Chapter 125 - 125. Be Caught
While on the other hand, the man who was next to them was silent. Although the conversation of the two figures sitting with him sounded a little strange, he just ignored it.
After resting for a few minutes, Naila then slowly rose from her position. "Come on baby," she said to Dave.
"Where\'s Auntie?"
"To a better place than here," she answered, yes she had been thinking about where to go next. Maybe she will look for lodging or boarding houses for a while waiting for Anna\'s arrival because she wasn\'t sure that she could leave the mansion today.
She also couldn\'t hang around on the side of the highway all the time, because Mr. Brian\'s people could have gone down the same road as her.
"Come on, sir," Naila said to the merchant and then walked away from there.

Leo\'s office.
Walking out of the meeting room, Leo returned to his room after giving some instructions to his secretary.
Sitting back in his oversized chair, he felt very bored.
All the things he had to do today were finished, and now he was confused and didn\'t know what else to do. Glancing at the laptop screen in front of him again and again, and again and again, he heard a harsh breath escape his lips.
At this time, it was time for lunch, even so, the man didn\'t move from his position in the slightest, for some reason everything seemed very boring today. He even came to Devan this morning just because he was bored and at the same time wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
"Should I take him to lunch?"
"Oh, no, no."
"He must have rejected me."
It\'s not that he doesn\'t have friends, it\'s just that all of his friends are now abroad and leaving him alone in Indonesia. The only one who usually accompanied him was his cousin, Devan, even then after he forced him or persuaded him hundreds of times.
Fiddled with his cell phone, looking for the name of a contact he might be able to walk with, but to no avail. Leo put the phone back on the table.
Only a few seconds, he then again grabbed the flat-shaped object and contacted someone.
"Hello, sir." A female voice was heard from the other side.
"Clarissa, where is Devan?" Leo asked matter-of-factly, he took the woman\'s number a few days ago to just want to know what Devan is doing, and if it was safe to visit or not?
"Mr. Devan is in his room, sir," Clarissa replied casually.
"He\'s not out for lunch?" Leo asked again. If other people heard his question, they might think that Leo and Devan have a special relationship and not just a cousin relationship. But for those who have known the two for a long time, it is a common thing.
The two men have a very close relationship, Leo who cares for Devan with all his nagging attitude. While Devan, although the man looks cold and indifferent to Leo, but believe me, he also cares a lot for his cousin.
Maybe the definition of cousin and best friend is the right sentence for both of them.
Hearing Leo\'s question, Clarissa immediately replied, "I don\'t think so, sir, since the meeting ended, Mr. Devan has never left his room."
"Is that true?"
"Yes sir."
"Okay, thanks Clarissa," Leo said and ended the call unilaterally without waiting for a response from the woman.
He immediately took off the black tuxedo that wrapped his burly body leaving only a white shirt. After that, he then left the room.
"Tania, clear my desk," Leo ordered the woman who was outside the room without stopping her footsteps. The woman is his secretary, she was still very young, maybe only a few years apart from him?

Naila who had walked away from the merchant earlier now stopped her steps for a moment, using the map on her cellphone, she intended to find the nearest inn or boarding house from where she was.
Only a few seconds later, and he had found what he was looking for. A boarding house which is a few hundred meters from its current position. Using the digital map, Naila stepped back while holding Dave\'s wrist.
"Be patient, dear, it will be here soon," said Naila, who occasionally glanced at Dave.
The boy nodded in agreement without making a sound, seeing that Naila smiled without realizing it.
Along the sidewalk, there weren\'t many people, only a few and maybe one could count on the fingers.
Naila, who was focusing on her cellphone, was suddenly startled by a black car that suddenly pulled over and stopped right next to her, there were two cars.
\'Oh no,\' she thought.
Naila immediately grabbed Dave\'s arm and ran as fast as she could.
"Miss..." called a man who just got out of the car.
"You guys, go after Miss Naila," he ordered the man in the back car, then he got back into the car, intending to chase the girl and . . . succeeded.
Her reflexes immediately turned around when she saw the same car again stop in front of her, not only that, several men immediately got out of there and headed towards her.
Dave who saw the men immediately let go of Naila\'s hands and stood in front of the girl while stretching his arms, "Don\'t disturb my aunt, Uncle," Dave said in a childlike voice.
"Finally we found your whereabouts, Miss."
"No, stay away, I don\'t want to go home," Naila said in a high voice.
"Your Father asked us to take you home, Miss," said one of the men.
"No, it\'s useless for you to look for me. I don\'t want to go home, tell the old fart that since that day I no longer have any relationship with him," replied Naila, sounding very emotional.
"Uncle, go home. Stay away from my aunt. Did you not hear what she said?" Dave shouted along, his hands still outstretched, his behavior was so adorable, but it wasn\'t the time to admire the boy\'s actions.
"We\'re just doing our job, Miss," said the man, then gave a code to his friends to take Naila to the car.
"Forgive us in advance, Miss," he added again and at the same time three men immediately approached Naila, it\'s just that it wasn\'t as easy as turning a hand.
Naila who saw their movement immediately grabbed Dave\'s body and pushed him far to the side, making the boy fall on the pavement, and the next second the girl turned her body three hundred and sixty degrees with one leg raised.
And it worked, the three men got a kick right in each other\'s stomach, sending them back a few steps.
