The Dark Secret of the Actress
Chapter 82 RGSA - Neglected By Everyone

Time passes quickly.

It felt like two hours had passed since Catalina first came here. If it counted from the first time he was picked up at the mansion, then it had been almost three hours.

The old man and the young man walked side by side out of the villa. Their conversation sounds very pleasant. Every now and then they laughed and familiarity formed very quickly.

Catalina had no idea since when her relationship with Raphael had become this good. But the old man had a good thought and was also wise. He felt he had met the right person.

But still he has to go. It's been a long time. He was afraid that Lexus would come back and meet him here. He was not ready to meet her. Very unprepared.

Catalina bows. "Thank you, Mr. Geffrey. I'm very happy to see you today" he said respectfully. In between by Raphael Geffrey, even if only up to the page, it is an honor that he can show in front of Sehan.

He wanted to say, 'look, I'm back in one piece, right? I told you everything would be fine. And you won't listen, ish ish ish', he will say those words arrogantly in front of Sehan. But of course he will say it next time. Because after this he will ask the driver to drive him back to the condominium.

"I'm glad you came too. Your chess game is great. I wish you could come again another time and if that time comes, I will defeat you" Raphael said confidently. It's hard to find a balanced chess playmate. There are, but they are their peers. Not a young man like Catalina.

His eldest son was too busy with his work, not having time to accompany him to play. His youngest son was the same, he was just as busy. As for his wife, he is a woman who prefers shopping rather than playing chess. That's why his chessboard has been idle for so long. To this day, he was finally able to reopen his chessboard and play it to his satisfaction.

Catalina smiled a little. "In that case, I can't wait to see your ability" he said. "If that time comes, should we bet using money?" coined. For Catalina, it is not difficult to please or capture the hearts of parents.

While still at Valdes, he was used to seeing some parents playing chess on the side of the road. He noticed them and one day he tried to play them. It took a long time until he was finally able to master all his techniques and defeat the opponent.

After feeling quite capable, he went to a special place where people could play chess and pick opponents and then use money as a bet.

From there, he earned extra money apart from working part-time. It felt so good and I don't know why he missed those days.

Valdes is the place he hates the most but also the place he misses the most.

Funny, right?

He once said he would never regret leaving that damn place, but only a few months later, he had missed it. How naive.

"of course. We'll use the money next time" replied Raphael.

Catalina could not help but smile. It's nice to have parents like this. If he had it, maybe he would take care of it all his life. But unfortunately, he doesn't have it, and probably never will.

Catalina bowed once more before getting into the car. And when the car that took him left the villa, a car with a different model but the same color, entered the villa area.

Seeing Raphael still standing in the courtyard, Lexus who saw this, frowned. He followed Raphael's gaze and saw a car slowly moving away.

Lexus looked at his mother. "Mom, what's Daddy doing there?" tanyakanya. She had just accompanied her mother to shopping. And they spent a few hours going in circles, going from one store to another, and the rest were exhausted on the way.

If he did not remember this woman was his mother, for whatever sake, he would not waste his precious time on such an insignificant matter.

But given how she gave birth, cared for and raised him well, it was fine even if he spent an entire week accompanying her.

After all, he was a handsome and devoted child.

Sarah raised new. "Where do I know" he answered. "Why didn't you ask her?" After saying that, he got out of the car. She was in a bad mood when she saw her husband looking so happy.

Why is her husband like that, of course because his favorite daughter-in-law came. It was also the reason that made him unhappy and the reason why he asked Lexus to accompany him shopping. Other than not liking the girl, he also did not want to deal with her.

Hearing his mother's stern answer, Lexus coughed a little. Not knowing what was wrong, the woman suddenly returned to biting mode. A real woman.

Lexus grumbled in his heart before following his mother down from the car. Walking a few steps, he stopped in front of Raphael. "Dadd, what are you doing?" tanyakanya.

Seeing how his father comforted his mother, as well as how his father left him, Lexus let out a long sigh.

Yesterday he was dragged from his sister's company, he was bullied by his mother when he had set aside time to accompany her shopping, and now his father ignored him.

After thinking about it carefully, he was convinced ten thousand percent he was not the biological child of his parents. He is clearly an adopted child. Even if everyone said he was a real child, he wouldn't believe it.

***

The return journey was filled with silence.

But at least the results Catalina got were very satisfying. In addition to his curiosity fulfilled, he also knew the reality that had been disturbing his mind.

One after another a secret, slowly began to show a bright spot.

And so far, Catalina is quite satisfied with the result.

Upon hearing her phone ring, Catalina immediately grabbed her phone inside her bag. Seeing the name, he immediately accepted it. "Hello."

Behind the call, Sehan sighed in relief when he heard Catalina's voice. He was very worried about the girl and intended to go after her. But unexpected events happen. Kenny suddenly contacted him and said there was a serious problem in the company.

Although not willing, in the end Sehan went to the company and finished his business. He had just walked out of the meeting room and called Catalina. He thought of catching up with her, but this had been a long time. Even if he went to the villa, the girl might have gone home. So he decided to call her.

Hearing Sehan's long breath, Catalina frowned. "Why are you breathing out? Are you all right?"

"I'm not okay. I'm so worried about you, you know!" answer me, a little more relaxed.

"You're worried that your father's gonna make it harder for me?" Catalina chuckles. "Come on, I told you I'm fine. Why don't you trust me? Even if you don't believe me, you should trust your father, right?" Raphael was so kind to him, how could he hurt him?

"I only believe what I think. No matter what, I..."

As Sehan was speaking, Catalina kept her phone away from her ear and said in a low voice, "Can you drive me to the condo?" ask the driver while closing the speaker on his phone.

"Of course, Miss," said the driver.

Catalina nodded. It's fine then.

After that Catalina again brought her phone to her ear and listened to Sehan's words. But it is not the order of the words, but rather it turns into a question.

"You're not going back to the mansion?" ask Sehan. What Catalina said to the driver, it was impossible that he did not hear it. Catalina obviously asked the driver to drive her to the condo instead of to the mansion.

Catalina. He's closing the speaker, right? And he had also used the lowest voice he could make. But how could Sehan hear it? Is he spying on her?

Knowing what Catalina was thinking, Sehan said, "Stop thinking the no-no. I can hear it even if you close the speaker."

Caught off guard, Catalina cleared her throat, "Ehm, look, I have to go back to the set tomorrow. You know, I have to prepare well."

"Is staying away from me also part of the filming preparations?"

Catalina. That word, isn't it too trap?

Damnit.

Catalina forgot that Sehan was a demon. Ordinary humans, how could it possibly win arguing against him?
