Chapter 174 - 174 ( The Hickey Mark )

"He mumbled Cleo's name over and over. So, could you possibly do something to him?"

Cleo denied Reihan's accusations.

"I didn't do anything! And why are you accusing me of something? Because I would never possibly cheat on someone unconscious! On the other hand, you should be worried about me?"

Alfin looked at Cleo.

"Worried about you? Indeed, what happened to you?"

Cleo locked her mouth tightly.

"Ask that to your cousin later! He's clearer and I'm too lazy to say it!"

Alfin sneered.

***

The doctor that Reihan called, arrived.

Announced Harry's condition and advised everyone not to worry too much.

"He seems to be still under the influence of drugs. But still lucky to have not inhaled the harmful substance for too long. Although the effect is quite sharp, it makes him hallucinate and lose control. He will recover once he has had enough sleep. Then, I will give you a sedative and an antidote."

The doctor gave a prescription.

"Tell him to drink this later when he's better."

Reihan told Dirga to keep the recipe and told someone to buy it. Reihan then escorted the doctor out and thanked him.

Cleo asked anxiously.

"Is he really okay?" Cleo asked uncertainly. Because the Doctor said that Harry might still be hallucinating and that must be dangerous.

Dirga trusted the strength of his boss more.

"Mr. Harry will be fine. And you don't have to worry," Dirga then typed a few messages. Sent a photo of the prescription the doctor had given him to ask someone to buy it.

He then raised his face.

"Are you all right, if you will also stay at this hotel?" asked Dirga, asked about her ability.

Cleo was surprised.

"Should I stay with him too?"

Dirga nodded to confirm it.

"It's a must, Miss. Because I can't let you stay at home alone. Or, just the two of you with Aunt Ane. You will definitely be much safer if you are in this hotel with Mr. Harry. Then, I will also prepare several guards to keep an eye in front of this room. They'll definitely be here soon."

Cleo gave a disappointed look.

"Are you staying here too?" Cleo asked in hopefully.

Dirga denied it.

"No, Miss. I had to go home because it was getting late. And there are still some things I need to take care of. However, you can just call me whenever you want. I promise to be on standby 24 hours for you."

Alfin laughed at Dirga's ingrained determination. Cleo then realized something.

"Is that why you booked a hotel room with two beds?"

Cleo pointed at the two large beds that were next to each other. Where one of them was already occupied by Harry. And that meant Dirga had been planning that since this situation happened, for them.

"Harry still unconscious?" Reihan asked after he had just finished taking his personal doctor home and come back.

"That's right, Mister Rei. He just fell asleep after I gave him the medicine."

Alfin looked annoyed at something when he laid his head on the back of his chair.

"Really annoying!"

Alfin was hitting the wind.

"We almost caught her. But that woman was like an eel and easily left. I suspect that she has a secret power that can make her run away as fast as lightning. She's lucky that we aren't as fast as her!"

"So you guys failed to get her?" asked Cleo who initially thought they had managed to get Aretta because two capable men would certainly have more power against an ordinary woman.

Cleo laughed at the failure of those who had once boasted to pursue Aretta. Reihan explained the reason automatically.

"She managed to escape because she went straight out the exit, and got into any car that wanted to accommodate her and fled, thinking we were bad people. Aretta also must have managed to trick the driver. We can't possibly fail if she didn't cheat to make the most of the situation. Sorry if this disappoints you!"

Alfin reflexively shouted in annoyance.

"So bad!!! What would that cold man say if he found out that we failed to catch Aretta?! Are we going to get roasted by him alive??" Alfin looks dramatic.

Some people laughed at his words. Reihan kicked Alfin's leg and hit his head.

"Do you think your cousin is from a barbarian tribe who loves to roast humans alive?" 

Alfin didn't seem to care.

The three men then excused themselves to go home. Let Cleo rest while accompanying Harry. And made the situation in the hotel room instantly become quiet after the three rioters left.

Cleo was still sitting on her couch as she watched Harry continued to wriggle uncomfortably in his sleep. Cleo then ventured closer to him and check his condition.

Cleo studied the man's face with great curiosity to make sure that she would be completely safe when she was left alone with this sick man who she didn't know had either recovered or not.

Just in case, Cleo held her cellphone tightly, with the intention that if Harry suddenly attacked her again, Cleo would hit him on the head using the closest object she had.

Cleo carefully observed Harry's facial expression which turned out to be true according to Dirga's words that the man was fine now. However, she remained vigilant.

Did notice at first that Harry's eyebrows were quite thick, but then realized that his eyelashes were thick and long too. Cleo blinked a few times to see the outline of the man who had now become her husband but only as a contract husband.

Smiled happily when she saw the man who usually irritated her was sleeping peacefully as a child bent over in his most comfortable room.

Harry woke up the next morning with a slightly dizzy head and began to scan his surroundings to check things out. Looked confused by the unfamiliar place that greeted him. Harry recognized well that he was currently in one of the hotel rooms that he did not know which hotel.

Harry who had sat up, stretched his body to release the aches.

He then realized that there someone was with him, slept on the bed next to him. Harry then stood up and walked over to the other bed. Seeing that it was Cleo who was asleep there and covered with a blanket and hugged a bolster pillow.

Cleo opened her eyes and squinted after she noticed a shadow covering her face. Cleo was greeting Harry.

"Are you awake?" rubbed her eyes and yawned once more.

Harry had suddenly lost his memory for what had happened yesterday.

"Why are we here?" asked Harry.

Cleo spontaneously got up to sit on the bed. She looked at Harry enthusiastically and made sure he heard her.

"You don't remember anything?" Cleo seen surprised and disappointed because Harry shouldn't forget the commotion that he caused. 

"I just remember that we came here and I talked about some things with Aretta. But after that, I can't remember. Did something important happen?" Harry showed his worried face.

"If you don't even remember what happened after Aretta made a fuss. Could it be that you also don't remember what happened in this room when you were with me?" 

Harry looked quite confused.

"What happened in this room when I was with you? And what kind of fuss did Aretta do?" 

Cleo looked at him seriously.

"She faked her scent with a fragrance that could hypnotize you. Until you lose consciousness and she intended to take you away. Reihan was suspicious, Aretta put an aphrodisiac in her perfume. You almost went crazy yesterday. I'm really frustrated because of you!!"

Harry massaged his forehead lightly, tried to remember.

"She dared to do that?" 

Harry seemed to only remember to until Aretta offered him a drink and he who suspected the woman had mixed something in it refused to touch it.

But otherwise that, Aretta turns bold to poison him with the scent on her body?

That's so clever!

Harry recalled hard back then. No wonder she was so messed up by moving here and there to outwit Harry. Turned out, this was the purpose?!

Harry's expression darkened. 

"Then, how did Reihan to be with you? As I recall, I only brought you along."

Cleo briefly explained how Reihan could join her. Made it to be a benefit for them because of that. Cleo had a hard time imagining what would happen if they didn't come to help.

Cleo then also told about Reihan and Alfin who failed to catch Aretta.

Harry rubbed his neck. Until Harry's attention was distracted. He stared intently at the hickey mark on Cleo's neck.

"Who did that to you?" Harry asked while narrowing his eyes. 

"Someone tries to hurt you?" 

Cleo spontaneously covered the mark with her both hands.

And then she was lucky because yesterday, at least the other three men who were with her, had not seen this strange mark. Harry sharpened his vision and grabbed Cleo's hand to ask again.

"Aretta do this to you?" exclaimed Harry who thought that it might be caused by something else.

Cleo wide-eyed.

"What did you just say? Aretta? Hah?" 

Cleo suppressed the anger that was already in the crown.

"Then, did you just ask who did this?" Cleo raised her voice.

She pointed to the mirror that was on the dressing table.

"Look for yourself in the mirror, and you will find the person!" 

Harry spontaneously thought out loud when he heard the explanation. He asked super stupidly.

"Do you mean, I did it?" He still didn't believe it.
