THE PASSION OF THE CEO

CHAPTER 33. GUARDING DEANDRA

Verrel came with a tray filled with a bowl of porridge, what a rare sight. He approached and placed the tray on the nightstand. Sitting at the bedside and bringing her face closer to deandra's face and whispering softly right in front of Deandra's lips “You should eat and take medicine.”

Deandra was embarrassed, thinking that the man would kiss her until she closed her eyes and waited. But it turns out he was wrong. He saw Verrel was currently stirring the porridge on the tray. “Let's open your mouth,” said Verrel but not answered by the dreamy Deandra.

“Hemmm...you're in opposition again! If you don't open your mouth, I'll open it my way,” said Verrel making the girl scowl like a little boy scolded by her father. That expression caught Verrel's attention.  “Come. Open your mouth, you must eat.” Persuade Verrel.

Deandra opened her mouth, accepting the first bribe the man gave her.  His attitude now began to change, the warm taste of the porridge made Deandra feel better. He opened his mouth again while Verrel was still blowing the porridge in the bowl. He looked at Verrel's face which looked soft and more human.  Yes, he no longer looks like a cruel demon, but an angel.  The angel? Deandra's helper angel who takes the form of a cruel and sadistic man.

When Verrel thrust a spoon filled with porridge, not responded by Deandra who was daydreaming. “Do you want to use my way to open your mouth?” verrel asked who answered with deandra's head.

“Why? Don't you like it, baby?” asked seductively the girl.

“Aakk...” said Deandra opened her mouth, verrel smiled broadly at her child-like behavior.  Bribe by bribe he received until all the porridge was finished.  Verrel wiped his lips with a tissue and thrust a glass filled with hot tea.  Deandra felt her body refreshed and better.

“Can I ask you something, sir?”

“Ya, ask what?”

“Do you let me out? I feel bored in the room continue.”

“No. Can't.” says Verrel.

“Why? I feel bored doing nothing.”

“What do you want to do? Are you tired of being in my room?” ask Verrel.

“I want to go for a walk, looking for fresh air.” he said with a pleading look.

“Wait until you recover. I'll take you for a walk,”

Huh.I want to go out and take a walk with Rosa. Haven't seen him in a long time.  What reason is it to be allowed to go out?

“But I want to meet my best friend Rosa. I beg you, baby,” intentionally he called her dear, he must be devastated he thought.

“Pleasee....can yes, dear. I want to see Rosa after that I go straight home.” with a made-up face while pursing her lips. Making Verrel unable to bear the look of the girl's expression, he finally nodded his head in agreement.

“You will be escorted by driver and bodyguard to take care of you.” said Verrel gave conditions that can not be refused.  Deandra who had wanted to go out the streets immediately agreed.  Rather than not being able to get out at all, I might go crazy locked up, he thought.

“You can come out tomorrow. But you have to come back before I get home from the office.”

“Good. Thank you, dear.” he said while hugging Verrel. ‘It's okay to woo the important little I can out.’  Soon she called Rosa to ask her to meet tomorrow.  Rosa who got a call from Deandra was very happy to see her best friend again.

“Now take your medicine, then rest.”

“Alright.” take the medicine Verrel gave and take it.  He laid his body back which was still tired.  He saw Verrel walking out of his room, and soon entered again with a laptop.  He climbed into the bed and sat down with his laptop on his lap.

“Do you not go to the office today?” ask Deandra wonder.

“No. I was at home with you.” he said while landing the kiss of the girl.  ‘Yes, God why is his attitude so sweet? My heart is pounding. What is wrong with you, my heart? He doesn't look creepy anymore. His face was very handsome, he muttered in his heart while raising his head to look at the face of Verrel who was focusing on his laptop.

Geck! Geck! Tok

A knock on the door of Deandra's room sounded, the door opened and Yuna stepped in.

“Sorry, Sir, Miss if I disturb.”

“I want to talk to Sir. Important.” Yuna said with a facial expression that Verrel had understood that the butler wanted to talk outside.  Verrel waved his hand as a gesture. Yuna left the room.

“I stay a while. Sleep.” said Verrel while stroking Deandra's head.

“What's up?” verrel asked when he was in the living room on the bottom floor. With a sharp gaze pointed at the two maids who were working on cleaning the room, hinting them to leave from there.

“Sorry, Sir. It's about last night.”

“You mean?”

“What befell Young Miss is-” her sentence was interrupted, Yuna took a slow breath. Breathe in and try to think of the right words.

“There are deliberately wanting to hurt Young Miss,”

“Who? Where is that guy now?” yelled Verrel furiously.

“Mira. One of the servants, sir. But I've already dealt with it.” Then Yuna told her master everything. 

“Damn it? You brash waitress!” both hands clenched.  Yuna already knew that the great master would be angry if anyone tried to injure the young lady.  He could see if the girl was very special to his master.

“He's been taken to the basement, sir.”

Verrel hurriedly headed to the basement that was behind the main house. Pass through a garden with a pond to get to a small building which is the entrance to the underground chamber.  No servants were allowed to enter the area. Two bodyguards were already standing waiting for the great master in the room.  Seen a woman with a terrible condition, blood dried from the lash marks on her body, lying helplessly on the floor.

Verrel looked at him sharply full of anger. “Thank him!” the order is on the bodyguard. The two bodyguards held the two servants' arms to stand.  With a weak look in his eyes he looked towards the great master who looked extremely angry.

Plaque! Plaque!

A hard slap landed on both cheeks of the servant. The corner of the servant's lips was bleeding.

“How dare you want to harm that girl!” snapped it.

“A—ampun, Sir,” he said in a weak voice.

“Whoever dares to touch it, I will finish!”

The servant's body trembled in fear, his life would now end because of his own actions. His tears flowed down his face.  Even asking for forgiveness is meaningless, because the great master never gives a second chance to anyone.

“You know what to do. Get rid of him!” verrel's orders on both bodyguards.  He walked away from the basement and when he got to the main house he called Yuna.

“YUNA!!! his yell.

“I face, Mr.” replied Yuna who was already waiting for her master.

“Supervise all the maids in this house. Don't let it happen again.”

“Good, Sir. All master's orders will I carry out,” he replied politely.

“One more. Assign Tami and Alya to take care of the girl.  Other than them, no servant can enter the room.” He doesn't want anyone else to hurt Deandra again.

“Good, Sir. If there is nothing else I can do, I am licensed to continue the work.” Yuna said as she backed off and walked away.

Verrel simply replied with a hand gesture that the butler had already understood.
