Throne Heir

Eps 167s

The car that Rachel and Antony were riding in finally arrived in front of the restaurant lobby. Rachel paused for a moment while staring doubtfully at the restaurant.

"Antony, I'd better not eat, I'm so bad for your client."

"It's okay, anyway it's just a regular lunch,"

Before long Antony's personal assistant opened the door for them, Rachel slowly got out of the car and was followed by Antony. Antony's client arrived first, and he and his staff ordered the food first.

"Why are you so long Mr. Antony?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Maher." Antony smiled too.

"And, who is this?" Mr. Maher glanced at Rachel and looked at her from toe to hair.

"Oh yeah, this is Rachel Chou, she's my friend, as well as being a business partner." It was clearly Antony who was smiling back looking at Rachel.

"And Rachel, it's Mr. Maher, he's my new client from Suriname."

"Hallo Mr, Maher, nice to meet you," Rachel also kindly extended her hand towards Mr. Maher.

"Oh hello Rachel, Nice to meet you too. You look so beautiful, almost perfect." Said Mr. Maher with his sparkling face.

"Oh hehe thanks." Rachel smiled and pulled back her hand.

Finally they sat back down, lunch passed peacefully and always interspersed with light discussions. Mr. Maher seems again to be so amazed at the person of Rachel who is pleasant, not only beautiful in appearance, even from the body and the way she speaks, is enough to make her interlocutor feel comfortable.

"Hey dude, I think she's gorgeous, are you sure just want to be her friend?" Whisper Mr. Maher on Antony.

Because according to Mr. Maher, a girl as beautiful as Rachel is impossible if Antony does not have a sense of attraction to her.

"Oh no no, she is married." It was clearly Antony who was still putting on a thin smile as usual.

"Oh really?!" Mr. Maher seems quite surprised to find out that Rachel is married.

"Rachel, are you really getting married?!" Ask Mr. Maher again.

"Oh, yes, I just got married." Answer Rachel clearly.

"Oh god, I'm so surprised hahaha."

Rachel and Antony smiled.

Shortly after lunch is over, Mr. Maher said back to the hotel first, because he felt very tired because since landing, he had not had enough rest. While Antony, choosing to stay at the restaurant with Rachel, because according to him, there are still things he should talk about.

Antony also ordered his personal assistant to return to the office, so that he could more freely talk with Rachel.

"So, what's really going on?" Antony asked suddenly as the others were gone.

"Well?!" Rachel was confused.

"As your friend, can I find out what happened? Why were you crying on the side of the road? And, why was all my gift returned?"

"Nothing," Rachel replied lethargicly and began to fall back down.

Making Antony who heard it instantly again snorted and smiled faintly.

"Still trying to cover it up from me. Since seeing your different attitude this morning, it made me start thinking, there must be something in your relationship. Can I know?"

Rachel finally returned moody, staring blankly at the glass wall next to her, and began to tell her what had happened to her and Arsen.

"So, he hasn't been able to forgive you for that?" Antony asked who was also quite surprised.

Rachel just nodded slowly.

"But isn't that too much? And you, how can you survive with such a person?!" Antony asked who seemed annoyed.

"Liarly however, this is still my fault, so inevitably I have to accept it. There were a lot of gifts that he had prepared for me, I mean when he still knew me as Bella. So, when I found out that Bella was just a fiction, and that I was Rachel, her little best friend, I thought it was natural that she felt very confused and must be angry." Clearly Rachel is still trying to keep her husband's good name.

"But, no matter what..."

"Ya, biar bagaimana pun juga dia sudah menjadi suamiku saat ini, jadi aku tidak mau orang lain menganggapnya buruk." Tegas Rachel.

Rachel's words that time immediately made Antony could only be silent looking at him.

"Oh yeah, is there a vacancy in your office?" Rachel asked suddenly.

"The tunnel?"

"Eemm" Rachel replied as she nodded.

"It's not easy to get into my office, it takes a lot of rigorous selection, because I just want the best of the good." Antony replied casually.

"Eeemm so yes, those words of yours, are exactly what CEO Blue Light once said to me." Rachel chuckled again.

"really?" Antony smiled.

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's hard to believe, but I still have something in common with him. I thought all this time, Arsen and I only had one thing in common,"

"What's that?" Rachel asked who was starting to wonder.

"Sama-sama mencintai orang yang sama." Jawab Antony secara gamblang.

Making Rachel stunned with a gaze that instantly turned awkward.

"Why are you talking about it again? Didn't we agree to be friends?" Asked Rachel who came back feeling clumsy and awkward.

"I'm sorry, I crossed the line again. I'm sorry."

Rachel just kept quiet and chose a short smile and then started grabbing her drink glass,

"Oh yeah, who wants to apply for a job?" Antony's question shifted the conversation.

"Huh?! You?!"

"Yes, Arsen Lim told me that he had decided to fire me as his secretary. So I decided to find another job that would fill my free time. But, when I heard your answer earlier, I guess I was immediately pessimistic because I felt I wasn't so good hehehe."

"really? Ka, then you can go straight to work in my office, even if you need to be my Secretary."

Rachel immediately snorted and smiled.

"Huh, isn't his personal assistant already all together."

"It used to be, but I think, lately it's been slowing down, I think he needs to relax a little bit."

Rachel smiled even more and started shaking her head.

"Why laugh?"

"All of a sudden I was pictured when you said it wasn't easy to work in your office. But why does it sound so easy now."

"If it were for you, I wouldn't even take more than a second to receive it. Not necessarily because of feelings, but some time working with you, I already know enough of your skills, you are quite competent."

"Eeemm fine, but I wasn't too serious when I said it earlier hehe."

"It's okay, but I was so serious when I answered him, come if you decide to join, I'll always open One Light Corp's doorstep for you."

"Well, I'll think about it, thank you in advance."

Some time talking, making Rachel began to lulled until unconscious if now the clock has shown in the direction at 15:00 pm.

"It's already evening, you seem to have taken a lot of time to accompany me to talk today, are you having no other business?" Rachel asked who had re-narrated her forehead.

"By being able to have an intense conversation like this with you, I was even willing to postpone all my activities today." Antony answered in his heart.

"Hey, why shut up?"

"No, it just so happened after a meeting with Mr. Maher, today I don't have any schedule from the office." Antony is lying.

"Ohh, so it looks, emm fine. But, it seems like I should go home now."

"All right, I'll drive you." Antony got up from his seat.

"Well, no need, you've wasted too much time today because of me."

"Special today, I am indeed being generous. Come on, don't turn down an offer from a friend."

Rachel finally smiled again and nodded in agreement. Rachel got up from her seat and walked out of the restaurant. Along the way, Rachel daydreams a lot, she thinks back to Arsen, making her heart feel torn and feel a pain that is difficult to explain.

"I'm guilty, but your attitude is too outrageous for Arsen, I'm really disappointed." Mumbled wailing.

"Rachel," call Antony who instantly makes Rachel's daydream.

"Eh, yes." Rachel immediately looked at him.

"Are you ok?"

"It's ok, I'm fine." Rachel was forced to re-carve a faint smile on her face,

"Are you sure? But I see from the look in your eyes, it doesn't seem to match your answer just now."

"I can handle." Answer Rachel.

Antony finally smiled and chose to refocus on driving.

The clock was pointed at 15.35 pm, the sedan that delivered Rachel finally stopped right in front of her apartment lobby.

"Thank you very much." Said Rachel who smiled back.

"Don't hesitate, if anything happens and need my help, then don't hesitate to contact me."

"Yes, thank you again." Rachel got out of the car.

"Be careful on the road." He said it again with a smile that did not disappear from his face.

"Bye."

"Byee." Rachel waved her hand to look at Antony's car that was starting to leave.

Now, Rachel's eyes began to look at the towering building in front of her, for a moment, she felt hesitant to enter, because she felt very unwilling to meet Arsen at that time. Unlike usual, this time Arsen really makes Rachel disappointed and hurt by his attitude and speech.

"Did I still deserve to come back here? Do I still deserve this to be my home?" Mumbled wailing.

"He was even so cruel as to let me go, not trying to hold me back let alone chase after me, it seems that my presence is no longer needed here." Added again.

After a heavy sigh, Rachel finally decided to turn the bow, and intended to return to her old apartment. But just a few steps away, Rachel remembered that in the apartment, so many things.

"Emm well, it seems like I have to go in first to pack all my stuff." He was alone and finally started to enter the loby.

"Again still at this hour, there's no way Arsen is inside." He muttered again while looking at the clock on his phone.

Rachel walked languidly down the corridor to get to her unit, only needing to stick her thumb, now the door was automatically opened. With lethargic steps and a lowered head, Rachel continued walking towards the room without glancing around. Until without realizing it, someone was already sitting waiting for him on the sofa.

"Jam just got home, where have you been?"

Hearing that made Rachel stop her steps and immediately turned to the direction where the voice came from.

"Arsen, is he home?" Ask in the heart with both eyes that appear enlarged.

"It's none of your business!" And choose to continue in his footsteps.

But it turns out that this time Arsen did not stay still, Arsen immediately rose from his seat and pulled Rachel's hand as if he did not let it move.

...Seriate......
