The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 64 - Erick Rewards

Emma wriggled over her bed, the woman blinked her eyes several times before turning her position to sit. Emma felt she had slept long enough, but she still felt drowsiness.

Emma breathed out her heavy breath, her body feeling limp and powerless.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

The sound of knocking made Emma immediately put on her sleeping robe.

"Who?!" asked Emma in a lazy-sounding tone.

"I'm Miss!" said Lidya, the woman looks quite panicked because she also just woke up from her sleep, she was just afraid just in case Emma scolded her for being undisciplined.

"Lake in!"

Hearing Emma's orders make Lidya immediately open the door of the room that is not in the key, he can see Emma is still on top of her bed with a distinctive face wake up and hair that looks a little messy.

"Miss just woke up?" ask Lidya who is actually relieved.

Emma simply nodded slowly, "Prepare warm water for me, I want to take a bath."

"Well Miss," Lidya hurriedly walked into the bathroom, although she actually objected that she was not a maid. Lidya was a bodyguard who served to protect, not to serve.

But what can I do? He couldn't possibly fight back if he still wanted his job. After all, it was only her that Arthur had ordered to accompany Emma while she was at this base.

Emma glanced at her watch lying on the table, the time already showing at half 8 am. Emma was increasingly confused because she had never been so sound when sleeping in a new place let alone uncomfortable as now, there was no AC with a bed that was not hard, really uncomfortable.

But strangely last night he suddenly felt very sleepy then fell asleep like a dead man.

Emma immediately got up from her bed, she stepped out of the room and walked to Nathan's room. Emma wants to take Nathan to breakfast together if he hasn't had breakfast.

His footsteps halted as he passed through the room occupied by Davira, fearing that Davira would precede him, he immediately opened the room to make sure that Davira was still inside.

But there is no Davira figure in there, only looks like a medium-sized bed that is still messy and also a closet.

"Damn, is Davira in Nathan's room?" he mumbled feeling annoyed.

Emma hurried out of the room and knocked on Nathan's door.

"It's me! Nathan, are you inside?!" Emma kept knocking on the door, but no answer made her instantly open the door that turned out not to be in the lock without a second thought.

Emma is stunned at her place when she sees Nathan's empty room springing up, no Davira, no Paul, and no Nathan.

Emma felt uncomfortable, she started running small and opened all the doors in the hallway one by one. And there was no one he found, he did not see Jakob or any of Jakob's men he saw yesterday.

"Are they having breakfast?" inner confusion.

"Yeah!"

Emma was aghast in shock when she saw Rolan who was already in front of her as she turned around.

"You surprised me" Emma rubbed her chest.

"Miss just woke up?" asked Rolan watching Emma's clothes.

"Yes, where are Nathan and Paul? They're having breakfast?"

Rolan was silent for a while, he already knew that Emma would definitely inquire about Nathan's whereabouts. And Rolan had to tell a lie because he couldn't possibly refuse Nathan's request.

"Mr Jonathan and Paul were gone, before sunrise they had gone, they seemed to be in a hurry."

Rolan's answer certainly made Emma's eyes widen.

"Whatchu mean? Where's nathan going?!" emma's face immediately panicked.

"Master said that he was going back to Rome, Miss," replied Rolan who looked so convincing.

Emma clenched her hands, "How could she just leave me?!"

"Sorry Miss, but Sir does look very hasty. Maybe Mr. Jonathan just didn't want to wake Miss who was sleeping so well, Mr. Jonathan just told me to tell Miss this."

Emma felt very upset and angry to hear it, she felt unacceptable because Nathan left her just like that, he had come all the way to this place just to see Nathan and bring him back to Rome together. But Nathan came back without him.

"What was the matter of urgency until Nathan rushed back to Rome? Didn't Nathan say yesterday he won't be back anytime soon? There must be something in Rome that makes him have to come back," his mind then remembered with Davira.

"Where is Davira now? She's coming with Nathan?" ask Emma while she's holding her chest.

Rolan thinks hard because Nathan doesn't give him any orders as to what he has to say to Emma about Davira's whereabouts. But seeing from Emma's attitude, Rolan knows that Emma hates Davira and the woman likes Nathan.

"I don't know for sure Miss, Mr. Nathan left with Mr. Jakob's entourage. Either they will go to Rome, or to a different place. I don't know who Miss Davira was coming with because I didn't deliver their departure all the way to the front. So I don't see Miss Davira getting into whose car."

"Arghh really isn't becus!" emma was feeling very emotional.

"Miss, the warm water is ready," said Lidya approached.

Emma looked at him in anger, "Just throw it away! I won't take a shower, prepare for my departure right now. We're back in Rome now!"

Lidya frowned, "But why Miss?"

"Just do what I tell you!" Emma immediately brought her footsteps back to her room.

Emma begins to open her suitcase and changes her clothes in a fit of annoyance at being abandoned by Nathan, and she fears that Davira might return with Nathan to Rome.

Suddenly he heard the ringing sound of his phone, seeing the name listed made him immediately connect the call.

"Emma, where are you?"

"I'm in Saltykovka" Emma replied as she brushed her hair.

"Let me guess, you're following Nathan?"

"Of course, but now he's leaving me. He's back in Rome without me!"

"What?! You abandoned?"

"Yes, Erick. But it seemed like he did have some very urgent business. Now that I'm getting ready to go back to Rome, can you help me? I need you to find out if Nathan's with Davira or not, because I think my flight will be far from them."

"I don't think it matters right now, Emma. There's more important things and it's urgent, things that could put your life at risk."

Emma's body suddenly stiffened to hear it, there was a sense of restlessness that now enveloped her.

"What do you mean, Erick?"

"The man managed to escape, he went from Rome, where he went, he was swallowed by the earth. But relax, Emma. I'll find him, and I'll make sure he can't talk."

"How did he get rid of Erick? How could he just leave Rome?!" emma's voice was raised again, now fear was approaching her.

"Didn't you say you'd get everything done for me? But why did he miss?!"

"Emma calm down, I'll find her, I promise. I won't let you in danger, this is why you should think before you do that stupid thing."

Emma clucked in annoyance, her breathing heard hunting.

"Don't hunt me down, Erick. I need proof of what you're saying, you really need to clear things up!"

Erick who was on the balcony of his apartment was now stunned for a moment to think about what things he had been doing for Emma, even now she's involved in something that would drag her name around and certainly endanger her life just for Emma.

Whereas if she manages to clean up the mess created by Emma, the woman is still chasing after Nathan's love and now it seems like she's just a messenger boy.

Emma frowned because there was no word from Erick.

"Erick's? Are you listening to me?"

"Of course I'm listening to you, Emma. I was just thinking about what I would get if I helped you solve this problem."

"You-you mean?" Emma was panicking.

"My point is, everything I do for you is in vain. I'm sorting out your problems just like I made it easier for you to stay close friends with Nathan. You're gonna keep loving her, and I? Am I just playing your errand boy here?"

"What did you say Erick? Are you drunk? You're not my errand boy, are we friends?"

There was a sound of laughter across the street, Emma felt more and more anxious.

"Look, Emma. I'm not drunk, and I'll offer you something. I don't want to do anything without reciprocity anymore."

Emma took a deep breath trying to stay calm.

"What do you really want?"

"To you, I want you to be mine. Then I'll make sure your problem is over, I'll really solve it because I have to protect you. So how's Emma? I don't want to protect you as a friend let alone your bodyguard. But I want to protect you as a lover, is my request too difficult?"

Nathan drove up his car at a moderate pace, occasionally staring at Davira sitting next to him. The woman grew colder, did not talk much and completely limited physical and eye contact with her.

But Nathan can still be a little patient, he is sure that Davira's attitude will warm up to him again.

The wind blows fiercely, Davira's hair looks flying around so beautifully because the car they use today is the type of car without a roof.

Behind him is a black car driven by Paul, he accidentally asked his friend to prepare two cars for them because he wanted to drive himself.

"They're who?" asked Davira when Nathan slowed down the speed of his car because there were 5 cars in front of him that were seen approaching.

"They are my friends" Nathan answered, making Davira frown.

"You have friends?"

Nathan chuckled, "Maybe I have to correct my words, they are the ones I personally work with, with the personal business I hold and run myself. Even my family didn't know that I had business relationships with these people in the Dominican Republic."

Nathan looked at Davira's face and smoothed the woman's hair.

"I left all the evidence to them, and they kept it very safe. Get ready, you'll see all the truth in a minute."

Davira just stayed in place with a heart that felt pounding. He was impatient to know all his courage, but he was also afraid.

Davira is afraid that Nathan is lying to her, but she is also afraid that Damian is the culprit behind the massacre.
