Throne Heir

The 154 eps

At that time, Rachel was immediately made so confused as to answer what. Because it felt, after he knew Antony's previous feelings for him, it was impossible if he could return to friends.

"Why do you want us to be friends after I let you down for preferring Arsen?"

"Whatever you choose right now, that's what's best for you, so I'm not going to question everything that you think is good. But to be honest, I never felt what it was like to have a friend or close friend, because since childhood, my parents seemed to have wanted to prepare me to manage the family business, so there's no more time to play." Clearly Antony while starting to show a soft smile.

"It's so sad." Rachel sings slowly.

"Yes, you're right. Since childhood I've been feeling lonely, no friends, no affection for both parents who prefer to occupy themselves in the company, really sad right?" Antony finally started to chuckle, although from the look of his eyes it was clear if he felt so sad.

Rachel was silent for a moment to look at Antony's face, for a moment she saw the sincerity of Antony's face, but on the other hand, she was also quite wary, Rachel was afraid if she was friends with Antony, and she was very worried, Arsen will misunderstand and may get angry with him.

"But, isn't it with you who are like you now, there are many people who are willing to be your friends? Not only friends, even women must have many who want to be close to you."

"You are right, have a brilliant career, money, and known and respected by many people, of course, not a few people who look for face in front of me in order to be friends and close to me. But, it's not those kind of people that I'm looking to make friends with. Sometimes, people like me also want to be considered ordinary once in a while, not always associated with how much wealth I have today. And I see a figure like that, it's in you." Obviously Antony again so calmly and looked back at Rachel with a faint smile.

"Me??!" Rachel immediately pointed to herself as if in disbelief.

"Yes you, somehow, I feel so comfortable when I'm around you. The way you talk, your personality, and your lifestyle don't just want to look well, everything you have, I love it. So I was thinking, if you can't get you as my life partner, at least give me a chance to be your friend."

"Do I just accept it? Because I don't think it's wrong to expand friendships." Rachel muttered in her heart.

Rachel finally smiled, then nodded slowly as a sign of agreement.

"Did that nod mean you agreed to be my friend?" Ask Antony to make sure,

"Yes." Yeah." Rachel replied, widening her smile.

"Thank you" Antony smiled.

Again Rachel chose to answer him with a nod.

"But what makes me want? Are you not suspicious of me? I mean, aren't you afraid I'm gonna set you up to ruin your relationship with Arsen?" Antony looked back at Rachel meaningfully.

"Eem to be honest, at first I had such thoughts, but...."

"But what?!" Antony began to squint his eyes.

"But somehow, I felt the sincerity from the look in your eyes. And I hope what I think is true."

"Thank you, your answer flattered me enough."

"Haaish, doesn't that sound excessive?" Rachel finally chuckled.

They also began to talk lightly about many things, ranging from childhood, to about the business relationship they are now living. Without feeling the time was so fast passing and had entered the lunch hour.

"Rachel, how was the gift I gave you at your wedding? Do you like it?"

"Gift?" Ask Rachel who had just finished sipping the rest of the drink.

"Yes, a gift, a wedding present from me. Why is it from your answer like you don't know it yet?"

"Oh hehehe yes indeed I haven't opened those gifts, I haven't even received one."

"meaning?"

"All gifts are still in the hotel, stored in a room. I haven't had time for that,"

"Emm so it looks." Antony just nodded.

The other side of the apartment...

Arsen seemed to start to restlessly wait for the return of Rachel who had been gone for hours. Various ways have been done to divert the mind and satiety, ranging from busy themselves in the workspace, watching TV, to doing work out at the mini gym in the apartment.

"It's 1 o'clock, why haven't you been home yet?" Arsen asked inwardly as he glanced towards the wall clock hanging on one of the walls in the living room.

"Is he really angry? But, why is he the one who turned mad at me? Didn't she realize I was like this because she's been cheating on me for months." He muttered again as he continued to walk back and forth in front of the door.

Not long after, the bell rang.

*TingTong*

Hearing that, Arsen hurried to step towards the door,

"Finally home too!" Then open the door without peeking first in the hole in the door.

It was unexpected, it turned out that what came was not what Arsen had expected, not Rachel, but a man in uniform who he knew was the uniform of his hotel.

"Good day young master." His face while bowing his body.

Arsen, who was initially made a little stunned because what came was not what he expected, finally returned to his usual attitude and returned his greeting.

"Honey, what brings you here?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your leisurely time young master, but I've come here to deliver all the wedding gifts that are still left in the hotel, this is on the orders of the great lord Benzie."

"Oh, um, where's the prize?"

A man immediately patted his hands as if giving a code, then soon appeared the hotel employees who came in droves with various types of gifts in his hands.

"Yaa, letakkan saja di sana." Perintah Arsen sembari menunjuk ke arah sofa yang ada di ruang tamu.

"Good young master."

The sofa that was originally empty, in about a minute, was already seen filled with piles of gifts of various shapes and colors.

"Is it all?"

"Young master, we'll excuse you."

Arsen nodded briefly. He looked back at the pile of presents on the sofa, then closed the door again and began to approach the sofa.

"Why so much?" His chirps alone as he started grabbing one of the presents and looked at it.

As if he was in no mood to open it at that moment, Arsen put back the gift box he was holding.

"Why should I bother opening it? Let him open it himself." Then again who again felt annoyed at Rachel who had not yet returned home.

But just wanted to move, Arsen's eyes accidentally stared at one of the gift boxes that were large enough, on it was tucked in a greeting card and the name of the sender. Arsen calmly grabbed the card and read it.

"Whatever your choice, may you continue to be the one who is always happy in life" he wrote.

But Arsen immediately squinted his eyes as he read the name of the sender which read "Antony Yue"

"Huh, that guy! Is he still not desperate!" Ketus Arsen while starting to look at the greeting card he holds.

Not wanting to waste any longer, Arsen immediately opened the gift box given by Antony. Inside there is a bag from one of the world's famous brands which is a limited edition bag, there is also a clock that is also known as one of the famous and most expensive watch brands, and the most expensive, and lastly there is also a diamond necklace in the box there is also the brand name of the necklace itself which is also known as the best brand in the city.

Finished looking at all the contents, Arsen again snorted in annoyance and again put the items roughly into his box.

"Well, what's wrong, the one getting married is me and Rachel, but all this stuff is just for Rachel. That guy still hasn't given up either!!"

Arsen closed the box again, then started lifting it.

"I can't let it go, I can buy you much more expensive stuff than this." He then brought the box into his study.

Arsen stuffed the gift box into the trash can inside his study.

...Seriate......
