...All night Elston didn't come back to his room. He continues to be in the workspace to prepare for everything he will need during his departure with Mia later. Elston's plan is completely unanimous. He won't delay it anymore....
...He will use various ways to take Mia away. Although Mia will hate him later, Elston doesn't care. All he cared about right now was the girl's safety....
...After knowing Vivian for a long time, Elston knew a little about how Vivian survived among the upper class all this time. Vivian is an ambitious woman. That's why he can get his position and all his wealth....
...Women are hardworking and not afraid of challenges. Maybe that's what can describe the figure of a Vivian. But that doesn't mean Elston doesn't know what the woman has done behind it all. That's why Elston became worried when he found out Mia was the third person between Vivian and her fiance....
...If he thought back to how Vivian was, Elston could only endure the anger. All the plans and threats implied in Vivian's words are true. That's why Elston wants to protect Mia....
...Hid. The ambition of a woman is frightening....

In the midst of the silence of the night, there was a soft knock on the door of Elston's study. Elston is reluctant to distract from his job.
"Come in Bones." exclaimed Elston who thought that at a time like this only Bones was still awake. Elston was stuffing one by one his passport, visa, and important documents into the suitcase he was about to carry.
"Els. it's me." Mia appeared at the end of the door with a face that looked still sleepy. Elston flinched for a moment. Because it turns out Mia is the one who is currently in the room with her.
"What are you doing? Am I bothering you? I was looking for you in the room but there wasn't" Mia said.
...Did Mia wake up because she was worried about me?...
Elston looked at his watch. Time shows at 2 am. Elston turned around while showing a wry smile on his face. "Hey pretty. What was? did you wake up because I wasn't there?" elston said with his own words.
"What are you doing?" Mia stepped in. And watch what Elston does. "What's all this for? are you going?"
My curiosity cannot be stopped. That's her afrodite girl. Elston smiled faintly, then continued to enter all the remaining files on the table until it was finished.
"It's not just me Mia. But we are." said Elston. Mia frowned in confusion. "You mean us?" ask Mia. "We're going to LA the day after tomorrow. I have important work to do there. And I need you. That's why I want you to come with me." Elston had to lie. Because if not, maybe Mia will reject his invitation. And the plan will fail.
"I? you mean I'll come with you?" Mia still doesn't understand. He was confused by the plan that Elston suddenly said. "But.." Mia was silent for a moment. If he left, then there would be a lot of things he would have to do before he went with Elston. "How long are we gonna be gone?"
"Don't know. It might take a while. Until my job is done." Making excuses like this is not entirely a lie.
Elston does want to get some work done in LA. But not for long. It's just that given all of Vivian's dangerous plans, Elston would take advantage of the situation to stay there with Mia. Just the two of them.
"Is the job important? if I go then I have to.."
"You just calm down. Bones will take care of everything for you. You just need to prepare your personal belongings. The rest you don't have to think about." said Elston. Because he was sure Bones could solve everything.
"And one more. About your apartment, I bought it. His ownership papers will be delivered in the near future. And it's in your name."
"What's? you bought her apartment?" butwhy? why did you have to buy that apartment? Mia really did not understand what Elston was thinking. Do all conglomerates do everything at will?
"Hem. I bought it, for you. There's no excuse. Just want to." Right no? Mia would never understand Elston's path of thought. "So, what else do you need? is there anything less? if yes, then just say it."
"No. Nothing is less. It's just, why are you doing all this?" Mia is confused. Traveling suddenly without planning. Is there something he doesn't know?
"Why are you asking Mia too much? all you have to do is say thank you. That'sthat's all. Don't think about anything else." said Elston, understanding the confusion Mia showed.
"But.."
"Ssttt.I don't want to hear the word but again from your mouth. So.." Elston closed the distance. "Don't think of a reason why I'm doing all this for you again Mia. Because the answer will remain the same. Because I want to." eyes that show sincerity and dazzling smiles don't feel right at a time like this for Mia.
"Now you just need to go back to sleep, so that tomorrow morning you can clean up your stuff. I will also accompany you away." said Elston stroking gently the top of Mia's head.
"But.."
"Mia.." Elston narrowed his eyes in warning. Elston's warning made Mia smile. "I just wanted to ask. Aren't you sleeping?"
Hearing a question that Elston had not thought of before made her stumble over a happy smile. "You want me to sleep with you?" Said Elston teasingly.
"It's not so Els." Mia's face blushed. "I mean you should rest too. And I'm going back to the guest room. Thank you for your soft bed" said Mia embarrassed.
Elston held Mia's hand for a moment and then took it off reluctantly. "Sleep in my room, Mia. I'd feel safe if I saw you there. This was a command." A foreign gaze that just suddenly made Mia frown. Is that a worry? butwhy?
"But I..."
Elston hinted with his index finger so that Mia would not comment any more and only needed to go back to camp as she ordered..
"Yes yes. all right. Good night Els." Mia complies with Elston's request. He couldn't win if he argued with Elston. After all it would just be a waste of their time.
"Good night my Afrodite." replied Elston smiling happily.
"Basic witch girl. You're like my wife." Elston's heart is pounding. "Ah.. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that? Let it. What difference does it make anyway? Mia will be mine."

At three owen arrived home. "You just got back, Son?" Hilbert was waiting for his son to arrive.
"He pa. I took my things." said Owen, who was actually carrying a medium-sized suitcase. Which contains his personal belongings.
"What about your departure plan? are you really going to do it? papa meant.."
"I'm really going to go pa. Its alright. Anyway I need to calm myself down because of the problems that are happening. Let's just say this time I'm running away again" said Owen tired. "But I promise you this will be your last. Because it's.."
"It's okay Son. Papa understands. Just do what you think is good. Whatever you're dealing with right now, try to think about the positive effects instead of you just blaming yourself."
"Thank you papa."
