Are you gay?

At 7 am ...

With his sleep-deprived eyes, Robert walked into the bar and saw his thugs sleeping on the couch.

"Hey, you idiots!"

He immediately approached the thugs and took a drink bottle that was still filled with a quarter and then splashed it on them.

"Ugh...!"

The three thugs immediately woke up with a start and stood up unsteadily in front of Robert.

"I pay you all to work, not to be trash here!" said Robert with a sharp gaze. "You should look for her until you find her!"

"Sir, we intend to look for her again but we also need rest," replied one of the thugs.

"There's no rest until you find it!" Robert confirmed with his voice loud to hoarse. "If you guys have to rest then she will go farther and farther, you stupid!"

The thugs lowered their heads as if realizing their mistake.

"Why are you quiet now? Find her and drag her here before Darren comes!" Robert glared, and the thugs immediately went looking for Angelica.

From the door, Emma looked at Robert who was pacing back and forth confused while calling someone. She smiled faintly and imagined that Angelica might have gone far away with her friends so that the thugs would not be able to find her again.

"There's no point in you trying to find her, she must have gone far," she said.

Robert immediately turned his head, glaring at Emma. "You...you idiot!"

"Why? My daughter has the right to be free!" Emma confirmed.

"Yeah, she deserves to be free, then after that, you will die!" shouted Robert loudly, looking at Emma hatefully. "No one will give you money for treatment. Your disease will kill you, and no one will be able to prevent it anymore. If Angelica marries Darren, at least you will get continuous money for treatment! Remember you're living on medicine!"

"I don't care..." Emma shook her head. "I would rather die than live but make my daughter suffer!"

Robert approaches Emma. "How can you say she will suffer? Darren can give everything, give her a better life!"

"Of course, she will suffer, in fact, you always saw that before!"

"That's because she didn't follow his rules!" Robert said with a grin. "Now think about confronting Darren if Angelica doesn't come back. He will ask for his money. Then what will you do? What can you do? Can you return the money? It's like you don't know what it's like to be grateful to him...indirectly he saved your life...he's just rude, but he would be nice if Angelica also obeyed him!"

"But that can't be happening, Angelica doesn't love him and she can never be with him!" Emma confirmed worriedly. "After all, I never asked him to pay for my treatment..."

"But you swallowed the medicine I bought with the money he gave, you idiot!" Robert pointed at Emma's face. "You say you don't want it but you consume it, you enjoy the money!"

Emma exhaled roughly, and looked in another direction, one felt offended by Robert's words.

"You and Angelica seem to have used him without giving him what he wants, here you are the sneaky ones, not him!"

Emma looked back at Robert. "Angelica will find a job and she will get money and give it to Darren!"

Robert smiled thinly. "Do you think your daughter will get a job soon? Do you think Darren is willing to wait for the money to be collected?"

"He has to..." Emma looked away again.

Robert was silent, thinking there was no way he could escape from Darren without Angelica helping him. .he wasn't even ready to give back the money he still kept, because he had business to go on.

'I just need to get Angelica back so I can always get money from Darren. If I let her go then I'll be in trouble, and who will give me money for free?' he said to himself, glancing at Emma who was about to leave. 'That means she knows where Angelica is going... I'll look into it and tell Darren. If I can't return the money to him then he will keep looking for Angelica, besides he is already crazy about her.'

In a minimalist villa not far from the beach, Charlie was sitting relaxed on a yellow couch on the terrace while enjoying breakfast and the very fresh morning view. The man looked very fresh wearing shorts and a dark blue t-shirt that couldn't cover the tattoosword in his arm. Opposite him, was Angelica who was enjoying a cup of hot Chocolate by looking at the beach, so pretty in shorts and a hoodie, while her hair was flying in the breeze.

'Oh, damn... Why is she so fresh? I want to see those lips moving and those beautiful eyes looking at me.' Charlie chuckled in annoyance inside, unable to stop himself from being fascinated by Angelica.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked spontaneously.

"Nothing," Angelica answered without turning around, then took a sip of her hot chocolate. 'Of course, I think about my mother. Now I feel like should I leave or stay? but maybe if I stay here then Darren will come back to disturb my life Maybe he will even give money to Uncle Robert again so he can have me again ... but I'm worried about Mom. Last night without her felt so hard... I can't confirm whether she has taken medicine or not,' she thought, unable to stop imagining her thin mother.

"We're going to your uncle's house maybe around

1 pm," Charlie said then ate the soft bread with chocolate jam filling in it. "My assistant will come with the 1 million dollars," he continued.

Angelica immediately turned to Charlie who immediately smiled at her.

"Can you reduce the money? It's too much!" she assured.

"um..." Charlie bit his lips. "But... I can't. I've asked my assistant to withdraw 1 million dollars from the bank."

"You can reduce it by..."

"Okay, now I want to know something," said Charlie before Angelica finished speaking.

"What?" Angelica narrowed her eyes.

"I want you to remember how much money your fiancé gave to your uncle and mother. If it's possible it doesn't reach a million dollars then the rest of the money I will give to your mother and uncle so they won't be in trouble again even if you have to go," explained Charlie then sipped his coffee. "it could be a big help to them...and you'll calm down...live with me in San Diego."

Angelica glanced at Charlie in horror.

"I mean live with me as a maid, not a mistress." Charlie clarified because Angelica's glances seemed to show him doubt.

"Do you have a wife?" Ask Angelica.

"No..." Charlie shook his head. "After all, I have a wife or a girlfriend, it doesn't matter to you."

"Oh, yeah..."Angelica nodded her head. "That's not a problem at all... after all I'll only work for you... if that's what makes you happy as payment for my debt." She smiled faintly, feeling embarrassed because she had asked about Charlie having a wife or not, of course, it didn't matter at all to her if Charlie was just trying to help her.

'Besides, not all rich men will like me, I don't always look beautiful in the eyes of all men,' thought Angelica.

Charlie smiled glancing at Angelica who was dreaming while looking at him.

"You don't need to worry, I don't have a wife or girlfriend yet, in fact, I never intended to have them, I don't like it," he said.

"What?" Angelica was surprised.

Charlie raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean you never intended to have a wife or girlfriend?" Angelica asked suspiciously.

"Because I don't like..."

"Wait wait ..." Angelica looked at Charlie's athletic and sexy body. "Are you gay? you like to ..."

"You can just say that," Charlie exclaimed before Angelica spoke what was on her mind.

"Oh, shit..." Angelica immediately looked at Charlie oddly, imagining him kissing another man.

"Hahaha..." Charlie chuckled, amused by Angelica's expression thinking he was gay.

"I never thought of having a gay employer," Angelica muttered with an uncomfortable look.

"Who's gay anyway?" Charlie asked.

"You!" Angelica answered

"No, I'm not!"

"Then what did you say just now?"

"You think I'm gay when I say that you can assume I'm gay, and that doesn't mean I'm gay," Charlie explained, then sighed, trying not to laugh again. "I'm a normal guy, I'm even very strong... I can make love with five girls at once," he continued then went back to drinking coffee.

Angelica was even more scared, looking at Charlie's fit and well-built body as if to support his statement.

'What's this? Or maybe he likes to buy girls to keep him company every night? Then what's the difference between him and Darren?' she wondered but immediately turned his head away.

"You don't need to worry about who I am and what I like... You just need to be a maid in my mansion," Charlie said as he placed his coffee on the brownish-white table in front of him.

"Mansions?" again Angelica was surprised, imagining having to be a maid in a mansion. Immediately she imagined having to clean up the entire large room whereas before she just often relaxed and I was never tired.

"My mansion is big, has 20 bedrooms and I have 12 dogs, then one lion," said Charlie.

"My God, lion?" Angelica looked at Charlie fearfully.

"Yeah, but I won't let you give food to that lion…. I don't want her to eat you because your meat looks delicious," Charlie said casually, trying to hold back his laughter at Angelica's expression. 'You will be surprised when you arrive at my mansion,' he thought.
