Chapter 32 - Cant stop thinking about...the bird (1/2)

”What are you saying?!”

The furious voice of the tall figure asked his men to repeat what they just said.

”Er, she's escaped, boss.”

James answered sheepishly. They both were making sure to keep away from the big boss as much as possible while reporting the incident.

Stefan stood still when hearing the news. His handsome face was grim. There was anger splashed from his dark eyes. For Ben and James, The boss looked like the master of hell who had a ruddy scowling face and fire in his angry eyes, ready to burn everything that came on his path.

”How did you let this happen?! I did warn you, didn't I, huh?!!! How come the big bodyguards like you, two idiots, let a small woman slip away. Damn it!”

Stefan was so angry with what he had just heard. He should have trusted his own instincts, he should have known that he couldn't trust her! She was very daring to escape him in front of his men like this!

”She ...Er, She's very smart.” James said. Ben sent a signal to his friend, telling him to shut up, but James felt the need to speak and that made their boss get angrier.

”You don't have to tell me!” Stefan snarled fiercely. He felt so mad and it made his head hurt. Stefan walked to the bar and poured the whiskey in a glass, washed the liquid down his throat, put the glass down on the counter harshly.

”I still can't believe it. How did it happen?! What had she done to you two to make you so careless and to forget my order and my warning?! Did she allure you with her pretty face or charm you with her beautiful smile, huh?!!”

Stefan asked his men sarcastically. James and Ben glanced at each other, who's gonna dare to say it was the image of the Pat Thai with big king prawns on the dining table that did the trick on them. If the boss knew, it's a death sentence!

”Er, she wanted to cook for... you. So we stopped at the supermarket.”

James continued, sending Ben a daggered look that his friend didn't help to answer at all.

”Where did she go?” Stefan grumbled under his breath shoved his hand in his hair. His anger level went up sky high, the highest level that must be released by punching and kicking something otherwise, he wouldn't be able to think or do anything else.

He wondered if she would go to Bernardo to make a deal as she had agreed to have dinner with the bastard before. She must like him. And Bernardo definitely was interested in her, no doubt about that!

”We are going to Grand Costa, get everything and everyone ready in five minutes. Send some men to the airport and the bus station.”

The orders came. Jame and Ben bowed and then hurried to call the team. Stefan's bodyguards were always alert and ready for an urgent situation which happened often than they wished for.

*******

At Casino Grand Costa. The luxurious casino and hotel belonged to the Costa family.

Stefan was at the lobby pressing his phone button to call Bernardo. Yep! They did have each other's phone number, very strange but these two godfathers were quite well-organized about their meeting each time. Most of it, just to fight. To release their negative force of anger and depress. They seemed to think the same in this case that kicking each other's ass was better than kicking a sandbag.

”I dare you to come down to talk to me now! You, son of a bitch!”

Stefan snapped the voice on the phone. The staff at the ”lobby A” had watched Stefan and his men paraded in with a frightened expression. They were well-trained to cope with this kind of situation. So the staff hurriedly invited the customer to the next room which was the ”lobby B” then close all doors connected to the lobby A.

This was not the first time so they had learned from the previous experience! Their boss seemed to know himself so well. He made the layout of the downstairs reception area to welcome both friendly customers and angry enemies as known ”Lobby A for enemies” and ”Lobby B for friends”.

Bernardo's minions quickly came to control the situation at the lobby A. So at this moment, the big tall men in the suit were gathering and glaring at each other. Two opposite sides were ready to fight, only waiting for the orders from their bosses.

”Who is that? Aw, is that the loser from Grand MC?”

Bernardo pretended not to recognize Stefan's voice.

”Wow! Amazing that you know I kinda feel like kicking somebody's ass today. Oh, and just to let you know it's only my father who can order me like that. Not any loser!”

Bernardo continued with a smooth voice.

”I'm not here for a shitty talk, you come down, or I will go up!”

Stefan made it short with a dark voice, trying to control his mood. After last night that they had encountered Stefan needed to make sure Bernardo understood the boundary.

”Alright. since you are here, it saves my time a lot. See you at the old abandoned factory You prepare your ass to get kicked, loser.”

Bernardo replied fearlessly, didn't bother to ask to waste his time on the matters. It must be a big deal because he had noticed from the voice that Stefan was very angry.

Bernardo didn't know what had tickled Stefan this time, he hadn't ordered anybody to harass him at the moment, was busy with his own work schedule.

”And don't forget to bring my woman!”

Stefan filled the silence. Bernardo immediately frowned. Woman? What woman?!

”Who?”

”Wirata. She is with you, isn't she?”

Stefan used a tactic called throwing a stone to ask a path, meaning, he wanted to try Bernardo if he knew anything about it.

Bernardo was silent to think for a minute then the handsome face of the Grand Costa godfather lit up a smirk. He still had a clear picture of last night. Wirata, the pretty Asian woman. Stefan had played a dirty trick by stolen her from him, right under his nose.

Now she had run away. ... Haha. So that's the reason the loser had become a mad dog right now. Good! So now the loser had learned what it felt like when the little bird in his cage had flown away without his permission!

Bernardo did not know where Stefan's little bird had gone. But of course, he would not tell the loser that, let Stefan think he had her. That would definitely make the bastard go crazy and it would be fun for him to see the mad dog Stefan go banana!

”Ah, I see. Well, Wirata doesn't want to be with you. As you see last night. She was willing to have dinner with me, not you.”

Bernardo's words were like the oil pouring on the fire. Stefan had gritted his teeth.

”Don't go anywhere! I am going up to you now!”

Stefan scowled with furious. The tall figure moved and his men moved. Bernardo's men also moved, ready to fight, too.
