Not Runaway
CHAPTER 44

“Richie wait.”  Hannah called Richie. He doesn't even know Hannah stopped at a store selling luxury handbags. Thought glaring. Richie turns around and catches up with Hannah there. Accompanying his girlfriend shopping is one of the things he does not like. He prefers working with a girlfriend. Like the….Airin. Stop Richie!!  Richie took a deep breath.

“Good ga?” ask Hannah. Richie nodded. I honestly feel like all the bags are the same. The difference is only in size.

“Hai handsome. More shopping?” Richie is shocked by the voice of a woman. Evely.

“Incompanion of my beloved. She's the one shopping.” Richie pointed at Hannah who was busy choosing. Hannah nodded politely to Evelyn.

“Enak yes he has a handsome girlfriend, rich again like you. But at least your taste is better now than you chose Airin. ” Evelyn laughed while looking at the bag she was going to buy. Richie doesn't pay attention to it. He only glanced at Hannah who looked furious at what Evelyn was talking about.

“This is Mba..I take that black one too, same that green line.” Evelyn seemed to know which one she was going to buy. Just as she was about to pay, Richie approached her.

“A lot of buying bags..Want me to pay in?” whispered to Evelyn.

“No need. I still can. Just pay for your girlfriend's bag. Look at his eyes already want to look out at us.” Evelyn smiled spoiledly.

“Daahh handsome..” he winks his eyes to Richie. Richie is disgusted to see it when he remembers what he did to Aiden and Airin. What matters is that he saw it. Felix Suhendra's credit card, like the photo Aiden showed.

Hannah spills her frustration over Evelyn's attitude as she and Richie eat lunch.

“Kok people still nyebelin that huh? I guess it hasn't changed in the past. Many people do not like it. You are also doing near him.” Hannah grumbled while drinking the latte she ordered.

“Meaning Evelyn? Do you know Han?” ask Richie.

“Not known, just know. Many of my friends are singers. Heard she wanted to be a singer, but she didn't get pregnant. My friend says he's such a good-ass guy, likes junior bully. He continued to be a singer in France, my friend said he was not too famous there. But yes, it looks very arrogant.”

Hannah stopped the story for a moment. He sees Richie's face being too serious. Like not liking the story.

“Sorry.. I'm kind of bad at vilifying people, right? I just heard what my friend said, and from what I saw earlier it looks like he really sucks.” Hannah continues. He does not want to be impressed like talking about others, especially in front of Richie.

“Continue story. I want to hear.” Richie said seriously.

“Then Evelyn will come back here because of the file there. He said he was involved in a contract fraud case if it wasn't wrong. You don't know he's in jail. But this is my friend who told Ric. But usually his story is valid anyway, let alone he knows the same producer in France there.” explained Hannah.

“Keep what else do you know?” Richie asked again.

“You why the hell? I became suspicious. Don't you have a crush on him huh?” Hannah pouting. Finally Richie tells the relationship between Evelyn and Aiden and Airin in outline. Not too detailed. Richie is not

willing to indulge in other people's family problems, especially when it comes to Airin.

“Jeez..it turns out he was so the guy huh. Take it easy, Ric, I'll ask you again if my friend has any more info. “ Hannah looks very excited to help Airin. Airin has helped

his relationship with Richie.

“But please don't tell me about Aiden and Airin ya Han to your friend.” Richie reminded.

‘Thank you Han, someday I will definitely repay your kindness to me.’ Richie said in his heart.

Richie returned to his papa's office that afternoon after dropping Hannah off at his agency office. Richie called someone.

“Erwin, how are you bro?” greet Richie.

“Good. But it's a little suspicious if you call. Want to hang out or ask for help?” asked Erwin while laughing.

“Ngundangnya later yes, there is no candidate hahaha... So the answer choice is the last one right?” questions that don't need answers.

“I guessed it. So, what can I help you with?” ask Erwin again.

“Gini, you have been with Om Felix for two years, still in the financial section right? I'm actually not good to ask you to do this, but I don't know who else to ask for help.” Richie was confused as to how to start.

“Lo ask me to take my boss's money? Crazy lo!!” Erwin yelling.

“Wait.wait..not so Bro. I'm just asking you to check something.” Richie was sure Erwin would help him. Not that Richie expects Erwin's favor, but it's not wrong to try right? Erwin actually comes from quite a family. Richie and Erwin became friends when they both went to college in America. But in the third year, the Erwin family was exposed to problems and threatened with bankruptcy. Erwin also plans to drop out of college because there is no cost. Richie insists on offering his help to finance Erwin's college. It's a pity if it breaks up in the third year, Richie's reason. After they returned to Indonesia, Richie also offered Erwin to work in the company of Felix Suhendra who is actually a subsidiary of Richie's father. That was why Erwin finally decided to help Richie. Not only because of return, but if there are financial transactions that

suspicious then Erwin must also be responsible for negligence of duty.

“Mas, yesterday I met with your niece Richie. She was shopping for a branded bag with her lover.” Evelyn told me before they started their afternoon activity. Understand, Felix always comes home

like a good husband in general. So the conclusion is that not all men who always come home are faithful men. Not all yes. Noted.

“He doesn't know you, right?” Felix asked.

“No, I only know him from the photos you show.” Evelyn denies.

“Yes natural she bought an expensive bag for her lover who is the artist. Cheap time bag? There is a lot of money for Richie. You can buy it for you. Especially her.” Felix started taking off all the clothes he was wearing. There was no shame between them.  Felix started kissing Evelyn. Evelyn was like a drug to him. He was even willing to skimp in order to keep Evelyn by his side.

“Tomorrow buy new lingerie yes.” whispered to Evelyn. Evelyn nodded. Dim the room lights. Evelyn begins to do what she loves most: imagine her hugging and making love to Aiden.

Felix left after his ritual with Evelyn was finished. Evelyn was relaxing while opening the incoming email on her phone. Read it word for word before he starts screaming. Email containing “The right visit of Evelyn Princessa Sudrajat to Darren Kevin Alexander reduced from once a week to once a month.”, has made Evelyn like a madman. He slammed things near him. All Evelyn had in mind was that she would rarely meet Aiden, once a week she still missed, let alone a month. He has to find another way to get Aiden. It didn't matter if he had to sacrifice his pride. Evelyn feels she has sacrificed a lot for Aiden until she is willing to become Felix's mistress. Felix is neither

perhaps taking any action if Evelyn is caught betraying her, Felix is also afraid if she is exposed.

“It's all your fault Airin, YOUR FAULT!!!” his yell.
