Oh My Saviors

Chapter 35: Drunk

From day to day, Khanza's departure makes Nic's behavior change, he is more often angry and his work is not done, eating irregularly sometimes he drinks in his office until home late at night.

Now Nic is in the family room at his family residence, he looks not because the smell of alcohol smells thick when he talks. He looked down at the floor, right now he was in the courtroom where his father was the judge and his mother was the lawyer.

"Look at this stupid kid, just a few days without Khanza all his work is ruined, what do you want to be Nic. Even you scolded all the workers, many complained about you to Daddy and Om Ken. I know Khanza's departure has an effect on your mind, but this is not how a man acts when his heart is disturbed." Richard said at length.

"Prophe Richard, Khanza hasn't been found it's heard me too, what else Nic. They've been together since childhood, so this has had a big impact on Nic's heart." Sehelia touching Richard's arm gave him a tranquillization.

"I know, but if he continues like this the company will be threatened no matter the position, many want my current position Shelia, my only child she is, she's my last hope. If he can't even live up to my expectations, just be prepared to relinquish the leadership position within the Group." Richard went from the sopa to the top floor with a flat face.

Shelia approached and touched Nic's shoulder, Nic's vision was flat, he stared blankly at the floor he was on, "Nic, mom understands how you feel, he looks at the floor, but even Khanza will be disappointed to see your attitude like this, be the man Nic can be proud of. When Khanza comes back, he'll look at you with a proud look."

"Have Mami, I'll try to live up to Daddy's expectations, Mami don't have to worry. Lately the work pressure is too much, that's why my attitude has changed a little, and regarding me drinking in the office it's just a form of stress relief, the rest I'm fine, the rest I'm fine, even without Khanza. I'll fix my mistake." Nic moved with slightly shaky steps, he returned to his room.

Nic threw himself on the bed, the ringing of the phone made his mouth crackle a little. He raised the flat object without looking at it, [Honey] the voice from there sounded excited.

[Did you miss me? I've come back from abroad] he said still in the same tone.

"Hem." Nic replied, while massaging his forehead that felt dizzy.

[Tomorrow the night accompany me to the awards show yes, I was nominated for the best model again] Cherry said enthusiastically.

"All right, I'll pick you up at 7 p.m."

[Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow night. I love you, muach] Cherry ended the call. Nic sighed softly, though his heart was reluctant he had to keep going.

Elsewhere, at the same hour and at the same time. Cherry ended her phone call, as she used to sit on the lap of a man she called Master One, she herself had no idea what the real name of this middle-aged man was.

"Well as you wish sir" Cherry said, she could not fight as if a rope had been around her neck, if she had fought a little, it would have strangled her to death.

'I'm sorry Nic, I don't feel sorry for you but I feel sorry for myself. What I have right now is not easy to get, I don't want to lose everything else my life.'

The next day as promised, Nic picked up Cherry at her house, she looked elegant in a long red dress, without a string on the top, the shirt was so sleeveless, it looked so, his hair appears in a bun with a beautiful decoration on the side, while several strands of hair appear he let down from each of his pelips.

"How do I look?" ask Cherry after she closes the car door.

"Pretty." Nic answered without looking.

Cherry frowned, Nic's spontaneous answer without turning to make him dissatisfied, but he would compromise for tonight, lest the plan he had arranged fall apart because of his ego.

The car stopped in a luxurious building, there was already a lot of people and journalists who were always on standby with cameras in their hands. Counted twice Nic accompanied Cherry to events like this, but she still did not like the camera that just kept on shooting at her, the blinding light coming out of the object also makes Nic sore eyes, annoying, what else when they throw a question that besipik personal, what else, sometimes it makes Nic want to curse those who he thinks are too much to interfere with other people's personal problems.

"Let's go!" Cherry wrapped her hands around Nic's arms, the man remained silent and complied. Nic walks in with a look down, as usual almost all reporters throw annoying questions, and Nic lets the expert answer. After the photo session and completing some formalities they entered the building and sat in the place that has been provided.

Event after event has passed. Honestly Nic was bored, moreover there was no one Nic knew in this place. After the event is finished they are directed to the party venue which is still the same building as the venue of the event. Many congratulated Cherry for winning the best model award this year, which of course was greeted enthusiastically by the woman did not forget they took pictures together and Cherry's arm did not want to come off always hooked on Nic's arm.

"Cherry, I'm thirsty" Nic muttered in Cherry's earlobe, actually it's just an excuse to get away from the shade.

"Oh, then go, I still have an interview here." Cherry smiled and took off her arm that was hooked on Nic's arm.

Nic quickly leaves Cherry, who is still in the press, at first glance he also hears the reporter asking about himself to Cherry, but he does not care if Nic goes straight from there and approaches the drink table, but he does not care, he picked up a glass of alcohol, he did not want to get drunk in front of many people and made his name more polluted.

However, after a while, he felt a dizzy feeling in his head, his gaze seemed to rotate, several times Nic shook his head hoping that his gaze would return to how it was, but the longer it was just that his consciousness was getting lost. Faintly he saw a man coming towards him, it seems to be David, at least Nic a little calm if the one who came approaching was David, in the next second Nic lost consciousness.
