SENSITIVE LOVE

52

It's been two days since Clara received a message from an unknown number. A message from someone who said Jun needed help. Steven's not in America. He travelled to England after the success of his great project.

Clara turned to Carlos who seemed to be on high alert after the day she met Raka. Even his escort was tightened. His classmates no one dared to approach him except for Luci. They just walked away from him like he was a freak. Of course it was a burden, but Lusi always comforted him. Although curious who is behind Clara so that he is guarded strictly like state assets.

"Miss, sir called you. Is your phone dead?" carlos asked when Clara had just left class.

"I'm in class, right?" clara replied a little upset. He knew Steven just wanted to make sure he was safe. The man was too busy to talk to her.

When the phone was turned on, and Clara tried to call back, Steven didn't answer. Clara is upset, this is not the first time since their relationship improved a little. Steven was always busy and had no time to be home. What was most upsetting was the drastic change in the woman he had been close to. Sindy deliberately provoked him. Deliberately showing closeness to Steven in front of him.

"Claras?"

Clara turned around, looking at a man no taller than Carlos. His appearance is very fashionable and from what he wears, it is clear he comes from a rich family. But the problem was that Clara didn't have the ability to judge people by clothing brands, so she simply stuck the man with a plain face. Unlike some of the girls who had stolen a glance at him. To be honest, other than what he was wearing, he was extremely handsome.

"You know me?" clara asked, glancing at Carlos who was starting to be more alert.

"Professor made our name in one group for this week's practice, haven't seen the list of divisions?"

"Oh, I came out first so don't know..."

"Yes, I came to tell you. Tomas scott, call as you please." he said, then stretched out his hand.

"Ooh.ok. I've seen Alex scott, is that your brother?" clara asked, curious because of their same surname.

Tomas smiled but clearly looked uncomfortable. "Yes, she's my second sister's another mother." replied Tomas.

"Claras? kecantin?" greet the recently come out.

"Tomas, I'm going first. Tomorrow we meet at the library after the second practice. See you." said Clara, then took Lusi to leave.

"Everybody in class is gossiping about you. Why come out first? you should have seen Pricillia's face." Lusi said it while grinning. Looks very happy.

"Who's Pricillia? then what does it have to do with me being with him?" ask Clara. Even Carlos who heard it smiled with anxiety. Amazed at Clara's indifference to the high class society that everyone longs for. Carlos even knew about them because he always followed them.

Susi looks frustrated, this is not the first time she has heard Clara's indifference to what their college kids think is cool.

"About information my dear friend... Tomas is one of the most wanted. And then anyone knew Pricillia liked it. He admitted it blatantly."

"Oh..." Clara nodded at a glance. "I'm hungry." continued Clara later.

Clara's response made Lusi regretted explaining. But he actually admired Clara's unique nature.

While eating in the cafeteria, Clara again gets a message from an unknown number. If you said before that Jun was in danger. This time he sent a vidio that made Clara sculpt. Slowly her tears came out, before she only thought that it was Raka who might terrorize her with fear, but once she saw the vidio, Clara was in shock.

"Clara why are you?" asked Lusi in a panic. He immediately put down his spoon and fork and grabbed Clara's phone which he had seen since. But only a few seconds later, the phone was taken from him.

Lucia looked at Carlos in surprise. The man helps Clara wake up and immediately carries her by being carried to the parking lot. Ignoring Lusi's questions along the way.

"It's a terror, right? who is dividio?" ask Lusi for a few times. They just got to the parking lot.

Other bodyguards blocked the lusi when the girl was about to approach Clara who was put in the car. But they realized, a man was smiling from behind the pole. Then approached Lusi who was alone when Clara was taken away.

"Why your friend?"

Lusi gasped, surprised because he did not realize there was already someone behind him. Susi does not know him and looks not their college student.

"Who are you?"

The man smiled and approached her slowly. Feeling scared, Lusi immediately took a thousand steps. Run away from that guy.

.

Carlos finished seeing the vidio on Clara's phone. Copied it on his phone and immediately sent a message to Steven. Clara was still silent, sometimes a small sobbing was heard in her silence.

"Carlos .. We have to save Jun! Where's Steven! he had promised to look for Jun but look what happened!" clara said in a hoarse voice.

"Relax Miss, you've been looking for her all this time, just haven't found a bright spot. We thought Jun was just being alone, not expecting this to happen." replied Carlos. The man also looked worried.

Meanwhile, Steven was attending a celebration party of one of his business associates in England. Parties that usually only aim to find stronger party relations and support. At that time Steven came with Sindy as his secretary. Many times gossip is tucked between the chatter of colleagues and rivals. Steven, of course, stayed relaxed. In contrast to Sindy who acted as if the gossip was true.

"You guys just arrived?" greet someone. The two looked over, Steven smiling as he could.

"I didn't know you were attending, Mr Aston?"

"Oh boy.this is an important party. Even Mr. West came. How am I not present? how's it going? it's great to hear your great project with Mr. West was a great success."

"Very good, as you can see."

Aston glanced at Sindy, "Of course, very good with the beautiful and sexy girl by your side. Where's your little girlfriend? I wonder if he'll be jealous?" he said with a joke. As if he was joking lightly.

"She's busy with her studies, besides my woman is not a childish person." said Steven casually.

Their conversation was of course overheard by some of the women who were deliberately there to steal the hearing. It is commonplace that a handsome man will be surrounded by the sight of women even though he is married.

Steven felt the shakes of his phone since earlier, but did not immediately check because it was still in the middle of the party hall. When one of his subordinates whispered something. Steven immediately left Aston just like that.

"You look really pretty tonight" Aston said as Sindy chased after Steven. He turned back and smiled nervously.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir."

"Can you come tonight? I need a drinking buddy." said Aston with a meaningful smile. Sindy gulped with great difficulty.

"Do I have a choice?" sindy replied in an ambiguous tone. Of course to avoid the views and responses of people. He immediately left Aston with a dejected face.

This is not the first time Aston has asked for it. Aston has his family's company in his hands now. Therefore Sindy must not want to obey him. Because he knew his life could be threatened when he was angry with him.

Steven got outside the party hall, walked to a quiet place and immediately checked his phone. After seeing what Aston delivered, he immediately headed for the exit.

"Prepare the plane for me, we're heading to the airport right now." Steven ordered.

"Master will return to America, you will be asked to finish all the remaining business here" a subordinate of Steven told Sindy as he was outside the hall.

"What's wrong?" sindy asked, suspicious of Steven's sudden departure. "Is it because of Clara?"

"Just do the command."

Sindy laughed cynically after being left out just like that. Then he went back to the party hall.

.

Clara sat in the guest room in a state of anxiety. Some waiters served snacks but none of them touched. As soon as Carlos approached after the man received a pouch, Clara got up quickly.

"Meet the guy?" tanyakanya.

Carlos shook his head, he put a cell phone on a table wrapped in plastic. Clara looked at Carlos not understanding.

"Mobile only, miss. We're tracking the cctv around where this phone was found."

"Is that really the phone of the person who sent me the message?" ask Clara. Carlos nodded succinctly.

"When found you were calling here. Vidio and his message were deleted by the owner."

Clara looks disappointed. He was excited to get a hint. Because the phone of the person they are looking for is detected in the same city and not far from their location.

At night, Clara could not sleep. He again watched the 15-second vidio. Watching Jun who was bound with a huge wound on his forehead, his injuries were still new and kept dripping with blood.

Clara flinched and immediately sat in her bed when someone grabbed her phone. Steven stood there, looking anxiously at her.

"Since when?" tanyakanya. Then check Clara's message history.

"Two days and twice. Why are you quiet?" steven asked again, throwing the origin of Clara's phone on the mattress and then kneeling her forehead. Frustrated and angry. Staring at Clara who just looked down.

"Dry!" his orders.

In silence Clara put away the blanket and inched down. Slowly standing in front of Steven who immediately hugged him.

"You should have told me from the beginning. It could be a trap for you, Clara,"

"But that dividio is really Jun!" sahut Clara, pulled his head and looked up.

"Yes, that's him. But it's dangerous if you just keep quiet. From tomorrow I'll take you and pick you up."

"Please focus on Jun's safety" Clara asked, sounding annoyed and begging.

"I'm investigating, just listen to me and don't go anywhere alone!" Clara did not argue anymore, she simply nodded obediently.

"Eat already?" asked Steven and sighed afterwards because of the answer Clara gave.

With a light movement he lifted Clara and carried her koala-style. Made the girl scream small and thrashed out asking to be let down.

"Steven, put me down!"

Steven didn't tell her, the man took her into his study, which was available for them to have dinner. Served on a food trolley that has switched functions into a table.

"I'm not hungry" Clara refused as Steven fed her.

"Jun will be found! make sure you stay healthy so you can meet him!" annoyed Steven. "Open your mouth!"

Clara pouted but finally opened her mouth resignedly. "Why are you talking like that! It's like Jun is my girlfriend!" ketus Clara with a sour face. Steven pulled the corner of his lips faintly.

"Ooh..so right? then who is he, why are you always paying attention to him?" steven asked, very relaxed as if a father was questioning his son.

"Stevens!" Clara hit him on the shoulder in annoyance. His mouth was still chewing but his eyebrows swooped sharply.

"What's? i'm wrong?" sarcastic Steven calmly. Then his eyes stared into Clara's eyeballs intensely.

"Why does it feel like you care so much about him? what's special about him?" Clara did not answer immediately. After swallowing his food, he choked. Steven immediately gave him a drink and patted his back gently.

"I .. I'm full. Don't want any more."

Steven had the servants take everything out, also had all the subordinates and other servants leave them.

After the door closed, Steven got up, still holding Clara to his desk. Housed Clara next to the computer and she began to struggle with her work again.

"When are you resting?" ask Clara.

"In a moment, I'm checking the report." Clara glanced at Steven's computer. See what he read. Clara frowned, completely clueless as what she saw were only curves and numbers.

Steven took quite a while to finish, unaware that Clara's head was staggered to hold back the sleepiness. Exactly like a sleepy Kindergarten child in class. When Steven looked up to see her, the man smiled. Then with a soft laugh lifted Clara and made her sleep on her lap.

"I'm going to the room." whined with his eyes closed, his head leaning against Steven's broad shoulder.

"First company, I'm more excited because of you."

Clara did not respond to her sweet sentence.The girl was already asleep. Steven lowered his head, then kissed his temple slowly before returning to continue his work.

The door was knocked twice, Steven said as he watched Clara, making sure the girl stayed asleep. Carlos came in with a 40-year-old man.

"Master, it seems that Jun is in this country. The last cell phone signal was on the ship but we caught something suspicious."

"Say!"

"The child who spoke to the Miss in the library is seen entering into a mension belonging to your old enemy, Sir." After the events of Clara came out with fear at that time, Steven did investigate it. Knowing that Raka who apparently managed to sneak into the campus Clara.

"Old enemy?" reworked.

"Yes sir, he was also on the guest list in the same ship that Jun was aboard."

"My enemies.quite a lot since long ago. Who is.." Steven's words stopped when he remembered the one name that might have had the greatest grudge against him. "Tom crush?" whispered.

"Right sir, he's in America right now."

Steven glanced at the still slumbering Clara. "Investigate the mession crush. Also make sure the psychopath doesn't come near Clara." he ordered.

"Don't you feel Tom is after you, sir? He only used Jun.." his subordinate stopped, glancing at Clara at a glance as soon as he found his understanding. Feeling stupid for daring to interrupt.

"I'll investigate, I'm sorry sir."

After the man's departure, Steven looked at Carlos who immediately stiffened in his place. Obviously he knew Steven would scold him for being negligent.

"Carlos ..it wasn't easy for me to trust others to take care of her. Once again you make a mistake, I'll really punish you." Steven's anger refers to Carlos who is misled because he does not know someone is terrorizing Clara.

"I'm sorry sir, I'll be more vigilant."

Steven didn't answer anymore. Carefully he picked up Clara bridal and took her out. Towards the bedroom.

After making sure Clara slept comfortably, Steven went out and into his own room. He changed his clothes and went back to checking the email on his phone before going to bed.

.

Clara arrived in front of the campus. When Steven was about to get out, Clara forbade him. "Why?" ask Steven a little sewot.

"I don't want you to make a scene. Looky!" clara said as many children stared at Steven's car. "Your fancy car attracts attention."

"Why, I have so much money for my luxuries." Clara glanced at him cynically. Then it quickly descended as he saw someone he knew.

Carlos and two other bodyguards immediately followed him. "Wait!" steven said to his driver when he saw who Clara was approaching. He grabbed his phone and called Carlos.

"Yes Sir?" carlos asked, turning to Steven's car after raising his call.

"Who is that guy? why does Clara look so close to him?"

Carlos turned to the two before answering. "The fourth son of the Schott family Mr. She's Miss' classmate."

"Why did you just say it now?"

"That's .. I don't think it's that important, so..."

"Report with anyone Clara meets every day." cut Steven cold.

"Ba .. good Mr." Poor Carlos, he forgot that his master was so possessive.

"Road!" steven's orders with a gloomy aura. His eyes could not be separated from Clara who was now gone from sight.

Arriving at the office, Steven gnawed his forehead slowly, he was agitated and completely unsettled. Renjun submitted some files and then submitted some important reports.

"Master, you hear me?" ask Renjun. Steven was completely unfocused.

"Jun's not done now Scott shows up, does he like sticking around here and there now?" he muttered tampa consciously.

He looked at her in wonder. "Master?" call Renjun again.

"Ren ... what gifts do women usually like?"

The one being asked is of course getting confused. "Why are you quiet?" steven's eyes are sharp. Make her shake herself because she doesn't know what to answer.

"Sir..if this is a matter Miss.I think you should ask the same expert. I'm..."

"Ck! you're just as bad as Carlos is about women." cut him off in annoyance. "Find out and get me some presents. Leave it before lunch. Clear my schedule after lunch. Oh... Is Sindy back?"

"That's .. he spent the night there, sir. Her guard reported that she secretly left right after the party was over."

"Where'd he go?"

"I think .. he went to Aston. Because his bodyguard saw him pick up the Aston driver that night."

Steven smirked, "In addition to bullies and sycophants he also became ******?" steven said in a scornful tone. "Make our people get proof of their relationship. I'll be very entertained someday." A wicked grin was etched on his lips.

"It is with pleasure, sir..." Renjun was just excited for it, from the beginning he did not like Sindy.

"Just take care of the gift I'm asking you to give me, don't go in until you find it." Suddenly Steven was fierce again. The rajun can only surrender. Listeningly came out after delivering his important report.

What he did next was to question the employees. Get info from them before going to the mall looking for what he should buy.

"What's really wrong with him? why is the master suddenly more aggressive?" he muttered while looking at the contents of the shopping center.

.

As they had talked this morning, Clara and Tomas were in the library discussing their duties. Searching for multiple references at once starts working on it.

"What do you think is a suitable title?" clara asked as Tomas sat down with two thick books. Clara is starting her typing.

"We make it at the end of how? I don't have an idea yet. After all ... why are there so few book references to what we are going to make? I think we should go to a bigger library."

"That's a good idea."

"After lunch? we only have afternoon classes after this, don't we?"

Clara nodded briefly, agreeing to Tomas' idea. She has never been anywhere but with Steven and Jun. This will be his first trip with his friends.

Once enough is felt, the two go out together. Coinciding with a message on her phone. Clara checked right in front of the exit. A message that made him stare.

"Clara, is something wrong?" ask Tomas.

Clara smiled stiffly and then shook her head. "Come to the cafeteria, my friend seems to have been there" he said. But Tomas looked confused. Clara who was about to step along was confused because the man was silent.

"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"Tadi ... What are you talking about? I don't understand your language." Clara patted her forehead while laughing softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm free to speak Indonesian" replied Clara.

Tomas laughed, and they both walked together. Clara knew many women were glancing at her cynically, yet she chose to be ignorant.

Carlos who walked behind them just prayed nothing would happen. She had just received a message from her master that she was on her way to campus and would not let him tell Clara.
