Chapter 30

FREYA
We're at the shore while I was applying sunscreen on his arms. The sun is still shining in this hour and I feel that might irritate his skin. Raven was looking at me intensely— that made me feel awkward. I tried to touch his face. He didn't flinch and let me do it. 
"Your face looks expensive so we must put some sunscreen on your skin. Will not be irritated by the sunlight," I thought. 
Until I got finished and Raven was only looking at me, "thank you."
"You're welcome. By the way, may I ask something from you?" I wondered. 
"What is it?"
"I-I'm just curious about your grandfather. How was he before?" 
He averted his eyes and looked at the sky, "My grandpa? He was the sweetest and lovable person I've met. He was my ideal," he said. Seeing his eyes I could sense the admiration that he has for his grandfather. Not only that but he was smiling while he remembered something. 
"Oh? Your grandpa is really something to you," I thought. 
"Yes. He was. The day that he left me. My life started to crumble— that's how my father started to control my life and enable me to save my grandpa's company," he told me. That made me shocked. 
"S-s-so? It was your grandpa all along!?" I was shocked and he chuckled. 
"Yeah. I need to have it back since the Director. Forcing things that we're having a hard time dealing with other organizations to handle," he said. 
"That was intriguing to me. B-but what do you mean organization?" I asked curiously and didn't have any idea about this. I know that Raven's has an alter job in the company. 
First when he has a meeting with the other client he used to hide himself from a scarecrow mask— I wonder why? But I know he used to slay people away. Which scares me. But Raven shook his head, "You don't need to know what's in my world Freya. It might freak you out," he warned me. 
I gulped and didn't respond to him. Maybe his right I should not meddle about it. "But. As your secretary I must need to know it," my mouth spilled and grinned at him. 
"What a persistent," Raven said and he chuckled. "I'll tell you when you're ready—".
I cut him off, "But I'm always ready," I said. 
"Really? Are you?" And now he was teasing me. 
"Yeah. Duh," I rolled my eyes. 
He was laughing but before he could say something. We heard someone screaming, "You two lovebirds!" Padzul called us but my eyes widened at what he said. 
Lovebirds? Eh?
"You nust!" I shouted at him back. He was laughing all along. He was running in our direction while holding something— junk food! 
He came to us and handed the food to me, "Let's eat here," Padzul suggested. I nodded and decided to sit on the sand. 
"You two. Sit here with me," I ordered them
 They leave no choice but to sit beside me also. While we're vibing the sound of waves crashing at the sand. It reminds me of something that melts my soul and that is I'm in ease. 
"Freya?" I heard Padzul's calling me. I looked at him and he was chewing some food. 
"Are you willing to stay here for days?" Padzul asked. 
I wondered and frowned, "Huh? Yeah. Why?" I answered.
"It's settled. 3 nights will stay here,"he grinned. I didn't bother at first but whe he said three nights. My eyes widened and looked at him. 
"3 nights!? I thought it was only a day and we will go home later," I thought. Padzul shrugged, "B-But I don't have clothes to wear," I reasoned. 
"Well. There's a store nearby— some resort here. We will go there and I'll buy you a shirt," Raven suggested and made me winched. 
"Are you two for real!?" I didn't expect that from them. They only nod. Raven got up and made me look at him. 
"Where are you going?" I asked. 
"I'll buy you something," he said. 
"Wait. I'll get my keys to my room," he said and walked back to his house. Only me and Padzul left at the shore. 
"Padzul? May I ask about what Raven means — this group organization that the company has? I got curious," I wondered.
He was quiet and thinking about it. He was still chewing the food and looking at something. But he shrugged, "now you ask that. Are you ready to know about his world? The real world they're living in. To warn you it was a hell— a hell that would risk you from pain until you die," he doggerel that made me confused. 
"Huh? I don't get it. I know that . . . He kills people but it has his purpose right?" I asked him. 
"He has. And it was ordered by the Director. I don't want to talk about this," Padzul confessed. I was shocked that Padzul doesn't want to talk about Raven's life within this company. 
"Is something really dangerous? Like the Mafia Bosses?" I tried to suggest it and he nodded. 
"Yes. They're existing as you know. Many illegal things are working for it. But Raven has the most dangerous task. He was dealing with those organizations. That is the reason why the Director hid his identity because he was the one who slaughtered those people. Those who are defying the will of the Director’s contract. Living with them is risky. That's why you need to be careful Freya," he stated. 
"And that scares me, a good time," I tried to laugh and make the atmosphere light. I took a deep breath and tried to reciprocate myself to be okay. 
"But don't worry. Raven and I are here. Don't think about it. But, one thing I could say. Don't leave Raven. I don't know what to do if something happens to you," he said and get up. 
I frowned, "huh? I'm his secretary. Why should I leave him?".
"Nothing. But—" he wanted to say something when I saw Raven arrive. I waved my hand and smiled at him. 
"Your life's in danger already, Freya," Padzul mouthed.
I didn't understand but frowned at him. Still, I ignored it when I walked towards Raven. So that we could go to that store to buy the clothes that he'd mention.
