41. He's Angry

"Ben, can't you reduce the speed? We could have been in an accident" Clarie said. The mood of the person next to him may not be good, from earlier not talking, smiling, or acting as usual.

Ben and Clarie are on their way to the mayor's place, home to be exact. Yesterday when they visited, the mayor did not exist, whether it did not exist because of business, being in hiding, or running away. "Hey Ben, what's the mayor doing? Do you think he's running away? Or maybe he killed himself?" clarie asked open the conversation. Usually if the problem is like this, Ben will answer without regard to his mood.

"Let's go, I just want my money back now. The mayor's base is less responsible, where he's taking my money away" Ben replied. Right on target, no doubt if it was a matter of money that Ben had, he would not hesitate to answer.

They entered the front yard of the mayor's house. Ben parked his car and got off, followed by Clarie. Clarie looked around, many flowers planted in the courtyard. Ben knocked on the door and not long after that the mayor came out from inside. He was a little surprised, but kept his expression.

"So Mr Xiao, what are you doing to come to my house this early in the morning?" the mayor asked nervously. Surely he knew what made Ben come to his house, but it was just a stale base.

Ben glanced at Clarie sitting next to him, the girl also glanced back at Ben. "Sir, we came here because of the money I gave to renovate the park in the city. I gave more money, and it was me on purpose. Don't talk trite anymore, that money, what do you use it for?"

"That's.that's.begini Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. The money was used by my son, he.em there are some urgent problems that certainly need money. So, he said borrow your money,"

The atmosphere was silent, the man who was roughly forty years old lowered his head. Fear was clearly visible on his face, he was wrong, and he regretted. While Ben continued to look at the mayor while thinking, what would he ask to change his money.

The kling! The cafe bell rang as Clarie opened the door and went inside. The cold afternoon did not make him discourage the intention to chat with Leon. The man always invited him to meet every afternoon or evening, chatting and telling the events they had just experienced.

Clarie smiled and waved her hand when she saw Leon who had also just arrived at the cafe. "Hi" said Leon with a smile.

"Let's sit down, I want to ask you something important enough," Clarie asked Leon to sit down. They look for a table near the window, so they can enjoy the outside view. "What makes Ben angry?"

"Hey Clarie, why are you asking me that? The most obvious one was to ask him himself,"

"Of course, but he remained silent like a statue. And by the way, why do you look pale?"

"Dean terrorized me, ever since he came home from there, he was angry and kept staring with a murderous look. He's jealous, because of yesterday,"
