Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"You are going to be a moderator or an intermediary between the two companies?"

Assumed this information will be of interest and use to her in the future.

Martha asked about Aretta's contact.

"Give me your number and report everything you know about the Boss of the Theodore company. Including, anything you hear around of them. I will give you more tips if you manage to get interesting news," exclaimed Martha and looking happy.

Aretta nodded understood.

Martha then looked at Aretta with a little consideration.

"Are you already have a lover?" Martha asked, picking up some information about Aretta's personal life. Aretta shook her head.

"No, miss. But I already have a man who I was love," Aretta giving an honest answer.

Made Martha was even more pleased when she found out the information. Planned to use Aretta to help her get closer to Harry.

Without knowing that Aretta had said that on purpose to make Martha believe in her. Aretta was secretly glad because that woman was consumed by what she said.

***

Cloe, who finally had time alone with Harry, whispered something to her husband.

"Are you okay?" Cleo asked anxiously about Harry's mind and heart, which she knew, of course, right now was very messy because of Aretta's appearance.

Felt that Harry's face to be darkened. Cleo tried to dig Harry's heart.

Thought that Harry might feel better if he had said something to her. Harry actually replied calmly and did not show his anxiety.

Gazed at Cleo with one glance. Harry seemed to be showing his good condition.

"Of course, I'm good. Is there anything that makes me feel bad?" Harry asked with a smile that Cleo knew was a little forced.

Cleo scratched her head.

"Not really. But are you really okay seeing your ex coming back and appearing in front of you?" Cleo asked while lowering her voice so that no one could hear their conversation.

Harry replied succinctly, "Hem."

Choosing to just follow Harry's words, Cleo again told about Aretta.

"I didn't expect that woman still dared to show her face in front of you. Not to mention her attitude that pretends not to know you. She emerged as an assistant to your business partner. Will you be able to deal with her after this?" Cleo asked, started to think far. Harry only listened and did not answer.

Felt that the question was impossible to answer. Cleo continued her words.

"I heard they knowing Aretta in Bali. When they were on vacation and Aretta turned out to be their tour guide there. They recognized Aretta's superior ability to socialize with those around her and led many of the fieldwork she worked on before becoming a tour guide. Em, do you already know this?" Cleo telling what she had heard from her direct source, Mrs. Nadderine.

Somehow Mrs. Nadderine's face reminded Cleo of someone she didn't know who.

But her pretty face made Cleo think, it must be because she had been seeing too many beautiful women around her lately.

Let's say Harry's cousin, Christina. Then her mother, Mrs. Lily. And also ... wait a minute!

Wasn't that face very much like ... Martharine??! Nadderine and Martharine. Could they be...

"Is Mrs. Nadderine actually Martharine's birth mother? The sexy model woman?" asked Cleo with the assumption that she got quickly.

Cleo did not think that Martha had such respectable parents. Whereas so far, the issue of her conglomerate family had only been confusing.

Harry answered yes to Cleo's question.

Making Cleo even more unable to believe her own speculation. Cleo looked at Harry in amazement.

"So, they really are parent and child?" said Cleo in disbelief. Cleo finally understood one thing. Martha's beautiful face was inherited from the beautiful face of her mother, Nadderine!

Fruit never fell far from the tree!

Oh, No!

That why, no wonder many people wanted to be able to marry the best genes. Because it affected your family tree and your descendants!

Cleo looked at Harry anxiously. And decided to go back to their topic.

"So, do you ready know about the news? They met Aretta in Bali. And then purposely hired Aretta to help Mr. Robby's business in this city. This shows that you two seem very destined," Cleo said the last sentence on purpose.

Harry's eyebrows instantly turned up at her.

"Stopped your nonsense! I knew they met in that city from Robby. You don't need to explain it at length," Harry ordered Cleo to stop her sentences which made him sick.

Harry was felt unhappy with this discussion.

Felt pointless discussing women who no longer had any interests with him. Cleo then followed Harry's wish to stop discussing Aretta.

It really coincided with the appearance of Alfin and Reihan who suddenly came over to them when they had just arrived. They congratulated the couple who had been married for 4 months in advance. Alfin started with his joke.

"Look at how fast the time flies and how you have passed your 4th month of marriage. Just count 1 year and 8 months. Then both of you will be free," Alfin congratulated them in a unique way.

Reihan laughed at that too. Looked at Harry then asked.

"Did we arrive too late?" Reihan asked. And Alfin was a little worried about the remaining time for them to see an interesting show.

However, Cleo looked surprised to see the two of them coming at the same time. She then asked.

"You guys came together?" Cleo was surprised to see they knew each other.

Alfin gave the answer first.

"Yes. He's Harry's friend, which means mine too. And I need extra energy to bring Reihan here. He really didn't want to come here for personal reasons. So that, I only managed to persuade him, after half an hour, I was struggling in front of him. Is the party about to end?" Alfin asked, worried about many things.

He didn't want to miss something important, which was his main purpose in coming to Harry's family party.

And Cleo represented Harry to answer.

"Em, they said this party would still last until midnight. So you don't need to worry," Cleo explained, eased Alfin's anxiety. Then greeted Reihan.

"Hi, boss. Long time no see you" said Cleo while smiling.

Reihan replied immediately.

"Stop calling me with names that are no longer suitable now. You can call me Rei or Reihan. Up to you. And just for your information and not want to sugarcoat. You look very beautiful today, Mrs. Miles. Your dress fits perfectly. Did Harry specially choose it for you?" praised Reihan while glancing at Harry to gave him the code.

Harry just didn't seem to care.

So that, Cleo must nod to say yes. Alfin still seemed to be looking for someone. Asked for not being able to find that person. He looked directly at Harry.

"Has Steven come?" Alfin asked while looking for the figure of a man who was tall and would definitely catch the eye when he was present.

But not only the eye-catching appearance that was visible. Alfin also couldn't even feel the male artist's aura around the room they were in right now.

Please be advised. Apart from Harry, Steven actually was also an impromptu artist whenever the man appeared anywhere.

Harry, who seemed surprised to see Alfin was more interested in Steven's presence than the owner of the invitation itself and the family, raised an eyebrow.

"What are you looking him for? Do you have a big debt with him?" asked Harry, half utterly careless.

Alfin shook his head.

"Of course not. I'm just waiting for him to bring his sister, Steylla. Isn't it just Reihan among the three of us who haven't seen that woman's change in person?" Alfin explained while pointing at Reihan with the corner of his head.

Reihan replied.

"He insisted on bringing me here to see Steylla's changes. Has she really changed so drastically?" Reihan asked, quite curious and hard to believe.

Reihan, who was lazy to come because he didn't want to meet that woman, decided to finally come because of Alfin's insistence. The enthusiastic man told how Steylla looked so different after years of not seeing her.

Alfin even had time to recount how Steylla, who was so ignorant and neglected as a child, was often bullied so badly.

Saying that girl was like a walking monster because of her hair that would inevitably expand wildly every time she woke up from her sleep.

Alfin once saw a strange sight, when he came to Steven's house early in the morning to borrow his clothes. Accidentally saw Steylla came out too naturally from her room. The memory was still clearly embedded in Alfin's brain.

Felt that the story was quite silly and funny, Alfin often told about it dozens of times. Reihan was given a headache by Alfin's insanity, who kept praising Steylla for appearing like a goddess when she grew up.

Changed herself as a whole and appeared so feminine like a woman. Alfin deliberately forced Reihan to come with him here to make him see Steylla's new evolution for himself.

And as if they were having a long life, the two siblings appeared just as they had just finished talking about them.

Came with the appearance of them that caught the eye as Alfin had predicted. Steven looked surprised at everyone's expressions.

"What happened to the expressions on you guys' faces?" Steven asked in amazement about everyone's expressions.

Cleo, who felt included in it, asked.

"My expression? Why?" She asked, did not understanding. She looked at Steven questioningly.

Until Steven immediately corrected his words.

"I mean the expression of everyone except you, my lady. Because as usual, your expression is always fine. Did something happen to Harry? Why is his expression so gloomy?"
