Willy was experiencing quite acute anxiety with Cleo's silence, who didn't do anything to refute Harry's words. Could everything he said be true?
Once again, Harry hated the situation that required him to repeat the words he had said from the start. So after staring lazily at Willy, Harry returned to his words.
"The answer will remain the same. Do you still need to confirm it?" Harry asked in a sarcastic tone. So Willy immediately looked at him sharply as well as Cleo who was glaring at him.
"Stop your words and let me do the talking!" Cleo broke the two of them in a serious tone. She looked at Willy.
"Willy I'll explain to you later, but not now! I need to talk to him first and contact you only after that. So please don't think nonsense and do nonsense!" Cleo exclaimed, warned. And then pulled Harry along with her before the man messed up even more.
Went left Willy who was helpless in place. Who was rethinking all the words Harry and Cleo just said to him. Until muttering doubtfully.
So all that true? he muttered bitterly and disappointed. There were many glints of disappointment in his deep eyes.
Cleo had pulled Harry away from the garden to talk more seriously. Staring at the man with great power and as if she wanted to scream but was restrained. Cleo chose to ask him in a tone that was deliberately made as gentle and arrogant as possible.
"What are you really doing?" Cleo asked with displeasure and hands on her hips. Until she threw a smile full of meaning.
"Are you in the mood to mess up my private life?" Cleo asked again by adding.
Cleo knew very well that Harry had paid her a lot for their marital status. But, did it take her to make it this far? Willy certainly had nothing to do with their marital status. So why should Willy know and be involved?
Hadn't they both agreed not to interfere with each other's personal affairs?
Cleo was back to remembering all her fantasy stories which had now become in vain!
Harry, who was now calm, gave Cleo a glance and replied.
"I'm just saying the truth. Is it wrong?" Harry asked plainly and feigned innocence.
Cleo laughed it off.
"Why? Are you afraid that guy might misunderstand you and think nonsense? So that your relationship actually becomes damaged?" Harry asked sarcastically and flashed a look that was utterly dissatisfied with the question that came out of his own mouth.
Cleo looked at him in disbelief.
"What did you say?" She asked doubtfully.
"I don't care what relationship you have with him in the past. But now, you have assumed the status of being Miles' wife. So please maintain your attitude and don't try to break the existing rules," Harry said in a tone that was quite threatening and froze the atmosphere around him.
Cleo looked at him in amazement.
"Maintaining attitude and breaking the rules?" Cleo repeated with half mockery.
"What kind of rules do you mean? The rule about each one of us has no right to interfere in the affairs of each of our partners? " she asked, trying to recall the rules she remembered and cared about.
However, Harry actually discussed other rules.
"The rule about no cheating in our ongoing marriage relationship," Harry explained and Cleo was even more amazed.
"What did you say? Is there such a rule?" Cleo asked in disbelief and wailing. The reason was that she had now completely read through all the ridiculous protocols their side gave her. However, the matter of adultery between each partner was clearly never mentioned in the contents of the contract.
So where did all of his unwritten narrative come from? Was he making up a story?
And in spite of all that, what was this baseless and groundless accusation? Was Harry implying that he wanted to talk badly of her?
"For whatever it is! Willy and I aren't as connected as you think! He and I purely just friends. And we are not in the situation you mentioned!" Cleo exclaimed, emphasizing and she cast all her disapproving gazes at Harry.
"So how do you want to go back to suing me for breaking the contract and filing a lawsuit? Do you want to do it? " Cleo asked in a very sarcastic tone.
Cleo never knew what was really on Harry's mind. But the more she followed his line of thinking, negative things always came to her mind no matter how she tried to think positively.
"After all, wasn't the matter of adultery never being discussed in the contract? Since when did that rule exist?" Cleo asked, who was completely unsure if the rule really existed. And began to suspect, that the rules were immediately made by Harry to just annoy her.
But could Harry think that?
Not finished yet, Cleo said all her complaints. The man who was like a walking ice rock just strolled away casually and left without arguing. So that Cleo immediately chased him.
"Hey! I'm not done talking! Do you have to just leave?" Cleo asked, could not accept. But Harry continued to step his feet as he pleased instead while talking casually to her occasionally.
"If the contract doesn't exist, I'll just ask Dirga to make it," Harry exclaimed flatly but sounded meaningful. Made Cleo frown.
"What did you just say?" Cleo asked while continuing to chase Harry, "Changing the contract? Which part?" Cleo asked, couldn't stop thinking.
Isn't the contract content quite a lot and troublesome? Why do you still have to change the many contracts? Are there any parts that are still wrong? Cleo's heart didn't want to accept. However, Harry stuck to his argument.
@w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l
"About relationships with other partners, apart from the one concerned. I need to revise it to make it clearer to you," Harry said as he walked toward his car and opened the door. Cleo continued to follow him.
"What do you mean? Wasn't that issue never discussed in the letter of agreement from the start?" Cleo asked, demanding an explanation and Harry remained indifferent.
Cleo, who had seen Harry get into the car, was silent for a moment outside, waiting for him. She didn't dare to get into the car with him because Harry wouldn't necessarily let her. So while still standing quietly outside the car, Cleo looked at the man full of doubt.
There were so many ridiculous articles that she had to obey. So now, the man wanted to add it back again? Cleo rolled her eyes tiredly.
And Harry, who realized that Cleo did not move from his position, looked at Cleo with a strange look and then made a sound.
"What do you do there? Come in and don't linger," Harry said, giving orders and Cleo immediately obeyed him. Turned her body to the other side of the passenger door, then sat down beside Harry without making a fuss.
Harry, who saw Cleo in his car, asked the driver to drive the car back to the office. Hearing that, Cleo immediately protested.
"Office? Why do I have to come to the office? Isn't this my day off?" Cleo asked, not understanding and disagreeing.
Harry looked at him lazily.
"Of course to revise all the articles in the contract so that you don't violate the rules that should exist, and there will be later!" Harry said indifferently. Then move a little to start closing his eyes in order to relax.
Since seeing Cleo together with that man who knew who he was, all the nerves in Harry's head somehow became tense. Even though Harry himself did not know what the trigger was. But seeing that woman continued to act at will and out of control. Harry felt he needed to get a few things straight.
However, Cleo, who didn't agree, continued to raise her objections.
"I didn't break any rules! And don't use your patented speech rights to persistently bully me! I'm not a doll that can follow the direction of the wind you blow. And I have my own private life that you can't interfere with," Cleo exclaimed loudly and steadfastly.
Unfortunately, Harry responded with displeasure and opened his eyes to gaze deeper at Cleo. Trying to bring his face closer to Cleo to trace more carefully every corner of her oval face.
Until observing her deep beaded eyes and clear eyes when she looked at someone. Harry continued to stare at Cleo with a serious expression. Harry even seemed hypnotized. And Cleo actually felt shocked.
Cleo took a little step back to keep some distance. And Harry who saw that kept moving his face forward to get closer to Cleo. Stared at Cleo so intensely and focused. Until the calmness in Cleo's facial wrinkles can be seen more clearly.
"What are you doing?" Cleo asked without understanding and Harry grew more furious with Cleo's indifference and numbness to him.
