Mystery of Raven's Love Breaker

Tracy Surrender As Raven Card to Kyle

Chapter 8.

Kyle stepped into the cafe. His eyes swept to every corner of the cafe, looking around for someone he would meet tonight. But the person who made the promise with him just now was not seen either. The clock in his hand shows eight past ten minutes. It was ten minutes late from the promised time.

Kyle walked to one of the corners of the cafe and picked an empty table. There were a lot of visitors at the cafe tonight. While waiting, Kyle took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and lit it. A waiter came and Kyle ordered a warm cup of coffee and a glass of orange ice.

Kyle just drove Claire home earlier, right out of the office. Kyle was then allowed to go back to his own house to take a bath and rest. But her phone rang and upon being picked up, it turned out to be from Tracy.

“Kyle, are you home?” ask Tracy.

“Iya, why?” reply Kyle while occupying the sofa in the living room. He was getting ready to read a newspaper.

“You can come out to see me in a minute?”

“What's wrong?” kyle asked, flipping through the newspaper.

“There's something I want to show you. Something that will definitely interest you.”

“Hmm..., if it hits you, nothing else can interest me,” Kyle refused.

“It's not about me, Kyle,” tell Tracy. “But this is about Mr. Raven.”

“Raven?” Kyle mentioned that name. He remembered Claire. If this was about Mr. Raven, Claire would want to know too, he thought.

“Iya. Turns out Mr. Raven wasn't as good as I thought, Kyle. During the week I worked with him, I thought he was a polite man and didn't mess around. Because he rarely talks to me unless there's a need to do a job. But my findings today took me quite by surprise and my views instantly changed against him.”

“Ohya?” Kyle's interested. “So, what's that finding?”

“We'd better meet in a minute. I'm getting ready to go. In half an hour we meet at Cafe R, okay?”

Kyle glanced at the clock in the living room, at half-eight p.m. That means at eight he and Tracy will meet at Cafe R.

“Alright then,” break up Kyle.

It was a recording of their conversation on a cell phone. If Tracy had told him to meet just to talk, Kyle would not have wanted to, because he had no feelings for her anymore. But it has to do with Raven, and everything about Raven always Claire wanted to know, she thought.

The cigarette in Kyle's hand was almost gone when the person he was waiting for appeared. He walked towards Kyle's desk after seeing Kyle there.

“Hai..!” Tracy took a seat in front of Kyle. The table was rectangular in size, enough to fit four people.

“You're late,” Kyle said as he turned his cigarette butt off to the ashtray.

“Iya, little,” replied Tracy then immediately sipped an iced orange drink in front of her. “This is for me right?” tanyakanya.

Kyle did not answer. In a curious tone he asked back, “Now, where are your findings? You said about Mr Raven, right?”

“Ah, patient dong,” Tracy pulled something out from inside her handbag. “This is it!” He handed the thing he took to Kyle, who turned out to be a photograph.

Kyle noticed the photo, and his forehead immediately wrinkled.

“It was Mr Raven lying down right?” Tracy smiled.

“Look, it looks cool and macho with bare chest like that. Moreover, he did not know that he was being photographed secretly. Notice his slumbering face, and also the large picture frame on the wall, behind the bed he was sleeping on. In the frame is a photo of a very sexy and beautiful woman. You know who that lady posing that flirtatious?”

Kyle sighed, “He is Rachel, the secretary to Mr. Raven you replaced,” she said slowly.

“So, the woman in the picture frame is Rachel?” ask Tracy not to believe it.

“You mean, Mr Raven spent the night with his secretary?”

“This is what this photo describes,” Kyle said. “As soon as I saw it, I immediately knew that the man in this photo was lying on the bed of a woman who was the owner of this house. Claire once took me for a look inside Raven's room when I visited her house. Raven was in the office. And I remember very well in Raven's room there wasn't a big picture frame of a woman like this. This isn't Raven's room either. The order of her room is the order of a woman's room,” Kyle speaks for himself.

“Revealed your mind is just like me!” said Tracy. “At first I had a little doubt, whose room is this? But after hearing your explanation, I found out that this was Rachel's room, and Mr. Raven was with her. Cleverly he was polite towards me and also towards every female client we met at every meeting, as if he was a nice guy as well as cold towards women. But as it turns out, Mr. Raven also wants to have fun. “Why did he never take me? I think I would be very happy if I could be with this brave and handsome man one night only.”.

Kyle sneered, and Tracy bowed in embarrassment, hiding the hue of her blushing face.

“Oh, this photo is tucked between files that are no longer used by Rachel. When I cleaned Rachel's desk drawer in the office earlier, this photo accidentally fell to the floor. I picked it up, and looked at it in wonder and curiosity. At first I didn't really understand what this photo meant. But after thinking about it for a long time, I only ventured to guess. This is a photo of Mr. Raven's affair.” (If Mr Raven was having an affair, who would he betray? Don't you think he has a girlfriend or wife?)

Tracy looked at the photo again and smiled wryly.

“I asked for this photo huh?” Kyle took the photo from Tracy's hand. “I'll show Claire later, and she'll be surprised to see it.”

“What's in it for you?” ask Tracy.

Kyle did not answer.

“Oh, I know,” Tracy tried to guess. “You want the relationship between Miss Claire and Mr Raven to be bad because of this photo, right?”

Kyle smiled faintly. Tracy was good at guessing. Inhaled his warm coffee lying on the table while watching the photo. Raven's ace is in his hand now. Imagine how Claire would react when she saw this photo? Means all his bad prejudices against Raven these days will be proven.

“If their relationship becomes bad, it means it is profitable for you?” Tracy guessed she wanted to know.

Kyle's smile disappeared. “Miss Claire always thought Mr. Raven was the best man in the world,” she said in a slightly jealous tone. With a long sigh he continued, “Actually, after such a long time accompanying Miss Claire, I could feel that Miss Claire harbored a deep feeling towards Mr. Raven. But for some reason, she did not dare to reveal it, whereas if possible, Miss Claire could ask Mr. Raven to marry her. Mr. Raven will definitely not refuse, as I'm sure Mr. Raven likes Miss Claire too. While reviewing her room, I saw in Mr. Raven's room that there was no other photo of the woman other than the photo of Miss Claire as a teenager. And a picture of the two of them hugging. So I'm sure Miss Claire must be a woman who means a lot to her. That is, they both like each other but none of them dare to be frank first.”

“Then, why did Mr Raven do this?” Tracy pointed at the photo.

“I don't know either,” Kyle shrugged.

“Do you like Miss Claire?” ask Tracy suddenly.

“Why do you think so?” reply Kyle quickly. His heart felt thumped asked like that.

Tracy smiled blandly. “For a week working at the hotel and every day meeting you who always accompany Miss Claire faithfully, wherever she goes. And seeing the way you treat him, your attitude, your gestures every time you're with him, it all shows a sense that you're paying attention and caring about him. You accompanied him not because you were doing your duty, but more than that. I can see it with my heart's eyes. Correct this word of mine?” flocked Tracy.

Kyle feels his feelings were taken apart by Tracy. His feelings of affection for Claire, which he had always kept carefully in the space of his heart. Until now he still did not dare to reveal it, afraid that the girl would reject him. Even if the girl was angry and did not hire him as his personal assistant, then he would have lost the girl he loved.

“Miss Claire couldn't possibly open her heart to me, because the only man she had in her heart was Mr. Raven,” Kyle complained. His chest was cramped by the jealousy and anger raging there.

“He's really lucky,” Tracy said in an envious tone. His face showed displeasure. “Love by a man like Mr. Raven, and now you love him too. Plus he has everything. The abundant wealth inherited from his father, the highest position in the company, the respect of all his employees, and also the attention of all people. But above all, he is loved at once by two men like you, namely you and Mr. Raven.”

“Love can indeed come anytime, Tracy,” Kyle said. “Also cannot be forced. So I want Claire to someday be able to repay my love, not because of force, but because she can already realize my presence on her side.”

“You don't expect too much, Kyle!”

tracy's advice. “I don't think Miss Claire is right for you. Besides, later you will be disappointed yourself for expecting too much.”

Tracy looked at Kyle seriously, and suddenly her hand moved forward touching Kyle's hand that was on the table.

"On this occasion, I'd like to speak frankly to you, Kyle. It turns out that I still love you. I can't forget you nor can I accept your actions just running away from me. But now we finally meet again by accident, Kyle. So don't waste this opportunity. How about we go back to our beautiful days like our time abroad? You're willing, aren't you, Kyle, to take me back?” Tracy asked expectantly.

“No, Tracy,” Kyle pulled his hand, releasing it from Tracy's grasp. “I can no longer return to you,” he said. “I have no feelings for you anymore. Didn't I tell you that I thought you weren't right for me, and we agreed to split up, right?”

“But I never agreed, Kyle, with your verdict. You deliberately ran away from me, and you chose to return to this land. Actually when I found out you were back in this country, I wanted to catch up with you soon. But because I am still under contract with our company first, then I have to finish my contract first. And now that you're in front of me, I have to let go of you again?”

“I've said many times, Tracy, I can't go back to you!”

Kyle got up from his seat in a huff. “If it wasn't for something important about Mr. Raven that you wanted to tell me earlier, I wouldn't have made an appointment with you. I'm sorry I met you today. You dream too much!”

Kyle walked out of the cafe. Hastily steps. He wanted to leave Tracy who rushed after him.

“Kyle, Kyle, wait!” Tracy tries to hold Kyle's arm running in front of her, but Kyle flicks his hand violently. Seeing Kyle's attitude, Tracy changed emotions.

“You will regret Kyle, with your words earlier! I really can't hurt you. But remember that girl who took your heart from me! Take care of it as best you can!” said fiery.

Kyle was stunned to hear Tracy's words. Before he asked what Tracy meant by saying so, the girl had already gone ahead of him, with half-run steps.
