Chapter 13: Resign from job
Arthur is having dinner with an important client at one of the family’s restaurants. It was a request from a client who really liked the restaurant. Even so, the family restaurant has a VIP room. Actually, Arthur didn’t really care where he was, the most important thing was that his work was finished quickly and he could do whatever he wanted.
“I think this is enough. I’ll be counting on you, Mr. Arthur,” said Jacob, one of the investors in Arthur’s IT company. A man who was not far from her age and was quite easy to do business with. An easy target that Arthur loved so much.
Arthur smiled sweetly. He stretched out his hand for a handshake. “Don’t worry, you’ll be satisfied.”
After that, they decided to go home. Arthur allowed him to go to the toilet and let Jacob go home first. He also ordered Juan, his secretary to take Jacob to the restaurant lobby. Arthur finished his affairs and then washed his hands in the sink. When he looked for a phone to call Juan, he couldn’t find it anywhere. In the pockets of the coat and pants, absolutely nothing. Arthur remembered again that he also intended to return to the private room they previously occupied. However, he forgot exactly where the room was. Finally, with his hazy memory, he began to guess where the room he had previously entered was. Arthur had been looking for a maid to ask for help. However, not a single waiter passed by.
“Looks like this room,” Arthur muttered as he looked at the door that was not much different from the other doors. The man without hesitation, opened the door, his gaze became flat when he saw a pair of lovers making out passionately. He couldn’t see her face clearly, but he didn’t care because it was none of his business. Because Arthur did not want to disturb someone who was being controlled by lust, the man finally closed the door carefully without making a sound.
“L-let me go!”
Arthur stopped his hand after hearing a voice that didn’t sound like a sigh but instead struggled with displeasure. Arthur knew very well the types of sounds when making out. And the woman’s voice, is not one of these types of voices. The man looked at the pair of lovers, he seemed to have guessed wrong.
.....
They are not a couple. From his uniform, it was the uniform of a waitress in this restaurant and ... Arthur’s eyes widened at the sight of the woman’s face whom he knew so well. Unknowingly, his hands were tightly clenched, he walked over to them and directly stepped on the back of the asshole who had been harassing Kalea.
Yes, that woman is Kalea. Her sugar baby.
“Huh? Who are you-”
Arthur didn’t allow the man with the mustache to utter a single word from that despicable mouth. He continued to trample on the man until he was finally helpless. Arthur’s breath hitched, but he still wasn’t satisfied with hitting him. His eyes flashed hatefully, he wanted to step on the man’s neck, but Kalea pushed her away.

He felt disapproved when he saw the girl’s clothes were messy, the color of her lipstick had faded. Kalea pulled his arm to get out of the room. Arthur could feel Kalea’s hands shaking. He knew that she was trying to look fine. After feeling safe, Kalea let go of Arthur’s hand and turned to face the man.
“What are you doing and why are you here?” Kalea asked, which only made Arthur even more annoyed.
“Huh? Out of the various thanks, was that the word that came out of your mouth? And I should be the one asking that!” Arthur replied, looking very angry.
“I ... that ...,” Kalea couldn’t explain anything because her fear was still holding her back. Her body trembled, her eyes began to tear up. Of course, she was very grateful to Arthur for helping her. She didn’t even think that the man would come. Tears started to roll down the girl’s cheeks. “Thank you ... Arthur,” Kalea whispered, she was sitting on the floor because her legs were too weak.
Arthur looked at the girl. His emotions still haven’t subsided. The man who had a mole under his eye was now squatting in front of Kalea. “Why are you there? Who is he?”
“My boss,” Kalea answered so quietly. She continued to wipe her lips while being harassed by John. Disgusted, very disgusted. Kalea never thought that even her manager would harass her like some of those jerk customers.
“Quit this job,” Arthur’s finale made Kalea widen. She looked up at the man.
“W-why?”
“You’re still asking? What you’re going through isn’t going to be just once! He’s your boss, right? The one who was supposed to protect you but instead harassed you,” Arthur replied with a small smile. The man helped Kalea get up. “I’ll take you home.”
“B-but I-”
“You still want to work at a time like this? Listen to me, Kalea, I’m really, really mad right now. You better not argue.”
Kalea got a little goosebumps seeing Arthur’s face at this time. The man really does not play with his words. No matter what people saw, Kalea kept her head down and let Arthur lead her to the car. The girl was a little surprised when she saw a man sitting in the passenger seat.
“Arthur, who-”
“Juan, you can take a taxi home,” Arthur said as he dragged his secretary out of the car.
“W-what?!” screamed Juan increasingly not understand. “Wait, I was waiting for you, but suddenly you brought a woman?!” Juan was very familiar with his boss’s habits, not once or twice did Arthur act arbitrarily. However, compared to the women he had seen so far, the woman Arthur was currently carrying still looked childish.
“I’ll explain later. Here, I’ll give you the fare,” Arthur said as he handed the money to the secretary, whom he considered very much like his own brother. “Be careful on the road, Juan.”
Juan couldn’t help but stare in disbelief as Arthur drove the car and actually left him there alone. “Patience, Juan. You do have to be patient with that maniacal man.”
“Arthur, why did he have to be taken down? I feel bad,” said Kalea, even looking back.
“You don’t need to think about it. It’s used to him,” Arthur said very casually. Kalea frowned as the man pulled the car to the side of the road. She was a little scared because Arthur would want to continue the conversation earlier. And sure enough, Arthur was now looking deeply at Kalea, with those gray eyes that seemed to hypnotize anyone who looked back at her.
“Answer me, how many times have you experienced something like this?” Arthur asked.
Kalea bit her lower lip then looked down. “It’s the first time by him ....”
“By him? Who else was harassing you?! The other employees?” Arthur kept asking.
“No! My friends are so nice. They don’t do that ....”
“Who is it, then?”
“Some ... customers,” Kalea replied in a stifled tone. She could hear Arthur’s heavy breathing.
“And you still want to work there? I told you the last time we spoke that I wanted you to stop working. And now this is what you get,” Arthur grumbled. Honestly, he didn’t even understand why he was so emotional now.
“Because before I couldn’t pay the penalty! If I resign, I have to pay it. I’m also in torment, Arthur. Please don’t keep nagging me,” Kalea whispered, she tried her best not to cry in front of the man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArthur’s heart softened, he immediately took Kalea into his arms. Apologizing over and over again for making her even more depressed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m annoyed with myself for not realizing quickly that it was you who was being touched by that bastard,” Arthur said while kissing the top of Kalea’s head. The girl began to calm down again, even though her relationship with Arthur was not a relationship that was viewed well by those around her. Only, Kalea felt safe when she was by his side.
“Why are you there?” asked Kalea, really curious.
“I did have dinner at that restaurant. And I left my phone, but I forgot where I left it,” Arthur replied, even though he forgot what his original purpose was.
“Have you found the phone?”
Arthur shook his head. “I don’t give a care anymore, it’s just one cell phone and it’s no longer worth it.”
“How can you talk like that in front of a poor girl like me,” said Kalea, frowning in annoyance, making Arthur even more guilty.
“That’s not what I meant! I only have your contacts on that phone, that’s why I’m still looking for them. Since you’re now with me, I don’t need to care about the others anymore,” Arthur explained, so that Kalea wouldn’t misunderstand.
Kalea felt like there were butterflies flying in her stomach after hearing the man’s explanation. She knew Arthur was a sweet-spoken man, but she can’t deny that she was a little happy.
“Back to the topic. How much of a penalty do you have to pay? Is my money not enough?” Arthur asked.
“M-More than enough ... but, the manager said he would increase my salary. I’ve been asking him for a long time, but this is the first time he wants to grant the request,” replied Kalea, explaining the initial chronology. “But as it turns out, he also wants to ask me something. My salary will be increased if I agree to sleep with him.”
“What? Sleeping with you? I haven’t done it yet! You bastard ...” Arthur cursed, making Kalea a little surprised. “Ah ... sorry, carry on.”
“That’s why I tried to refuse until you finally came to help,” he continued.
“Tomorrow you submit your resignation to the old man. Let me pay the penalty,” Arthur decided and couldn’t be bothered.
“It’s okay, Arthur. I’ll pay for it, I don’t want to make you-” Kalea couldn’t continue her words when Arthur kissed her lips without any warning.
“I don’t like being rejected at all. I don’t feel bothered either,” Arthur interrupted, his gaze so serious it made Kalea’s heart beat fast.
Kalea held her breath even more as Arthur continued to stare while rubbing her lips. “Looks like I’ll have to keep kissing you to get your jerk ex-manager off.”
“E-eh?”
Arthur really wasn’t kidding. He continued to kiss the girl’s luscious lips and occasionally bit her. The man didn’t let Kalea take the oxygen supply. However, Kalea liked it.
