Chapter 24: Being Teased By A Stranger

Kalea was busy practicing again swinging the golf club, while Arthur was more engrossed in looking at Kalea’s serious face. He had been playing golf for a very long time since he was seventeen. His skill is unquestionable. After that, Arthur started the game first. They played 18 holes, usually about three to four hours Arthur played with a friend or important colleague. However, it looks like today will be quite a long time.

Arthur prepared to hit, in position to hit the golf ball after which he swung the club and hit nimbly. The ball bounced far, and Kalea herself was difficult to see. She wondered if, in such a wide field, even tens of kilometers, people are very good at playing this sport and knowing where the ball is. Wonder mixed with amazement to be more precise.

Caddy asked them to get into the car towards the ball that had been thrown. This time it was Kalea’s turn to hit. Previously, she studied first in the driving area for beginners to learn how to swing and hit. Kalea holds the club and prepares to play in a suitable position. Arthur smiled, he was a little impressed that Kalea was quick to learn new things. Twice swinging, Kalea also hit the ball. Although she still couldn’t see where the ball had flown away. Luckily Caddy found out, Kalea thought it was a very difficult job.

‘The income must have been a lot,’ Kalea thought.

They played until the last hole, which had so many obstacles to hitting the ball. The land is uneven, bumpy and there is a lake. It was intentional to make it difficult to play the sport. Until the end, Kalea still couldn’t get the ball into the hole marked with a red flag. Though Arthur only hit once and went straight in.

“Too difficult, huh?” Arthur asked in a slightly louder voice for not being able to stand near Kalea while the girl was preparing to hit. Kalea didn’t respond, she was still focused on the distance between the ball and the hole. He took a deep breath first and started hitting with moderate force.

The ball is in.

.....

Kalea suddenly jumped with joy, she turned to Arthur with a happy expression. She ran towards the man. “Look! The ball is in!” Kalea cheered very excitedly.

“You’re so smart,” said Arthur as he stroked Kalea’s brunette hair. Even though it was the first time, as a beginner, Kalea was really great.

“Mr. Jefferson?” someone called making Arthur turn his head.

“Oh, Mr. Smith, long time no see,” Arthur said as he approached the fat man with the white mustache. They seemed to be talking so well that they forgot about Kalea’s presence. Kalea didn’t want to disturb her and finally decided to approach the caddy who was cleaning up their game earlier.

“May I help?” Kalea asked politely.

“Oh, no need, Miss! This is my job,” the caddy refused equally politely.

However, Kalea persisted. “It’s okay, if it’s done by two people it will be finished faster.”

Even though the caddy kept refusing, Kalea still wanted to help. Until finally the caddy relented and let Kalea help. There were some balls still not picked up and Kalea started to help find them. The girl checked the area of ??the lake again, her eyes narrowed when she saw the round white object very close to the shore of the lake. She ran and picked up the ball.

Kalea just realized that she was very far from Arthur because she was busy looking for the ball. She didn’t even bring her cell phone. Kalea shook off her worry and started walking again. However, she ran into a tall, thin man who seemed about the same age as her.

Kalea just smiled faintly at the man and walked back. However, suddenly her arm was restrained.

“Y-yes?” Kalea asked, confused.

“Are you new here?” the man asked, still not letting go of his hand.

Kalea nodded slowly, she looked at her arm hoping he would realize that she doesn’t like being touched by strangers.

“Oh, sorry! I’m just a little surprised because I’ve never seen a pretty woman like you,” teased the man as he removed his hand from Kalea.

“Thank you,” Kalea replied simply.

“Did you come here alone? Are you a newbie?” The man kept asking, and Kalea was getting uncomfortable. Because in the vast expanse, there was no one else to see but the two of them.

“Sorry, I have to go immediately,” Kalea said not intending to answer. She started walking again but again the man stopped her.

“Let me get to know you, it seems our ages are not much different. I’ve been here for a long time, maybe I can help you if you have trouble,” said the man with a big smile. Kalea was silent, looking at him reluctantly.

“What’s your name? I’m Reynhard, nice to meet a pretty ... and sexy woman like you,” Reyhand said, with his gaze focused on Kalea’s body.

Kalea could feel the gaze, subconsciously she gripped the golf ball tighter. She knew that the man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary man. It must be someone important, and she couldn’t act rudely by hitting Reynhard in the face with a golf ball in her hand, even though she very much wanted to.

“Hey, what a snob ... answer my question. Or are you one of the mistresses of the people here?” Reynhard asked, increasingly impolitely.

“I’m sorry, but that’s none of your business,” Kalea said. Finally, she opens her voice. She looked flatly at the man.

A small smirk tugged at Reynhard’s lips. His little heart was hurt by Kalea’s attitude which he thought was pretentious and playing hard to get. “It’s true, isn’t it. You shouldn’t be so arrogant. Who owns you? I’ll pay you double the amount,” Reynhard said, getting closer to Kalea. The girl walked backward, her gaze becoming sharp. The word ‘your owner’ Kalea irritated as if she was a pet.

“I have nothing to do with you, so please let me go,” Kalea replied in a firm voice even though she was already scared.

“You still didn’t answer my question. Are you deaf and dumb?”

Damn, his words made Kalea even more hurt and irritated.

Kalea bit her lower lip, she still looked at the man’s eyes sarcastically. Reynhard again grabbed her arm but was immediately pushed away roughly by Kalea.

“You! How arrogant! You know, I can find out about you and you will never live in peace if you dare to fight back,” Reynhard hissed while pointing at Kalea impolitely. “From the start, I was very good at wanting to get to know you, this is your own fault because you’re so arrogant,” he continued with increasingly overflowing emotions.

Kalea was confused, what actually happened to her in this state? Why was this man named Reynhard so upset just because he was ignored?

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that what you said was too condescending to me,” Kalea replied.

“You’re the impolite one for not answering my questions! You think I’m talking to a statue, huh?”

Crazy, this man is crazy. He’s very temperamental and very sensitive.

“What’s going on?”

Kalea’s eyes were rounded, and she immediately turned to the source of the voice. A deep, sexy voice she knew all too well.
