(BL) Mafia Love; He who falls the hardest loses-Chapter 92: Missing owner
Chapter 92: Missing owner
He didn’t hesitate a bit and told Kiyoshi to drive him to the man’s house. He stepped into the house as though he had become an owner and he didn’t notice how natural his behavior was.
The doctor was not around either making him raise an eyebrow at the man’s absence but his growling abdomen did not give him the time to think much about the man’s absence. He went to the kitchen and made noodles himself once again.
He packed a bowl of vegetables and set it on the side alone since he had finished all the fruits in the man’s fridge.
He wondered what had the man so busy he had no time for grocery shopping to restock his fridge. The house seemed to be what made him very comfortable even when the owner of the house was absent.
When he was done cleaning the dishes and pot as usual, he wanted to work out but the man did not have any workout equipment as he figured out the last time. He did not want to skip his usual workout routine.
He wondered how the man looked that good while lacking any of the sort of equipment in his house. He could only guess he did his workout without any type of equipment or that the man had a gym membership somewhere but that had to change.
He called Kiyoshi and made a list of all the equipment he wanted in the man’s house. After the order was made, he walked around the house trying to choose the best sight for it. The man’s house was large for someone living alone but it was less than half the size of all the houses Haruki had.
He had a hard time deciding where to put the equipment. He decided to put them in the living room after walking from the guestroom to the living room several times to make the decision.
When those moving the equipment came up, Haruki had made a perfect plan in his mind on how he wanted them to be arranged and where to put them in the man’s sparse living room which had only a few necessary furniture.
Kiyoshi followed the men in and ordered them on how to go about the arrangement according to what Haruki had told him but Haruki was standing behind watching everything as though he was scared that they would mess it up even when having Kiyoshi handle it for him.
It was as though the man couldn’t trust his very own assistant with such a task. The men were done with their work and it was time to go, Kiyoshi had to leave with them but as he turned his back to look at Haruki he wondered why Haruki was so involved.
Haruki rarely paid attention to how his house was designed well except for his wine cellar. He was sure to pick what he wanted to be put in it and what not to be put in it as he handled the design meticulously he could still remember how the designer was a bit shaken by his seriousness.
He was okay with most of the designs in the other houses and hotel rooms he stayed in unless something completely over the top was placed in it and that seldom happened.
It was only once in a while when he needed other special installations that he had to oversee himself, especially those involving his security in his homes but here was that very same being careful about placing equipment in someone else’s home.
He figured that he did not see the doctor in the house while he was there so he decided to find out where the doctor was. He drove straight to Hiroshi’s hospital and stepped down. He could guess that it was time for the man to get off work so if he was not at home then, he had to be at work.
He knew from the security placed with Haruki in that building and he confirmed that the doctor didn’t come yesterday and he was away from the house yet again. He wondered if the man was intentionally running away from Haruki.
As soon as that thought came to his mind, he brushed it aside immediately. What could give that doctor the right to hide away from Haruki even if they had any sort of argument that would make him sulk?
It was okay for him to leave for a day but when it continued even to the next day, Kiyoshi felt something was wrong. He called the doctor’s number before he stepped out of his car. The call didn’t go through because the doctor’s number wasn’t available to be reached.
He shook his head and got out of the car. He knew his way around the place a bit and it was easy for him to get to the doctor’s office but he was stopped halfway by someone who must have noticed him wandering around as a stranger.
He looked at the security officer and told him he wanted to meet Dr. Yamamoto. A doctor overheard him and asked him where he came from.
Since he had a senior doctor around come to speak to him, he knew it was almost impossible for the person to not know of Haruki so he used his identity as Haruki’s assistant to speak to the man and he was soon led to Dr. Yamamoto’s office but it wasn’t the doctor he wanted to see that he was led to.
The old man was respectful enough to him as appropriate and when he finally asked about the whereabouts of the man’s son, the man’s eyes widened in shock.
It seemed as though he had come to realize something, perhaps a mistake he must have made.
***
Haruki back in the doctor’s house worked out and wanted to go to bed but he began replaying the fact that nothing seemed to have changed in the man’s house from the way it was when he left earlier that day.
That meant the doctor had not come home. He wondered what could keep the man away from his house. He tried to call the man’s number once again and he couldn’t get connected to the man no matter how many times he tried.
He had two thoughts on his mind. Either the man was so busy with work he could not come home and that was bad. He just wanted the man to come back to rest at least. There would be no one to look after his wellbeing if the man’s wellbeing isn’t guaranteed over being overworked.
He also could not help but wonder if the man knew he was in his house and chose to stay away for reasons he could not guess.
It was crazy for him to think about something of that sort but it was difficult for him not to have such thought when for the second time he was in the man’s house, he hadn’t seen the owner of the house and the man did not seem to have come to the house at all.
It wasn’t difficult for him to get rid of the thought though. He decided to go to the hospital to find the man or at least someone who could give him an explanation as to why the doctor was not in the house and where he could find the man to give him an explanation.
He washed off the sweat from his workout and wore one of the man’s clothes, took the man’s keys and went down to the parking lot area assigned to the man’s house. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He found one of the man’s car parked there. He got in and drove to the man’s hospital. He parked and got out of the car. He noticed Kiyoshi walking towards the exit as soon as he got in. Kiyoshi raised his head and met his gaze before walking to him and bowed.
He didn’t know what brought Kiyoshi to the place but he could not help but guess it was the same reason. "Did you meet him?" Haruki went on to ask.
"No, I heard from Doctor Yamamoto that he travelled abroad to his broad who is sick," Kiyoshi replied seriously.
Haruki frowned. Travelled? The man had the guts to travel out of the country and he could not even bother to tell him in advance or even to call him while in the country if it happened in haste that he did not get the chance to tell him beforehand.
It was hard not to feel insulted by the man who should have shown a bit of respect to him in this aspect. There were two reasons why the man should have called him before he travelled.
First, he was his doctor and he was repeating the same mistake his father made by going on a sick leave without prior information. And second, the man was his sex partner, they were in a partnership signed and sealed by a contract.
It was Aki who fell ill and there was no way he would have stopped Hiroshi from leaving if he was told earlier but the audacity to ignore such detail. . .
