CHAPTER 53 - Baby Giant Baby Sister (3rd Mission Part 2 )
Lucia greeted Vhia as well as ordered a drink. “Hai Vhia, 2 Ice Americano and 1 Orange Juice”.
“I don't want Ice Americano. I... want something sweeter today” said Rayn by looking at the menu.
"Aren't you just going to drink Ice Americano?” ask Lucia. Lucia knows very well, if Ryan's coffee will only drink Ice Americano and if it's about juice he will only drink without sugar.
“I really like Ice Americano but that does not mean I do not like others. I just wanted to enjoy something that was describing my heart's current feelings, so could you choose something sweet for me?” Rayn asked with a sweet smile to Lucia.
“Hah, What's with her smile it” murmured Lucia inwardly with a nyinyir smile.
“And what? Something sweet? What is he planning?" continue in the heart.
It seemed obvious that it was Rayn's smile that he had deliberately forced. Lucia knows very well that Rayn doesn't like anything very sweet.
Lucia finally ordered 1 Caramel Macchiato for Ryan and 1 Ice Americano for Arka. la then opened the bag to pay. However, Rayn held onto Lucia's hand and immediately gave her purse to Lucia. Lucia frowned as if asking what for.
"Why did you pay for it while today I asked you to go for me in a special way" Ryan said again with a sweet smile that could thrill.
Lucia further rounded her eyes to Rayn's ravings. He knew what Ryan said was true, but it was exaggerated and the cutout of Rayn's word was easily misunderstood.
"Which card??" ask Lucia.
"You are free to choose it" Rayn replied briefly still with a smile as if lovingly.
Lucia did not want to ask anymore because she did not want to make Rayn act more. He quickly took one of the cards randomly and gave it to Vhia.
Rayn immediately brought her face closer and whispered her card pin to Lucia. This attitude is increasingly rowdy visitors because they feel envious. Lucia quickly pressed the pin.
"Unbelievable, you've even got control of his wallet” Vhia told Lucia in front of Rayn.
Hearing Vhia's innuendo that seems to say that if Lusia looks like a realistic girl, Ryan is acting up. He came closer and whispered in Lucia's ear. "No need to strain, relax.." whispered.
Rayn looked back at Lucia, raising the edge of the tip of her jacket to cover the base of her left hand. With a gentle touch, he slowly began to wipe the sweat on Lucia's forehead. "What makes you nervous to the point of sweating like this" he said with an attentive smile.
"Oh.. look, look, look, romantic he is" rowdy visitors who saw one hand Ryan holding Lusia and one hand rubbing Lusia's forehead.
Lucia could only be silent like a statue. After the order was ready, Lucia quickly picked up her order and went to sit down.
“Why are they staring as if we're a pair of celebrities” asked Ryan to let go of Lucia's hand and sit opposite Lucia.
“Something I don't want to say but it's a fact I have to answer. It's because your face is too handsome and your height posture is too charming. and" Lucia stopped her speech then grabbed her drink and sipped her quickly.
“What is this face including special in their eyes?” ask Rayn again.
“Of course, who wouldn't melt seeing that handsome face of yours. Starting from the eyebrows, eyes, nose and even lips, everything looks perfect" said Lucia. Rayn simply smiled looking at Lucia who mentioned every part of her face.
"Aren't you aware of that?" ask Lucia.
“Of course I know" replied Ryan.
"Haha, you know" Lucia said with a mocking laugh. "Then why are you still asking so plainly?” continued with an annoyed face expression.
“For you to say. I just want to hear about eyebrows, eyes, nose, even lips that all look perfect it said from your lips” replied Rayn smiling. Lusia gave a short snort in disbelief, with a sharp gaze he broke the block of ice cubes in his mouth violently.
"Why are more women visiting?" asked Rayn to look around.
"They actually came here instead of drinking coffee but because of the high-value Artifacts we have" Lucia replied staring at Kelvin.
"Seeing them turn to look at me, what does it mean that I'm more attractive than that guy now?" ryan asked with a suspicious smile.
“What else do you want to hear from my lips this time? You already know the answer but still ask" Lucia replied.
“So you think it's like that too? It means you also admit that I'm more attractive than him?” ask Ryan. He seemed content to tease Lucia with his joke.
“Of course not...! I have eyes with different tastes, of course Kelvin is better than you for idolatry. I've always been her no 1 fan. Don't you see the perfection and see how he brews coffee.. Oh. very charming" murmured Lucia looked at Kelvin with a look and smile that he deliberately made to avenge Ryan. Rayn began to look upset in accordance with the reaction that Lusia expected.
"Why don't you drink it?” lucy asked to see Ryan ignoring the drink. Ryan would not drink it. "Just wasting money" continued Lucia's grumble.
"Who is throwing money away? Arka sit down and take it. I also ordered it for you” orders Rayn to cross her arms while looking at Lucia.
Arka just sighed, He knew that in the end he had to be the victim. How could he drink 2 glasses at a time. The Ice Americano that Lucia had ordered for her was still untouched.

Time is about to enter Lucia's working hours. "I'll pick you up later" Rayn said as she stood up from her seat.
“Don't worry, I'll take him home" Kelvin said from behind, approaching Rayn and Lucia.
Rayn suddenly took a step closer to Lucia and immediately clasped her hand. Seeing Kelvin's reaction getting sharper looking at the movement of his hand that held onto Lucia, Ryan just got tighter and tighter.
“Why do you have to drive him? Are you a boss who has always been this good with your employees? Do you also always drive all your other employees home one by one?” rayn asked indirectly insinuating Kelvin who seemed to have other intentions.
With a sardonic smile Kelvin replied. “Of course not, Lucia is not just my employee, but there is another closeness between me and her that makes her more special" he replied.
Kelvin asked Ryan. "Then you're alone, why pick her up? Are you a boss who always spoils your staff? Are you sure you have no other intentions.” Shoot Kelvin without getting stale to Ryan.
Rayn smiled cynically. “Of course not, do you think he's just an ordinary staff that I treat the same as everyone else?" rayn asked Kelvin.
"Of course something special has tied us up" Ryan continued, raising his hand and showing that closeness from the grasp of their hands.
"Allowed Lusia?” rayn asked Lucia with a smile that was so sweet.
“Haisttt,, this guy, it feels like I want to stuff his mouth. Has she ever been to acting school? Very clever to make drama” murmured Lucia in the heart.
Lucia closed her eyes for a moment letting go of the tiredness of the attitude of the two. He cannot blame the words of Kelvin where the closeness that Kelvin says is their friendship.
Lucy couldn't dodge Rayn's question either. Because this is also like a trap for him where it is clear Rayn knows if he will not let go of his hand.
Lucia opened her eyes after taking a deep breath. “Yes, something special between us like. being the baby sister of a giant baby” Lucia replied with a big smile to Ryan.
"Well, I'll take a minute to drive him to the car. Arka come..” invite Lucia to bow to Kelvin and take Rayn out.
“Bay...?” rayn asked with an annoyed look. Arka followed the two with 2 cups of coffee in her hand. He smiled amusedly at Lucia's reply.
After leaving the cafe, Ryan stopped taking Lusia's steps and wanted to make sure what he heard. "Are you serious about what you said?" ask Rayn.
"Ha.haha" then how should I call it" Lucia replied with an awkward laugh.
Lucia tried to shift Rayn's question. "You need coffee?" continued to ask Lucia by taking Ice Americano from Arka's hand and he gave it to Ryan. "That's because you just kept bullying, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Otherwise, why do you keep acting so strange" continued Lucia.
Ryan turned to look into the cafe, seeing Kelvin still staring at himself and Lucia. Rayn smiled and whispered to Lucia. "Because I like it" whispered Rayn then stroked Lucia's head and left.
"Rayn.." shouted Lusia in response to Ryan's attitude that increasingly made people think wrong. Ryan ignored him, he continued walking with a satisfied smile towards the car.
Arriving in the car he turned to look at Lucia who was still staring at his car. "Can I run Rayn's car?" ask Arka.
" Run the car, we go back to the Villa. Make sure you pick him up on time, don't make him wait" Rayn ordered.
"Aren't you coming to pick him up later Young Master Ryan?" ask Arka.
"No, he looks very uncomfortable. And I don't want to make her mood worse" Rayn replied.
Arka runs her car, Rayn staring at the Ice Americano glass in her hand. "What am I doing? Why do I feel jealous" he said with a faint smile and sipped his coffee.
At the Cafe,
"It looks like someone lost step” said Dave by cleaning the table next to Kelvin who was still standing staring at Lucia and Ryan out.
“What are you doing? Your job as a barista is not to clean table” Kelvin commands with a high tone and an annoyed look. He then went to the kitchen and went up to the 2nd floor of his private room.
"It's not okay for anyone to clean the table” replied Dave.
Not long after Lucia came in and Dave went straight to her. "Sir Lucia" call Dave.
"Don't ask anything. a.pa.pun OK" replied Lucia by covering her ears and directly walking straight into the dressing room.
"Dave.." call Grace and the other staff who want to ask the same question as what Dave wants to ask Lucia.
"Don't ask anything. a.pa.pun OK" said Dave mimicking Lucia's style, he continued walking into the kitchen with a tray of dirty glasses in his hand.
"You are too much of a scene" Vhia slylyly looked at the other staff who were still whispering to each other.
There was no answer from the drama that had just happened before their eyes. Who is the man who came with Lucia and what is the relationship between the two. Yes, it is still an unanswered question for the cafe staff.
