With a raging feeling, Mr.K drove his car towards the address Clara had given him. Clara only mentioned to him that she had a need there and met someone closest to her, not to say that she would meet her stepbrother.
But considering Clara had told him she didn't have a close relative or a person she trusted, wasn't the only one she believed close was her family?
Mr. K accelerates the speed of his vehicle so that he gets to the destination faster, or more precisely, Mr. K doesn't want Clara in her position for now.
***
Clara was in front of the restaurant and stepped her feet towards the place that had been reserved by her stepbrother.
"Good afternoon miss, have you made a reservation?"
"A-ah already."
"On whose behalf, lady?"
"Jacob."
"Wait a minute," said a waiter "Let me take the lady," said the waiter after checking the registered reservation data list.
The waiter immediately took Clara to a VIP room found in the restaurant.
The VIP room is different from other tables. The table located in a particular place which seems private there
"Here the place, miss," said the waiter sliding a door to the VIP room.
Clara only nodded her head and smiled faintly at the servant.
"Hi," Clara said to her stepbrother, who was now staring at her with a smile on her face.
"Oh, hey, sit here, we haven't had lunch together for a long time," Jacob told Clara.
Clara just smiled at that.
Indeed it has been a long time since Clara hasn't seen her brother. Not only her stepbrother, even her parents, she been almost two months since Clara hasn't met.
"When will you go home, or just play home?" Jacob asked Clara as she opened the conversation.
Clara didn't answer right away. Clara thought about it first. Clara did not want to make promises because, for Clara, if she had promised, she had to keep it.
"Mmm, two weeks later, I will go to New York, take part in a fashion week there, so it will only be possible to visit after I return from New York," Clara said honestly.
Jacob just nodded his head in response.
"What do you want to order?" Jacob asked as he handed me a menu book, which he had held earlier.
"Whatever you choose," Clara replied politely.
"Alright, since today, I can finally meet my sister, so I will order the food that I think is the best here," Jacob chuckled.
"Alright then, and why did you suddenly invite me to meet for lunch here?" Clara asked, confused.
Jacob gave Clara a code 'briefly' using his hand because Jacob wanted to answer after ordering food in advance to the restaurant waiter who was there.
After finishing ordering food, Jacob finally tried to answer Clara's question.
"So, like this, I wanted to tell you about my partner for a long time," Jacob said suddenly.
"Lover ?? Do you have a girlfriend?" Clara asked enthusiastically.
To be honest, Clara was happy to hear her brother's statement stating that he had a girlfriend because the article of his brother had had an evil love story a few years ago, and since then, her brother didn't want to open his heart.
"Yes ... for that, I want to introduce her to you, I want you to be close to him," Jacob said.
"Oh, of course, I'm glad to hear that ... did your lover come here too?" Clara asked
"Yes, I invited her here, it's just that she will be late because there is a little work ... is that okay?"
Clara smiled sweetly at her brother and nodded her head.
When Clara was still talking to Jacob, Clara's cellphone rang several times, so Clara chooses to pick up that phone.
"Who is bothering me?" Clara grumbled irritably.
Clara quickly picked up her cellphone and looked at the name printed on the screen of her cellphone.
With a slightly annoyed feeling, Clara also picked up the phone, which was none other than ...
... Mr.K
"What is wrong ?" Clara said without further ado.
"I've arrived. Where are you?"
Suddenly Clara was silent because Clara did not think that Mr.K immediately approached him when he gave his current location.
'Is he worried about me? Is not possible .... or he caught the wrong meaning I sent the location to him? '
Jacob, who saw the change in Clara's face, immediately took the initiative to ask Clara about who was calling her.
Clara tells Jacob that her assistant was now picking her up.
"The food hasn't arrived, what if he invited you here to eat together?" suggested Jacob.
Clara had no other choice. She forced to tell Mr.K that now she was with her brother, and invited Mr.K to eat together.
Of course, Mr.K did not refuse, because honestly, Mr.K also wanted to see Jacob's face and attitude towards Clara.
Creak...
"Excuse me," Mr.K said as he entered the room where Clara and Jacob were.
"Yes, come in."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ken, Clara's assistant," said Mr. K to Jacob, holding out his hand.
"Oh yeah, I'm Jacob's brother Clara," Jacob said, shaking his hand with Mr.K.
Mr.K reviewed his faint smile.
"Sorry to disturb your lunch," Mr.K said politely.
"Ah, it's okay," Jacob answered.
Not long after that, a waiter approached them to bring the order that Jacob had ordered before him.
"Oh yeah, what do you want to order? Let me order it as well," Jacob said to Mr.K
"Just equate me," Clara said, cutting Mr.K off, Mr.K just turned the bead lazily.
"Clara?"
"Is that okay, right, Ken, do you want to order the food just the same?" said Clara, nudging Mr.K's body with his elbow.
"Ah yes, all the same," Mr.K said to Jacob with a forced smile.
Jacob finally ordered the same food back for Mr.K.
"You didn't open your glasses?" asked Jacob in confusion, when Mr.K had come in until now he had not sat open his flagship glasses.
"Ah, this .... my eyes are not good, for that, I wear it, sorry if disturbing you," said Mr.K explained, while Clara, who heard it, could only hold back laughter.
Jacob nodded his head in response that he didn't mind it.
After they finally talked, someone slid the door of the room where Clara, Jacob, and Mr.K were.
"Sorry, I'm late," said the girl who had just entered.
The three directly looked at the girl with a different reaction than seen on the look on their faces.
If Clara and Jacob, with a happy face, welcomed him, another matter with Mr.K, who held the shock when he saw that girl.
'S.....- She !!! ... why is she here? 'Mr.K softly in his heart.
