Cold Gaze

 'Oh my God! Since when has he been there?!' said Daniella in her heart. The girl was really surprised to see Andrew who's standing not far from his horse. This thing forces Daniella to greet her boss who is also the target of her murder, neither she wants to do it nor not.

"Uh ... hello ... Young Master ... I guess." Daniella greeted Andrew haltingly, for some reason she feels very awkward to be as polite as possible to this man, even though it is not something that should be difficult to do.

"Sorry I ... I gave grass to your horse, it's not a poisonous plant, so ... your horse is still in good health, hehe," continued Daniella, who's still nervous, especially because Andrew remained frozen without saying every single word from his lip, the cold gaze of Andrew's bright brown eyes is also still felt by Daniella, adding to her nervousness to the highest level.

'Why is this man looking at me like that?!' thought Daniella, who took her eyes off Andrew, the girl couldn't bear to stare at Andrew any longer.

The situation became silent because Daniella is silent like Andrew now, but the girl dared to look back at the man and found him still staring at her.

'Shit, is he mute?' Daniella began to wonder to herself.

'But his attitude is too cold, no matter he's mute or not, he doesn't even smile at me at all.'

'With Andrew who's like this, can I finish the mission from Tim well?'

Under the scorching sunshine, Daniella then remembered the time when Tim gave her another mission outside the mission to kill Andrew but had to be done simultaneously during the mission to kill Andrew.

"Rebekah, try to be in a hidden marriage relationship with Andrew," Tim told Rebekah.

"What ...?" said Rebekah softly.

"Yes, classic way, so that after his death you will get an abundance of wealth too," explained Tim.

"I know that this makes me seem greedy, but we'd better get a result more, than it'll be too on target, just to prepare if Patricia and Roger still need a little longer time to get back to us, and in my opinion, with Andrew's wife status you also will not be too suspicious even though it all depends on how you will behave, but if we look back, you really succeeded in tricking Leonardo and James without arousing any suspicion, so I'm sure your hidden marriage relationship with Andrew will be very helpful, not only about the money but also about your fate after killing Andrew later," continued Tim.

"But ... seriously, you think he wants to marry someone who works for him?" asked Rebekah to her brother.

"That's not a problem, remember, you managed to marry and scam two men in succession without fail even though the Green family hunts you right now, but I'm sure you can do it to Andrew too," said Tim.

"Sigh, being a bad girl is hard you know, I hate it, but ... alright, I'll do it."

Tim then smiled because of what was said by his younger sister, but Alan seems still confused by the mission given by Tim to Rebekah.

"I still don't understand, why does it have to be a hidden marriage? Rebekah can marry Andrew normally, can't she?" Alan asked Tim.

"Yes, but hidden marriage is better. What I mean by hidden marriage here is that Andrew and Rebekah's relationship should not be known to everyone, even it's should be only the Lawrence family who knows about it with a few more people," said Tim.

"Why?"

"In order for Rebekah not to become the target of many people's conversation after Andrew's death, it will be very beneficial if only a few people know Rebekah, if Rebekah became famous like the Lawrence family, Leonardo and James will certainly not be silent, especially James and his family. In essence, the function of the hidden marriage is to prevent the worst things that will likely happen. At first, I even wanted only Andrew and Rebekah who know about their relationship, but Rebekah will have a hard time getting to Andrew's wealth after his death if the Lawrence family don't know about their relationship, so in the end, Rebekah and Andrew's hidden marriage will not be completely secretive and hidden, but it will be enough to not to make Rebekah the subject of people's conversations later," said Tim.

"Isn't that impossible? I mean ... how? Especially after Andrew's death, there is a big possibility that Rebekah's name will be lifted if her status is his wife," said Alan.

"It's not difficult but also not easy. I've investigated everything, Andrew is currently close to a woman named Marjorie Williams, I still don't know who actually that woman is, but many people in Nadem speculate that Andrew deliberately killed Dorothea so he could be close to Marjorie, in other words, Marjorie is most likely the woman Andrew loves. Rebekah only needs to ruin their relationship in a short but precise way: get pregnant by Andrew," said Tim.

"In short, Rebekah's pregnancy will be a very embarrassing thing for the Lawrence family, they will not dare to spit out Rebekah's identity, Rebekah will be the secret of the Lawrence family," continued Tim.

"And you sure they're going to marry Andrew to Rebekah?" asked Alan.

"You think Rebekah's pregnancy will only be a secret to Rebekah, Andrew, and Andrew's parents? No, Rebekah will make her fellow Farmers friends know about it in a subtle way, Marjorie and some of her closest people will also find out about it, if we count the number, there will actually be quite a number of people who will know about it, so the Lawrence family will have no choice but to make a 'hidden marriage' between Rebekah and Andrew. While Rebekah and Andrew are tied together in a marriage bond, I think there is a good chance that Andrew will stay together in an actual relationship with Marjorie, so outside of the people that I have mentioned earlier will not know who Rebekah is, Rebekah will be a secret, and Rebekah's job is to make sure that none of those who will know the secret suspected her of being Andrew's killer later," said Tim.

"And ... Rebekah, one of the most important things to do is to be friendly, polite and as kind as possible to everyone, remember that," continued Tim.

'I've been very friendly, very polite, and very kind to this man, but why is he frozen like that?!' said Daniella in her mind.

'Damn Andrew, you're scaring me so much right now.'

A moment later Andrew finally stopped staring at Daniella and turned to his horse, but his position remained the same, the man remained frozen in his position.

'Ah! He stopped staring at me!' Daniella spoke in her heart again, the girl looked very enthusiastic when Andrew finally stopped staring at her.

"Young Master-" Daniella, who had intended to build another topic of conversation with Andrew, fell silent as soon as the City Prince looked back at her with his cold gaze and expression.

Daniella's heart is beating very fast because of that, at this point, Daniella's opinion about Andrew now is he's creepy, not cold anymore.

'Damn it! Damn! Damn! He really shocked me! His gaze is no longer cold, but scary. How can I possibly carry out my mission properly if my target is like this?! Being in a hidden marriage with him? Pregnant with his child? Seduce him? Grrrh, he sure looks like a very cruel murderer, so I'd better kill him as soon as possible, I might feel very satisfied after killing this damn man!' thought Daniella.
