Chapter 41
41 Finally Met
Kalea was really nervous.
She had been walking back and forth in front of the door since Aluna would come to the penthouse today. Meanwhile, Arthur looked relaxed, enjoying the coffee made by Kalea and engrossed in checking his work data on his laptop. After a while, Arthur was fed up with seeing Kalea’s behavior, which he thought was too much.
The man took a deep breath. “Calm down, why are you so nervous?”
“I-I’m not nervous,” Kalea said as she let go of the finger she’d been biting on all this time. Even though it was printed very clearly if the girl was worried.
Kalea gasped in surprise when her cell phone rang, and it turned out to be from Aluna. The girl with the burgundy hair had arrived at the lobby.
“I’ll go downstairs first,” Kalea said as she went out to pick up her best friend.
“Luna,” Kalea called after seeing Aluna sitting on the sofa. Aluna was a little impressed and felt strange about her best friend’s appearance. Not like the one she always saw on campus. Aluna looked at Kalea up and down.
“Lea? You’re really different,” Aluna said with a smile.
“Ah... looks weird, huh?” Kalea said, a little embarrassed.
.....
“No! You’re so beautiful, I’m very impressed!” Aluna praised making Kalea even more embarrassed. The girl with the brunette hair just chuckled softly and asked Aluna to go up to the top floor.
Aluna was amazed by the buildings and facilities in the apartment. Really only for the upper class even though Aluna is also not from a poor family. From the first, Aluna wanted to live in fifty apartments. However, the parents have not allowed the child to live alone. Yes, Aluna is so spoiled by her family. Anything will be given as long as you don’t live alone. Sometimes, Kalea is jealous of Aluna’s life, which is full of love from her family, which Kalea doesn’t get at all.
“Lea, is your sugar daddy that rich?” Aluna asked when they were still in the elevator.
“Eh? Ah ... quite rich?” Kalea replied, looking doubtful.
“Wow, you’re so lucky.” Aluna didn’t see the man’s figure very clearly, all she knew was that he was handsome. The posture is stocky and wide, the face is cold and sweet at the same time. Aluna is getting curious and can’t wait to meet her best friend’s sugar daddy.
They finally arrived at the designated floor and then exited the elevator towards the large door of Kalea’s penthouse that Arthur had given them.
“Luna, I hope you don’t have high expectations of him,” Kalea said.
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“He’s a weird and flirty guy, so please don’t take it to heart,” Kalea continued.
Aluna was even more curious because Kalea’s words were so ambiguous. The door opened after Kalea entered her fingerprints. Both are equally nervous under different conditions. Kalea took Aluna to the living room because Arthur was already there. The man’s position didn’t change at all.
“Arthur,” Kalea called as she walked over to the man. Alana followed her.
Arthur who was focusing on his laptop was really very handsome, the man’s serious face could not be doubted. If only Arthur wasn’t a pervert and had traits like Garren’s lecturer maybe Kalea would have been captivated from the first meeting. Kalea will fall in love at first sight, even though their age gap is a barrier between them. Unfortunately, Arthur was born an asshole, and Kalea only loved his money.
Arthur turned to face the two girls, a faint smile on his lips as he rose from his seat to greet the guest.
“This is my best friend, who wants to meet you,” Kalea introduced. Aluna reached out to shake Arthur’s hand.
“Aluna Leteshia,” the girl said with a sweet smile.
“Hello, Miss Leteshia. I’m Arthur, someone close to Kalea,” Arthur replied as he accepted the outstretched hand. Kalea didn’t take long to look at Arthur, who was smiling very sweetly at Aluna. She knows if the man is spreading charm.
“Sugar daddy?” Aluna joked.
“Ahaha, you can take it that way,” Arthur said with a low laugh.
“Um ... you can just call me Aluna,” Aluna said, looking shy. Their handshake hadn’t even come off.
“Okay.”
The handshake slipped as Kalea cleared her throat.
Kalea didn’t know what else to do when they got acquainted. She took leave for a moment to get some dinner for Aluna. Leaving her best friend alone with Arthur. Even though she was worried, she continued to say a prayer so Arthur wouldn’t tease Aluna. Previously, Arthur had given a signal about what the man should do when Aluna had arrived.
“Please eat, you can take it back in the kitchen if you’re not satisfied,” Kalea said without any meaning. She decided to sit next to Arthur.
Aluna pursed her lips, slightly offended. “The food you provide on the table doesn’t mean I can finish it,” Aluna grumbled, looking adorable.
“Ah, that’s right. Your stomach is small,” Kalea said, Aluna just laughed softly.
Arthur suddenly got up from sitting with his laptop. “Then I’m going to another room, so you two can talk just the two of us,” Arthur said, looking polite and gentle.
“E-uh, no need! After all, the original intention was to meet you, sir!” Aluna said, feeling bad. Arthur glanced at Kalea for approval.
“You just here,” Kalea said as she grabbed Arthur’s arm so he could sit back down. Of course, if it had been like this, Arthur would have agreed.
“So ... you guys have been friends long enough?” Arthur asked, starting off pleasantly.
“Yes! We were friends from the beginning of high school, Lea was always very quiet and didn’t have many friends. Her face was always gloomy and scared people,” Aluna said, starting to tell her and Kalea’s beginnings. “Then I asked her to be friends with my other friends. But still, Lea couldn’t mix with them too much,” Aluna continued, smiling bitterly.
Arthur turned to Kalea, who seemed to be enjoying eating pastries. “Your character is like this, huh,” the man said, and was no longer surprised.
“I don’t really need to have many friends, just one or two is enough,” Kalea said casually. Arthur just shook his head, while Aluna chuckled.
“Then? I wanna know more about the story,” Arthur asked curiously.
“You really wanna know,” Kalea commented.
“Even so, because I feel that I’m very compatible with Lea, so I’m still friends with her until now!”
“What about your other friends? You left their?” Arthur asked.
Alana shook her head quickly. “No, I divide my time when I play with them and when I play with Lea,” Aluna replied with a big smile.
“Wow, you’re so kind,” Arthur complimented. A faint smile appeared on the man’s handsome face.
“Aluna is really kind,” added Kalea while making a love emoji with her finger. Aluna blushed, embarrassed to see it.
“Then how did you react when you found out that Lea was involved in a contract with a grown man like me?” Arthur asked again, as if there was no end.
“Wait a minute, why does it look like an interview?” Kalea protested, holding Aluna to answer.
“Because it’s interesting,” Arthur replied, with a mischievous smile.
“What if it was my turn to ask?” Aluna asked, smiling meaningfully.
“Sure, please.”
“Are you treating my best friend well?” Aluna asked, making Arthur and Kalea a little surprised.
Arthur smiled lopsidedly, he turned to Kalea. “You can ask Lea about that. If I answered, of course I’d say I treated her very well.”
Kalea is now the center of their attention. The girl swallowed hard, then nodded slowly. “A-arthur is kind, and quite caring.”
However, Aluna still looks doubtful. “Then what did you mean earlier? You said Arthur was a weird and good at seducing women?” The girl asked to make sure again.
Arthur stared, he didn’t expect Kalea to say that. “You said I was weird?!” Arthur protested.
“B-but it’s true!” Kalea defends herself.
“Okay, fine. I admit, everyone has advantages and disadvantages,” Arthur said relented and didn’t want to argue. “But don’t worry, even though my relationship with Lea is only limited to contracts and mutual need, I don’t wanna make Lea sad and unhappy with my attitude,” the man continued while stroking Kalea’s brunette hair gently.
Kalea was a little touched, she didn’t expect Arthur to say such a sweet thing. Though she shouldn’t take it too seriously. On the other hand, Aluna who saw their interaction, was happy mixed with envy. She forced a smile. “I’m pleased to hear it.”
“You can trust me. Right, Lea? You’re happy with me, right?” Arthur asked with a sweet smile, but Kalea just stared at the man blankly. “Answer!” Arthur pinched Kalea’s cheek in exasperation.
“Yeah, yeah!”
After that, Arthur excused himself to go to the bathroom. The two girls seemed to be silent for a long time, engrossed in the various snacks on the table.
“Lea, can I see your room?” Aluna asked again to open her voice.
“Hm? maybe you can ....”
“Yeay!” Aluna exclaimed so excitedly. Then Kalea brought her best friend into the room. Where she sleeps and is sometimes accompanied by Arthur. A place where she and Arthur share pleasure without love.
“Wow, this is really my type!” Aluna exclaimed, her eyes sparkling when she saw the very clear view of the city that could be seen from the room. Kalea decided to sit on the bed, even though they had only spent a short time together, but she was already getting tired.
“Hey, Lea. After I noticed that guy who’s your sugar daddy, isn’t he Arthur Jefferson?” Aluna asked, suddenly making Kalea’s eyes rounded.
“You know him?”
“Of course, he often appears on TV and in magazines. His handsome face definitely steals a lot of attention,” Aluna replied as she walked over to Kalea. “How did you get close to him?” Aluna asked, her face so close to Kalea’s that the brunette girl backed away slightly.
“Th-that, I didn’t even know Arthur was that famous. It was Zeline who introduced Arthur to me,” Kalea answered honestly.
“Huh? You don’t know him? Haah ... that’s natural. You don’t have time to watch TV or read magazines about IT. In essence, he is a very charismatic man,” Aluna continued. She lay down on the soft bed. “I’m so jealous, but happy to finally get to know the life of Arthur Jefferson.”
“I thought his life was the same as ours ...” Kalea said.
“Lea! Does that mean you’ve done ‘that’ with him?!” Aluna hysterically.
