia had gone through a tough day today. "You look tired and still have to meet that rude man. I was getting angry because he was not apologizing, but instead dared to bully and yell at you" Rayn said.

Lucia was speechless as even what happened with Eric at the Cafe had already gone straight to Rayn's ears. Looks like they really made Dave a double agent.

Rayn hugged Lucia who was still in her arms. "I just want to make him realize that everything he has is not everything. If he wanted to use his wealth as a shield to humiliate others, then he had committed a great pity. I just want to show you how to use wealth. Turn that wealth into a power that frightens him" Rayn said.

"So, what happened to the company, if it was because of you?" tanya Lucia looked up at Rayn.

Rayn looked at the tiny face of his wife who was staring at him. With sweetness Rayn got rid of the strands of hair that covered Lucia's face. "I'm sad, your question makes me feel like I've done something evil. NK Group is my father's company . I'm just asking for something simple, so don't worry" Rayn said.

"NK Group? isn't your father's company N...C...I Cons...truc.tion.." said Lucia hesitated for fear of mispronouncing. Lusia had never checked Rayn's family background. He had only heard the news once because he was afraid of being wrong.

"NCI Construction? it is just a subsidiary under the auspices of NK Group" Rayn said.

Lucia doesn't believe it, which means Rayn's father is an extraordinary person. "But Rayn, regardless of how big your father's company is, I don't think it's that much. Maybe it's as good for you as it is, but it's wrong, Rayn. If Eric's father's company really went bankrupt just because of this. I will be a very guilty person" Lucia explained.

Lucia explained the meaning of his words. "How many employees will lose their jobs. Rayn, if it's Eric's attitude, aren't we punishing Eric enough, not innocent employees should be holding him up. Think about how the burden of a leader must bear hundreds, even thousands of employees. Rayn, can't you just forgive her and don't involve her father's company?" ask Lucia.

Rayn stared fixedly at Lucia's face, she broke down a smile as she clasped Lucia's face with her two hands. "You are a wonderful woman and wise one. Well I understand, forgive your husband for acting without considering your feelings. You're right, I've made a big mistake without thinking about the consequences. But, sometimes I also find it difficult to control my anger, how can I change my already bad mood?" rayn asked with his charming face.

"What about this?" tanya Lucia pulled Rayn's collar and landed a kiss on her husband's sweet lips.

Rayn rounded his eyes when he got a sudden attack from his wife. Rayn clasped Lucia's face again and returned the kiss with a more wild hot kiss. Rayn really makes Lucia out of breath but makes her want more. Rayn lifted his wife's body and took her out of the painting room without letting go of her kiss. In his private room, Lucia would change Rayn's bad mood with a warm heart.

The next day...

Lucia's working hours will soon be over, Arka told him that after work from the Cafe, Rayn asked him to meet. Not only that, Rayn had also prepared a change of clothes for Lusia. Lucia did not know about it because Rayn did not say anything when she went to work earlier. "It's fitting that he asked me to change the morning shift today" Lucia murmured.

After work Arka immediately took Lucia to a luxury hotel. Arka allows Lucia to change clothes before she will deliver Lucia to Rayn.

Lucia looked at herself in the mirror which revealed the beauty of the dress she was wearing. "Is he still not satisfied with last night? Does his heart still feel bad to the point of having to take me to this place" murmured Lucia glanced around.

Lucia who finished changing clothes directly between the Ark to the floor of the Exclusive Penthouse suite, where Rayn had been waiting for him there. Arriving in front of the elevator that will go directly to the main room, Arka invited Lusia to enter.

There Rayn stood with a glass of wine in her eyes, looking outwards at the stunning cityscape. Seeing the spacious and luxurious rooms, and Rayn who was dressed neatly with a suit and a glass of wine in her hand made Lucia start thinking wildly.

"Why did you ask me to meet here?" ask Lucia.

Rayn turned her head, welcoming his wife's arrival with a thrilling sweet smile. "You're so beautiful" Rayn praised Lucia's performance with the dress she chose.

Hearing the compliment, Lucia then clasped her body with both hands. "Did you bring me here to continue round two ?" asked Lucia in a voice like she was whispering because Arka was still standing there.

Rayn moved her legs step by step towards Lucia. "Second round? Wh why? Can't your husband want it? Why did you close it, I've seen it all so often. And why are you being shy when we've done it for the umpteenth time" Rayn's seductive approach to speaking in a sensual voice.

Lucia frantically codes Rayn to stop because Arka is there. Rayn who was right in front of Lucia then looked at Arka for a moment and then looked back at Lucia. "If I ask him to leave, will we do it?" whispered Rayn.

Rayn brought her face closer to make Lucia's heart gurgle more and more. Rayn stared at Arka who gave her an omen and whispered in Lucia's ear. "We'll do it later, now we'll meet the guest I invited" Rayn said, then slipped a strand of Lucia's hair behind her ear. "You're really pretty" she continued.

Not long ago came some representatives of NK Group and also two people who are not strangers in the eyes of Lucia. Seeing the arrival of his guests, Rayn placed the wine glass and stood up by leaning on the end of the table, leaning with legs crossed.

"Eric's? And isn't that guy Eric's dad?" muttered Lusia.

Lucia looked surprised to see who was coming. Lucia looked at Rayn who looked very calm even though there were some strangers currently around her. Eric's father steps up to Rayn to greet her but is prevented by Arka. Those people should keep their distance from Rayn. However, they should not know the condition of Rayn who has Hephephobia.

"I don't want to make small talk, straight to the point. What's the reason you're so eager to meet me?" rayn asked as if he didn't know.

"I want to apologize to you for the contempt of my eldest son" Eric's father bowed.

"Why do you apologize when someone else has to. And also why do you apologize to me when someone is really hurt here." Rayn said.

Eric's father immediately pulled Eric and asked him to apologize for all the wrongs he had done. Eric's father then looked towards Lucia who was standing not far from Rayn.

"Lusia, that's you, right? you were Eric's friend at school. Lucia, uncle apologized for Eric's mistake. He was a stupid and very careless child" Eric's father told Lucia.

"Lussia.?.?..." - Rayn.

"What did you just call it by name?" continue to ask Rayn to Eric's father in a firm voice.

Rayn extended her hand to Lucia, asking Lucia to come closer and come to her. Lucy approaches Rayn and stands right next to Rayn. Rayn wrapped her one hand around Lusia's waist as if to firmly indicate that she was her woman.

"This woman.." asked Rayn's father in doubt.

"She's my wife" Rayn said.

Hearing this, Eric's father apologized for not knowing so he called him by name. "I'm sorry Mr. Rayn and Mrs Lucia. Forgive my sassy attitude just now" he said.

"If not for the generosity of my wife, I would never have allowed NK Group to re-establish a business relationship with your company. Because I don't like your son very much. And also you don't need to know what kind of business and what kind of relationship I have with NK Group. There Mr. Mark, the NK Group representative and his team will complete the cooperation."

"Thank you for your generosity Ms. Lucia" Eric's father said after hearing that his company was safe because of Lucia.

Rayn took Lucia by the hand and invited her to leave the room. Mr. Mark and his team bow in salute to Rayn and Lucia. Eric and Eric did the same thing by saying thank you.

After the cooperation contract was completed, NK Group representatives left the room. Now it's just Eric and his dad.

"Did you really not know who her husband was before you acted?" eric's father shouted to Eric.

Eric could only bow down and ask his father for forgiveness. He admitted that he really did not know if Lucia's husband had a big influence and held high power because he could control NK Group to withdraw shares.

"Plakkkk!!!"

Loud slap on Eric's father. "You didn't just destroy my company, you embarrassed me for begging. You useless child!!!"

"Dad, dad, forgive Eric" Eric kowtowed and continued to beg.

"Sorry..? I'm gonna send you overseas and not come back until you're needed" Eric's father said, leaving his son.

The incident was witnessed by Rayn through the tablet screen in his hand because Arka had set the cctv there. "Done everything" Rayn orders Arka who is currently driving for her and Lucia.

Rayn put down her tablet and held onto the hand of Lucia who was sitting right next to her. Lucia could only be silent at what Rayn had done. As if it had been a long and difficult time, Rayn rested her head on Lucia's shoulder. "Are you angry?" tanyanya.

Lucia also returned Rayn's hand by holding it. One hand reached over to Rayn's shoulder and patted her slowly. "I was surprised, but how could I be angry. I'm so happy and proud of you Rayn for protecting me. I want to show the world how great my husband is" Lucia comforted Rayn.
