PART 9 ~ THREATH TO BRAM

Such a spacious apartment, such a large dining table, but there was only she accompanied by a plate of sandwiches and a glass of milk. That's her life, she still feels lonely even though sometimes Bram is in the apartment.

Clara remembered Bram's refusal last night. This was the first time that Bram had rejected her, especially when she heard Bram's words telling her to have sex with other men.

This morning Clara did not find Bram in her room. It seems that after they fought, Bram immediately left Clara's apartment.

Clara finished her breakfast and continued her work. She didn't want to stall for time, the sooner she finished, the better.

On the other hand, in the President's room, which is in an office building.

Bram was checking some files that were already on his desk. Unlike before, the work is somewhat less dense.

Bram connected his phone to his private secretary whose room was next to Bram's and connected by a door from the inside. That way, when Bram needed his secretary, his secretary didn't have to enter his room through the main door. Bram asked his secretary to come to his room.

"Is my schedule until the end of this month only this?" asked Bram.

"Yes, sir. And all the work is done domestically. There is only one business trip to Germany before the weekend," said secretary Bram.

Bram nodded and sent his secretary out of his room. Bram continued his work. There was no time for him to relax even though the company was his, he still worked hard at his job. Of course, the building is not as easy as maintaining. They never know how people seem so busy working and still working even when they are sleeping.

***** Time elapsed.

Bram looked at his Patek Philippe watch, which was again a limited edition. Yes, he likes limited edition items.

It was five in the afternoon. Bram came out of his room with his briefcase. Several of his staff who were preparing to leave the office greeted him. This was the first time that Bram left the office at the same time as the office staff's return.

Bram didn't have too much work today, so he could go home early.

Bram got into his Bently and asked the driver to drive him to Clara's apartment. Lately, he's been returning to the apartment more often than to his own house. Even though it was clear last night he fought with Clara. Of course, the atmosphere will feel awkward. However, no matter what, Bram would do whatever he wanted.

Arriving at the apartment, Bram asked the driver to leave him and pick him up the next day at the apartment.

Bram entered his apartment unit and looked deserted. Clara was nowhere to be seen.

Bram went into his room and again did not see Clara. He thought Clara was still in her boutique.

Bram cleaned his body and after that went to the kitchen. No dinner there. Bram put on an apron and made dinner. He cooks swallow's nest soup. His body feels fresh. Of course, it will be fresher if you eat the soup.

After he finished cooking, Bram plating the soup into the bowl. He sat at the dinner table waiting for Clara to return.

'There's nothing wrong with having dinner together,' murmured Bram with an even expression.

Time passes quickly. Bram waited quite a while. The soup was even cold, but Clara didn't come home either. Bram took his cell phone and was about to dial Clara's number. But he gave up his intention. Bram rarely contacted Clara when he wasn't in the same place.

Bram shifted his chair, he sighed harshly and got up from his seat.

'Just throw away the soup, I'm not in the mood to eat it! ' annoyed Bram.

Bram went to his room, leaving behind two bowls of soup that he was enthusiastically cooking.

While in Clara's study, Clara slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised because the sky looked dark from the windowpane.

'Oh my gosh, I overslept,' Clara muttered.

Yes, Clara fell asleep after a long day at work.

Clara got up from her chair and walked out of her working room. Her throat felt dry and she went to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water and drink it.

Clara's brow furrowed when she saw the two bowls of soup on the dining table. Clara approached the soup and watched it closely. Bram's favorite soup.

Clara looked at the stove and sink, everything looking neat and clean. However, there was still the pot that Bram used when cooking soup. Clara opened the lid of the pot and saw the rest of the soup there.

'Is he here? ' Clara muttered.

Clara went to her room and saw no one. Clara saw that on the bag hanger was Bram's bag. So it's true that he's in her apartment, Clara thought.

Clara went into the bathroom, she would clean her body first before meeting Bram.

After cleaning her body, Clara put on hot pants and a tight black T-shirt that showed her curves. She left the room and went to the dining table. She thought Bram was already at the dinner table. But again Clara did not see Bram there.

Clara tied her hair up and put two bowls of cold soup in the microwave to reheat it.

A few minutes passed, the soup had finished heating and Clara put it back on the table. She looked for Bram in his room, and sure enough, Bram was there.

"So how long have you been here? Did you make that soup too?" said Clara.

Bram just remained expressionless. His gaze was focused on his laptop.

Clara sighed and approached Bram.

"Let's eat. I've heated the soup," Clara said.

Bram was silent and stared at Clara for a moment. After that, he got up from his seat and left his working room leaving Clara who snorted in annoyance.

'Seriously, he didn't say anything. Has he become mute? It sucks,' Clara grumbled.

Clara followed Bram to the dining table and sat across from Bram. Bram was still silent but started eating his soup. Clara didn't say anything either and chose to eat some soup.

After dinner, Bram lifted his bowl and was about to put it in the sink, suddenly Clara's hand grabbed Bram's hand.

"Just keep the bowl, I'll keep it," Clara said.

Clara was surprised when Bram put the bowl down hard enough and Bram pushed Clara's hand away.

Clara pounded the table, she had been quite patient with Bram's attitude since last night. Bram had gone too far, she thought.

"Am I that disgusting in your eyes? Then don't touch me anymore and let's end it all!" said Clara.

Bram was surprised and glared at Clara. He approached Clara and gripped Clara's arm quite tightly.

"Are you threatening me?" growled Bram.

Clara grimaced in pain, Bram's grip was very strong she felt. Clara was sure that Bram's grip would leave a mark on her arm.

"You're annoying! I've been patient with you!" annoyed Clara.

Bram forced Clara into the room and threw Clara's body on the bed. Clara clutched her dizzy head. This was the first time Bram had treated her so harshly, and there was hatred in Bram's eyes. However, somehow Bram behaved like that, Clara never even felt like she was doing something wrong. Although because of Viona's problem last night, Clara had tried to apologize to Bram, Bram refused.
