10 ''I'm here, with you''

The next day, Ara going to work as usual. She feels that after several days working there, she can adapt to the environment and also with her scary chief department.

Even though she was already working there for several days, she felt strange because she didn't see Ryan in the office. She thought that maybe she has too much work and didn't notice him at all.

After all, she must keep pretending about their relationship and have to make herself not talk about him.

She actually hasn't seen him for a long time because he also didn't go back home for these few days. Ara suddenly feels that maybe Ryan has run away and just make a trap for her.

As she thought in her workstation, suddenly she heard some of her colleagues secretly talking about their Chairman.

The Chairman? Ryan? What are they talking about? She wondering. She pretends to do some coffee at the pantry and try to hear about that.

She started to do her coffee and at the same time, she heard their whispering. After finished secretly hearing their conversation, she going back to her workstation.

She sitting there and suddenly feeling gloomy. She was thinking for a while about what she heard earlier. They were saying that their chairman was taking a trip with his fiancee.

After hearing about that, Ara feels a little sad and her heartfelt hurt. She doesn't know why she feels that way. She dont knows why Ryan doesn't even tell her about anything. She knows that she only his wife on the paper only but she feels that he must tell her where he going actually.

That day, after finish work, she goes back home as usual. Before going back, she went to the convenience store first and to buy some food. After done buy the food, she decided to go for a walk on the waterfront near there.

When she walks there and takes the fresh air, she suddenly remembers her first time meeting Ryan there. She smiles a little when thinking about it.

She was standing there and keep thinking about Ryan. That man was really made her mind to curious about him every day. She feels that her heart wants to know about him deeply.

All of the sudden, there were a group of men were coming closer to Ara. She was startled. She was surprised to see one of the men seem familiar to her. She tries to recalls her mind and finally, she remembers it!

Yes! That's right. This man was the same when she meets him at the Ryan hotel before. She remembers that this man has really weird behaviors and I feel that Ryan and this man dont have a good relationship.

''Wow, look who is here. Hi, girl! Are you alone?'' Lucas said

Ara just stood there with afraid. She didn't know where to go because all of them were stood around her. They were laughing and the other trying to touch her.

Ara trying to run away from there but Lucas was holding her shoulder. She didn't know what she would do and just hoping that someone will help her there. She quickly takes her phone and wants to call someone but Lucas immediately takes her phone.

''Hey girl, don't be like this. Just play with us how you playing with Ryan before.'' He said while giving a wicked smile.

Ara feel want to cry at that time when she hears him saying that and she was totally frightened.

''Dont you touch me!'' Ara said fiercely.

''Woah, relax girl. Just let us touch you gently. Dont you want it too?''

''You are crazy! I'm not that kind of girl!''

''Oh yeah? Why don't we try on you first? We gonna see it after we try it.'' All of them were laughing happily.

When one of the men trying to touch her body, suddenly Ryan comes out from behind and kicks one of them. Lucas and Ryan were staring at each other with anger.

Then, Lucas immediately brings her friends going out from there. But before that, Lucas said something to Ryan that he will come back to him again. Ryan just look fiercely at him and didn't say anything.

Later, he moves towards Ara. He saw Ara was sitting down there. She was really scared and her body was trembling after what happened before. Ryan moved closer to her and want to take her.

At once, Ara immediately hugs him tightly. She was crying out loud. Ryan a little startled and then he just let her hug him. He knows that she was scared. He slowly rubbing her head and whispering to her. ''Dont worry, I'm here with you.''

Ara shed tears there and she cants imagine what would happen to herself if he didn't come at the right time.

After a few hours, they going back home. As soon they reached there, Ara directly goes to her room. She didn't say anything and just left Ryan like that. Ryan only watching her walk away from behind.

When Ryan sees her like that, he feels guilty and she must be very scared about what happened just now. He really feels angry at Lucas and he cants wait to see him later.

''Sir, what is your next plan? Lucas seems like he interested in Miss Ara.'' Aaron said

''I will meet him later. I know he deliberately wants to use Ara to provoked me. But today happened, I know they were meet coincidentally.''

''I think Miss Ara must be in shocked and she still in fear now.''

''It's okay, I will look at her later. You may go now.''

''Okay, sir.''

After a few minutes, Ryan goes to Ara's room. He brings some food to her. He knocks slowly at her door. Ara went to open it and she let him come inside.

''Um, I bring some food for you.''

''Just put it there, I will eat it later.''

''Ara, are you feel okay? Did you get hurt?'' Ryan asks with worried.

''I'm okay.'' She replied coldly.

''I'm sorry, actually, that man before is. . . ''

''I don't want to feel to talk right now. Please leave me alone.'' She lying on her bed and cover herself in the blanket.

They were silent for a second. Ryan wants to go out from there but suddenly Ara said something.

''Where you going before? Why haven't I seen you in a long time?''

Ryan stops his walk step. He wants to explain to her but Ara was cut his words.

''I don't care where you want to go. I don't care whatever you want to do. I don't even care where we're with you. I don't care also if you want to take your trip with your fiancee, but please...just inform me earlier so that I can know.''

Ryan in the puzzle. He doesn't understand why is she saying him going on the trip? With his fiancee? Ryan comes closer to her and pulls out her blanket.

''What??''

''Why are you saying like that? Who said I'm going trip with my fiancee??''

''You think I fool? I know I'm only your wife in the paper only but you must respect me!''

''Ara, wait...I think you misunderstanding here.'' He chuckles

''Misunderstanding for what?? Is that true? And one more, why you ask me to marry you if you have a fiancee?? Why dont you take her instead of me? I'm not that type of woman you want to do whatever you want! I have my own life! I'm not a slut woman!'' Ara said with her teary eyes.

Ryan was shocked to see her like that. He just stood there and didn't know what to say.

''Ara, I'm sorry if Lucas has said something bad to you and even touched you. I'm sorry for that.''

''What? You are just like them too, right? Is this fun to all of someone like you?''

''Ara, I have my own reason and I will tell you when the right time comes.''

''Just go, I dont want to see you right now. I want to sleep!''

Ryan just going out from there and left her alone there. He just wondering why she becomes like that. He only going out for the business trip but she already shows her fierce behaviors.

He also astonished by what she saying just now. Who is his fiancee just what she said before. Did she talk about Megan? How does she know about her? He thought.

That night, Ara was sad and she was crying for the whole night. She feels upset and feels like all of them were playing with her life. She wishes that she have more money and paying to him all the debt she has to him.

On the other side, Ryan was also lying on his bed. He was thinking to say the truth to her right after this business trip but today was really a bad day for her. He didn't dare to tell to her.

However, he just let it for today and didn't say anything to her. After all, Ara was very angry with him.
