Part 16

This afternoon, Clayton had just finished all his affairs in his private room in a towering building. Clayton planned to just drink a cup of his favorite coffee at a café close to his company building. However, his beautiful plan had to be disturbed by the presence of her lover who suddenly came to his room which was quite large.

"You're done, are you?" asked Zevanya to Clayton, who looked like he was getting ready to leave his work space.

Clayton could only resign himself and nodded his head quietly.

"Have you had lunch?" asked Clayton to Zevanya who was returned with a smile by his lover.

"Not yet. Where do you want to eat?" said Zevanya as well.

"Okay, I choose the place." said Clayton, who would still choose the café he frequented to drink his favorite coffee.

No meaningful conversation took place between Clayton and also Zevanya. The two of them only talked about their daily lives and activities, nothing more. Until not long after, they arrived at a café of Clayton's choice.

Clayton walked first into the café and he was quite surprised to see a high school girl Clayton knew. The girl looks unhappy at Clayton's presence and tries to avoid it by covering her face using the menu at the café she visits.

"You?"

"Gosh, why the hell did he reprimand me. Even though my face is already covered up. It really sucks!" said Keiyona half-in a whisper, but could still be heard by Clayton.

"What ghost do you think you are?" said Clayton with a chuckle at Keiyona's behavior.

They hadn't had time to talk, a woman was seen entering the café, which was none other than Zevanya. Girlfriend of Clayton.

"Baby! How close are you to him?" said Zevanya who looked unhappy.

"You too, how close to my boyfriend? You're really looking for attention to be a girl." said Zevanya, rolling her eyes lazily.

"Zevanya."

After commemorating his lover, Clayton immediately took Zevanya to step away. However, somehow Zevanya still looks unhappy. Clayton didn't know how to comfort someone, so he just asked to make sure. Zevanya said she was okay and made Clayton just stay quiet while enjoying her food.

Kring!

A bell above the café door rang. Clayton immediately retracted his gaze and saw Keiyona who walked out of the café area.

"Why the hell, Clay?" said Clayton, who was again busying himself with his food.

Keiyona stepped in her short strides into the mansion that belonged to her parents. Keiyona immediately discovers the whereabouts of Lasti who is waiting for her. There was a look of happiness that Keiyona was back at school today. Keiyona couldn't deny that she was also happy to see Lasti smile proudly like this. It was the first time Keiyona felt that there was someone supporting behind her and always paying attention to her.

"Cook what?" asked Keiyona who was in an improved mood.

"Chili prawns. Miss has dinner at home, right?" asked Lasti assuringly.

"Yes. Just calm down, tonight Kei will finish it all!" said Keiyona, then strode towards the dining room.

"I'm really happy today. Miss Kei finally wants to go to school again and eat at home in the evening. Tomorrow-tomorrow like this again yes miss?" asked Lasti to Keiyona.

Keiyona couldn't promise it. She just smiled full of reply to Lasti's remarks.

"Lasti's cooking has never changed. Kei likes it." said Keiyona complimentingly.

Lasti smiled at the hearing and said. "I'm happy, miss. Every day cooks, but miss always eats out." said Mbok Lasti complainingly.

Keiyona just laughed crisply, and then asked. "Where is the food?" asked Keiyona, who was curious because usually every day Lasti always cooks even though no one eats it.

Not only one dish, but usually more than three dishes. Of course, this invites Keiyona's curiosity because every day the dishes run out on time.

"In front of the compound there is a simple, non-orphanage. love to share with children. Sometimes it's also shared with neighbors." said Lasti telling.

Indeed, there is no doubt the kindness of Lasti, the housekeeper and the closest and most familiar person to Keiyona to date.

"Good." said Keiyona.

There was a sound coming from the engine of the car. Keiyona immediately turned her eyes towards the outside of her house even though she couldn't see out there. Keiyona immediately stood up and walked out leaving Lasti.

"Miss Kei where are you going?" called Lasti, who was not snubbed by Keiyona.

Lasti could only rub her chest and be patient to see her employer's son's behavior, which never changed.

True according to Keiyona's guess. It must be Clayton. When Keiyona came out of her house, she immediately saw Clayton who had just gotten out of the man's luxury car.

Keiyona smiled broadly, then shouted quite loudly.

"Regal!" she shouted calling.

Clayton, who felt his name called, immediately twisted his body and found Keiyona who was standing in front of the fence of the girl's house. Clayton could also see Keiyona who was very excitedly running towards him.

Clayton frowned when Keiyona was already standing right before him.

"What are you doing?" asked Clayton feeling strange about Keiyona's attitude tonight, very different from last afternoon where he met the girl at the café with Zevanya.

"I want to give you something." she said with the sweet smile Keiyona showed Clayton.

Of course, this again made Clayton feel confused. What's the matter with the girl in front of him at this time? He thought.

Clayton reflexively raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand on Keiyona's forehead which didn't feel hot at all.

"Well." said Clayton assuringly.

Keiyona clucked resentfully. "Tsk. You think I'm sick?!" she said displeased.

"Okay, what do you want to do?" asked Clayton again.

Keiyona sighed harshly. "You're not forgetful too, huh?" asked Keiyona again.

Clayton closed his eyes for a moment. He was tired of being in the office all day and when he returned home, Clayton was faced with a creature like Keiyona. It was exhausting for him.

"If you just want to tease me, you'd better just go home." he said driving Keiyona away.

"That's why you heard it first. Just like that from earlier." said Keiyona again.

"Patience, Clay." innered Clayton to himself.

"Okay, I'm quiet." said Clayton who chose to just relent.

As a sentence says, the sane relent. That's how Clayton is currently implementing.

"So, my intention and purpose is to be here. I want to give you this." said Keiyona handing over a white envelope that must have contained money.

"It's a gift." said Keiyona adding.

"Can I correct you? You just paid the debt. So, I want to go in now." said Clayton, who had walked into his house after receiving money from Keiyona.

Keiyona pursed her lips like a duck's mouth.

"It's really annoying, uncle!"
