The next morning Zakai was signing on some papers when one of his member came to him, “Boss!
There’s a call from Mr.
Tsunami’s safe house.
They asked us to report now.”
Zakai stopped signing and looked at the man.
“Go with few of our men.”
“Boss!
I think you should come with us too.”
Zakai kept the documents aside and stood up, “Fine!”
While getting into the car, he overheard his members talking about how Opel specially ordered to make Zakai go there.
He gritted his teeth recalling his last incident with Opel.
Upon reaching the safe house, they stood inside the hall waiting for any order.
Soon Scorn came out of his office room and stood opposite to Zakai.
Zakai’s eyes drifted to Scorn’s left and right.
“Opel is not here.
He’s out attending a meeting on my behalf.” Scorn answered with a smirk on his face.
Zakai didn’t realize what was that for.
He looked down at the floor without any response.
Scorn then went and sat on a couch.
He took out a pile of documents and slided it on the table beside.
“Take these!
Review them and let me know.”
“Ok boss!” Zakai nodded.
A man from his gang piled up the documents and grabbed them close to his chest.
“I want them in my office this evening.”Scorn ordered.
“Ok boss!’ Everyone answered unanimously.
Just then one of the maids came to Scorn and offered him tea.
Holding the cup of tea, he asked her, “Did you bring the ointment for Opel?”
“Yes sir!
This is the one.
These tablets are for his allergy and this ointment is for him to put it on the rashes.” The maid handed the medicine to Scorn.
“Keep it on the table.
He’ll take it when he returns back.
But what if he forgets to take them?
There will be severe rashes on his body till tomorrow.
But no one has ever entered his room.
Hugh!” Scorn sighed and stood up.
Before leaving Scorn looked at Zakai and talked unanimously, “I wish someone could enter his room and put the meds in his room so that he doesn’t forget to take them.” And then he turned and walked back to his room.
Zakai and his members stood there with bent heads.
“Boss!
There’s a room out there where we can work.
Let’s move.” One of his members spoke.
“Fine!
You’ll head first.
I’ll go shortly.”
Zakai was left alone in the hall room while all his members walked out.
Zakai kept staring at the meds for a few minutes and then sighed.
“Should I put them inside his room?
No!
Let me stay away from him.
But no one has entered his room.
Since I already visited that place, I can easily keep the meds and get out.
But…but what if he scolds me infront of everyone?
But he’s not here right now.
Let me creep and put it in his room and rush out without anyone noticing me.
Yes!
Let’s do that.” After negotiating with his thoughts for a while, Zakai finally decided.
He hesitatingly grabbed the meds, then looking left and right, when he got the clearance, he rushed upstairs.
He stood outside Opel’s room, panting and huffing.
Taking a long breath and then gushing it all out, he grabbed the door knob and pushed it.
As the door opened, Zakai thought no more and went in.
He closed the door from inside and turned back to look at the room.
His eyes bulged out and jaw dropped looking at the room.
It was back to a messy and dirty one.
“Is he a slob who doesn’t care about these messes?
How can he be so slovenly and yet pretend to be a neat freak?” Zakai asked himself.
He put the meds on the table and once again looked at the cluttered room.
His instincts allowed him to clean the room once again just like he did last time but his mind didn’t permit him so.
“I must not get involved with him any longer.
Zakai!
Just focus on what you want.
Don’t quiver from your goal.” Zakai talked to himself.
Thinking for another few seconds, he nodded his head and decided to keep the room untouched.
He rushed to the door and grabbed the door knob to open it.
But without any force applied, suddenly the door opened.
Startled Zakai panicked at the sudden thing.
As the door opened, he could see Opel standing right next to him.
“You!” Opel asked with a shocked tone.
“I…I…” Zakai’s brain wasn’t braining.
Opel grabbed Zakai’s wrist and pulled him inside his room.
Zakai was too shocked to resist and so easily got pulled in by Opel.
“Are you sneaking into my room now?” Opel asked with a smirk on his face.
“No!
I…I bought you the meds.
Mr.
Tsunami said you got allergy…no one dared to come inside…so…”
“Oh yes!
Yesterday I went to a banquet and had something that had me allergic reaction.
And this morning I had to attend a meeting so I didn’t get time.” He folded the sleeves of his shirt, exposing his rashes to Zakai.
“I kept the meds on the table.” Zakai pointed his hand towards the table.
Then he turned and moved to walk out of the room.
But Opel grabbed his hand and pulled him closer, “Why do you put on that angry look whenever I come?
Do you hate me?” Opel whispered.
Zakai gulped nervously.
He tilted his head and answered, “If I had hated you, I wouldn’t have cleaned your room last time.
You didn’t even thank me for that.”
Opel smiled softly hearing Zakai’s resentment.
“But I did help you.”
“—–“Zakai looked at Opel’s eyes blankly.
He didn’t understand what Opel just said.
“Didn’t you realize something dubious when one of your men suddenly extended help to get you close to your members?
Didn’t he tell you that I asked him to figure out those accounts and take them to you?” Opel nodded his head in distrust.
“What?
But he didn’t tell me?” Zakai seemed offended by something.
“Ohh!
I remember.
I asked him to keep it a secret.” Opel smirked after teasing him.
He kept glaring at Zakai who now seemed frustrated.
“——“Zakai simply rolled his eyes and twisted his mouth to show that he was feeling frustrated.
Then he turned away and walked out of the room.
