The Love of the Unknown Man

26. Before I Go

Gustav widened his eyes when he saw the condition of the room of an inn that was as messy as a broken ship.

But what surprised Gustav more were two bodies lying on the floor that both had gunshot wounds to the chest. They are James and Billy. The man who had tortured Gustav and dumped his body on the edge of the forest.

Gustav tightened his jaw and clenched his hands because he was holding back the anger that was rising in his chest.

What Gustav wants James and Billy arrested alive is so he can interrogate them and find out why he was tortured.

Several police officers were on guard and gathering evidence around the scene. Only Gustav and Gordon were allowed to enter just to look.

“My guess is they fought each other and ended up with both of them shooting each other,” explained Gordon by staring fixedly at the two corpses lying on the floor.

Then Gordon glanced at his cousin.

“Nothing to worry about anymore,Gus. The man who tortured you died without us doing anything."

Gustav shook his head steadily.

"That's not what's on my mind right now."

"Then what, Gus?"

Gustav threw a glance at Gordon until their eyes met each other.

“I'm sure they were paid by someone, and I won't calm down before finding that person" Gustav said with a firm fist.

In the next instant, Gustav turned around and set foot leaving the inn inhabited by James and Billy.

The morning is welcome.

Byurs.

“Aarrghh,” cried Lisa when she was suddenly doused while turning in one of the campus corridors.

Soon there was a sound of laughter and Martha emerged from behind the wall. He held a stomach that felt tingly.

While Lisa immediately raised a sharp eye on Martha, because her body is now soaked by the woman.

Unaccepting, Lisa pushes Martha's body and nudges her against the wall. The two women stared at each other hatefully.

“What the fuck is this?”

Martha brushed off Lisa's hand and rubbed the spot where Lisa touched her shirt. He did not want the expensive clothes attached to his body touched by the hands of village girls.

“That's it if you find out because of me,” says Martha has a waistline.

Lisa who heard that instantly knitted her eyebrows.

“What did you say? Find 'cause? Didn't you start first?”

Martha did not comment on Lisa's words. He looked at Lisa from top to bottom, then published a scornful smile.

“What is your relationship with Mr Gustav?” Martha asked back.

Honestly Martha was curious, is there a closeness of Mr Gustav with Lisa? Why would Lord Gustav want Martha to apologize to Lisa?

That question has been lodged in Martha's mind since yesterday.

“Mr Gustav? Who is Lord Gustav? I don't know,” Lisa said casually and was about to waltz away.

However, Martha snatched Lisa's arm to hold the girl.

“Do not lie!”

“I'm not lying.”

Martha squinted her eyes at Lisa's relaxed countenance and did not seem to harbor a lie.

Then Lisa threw out her hand and intended to leave. But just two steps into her walk, Lisa stopped instantly.

“Wait! I forgot something.”

Plaque.

Lisa turned around, her hand slapping Martha's cheek.

"That's a reply because yesterday you slapped me and it's a reply for getting my body wet."

Lisa grabbed Martha's hair which of course made the woman scream in pain.

Lisa never thought, why does Martha always make trouble with her?

Not to be outdone, Martha also grabbed Lisa's hair, and the next second there was a hairpins. To make them a free spectacle by other students.

Jerri entered the workspace where the owner of the room was struggling with a laptop and occasionally glanced at a document.

“Master, Miss Lisa had a fight with Miss Martha on campus,” Jerri reported to Gustav who remained focused on her work.

“Have you investigated who started first?”

Jerri nodded his head, “Miss Martha who first doused Miss Lisa, Mr.”

“I've guessed. Looks like, Martha wants to die,” muttered Gustav

Gustav closed the laptop, let out a long sigh and his lips revealed a faint smile.

“What should we do, Mister?”

Gustav turned his gaze at his personal assistant by emitting a cold aura.

“Why did you ask? Of course we make Mario company bankrupt.”

Just then, the door of the room opened, which made Gustav and Jerri look over. In the doorway, Camilla stood very haughty with a clutch bag.

Camilla breezed across the room while displaying a smile at her beloved granddaughter. And when right standing next to Jerri, he glanced at the personal assistant gesturing to come out.

Jerri who understood the meaning of Camilla's gaze just lowered his head and walked shut the door from the outside.

Camilla sat in a chair facing Gustav.

“What is Grandma here for? If only to discuss matchmaking again, I've said I already have a future wife.”

Instead of answering, Camilla laughed.

“Where is your future wife? Don't you lie so Grandma doesn't match you again.”

“Let me introduce to Grandma,” replied Gustav in a relaxed tone.

Gustav already has plans to bring Lisa to Camilla and her siblings.

Camilla was not so enthusiastic. The old woman clucked and sighed.

“But unfortunately there is more to it than that. Grandma wants you to settle back in London because our company there really needs you.”

Gustavo flinched and turned his head quickly at Camilla. He really wouldn't have expected his grandmother to ask him to come back to London.

Since Gustav's memory has been restored, he has told Camilla that he will stay in Indonesia.

“I can't. I want to be here. Our company's problems in London, Gordon alone handles it,” said Gustav firmly.

Gustav's refusal to make Camilla squinted at the look on Gustav's face that seemed to hide something and was very surprising.

During this time Camilla remembered Gustav as a professional at work. Camilla believes there is something that makes her granddaughter did not want to leave Indonesia.

“Grandma trusts Gordon less. Inevitably tomorrow morning we have to leave,” said Camilla moved from her seat.

Gustav looked up with a widened bead of eyes.

“Tomorrow? Why so suddenly?”

“Because it's a precarious issue and you have to deal with it immediately, Gus.”

“But Grandma..” Gustavo stood up with his jaw tightening in anger.

If the woman in front of him wasn't the grandmother that Gustav should respect, it might have been Gustav snapped earlier.

As fast as lightning Camilla pointed her index finger to signal that Gustav was silent and not refuting.

“Just tomorrow morning we fly to London. Point.”

Camilla turned around and stepped away from Gustav's study. He knew that if he continued to be in the room, the grandson would protest at him.

After Camilla's departure, Gustav's gaze was blank and then massaged the base of his nose.

There was only one sentence on his mind.

I have to see Lisa before I go to London.
