Hot Enemy charm
Chapter 22. Stay There
After meeting with Gilmer, Kyler then returned with a step that looks a little lackluster. What's wrong with him? He also took his feet to the kitchen. True, Madeline who saw that was astonished and immediately approached him.
“Are you okay?” ask Madeline.
Kyler who was not so attentive at the time became startled. “Oh, yeah. I'm okay.”
Madeline knew that she was just pretending. His face clearly showed something that was not okay. However, the butler did not want to question or question. He knows very well what rights and privacy are.
“Come here," call Madeline gently. “Sit down, it looks like you need a cup of coffee.” He immediately made a cup of coffee and gave it to Kyler.
Without commenting, Kyler sat down in the dining room for the waiters and brewed the coffee the butler had given him. Twice a gulp, he stopped then put down the cup he was holding.
“Espresso?” kyler asked as he looked at Madeline. Without hesitation the butler nodded.
“Red eye coffee's. You must have heard of it, right?” Madeline spoke while monitoring the work of the other servants.
The same thing was done by Kyler. In addition to talking to Madeline, she also noticed the faces of some of the maidservants who looked busy there. The curiosity about someone who attacked him last night has not gone away.
Where is that guy?
“No,” replied Kyler impressed indifferently.
“Really? I guess you weren't as busy as you used to be getting to know ordinary things like this.”
For a moment Kyler turned to Madeline and went back to brewing her coffee before the middle-aged woman saw her face change.
I'm really busy, Made.
“People call it red eye coffee. This is an American variation of coffee that combines brewed coffee with espresso. This combination of coffee is stronger than regular coffee. This coffee can be a stronger stimulant and keep the audience awake. In addition, red eye coffee can also increase concentration.” Madeline explained at length after seeing Kyler's flat response.
“See your face is not excited because of that I made. Hopefully better after drinking it,” continued Madeline.
Kyler was a loyal listener, just nodding and continuing to enjoy the concoction made by the butler to the toilet. He thanked Made and intended to leave the area.
“Thanks, Made. After today maybe I will come here often and ask for the same concoction,” Kyler said as he blinked his eyes.
Madeline laughed at the young man's behavior. “As far as you are, Son.”
Those words sounded along with a slightly firm clap on Kyler's arm. Without the middle-aged woman noticing, Kyler was enduring the pain.
“Ba-fine. I gotta go, Made. Bye ... arghh ssshhh.” Kyler who could not stand it then grimaced because of the pain.
“Ouw, I'm so sorry. Is the wound open again?” Made immediately realized the mistake of raising both hands like a captured suspect.
Looking at the blood that seemed to seep on the sleeve of the shirt, Madeline was shocked and immediately held Kyler's steps. He immediately re-examined the wound he had treated yesterday. Sure enough the incision opened again and even enlarged. Madeline knew very well that if it was just yesterday's injury, it wouldn't be this big.
“No.” Short solid and clear.
“Then what?” Madeline pushers but Kyler reluctantly explains.
He gives up and rushes to heal Kyler's wounds. The young man with a beautiful face noticed Madeline's face that began to wrinkle. Convincing sincerity mingled the anxiety there. He also remembered his mother's figure.
“Night someone attacked me in this place,” I'm Kyler in the end.
Madeline's startled reaction corroborates Kyler's guess that there's someone new in the place besides her. However, Kyler did not want to question anymore. He'll investigate it himself.
After his arm was treated, Kyler soon passed from there with a much better look and mood. It seems that a cup of red eye coffee really changes everything.
I don't know, but it looks like I'm going to stay there.

“Of course, darling. He will come with me, but not as my bodyguard.”
“Have fun and see you tonnage, darling.”
The phone call on the other side ended with Loretta getting out of bed and walking towards the walk in closet. The young and beautiful woman seemed to sort out some of the best dresses with famous designs.
“I'm sure the little rat will be present. So, I have to look stunning.”
Time spinning impatiently brought darkness quickly. Both Kyler and Loretta are preparing to attend a conglomerate and business party in Chicago. Of course this will be a good moment for Gilmer and his daughter–Loretta. However, in addition to the father and son who looked like the main character, there was a beautiful creature who was also doing the same thing.
“Why are you looking at me like that, Made? You don't trust me?”
A soft voice with a natural beautiful face that was smeared with thin makeup, seemed to prepare well. Madeline who saw that became worried.
“I'm already big, Made. I can take care of myself. Please, just pray for your beloved.”
Madeline just sat languidly on the bed that was not too big there while continuing to look at the beautiful princess.
“Go. But remember–”
“Jaga this family's good name. I see, don't you?”
