Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"Just to wait until the time comes, Grandma. And believe me, that day will come."

This conviction prompted Cleo to glance at Harry but did not interrupt him.

Sofia looked more satisfied.

"Um, fine then. I hope that happy thing comes soon."

Sofia was smiling happily.

"Em... Grandma is getting impatient," she said with satisfaction.

Daniawan then asked everyone to disperse. Let the mother rest and maybe, if they still want to talk, you all can talk somewhere else.

Harry took this opportunity to ask for more details about the work of his team. Harry used the end of the corridor to discuss.

"How is the result? Has there been any progress? And what about the new target that I asked for, yesterday?"

"Everything is going well as you wish. Thanks to you acquiring Robby's mid-sized company, that man finally was planning to move out of this city and start a new business in other that."

Alfin's report was followed by Luan's next report.

"You also know about Martha's career. All the media and tv stations are talking about it. Not a single company wanted to work with her after that matter. Her entertainment career has been shattered. And that woman, of course, will no longer have the face to rejoin the world that once made her name to be proud."

Reihan added, "We didn't know what she's been up to so far. But based on reliable sources, that woman is now locked in her bedroom and not a single reporter can pull her out to speak."

Dirga followed them.

"Everything is safe and under control, sir. So, I congratulate you. And now, you maybe don't have to worry about Mr. Robby and his family anymore. But, you still have to worry about the pile of documents waiting for your approval and signature."

Harry ignored that. Didn't act as usual he did and suddenly his workaholic soul also disappeared.

Cleo seemed curious about a few things.

"You guys did something to Robby's company and even Martha's career?" she asked everyone as she joined in.

"Because of that, all the news on television about Martha, is it really your deed? And you've even acquired Robby's company too?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Yes. It was all our doing and I was the one who gave the orders. But I hope you don't act like an angel and go against me."

Cleo sighed.

"I don't want to protest or oppose your actions. It's just that I was too surprised to hear it. Because it was so easy for you to take your revenge on them and make it difficult for them to move around."

Everyone smiled faintly. Probably meant to brag. But nobody has wanted to voice it yet.

Cleo suddenly thought of Willy. He is Robbyanto's biological son. And that means Willy might be received the bad effects of his father's and step-family's actions.

Harry carefully aimed at Cleo's face.

"You're thinking about another man?"

Cleo spontaneously looked at him so quickly.

"How can you so accurately read my mind?"

Cleo shuddered. She was surprised but also amazed.

Steylla giggled at their joke and wanted to say goodbye.

"We'd better go back," Steylla looked at her brother.

"Okay. But how should we tackle the new simple problem? My manager just called me. He asked me to go to his office immediately. I really forgot our promise. But if you want to come back by using my car. It does not matter if I have to take a taxi."

Steylla already put on a sullen face.

"Is that a good idea? I think that is less great."

Steven released his laugh.

"Why do you feel bad for your own brother? Whereas I am who the person should feel guilty for not being able to keep my promise to take you wherever you want to go today."

Reihan held Steven's hand. The hand that wanted to hand over the car keys. And offered solutions.

"Let's make it like this. Because of today, I'm free. I'll replace Steven to drop you off. How about it?"

Steven frowned. Felt so unaccustomed when Reihan with good initiative offered his help. A stupid question, he asked it unintentionally.

"You want to be a kindness to take Steylla went?"

Reihan already nodded confidently.

Steven snapped his fingers.

"That is a great idea! Then, you better go with him." He said while looked at Steylla.

Steylla seems doubtful.

But Reihan had pulled her hand and asked her to leave. Steven followed them after saying goodbye to other people. And then, other men followed him.

Cleo narrowed her eyes.

Staring with heavy feelings and speaking curtly.

"What's with that your arms?"

Harry watched his hands tightly wrapped around Cleo's waist from behind. Deliberately put his hand on Cleo's back. Harry was acting so cool stand beside her.

"I just wanted to make sure you didn't fall."

Harry just wanted to admit that as a defense.

"Have you forgotten our agreement?"

Harry's face immediately tensed at the rebuke. Harry forced himself to let go of his grip.

Cleo waltzed leisurely out of the hospital door. Harry chased after her. Doing the same act and asked the driver to drive them went home.

They then arrived home shortly after that. Both of them stretched their bodies several times to relax.

Cleo turned out to have received an incoming message just as she was about to lie down on the sofa. Checked the message for a while and opening it. Cleo chose to sit up straight.

[ 'How are you today? ] – wrote Willy and his first short message.

Cleo frowned as she was about to reply.

Wanted to write, 'I'm good, How about you?'. But she canceled it. Because the message turned out to be there more than one. And Cleo read it right away.

[ 'Honestly, I've missed you so much. But I didn't dare to meet you because I already know a little of what they both, my father and stepsister, did to you. I will of course keep an eye on them, especially my stepsister so that something like that doesn't happen again. Are you alright?' ]

Cleo realized that Willy feeling guilty.

Then she realized that Willy would never have guessed that his family would do such reckless things. Harassing her and creating a commotion.

Another message continued under his second message.

[ 'I value our friendship over the years as much as you value it too. For now, I can't see you. Even help you because I have to follow my new family for a while.' ]

[ 'I will go see you again when the situation is conducive and safe. Also, tell your husband not to bully my family anymore. Because the punishment he gave was more than enough to make our relationship and family fate shattered. ]

[ 'I can't tell you about the details. What is clear is that I will keep a close watch on them and protect you from afar. Cleo, I hope you are happy. ]

That loving message touched Cleo deeply. Little did she know that Willy thought so much of her that he would do so much for her and even protect her from afar. And also had never met a friend so extraordinary as Willy.
