The Bastard Mafia (Falling In Love)
Is that how close they are?

Two days later

This afternoon some employees of the Romanov Ent Company looked so noisy and exclaimed happily in the room of the shooting studio. Because after work they will celebrate the success of four models who managed to get an exclusive contract to become a brand ambassador of one of the luxury products and famous among the fashion world based in the City of Paris.

It did not escape the approval of Jennifer, when Jane gave a proposal to appreciate the success of several models and employees who have worked hard, he said, so Jennifer as Director provides a place in one of the luxury restaurants and of course all costs are borne by the company. Pampering the employees and models and artists in the company is always done by Jennifer in order to establish a good relationship between the director and his subordinates.

This afternoon at 6 pm, the luxury restaurant appeared to be filled by several visitors from the Romanov Ent Company. Hustle and bustle filled the room with a variety of menus presented, not forgetting some brands of alcoholic beverages to be their dinner companion.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the impromptu celebration, spend time eating luxurious foods such as good nutrition after a day full of energy they drained, not least Jennifer. The beautiful director pinned a smile to find all his employees and models looking happy like that, as if able to fade the burden that might carry them. Jennifer's view now centers on Billy, her lover is one of the models who managed to get an exclusive contract, not her intervention, but because of the man's hard work.

Jennifer always put aside personal affairs with work affairs. Similar to his brother, he does not look at the fur of his closest people even though, all are needed equally in his company. Jennifer's smile slowly subsided as her gaze shifted to the figure of a beautiful and mature woman who was none other than Clarisa. The woman sat down with Billy. Both are often suggested as a matching couple. It is not uncommon for some of their fans to match them.

Jennifer did not realize if she took one glass containing alcoholic beverages, so once sip the drink, she suffocated. "Why does it taste bitter?" That's why Jennifer doesn't like alcoholic beverages that she thinks are weird. Among his friends, he was the only one who did not drink alcoholic beverages.

A pair of eagle eyes watched Jennifer from her position which was only one table away from Jennifer's table. The man was Nico, since then many employees and models who tried to blend in with him, trying to get Nico's attention. Nico's profession as a bodyguard was not cared about, because the handsome face and athletic body Nico was able to hypnotize anyone who looked at him. But Nico had no interest in welcoming their warmth and hospitality. The goal was just to be there because of Miss Jennie. If Miss Jennie does not participate, Nico prefers to lay her body on the bed.

Nico stood up, then approached Jennifer when the Lady again wanted to take a sip of the drink. "Miss, alcoholic beverages are not suitable for Miss." Nico remembers how their first meeting was at The Cavern Club. From her observation, Jennifer could not drink. Then what is this? Miss Jennie tried the drink.

Jennifer gasped, even the drink that went into her mouth failed to slide down her throat, causing her to choke. Jane, sitting next to him, took a napkin to wipe the corner of Jennifer's lips.

"Why did you surprise me, Nico?" After wiping her mouth cleanly, Jennifer protested Nico who approached her suddenly.

"I'm sorry Miss, I just wanted to remind Miss not to drink." Though soft, Nico's gaze intimidated Jennifer.

"Yes, I remember." Jennifer rolled her eyes lazily. "I'm just drinking a little."

"Even a single drop of boss can smell the alcohol on Miss's body."

"Good, I forgot." Jennifer stuck, he even forgot his brother and his parents who had returned to London one day ago and now the brother and his small family are staying at the main Mansion.

"I have to wash my mouth" he murmured. Jennifer hurriedly stood up from her seat. If he is caught drinking a little, then all day he will only hear the babbling of the super protective brother.

Nico chuckled at Jennifer's lost back behind the wall. Just let Ms. Jennie drink alcohol. If he does not prevent it, he will be chopped up by the boss, because before his big boss was mengultimatum himself to keep Jennifer away from alcoholic beverages.

After cleaning her mouth in the sink, Jennifer stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her appearance has now appeared mature from the last few years, but somehow in the eyes of her brother and both parents, she is still a little girl. Long enough to be in the bathroom so Jennifer decided to get out of there, but how surprised she was when someone pulled her hand into the corner of the room. Both Jennifer's eyes bought to find that someone was Billy.

"Billy, what are you doing?" Jennifer looked around and thought nothing was coming.

"I feel like I'm pissed off to death, why is it so hard to talk to you like this?" Billy rubbed Jennifer's hair framing her lover's pretty face.

"Aren't we talking?"

"That's different, baby. You spoke to me as the director I worked for. But right now, in front of me, this is my lover."

Jennifer smiled, why is Billy always this sweet?.... "You better come back. What if someone's looking for you?"

"Give me a hug?" pinta Billy's. Somehow he has a bad feeling that will affect their relationship.

Without a doubt Jennifer hugged Billy, he became guilty because he always ignored Billy and the two were busy with their respective jobs, so rarely had time to be together.

Jennifer unraveled their embrace before someone saw them cuddling. "I'll go back to my desk. You better come back, too."

Billy nodded. "I'll go to the toilet first."

"All right...." While pinning a smile, Jennifer first returns, leaving Billy who has entered the toilet.

***

The dinner celebration had been running for almost three hours but among them no one had decided to go home. They still feel at home for a long time there, enjoying free time to clear the mind of the tired work. Jennifer is seen talking to Jane and some of the employees, though in fact they feel a little awkward mingling with their director. But Jennifer is a humble boss so every employee likes the woman.

Footsteps slipped in his hearing, the tail of his eyes glancing towards the footsteps it came from. The person who had just walked out of the restaurant was none other than Billy. Nico ignores Billy's existence as if they are invisible to each other.

"Your relationship with Jennie looks very close." Billy opened his voice first once he managed to sit his body on the wall divider that is lower than the other wall.

"Hem, so." Nico said lazy.

"You know, if we've been together for a long time" Billy said. "Although I don't like your closeness but I thank you for taking care of her all this time. Ever since everyone knew the truth about her true self, it was not uncommon for someone to try to take the opportunity to approach her." Billy looked up, who looked was the flat face of Nico who was not friendly with him.

"What includes you?!" nico with insinuations.

"What do you mean?" Billy begins to be lured into Nico's words. "You suspect me?!" Billy would not accept.

"Look, I just asked." Nico threw a cigarette in any direction.

"Your question is like insinuating me?!" cetus Billy's upset.

"I keep Miss from people who want to take advantage of and hurt her." Nico's words make Billy chuckle.

"You don't have to tell me, because I can protect Jennie. So you better not forget your position which is only a bodyguard. Your only job is to keep Jennie so don't cross your line!" exclaiming Billy. He must assert his position of importance in Jennifer's heart.

Nico slipped a smile full of ridicule. Billy's words were just like the wind then that tickled his stomach enough. Someone who was nothing dared to say that to her? Seems like a little lesson to Billy doesn't hurt. "It seems I should remind you not to mess around behind Miss Jennie!"

Billy's face stiffened for a moment, even he stood up with a hardened jaw. "What do you mean?"

"You must not lose your memory, you know better what you do without the knowledge of the woman you call your lover." It felt like Nico was eager to put his fist on Billy's face that looked so annoying. Nico took one step closer to Billy and then whispered something. "I have a lot of eyes, whoever's on Miss Jennie's side, can't get out of my sight." Then Nico pat Billy on the shoulder. "So be careful.." he added full of warning to make Billy's face paled instantly. Somehow that sentence was able to give a shock to Billy.

Nico twisted his body about to pass from there with a grin on his face. Want to play with him? I have to think a thousand times. Nico's steps suddenly stopped when Jennifer approached him. "Why did Miss come out?"

"I'm looking for you." Jennifer is not aware of the existence of Billy who is still in place because it is blocked by a wall. "I think I should go home, it's almost late. Brother Vie will kill me if I'm late." It was better that he looked for safety because his brother would protest him if he was late to come home.

"All right, Miss...."

"Hem, do I smell alcohol?" Jennifer sniffed her scent.

Nico chuckles. "It doesn't look like Miss."

"All right, let's go home" exclaimed Jennifer. Until it unconsciously made Billy who accidentally listened to them heat up, his heart was filled with flames of jealousy.

Nico nodded, he followed Jennifer inside to say goodbye to some of the people inside, as the rest had already gone home first.

Is that how close they are?

Billy is only able to see his lover's back without being able to reach out. Looks like tonight saw a vast distance between her and Jennifer.
