Mu Chen said, "She is a demoness. She can read people"s mind." He cursed her in his breath.
Alif snickered. "If she was a man, wouldn"t you admire her as if she was a magician? You are making me interested you know. Now I would like to see my future sister-in-law too."
"Don"t even start. I hate her." Mu Chen said with red eyes.
Alif didn"t give any attention to Mu Chen. "It"s a good thing that I don"t have weird personality like you. I still have gooseb.u.mps thinking about when you confessed your love to me."
"Did you fall for me yet?" Mu Chen gave him a look that made Alif s.h.i.+ver.
"I have a beautiful girlfriend and I"m very very happy with her." Alif said.
Mu Chen"s expression darkened. "I knew it. My happiness will always s.n.a.t.c.h away by those greedy women."
"Don"t say as if you are cursing them. You are the one who is in the wrong spot." Alif couldn"t imagine his life with Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was dozing off. "I won"t let her go. She is a dead meat for sure. I will make her suffer."
Alif frowned and complained, "How can you destroy your brother"s happiness? Are you even a human? You don"t deserve to be called a sibling. I heard that she is already in bed for three days. You didn"t even go to see her. You even invited me to come without giving them any notice. You are acting like a jerk."
Alif wasn"t sure if Mu Chen heard him or not, since Mu Chen quiet down and started snoring.
Alif sighed and went back to the guest room. There was another man wearing white t-s.h.i.+rt and white pants laying on the bed. He was working on his iPad.
"What are you doing, Akram?" Alif asked.
"Can"t you see? Working." Akram replied.
Alif sat on his own bed and said, "I can"t believe that they would put us in the same room. Do you want me to think that in this castle they don"t have any single bed guest room?"
Akram didn"t look at Alif and said, "Since the head of the household is sick, her soon-to-be husband took the decision. He must be angry at his younger brother for not giving the Head Butler formal notice beforehand. He wanted to teach his brother a lesson."
Alif came to realize something. "So that"s why Mu Chen is so p.i.s.sed. Though his brother did it, but his anger fell on his future sister-in-law. How pitiful! This guy will never listen. His hatred towards women is increasing day by day." He looked at his cousin and said, "But still, Mr. Mu Liang could bes little bit sensible as we are not any random guests."
Akram wasn"t bothered about it. "No random guest can come to the castle you know. Go to sleep and let me work."
"Sometimes, you need a break. What will give you by working so much?" Alif asked while frowning.
Akram replied, "Lots of money. Where do you think all the money came from? All the oil business I have, do you think people merely call me Oil King?"
"Yes, yes, your majesty. If only oil was your only business…." Alif mocked.
"Sleep. Wine is making you spout nonsense." Akram scolded his cousin.
Alif laid down on the bed and said, "Yes, cousin."
Akram instructed him, "Be sure to start your mission from tomorrow. Even though you came here for vacation, you have to finish the job I gave you two months ago."
Alif sat up straight. His drowsiness was goner. "What! How can you be so cruel? There are very few people who are lucky enough to stay here for couple of days. I"m looking forward to visit every corner of this place and you give me workload. Unbelievable! I won"t work while I"m in here."
Akram lightly said, "Sure, as long as you don"t finish the task I gave you, you can"t enter Saudi Arabia. It sounds great, doesn"t it?"
Alif wanted to curse this man right in front of him. But he controlled himself. He laid down again. "Fine. I will do it."
Alif went back to sleep. Akram was looking at the screen. It was the live program of Mu Lan introducing her inventions. "Red, an interesting name." He thought.
Akram cared about two things. New idea and money. This era highly appreciated new ideas. New ideas would always bring more money. And money ruled the world. Every person who had the taste of power would want to rule the ones who were weaker than them.
Akram was very interested in the woman called Red who had various ideas in science. He was planning on to poach her. He already created a budget. He would give her one million dinars for seven days of work. He thought that there wouldn"t be anyone who could miss such opportunity.
"But the question is, where did she disappear?" Akram sent his men to look for her after the live program became a top news in business and science world. However, she was just gone.
Mu Lan used voice changer, contact lenses and makeups. Her acting skill was super. That was the very reason why the people who were looking for her couldn"t find her anywhere.
Some of he businessmen tried to match her with Mu Liang"s fiancée, but however, there were some dissimilarities between both Mu Lan and Red. Without the close people others couldn"t find out who she was.
Akram turned off the iPad and got out of the bed. He went to the attached balcony and looked at the clean sky. Numerous starts were twinkling in the sky. The moon was half of the size.
Akram murmured, "It would be soon full moon." His voice mixed with the wind of the spring.
At the same time, Mark Anthony was looking at the sky. He saw the moon too. "Full moon, huh. I"m waiting." His eyes were as deep as the black hole.
