The Charm Behind the Mist

Disturbances.

~Happy Reading~

Carren drank the available mineral water before answering Aaric's question who was staring at him sharply. "I've never been to the office in that car, sister. Only at certain times, or when meeting with a certain client just use his car." Carren replied slowly, seeing Aaric's serious face ask her.

"So what did you wear to the office?" Aaric asked in surprise at Carren's explanation. He couldn't understand what Carren was saying.

"There's an employee who picked up by the office car, brother. He couldn't come here because there was work that couldn't be left behind. So I ordered a car online to drive me here." Carren explained in a soft voice, avoiding Aaric's gaze. There is something in Aaric that makes Carren must be able to explain well and correctly.

"Why didn't you say that to me so I could pick you up? Next time, tell me frankly. If I can't pick you up, there's someone else who can pick you up." Aaric said firmly while looking at Carren seriously.

Carren looked back at Aaric, who was uncomfortable hearing what he said. "Sorry, Brother. I've been used to doing that all along. I would be greatly burdened, if it was troublesome for others to do something I could do myself. Especially having to ask my brother to pick me up, when only last night talked to my sister. I feel disrespectful and self-destructive." Carren said slowly, but firmly.

"The time to come here, I had to make my brother travel either far or near, whether it was jammed or not to pick me up. If the office guys weren't busy, they'd take me, brother." Carren continued to say and Aaric continued to look at him.

Aaric had just regained consciousness hearing Carren's explanation. He had not known Carren yet and all he said was looking from his side. He was not used to being in an uncontrolled situation.

"Well, I get it. We will talk about it again in the future. Let's eat, 'cause we're here for dinner." Aaric then gestured to the waiters to serve them.

Waiters who had been waiting to serve them soon approached and noted what Aaric and Carren would order. "I am this one, and drink this one." Aaric pointed to a menu list and recorded by waiters. Arra, which one do you want?" Aaric asked after the waiters noted down the menu he wanted for dinner.

Carren did not order, but gestured for Aaric to bow. Carren brought the face closer while looking down at Aaric. Seeing that, Aaric immediately asked the waiters to leave them. He thought, Carren wants to talk about something that waiters should not know. "What's up, Arra?" Aaric asked, slightly bowing towards Carren.

"Sister, may I try the menu you ordered? If I can eat it, I'll order it just like Brother." Carren spoke softly, tendrung whispered. He hoped that Aaric could understand his point. When with Parry, he did not know which menu Parry was eating.

Aaric looked at Carren in surprise but quickly understood what Carren meant. Aaric nodded and again called the waiters to approach them. "Bring the menu I ordered. Add small plates and also extra cutlery." Waiters understood what Aaric meant, and left them. Then came back with everything Aaric had asked for.

"Arra, please try." Say Aaric and thrust a small plate towards Carren. Aaric watched as Carren thought. He was astonished by what Carren was doing. 'He has a luxury car, but hasn't tried the menu in this restaurant?' That's what's on his mind.

"How can you eat that?" Arric asked as he continued to look at Carren. Carren nodded, as he could eat the pasta menu ordered by Aaric. "Then you eat that one. I'll have another message for me." Aaric called back the waiters to serve him

"You can eat first." Said Aaric, as he watched Carren quietly wait.

After Aaric's order menu was presented, Carren bowed his head to give thanks before eating. Aaric who was about to eat became stunned, then lowered his head to be grateful. Something he hadn't done for a long time.

Aaric cut a small piece of meat and placed it on Carren's plate. "Taste this one too, so you can add to the menu list that you can eat here." Said Aaric, then saw Carren trying the piece of meat he was given. Carren nodded after eating it.

Seeing that, Aaric cut half of the piece of meat into small pieces and placed it on Carren's plate. Carren was surprised, but accepted it, because the meat was so delicious. "Wouldn't you eat this one? Because this is too much for me." Said Carren, sambi pointed at the menu on his plate. He thought, surely Aaric would eat it because it was the menu of his order.

"Let's just put it on my plate." Aaric said as he pushed his plate towards Carren to make it easier for Carren to move the menu off his plate. Then they enjoy dinner in silence, with their own thoughts and feelings that they cannot define.

"Which dessert do you want?" Aaric asked after they finished eating. Carren pointed to the one he had eaten with Parry. Then Aaric signaled to the waiters to serve them.

While they were enjoying the dessert, suddenly Aaric touched his ear and spoke. She gestured so Carren wouldn't talk to her.

📱"Yeah..." Aaric talked to someone through the earphones he was wearing.

📱"Sir, Mrs Biantra is inside. This is the security there's coming." Reply to Sapta who is standing guard outside the restaurant.

📱"Why just say now?" Ask Aaric, so emotion.

📱"Looks like Madam didn't use her car, sir. I've checked, there's no car here." Sapta replied quickly, because he knew his boss would be angry if he wasn't meticulous in this matter.

📱"Good. Maybe he saw me. You replace me here, I want to see what he does." Aaric then concluded his conversation with Sapta.

Aaric was surprised, while enjoying a dessert he felt a vibration on the phone in his pants pocket. The vibe that he had set up and knew who was contacting him. When he finds out Sapta is contacting him, he immediately responds because there may be something going on outside or there is important info that he should know.

Aaric looked around him which he could see. As far as the eye could see, he did not see anyone known. He could not contact Jekob, as he did not want to be seen with Jekob before the shareholders meeting.

"Arra, I'll leave you here, someone will come and pick you up. He's my confidant, so you just follow him." Said Aaric slowly and firmly. Carren immediately looked at it with round eyes, in shock.
