Chapter 20

"Just do it, I don't care if I have to fight someone. Besides, Gerry is already paired with my sister, he's so cowardly to run away from what he should do, you should think about that."

I scratched my head, which didn't feel itchy, by the way, my head felt dizzy now because of Samuel's stubbornness, which turned out to be not much different from Gerry's nature. Why do I always have to meet dominant men who are incredibly stubborn?

I angrily replied to Samuel's chat message.

"You're going to regret that. Of course Gerry won't keep quiet, you should forget about me and concentrate on your own life, because I'm happy with the person I love now".

What the hell did I just write? It's ridiculous to confess my feelings of love to the person who makes me angry every day. Even as I was writing the chat message, I felt very amused, but I couldn't stop myself from writing the message and sending it to Samuel.

It was crazy, totally crazy and disgusting.

"Okay, so that's what you mean. I understand, I'm going to take you away from Gerry by force. Don't expect the guy to survive if he still takes you away from me."

This time I was stunned, Samuel's madness didn't stop there, that calm and gentle face was filled with a violent and coercive nature, not much different from a man with a wild face like Gerry. Must I always be surrounded by people like that?

After that, there were no more chat messages from Samuel, either with a response like that, which should make me feel relieved or anxious.

Doesn't this mean that Samuel is waving the flag of war between him and Gerry?

I scowled harshly and threw my phone in every direction, worried that he would be reckless and do something bad to Gerry.

But the one who should be more worried here is me, because I don't have as much power as Gerry to fight back. So I should just stay calm and not act like anything else, even though everything was threatening.

I'm also sure that Gerry is not a stupid and weak person who can be hurt by Samuel just because of a problem like this.

*****

A few days later, I was living my life as usual in Gerry's big and luxurious house. There was nothing strange and no serious problems, right, I almost forgot about my conversation with Samuel a few days ago.

Sometimes I still think about what steps I should take in the future; if I stay in my comfort zone like this, I won't be able to achieve the goals I want to achieve to fulfill my duties in my agreement with Gerry.

"Hey, why are you daydreaming?"

Gerry didn't usually greet me when I was alone, but in his suit, which always looked charming, he approached me and sat down next to me.

"You don't usually greet me first, are you in a good mood?" I asked.

"Quite the opposite."

Gerry just smiled and turned his eyes to the same view I was staring at. We were looking at Gerry's backyard, which was so beautiful and spacious, and while Gerry was looking at the scenery, I was now alternately looking at Gerry with a curious look.

"Huh? On the contrary? Shouldn't you be in a bad mood right now?" I asked.

"Yes, but somehow I can't get angry. When I see that ridiculous face of yours, I find it funny and it calms my emotions. It doesn't make sense, does it?"

It's strange to hear such sweet words coming out of the mouth of Gerry Liyano Enriqo, usually he just grumbles and says words that are not pleasant to hear when he sits with me. But lately he has changed a bit.

Not only that time, but on several occasions, he looked even calmer and not as rough as usual when he was with me. When I ate in the near future, I often received thanks from the servants and bodyguards in that mansion. They all thanked me and said that I was their savior who made Gerry's mood much better.

I don't understand this man's way of thinking, is it possible that he is doing this because he is on a propaganda campaign to make me more eager to fulfill my role in order to smooth Gerry's plan toward his goal?

Even if he doesn't do that, I have also done my part in such a way that Gary has actually become bolder lately in expressing our relationship to the public.

Gerry also became much more aggressive in announcing that he already had a girlfriend, namely me. Actually it was quite a big breakthrough in Gerry's plan, I felt quite impressed and actually I felt it was a very good thing.

But on the other hand I also felt left out because I felt like I wasn't doing anything.

"Even though I'm not someone special to you, just think of me as your brother and you can tell me things that you think you can tell me. Yeah, I mean if you have a problem then I can be a good confidant for you, even if I don't understand sometimes, whatever your problem is, at least I can be a good listener," I said.

Gerry whistled and then threw some bait into the pond near us. He's a very masculine man and I really like that, it's torture to be next to a charming person when you can't have him.

"I'll tell you about it later, you're not in the mood for stories right now," Gerry said. "That bastard Samuel is really aggressively embroidering my company's economy."

I nodded to show that I understood and listened to Gerry's words, Gerry continued his venting session while casually walking near me.

"It seems that he wants to put me in a corner with my situation, which continues to be attacked, and also with my company, which is blocked from the stock market and also from investors. But none of that matters to me because I also have a reserve fund and several additional lines of investors and I'm sure I won't just lose," Gerry said.

I understand now that it turns out that what Samuel said was indeed proven, although I knew it indirectly because I did not directly enter Gerry's field of work. But I'm sure Samuel will not stop there, he will definitely attack Gerry from different directions to make Gerry give up.

I wondered if the new problem in Gerry's life was me. I should have flirted with Samuel and made him interested in me so he would forget about Norine and Enriqo's family problems for a while.

"Gerry, it seems I have to make my move now. I'm going to start distracting Samuel, if I can get him to love me, I'm sure I can get him to stop bothering you. Don't worry, I actually have an ace up my sleeve... ...."

"No need, and I don't want you to."

I, who had already put on a confident expression and smiled mischievously, was suddenly surprised by Gerry's unexpected statement.

"What do you mean, why are you forbidding me?" I asked incredulously. "Do you underestimate me? I'll prove I can help you, and have you forgotten our agreement about the $5 million? Don't doubt my abilities."

"No, I don't doubt you, that's why I not allow you," Gerry said.
