Chapter 31
Every time a woman offered to accompany him, Arthur still didn’t accept. His mind was still full of the earlier debate with Albern. He had drunk a bottle of alcohol and there was nothing left, but Daniel had not come yet. He reached for his cell phone to call Zeline so that Dariel could come faster. However, the man who is a doctor finally came.
“Arthur,” Dariel called, he was a little worried because his friend looked pathetic at the moment.
“Oh, you came!” Arthur said with a big smile. Daniel sat up, he looked around looking for someone.
“Where’s Zeline?” asked Dariel.
“She’ll catch up in a minute,” Arthur lied. It was just an excuse for Dariel to come to accompany him. “You still like her, huh.”
Dariel didn’t answer, he poured the alcohol into a small glass and took a sip.
.....
“She’s happy with her sugar daddy,” continued Arthur again.
“Are you sure she’s happy?”
“You’re not sure?”
Dariel no longer answered. To be honest, it had been almost two years since the man had liked Zeline. When he first met the girl with the blonde hair, Dariel had fallen in love at first sight. It’s just that he always hides his feelings, so Zeline doesn’t even realize it. Only Arthur knew about it.
Dariel always holds back his jealous feelings when he sees Zeline’s intimacy with many men. He knows, he is absolutely nobody who has the right to ban Zeline. He knew the girl’s family and financial condition. Even though he wanted to help, Zeline always refused and always thought she was too much of a jerk for a nice guy like Dariel. All Dariel did was wait for Zeline and little by little moved closer to Zeline so that the girl realized his feelings.
He also knew that if Zeline had kissed her own friend, her heart would have ached, but knowing how the two people behaved made her understand a little. He couldn’t be angry with Arthur because Zeline was the one who was curious. Daniel recognizes that Arthur’s allure has always captivated many women. Arthur was no longer too teasing Zeline after knowing Dariel’s feelings for the girl. From the start, Arthur only thought of the girl as his own sister and made it clearer after Dariel told him that he liked Zeline. Even now, Dariel’s feelings haven’t changed.
“So, what’s wrong? I know you asked me to accompany you because you’re in trouble again,” Dariel said as he leaned his back on the sofa.
Arthur was silent for a moment, he had poured the alcohol into a small glass many times and drank it immediately. Daniel watched his friend, who seemed stressed.
“Don’t get too drunk, you idiot.” Dariel reminded.
“I haven’t had much to drink, you know.”
“So?”
“My dad came to the office and forced me to get married again,” Arthur began to tell the story. Dariel listened without any intention of interrupting. “Of course I refuse again because I haven’t thought about it at all. I still want to have fun. But if I keep being bombarded with the same questions, of course I’ll also go crazy,” continued Arthur as he ruffled his black hair.
Dariel knew the reason the man didn’t want to get married. Arthur didn’t believe in women. His friend was once betrayed by a woman to make him a jerk like this.
“Actually your parents just want to see you happy and worried if you keep playing with women,” said Dariel.
“... I know.”
“Does the woman you’ve been close to have none of the criteria suitable for you to marry?” asked Dariel.
“Not unsuitable for marriage, but I don’t want to get married yet and have no more serious interest in them.”
“Ah, I see. How about Chelsea? Haven’t you been close to her lately?”
“We only share a bed, she already has a boyfriend.”
Dariel looked disbelievingly at his friend, while Arthur looked relaxed. “You make love to someone who already has a boyfriend?”
Arthur raised an eyebrow. “It’s not the first time I’ve done it.”
“You’re such an asshole,” Daniel said, making Arthur chuckle softly.
“I know.”
“Then what about Titania?”
“Not my criteria, she’s too spoiled.”
“Camille?”
“She’s even more spoiled.”
“Hmm, Wendy?”
“Soon she’s getting married.”
“Are you still in touch with her?”
“Not anymore, I haven’t seen her lately. She is probably busy with her future husband and wedding.”
“Are you sad?
“Not really, I’m glad she got the happiness she didn’t get from me,” Arthur replied with a meaningful smile. Among the women who always surround him, it can be said that Wendy is the one who has the longest relationship and suits the woman Arthur wants. Wendy always asked him to have a more serious relationship, but Arthur always refused. He was relieved that Wendy finally got the love of a man who loved her sincerely.
“One more thing,” Dariel said, still wanting to mention Arthur’s women one by one.
“Who else would you like to name?”
“Your sugar baby. What’s her name? I forgot.”
Arthur’s eyebrows rose, the man was silent for a moment. “Kalea.”
“Yeah, what about her?”
“She’s ... attractive. I like to tease her because her response is always refusing but not really resisting when I’ve touched her.”
“The denial type, eh?”
“A little,” Arthur replied, with a smile as he remembered the girl. Dariel was a little suspicious of his friend’s change in attitude after talking about a sugar baby who had recently been in a relationship with his friend.
“Are you starting to like her?” Dariel guessed.
“Sure, I like her.”
“It seems I asked the wrong question. Are you starting to feel comfortable and fall in love with that girl?” Dariel asked, correcting his words.
Arthur sighed, he smiled at Dariel. “I haven’t thought of it that way, and I really don’t want to get married yet, Dariel. Please understand me, don’t be like Albern,” Arthur whined as he put his arm around his friend’s shoulder.
“Yes, yes. It’s up to you. But I became curious about Kalea and wanted to meet her,” Dariel said.
“Yes, later you will meet her.”
“In here?”
“No, I don’t want to bring her to a place like this.”
Dariel was a little impressed to hear that, Arthur didn’t usually forbid a woman.
Not long after that, several women in their mini clothes began to arrive at their table, Arthur finally accepted the two women to accompany him and Dariel. They chatted for a while though, with their hands starting to be naughty with each other. Meanwhile, Dariel just put his arm around the woman’s shoulder and didn’t want to go any further. He simply desired to be accompanied by a normally speaking companion.
Arthur could no longer be spoken to seriously because the man had started to have fun making out with the woman. Arthur grew more aggressive in kissing the woman, and his hands began to go inside, squeezing his co-star’s chest. The woman started to climb onto Arthur’s body, rubbing her crotch against the man.
“Let’s go to the room,” the woman whispered in a seductive voice.
“Ah ... not yet,” Arthur said, and he again kissed the woman’s lips viciously.
Dariel rolled his eyes lazily, he watched the people who were still having fun. The man just realized that Zeline hadn’t come here yet. His eyes locked on the girl he knew very well.
“Arthur, looks like Zeline has come,” Dariel said, but Arthur didn’t respond because he was still enjoying his play.
Dariel narrowed his eyes when he realized that Zeline was not alone but with one more girl who was no less beautiful than the girl Dariel loved.
“Looks like she brought her friend. So pretty, that people immediately turn their attention to them. Arthur, they came,” Dariel said, but his friend still didn’t pay attention. He took a deep breath. “You’d better rent a room now, idiot.”
Dariel shook his head at Arthur’s behavior. He politely asked the woman beside him to leave him alone because his friend had arrived. “Arthur, Zeline’s friend is very pretty. I like her cat-like eyes,” Dariel said again as the two girls started walking towards their table.
Arthur’s eyes were rounded, he immediately stopped his lovemaking activities.
“What’s wrong?” she asked because Arthur had stopped fondling her.
“Finally you came,” said Dariel when Zeline was right at their table.
“Huh? You were waiting for me to come? And what did Arthur do?” Zeline asked while pointing at Arthur, who was still under the woman.
“As usual,” replied Dariel simply. “She’s your friend?”
Zeline nodded. “She’s Arthur’s sugar baby.”
Arthur asked the woman to stay away from him even though the woman protested because her activities were interrupted and she immediately left the table. Arthur looked at her in disbelief at what he saw. Kalea felt the same way.
“Wh-why are you here?”
