This afternoon Arthur looked fresher after almost two weeks of looking somber and full of aura of darkness. What he just said to his Daddy was quite a relief, it was not that bad to say honestly about his feelings. It was evident that Daddy Xavier appreciated it and even fully supported it, no matter where the woman came from. Rich and poor, his parents did not see that.
"fr, Mr. Okada just came." Darren's voice running behind him broke Arthur's daydream. Darren just got a short message from Mr. secretary. Okada.
Arthur did not reply, only his head seemed to nod in response. His steps accelerated as soon as he arrived in front of the private room. Arthur entered first after Darren, his arrival was greeted enthusiastically by the middle-aged man from Japan.
Business talks can be said to go well. Mr. Okada is not as bad as you think. Although they repeatedly argue knowledge about a project that their company will live. But in the end, Mr. Okada accepted Arthur's proposal. The corner of the eye decorated with rough strokes is seen knocking a thin line, indicating that Mr. Okada smiled behind her slightly haughty and alot face.
Two hours with Mr. Okada and finish lunch. The two men of different generations were resigned to each other. Mr. Okada must return to Japan today, but he promises to return to London and asks Arthur to accompany him. Arthur responded, That's what Mr. Okada if you already like someone's personality, it will continue to try to stick. But if it is hated, the old man will reject the cooperation between companies, even though it will benefit both parties.
Darren's delivering Mr. Okada got to the door, while Arthur chose to be on the balcony for a moment to refresh his mind. Darren's approach sneaks up on Arthur's sense of hearing.
"Der, did you get Helena's phone number?" he looked up at the beautiful Central City of London from the height of Gong Restaurant, Shangri-La The Shard Hotel. Even from its current position presents London Bridge under which flows the River Thames with a calming current.
Indeed, since morning, Darren was assigned to contact the men who were trying to find the woman's mobile number. Hope if they succeed and don't need to see Arthur messing around with him all the time.
Darren reached into the phone in his suit pocket, coinciding with the notification of an incoming message from one of the men. Darren's smile was on the corner of his lips, Goddess Fortuna sided with Arthur, because their men managed to get Helena's mobile number.
"Our men just sent a message. They managed to get Miss Helena's new mobile number." Not only Darren, the corners of Arthur's lips also appear thinly curved.
"Give it to me." Really, Arthur was impatient to hear the woman's voice.
"They said Miss Helena only used the phone number during the day and night. Looks like Miss Helena really doesn't want to be tracked down by anyone." That's what Darren got from the message of one of the boys. Darren then hands his phone to Arthur. The man examined the phone number, before copying it inside his phone and returning it to Darren.
"I'll try to reach him, Der. Maybe he activated the number." Arthur actually did, hitting the number he just saved. There was a waiting tone on his phone line, marked if the woman's mobile number was active. Arthur hastily activates the loudspeaker
"You heard Der, my call was connected" he said, smiling thinly. Darren just nodded and was in his position while watching around. He did not want to hear their conversation.
Arthur stared at the expanse of the Thames below, waiting for someone to answer his call immediately. Until at the fourth waiting tone, someone was heard there raising his call. Arthur was almost upset that the woman had answered him too long. But after being answered, there was no reply for a while.
"Hallo Love...?" Arthur made a sound first. I don't know who picked it up, he didn't care. But he was very sure if the answer was none other than Helena.
"Who is this?" There was a loud and gentle voice asking who was contacting him. Right, Arthur had guessed that the voice that was heard was Helena's voice. The woman's voice was very different in her ears.
"Ouch, has it really been that long?" Annoyed, the woman did not recognize her voice. Though Arthur had deliberately called the woman with 'Love' like a charade they had ever done. But look, in just two weeks the woman had forgotten herself.
Silence moment. Perhaps hearing a familiar voice made the woman a little surprised. "Arthur....?" muttered. Tucked in a tone of disbelief if the one who contacted was Arthur.
"Ehm, you finally remember me."
Long wait for an answer, but no reply back across there. Arthur's forehead frowned deeply, he looked at the screen of his cellphone which was already in a state of death. The woman cut off the phone unilaterally.
"Shiits!! He turned it off, Der!" upset ass. Arthur tries to contact Helena again, but unfortunately the woman's mobile number is not active. Darren only glanced over, then what if the woman didn't want to talk to anyone.
"Maybe Miss Helena is surprised, Ar. He's in recovery, his psychic hasn't recovered properly." That's the only word to calm Arthur down. At least Arthur could understand and temper his anger.
"He's not crazy, Der!" arthur did not accept.
"And I didn't say Miss Helena was crazy. He's under the influence of high hallucinatory drugs and needs recovery for a few weeks."
Arthur let out a rough sigh, even though what Darren said was true. But it's already inflamed. To catch his irritated hunting breath, Arthur gripped the balcony barrier. Trying to understand and give the woman time in recovery.
"Spread some men to watch over him!" his word cannot be disputed.
"I did, Ar." True, there have been many men who spread almost all over the city of Paris and around the hospital, where Helena was treated there. And that was on Arthur's orders a few days ago.
"And one more thing, keep an eye on Jorge. Whatever he does must be reported to me!"
"Ehm, they are currently watching over Jorge's residence" Darren said.
Arthur won't just let go of Jorge and Margaret. If all his investigations proved their involvement, he would not stay silent and would give them a lesson.
"Mr Arthur?" And the woman called out to Arthur who had just crossed her.
Arthur and Darren stop their steps. Then the two looked at it simultaneously. Both of Arthur's brows were deeply linked when he saw the figure of the woman before him. Very familiar.
"We meet again."
Arthur did not say hello to the woman who exclaimed happily. He failed to remember the woman in front of him.
"We met at The Foyer At Claridge's Restaurant" she recalled Arthur from their meeting. But Arthur did not flinch, he still did not remember the woman.
"She's Caroline Bonham, sister of Miss Helena," whispered Darren behind Arthur as her friend and boss failed to remember.
Arthur reacts after hearing Darren whisper. It turned out that the woman before him was Helena's younger sister. "What's wrong?" However, he was not interested in their meeting at the time.
Caroline gasped, Arthur's resolute voice proved that the man was really cold to anyone, including beautiful women like himself.
"I-I just wanted to say hello to you." And in the end Caroline's guts shrieked, not daring to go back to acting as if they were close to each other.
"The carol? Where have you been...?" Two women approach Caroline. But the two gasped for surprise to find a stranger.
"Mr Arthur?" Both of them could barely believe the figure of the man they admired was within such a close distance.
Arthur flinch, serving Caroline alone he's lazy. Especially if you add two other women. "We're leaving, Der!" And in the end Arthur chose to pass away leaving the three women who were flabbergasted because of Arthur's charm.
"The carol? Why are you with Mr Arthur? What are you guys talking about?"
"Yes, say it quickly! Do you know each other?"
The question made Caroline laugh lightly. He was still staring at the trail of Arthur's shadow with his assistant who slowly vanished from his sight.
"I'll prove it to you if I can get it" exclaimed Caroline proudly. He believes that if Arthur actually has an interest in him, just need to aggressively approach the man.
"What's? so you really know him?" his two friends were hard to believe.
"Yes, I know her" said Caroline chuckling and lying.
"Then sooner or later you will become Caroline Romanov."
Hearing the Romanov surname embedded in his last name makes the imagination of Caroline soar.
"You're right, soon my name will be changed to Caroline Romanov!"
