Luci raised the corners of her lips in disgust when she saw the two men who were still fighting over her. Who else but Evan and Kevin?
"Me right, Lu? You must choose me, right? Is not it?" Kevin had already stepped forward and was clinging to Luci's arms coyly. The man with exotic skin often does skinship with Luci. This pissed Evan off.
"Stop touching my girlfriend!" Evan growled as he jerked Kevin's hand which was clinging to Luci's arm. Evan's face was already twitching horribly. Dark clouds accompanied every change in the ripples on his face that was filled with a raging storm.
If Kevin didn't back down, Kevin and his shop could be destroyed. But Kevin still didn't want to give up. Only because he still didn't know what kind of monster he was dealing with right now.
"If Luci hasn't answered anything, then I'm free to do whatever I want with her." Kevin showed his defiant face. His body was getting closer to Luci's body. It was as if Kevin wanted to show Evan that Kevin had a greater intimacy with Luci than Evan had with Luci. Even though Kevin and Luci did not have any relationship.
"This Rancid brat, I can destroy both you and this shop if I want to! So stay away from her!" Evan clenched his fists as he barked loudly. His eyes were completely dark. In a dark and smoldering concept, it should sound absurd. But not for Evan.
He does have dark eyes as if able to swallow your soul and kill you ruthlessly. But on the other hand, Evan's gaze was burning due to the urgency of the wild rage that had reached the end of his throat. The rampage would soon erupt if ignited any further.
"Kevin, stop this already! Go back to the cash register!" asked Luci gently and still smiling.
Seeing Luci's smile aimed at someone else instead of Evan, made him even more inflamed in his place.
"No, Lu. You look very troubled. That's why I came to help. Gosh, look at this beautiful girl of mine! Your face is so tired. Did you just have a tough day?" Kevin asked, glanced at Evan. What Kevin meant by a hard day was Evan himself.
Evan almost punched Kevin in the face because he was so annoyed. But the CEO seemed to have a better idea. "He just had a 'hard night'… with me." Evan then winked at Luci coquettishly.
On the other side, Luci was wide-eyed while blinking a few times in confusion. 'What does it mean? The words are so ambiguous,' Luci thought uncomfortably.
"W-what? What do you mean?" Kevin stuttered. His grip on Luci's arm had started to loosen. 'He must be lying. The man is just lying. Right, it must be,' Kevin nodded in his rebellious mind.
Evan leaned closer and raised an eyebrow. "You know what I mean right? I got a 'service' last night." Evan smirked with satisfaction especially after seeing Kevin already standing weakly in his place.
Kevin's grip on Luci's arm had fallen off and hung in the air in a pathetic and heart-wrenching state.
'My love hasn't been received by Luci since six months ago. But why? Why did this ugly and uncool man even steal the start first?' Kevin thought miserably. His eyes were empty. Kevin's life seemed to leave his body.
Meanwhile, Luci immediately intervened and shed light on all these misunderstandings. "Master, what do you mean? I told you not to talk nonsense! What service? Don't misunderstand others!" Luci glared in place to warn Evan.
Kevin's life which was taken away is now back in his thin body. Kevin's eyes lit up like a child who had just found happiness innocently. 'Lu, I knew you would say it!' Kevin thought firmly.
At the end of the shelf, Evan was already covered with clouds. Especially when he heard Luci call him 'master' instead of sweet names like 'darling' or 'love'.
"Right? Luci already said that you two are not related. So watch your limits, sir…" Kevin stopped his words, turned to Luci. "What's his name, Lu?" Kevin asked.
However, it was not Luci who answered Kevin's question, but Evan himself. "Evan. My name is Evan Robert Hudan," said Evan, emphasizing every word in his name.
Of course, Kevin did not necessarily believe it. Moreover, Evan has not yet opened the black mask that hides his face. Currently, Kevin still thinks that Evan is just a person who likes to confess.
"Oh, you're Evan Robert Hudan aren't you? Then my name is Ben Leonal Mercy, huh!" squealed Kevin on his hips and disdainfully.
Ben Leonal Mercy was the richest man in the world at the time. Because Kevin thought that Evan was claiming to be the richest CEO in the country as well as the third richest CEO in Asia, Kevin chose to claim to be Ben Leonal Mercy. Kevin did this to give an example that he was greater and richer than Evan.
"This kid!" Evan almost moved to give Kevin his fist. But before that happened Luci had dragged Kevin out of the way.
WOW! Evan's fist only hit empty air. His eyes lit up again, especially when he saw Luci's hand tightly gripping Kevin's arm to save Kevin.
"What are you doing?" growled Evan with an arched back after throwing his fist that failed to hit the target.
The fight would almost happen again if it weren't for Kevin's departure because a customer wanted to buy a drug. The medicine is placed in a glass cupboard behind the cashier's counter and can only be picked up by the cashier.
Luci immediately hid when she saw the new customer. The customer is one of Luci's neighbors who always annoys Luci. Her name is Meta.
"Lu, isn't that you? Wow, what are you doing here?" asked Meta with an arrogant gesture. Meta is a girl who used to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the city. However, due to bankruptcy, currently Meta is at a low point.
Therefore, to save on her continuing tuition fees, Meta is willing to live in a slum flat. However, Meta's room is quite luxurious because she did a lot of repairs to make her room more livable.
"Oh, who is he? 'Your customer'? May also. So this is how you've been making money all this time?" Meta sneered while bringing his body closer to Luci and Evan.
Kevin wanted to intervene immediately but there was an important call he had to receive on his cellphone. So he went out for a while to take the call.
"He's my friend." Luci pointed at Evan with a weak hand.
Meta, who had hanging curly hair and was dressed quite luxuriously, approached Evan stylishly. Her eyes scanned the figure of Evan who was very pleasing to the eye.
"Friend? Just friends right?" Meta now stopped her steps right in front of Evan. Meta's eyes flickered seductively. Then Meta reached out her hand. "Hi, my name is Meta." A smile curved on Meta's lips which were covered in that heavy lipstick.
Evan hasn't responded to Meta at all. His eyes were now analyzing seriously. Starting from Meta's facial expression and then moving on to Luci's facial expression. 'Meta, she's not a nice person. Just look at those crooked lips when smiling at the jockey girl (Luci). They must be enemies I'm sure of that. But the problem is I don't know what this jockey girl's plan is. Ah, since when did I care about other people's business?'
Ever since you fell in love with Luci, sir.
"Hi, I already have a girlfriend," Evan replied with a nod of his face. Evan did not welcome Meta's outstretched hand, who had been waiting for Evan's hand eagerly.
Meta's face became awkward with embarrassment. "Oh, you already have a girlfriend. Too bad this friend of mine didn't want to tell me first!" Meta glanced at Luci and seemed to blame Luci. The emphasis on her words clearly shows so.
Evan noticed it quickly. He grabbed Luci's waist. Then Evan stroked Luci's face gently. "Right. it's a shame my girlfriend doesn't want to tell you first," Evan said, which he addressed to Meta.
Meta blinked her eyes in confusion. But Evan's caress was able to make Meta aware of what happened. 'Impossible. This disgusting girl, how can she be side by side with such a cool guy?' Meta thought in disbelief.
