Chapter 133 - 133. Friend (2)
"Who asked you to rent an apartment?".Leo replied and then opened the door, while Naila was still in her position, not moving an inch.
"Then?" asked Naila.
"You go with it," Leo replied as he took out the paper bag he had previously placed in the back seat.
Naila did not respond, the girl opened the door. "Come on, honey," she said to Dave, the next second they were out of there.
"Don't tell me you brought me to your apartment?" said Naila, frowning.
"Well, don't ask too many questions. Come on!" Leo replied who suddenly approached and carried Dave suddenly.
"I'm carrying you is it okay?" he asked Dave.
"Um, we're already friends, Uncle," replied the boy while nodding in agreement.
"Hehehe, right. We're friends," Leo said then started walking towards the elevator which was not far from them, leaving Naila still gawking on the spot.
"Hey, where are you going? Do not take Dave as you wish," Naila shouted as if she had just regained her senses, the girl then jogged after the two people who were very close to the elevator.
"Hey, wait. Don't leave me alone."
"Hurry up, Auntie," Dave shouted, turning to Naila who seemed to be trying to match her position with Uncle Leo.
Naila didn't respond until she joined the elevator. Her breath was hoarse.
After a few minutes, the elevator doors opened. They then walked down the corridor, very quiet all around and no sign of life at all.
There was only the sound of their footsteps echoing each other until they stopped at a door at the end, Leo then entered the code and the next second the door opened.
Naila who saw this froze on the spot. Is this the man's residence?
"What are you waiting for? Come in," said Leo who reappeared from behind the door when he didn't feel Naila moving from her position.
"I live here, come in and get to know my wives," he added.
Naila who heard this glared sharply, "Are you crazy?"
"You can't leave anyway, Dave's already inside," Leo replied.
"If you don't want to come in, that's fine, I'll close the door," he added.
"W-wait," Naila said with one hand blocking the door that was almost completely closed.
"All right, I'll come in," he added, squeaking resignedly.
Leo just smiled, and then opened the door wide, making room for the girl to enter.
Naila walked quietly, her eyes glaring at the situation in the apartment, afraid that the man's wife would suddenly appear and give her a punch or something.
"Why do you walk like a thief?" asked Leo who then preceded Naila, Dave was no longer in his arms.
"Come on, friend," the man said as he pulled Dave's arm deeper into his apartment.
While on the other hand, Naila's eyes, which had already covered the entire room, suddenly stopped her steps, frozen in place looking for someone who might enter her vision.
According to her, this apartment is a bit cramped for a man who has many wives. That's what Naila thought.
"Why are you silent? Come in and sit down, I think you might be very tired after running around," said Leo, this time the man brought Dave to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Wh-where's your wife? You said you had multiple wives, but why can't I see her anywhere?" Asked Naila stuttering with a furrowed brow.
"Beside you," Leo replied then walked towards the kitchen.
Naila reflexively looked to the side, only she didn't find anyone. What entered her view was only her reflection in the transparent glass next to her.
"Have you seen it?" Leo asked, the man was already behind the pantry.
Naila was stunned for a moment, unable to properly understand the meaning of Leo's words, but only for a few seconds, and the wrinkles on her forehead disappeared.
"Tsk, you want to tease me?" Naila instantly relaxes her tense body muscles.
Leo who heard that laughed loudly, "What do you want to drink?" he asked when he saw the girl who was already walking towards where Dave was.
"Whatever, as long as it's not poison or an aphrodisiac," replied Naila throwing her body on the sofa, a bit far from Dave.
(*Aphrodisiac = Chemical used to stimulate sexual power. )
"Isn't that great? There's no one here, just the two of us."
"Is Dave not a person?"
Leo burst out laughing, the first time he'd ever met someone who always same his sense of humor. Maybe this was one of the reasons why he and the girl got to know each other so quickly?
"Dave, what would you like to drink, honey?" Naila asked turning to the boy who was reading a book. Where did he get it, Naila didn't know.
"I'm not thirsty, Auntie," the boy replied without raising his eyes.
"Okay, it's up to you," said Naila, turning to where Leo was.
"Okay."
"Do you live here alone?" Naila asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Erm, why? You want to accompany me?" Leo replied without stopping his steps who were carrying two glasses of orange juice to the living room where Naila and Dave were.
"How much do you want to pay me?" Naila's response.
"Does being a wife also require a fee?"
Naila who heard the man's words laughed, "Dear Mr. Leo, aren't you exaggerating to say something like that for someone you just met?"
"Excessive? That's if you take it seriously," Leo replied and immediately got a glare from the girl.
"Here have a drink and stop looking at me like it wants to pounce on me right now. But if you want to do it that's okay, I'm ready," he added with a laugh as he placed a glass of drink in front of the girl.
"Hah.' Naila then downed half a glass of orange juice which was now in her hand.
"You seem very thirsty."
"Um, thanks for the drink," said Naila, putting the glass back on the table.
"And this is for you friend," Leo approached the boy while handing him the same drink he gave Naila.
"What are you reading?" He added when he saw Dave's expression that looked very serious.
As Leo approached, he suddenly put the glass in his hand everywhere and immediately grabbed the book the boy was reading.
"F-friends, I'll take this book first okay?" Leo said pulling the book out of Dave's reach then immediately took it into the room and closed it tightly. His movements are so fast that Naila chuckles.
"You seem to like reading a magazine like that," Naila said when Leo came back, not without reason she said that because the corner of her eye had seen the cover of the book the man had just brought to his room.. It's an adult magazine.
