Trapped in Love Miss Arogan

61.

Mr. Romanov was visibly riled up waiting for someone in his main office. He had an appointment with an informant whom he had paid to find information about Justin Kim.

It had been about fifteen minutes from the appointed time but the informant had not yet come to see him.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Good Day, Mr. Clinton." said Mario shortly after he opened the door to Mr. Romanov's office. Mario then bent half his body to pay respect first to the boss.

"Mario.." said Mr. Romanov.

"I'm sorry I came late, sir!"

"Come on Mario." said Mr. Romanov pointing to the chair in front of him.

Mario nodded and immediately obeyed the orders of Mr. Romanov. He closed the door behind him and walked towards Mr. Romanov's desk. After that, he sat down.

Mr. Romanov immediately closed the tab on his computer so that he could give full attention to the young man before him.

"So how, did the informant manage to find what I asked him?" asked Mr. Romanov to open the conversation and without further ado asked directly about the topic of their conversation.

"You take it easy, sir" said Mario smiling. The young man then began to take out a brown envelope from inside his bag.

Mr. Romanov just silently watched the movements of Mario.

"This is what you asked for, sir!" mario said again and then put the envelope on the desk, right in front of Mr. Romanov.

Mr. Romanov raised his eyebrows while looking at the brown envelope in surprise. "Why didn't the informant himself bring it?"

"Right now he's still in his job following Justin, sir. Because you gave him a short time to do his job, so he left this to me and said that he would keep looking for other information for you" Mario explained.

Mr. Romanov nodded his head in understanding. He immediately grabbed and opened the brown envelope. Tuam Romanov was able to catch a glimpse of the contents of a brown envelope that turned out to contain a flash and several photos.

"This is all.." said Mr. Romanov, looking closely at some of the photos in his hand.

The sheet shows various photos that contain the activities of a young man, such as reading a book, walking, even while at home. And it is clear that the collection of photos was indeed taken secretly.

Mario has since just sat quietly staring at his employer who currently looks very obsessed with photos of the young man. Mario then took a paper containing a record of information about the young man in the photo and read it carefully.

"Name Justin. Justin Kim's. He was eighteen years old on July 28. He had just graduated from high school a few months ago." Mario explained, his eyes were still focused on the paper he had just read.

Mr. Romanov just glanced flat Mario then looked back one by one the photo sheets in his hand. "Continue..!" his orders.

"So his job is to deliver the newspaper in the morning. He also had another side job at a fast food restaurant owned by his friend as a chicken deliveryman, which he worked on after he came home from college until six in the afternoon. Because after that he also had to work in a small cafe at night at seven to ten."

"That's all his work?"

Mario nodded, "It's not over, sir."

"Not finished?"

"Yes, sir." Mario nodded back. "Next! He worked at the small cafe from Monday to Friday. The rest of the time on Saturday and his week he will work overtime as a deliveryman or food courier from twelve noon until ten o'clock."

"The work is amazing" murmured the Romanov lord in amazement.

"But all of that is his old job. Because now he's quit all that work and would rather work at your fancy cafe."

"He quit?"

"Yes, he's still delivering newspapers. But besides that he stopped. I think it's probably because the salary at your restaurant is much larger."

"Somehow, but I salute him being able to share his working time with that much work. Before working at your restaurant." continued Mario while reading Justin's self data in his hands.

"Yes, he's busier than me apparently!" Mr. Romanov then put the photo back in the envelope and placed it on the table, smiling. "Is there any more?"

Mario cleared a little while and moved his chair closer to his desk, "Master, this kid also attended Bhakti Darma University, your campus!" mario said as he pointed at the envelope on the table with his chin.

"Why don't I know that?" mr. Romanov muttered.

Mario nodded his head. "It's only natural that you don't know sir. You have been in Japan for many years. At the admission of new students you are also not present and only represented by uncle Dimitri."

Mr. Romanov nodded in agreement. "How could I forget that."

"In addition, you are also not the type of person who will pay attention to what the faces of the new students on campus are" said Mario again.

"Yes, you're right. What about his parents?" ask mr. Romanov. Actually, he already knew the answer from Harry's story at that time. But then again, he just wanted to make sure.

Mario opens several other sheets of paper in his hand, trying to find information about Justin's parents.

"Brother?"

"Not got, sir." Mario shook his head. "He's his only child, an only child. And other information, during school he also worked part-time at a minimarket, but it's stopped."

Mr. Romanov folded his hands together in the chest. "He's living alone?"

Mario nodded. "It seems so, our informant said he lived in a house in a small alley, the home of his late parents,"

Mr. Romanov nodded in understanding for the umpteenth time. "I understand. That could be the reason why he has so much work. He has to support himself!"

Mario agreed. "Why am I amazed at him, too, sir."

Mr. Romanov then smiled satisfied to see the work of the informant he hired.

"Great work!" mr. Romanov said to Mario. "You could offer a good position for that informant. If he agrees, we can make him our permanent informant."

"Okay sir." said Mario who then looked at his superior with a fixed gaze. "May I know why you are so curious about that young man sir?" ask Mario suddenly.

"You have the answer to your own question, Mario." replied Mr. Romanov. "I've told you everything, the rest you can deduce for yourself, about why I'm so curious about that young man."

Feeling that he had not received a satisfactory answer, Mario again continued his question. "If you're talking about the 'responsibility' that young man has, I think young master Xander already has it too."

"There's a big difference between that young man and Xander, Mario. I used to take Xander with me to accompany Charlotte. When they were kids, Xander changed Charlotte's attitude. But growing up, Xander can only spoil Charlotte. He won't be able to change Charlotte's bad attitude."

Mario nods in agreement, suddenly remembering the events of a few days ago, where Xander was found secretly accompanying Charlotte to a nightclub. They even dare to lie to Mr. Romanov and end up bringing the unconscious Charlotte into the mansion. 

But somehow I felt that the young man could change Charlotte with all the kindness he had in his heart" said Mr. Romanov calmly. "I want the boy to take Xander's place. But before, I'd make it into Charlotte's life somehow."

"Do you want her to be Miss Lottie's mentor, sir?" ask Mario.

Mr. Romanov shook his head. "No, not a counselor, but I'll make it a family member."

"You mean, sir?" Mario frowned.

"That kid, I'm gonna make it my granddaughter!" mr. Romanov said with a smile on his face.

"So you mean..." Mario looked at his superior with an expression of disbelief.

But instead of answering the question, Mr. Romanov took the brown envelope back.

"Where is he now?" ask Mr. Romanov later.

"Him? Who's mister?"

"Justin Kim!" answer mr. Romanov.

"The news I got from the informant, he is currently in college. And the last time he was with his best friend. It's noon, maybe he's home." Mario explained.

"Friend?" mr. Romanov frowned. "Who?"

Mario again opened the information paper in his hand and read it. "A young man named Charlie. He's been his best friend since they were in high school" 

Mr. Romanov nodded. "It's good that if he has a best friend, it definitely makes him not too lonely!"

"Yes, sir." replied Mario who did not know what else to answer.

After all Mario's explanation of Justin Kim's information, Mr. Romanov now again stared at the paper containing information about Justin. He looked at the sheet of paper with pity. For some reason, Mr. Romanov became more and more guilty because it had troubled young people like Justin at that time.

Mr. Romanov can even remember the incident when he grazed the boy's bike until all the food he brought was scattered. He still remembered the smile full of pain from the young man.

Mr. Romanov took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before finally making a decision in his own head. I will give my best to the young man, Mr. Romanov.

He then raised his head to look at Mario who was still waiting in front of him.

"Mario!" yells.

"Yes sir?"

"Hurry and get the car ready! I want to go visit the cafe where the young man works. This young man, I will meet him there." - Mr. Romanov told Mario firmly.

Mario nodded. "Good sir."
