Chapter 43
Theo tries to calm down Zetta who still looks emotional. Though he said nothing, Theo knew what Zetta had in mind.
"I know, you must think that Helia did all this, I thought so. But I hope you don't take rash action without proof" Theo warned.
Zetta turned his head and looked at Theo at a glance. His best friend always reads his mind well.
"Just calm. I'm not going to do something that could backfire on me" Zetta said.
"Goodoo. I hurried here when I saw the trending video. I think you must be in trouble. Turns right. I hope in the future you don't drink alcohol anymore so as not to become an easy target for people who want to bring you down." Theo reminded me again.
Zetta breathed a long sigh.
"Yes, I know," he said. Without Theo telling me, he intends not to touch alcohol again in the future. He really has to be careful if he doesn't want to get back into trouble.
"Then how was your statement? Now the news must have spread if you and I were dating," Zetta said, turning to Theo.
"Leave it. Why why?" Theo responded indifferently.
"Surely your boyfriend isn't angry or misunderstood?" ask Zetta.
"You think I have a boyfriend? Theo asked back.
"Well, how do I know." Zetta shook his shoulder.
"If you agree to be my girlfriend, then I actually have a boyfriend" continued Theo.
Zetta threw the man with the pen he was holding, so Theo chuckled.
"If you don't want to, you already have. You can wait for Keenan to separate from Helia, then return to the man" Theo said without burden.
"Your flirting isn't funny, you know!" sergeant Zetta won't take it.
Of course Theo laughed the more crisp he made.
"OK, okay. I'm not kidding anymore" Theo said as he tried to stop his laughter.
Zetta folded her arms around her chest while exhaling a rough breath. He really did not want to be involved with Keenan or Helia in the future. But somehow always comes a situation that makes him have to face again with the annoying couple.
"Why don't they just get married and move to space" Zetta said.
"Oh, don't think too much. You better focus on projects that are currently underway." Theo entertaining.
Once again Zetta sighed, before then nodded slowly.
"Then I go to my office first. If there's anything, just call me right away" Theo said again.
Zetta nodded and escorted Theo to the front of his study.
After Theo left, Zetta sat in her big chair while pensive with a serious expression. His memory floated back on the figure sleeping beside him last night. The question came back to his mind, didn't he sleep with the man?
But it feels impossible if there are men and women in the same bed without doing anything.
Zetta tries to think rationally. If he had slept with the man, then he would have to do something so that nothing would happen in the future. He picked up the paper left by the man last night, and he tried to contact him.
'Sir, whoever you are. Looks like we've spent the night together. But we're both grown-ups. So I hope you don't think it's anything special. Please send me your account number so that I can send money to compensate you.'
Zetta sighed once more after sending the message. He hopes that the man is cooperative and does not cause problems in the future.
Meanwhile, Keenan, who was guarding Helia at the hospital, looked to have checked the secret cell phone he gave Zetta. He was somewhat surprised to find an unanswered call from a contact number he believed was Zetta's. There was also a message from the number. Keenan pretended to go to the toilet to open the message.
Keenan's face immediately looked sour as he read the message Zetta had sent him. Turns out it wasn't enough for Zetta to insult her when she was drunk last night. This time the woman also treated Keenan as if Keenan was a paid man.
Keenan's mood turned very bad. Maybe because Zetta always adored him, now he feels so bad when ignored and not considered by the woman. But wait, is this what Zetta used to feel every time Keenan ignored her? Not once or twice, but Keenan ignored it almost every time for six years they lived as a married couple.
Keenan sighed. His feelings suddenly became very heavy. Guilt was in the deepest corner of his heart even though again he tried to deny the feeling.
Not wanting to drag on thinking about Zetta with bad feelings, Keenan came out of the toilet and found Helia sitting on a hospital gurney watching television.
"What are you watching?" asked Keenan while sitting near Helia's bed.
"Ah, that. Gossip event," said Helia pretending to be surprised. Though since then he waited for Keenan out of the toilet to participate in watching the gossip show he was watching at this time.
Keenan would not want to come look at the television. His forehead creased slightly as he watched Theo, the heir to one of the country's most influential businessmen, announce that he is officially in a relationship with Zetta.
"I always felt guilty about Zetta because she thought I was the one who ruined your marriage. But now he seems to have found a replacement and looks happy. I'm so happy to see it," said Helia in her soft-spoken style as usual.
Keenan didn't say. His heart suddenly became erratic. He felt that something was breaking inside him right now, but I don't know what. His breathing even became hunting involuntarily.
"If now Zetta has met her partner, it means that in the future she will not be a shadow between us anymore. Yeah, right, Keenan?" ask Helia to provoke.
Keenan turned to Helia, then tried to smile despite the fact that his hands were clenched strongly with emotion. She recalled Zetta saying that she would soon find a man who was more everything than she was. Is the man Zetta refers to Theo?
"Here you go, don't talk about anyone else. Just eat your lunch. Why didn't you touch it?" Keenan switched the conversation.
Helia smiling. He thinks Keenan doesn't care about the Zetta news.
"I don't eat hospital food. It feels bland," said Helia in a somewhat spoiled tone.
Keenan took his breath back. For some reason now she became uneasy whenever Helia let out such a spoiled tone.
"I'll order food for you using delivery services. What do you want to eat?" asked Keenan while pulling out his phone.
"It's up to you" said Helia.
Keenan did not ask any more. He immediately ordered all the food that he remembered was Helia's favorite food.
Not waiting for long, a courier came to deliver the food. But instead of feeling happy, Helia instead looks upset because all these foods turned out to be Zetta's favorite food. Of course, Keenan ordered a meal written by his pen pal who was actually Zetta, not Helia.
"Why? Isn't this all your favorite food?" asked Keenan when he saw Helia looked tasteless.
"Now I don't like it anymore. My food tastes have changed" Helia said alibi. Although upset, he certainly did not want to until Keenan knew that the one who wrote the letter to the man was Zetta.
"Please remember my favorite food that is now, not what it used to be" Helia said.
"alright. Now eat this one. It's been bought already" said Keenan in a flat tone.
Inevitably, Helia also ate all Zetta's favorite dishes with a cocky feeling.
