Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband
Chapter 131 - 131 ( Four Years Ago )Project Deluxe was hit by a second problem again after the field incident the other day. Forcing Harry to have to find a replacement model to replace Martha as their model ambassador, which he disapproved of. Harry was now waiting for Julia's trial photoshoot.
Realizing well that this woman was the woman Cleo had introduced directly, and he had doubts about her ability. Harry just followed Cleo's momentary wish to pleased her.
Knowing that Julia was not very likely to be their model and was doomed to fail because she did not have a bright color on her face as a basic model to attract the attention of many people to be drawn of her.
Cleo, along with several creative teams, deliberately dressed Julia very seriously and tried to cover up the rash on her face. Gave a light but solid finish. The choosing the best clothes for her, Julia now looked quite perfect in the middle of her appearance which already had pros and cons when she walked in.
Had prepared herself to do shoot highlight and indoor-frame for she showed, as well as printing it out. The results of Julia's photographs were deliberately exposed in large sizes in front of a projector screen.
All of the judges seemed to be thoroughly studying the entire photographs. And many of them liked the results.
Did not expect that the photoshoot was not as bad as they imagined because they knew that the model's background was not in the scope of modeling so far and was only an impromptu model.
Many people were quite satisfied with the results.
Likewise with Harry finally agreed to Cleo's choice. After he asked completely the opinions of everyone present. Where are most of them, looks very like the new and slightly different elements that Julia displayed in each of her expressions.
Until Harry suddenly imagined things that he shouldn't have imagined. It's like imagining Cleo wearing the same dress that Julia wore in her photoshoot.
Harry began to pat his head a little hard. Made everyone stare at him. Cleo, who was also in the meeting in the room, looked at him in surprise.
"Are you okay?" asked Cleo in a whisper beside Harry. And looking at the man in surprise.
"Why did you hit your head? Are the shots not good enough? Even though all teams have tried to do well from a few hours ago. Is Julia not accepted?" asked Cleo anxiously because she wanted to give Julia a decent job. And knew that Julia was in a crisis right now.
Her ex-boyfriend had all her money taken away. And if this time Julia succeeded in her work as an ambassador model. It would have made it easier for Julia to stay away from that man who had no modesty.
Hated having to see a fellow woman like herself being bullied and having no one to lean on. Cleo recalled how her fate used to be when she was also in debt and bullied by debt collectors who choked her.
So that Cleo didn't want Julia to experience the same experiences.
Pinched in a state that squeezed her.
Harry then broke Cleo's daydream with a happy answer. Cleo cheered happily.
"I will contract her for one year," said Harry, finally making Cleo look at him cheerfully. He also added.
"But if her performance is bad, I will immediately dismiss her unilaterally. Can you fulfill that condition?" Harry glanced at Julia and waiting for an answer after he asked.
Julia answered right away.
"Of course, sir." She exclaimed without refusing. Julia glanced slightly at Cleo to say thanks.
Ended the meeting and came up with the solution to his second problem solving the 'Deluxe Project'. Harry immediately contacted Dirga to help with the advertising process and confirmed their new model to Yugio Ent.
Harry then asked about another thing.
"Have you investigated what I asked the other day?" asked Harry.
Harry deliberately told Dirga to investigate in full on how Aretta's life journey for the past 4 years. And wanted to know what the real purpose of that woman was to come back to his life without knowing the rules as well as the shame, and even insensitivity in reading the situation.
Dirga explained clearly some of the information he got.
To say that everything Mr. Robby and his wife said was true. It turned out that Aretta had indeed worked as a tour guide in Bali and accidentally met Robby and his wife.
Have known each other for the past three months or so. Robby finally brought Aretta with him to this city. And she succeeded in getting the city migration supervisory team to pass it because she received a direct recommendation from Robby.
The limits of Harry's permission for Aretta were actually quite ambiguous. He ordered the city migration authorities to strictly detain the woman from entering for the next few years. Harry did not say exactly how many years it would take.
So that the migration party loosely let her passed.
Harry sensed that he had made a mistake. The fact that he should have made it clear that for all of that woman's life, she would not be allowed to return to the city that raised her for any reason.
Dirga then continued his story.
"Four years ago. Once you've managed to get her out of town and not let her back in for the next few years. Miss Aretta moved frequently from place to place on a brief basis. Out of her first city in Bandung, that woman then moved to Bogor, Surabaya, Makassar, as well as to several other parts of Java island ( cities within their country ). Miss Aretta finally started to stay longer in the city of Bali, her hometown."
Harry, who recalled the fact that Aretta was indeed born in the city of Bali, just listened in silence.
"Worked as a teacher and several other office administration jobs at first. Miss Aretta then changed her job to become a tour guide. So that, I did not find anything strange from the information I got,"
Harry was not sure.
"Then, the only thing I can conclude is, Miss Aretta looks like she just happened to come here and see you again, sir. You shouldn't be too worried about him!"
Harry thought for a moment.
Aretta couldn't possibly meet her by chance.
Because if it really was a coincidence, Aretta should have been quite as surprised as he was when they were introduced to each other by Robby after four years of losing contact on that shocking night.
Harry saw clearly that Aretta was looking fine at the time. It was just...
Why did that woman even come back and intrude on his life by pretending not to know each other? Did that woman think Harry had forgotten all her actions and would not recognize her well after they met?
And when Harry was still struggling with Dirga's thoughts and explanations to him, which he considered very illogical. Cleo already called him to ask a question.
"Is it true that you will leave the second meeting with Yugio's side, completely to me?" Cleo asking for the certainty of the task that was bothering her.
Harry had already agreed.
"Yes. But this time you have to do something for me," said Harry who suddenly came up with an idea. Cleo glanced for a while then obeyed.
But when she knew exactly what the plan was, Cleo immediately protested.
"What did you say? You want me to tap the conversation in a meeting using hidden earphones?" Cleo looked at Harry in disbelief.
Had Harry recently too much watched the film about a detective or a similar movie that he was so eager to put into practice right away?!
Telling her to secretly record their conversation, wouldn't that be illegal? Yeah.. although their conversation certainly won't center on anything too personal or maybe vilify other people, until it may appear contradictory.
But, what was the purpose of his bad idea?
If Harry really wanted to hear what Aretta had to say for himself, wouldn't he just have to come to the meeting and take her place? Why should he bother playing in the back?
"Is this some kind of your obsession with her?" asked Cleo summarizing the contents of her assumptions. Harry immediately gave her a derisive look.
"Obsession? Of course not! Why do you think like that?" asked Harry incredulously.
Of course because of your irrationality!
"Why that thing is not maybe? If you keep thinking about her even though she didn't do anything to you. If it's not an obsession, then what? Are you considering the desire to return to her?" Cleo spoke randomly.
Harry stared at her with a sharp gaze. Disagreed with what she said and will not be possible to even consider it. Harry immediately pushed Cleo out of the room.
"Hurry, go away! The meeting will start in ten minutes. They are already waiting downstairs," Harry said while pushing Cleo to move towards the elevator that would take her down.
Harry called two of his assistants to accompany Cleo.
Cleo, who felt that she had no other choice but to follow what was ordered, prepared for all the things she needed.
Brought some notebooks and reports which they will discuss at this time. Cleo tightly covered the small earphones that she puts on her ears with her black hair hanging down. Deliberately not tying her hair in various ways to cover up her embarrassing act.
Cleo entered the meeting room together with two other assistants.
However, when she just walked in and swept her eyes to all the guests. Cleo was surprised to recognize someone among them.
