The Rhyme of the Depositary

100 - SEASON 2

"You're sure you're just anemic and exhausted? No other symptoms besides that?" daniel looked at Alice's pale face.

The man had just arrived at the hospital and immediately charged at Alice with many questions. His face looks worried. The graffiti on his temple deepened.

Right now, Daniel's instincts are too sensitive. He just found out there's someone out there who wants Alice. Since then, Daniel has always been easy to associate small things with the fear he has.

"For God's sake, I'm fine, Daniel. You've asked me a similar question nine times in ten minutes. What the hell are you really? It is natural for pregnant women to be exhausted and experience mild spots. Don't worry about it too much."

Alice looked at Daniel with astonished eyes. He threw his gaze at Rachel, as if wanting to ask wordlessly if Daniel was okay today.

"As a man, you're pretty easily paranoid." Rachel chimed in on Alice's answer with a targeted comment. The two women looked at Daniel with quite a strange look.

"alright. I'm just making sure." Daniel stood confused, feeling foolish by his own fears.

Alice was just exhausted. Daniel shouldn't have had much to do with Jenkinz's intentions a few days ago. Indeed, he must start to be vigilant, but that does not mean Daniel can act stupid like a traumatic person. He always connects at least to the source of his fear.

"You've already confirmed it nine times." Rachel clasped her hands in front of her chest, shaking little at Daniel's behavior.

"alright. I admit I've been worrying too easily lately. I'm sorry." A small smile was engraved on Daniel's lips, making his handsome face even more radiant.

The man actually has the aura of a super star, only Daniel is not too often aware of it. It should be easy for Daniel to hook women, create great romance, and build the perfect marriage. I don't know what's still the man's problem. Ever since he released Alice, Daniel's life goals have become increasingly unclear. It made Rachel and Alice even more worried about her situation.

"You should start acting normal and immediately look for a life partner, Daniel. Before you became a man with a strange personality. Your wife will make you more able to behave normally. Trust me."

The advice Rachel tried to give sounded serious. The atmosphere was momentarily silent, making the three of them think about those words simultaneously.

Age can run fast without us knowing it. Time can take a lot from us. Everything is like an automatic spin that is impossible to return to the starting point. A journey of life.

Daniel realized, at some point he needed a permanent harbour for his heart and life. Daniel just has to go through that process and try to open his heart to the right woman. A woman who deserves her heart and trust.

It's just, Daniel always has obstacles not easily open the heart to others. He became more introverted without even knowing it. This personality of his has long made him close the door on every possible healthy relationship. His passion and passion rarely goes to other women. Errata. Actually not that bad, considering Daniel still has a certain response every time he sees Jasmine. Merely, Jasmine was far from the target she wanted. Her attitude, background, character, and value as a woman are completely opposite to what Daniel expected.

Daniel shakes his head weakly.He starts hating himself whenever his mind focuses on Jasmine. It was as if the woman in this world only had her.

Daniel tried to dispel his thoughts by shifting his focus to something else. Damn, it didn't work. Really troublesome.

"You okay, Daniel? You seem to be getting too unfocused lately. Could it be that your workload is too heavy?" Alice asked in confusion. He blinked his eyes a few times and closed his mouth as he yawned. The sleepiness starts to attack. Being on the bed from earlier made Alice quickly sleepy.

"Yes. I've been doing more and more work lately. I'm getting offers of new projects and cooperation at some big companies."

That was the only answer Daniel was able to give right now. He stood up and walked over to look at Alice's face which still looked tired.

"It looks like you need a break, Alice. What if Daniel and I go home now? I'll visit you again in the afternoon." Rachel took a small sling bag and stood up like Daniel. They said each other's passion for Alice's recovery and bailed her out of the room.

After their departure, Alice decided to give up her sleepiness and fell asleep on the hospital bed. He does not know that secretly, Daniel contacted someone to keep Alice safe, which the man placed not far from him.

Daniel is a man who is quite careful in his actions. He never allowed himself to fall asleep in the least. Alice's safety right now was of paramount importance to him. Do not let because of his carelessness, there are parties who managed to hurt Alice and take advantage of the naivety of the woman.

…

Daniel walked down the streets of Manhattan at noon. He drives leisurely, enjoying an old nineties song from the music player in his car. His head nodded to the rhythm of the song. Sometimes he whistles a little to express himself.

Daniel should return to his office or home to work on new jobs and projects that drain the brain. Daniel's schedule has been getting stiffer lately. His sleep clock is not getting better, it is not because of his irregular activities.

If you want to admit, what is more Jasmine? Beauitiful? there are a lot of women out there who are even more beautiful. Smarty? There was a woman who was impressed cheap and shallow. Gracefully? For the sake of anything else in this world, Jasmine was far from graceful. His attitude and behavior are very contrary to existing morals. Every mother in the world has made Jasmine the worst female baromoter in the world.

So, up to this moment, Daniel himself was still wondering what the woman had so as to take her focus in such a way. Maybe he started to go crazy because he could fall for such female charms? Or is there a distinct abnormality of his psychic? I don't know.

The day was approaching lunchtime when Daniel made it to Alice's residence. He went straight into the front yard and looked for Jasmine's whereabouts. Daniel has known the ins and outs of Alice's house so he is believed to keep the security password of Alice's house. Whenever he wants, he can enter at his own pace.

Daniel's confused. He did not find the whereabouts of the woman. As Daniel begins to worry, Helena and Axel see his arrival.

"Daniel, who are you looking for? Is Alice in the hospital? Axel and I are going to see him for a minute." Helena looks confused to welcome the arrival of Daniel at this time.

"Oh, I'm just looking for Jasmine. Where's she?" ask Daniel frankly.

Helena was seen hiding a small smile. Daniel has managed to become a source of gossip among servants lately if the man had a chance to have me close to Jasmine.

A waiter is a person who always knows every rumor that is circulating. They are like extra sharp ears that always carry the ins and outs of their employer's household. Many secret cases are leaked because of the behavior of the servants. Luckily, Alice's residence has loyal people. There were only a few who dared to stab from behind. Please, for example.

"He's in the back pool."

"Color? What's he doing?"

Helena did not give any answers. He left Daniel just like that by holding Axel to the front yard. Pablo, the family's private driver, has been waiting for Helena to go to the hospital.

Daniel knew clearly where the back pool was meant by Helena. He walked straight towards it with a slight grumble.

What's Jasmine in the pool for? Autumn air is not suitable air to be used as a friend of swimming activities in open ponds. There are still one or two people who like outdoor activities, but usually in this season many people will choose to soak in warm water in jazucci, jazucci, instead of drowning with the autumn cold.

Daniel's steps stopped right on the side of the pool. All the doubts and question marks he had stopped when he saw Jasmine swimming in two meters of cold water in a skimpy swimsuit. The thin and wet material makes the fabric stick tighter in its beautiful body. Her shoulder-length blonde hair looked beautiful dancing in the transparent depths of the water.

Jasmine's movements looked extremely stable. He swam in the butterfly style so that the woman was not too aware of the presence of Daniel who was right behind her.

Instead of saying hello and telling her whereabouts, Daniel sat in a pool chair that felt a little wet. On his side was a used towel that likely belonged to Jasmine.

Daniel looked at Jasmine's gleaming movements that dabbled merrily through the water. The wind did not make the woman stop her activities. The movement is flexible, like a natural goddess fused together with a soulmate.

Is beautiful. Gracefully. Those were the first two words that came to Daniel's head. The Jasmine movement is a dance that matches the autumn melody. It's full of strength and guts. Absolutely perfect. Daniel had never seen such a beautiful dance before, even from professional dancers.

As Jasmine had managed to arrive at the end of the pond, she raised her body and shook her head several times to remove the water that was on her head. A while later, Jasmine turned around to swim back in the opposite direction.

It took Jasmine two seconds to realize the whereabouts of Daniel who was now facing her directly across the pond. For a moment, their eyes locked onto each other. All the focus they had stopped in that second as well and left only shadows of each other in their eyepiece.

Jasmine's mouth felt muddled. He never felt this long in front of a man. Even if he wanted to realize, he still wore a swimsuit as his protector. But the cloth he was wearing felt unable to protect him at all from Daniel's sharp eyes.

"What are you doing here?" jasmine asked softly, resembling a whisper.

For Chrissakes. Jasmine had done anything to men and had been treated at all. Merely, seeing Daniel's gaze like this, made Jasmine seem to lose her footing.

"See you." Daniel answered the question Jasmine asked by looking at the woman's lips.

They kept quiet for a long time. No one chose to move anymore to remove this awkwardness.
