Chapter 8

Two men stepped on their feet so quickly. It seemed that this morning there would be some disputes happening at Mr. Davian Ricardo's residence. Because the arrival of these two men was not a normal visit.

"Davian Ricardo!" Alvin called out in a loud voice. His hand pushed the door to Dave's room open.

Inside the room, Dave appeared to be on the bed in a sitting position with his legs partially covered by the blanket. He wasn't surprised to see his two friends come in suddenly like criminals about to make a scene. It's just that he was a little surprised. What interest did those people have in coming over so early?

"Aaah, damn it! Next time I'll change the lock on the door to this room using a magic key," said Dave.

"You're crazy!" said Theo, one of Dave's friends who was also a wolf.

Theo and Alvin had come to the house early in the morning just to make sure, and also to protest about Dave's decision. Yes... the decision about Dave's actions to bring a girl in a mansion full of dangers.

"How could you bring a girl to live with us? No! I mean, live with you. You must know very well what dangers can happen to us, and to the girl," Alvin said.

"Or maybe... you have a special relationship with that girl, huh? Let's answer quickly!" guessed Theo.

Dave removed the blanket that had been partially covering his legs. He got off the bed and drank a glass of water that was placed on the bedside table.

"Arrkhh you guys are so noisy. Since when do you care so much about my private life?" Dave said casually.

"Besides, I'm not that stupid. I brought Aleta here with a lot of consideration," Dave added.

"Aleta?" Theo frowned.

"Yes, Aleta. The girl's name is Aleta. I had to protect her because right now her life is in danger. And it's all because she saved my life," Dave explained.

"But why here, why did you have to bring her here. I thought when you said you were going to return the favor to that girl, maybe you were just going to help out?" Alvin asked.

"No way, I can't take the risk. The safest place to be right now is by my side. Besides, I'm curious about something that girl has. Can't you feel it?" Dave asked back.

"Feel what do you mean?" Alvin and Theo asked back. For some reason, the three men's conversations were filled with all kinds of questions.

"Really? When you walked into this house, couldn't you smell something? I mean a smell, a sweet smell, very sweet," Dave said while closing his eyes. While explaining what Dave felt, he also began to inhale the sweet scent around him.

Alvin and Theo glanced at each other and then looked at Dave in surprise. They didn't understand what Dave was talking about. Alvin and Theo did not feel the sweet scent that Dave was currently feeling.

"But... I don't smell or taste anything. It seems like our king has gone crazy?" Theo said to Alvin in a half-whisper.

"I don't know, I'm not sure either. But... there seems to be something I've forgotten," Alvin replied. The man looked a little unconvinced.

Dave opened his pair of eyes and looked at Alvin and Theo.

"So... you guys didn't feel it?" Dave asked.

Alvin and Theo shook their heads together.

"Alright alright. You guys haven't met her in person, maybe that's why you can't feel what I feel. I'll call her here," said Dave.

"No need. More than that, my hunch is that you should send that girl Aleta home, or move her somewhere else," Alvin suggested.

"What! But... why?" Dave let out a surprised squeal. It was obvious that he didn't agree with Alvin's suggestion.

"Because it looks like..." Alvin was just about to speak up and explain something, but suddenly the sound of someone arriving made him stop.

"Good morning, Mr. Davian," Aleta said.

The girl was standing in front of Dave's room as she said good morning.

Alvin and Theo did not close the door to Dave's room after they barged in earlier. They could now see directly the figure of a woman named Aleta.

"Well, there she is. Gentlemen, let me introduce Aleta. From now on, Aleta will be in charge of taking care of all my needs," Dave said.

Aleta bowed slightly, trying to salute Theo and Alvin like a servant girl.

"Are you kidding?" guessed Theo.

"Who are you kidding? I'm serious!" Dave said to Theo, then turned to Aleta.

"Aleta, meet you. This is Theo and Alvin. They're my best friends, and you'll probably see them a lot," Dave said to Aleta.

Aleta smiled at Theo and Alvin.

Theo returned the same friendly smile to Aleta. But not Alvin. Alvin did not give any response. He just looked at Aleta coldly.

"Okay, now leave me and Aleta alone, because she has to take care of all my needs. We'll talk later." Dave gently shooed Alvin and Theo away.

The men left Dave's room. Alvin turned around and stared at Aleta for a while until they finally left.

Aleta closed the door to Dave's room, then took a deep breath and finally approached Dave.

Meanwhile, Dave also felt a little relieved that there was only Aleta in the room. Actually, Dave really didn't know that Aleta would actually come to his room this early, let alone wearing a maid-style uniform with black and white colors and tied hair.

And Aleta herself could hardly believe it either. What made her suddenly have the courage to decide to play the role of a personal assistant to someone as dangerous as Dave.

"I'm glad you don't talk or protest so much anymore. But... I still can't believe you would come this early to my room. And would wear clothes that..." Dave looked at Aleta from head to toe. Damn, Aleta looked good in that maid outfit. Not that Aleta was cut out to be a waitress. It's just that Dave's wild fantasies suddenly took off.

"Damn, since when did I have such dirty thoughts especially with this girl. This is just not me," Dave thought.

"Now my life and my sister's life depend on you. I just want to do a good job and leave as soon as possible," Aleta retorted.

"Yeah, that's up to you. The important thing is that you are here now and will take care of all my needs, right?" asked Dave.

Aleta nodded her head quickly.

"Alright, no need for much ado. Let's go," Dave invited Aleta.

Dave walked to a door and Aleta followed. However, Aleta still didn't know where Dave was taking her.

"One moment, Mr. Dave. Where are we going now?" Aleta asked.

"To the bathroom," Dave replied casually.

"What?" squealed Aleta in surprise.

Dave turned around and saw the shocked expression on Aleta's face.

"Why, what made you startle like that?" asked Dave again.

"That... why would I follow you into the bathroom?" asked Aleta.

"Apparently, you still don't understand, do you? Being my personal assistant means taking care of all my needs. And one of my needs is to clean myself. So you have to help me clean up," Dave explained.

"What? So... I have to bathe you. Are you crazy? You're alive, so you can bathe yourself. Only dead people can't bathe alone. I don't want to!" Aleta flatly refused.
