Chapter 5

"Turn right there on the left side of the road." command of the male passenger of Clear.

He just followed the man. He secretly took a deep breath. He already knows where the ending of this scene, 'holdup', is going. But of all the taxis it can holdup, it is a big mistake that he was chosen. There are no houses on the side of the road and they can see nothing but vast fields and some fisheries. At the far end are both vacant lots filled with tall grasses. When they got there, the man who was tucked in the side of his pants quickly pulled out a gun. Clear did not say a word as he pointed the gun at his head. It doesn't matter to him that the gun will focus on the senses.

"Stop it." strong command of the man.

He stopped the car next to it.

"I have all your money and your phone!"

He silently took his wallet out of his pocket. He gently handed it to the man and when he took it from him he quickly shook his hand, holding the gun and immediately locked it.

"Urgh!"

He let go of the gun but the man still resisted and was about to punch him but he quickly pulled the seatbelt and immediately wrapped it in his hands until it had its mouth and then locked it. He quickly punched the man in the jaw. He made sure it got caught in what he did. He grabbed the gun it had dropped and rudely pulled in front of the man.

"You're unlucky and I'm the one you chose to holdup." his short language.

"Ump!" the man can't speak because his mouth has a patch.

He took his wallet and put it back in his pocket. He started the car again.

"Let's go to the precinct." he announced.

The man's eyes widened and he struggled to tie. Clear shook. This one is really stubborn. A strong hit on the nape of it he released. The man is asleep. He continued driving and as he said, he directed the suspect to the precinct. When they arrived there was...

"Oh, this is your third time ah?" Armand said in amazement to him.

This is their police friend. Clear took a deep breath and folded his arms.

"I do not know." he shrugged.

It laughed softly at him.

"All right, I'll take care of this one. I know you have something more important to do. Be careful."

"Thank you. I’ll just give you a donut and coffee later. Just let me know when you find out what I'm telling you."

"All right, do not worry. I have ordered my assets. As soon as we get an update, I will call you immediately."

"Thanks!"

He saluted it and it did the same to him. He left and immediately. He would have turned the key when his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket. The caller’s number is unregistered. He frowned. He answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Clear! It's Bloom."

He smiled when he heard the girl's voice. It turns out that she bought a new phone. Fortunately, he decided to immediately replace the sim card he was using so that she would not caught him on his undercover.

"How are you?" he asked excitedly.

"Hmm... I’m okay. Are you busy today?"

"No. Why?"

"Then can I rent you now? Gida and I are going to have a client. He is busy now so he will just send me."

Clear smiled. Looks like Gida is helping him?

"Okay. I don't have any passengers now. I'm coming."

"Okay thanks! I'll wait for you. Bye!"

"Bye!"

He ended the call and excitedly started the car. He will make sure he arrives quickly. He seems to want to continue to hug Gida! Bloom had just retouched when the taxi arrived in front of her at Gida's shop. The driver immediately got off and smiled when he saw her. He calmly entered the shop and approached her. He smiled at the same time saying...

"I'm already here, Ma'm."

She was shaken.

"I guess your speed?"

"Hmm... I just came from a nearby precinct so I got here quickly."

She was a little surprised by what the Clear said. She was a little scared because of what had happened to her.

"H-Have you been holdup? Are you okay?!" she asked worriedly.

It laughed softly.

"No, I just delivered a passenger there." Said Clear.

It would not be good if he told the truth that he was indeed holdup. Bloom took a deep breath.

"Is that so? Sorry ah? You know, I'm a bit paranoid..." the girl said.

Bloom sorted the folders stacked next to it. They are motifs that their client chooses.

"I'll take that." Clear volunteered.

She smiled and immediately handed over the folder, Clear immediately took it from her.

"Thanks." she said.

"Your welcome."

Clear even greeted her as if he were a soldier. She smiled even more but she was amazed to stare at it. In its posture, it looks like it really came from the military.

"Are you from the military?" she suddenly asked.

Clear was stunned. Of course, he was undercover... He quickly thought of a reason.

"Ahm, I only learned this at school. You know, CAT. I also did scouting in grade school. Always ready!"

Bloom's smile never faded due to Clear's cuteness. She could not understand but she was like a teenager who was thrilled. She glanced at the note that Gida had left her. There is the address of the client she needs to go to. Then she remembered that she had never been to the place. That is because it is a famous Subdivision that is exclusive to high-ranking people. She was a little nervous at the thought of stepping on the rich man's place.

"Ahm, Clear..." she hesitated.

"Yes?"

"Do you know this address?"

Clear approached her and looked at the paper she was holding. Clear's eyes widened as he saw the address written on it. He was secretly nervous. He suddenly had a bad trip with Gida and he wanted to strangle him! He knew very well the address written there because that was their only house!

"Miss Cassey Imperial is my client's name. How are you, Clear? You have a rich relative, right?" Bloom's language seemed doubtful.

The young man swallowed.

"A-Ahm, maybe just my name in the surname."

"She’s so extravagant ah? She will only have her sixteenth birthday but she seems to have an 18th birthday."

"You know, she’s rich..." he said guilty.

"Let's go!"

"O-Okay." Clear said awkwardly.

He clenched his fists. And he just took a deep breath. He is in danger... Bloom certainly would not forgive him when she found out his secret. Only he took the first step, and now he see no hope in the second step. 'Get ready for me, Gida!' He just kept his intense anger to himself. They went out of the shop one after another. He opened the car door for Bloom.

"Thanks!"

He smiled awkwardly and then turned around to get in the driver's seat, after a while he started the car. He is constantly doing deep breathing. He even overcame the enemy's capture and torture. 'That Gida is crazy ah?! What did that one think?! ' He continued in secret indignation. While Bloom was looking at Clear in amazement. Now she is completely doubting its character. Why did she not remember that the Imperials were one of the most powerful clans? And she really doubts if Clear is really a taxi-driver. Apart from the fact that it does not really look like it, its behavior is more questionable.

Bloom's stare did not escape in the corner of Clear's eyes. Doubt was evident on its face. His jaws tightened. He already knows the consequences, he will be booked. All he now needs to prepare for, is the explanation. After that, come what may. He could not stand her stare...

"Why?" he asked casually.

Bloom was stunned and blinked when she saw the young man glance at her for a moment. She did not know how long she stared at its face.

"A-Ahm... Nothing."

She quickly turned her gaze outside. A deafening and awkward silence prevailed suddenly. Until they reached their destination the young man did not talk to her. As long as it was seriously focused on driving and she did nothing the whole moment but steal her gaze. She was very curious of the young man's personality. They stopped in front of a large gate painted black and gold. The young man silently got out of the car. It went to the side of the gate and hit the intercom then. Bloom could not hear what the young man was saying because it was a bit far away.

She was a little surprised when the giant gate suddenly opened. She peeked inside the yard. That was very spacious. She could see the house they were going to. She swallowed because it just looked like a toy. It was still far from where they were. Clear arrived and got in the car. He simply stared at her then smiled sparingly but she did not speak. It started the car and they finally entered the wide yard. Suddenly her heart pounded. Her throat suddenly dried up. She knew something would happen...

A few moments later they reached the opening of the big house at the top of the small hill that the landscape was so beautifully. She not only went to a house but it was a three-story mansion.

"We're here! Welcome!"

She looked at Clear and stared intently.

"Welcome." its repeated in the last word.

She feels weak. She thought so! He got out of the car and turned to open the door. He held out his right hand and stared at her. She hesitated to accept his hands. Her hands are cold and her knees are tender with nervousness. The two servants opened the big doors and they went straight inside. She looked around... All were classic, old, but elegant. They heard footsteps approaching and saw a beautiful girl running down the stairs. She quickly approached them and immediately hugged Clear.

"Kuya!" its language is still noisy.

Clear laughed softly and returned the hug to his sister.

"How are you, Snow White? What, are you being nice while I'm away?"

Cassey let go of her older brother's hug.

"I used to be nice. What drama is that? Why are you wearing a taxi-driver uniform, huh?"

Clear hesitated to stare at Bloom. She is silent and her whole face is red.

"Work is the reason. I already mentioned it to you, didn't I?"

Cassey nodded and looked at the woman with her older brother. She smiled mischievously.

"Is she your girlfriend?" she asked.

Clear laughed at his sister's mischief and messed up her hair.

"No. Not yet... She is Bloom Alcantara, she is Gida's friend and she was sent by that flirt to talk about your birthday. Bloom, my younger sister, Cassey."

Bloom's cheeks kept warming. At their first meeting, she doubted if Clear was a real taxi-driver and her suspicion was correct. It's just that she got a little on board because he was good at answering her questions.

"Hello! I'm Cassey!"

Bloom looked at the girl. She smiled broadly while staring at her and warmly held out her right hand to her. She reached for her hand and they shook hands.

"Hi, Miss Cassey. Nice to meet you." she spoke politely.
