SENSITIVE LOVE

49

Clara looked at Steven who was focusing on his laptop. Even in the middle of the sea with a swaying ship he could be that focused. Clara sat a few feet with him. Bored, Clara leaves him to go to the control room where Jun is.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" jun asked, surprised suddenly Clara was already beside him.

"Someone who brought me here is focused on the laptop, I'm bored." - Clara.

Jun laughed softly, no wonder because Steven was a hard worker. "She is a hard worker Miss, what else is she currently getting a big project. The possible cooperation after succeeding would raise his status."

"uh? Raise status?"

"Yes, at the level of business people there is a hierarchy level. Things that make them more valued and feared than others."

"I don't understand." said Clara, her tone indifferent. He did not really understand the world of the upper class and was never interested.

"What are you doing here? Asik with?"

The two turned their heads, Steven with his arms folded up on his chest standing leaning against the entrance. Since Clara left, Steven immediately lost focus, so he followed.

"When were you there?" ask Clara.

"Since you've been talking about me?" insinuations.

Clara rolled her eyeballs and focused again, ignoring Steven. Obviously the short wick guy seemed to be instantly annoyed. With long strides he stood between Clara and Jun. Makes Clara slide a few inches.

"What's so good here? come back and accompany me upstairs." take Steven.

"Go, I'm tired of seeing people who are just busy with inanimate objects. At least here I feel human because someone is talking." Clara refused with sarcasm.

"Hooh, so you're angry because I ignored you?" steven asked, bending over to bring his face closer to Clara. Teasing the girl who reflexively rewinds her head.

But the ship was suddenly shaken violently due to the high waves. It made Clara lose her balance and Steven quickly pulled her into his arms. While one hand held their fallen bodies face down.

"Master and Miss are you okay?" june asked as the ship stabilized. "I'm sorry for the sudden waves" he continued. Glanced at them with awkward faces and difficult to interpret expressions.

While Clara released herself with a face of surprise and shame. He stood up and looked for a grip so that the next one would not fall again. Steven himself stood beside her like that.

"Where are we really going?" ask Clara.

"Ahead, see? our goal is already in sight." replied Steven.

Clara gaped as their ship got closer and closer again. An island that looks uninhabited from afar turned out to be equipped with various water game arenas. There are some villas that are not too big but look very aesthetic. Unite with nature and if judged by one sentence. Clara said the island is very luxurious and beautiful. Some people were seen walking leisurely on the beach and some were sunbathing. Not too many, just a couple and a family.

When they came down, someone immediately greeted them and escorted them to an inn. The three people Steven had brought with them besides Jun and Carlos lifted two suitcases and put them in separate rooms.

"Why is there a suitcase?" clara asked in a suspicious tone as they looked at the contents of the room.

"This is your room, that's your suitcase with your clothes on." Steven replied casually.

Clara turned her gaze at Steven nonchalantly. "We're staying? you said I'll consult tomorrow."

"Sure, it should not be missed. So doctor Frans will be here tomorrow morning."

"You can't just tell Dr. Frans."

"Why not? he was protesting. I paid a lot anyway. If he doesn't want to change another doctor" Steven replied very smoothly. Making Clara grumble in my heart.

"It seems so easy with money huh? we can rule anyone at will." said Clara in a very clear tone of satire.

"Not everything can be with money. Brain genius is more useful than money Clara. And so is love, see? you still reject me even though I have a lot of money."

The mood immediately turned silent. It was so awkward that Clara cleared her throat slowly. Steven glanced at him, then exhaled softly. Twisted his body facing Clara and held her cheek next to her.

"When will your heart come back for me?" ask Steven slowly.

'My heart never goes Steve.' Clara replied inwardly. But he didn't want to say it. There was a great fear that made him choose silence.

"Did you ever like each other so long as we were apart?"

Clara looked up, then shook her head slowly. "No, but lately I'm thinking of someone" Clara replied in an ambiguous tone. Steven's forehead puckered for a moment.

"Who?" steven asked, his voice almost choked with his own fear. Even his genius brain doesn't work.

'You' again Clara answered him in her heart. 'I think of you who might get bored and leave after you get me Steve.'

Clara retreated and turned around. Walking out of the room left Steven glued to his place.

Arriving outside, Clara is surprised by Jun's presence at the door. I don't know when he's been standing there. Looking at it with painful sorrow.

"Jun..what's up?" clara was confused. It was not usually Jun's expression like that.

"The person in charge of this place told me that the place the master had booked was already prepared. You can go first with Carlos, I'll talk to you, Miss."

"uh? Oh... What's the talk?"

"About the company." Jun answered briefly, then passed it to go inside. Of course he lied. Jun only guessed something would happen so he told Clara to go first.

Clara looked at Carlos who also looked awkward. He let Clara follow him.

"Master?" greet Jun. "The place you rented is already set up."

"Cancel," said Steven. He was still standing at his place.

"But Miss has been brought there by Carlos..."

"Bring him back." cut Steven cold.

Steven turned around, looking at Jun with a terrifying highlight. Those sharp eyes emitted an incredible dark aura. Even Jun who used to face it to the point of feeling the tremors of fear in each side. But he managed to overcome it and still showed his calm face.

"Sir...? what's going on?" june was was. Those sharp eyes did not blink looking at him.

"Did you take it from me? The guy he said.that's you?" asked Steven in a sharp low voice.

"What...what do you mean, sir?" Jun doesn't even understand why Steven misunderstood her. Yes, he did hear their conversation earlier. But in her judgment, Clara simply avoids her feelings. So he doesn't answer who he means.

Steven went forward and clasped Jun's shirt collar firmly. Then with a lot of anger threw Jun's body to hit the side of the bed.

The bodyguards that were outside looked at Jun who was being pushed back in fear. Not understanding why his master was so angry that one of them ran after Carlos and Clara. Knowing his master could only be stopped by Clara because they did not want Jun to die. Anyone in the company knows what the relationship is like. Jun was the person Steven trusted the most besides Yuno.

.

Clara is confused why Carlos took her to a lake under a waterfall that is not too high. A place that looks very comfortable. There are swimsuit kits too. Around the lake there are many beautiful flowers.

Clara breathed in air that felt very cool and fresh. The trees are still very awake. Also a well-preserved ecosystem.

"This place is beautiful and clean. Carlos, what are__"

The two turned to look at someone who had just arrived after running. With a hunting breath he approached Clara and Carlos.

"Miss Steven is hitting mister Jun. I was worried.." The man had not yet finished his words, Clara ran swiftly following the path she had just walked back to the inn.

The distance is not too far, so within a few minutes of running Clara has arrived. Breaking through the two bodyguards standing in the doorway.

"STOP!" clara shouted as she was strong as she could. His eyes looked at Steven sharply after the man turned around.

Steven grinned and raised a bruised hand and there were blood stains, wanting to touch the girl's cheek. But Clara immediately dodged by retreating backwards. She started crying.

"Ke...why did you hit Jun?" his sobs. Then it passed towards the battered Jun. Help Jun to sit down.

Steven turned around, looking at Clara who was crying over her subordinates. His face was hardened but his eyes looked very sad. Steven clenched his hands, felt thousands of invisible needles piercing his heart, his anger almost bubbling as the girl he loved charged at the other man in front of him.

He turned and left. He tells anyone not to follow him. So the situation inside the house became very quiet. Only Clara's sobs slowly stopped. A bodyguard brought a medicine box. Give it to Carlos but Clara takes over. Carlos and another bodyguard pushed Jun out into his own room.

Jun had fainted. It seemed like Steven's punch wasn't messing around so a classmate Jun fainted from receiving his punch. Jun did not fend off or fight back. Because Jun knew, if he fought back then things would get more and more out of control. Unfortunately he does not know, that his decision to take a blow from Steven even makes Steven think that what he accused was justified by Jun.

"Miss, let me treat. I'm used to dealing with wounds like this." I asked Carlos to look at Clara's trembling hands while cleaning Jun's face.

"Rest in your room Miss" said Carlos again. But Clara shook her head.

"Will Jun be all right?" tanyakanya.

Carlos looked at him, "Miss..you don't worry about master?" ask Carlos. I don't know why his voice sounded a little angry. Clara didn't understand, so she just kept quiet.

"Miss Steven was also injured" he said. Looking at Clara who did not also understand, he sighed and continued to treat Jun.

"Sir Steven must have had a reason why he hit Jun. It's the first time I've seen him that angry" Carlos said. "I beg you to find Mr. Steven and treat his hand. Guards will accompany you." pinta Carlos.

Clara looks doubtful, Carlos understands Clara's trauma. He also did not have the heart, but if Clara remained on Jun's side at this time, it would only cause a greater misunderstanding.

Clara doesn't know where to find Steven. It was late afternoon and he did not know about the island. From his left, someone approached him. He confessed to one of the island guards and wanted to help because Clara looked confused.

"We're looking for Mr Steven, did you see him?"

Clara looked to the right, where the bodyguards following her were already standing beside her.

"I'm sorry, but I don't see. Is Mr Steven missing?"

"No, our lady just needs to talk to him. Thank you." Thank you." The guard smiled and nodded before leaving them. "Come Miss," the bodyguard asked, then walked by his side but within 2 meters.

Clara was tired, along the forest road, the waterfront even the place Carlos showed, Steven was nowhere to be seen. Finally Clara stopped by the beach, sitting in one of the lounge chairs. Look at a couple who are holding each other. They seem to want to enjoy the afternoon at sunset.

Someone put a bottle of cold water on her cheek. Clara jumped in shock and looked up. Seeing the towering body that was hit by the afternoon sun. The disheveled shirt and the flying hair were blown away by the wind. Steven looked extremely dazzling despite his cold face.

Clara took the bottle in silence. He was indeed thirsty and he did not hold any money at all. All this time he's always been at home or out with Jun. He wasn't holding a dollar bill when Steven suddenly took it. On the way to find Steven, he just thought about how stupid he was when he forced to come back. If Steven let him go then what would he go with? he has no money. But Clara was at that moment overwhelmed with fear, therefore she was currently feeling a complete fool.

"Why just stare at the bottle? is there something there?"

Clara looked, Steven still standing. Because there is only one chair. Glancing at the hands that still had dry blood there. His finger book was also bruised and injured.

"Your hands..."

"Why here? Your juni is dying, right? I hit him with all my might" said Steven flat. He did not turn his head, just staring at the ocean with his cold face.

"Where have you been? I'm looking for you." asked Clara, ignoring what Steven just said. Finally the man looked down to look at her. Clara got up and stood in front of him. " Why did you hit Jun? he's not wrong about anything."

Steven laughed cynically. Staring at Clara with a cold look. "I told him to take care of you, not take you." The answer is anger.

"Captured what? I consider him just a friend! what do you mean snatch?" Clara sighed. He understood now, then with a fierce face grabbed Steven's wrist and dragged him away.

"Dumb short wicks! free brain genius but not used!" his grunts while continuing to drag Steven with great difficulty. Steven himself felt dazed. He had not yet found an answer to his confusion. The word 'just friend' spun in his mind. Wondering who the man Clara meant.

Arriving at the inn, Clara forced Steven to sit in the guest room. Take the P3K box that was immediately thrust by Carlos who was directly out once they arrived.

"Give me your hand!" clara said, still in ferocious mode and continued to grumble slowly. Constantly saying the words 'stupid' and 'short axis'. Even Carlos and the other bodyguards looked horrified to see him. Scared Steven will be furious.

After finishing treating her hand, Clara looked back at Steven ferociously. "I'm sorry to Jun!" tell it.

"Not going to."

"I'm sorry Steve.you misunderstood him...!"

Steven raised his hand giving the code to get out to all his guards. After the main door closed, He folded his hands on his chest and looked at Clara flatly.

"If not Jun, then who?" tanyakanya.

Clara would not confess. Steven laughed again. "Look! you can't name another name, can you? You said you misunderstood him for protecting him." he continued.

"It's not so! Because it's not Jun!" clara replied frustratedly.

"Then say one name and I'll apologize to him!"

"That's.he..." Clara could not answer. If he confesses and they get back in a relationship. Clara could not imagine that she would just be disappointed. He didn't want to be just one of Steven's displays. He is still very much affected by the words Aston restaurant. Not to mention Clara seeing how easy it was for Steven's world to look at the relationship between women and close men just for fun.

"Not Jun! if you don't want to apologize at least don't hit him again. Whether you believe it or not! that's definitely not Jun!" said Clara.

The girl stood up and left him. Steven looked at his two treated hands. Curse his genius brain that doesn't work at a time like this.

'I think Sam is very useful if he is here.' he said in his heart. Constantly wondering about who the man that Clara meant.
