Trapped in Jorell's Love
Chapter 7 - The ice is still frozen

Mazaya's arrival at the office is seen by Jorell. The man immediately approached Mazaya and pointed at Mazaya with many questions.

"Why won't permission tell me? Our contract is close. Then what business do you permit? It seems so important. To the extent that the call from me you ignore. Not even my message is there anything you've returned."

"There's no reason for me to answer that question" Mazaya answered and walked into the room.

"Oh, I thought his heart was melting. It turns out that the ice is still frozen. Huh!"

Jorell let out his breath. He returned to work, peering into Mazaya's room. He was always curious about what the woman was doing. His indifferent, cold and untouchable attitude made him more interested and continue to want to get closer.

Time passed too. Jorell was already waiting for Mazaya in front of the building. When the woman came out, Jorell asked her to speak.

"Can't we help each other? Can't you trust me and think I exist?"

Hearing this, Mazaya turned his head and looked at Jorell.

"Who thinks you don't exist?"

"You" Jorell replied.

"For what reason did you conclude it all?"

"You've always avoided me if it wasn't about work. You're always so cute as if we don't know each other" Jorell replied.

Mazaya took a slow breath.

"To be ignorant does not mean not to assume the presence of someone. But that's my way of not over-interacting with people. Because to me, such a thing is not important and a waste of time. Did you get here?"

Jorell actually knows. He just wants Mazaya to know that he exists and is always there for Mazaya. Can't she trust him a little? At least if there are more urgent things in front of him, he can be told and not made curious constantly.

"I thought you should understand" said Mazaya, then walked away from Jorell.

"Why is it so hard to get close to you? What else do I have to do?"

Jorell finally went from there by a different path. She would go home to dinner with her mother and sister.

Arriving home by taxi. Jorell paid for his cab and didn't forget to thank him. The man walked into his house whose gate had been opened by the guard for seeing their Young Master coming.

"Welcome Young Master. It seems like I haven't seen you in a long time. Surely the madam is very pleased to see your arrival."

Jorell chuckled. Then return the greeting of his security guard.

"How long? When I get home from London, we meet. Even the time frame was only a few months ago, there had not been a year. So not long ago."

"Haha, yes Young Master is right."

"Then I'll go in, sir. Thank you for opening the door."

The guard nodded as he watched his young master walk towards the entrance of the house.

With a casual step, Jorell walked into his house by opening the door. He walked through the living room and went to the dining room near the kitchen.

There, there's nobody. Naturally there was no one, indeed the time for dinner had not come. Jorell went there to fetch cold mineral water in the refrigerator. I think it should be once. Not to forget he also brought a little snack on top of the refrigerator.

After that, Jorel went to the living room. He immediately turned on the television and watched the drama series. Although somewhat less liked, Jorell still watch it because there are no other shows. He doesn't like to watch the news, he doesn't like to watch sports. What he likes is watching cartoons, anime and the like.

Jorell tried to watch the drama until the end. Until dinner time arrives. The voice of her mother asked her to the servant.

"Bi Sum, have you seen Jorell come?"

"okay."

Margaret went straight to the family room. Sure enough, Jorell was there with a sitting position leaning on the end of the wall with a few snacks in front of him.

"Why didn't you come home?" reproof Margareth.

Jorell turned to the source of the voice and looked at his mother who was at the door.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd know for yourself. But I just wanted to remind my mom of one thing. I didn't come home ma. I came to fulfill my words yesterday. Because yesterday I couldn't come to dinner together. So, for tonight I decided to come. But after that, I'll also go home to the contract."

There was a rough breathing from Margaret.

"All right, let's eat together. Your brother must be at the dinner table by now."

The atmosphere of dinner was very quiet. There's no chatter in it. Because that's the rule. There was only the sound of spoons, knives and forks clashing slightly.

After dinner, you are allowed to make a sound.

"Until when will you stay on that team? Mama has given you time. But, mama also can not if you continue to follow all your requests. The company needs a leader."

Jorell understands and understands. But, he remains on his ego who does not want to be CEO in the near future.

"Until I'm bored" Jorell replied.

Jefrey also talked.

"Here you go, if Jorell doesn't want to be forced. I can still handle everything anyway. Let him enjoy his time and work on that team. After all with him there make all the work dealing with graphic design so quickly finished and the client also likes the results. And because of that, our company so much to get clients both from inside and outside."

Yes, her brother was the most understanding. Always knew what Jorell wanted. She is grateful to have a sister like Jeffrey.

"Huh! Alright. Mama won't force anymore. Actually, Mama invited you to dinner last night because she wanted to tell you one thing. Mama wants to match up one of you with your business partner's son."

Jorell surprised. Even though he had thought that his life would definitely continue to be arranged by his mother. But he did not think that his love story would be like that.

What was even more surprising was that her brother actually offered to be betrothed to the mama's partner.

"Let me be betrothed to that mama's partner. I'm the first kid, so it's better the first kid gets married first."

"All right then. Mama will immediately tell my mama's partner," he said and left the dining table.

The two brothers were still sitting there. Jorell stared fixedly at his brother's face.

"Are you okay with being set up, brother?" ask Jorell to make sure.

"No, I already know. Surely mama will match both of us with the choice of mama. I'm still alone and I don't like anyone. So there's no harm in accepting that match," she replied.

"Oh!" Jorell took his breath slowly.

"Maybe if I, I'd refuse an arranged marriage, if mama did it again."

"I know, therefore, look for a partner who, if you're going to like the person, as well as her family background" suggests Jefrey.

Jorell smiled wryly. He found someone who could attract his attention. However, that person was not in the same social status condition as him. What happens if it goes against the flow? Will there be a debate?
