So, if Cleo didn't prepare well, all the lies, completely and in detail, were flawless. Willy will quickly discover the slightest bit of irregularities and incorrectness in her entire story and in her attitude as well.
But rather than all of that, why had so many people recently wanted to ask her to go out?
After Harry asked her to go to a party. And Christina took her around to buy gifts while killing time. Now Willy also wanted to join in asking her to talk to him about things that Cleo was sure might lead to her if she wasn't careful?
Hah...
Actually, what kind of cohesiveness were fomenting the three of them? Did they do that on purpose to make it difficult for her?
Cleo again thought negatively about all the possibilities. Then when Cleo hadn't replied to Willy's message for quite a long time. A second message came back in to her cell phone.
[ 'If you don't have time. Let me meet you. Give me the address, and I'll find it. ] – Willy wrote.
And the second message was like a time bomb that was ready to explode anytime and anywhere!
So, where did he will meet Cleo? To the house of Harry who was her fake husband and messed up there? And then, let her be hanged alive by her cold-blooded husband?
Cleo laughed back at her bar fate. And it seemed, her brain was starting to work the wrong way out because it keeps getting cornered.
So that's why, Cleo broke her stupid reverie. Replied to a message from Willy.
Cleo replied modestly.
[ 'Later! If I have time, I'll call you right away! And sorry. Because my boss's grandmother asked me to massage her cramped hand. I have to go help her! For the time being I will rarely use the cell phone. That's why, don't contact me in the meantime. Okay? Bye~ ]
Cleo typed quickly and not thinking too much anymore. She then smiled amusedly read the message full of her joke with anxious hope.
Hopefully this joke can temporarily dampened Willy's curiosity. And wished she could think better of all the best storylines she could made up for the man who seemed to have a sixth sense!
Yeah. Cleo must be able to think about it quickly. Before that man was going to haunt her with the same million calls as two or three times in one day recently. He'd been even dared doing it all day long.
Did Willy have no other work? Or was he now out of his old job and unemployed? That's why he went home to find Cleo and ended up not finding her there. Then haunted her by all means so that Cleo responded to that one creature as if her concern was very important?
Cleo quickly ended her long and lying message. And putting her cellphone back in her bag. Raised her head slightly upward to look at Harry. Then accidentally her gaze met Harry because Harry had been watching her all along without Cleo noticing.
Cleo looked confused and a little suspicious.
'Since when has he been continuously staring at me? Did I do something wrong?', thought Cleo uncertainly.
Anyway, as long as it was related to a man who never tried to get along with him, Cleo wouldn't definitely think nonsense and mess up.
But Harry couldn't possibly dare to sue her just because she received and texted other men, right?
Guessed Cleo whatever she wanted. Ignored all Harry's stares that seemed to want to say something but didn't want too. So Cleo then asked him carefully and slowly. After cleared her throat once.
"I know, maybe my words will sound a little impolite. But, because this thing bothered my mind a little. I hope you won't mind if I question this," Cleo said very carefully. As if afraid that there were objects that can be broken easily.
Harry looked at Cleo. And Cleo continued.
"You .. will probably not collect money for all the dresses you gave me in the future, right?" She asked very anxious and curious.
Cleo still vividly remembered how Harry sued her for a very large amount of money, just because of a credit card that she completely didn't use.
So if this time that man wanted to reconsider the cost of the facilities for the dress she was wearing for his benefit. Cleo was clearly going to hold a massive demonstration of her rights by raising the red flag as a sign that she was strongly against his decision!
Took a brief look at the price tags and purchase receipts of the three dresses. Cleo was quite horrified to imagine the possibility that she might be dragged into a problem that she didn't want.
So for the first time, Harry looked at Cleo quite deeply and looked strange.
This was the first time, there is a woman has been so anxious about accepting a gift from him.
And had bad thoughts about what he gave. Yet from the start Harry never thought about it that far.
Yes. Although of course Harry could not possibly sue her because he bought the dress for his own benefit.
Harry never thought that Cleo would think of it as a burden that one day he would charge her back forcefully. As he had done before to test the woman, as she said.
Shedding his calm yet arrogant gaze, Harry jokingly answered Cleo's concern.
"Do you want me to do that? If that's what you want, I can give the bill to you later!" Harry exclaimed flat and nonchalantly. Made Cleo goosebumps spontaneously.
Cleo blinked her eyes compactly.
"Of course not!" She shouted confidently.
"If you didn't even think about it, I definitely couldn't possibly want it! You know myself, I don't have enough money to pay you well and without debt! So, instead of you wasting much of your precious time making it difficult for me. Wouldn't it be better if you did a lot of charity?" Cleo exclaimed with a smile that she made as cute as possible so that Harry would immediately change his mind.
Harry looked at Cleo with a little amusement.
"Yes. Because of that, you don't have to worry. I bought the dress for the party. I didn't buy it specifically for you. Because the party owner is a very critical person. So I don't want anyone to use this opportunity to criticize your bad fashion," Harry said honestly as if he could predict his future with precision.
Cleo sneered. Whose fashion was bad? She was half annoyed.
Realizing that Harry's words were conveyed very seriously. Cleo chose not to fight.
Harry had known Steven for almost 10 years since he was in school. Because of that, Harry knew very well what Steven was like. He liked something perfect. And hated something old-fashioned and didn't captivate him.
Therefore, buying clothes that were the most updated and classy were the most important thing for him to prioritize in following Steven's very high fashion sense.
While chuckling unsatisfiedly thinking about how the story went, he had an acquaintance who was like that walking eye and mouth. Harry stretched his neck muscles a little which felt stiff from the constant negativity thrown by his contract wife.
@w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l.o.n.l.y
@w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l.o.n.l.y
Harry sighed.
"The most important thing at a party is not to provoke action that will cause attention or noise. And keep that in mind," Harry said casually, reminding her.
Didn't know if it's because Harry had a bad feeling about the party they will attend later or what. But doing as much as possible precautions and strong warnings, he obviously really needed it to anticipate all the possibilities that could happen.
"Yeah. Yeah. I'm understand. No need to warn me so strictly. And act like I'm going to create trouble. I can take good care of myself. So there's no need to worry. "
Harry looked at Cleo dryly.
"Are you sure?"
Cleo nodded.
"Yes. Why not!"
Harry looks not sure. And Cleo added her words.
"I promise on my behalf, I couldn't to create trouble at the party or interfere with anything that happens in front of my eyes! I will be an exemplary party partner!"
"Okay. I will try to believe you. But, if you make a problem. I will take special measures!" said Harry reminded and sighed.
Well, at least Harry had warned her and asked her to be more careful. So that if later, the woman might encounter obstacles. She will definitely be able to remember what he said today.
That's what Harry thought at that time. But it seemed that time will increasingly went in a different direction from what he wanted.
The same serenity and peace as when he did not have a wife.
Everything's still gray.
Then, many things will certainly wait for them and continued to test them to know their respective feelings better.
