"Uh, your chest hurts?" Luci frowned. Her eyes went into focus mode a million times over (hyperbole, don't worry too much). "Do you have heart disease?" She continued.
At the end of the video call Spider can be seen shaking his head weakly. Spider is like a child who is sulking in a state of hunger, had indeed become very spoiled since their phone session began.
"No? So what?" Luci scanned the figure of Spider printed on his cellphone screen. There was no further explanation from Spider, but he now had a grim face.
After a few seconds, Luci concluded. "Oh, you're hurt? Did I just hurt you?"
From a distance, Evan snorted. He had been peeking from behind the crack in the wall to keep an eye on Luci who was making a video call with Spider. Evan had tried his best so he could see the person Luci was calling, but it still didn't work.
And now Evan was burning with jealousy (even though he didn't know and would never admit it). The jealousy occurred when Luci was quickly able to catch Spider's intentions even though Spider didn't say that she hurt him directly.
"If only with that man she (Luci) could immediately grasp the meaning and code of feelings. But if with me….huh. Even if I explode and destroy this place she won't understand what I mean," Evan grumbled. His face hardened with a very annoyed expression.
"Sorry, Ider," Luci asked sincerely.
"Sorry, Ider," Evan sneered by copying Luci's words. Evan said it in a scornful and annoying tone. "Older brother? Only stepbrother? If other people saw it, they would think she was tempting his brother. Bah!"
"Did my words offend you?" asked Luci again, probingly.
Evan rolled his eyes behind the crack in the wall. "For God's sake, she doesn't need to be so cute!" Evan whispered. His hands were already clenched into fists. But the anger hadn't fully erupted from his already boiling skull. Evan still needs to get another trigger for it to explode.
Meanwhile, Spider still pursed his lips. "You said you preferred my two subordinates to me." Spider finally admitted his unease. Although his anxiety was completely unfounded.
Because Luci never said that she liked Matt and Tom more than Spider. She just said Matt and Tom were very entertaining, nothing more. But Spider had thought too far and drawn too far.
"Hah?" Luci was astonished, recalled the words she had spoken throughout this call with Spider. The more she forced herself to remember her words about her liking Spider's subordinates more than him, the more confusion and impasse she would become.
'I don't think I ever said that. Did I accidentally say it? Let me remember that first!' thought Luci. But still, she felt like she never said that.
"Huh what? You hurt me, you know that?" Spider protested. His face swayed in disgust. His burly body wasn't able to give Spider a fierce aura at this time, would change a hundred and eighty degrees if he was with Luci.
"It's not like that, um – I mean, I – I don't feel like I've said that I like your men more than you. When did I say it was all true?" Luci raised her eyebrows. She listened to Spider who was currently stumbling in his place.
'Was that just what I thought? So Bee didn't say she liked Matt and Tom more than I did she?' Spider thought glanced at Luci who was still waiting for her answer.
At first, Spider was nervous beyond words. But right now, the burly man was completely embarrassed.
'Oooooo! Why would I say such a stupid thing anyway? Bee must be thinking something is wrong.' Spider bit his lip. He still couldn't defend himself.
"Ider," Luci rebuked her seriously. "Are you, could it be, don't..."
'Don't what? Has Bee sniffed that I'm jealous right now? Haish, maybe she already knows I like her. No no! This cannot be allowed! She still thinks of me as a big brother at this time.'
"Eh, it's been a while, Bee. I have to go to see my doctor first. Bye!" Spider hung up the phone hastily. His heart was beating fast at this moment due to the fear and nervousness of his thoughts and prejudices. Even though Luci had no thoughts or suspicions that Spider liked her.
"Well, closed. It seems that his consciousness has not fully recovered. Even though I just wanted to ask if he was conscious or not. He looked like a semi-conscious person. Just talk nonsense." Luci shook her head to herself.
Spider hugged his cell phone with a sigh. His mind was wandering all over the place again. His eyes darted up and down every corner of the room where he was being treated as if the corners of the room held various solutions to the problems and confusion that Spider was facing.
"How about this? Ouch, damn it! Even though I had promised the little boy to play hard to get. Ouch!" Spider moved restlessly on the bed, was even biting his nails non-stop. His eyes were still wild-looking around.
"I need to go to the hospital. Yes, I have to go see the little boy and ask for advice." The little boy that Spider is referring to here is Hans. Hans asks Spider not to show his interest to Luci first before Luci is completely ready to forget Daniel.
"Argh, I should have bought the kid a cell phone so I can communicate with him smoothly." Spider ruffled his hair in frustration.
Soon Tom and Matt were seen entering and approaching Spider. They were content to run along with the mansion's very spacious living room just to do their crazy acts.
Not both of them acting crazy. Madness is always attached to Matt who has a face like a clown, but Tom doesn't always act crazy. He was running and wasting his energy just to avoid Matt who wanted to hug and be spoiled like a wife to him.
Now both of them were back breathless and sweat dripping and wet each other's hair. They looked like they had just finished a marathon.
"Sir, here we come, sir! We…Huh! Hah! Hah!" Matt collapsed on the floor just as he reached the doorway. His face was pale and looked like he was choking from exhaustion.
Tom had a blank face because he had to avoid Matt's madness that had been chasing him. He was now approaching Spider to ask for help from the leader. But Tom's voice seemed to be stuck in his throat.
"Sir! Cough! Sir! Hah! Sss….!" Tom couldn't go on anymore.
Downstairs, Matt was already crawling and trying to grab Tom, wanting to hug Tom again. However, his composure was not enough to move any further.
"Can you guys not be so funny? You think it's cute that girls will fall for you, huh?" Spider snapped suddenly. It turned out that Spider felt angry and jealous when he saw his two stupid subordinates. Within a few short seconds, Spider remembered how much Luci liked Matt and Tom, even though Luci had never said that she liked the two men with more intense intentions.
Hearing Spider's scream had made both Tom and Matt gawk. Tom crept up timidly and approached Matt who was now standing up. They glared at the same time.
"What's happening with Sir? Is he in a trance again?" Matt whispered which Tom immediately answered with a punch right on Matt's head.
"Shut up or you'll die here, you idiot!" Tom cursed in a choked whisper.
