Chapter 32
32 Adjust To Being There
Kalea had just finished taking a shower, she walked to the study table to resume studying, but her cell phone rang. Her brow furrowed when she found out who was calling, Kalea hesitantly picked up the call.
“Hello?”
[Are you in the apartment?]
“Yes, what’s up?”
[I was around your place. Can I visit you for a bit?]
“Oh, of course.”
Kalea blinked when the girl immediately ended the call. She got a message that Zeline was already downstairs. Kalea immediately came out to meet her. She was very surprised when she saw Zeline’s appearance, which was quite messy, even the girl’s smooth cheeks looked red, as if she had just been slapped.
“Are you okay?” Kalea asked, a little scared. She opened the door and let the blonde girl in.
.....
“Wow, this is really great,” Zeline said as she looked at the place. Kalea walked towards the kitchen, preparing a banquet for Zeline. “Where’s the bathroom?”
“That ... you can turn right, after that-” Kalea blinked as Zeline immediately looked away towards the place she was looking for. Though Kalea hadn’t finished saying it yet. Ah, she has started to understand Zeline’s attitude and doesn’t really mind it.
Kalea put food and drink for Zeline on the table. Not long after that, Zeline came and approached her with a much better appearance than before. They didn’t seem to talk much, Zeline ate her dinner while checking her cellphone. It looks impolite, but Kalea is still curious about what happened to the girl.
“I just broke up with one of my sugar daddy,” Zeline said suddenly, making Kalea a little surprised. “He didn’t accept it and ended up treating me harshly and slapping me on the cheek. Luckily, I was able to escape,” continued Zeline. However, she looked very relaxed in the face of such a frightening incident.
“Ma-may I ask you one thing?” Kalea asked, a little scared.
“Just say it.”
“How many sugar daddies do you have?”
“Only five. Ah, now it’s four because I ended the relationship with the previous one,” answered Zeline nonchalantly.
“Only?” Kalea couldn’t believe it, Zeline was really great to have so many of them. She was just facing Arthur, she was very tired, what if she had to face a lot of men like Zeline.
“That’s not with men who ask for services from me even though they are not sugar daddy,” said Zeline while sipping the orange juice provided by Kalea.
Kalea is even more amazed at how Zeline divides her time between the men. “Do they know if you don’t serve just one person?”
“Of course they don’t know! They will be angry if they find out they are being cheated on. Men are very selfish, they are free to have many women, while we can’t do it and have to be loyal to them. I’m so sick of it,” Zeline answered, with a face that was so annoyed. “Is Arthur like that too?”
“Eh? I don’t know ... I’m not close with any guy besides him.”
“If he has made you feel enough, it’s better to just keep the relationship. But if you suddenly meet someone who makes you fall in love, of course you have to choose him. That opportunity doesn’t come once or twice,” said Zeline, giving advice.
“So ... you haven’t met someone you fell in love with?” Kalea asked.
Zeline was a little surprised by the question. “Yes, I haven’t.” The girl got up from her seat, seemed to be going somewhere again. “Where’s Arthur? Not here?” Zeline asked.
“He doesn’t come here every day,” Kalea answered simply.
“So what do you do when he’s not around?”
“Hmm, study.”
Zeline snorted softly. “You’re really crazy for studying. How about you come with me?” asked the girl.
“Where to?” Kalea asked, surprised.
“Releasing fatigue,” answered Zeline briefly. “Club, you know that right?”
“I know ....”
“But you’ve never been there, have you? I want to have a little fun after the problem,” said Zeline. “I’m kidding, you must be uncomfortable being there. Thanks for the food and for having a guest like me,” she continued as she walked towards the exit.
“Wait a minute! I ... will come with you,” Kalea said, making Zeline a little surprised.
“Are you sure? I was just kidding.”
Kalea nodded firmly, she asked Zeline to wait a moment, then she changed her clothes and made up a little. Zeline was a little impressed because compared to when she hadn’t introduced Kalea to her dark world, Kalea didn’t really understand how to dress up and her geeky sense of dress. Now Kalea was completely different, she was really very charming.
After that they went to the club that Zeline always visited. And did not expect to see Arthur, who was busy making out with a woman.
“W-why are you here?”
“I ....”
“Please have a seat, you’re Kalea, right?” asked Dariel while smiling faintly at Kalea.
“Y-yes,” replied Kalea, a little fascinated by Dariel’s good looks, although not much different from Arthur. It’s just that, for some reason, Kalea feels that Dariel has a calm and not weird personality like her sugar daddy.
“I’m Dariel, Arthur’s friend.” Dariel extended his hand to shake Kalea’s hand.
Kalea happily accepted it, she smiled back at the man. “Kalea, nice to meet you.”
“Oh, it’s nice to meet you too,” Dariel replied, with a sweet smile.
On the other hand, Arthur’s face became sour seeing the interaction between the two of them. “My question was not answered.”
“Why are you so curious? Is it because we interfere with your sex activities?” Zeline sneered while sitting beside Dariel. She asked the waiter to put some more alcohol on the table. While Kalea was pulled by Arthur to sit next to him.
“It-”
“I really can’t understand it. He has been caught twice by Kalea playing with other women,” Zeline said, intending to heat up their relationship.
“Twice? It’s great Kalea is still sticking with him,” Dariel added.
The corner of Arthur’s lips twitched in annoyance, he understood very well the behavior of the two people. “What are you guys ... after all, she already knows because it’s written in the contract,” Arthur explained.
“Is it true?” Dariel asked Kalea. The girl just nodded, looking very relaxed. Soon after that, the waiter brought some alcohol and drinks that Kalea ordered. A glass of mocktail.
“Do you drink alcohol?” Dariel asked while pouring alcohol for Zeline.
“Ah, I’m not,” Kalea replied politely.
“She’s a good girl, don’t make her naughty,” Arthur said as he put his arm around Kalea’s shoulder.
Zeline’s face went blank, what nonsense is that?
“Weren’t you the one who made her naughty?” Zeline asked lazily.
“Ah, you’re right,” Arthur said, smiling shamelessly. Zeline and Dariel just rolled their eyes in laziness.
“So why are you here, Lea? Did Zeline make you come over?” Arthur asked.
“No way! She said she wanted to find another man because if only one, of course was not enough,” Zeline replied casually.
Arthur widened his eyes in disbelief, moreover Kalea didn’t seem to deny Zeline’s words. “I-is that true?” Arthur asked, looking at Kalea’s hazel eyes. “You can’t do that!” Arthur forbade, while hugging Kalea tightly. Zeline and Dariel were surprised that Arthur’s reaction was too exaggerated and a little ridiculous. Kalea was just silent like a doll that didn’t matter how she was treated, she didn’t argue or say a word at all.
Too tired of dealing with Arthur’s ridiculous nature.
Zeline and Dariel looked at each other. It was as if they were telepathing about what they were thinking. Because Arthur is not usually possessive of women.
“Let’s go home, this place is not good for you,” said Arthur as he got up from his seat and pulled Kalea’s arm to leave the club.
“Hey! She just came, don’t immediately tell her to go home again!” Zeline protested, not agreeing.
“She’s not comfortable here,” Arthur said, his face turning serious. Kalea was a little touched when she found out that Arthur was aware of her condition. One of the reasons why Kalea is more silent is that she is holding back and adapting to a place she is visiting for the first time. Full of cigarette smoke, the smell of alcohol, flickering lights, and loud music. A place that really doesn’t suit Kalea. “Let’s go home,” Arthur said again.
Kalea removed Arthur’s hand from hers, she smiled gently. “It’s fine, just let me be here for a bit.”
Arthur stared at Kalea for a long time, looking for honesty in the girl’s beautiful eyes. Arthur sighed, and finally nodded. If that was what Kalea wanted, she couldn’t force it. For some reason, his heart melted when he saw Kalea’s smile.
