SENSITIVE LOVE

56

Arnold just walked into Steven's room. It did not matter that their big boss was receiving guests. Renjun was eager to throw the shoes at his annoying face.

"Oh .. Good afternoon Mr West? you came late. It was supposed to be watching the show." she said, casually bending over and propping up her chin on Steven's seatback.

"Nonsolent as always, Arnold! how are you doing?" ask the richest man number one. It was so relaxing as if they were old friends.

"Better than an old man like you. Why don't you take a break and let your beautiful son come here?"

Mr.West glanced at Steven who had a flat face. Smile and continue serving Arnold's words.

"He was forced, I just didn't let him know that Steven already had a partner. I heard the rumors."

"I'm willing to replace this snot kid. Aren't I more handsome?"

The old man laughed. Steven cleared his throat to turn the mood back into a serious one. This was the reason he did not come to visit Jun, because he was contacted by the most important business partner for him.

"How was the proposal?" ask Mr. West is serious.

"I will do it. I told you, didn't I?"

"It won't be difficult, because he's quite strong and cunning. If you jeopardize your position, I promise to help you. As long as my son can be assured. No matter what you ask, I will fulfill the reason my son can survive" said the old West with a serious face.

Steven nodded briefly, giving two letters of cooperation agreement. Mr. West was hesitant to take the pen and sign it.

"I will continue to support you to reach the top, as long as my wishes are fulfilled" he said, no more friendly impressions. His face turned extremely intimidating and sharp. As if Steven made a mistake he would destroy it.

"Don't worry about anything, you can come back comfortably." Steven replied calmly, no look of fear. Not at all affected.

After he left, Arnold took over Mr. West's seat and quickly read through the contents of the agreement. Emotionally, he kicked down the table as he put down the letter.

Arnold got up quickly and grabbed Steven's collar. His breath hunted with rage ready to explode.

"I keep following you not to see a loser, damn it! DON'T BE CRAZY!" arnold shouted at the end of his words. It violently threw Steven so he hit the back of the chair.

Steven was still calm, he was even just staring flat at Arnold who was still emotionless. "Do I need your permission? I have things to think about going forward. I have to protect what is mine. I can do anything if I need to." Steven's explanation is completely unacceptable Arnold.

"Sir.why don't you think about it again. Before it goes too far, you can cancel it. It's too risky.." persuade Rejun. Since then he had wanted to ban it but did not dare to say it. He's not at all teaching Arnold.

"I was wondering.. What if your little girl found out?" arnold said with a threatening tone.

"You'll shut up for me."

"Don't be sure, I'm not afraid to betray you!" resounding.

"Don't say much, just look at Tom's case. Besides, your next task is to destroy all sources of his wealth. I want him to rot in jail."

"Because of that, you've brought up his old case?"

"He should get a penalty for that."

"Ck, which idiot are you lying to? you want to kill him in jail, right? therefore look for the most severe case so that he is put to death. But since there's no death penalty here, you'll be executed yourself."

Steven laughed, "Because of that. I was too busy taking care of that. Unplug it to its roots, the center of power is in Singapore. You know what to do. Don't let the enemy retaliate again, how dare he kidnap Clara and make her a tool!"

Arnold and Renjun looked at Steven with different eyes. Wrap up with great horror at the cruelty of what Steven said. Arnold looked at him with questions.

"So you're punishing him this hard because he's implicating your girl? just because of your woman?" arnold asked in a typical insulting tone. Like not accepting the truth.

Steven did not reply, his jaw hardened. Arnold knew Steven was holding back his anger, but had no intention of stopping his mouth. Renjun had even seen his master with a feeling of misgivings.

"I don't think that genius does stupidity. I just found out they can be idiots too!" Arnold folded his hands and threw a mocking look. "What do you do if he doesn't accept you? she may soon be Jun's lover. They're like dating people!" fishing Arnold.

"Don't make it up, when it's done you know the exit." Steven kicked it out.

Arnold growled in annoyance, as he got up and came out he said loudly. "Prospective sister-in-law will be taken by others, believe me!"

"What do you mean? Miss never got close to another man!" sangkal Renjun's.

"Thanks...!" call Steven in a sharp low voice.

Arnold stopped and turned around. Before he could even look at that face, a small knife floated towards him. Sticking lightly on his left chest, as if it had been measured correctly, the knife pierced Arnold's pectoral muscle but wound it deeper. Even the knife fell by itself tampa revoked. Blood came out of the wound, seen seeping through Arnold's grey shirt.

Renjun gulped his saliva roughly, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. Arnold was silent. Steven's knife-sharp eyes wiped it deep. As if to tell, that he could do more than that.

Arnold knew his tongue was too venomous just now. He understands Steven's anger, with his face down he picks up the knife that injured him and puts it on Steven's desk.

"I'm sorry to underestimate him. I'll think of my words in the future" said Arnold, closing his suit to cover his wound. Then bow respectfully to Steven before leaving.

"Telephone Carlos to bring Clara here." Steven's voice still sounded as sharp as it had been. Making Renjun shiver in fear in his place.

"Sa_I will do it sir." Then as fast as lightning Rendjun came out. Waging his respiration after he got outside. Sitting with weak knees in the empty seat that Sindy used to work. After his fear was overcome, he only realized that Sindy had disappeared since the meeting.

Inside, Steven stared at the knife with Arnold's bloodstain. He supports his head with a fused hand. Then he moved to get up, staring at the expanse of the building outside with a bright mind.

.

At the hospital, Carlos with a regretful face interrupted Clara's chatter. Told him they had to go to Steven's office immediately.

"What's up, Carlos? why do we have to go there again?" ask Clara as they're on their way.

"I don't know Miss. Master only ordered so." replied Carlos.

Arriving in front of Steven's room, Renjun immediately held him back for a while. Giving a warning in a soft voice.

"Master's in a bad mood. I hope you don't provoke her Miss. I beg your understanding."

Clara was more nervous than ever. Wondering if Steven was so because of his last words.

Renjun opened the door and announced his arrival. Clara came in and her heart seemed to jump out as the cold gaze was directed at her. Steven was sitting in his chair. This reminds Clara of the beginning of their meeting at school. When Steven first looked at him in the cafeteria. He felt the foreign aura.

"Sit down." tell Steven. The cold impression still surrounds him.

Clara walked quickly and immediately sat down in front of Steven. The man's brows furrowed, as if protesting what Clara was doing.

"Who told you to be there? come here!" he said he backed off a little. Opening herself up so that Clara would sit on her lap.

"That's .. Why should it be there?"

Seeing Steven's hardened face, Clara immediately woke up and quickly moved her lap.

Steven clasped Clara's small waist and buried his face in her neck. He could feel Clara's heartbeat beating hard. Wonder about it out of love or out of fear.

"St...Steven... What's wrong?" clara asked nervously.

Clara felt overwhelmed. He was aware of his feelings as well but still did not want to accept them. So he felt that here he was the one who was selfish.

After a long silence. Clara just realized that Steven was asleep. Gently Clara let go of her hand and gently stroked Steven's head. Use it to make her sleep feel more comfortable.

.

Clara woke up in the morning in a slight daze. Everything felt unreal about what he had been through yesterday. Glanced at the clock on the wall and quickly entered the bathroom.

Clara came down in a hurry with two thick books in her hand and a typical college backpack containing many books. Carlos swiftly picked it up and led it towards the dining table.

"Good morning everyone." said Clara.

The whole waiter returned his greeting, somewhat astonished that Clara did not usually look excited. Wonder what good he got.

Steven came in a few seconds later. His face was slightly tangled with dark circles under his eyes. Looks less sleep but still, adonis face looks amazingly handsome. Increasingly, Clara felt Steven's facial features became more assertive and masculine. The jaw line that when the SMA is sharp becomes sharper again. Makes anyone want to touch it.

"What do you see? eat breakfast. We'll be leaving soon." Steven's sidelines were flat.

Clara flinched, unaware that she had been staring at Steven tampa blinking. Usually he would blush, but Steven's flat, firm tone made him wonder. What made Steven change? is he still angry at her?

Clara doesn't know, they often fight arguments but Steven will usually just ignore, forget about his anger quickly. But this time he's not. Even Steven didn't say anything when his car got to the front of the university building.

"Thank you, I'm going in" said Clara. Steven just nodded briefly and said anything.

After he entered with Carlos, Steven's car drove away from the place.

Today the percentage of their tasks and Clara thanked very much Tomas who completed their tasks. Make everything go well.

"So, what happened that afternoon? you disappeared and everyone panicked looking for you?" ask Lusi. Early in the morning when they met Lusi could not interrogate him because their class was about to begin.

Now, as usual, they were put on hand for lunch after class, which made their heads hot and felt like breaking.

"I'm sorry, I was..." Clara bit her lip, confused to find out what reason.

"That's it, the important thing is that he's fine." between Tomas, he seemed to understand that Clara did not want to discuss it.

"Since you've been thinking a lot, what's going on?" ask Lusi again.

"I'm fine." replied Clara.

Clara was uncomfortable telling it, as Tomas continued to stare at her with a curious face as well. They haven't known him for long and Clara doesn't have as much trust as she trusts Lusi for him.

Someone from the student organization approached Tomas and spoke for a moment. Then they quickly left with a serious face.

"Tomas had a lot of friends, yes" said Clara, envying that he wasn't as free as others to hang out and play with. Steven always arranges everything for him.

"Well, he's very famous. Handsome, rich and the head of a student organization. Who does not know him. All children are always disturbed because lately he is hanging out with us." replied Lusi.

Clara was surprised, not because she was famous, but a new fact she knew. "He's the head of a student organization?"

Susi looked at him with a flat face, as if she had been used to seeing Clara who knew nothing about their campus environment.

"Unfortunately, yes!" answer's short. "But can we ignore him? I want to know why hot conglomerate young Mr. Steven can pick you up and most importantly." Lusi glanced at Carlos who was sitting not far from them, "Is he also the one?"

Clara doesn't know where to start. Or if he could trust Lusi. Thinking of the fact whether Lusi would believe him alone made him doubtful.

"I wouldn't dare spread it! I still love my life." said Lusi who made Clara smile.

"Who will hurt you" Clara said.

Lusi gawked, clearly understanding that Clara did not understand the circumstances around her. He moved his head and lowered his voice.

"You don't know anyone's view on young master Steven, do you?" tanyakanya. Glanced to the left right then looked at Clara again. "Aren't you even aware that since this morning no one has seen you with the usual cynical and hostile looks?" continued.

Plainly Clara glanced at her left right, all the children who had unintentionally exchanged glances with her immediately lowered their heads and inched away. At the very least, they would duck and pretend not to see it.

"What's wrong with them?"

Susi patted her forehead then looked at Clara with a bored face. Regret the innocence of Clara who seems to have been locked up for centuries.

"Are you even watching TV?"

"I rarely, prefer to play with my dog or read a book, a novel or a movie."

"Not social media?"

"Rarely," said Clara with a soft sledgehammer.

"Jeez .. From now on open the internet and get to know the people around you. Steven Kim is known for being the most successful young entrepreneur today. He had even recently leveled up to become the number 6 richest person. He was even more hailed than the number one richest man. A very hot and sexy gold star. All the women craved it, but I think I understand why she was never seen holding any woman. Besides being young, it turns out that he has fallen as a plain girl from the cave." ledek Lusi at the end of his explanation.

"Not from goa either." protested Clara.

"Look! you didn't even dodge me saying he liked you," said Lusi as he brandished his forefinger playfully.

"Do you know the most important thing about it? Steven Kim is famous for his horrible personality when angry. He was famous for being a cruel hot man because of his sharp words. Although this is just a rumor, but I heard that he also controlled some dark organizations. But that fact no one knows..." Presumably Lusi intentionally, he wanted to lure Clara because he knew her friend knew her. Who knew he would know the true facts of the rumors. Susi is an anime fan, and she is obsessed with handsome yakuza characters. That's what he imagined when he saw Steven and the rumors that enveloped him.

Clara was of course surprised, she immediately checked her phone and opened google. Typing Steven's name and the whole article came up with very much. Starting from news articles, business or gossip. Biting her lips, Clara put her phone away and cupped her face on the table.

"What's wrong? why is your expression so strange!"

Clara lifted her head and propped it up with her arms. "I'm .. I'm confused with him" he said slowly.

"What mountain? tell me!" suhut Lusi with spirit.

"It looks like I made a mistake, I made him mad. I don't know where it's wrong."

"Then tell me .. so that I can find a solution." annoyed Lusi, he was really curious.

"Long, I'm confused where to start."

"Main to the cafe I work at home later?" tawar Lusi's.

"Steven picked me up, I need his permission."

"Oh God...! She's that possessive? But try to ask permission. I'll wait for you anytime. I'm done at 10pm." Clara nodded. Again, hesitantly he read article after article about Steven. Didn't know that the person who always confessed his feelings to her was this big fellow. Clara felt very small and inappropriate. His self-esteem slumped in and he was like very shameless.

'I .. turned out to live with a very famous person. I'm what is this? like a stolen child? I'm like a parasite that hitchhikes on life.'

Throughout the last class of the day, Clara focused on her phone screen. He keeps reading about Steven out there. Sometimes he grumbled to himself or laughed softly because of what was written there. This is due to the amount of false information about his daily life. Clara who lives with him of course knows that most of them are just second-guessing.

His lecturer knew he was not focused on college, but did not reprimand him at all. He just showed his frustrated face. It was as if reprimanding his protege that one would bring trouble to him. The rumors spread very quickly.
