The Rhyme of the Depositary

120 - SEASON 2

Alice sat on a chair in front of the dresser. He looked at the mirror before him with a faint look. Right now his mind has been floating around. His heart was in a frenzy, and his feelings were uncertain.

Alice's instinct may not be as sophisticated as Jasmine and William's. But that does not mean that Alice's instinct is not there at all.

Alice realized lately, both Jasmine and William, they were all increasing the security even increasing the number of bodyguards present in this house. Alice is not a fool. He could distinguish the number of guards before and could discern the number of security and bodyguards that were in his house had now multiplied by many times.

Something must have happened, but I don't know what. Jasmine and William may be trying to hide this reality from Alice. Perhaps, they thought Alice would be burdened if she knew the truth.

It was impossible for nothing to happen, but Jasmine and William were busy improving the myriad security methods that existed in this house and the security methods that equipped Alice wherever Alice was now going. What threats have they received about him? So think that the situation of Ali is now in danger.

Ali was wondering what danger was threatening him, so Jasmine and William hid this fact from him. Could the danger be too great? So they do not want to risk Alice anxious and feel excessive worry, because she is pregnant?

It had been thought for Alice to speak to either Jasmine or William directly. He did not want to be treated like a child, whose every danger was always hidden from him. Alice is an adult. He has experienced many ups and downs of life, experienced the bitter sweetness of life, and experienced many unpleasant things in this life. By knowing the danger early, perhaps Alice could be more vigilant from an early age.

But Alice abandoned her intentions. If he asked William and Jasmine, perhaps they wouldn't be frank with him. They were both very protective of Alice. So that if there is a threatening danger because they will prefer to cover the danger from him. And protect her in a secret way.

Alice was silent for a long time in front of the dresser mirror and thought about a lot of things about what she should do? She could not keep quiet while Jasmine and William were busy protecting her.

After thinking about all this, Alice finally made up her mind. D!he would better protect himself, use all the facilities at his side, and equip himself with any weapon Jasmine had ever given him.

That way, if at any time there is a danger feared by Jasmine and William, at least Alice can help protect herself without too much trouble them.

Alice then remembered something. He immediately took his cell phone not far from him and contacted someone he really wanted.

Deftly, he scrolled the phone towards a contact he was very familiar with. Rachels.

"Hello, Rachel?" Alice asked, starting the conversation on her mobile phone.

"Hi, Alice. How are you?" Reply Rachel over there.

Since Maxen's return from prison, Rachel and Alice have rarely seen each other in person. Rachel is busy spending time with her husband, after a long time the two of them are separated by circumstances.

As a friend, Alice understood this. She knew what it was like to part with her husband for so long and had little access to her husband. It must have been hard for Rachel all this time. So naturally, when Maxen comes home, Rachel tries to make up for all the time she has to be with him.

"I'm fine, Alice. Very happy and satisfied. How are you doing with your husband?" Are you both okay?" ask Alice to Rachel.

Across there, Rachel slightly blushed in embarrassment. He feels lately he has been ignoring Alice after Maxen's return from prison. They are very familiar friends. Rachel felt like a careless friend.

"Come, Rachel. Klayver hasn't come back yet and hasn't given me any news yet. I just hope he doesn't have any significant difficulties." Alice answered as she was.

Rachel is a person who really understands Alice's situation and has always been a place for Alice to complain since ancient times. Their relationship never changed. Alice hoped that in the future they would continue like this. He needs a friend with a strong foundation like Rachel in this life.

"Oh, Oh my God. I'm sorry to hear that." Rachel's getting bad. When Maxen came home and she was spending time with her husband, Alice was now languishing because the husband left her.

Clayver was a very complex man. Both Maxen and Rachel, they agree Klayver is hiding his true identity. But Rachel didn't want to go too far about Klayver. For her, as long as Alice was happy, then whoever accompanied her friend's life would receive Rachel with open arms.

"It's okay, Racel. You don't have to feel guilty. I just need a place to share right now." Alice began to bring Rachel to the talking point.

Rachel, who knew Alice was starting to raise a serious topic, looked for a comfortable position on the sofa and confirmed the location of her phone to listen to what Alice really wanted to convey.

"What's wrong? You can tell me everything. Any critical issues? Your attempt's bankrupt? Money disappeared? Theft? Or what?"

Both of Alice's eyes twirled crazily at the question posed by her friend. Is Rachel's imagination that high in thinking about something? Even wildly Alice, she had never thought of such a detail.

Company insolvent? Just be right. Alice is an investor and businessman who is very careful in putting his capital and always assess the latest market about what properties are selling at the moment. Bankruptcy will only occur if Alice commits recklessness, or there is a crisis, or maybe suddenly her confidants leave by holding half of her shares. What seems to happen if it happens is quite extreme.

"It seems your delusion is getting more and more perfect, Rachel. Why don't you guess I'll just fly to the moon?" ask Alice to be inflamed.

Rachel was the same way before. His mouth is easy to say by himself. Alice was forced to listen to all her senseless babbling. Long ago, even Rachel had expressed all her dreams in front of the class for an hour when the lesson about deepening the character so that one class was forced not to get part of the ration because the time had been taken by Rachel's unimportant babble.

"Uh, are you going to the moon? Even oxygen is difficult there. Gravity is not the same here. You need a long adjustment to be there. After all, there was no area at all there. Why move if you're just gonna live a single life without a clear social life?" rachel asked half a grumble.

"I'm just making a mark, don't take it too hard, Alice. What the hell is it? You have a problem? Obstacles? What's?" rachel asked curiously.

Alice remained silent for a long time. He played his fingers and re-thought whether it was wise to share them with Rachel. Rachel is his friend, but is it worth it to keep complaining to him? Hasn't Rachel helped her with things often enough?

"Alice, are you still there? Hey, I'm not an automatic machine that can faithfully listen to the air forever and you can ignore it at will." Rachel issued her protest.

"Emh .. Rachel ...."

Alice was doubtful. He was worried about telling the truth or not.

"Tell me, Alice. I'm your friend. Forever. What's the point of a friend if you can't help in difficult times and can't be a place to complain?" Rachel persuades Alice. He caught the anxiety Alice felt.

For Rachel, Alice was like her own sister. Any difficulty that the woman has also means being her predicament. The sadness that the woman has will also be her sadness.

Rachel hoped Alice could remain open to her, just like before. Rachel doesn't want their relationship to be tinged with awkwardness. They've been through good and bad things together for years.

"I think I'm in danger." Alice finally chose to be open to Rachel.

Rachel who heard this could only remain silent for a long time. He needed some time to describe what Alice was saying.

The danger?

Alice in danger? Rachel rubbed her forehead in confusion. He made sure his ears didn't hear wrong.

"You're in danger? Whatchu mean?" rachel asked, repeating what Alice said.

"I mean, lately Jasmine and William have been overprotective of me. They increased the number of bodyguards and home security, and kept me extra tight. But they didn't come out to me exactly what was going on. Do you think I'm okay? "Ask Alice with a little contemplation.

Rachel who heard it could only remain silent for a long time. What was said was something Rachel had never expected before. William and Jasmine are special people to look after Alice. If until the two of them increased the security and the number of bodyguards around Alice, then that meant that something must have happened. Rachel's instincts and Alice's instincts work simultaneously. They both knew there must be a reason for its own that Jasmine and William were trying to hide. Merely, the two people somehow had the intention to hide this from Alice.

"I thought something must have happened. Your instincts are working fine, Alice. If nothing happens, it's impossible for them to both increase the security around you. But roughly, what do you think could have happened to their concern?" Rachel asked back.

Alice and Rachel were both silent. Alice tried to remember what had happened lately. He hoped, there was a clue he could take about what kind of danger he was facing right now. But after thinking for a long time, Alice did not find a good reason. He lived his days normally, there was no movement he could take as a clue and could direct him to the instinct he now had.

"It seems like I'm living my days normally, Rachel. So, I have no clue at all about what's going on right now." Alice was clearly a little confused.

" Let's think again, Alice. Maybe you haven't found a clue yet. But surely you can dig deeper into what's been going on lately. Impossible is there no clue at all? "Rachel was also confused to respond.

If bad things happen, there must have been a sign before. Whether it's the little things, or the things that can just happen around us. It is impossible for something to happen suddenly. So, right now it's best for Alice to think back to what she's been through lately. Maybe he has been followed by someone, or noticed by strangers, or something like that.

"No, Rachel. I didn't get any leads at all .. Maybe I should rethink all this. Or, do you think I'd better ask Jasmine and William?" alice began to doubt.

Alice had no intention of asking either Jasmine or William. The two of them must have hidden this fact well so that Alice would not have to worry. But come to think of it, there was no way for Alice if she wanted to know unless she asked them directly. Whether the two of them will be honest with Alice or not, it seems like it is worth a try.

"I think only the two of them can explain everything to you, Alice. So, inevitably you have to ask them directly. That was my input, what if I communicate this to Maxen? Who knows, my husband can help you?" bargain Rachel sincerely.

Alice was worried. Actually, he doesn't really like Maxen much. Their past makes Alice a little mismatched with Maxen. After all, he was the one who killed Anson first. But judging from the current situation that began to be precarious, it seemed like he had to accept Rachel's offer. She needs people around her to help her and to protect Axel, her son.

Alice cannot be selfish. He had Axen relying on him in full. If anything happens to Alice, Axel's safety will also be threatened. So, the only way now was to utilize what was around her to defend Alice and protect her only son.

" Is that okay? "Ask Alie a little bad.

"It's okay, Alice. Maxen is better now than ever. He has a greater humanity than before he went to prison. I think Maxen can certainly provide solutions and provide additional assistance for me. Isn't that best for you and Axel right now?" Rachel sounds sincere.

Finally, Alice gave up on her friend's offer.

"Alright, Rachel. Do what you think is good."
