CHAPTER 10
Thana was so shock at what she saw, the room screams man. This is not her room, she rushed towards the kitchen where Elias is cooking "HEY!"
Elias was busy cooking when Thana screamed making him stop.
"ARE WE SHARING ROOM? Who told you I agree with this? Who told you about this? Is it my dad? WOW UNBELIEVABLE! My father can just give me to anyone?!"
Thana was fuming mad at what she discovered that she keeps blabbering not letting Elias speaks the reasons.
How can her father do this to her?
Elias put the ladle on the plate and lean on the kitchen counter staring at Thana "Are you done?"
Thana found Elias’ moves hot that she stuttered and her eyes can't look at his "No-o, it's just unbelievable. I can't sleep sharing bed with y-you."
"Who says we'll share a bed?" Thana was confused at what Elias said, but her things are in that room. Does that mean she just embarrassed herself assuming anything?
"We don't share? But why is my things there?" She asked.
"I just put those for the mean time, my house keeper only comes her once a week and she's on her way to clean your room."
Thana can't meet Elias’ eyes, she kept moving and she just wanted the floor to eat her.
"Why didn't you told me earlier?" Thana’s voice became small out of embarrassment
"How can I speak when you talk to much? You're so nosy"
"Excuse me? I'm not, I was just a bit shock seeing my things in that room" Elias just tsked and picked the ladle to continue his cooking.
Thana left rolling her eyes and went to Elias’ room to pick her things.
She got her things and went downstairs before going to the living room she needs to pass by the kitchen so Elias’ saw her carrying her baggages by herself.
Their eyes meet but Thana just rolled her eyes and continued walking towards the living room.
Elias finished cooking so he went to his room to take a shower. As he went up he saw Thana watching T.V in the living room. Their eyes meet again but Thana roll her eyes and avoid it "Tss, weird"
Elias wore a suit and went downstairs to grab a lunch. Thana was still watching, she wass so serious watching a movie.
"Let's eat" Elias said, Thana didn't look at him.
"I'm full, maybe later" Still emersed to the movie.
Elias ate his lunch and grabbed his YSL bag and car keys and went outside the house.
Before going out she passed by Thana who was still watching drama "The house keeper will be here any minute, just tell her what you want."
Thana still didn't responded so Elias continued walking and left to work.
-
Thana was watching a movie in where the leading man is on his middle age and he looks appealing even with his age. Men on their late age are so hot and charismatic.
A knock stopped her from imagining mature men. It's a woman on her 40's "Hi, good day ma’am”
"Hello! Are you the housekeeper?"
"De! Are you Mr. Elias’ girlfriend?"
Thana was confused what to say, should she say that they didn't pass the girlfriend and boyfriend stage and jump over to being married? "Ah, kind of"
"Ahhh"
"Can you please clean my room first? It's just I'm so tired I want to take a nap."
"Of course ma'am but if you're really tired you can sleep in Mr. Salazar’s room. You're his girlfriend anyway so it's allowed."
Thana froze at what the housekeeper said. She won't go to that room again, no!
"Ahh hehe (awkward) I'll nap after you clean my room."
The housekeeper went to her room and started cleaning when her phone rang.
It was Jennyfer . Thana picked it and put in on loudspeaker to continue watching the movie "Ohh? Jennyfer, why?"
“I heard you move already?" Thana roll her eyes 'cause she knows already where this conversation is going "How is his house? Is it big?"
"Oh" she answered coldly.
"How about your room? Is it big?"
"Yes"
"Did you bought new lingerie"
Thana was shocked at what Jennyfer asked "Why would I buy a new one?"
"You didn't? You should have, this is your first night"
"Jennyfer! Whatever you're thinking, stop that. We're not gonna do that. Yucks!"
Jennyfer laughed at Thana’s remark, she's still the baby she knows. So innocent and unknowledgeable about things like this.
"I'm just joking. Tell me tomorrow about your first night 'aight? I have a photoshoot bye!"
"Jennyfer, we don't share a room!"
Thana shouted to respond to Jennyfer and clear whatever Jennyfer is thinking but she ended the call already.
"Aish! Really!"
-
Elias’ meeting ended earlier, the proposal was not accurate that he ended it early.
The mafias will be here any minute, they plan to talk about the plan they need to execute.
The first one who arrived was Levi, as usual together with Yohan.
" I went to a nearby academy when I read your text" Yohan said.
Elias just nodded and the three went to the hide out first.
After minutes, the other mafias arrived so they started talking.
"What's the plan now?" Levi asked.
"The Jones has lots of plan coming, including parties and all. I heard they'll hold a party next weekend, how about that?" Arthur said.
"We can't attack" Lucas said.
"Why?" Levi asked.
"We don't have any evidence yet, we can't just attack him and let him confess. We don't know what kind of person he is." Nathan said.
"We need to find out first the reason why he killed our love ones" Yohan said.
Elias was just listening when the mafias looked at him. Elias just looked back and think.
"Any plan Elias?” asked Arthur.
"Every party has different hidden agenda, let's just check and maybe make an impromptu plan." Elias said.
"Is that possible? Going there without preparation" Lucas asked.
"Arthur can go and see Mr. Jones, you are famous to old businessmen. Maybe you can get informations." Arthur nodded to Elias and picked his phone to text someone.
"When is this?" Yohan asked.
"It's on this weekend, Timothy Jones is gonna be there. What should we do to him?" Arthur asked.
"How about you join Arthur, Elias? And join the party. You might get some informations from Timothy." Nathan suggested.
They're all so serious planning when Levi suddenly clapped and snapped his fingers "I know”
The mafias looked to him "Elias’, you're so lucky" Elias was confused same as the others.
"Thana is Timothy’s ex girlfriend right? Why don't we use her?" Levi said.
The mafias looked at each other wrinkling their forehead of confusion.
"Levi, are you sick?" Elias asked.
"What?! My idea is brilliant." Levi said frowning.
"Do you know Thana isn't Timothy’s girlfriend? You made a plan of me marrying her to hit two birds with one stone but it failed."
"You told me they're dating" Levi said.
"I did? When?" Elias frowned, trying to remember if he's the one who told him.
"You told me you saw them both kissing in the club."
Elias remembered the first time he saw Timothy after many years and kissing a girl, it was Thana.
"Okay, I'll join the party." Elias said.
"Bring Thana with you, I know there's something about Timothy and Thana." Levi said.
-
Thana is getting ready to go to the club, she took a bath at her room and wears a black dress. She choose to pair it with black boots and straighten her hair.
She was doing her make up when she heard a footsteps from the stairs. She thought it's the housekeeper so she stood up and went towards the door.
She opened the door and walkrd out to be surprised by a big physique in front of her. She looked above and saw Elias’ face looking down on her.
She almost jump to her surprise, she was inches away from his wide shoulder.
She walked back and passed by Elias but she stopped when he spoke "You're going to work?"
She is hesitating whether she'll turn back or not but she chose the latter "Ahh y-yeah”
Elias didn't respond so she thought he's done so she proceed walking near the stair to be stop again.
"Clear your sched this coming weekend night"
Thana was curious at what Elias said so she turned back quickly that she accidentally step on the first step of the stair and almost lost her balance but she quickly grab the stair handle. She was so nervous and afraid that she stood up quickly and walked forward away from the stair.
Elias was shock at what happened "Hey!”
Thana stood up straight and looked at Elias, his face is unreadable. His forehead was wrinkled and his stance was weird too. Looks like he's ready to run and catch Thana if ever she fell and wasn't able to grab the stair handle.
"Why are also so clumsy? Why would you turn so quickly?" Thana was shocked at what Elias said, it's the first time Elias speaks loudly.
"What will I say to uncle if you fell over?" Elias saw Thana’s expression that it made him realized what he just did.
Elias turned back and walked towards his room.
He's almost at his room's door when he stopped and never looks back at Thana.
Thana is confuse to his behavior. Is he angry or worried? She can't tell.
"Just clear your sched and buy a nice dress. I have a party to attend to, a wife is needed so you better come or else" Elias looks at her, he's eyes is mixed with anger and power that Thana stepped back.
He opened his door and slams it close leaving Thana confuse of his behaviour.
