For a long time, Evan could not sleep. But this time it wasn't because of the bolster, but because of his crazy heartbeat when Luci's body was still clinging and sinking in his arms.
"You won't let me sleep?" Evan whispered to Luci who was asleep and unconscious.
He sighed. When his breath hit her hair, he subconsciously found her cell phone which was lying not far from where she was sitting right now. The phone showed a video of a man under a blooming cherry tree.
'That's the man in the picture, right? Why did she play a video about him?' Evan thought.
He also reached out to take her cell phone. His movements were so slow that she didn't wake up from a deep sleep.
After getting the phone, he listened carefully to the video. Her black headset has been plugged into her ears.
The video played at an intermediate duration. Therefore, he replayed the video with curiosity as well as a strong urge about the emotions that began to run through his face.
"Hello, my love, how are you there? Are you eating well and sleeping well? Haaaah, I can't do both because I miss you too much." Daniel's voice filled Evan's ears.
"You cheap crap!" Evan cursed when he heard Daniel's video playing.
"Haha, was I overreacting just now?"
'Yes, it's very excessive and makes people sick,' Evan continued by answering Daniel's video.
"Sorry, but I'm too sick of missing you. Oh yeah, it's spring here. My visit ends in one week. So please be patient, my Spoiled Princess. I'll be home soon and meet you. We have to talk about our marriage soon."
Badum! Evan's chest sank. He didn't like hearing the words marriage come out of Daniel's lips in the video. Inadvertently in his subconscious, Evan had said that Luci was only his own even though at that time he still didn't realize it.
"I can't wait to marry you. I know you still want to do a lot of things. But do you mind doing that after marrying me? Hans, mom, and dad would be very happy too. So please consider. I want to be with you on more serious matters."
Evan grew furious at Daniel. Now in his heart, he must prepare to compete to get rid of the foreign man in the video. Whoever he was, he would make him lose. Even though Daniel died a year ago.
"I miss you. Maybe you're tired of hearing it. But that's fair right? A man who is separated from his lover will feel that." Daniel smiled brightly in the video. Behind him, beautiful cherry blossoms bloomed when the wind blew softly.
Evan's face twitched furiously. "Who is this man? Your boyfriend huh? Your ex? I told you you can't have another man but me…. during the contract agreement. Ahem." Evan watched the follow-up video again.
"So is there anything you want here? Don't just ask me to come back. but ask for something else! I want you to occasionally ask me to buy something for you. I want to see you rely on me a little. Because at that moment I knew that your heart only belonged to me."
"She's mine, you idiot!" said Evan suddenly. But the man quickly became self-conscious. "I mean – I mean she is my employee now." He corrected nervously. Did he not realize that now he was talking to inanimate objects?
"Are you disappointed that we never had a more intimate relationship like most couples? Do you want… mmm do you want me to kiss you right away? Do you still think that a kiss is the only thing that can prove my love for you? Haish, you know I don't want to cross the line. I want to take care of you in marriage."
Evan snorted. "Nonsense. He must be a land crocodile (player)." He gritted his teeth.
"I'm serious with you so don't be angry anymore. Pick up my call! I know you're not as busy as you say all this time right? Hans and mom said you're starting to see them less and less. Don't you know how much my family misses you? Lucia Starla, don't ever leave me, ok? I can't have your anger like this all the time. You make me very sick."
Evan closed the video in annoyance. His heart that was beating fast with nervousness was now filled with anger. Then he checked the date the video was recorded.
"A year ago. Is he your ex huh? Then why are you still saving this video? You shameless girl!" Without thinking, Evan deleted the video angrily and impatiently. Then he looked for other photos and videos of Daniel.
It turned out that Luci's cellphone had lots of photos and videos of Daniel. There was also a video of Daniel and her spending vacation time together. The videos show how happy and affectionate the two of them were. That intimacy and happiness made Evan very angry. very and very angry.
Therefore, with a heart filled with a dark and cruel aura, Evan deleted all the videos and photos without leaving a single trace of the recording. His breath hitched like he was battling the most terrifying demon in the world. After finishing his task, he threw her cellphone on the sofa in annoyance.
His anger did not end there.
"Why are you clinging to me? Just take care of your crappy lover!" Evan pushed Luci to keep her away.
Because of his strong push, she finally fell backward and fell asleep on the sofa like a discarded item. Because she was so tired she didn't wake up at all.
"Tch, look at that face! She cries then smiles. She must have dreamed of kissing that man." Evan also took the water bottle from the table. Then furiously, he splashed her with all the water in the bottle until the water in it ran out without any residue.
Luci was shocked and gasped. She immediately got up from sleep and blinked nervously. The water that was splashed earlier even got into her nose, causing her. to cough.
"Just get it!" Evan whined and then left irresponsibly.
Luci had a dumbfounded face when she saw Evan's scorching and explosive departure. She didn't even know why he doused her with water.
"Did I disturb his sleep? Did I snore loudly earlier? But I've never snored in all this time." Luci coughed again for a while. And after breathing relieved she fell asleep again.
Morning arrived. The sun had risen on the eastern horizon. Luci immediately got up to wash her face and brush her teeth before preparing to cook.
"Ah, everything is getting wet all this way. You crazy CEO!" Luci grimaced when she saw the sofa and the floor below which were already wet with water. The water came from Evan's splash last night.
Luci got up and took her cell phone and then went into the bathroom. After washing her face and brushing her teeth she knocked on the door to wake Evan. The clock showed at half-past six in the morning.
"Mister, Mister Evan! Get up, you have to work!" She went to the kitchen to cook. The morning menu was just sandwiches and warm water. She ran out of tea and forgot to buy it.
Since Evan hadn't woken up yet, Luci went to knock on the door again.
"Mister Evan! Sir!"
Not long after that Evan emerged from the room with an angry and hard face. He even accidentally bumped into her who had blocked his way.
At that moment she knew that she had made a mistake. It's just that she didn't know what wrong she had done to him.
