Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Okay! He usually was talkative. But for this time, Willy was more talkative than usual.

"Me? Of course I work," Cleo replied casually.

Willy replied irritably.

"Work? Without coming home and notifying me?" Willy asked, did not accept it.

Cleo immediately coughed.

"You came to my house?" She asked pretending not to know.

"Yes. And I didn't find you."

"What for? Is there anything important?" Cleo asked to change the subject.

Willy immediately snorted.

"Do I have must something important before I come to see you?" Willy asked defiantly.

"Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?" Willy asked, not wanting to negotiate. He already understood Cleo's character who liked to be convoluted when she was cornered.

If it weren't for Willy who accidentally came to her house and tried to find her. Then asked some of the neighbors to find out why she was not there. Willy couldn't possibly know that Cleo didn't come home for two weeks.

Imagined that woman was about two weeks wandering outside. And it was not clear, what she was doing. apart from asking and calling blindly like this, what else could he do?

Cleo asked Willy to catch his breath for a moment. And Willy followed it. After the situation sounded more conducive, Cleo immediately answered slowly.

"I'm working out of town," Cleo argued.

"Working out of town? Why and where?" Willy asked.

"A very remote place and far from the city. I'm sure you won't know where it is. And I will working here for months or years. Do you remember what I told you before? About me, who already has a new job that can make me pay off all my debts?" Cleo asked.

Willy nodded. But when he realized Cleo couldn't see that his nodded. Willy aksed her.

"Yes. And then?"

Willy trying to relax.

"Right now, I have to work whatever and help him take care of his mother who is old and in desperate need of close care and care. That is why the man provided a house on the edge of the village and a nurse for the grandmother. Yes, you could say it is a kind of exile," Cleo explained with all her lies.

So that, Cleo got suspicious. 

What should the title of this novel be? 

'Contract Marriage' or 'Life Full of Lies'?

Cleo shook her head in an inability. Couldn't bear the cheers from the readers who might shouted her right now!

"So you work for an someone, who wants to ask you to take care of his mother who is old and in desperate need of care?" there was once a calm tone in Willy's voice.

"Yes! That is very correct!" Cleo exclaimed confidently.

Of course it was impossible for her to tell the truth. Because she had promised to keep everything about her secret marriage from anyone she knew according to the contract. But, Cleo was not sure how long she can survive from this sensitive friend.

this situation frustrated her.

the important thing for a while, Cleo just needed to lie.

"That is why! Please, as much as possible, minimize all contact with me for the foreseeable future! Because I will definitely be very busy and won't have time to reply you message or call. I hope you understand," persuaded Cleo.

And even though Willy didn't seem too accepting of the verdict, he still accepted it graciously for the time being.

"Okay, if that's what you want!" said Willy giving up.

Cleo only listen.

"Promise to say anything if you have a problem. Because, as much as possible I will help!" Willy said briefly and seriously.

Cleo seemed to agree.

"Deal!"

Finally, Cleo successfully ending the call better. Calmed down again and washed her hands. Then, came out of the toilet. Just when she stepped one foot out of the toilet door, Alfin greeted her at the door with a friendly smile.

"Do you need to answer that phone all the way down the toilet?" Alfin asked on purpose because he had been following Cleo for a long time and found her strange signs.

Cleo did not think that Alfin would be so sensitive and follow her at here. While responding casually, Cleo tilted her head slightly to the side to give her answer.

"Why? Is that not allowed?" asked Cleo, trying to pretend.

Alfin replied immediately.

"Of course, not. Not like that. But it's just that, why do you answer that phone call in the lower toilet, if you can answer it upstairs?" said Alfin in surprise.

Cleo looked at him.

Knew Alfin can't possibly hear the contents of the conversation on the phone with Willy. Because that man obviously couldn't possibly dare to go into the women's restroom carelessly without manners.

And because before she answered Willy's call, Cleo had also made sure that no one was in the toilet when she called. So, Alfin must still not know anything about Willy.

But with his investigating eyes, Alfin seemed to suspect her.

"You might not to..."

With his words floating about and Cleo's ignorance about Alfin knowing exactly what his relationship with Harry was, Cleo looked at him anxiously.

'Is it possible that Alfin knows something about her?' Cleo thought doubtfully.

Alfin continued his words with narrowed eyes.

"... secretly receiving phone calls from your secret lover, right?" Alfin asked, guessing with a very serious expression.

Cleo looked at him in disbelief.

What?

Was this man a fool? Why was that every time a certain sentence came out of his mouth?

He always managed to make Cleo dazed and dumbfounded?

Cleo tried to control herself so that she didn't hit, kick, or maybe tweaked Alfin's ear. Alfin's jokes are of no good quality. therefore, Cleo planned not to take it seriously.

But, what if it wasn't a joke? And this man now suspected her of cheating?

Cleo rolled her eyes randomly.

"Yes. If I have an affair, I think that man is you. Because you bravely followed me here secretly and tried to get close to me. Would you like to smell my soft sole?" Cleo asked in a very hasty manner.

Alfin chuckled in reply.

He knew what he said was just an assumption. But Cleo's answer was like a hammer that will punish him.

"But why do you have to answer your phone on the toilet? Didn't you say that it was just a stray phone call?" Alfin asked, not agreeing that his assumption was broken.

Cleo chose to ignore it. Walked casually past Alfin. And decided to return to Harry's office without including the man who kept asking her.

But it won't be Alfin if he can't follow Cleo wherever she will go. Until when they returned simultaneously to Harry's office, Cleo could not avoid the gaze that kept on her.

Harry, who was not with Dirga, stared at Cleo for a long time when the woman entered.

Without saying a word. The man succeeded in making the whole room a little gloomy and looking less than welcoming.

Don't know what bad report was Dirga reporting earlier. It seems that Harry is not in a good mood to accept Alfin's jokes again, which starts harassing him on not important news about Cleo. As he walked over to Harry's table, Alfin sparked his suspicions again.

"Cousin Harry, I think your wife just received a call from a man! She must be cheating right now! Aren't you going to stop it?" Alfin asked with a serious face. 

Cleo glared at him strangely.

What was that fake information?

And what is his purpose?

Cleo made an excuse and took action.

"Honey, that's definitely impossible!" argued Cleo.

And added confidently,"How could I cheat on you?"

Cleo looked at Harry with a face full of sadness and disappointment. Meanwhile, Harry only responded in silence.

He, who initially didn't want to be interested, started to listen. Alfin then continued his statement again.

"My cousin! I saw with my own eyes that she was answering stray phone call inside the ladies room! So don't you think that's suspicious?" Alfin asked very unwillingly, knowing that his cousin's wife may be cheated on him.

So that as a good cousin, shouldn't Alfin tell him this?

But before Alfin could see Harry's reaction further, Cleo had attacked him back.

"Should I answer that phone in the men's room? That way I won't be suspected?" Cleo quipped with the opposite figure.

Alfin frowned. 

He watched Harry and waited eagerly for an answer from him. He knew his cousin's marriage was just a lie. But was it possible that Harry will just let Cleo play with fire behind him?

Not. Not. Alfin is sure that it is impossible.

Alfin is more and more curious to know what Harry will think and say!

Ever since he realized there was a sense of annoyance shown by Harry, when he heard the annoying sound of a phone call. Alfin had predicted that Harry was quite disturbed by this.

Although he did not fully know what caused it and what triggered it, Alfin still wanted to play a role in what he thought it will be interesting. At least, Alfin can stir things up Harry's mind to found out his cousin's response.
