SENSITIVE LOVE

37

Steven really forced Clara to take care of him like a baby. His childish nature deliberately he took out when dealing with Clara. Seeing the various reactions on the girl's face was a pleasure in itself for her.

As of right now, Clara was still as stiff as she had been this morning when Steven told her to take off her top clothes. His eyes were even closed when Steven's shirt buttons were open.

Nosily Steven took off his own shirt and tied it to Clara's neck, making the girl flinch and reflexively open her eyes.

Because of his height which was only Steven's neck, automatically his eyes immediately turned to his bare chest. Clara held her breath and was about to turn around, but again the nosy Steven was holding her shoulder instead.

"What the hell!" clara shouted with an annoyed face.

"You should get used to seeing me in a shirt, later after marriage so it's not awkward anymore."

"Who wants to marry you!" resounding.

"You are who else. You're the only one I want to marry. Well, now get me down for my dinner!"

Steven turned Clara around and pushed her slowly towards the door. His dirty clothes he took back and threw himself in the basket. Laughing like crazy in the shower. He even hummed a little, something he never did.

.

The next morning, Clara returned to cooking in the morning. Like yesterday, he was also still being taught by Willy. The old chef even patiently taught him. He can only cook standard dishes while Steven is a picky man who often ignores eating schedules.

Steven walked casually towards the dining table. The entire waiter in the kitchen was already lined up to greet him. Respect before continuing work.

Clara made fish soup this morning on Willy's instructions. Laying the results of his cooking nervously because this was the first time he cooked for Steven. Yesterday Clara got a protest from Steven, saying her food was not worth eating, but she still finished it. So now he is worried if the results become bad again. Repeatedly he turned to Willy with a worried face. Willy gave her a friendly smile to calm her down.

"What else? bribe me!"

"Oh...Hm...Ok," Clara was nervous all of a sudden because she had been focusing more on the results of her cooking.

Clara sat down next to him and began to feed him. Steven made no comment. No praise or criticism. So everyone wonders, is the food edible?

"Will, what about the ticket?"

"Hour 09:00 this morning sir," replied Willi.

"You're leaving again?" ask Clara. Steven glanced at him for a moment before drinking his water.

"Yes, that's 2 hours from now. Get ready we'll stop by the company first" he said in formal language.

Steven wiped his mouth. He didn't finish his cooking. Seems rushed. Clara followed him behind, intending to drive him forward like other servants and bodyguards.

When Steven got in the car, he rolled down the window and looked at Clara. Giving a look that confused Clara.

"You are also coming with Miss" said her personal plan.

"Hurry in or do I need to carry you?"

In a hurry and bewildered, Clara came in and sat down beside him. Looking at Steven for an explanation.

" Do I have to take you to the airport as well?"

"Who said just drop off, you forgot your assignment?"

"Whatchu mean? do I have to come..."

Clara did not continue as she looked at what was attached to her body. Home clothing with feather flip flops. Then glance at Steven's formal attire. He just cursed in his heart. Wants to curse but remembers his debt.

Arriving in front of the lobby of the company building, Yuno was already waiting with several section heads and special staff. Welcoming the owner.

Steven was down but not up, as if waiting for something. So everyone exchanged confused looks. Steven leaned over, opened the door next to Clara, staring at the girl half-amused and anxious at once. Steven was intentionally trying. Look how cute Clara's face is that scowls and certainly scolds her in heart.

"Come out, need me to carry?"

"I'll wait here for you" replied Clara.

"Down or I'll really__"

"Steve's! i'm ashamed!"

Steven held out both hands. Lifting Clara so casually that the girl screamed. Not only Clara, everyone was surprised to see Steven holding Clara like a toddler clinging to her like a koala child. Clara forced to drown her face in the recesses of Steven's neck. His face was already flushed with embarrassment.

"Crazy basic! Crazy steven! so crazy!" knock Clara with a muffled voice.

He tightened his arms as Steven playfully let go of one of his hands.

Steven did hold brief meetings with shareholders and directors of each division of his company. Listen to their reports before you go to the airport. He raises himself only to show existence while assessing the performance of all people who have been under the leadership of Yuno.

The problem is that the atmosphere becomes very awkward because Steven is still holding Clara and when sitting, Clara is on his lap.

"Bless your head, there's an old friend of yours here." whispered Steven.

Clara looked up, looking back, her hair was even scattered on her face. It was exactly like the SD kid who had just cried, so messed up.

"Sir Sindy?" mumbling slowly.

Both of their eyes met but Sindy just stared at him flatly. It was as if he was facing an enemy. The confused Clara looked up at Steven. Unfortunately Steven distracted her, as if intentionally doing so.

"Start,"

As the meeting began, Clara sat down restlessly. He wanted to go down but it would be more embarrassing for him with the clothes he was wearing.

for about 40 minutes, the meeting was over. Everyone came out after the supreme leader came out. Willi waited outside and escorted them as usual.

"Can I see Sindy for a minute?"

"There's no time" Steven replied briefly.

Clara asked for it because she saw Sindy staring at them at the door as they began to move away. Clara smiled at him and waved a greeting, but Sindy just put on her flat face. That certainly bothered him, there was a big question mark on his head. As long as they didn't meet, did anything happen?

The change in attitude of the woman he had considered her brother kept circling in his head. When Steven put them back in the seat next to him, he realized they were already in the car.

"Where's the stuff I asked for?"

Willi handed Steven a paper bag as he sat on the steering wheel. Steven took out the contents and put them into the body of Clara who was sitting back next to him.

"Why give me a coat this thick?"

"In America it's winter,"

"Wait, will you take me there?"

"Why? Didn't I just say?"

"But.but my shop.." - Clara.

"I've sold it" Steven replied casually.

Clara glared at him, already preparing to let out a scathing word as an outburst of anger before Steven's hand made her silent. Her big hands tidied Clara's messy hair. Comb it with a finger and then justify the hair tie. Who would not be wrong to be treated so sweetly?

"I'm kidding, I've given it to my people to take care of it, just calm down. You still speak English, right? from now on get used to me."

"I'm just at home." Clara's voice swallowed at the end because of the wrong behavior of Steven's intense gaze.

The man smiled 'making him willingly to be by my side in this way isn't bad either' his monologue.

"Will you just stay home?"

Clara glanced at a glance, rotating her eyes when she saw that nosy smile.

"Don't think about playing me!"

"No doubt" he said in a nosy tone, Clara squinted her eyes again. He wanted to joke at all. Their relationship is not that good to laugh at each other, that's what's in his head.

They arrived at the airport on time. Clara's appearance and her presence at the airport with Steven attracted considerable attention. Some cameras even capture them. In addition to the name, the charm of Steven does not need to doubt.

Sindy sat down at her father's desk. He fell down and almost cried. Shards of glass from glass slammed into the floor scattered beside him. The father looked at him coldly.

"I used to agree to your request because his grandfather was still at our level. Now you're asking for your match again? are you stupid? Mr. Kim is more worthy of your pursuit than that useless boy!"

Sindy looked up, her eyes already glazed over.

"Ma ... Steven already has Clara, he doesn't live in Indonesia anymore, after all he will never be interested in Sindy!" press Sindy in despair.

Sindy is his second child. His elder brother acting as a successor could not make Yuno help them let alone Steven. Although they are bound by cooperation and one of the shareholders, it does not make them able to overcome the financial problems of the company that is chaotic. Their losses even affected Steven's company. Therefore Steven has confirmed that he will cut cooperation after the contract ends. It was certainly not wanted by Sindy's father. If that happens, they will go bankrupt.

Sindy obviously still loves Aldo very much. But ever since Steven comes to the fore and Aldo's grandfather is crushed by his mistaken ambition of choosing a victim of greed, Sindy is forced to approach Steven. Unfortunately in this year, he met Steven twice but the man did not take a glance at him at all. He didn't even touch all the gifts he gave. What else should it be?

"What are you daydreaming about? how to conquer Steven?"

Sindy flinched and reflexively looked up. Aldo stood before him with a cup of coffee in his hand. It seems he just got out of his college.

Sindy and Aldo are different universities. The cafe where they sit today is indeed a place they often visit first with others.

"Please sit down, I'll go."

"No need, I'm also in a hurry" Aldo replied quickly. "From getting close to Steven and definitely ending up a failure, why don't you seduce the current CEO? he's Steven's confidant, isn't he?" continued Aldo.

Sindy obviously felt humiliated, but she realized what she was doing was indeed a lowly way. To seduce company owners to help them is not a professional thing. But not a new thing as well, many business women who do use themselves as persuasion materials.

"Aren't you going to be happy if I separate them?"

Aldo who was about to step up now completely turned around, sat down and stared at Sindy flatly.

Aldo smiled cynically, "What qualifications make you feel you can? You or I are nobody to create a cunning riot between them. Besides.I'd rather Clara be happy now."

Aldo got up and left. Leaving Sindy with all her words that made the woman shed tears. Not because he is humbled, but will be indifferent to the man he loves. Aldo did change after his grandfather lost power. He was more calm as the beginning of knowing Clara. Especially since knowing that he would never be able to win against Steven.

"Then I will show you that I can destroy their relationship" he said. Pull the tissue on the table roughly and get out of there.

The hateful glint in his eyes was obvious. The aura of revenge for his wounded heart filled him at this moment. What will he plan?

.

Clara was still glued to the spot when she got out of the car. He couldn't define what kind of luxury Steven's ministry was here. Which is definitely much wider and seems more beautiful. Located in an elite area with neighbors who are very far because of the breadth of the yard. Because it is in the city area, unlike Indonesia which is surrounded by trees. The area is minimal with large trees. Only a flower garden and some not-so-high trees were there.

Clara felt her hands clasped. He looked up and found the charming smile of the owner of the house.

"Welcome to my house. Come on, I'll show you where my room is." said Steven, gently pulling Clara's hand in.

This house was not many residents, there were only ten servants lined up to greet them. They are all American and they are all American. Of course, this is only partly visible. In fact, this house has a lot of bodyguards on each side. Steven did it right when he decided to take Clara with him. Even the back and front doors are guarded by dobermanns at night.

"Your room is on the 4th floor."

Steven pressed the elevator and they went up to the 3rd floor. If Clara is not used to luxury in Steven's old ministry in Indonesia, maybe now he will gap wide. Steven has obviously juggled the 4th floor is far different from the other floors in his home.

"Likes? if you don't like it tomorrow I can change it to your taste. My life manager should be comfortable by my side."

Clara ignored Steven's rant. He removed the man's hand grip to observe the 3D painting on the wall. Walk to the edge of the pool on one side near the balcony. Then now his mouth was completely opened as he looked at the entire beauty on that floor from room to room. Steven actually decorated the entire wall with life-like nature paintings. Not to mention the paintings and beautiful flowers that Clara had never seen in Indonesia.

"How much did you spend on this floor alone? It's beautiful..it's beautiful."

Clara said it barely conscious. He just mumbled slowly. But because Steven followed where he was, of course he heard it.

"That's your room. Then the door next to it is my room."

Clara turned her head towards the direction Steven pointed out, walked over there and opened it. The room is not much different from the one in the old mansion, soft shades of blue and pink adorn the entire room. Only 2 times more.

"Get in and get some rest" Steven said.

"You want to go?" ask Clara, look at Steven's gig.

"I have an appointment with someone, go down to the kitchen if you are hungry. I won't let anyone go to this floor. If you need help, use the alarm in your room. It was connected to the lower floor where the servants and bodyguards were."

"They really can't come here? when you're sick or in danger?"

Steven smiled, "I never once filled this floor. I slept in another room. If there was danger, it was an exception, "She stepped closer to him, grabbed Clara by the waist and brought her lips closer to the girl. "Don't wander around on me. Even though this minister is in my power, I don't know when the intruder entered."

Steven tidied Clara's hair and put it behind her ear. Touching her chin softly, forced Clara to look up to see him.

"I'm taking you at risk, Clara. My world is not as comfortable and safe as it seems. So obey me, just trust me."

Clara goosebumps, her hair bristling because of the horror of Steven's voice while talking. Her aura was completely different from usual. He looks like someone else.

"La...then why did you bring me here in case of danger?"

With him Steven smiled slightly, he let go of Clara and took a step back. Clara felt her entire joints slowly relax. Dare to look into the eyes of the man before him.

"Because I need to see you" she replied.

"That's selfish, Steve! I have a life too. After my debt is paid back to Indonesia."

Steven could see the line of rage on his girl's face more and more. But not trying to defuse it.

"We'll see, if you're being nice I'll think."

"You!"

Clara could not continue. Steven turned around and left. End their discussions.

Surely Clara is tired, she is confused to face Steven who is often fickle. Sometimes he was very gentle and seemed to love her very much. Other times can immediately change and become a forger.

America is late even though they leave in the morning. Changes in time and weather made Clara more tired and stressed. He reluctantly entered his room. He wanted to change his clothes before he went back. Where he opened a door that he thought was an ordinary large closet, in fact it was a room full of women's clothing even with all the accessories and other supplies. This room was even wider than his own room.

'He built boutiques in this room, all with expensive brands. My debt is nothing compared to the contents of this place,'

Clara lamented her fate. He was like being bought by a rich old man to pay off his debt and spoiled with luxury goods in order to serve his master. Good thing, Steven is not an old man, instead an established young man with a million charms. The most important thing is that the man loves her even with all her bad qualities.

.

Clara walked up to the balcony, looking into the backyard of the mension. There are some people seen passing by. They were the guards on patrol.

From where he could also see, far to the right was a mension as well. Seen no less big and luxurious. Life as a kara at this time made him not have much hope even fear.

'Steven.you're different. You're clearly different. Why did you bring me here? this is not my place. I don't like it here. All foreign...'

Clara took a long breath. Turn around and walk towards the pool. Put his feet into the water in the air that was almost freezing.

"Huh?"

Clara only realized there were subtle fumes from the surface of the water when she felt the warmth in her legs. The thought of his death wanted to hurt himself, unfortunately what he got was even admiration again and again for the facilities of this place.

"I'm so stupid!" ogre.

Clara took off her clothes and put them by the pool. She was only wearing underwear because there was no one. Get into the pool and soak comfortably.

Long enough he was there, Clara even had time to swim and relax again by the pool. Unaware 5 minutes ago someone was staring at him in an awkwardly stiff position. Clara turned around, intending to end her soaking before her eyes bulged in surprise.

He quickly lowered his upper body to the neck to cover his body. Staring at the man who was now displaying a naughty sneer.

"I deliberately returned quickly to invite you to dinner, although it was a bit late of course because of the time difference. But you seem to prefer me eating alone, hm?" goda Steven's.

"Eat it alone, I'm not hungry! you can go now!"

Plain Clara certainly did not understand the meaning of her last sentence. Therefore he increasingly teased him by removing the suit and began unbuttoning his shirt.

"Dung..wait! why are you undressing?"

Steven smiled, "Aren't you the one who told me to eat fast, so I'll go down there and eat soon" he replied casually.

Clara's alarm finally sounded. He finally understood. His face that had been red for too long soaking was getting red.

"Essum! go there!"

Steven laughed amusedly. He had already opened the entire button but did not take it off. Deliberately walking to the edge of the pool approaching Clara.

"Pe..go! I'm getting dressed!" Clara did not dare to look at him anymore. He was nervous and scared.

"Be dressed, first,"

Clara was upset, Steven told her but didn't leave.

"Okay, you could pass out any longer, too,"

Steven's right, his legs are limp. He's hungry now, too. With all her embarrassment and fear, Clara climbed up quickly. Walking almost running.

"I must quickly marry her!" muttered Steven with a flushed face. Her eyes did not escape from Clara's body until the girl disappeared behind the door.

His heart had been pounding strong from the beginning. Her body feels hot, but chooses to tease Clara rather than avoid her. So now he is upset with self-pity that must be tired.
