Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Cleo has promised to meet with Steylla to discuss some things in detail about what they were need in cooperation today. Planning on using Steylla as an ambassador or visually beautiful mascot of Cleo's future bakery.

They then met at a cafe not too far away. it was a quite crowded place. But that place was quite peaceful to discuss important things together. After Steylla's open offer, Cleo accepted it happily and excitedly.

Then, as she had imagined all along. Steylla looked very attractive on this day with a knee-length apricot knit dress and a soft blue semi-jeans jacket. Wearing high black pointed heels and beautiful flowing hair. Steylla waved her hand at Cleo as she arrived and smiled sweetly.

Attracted the attention of several men who passed by and were slightly stunned. Steylla walked confidently towards Cleo..

This show didn't stop Cleo from complaining a little in annoyance.

"So beautiful, sweet, and shining! So, how can there be such a beautiful woman like her in this world and she still hasn't shown her lover wherever she goes?"

Cleo spoke while waiting for Steylla to walk gracefully to their table. Supports her chin and face on her right hand. Harry followed Cleo's gaze and watched Steylla. So, maybe Harry was the only one who wasn't moved by Steylla's beauty that was like a model.

Ah, Steylla's job is modeling. Even though she only did it as a hobby and she didn't take it too seriously. But all the perfection of a model she has managed to have in an impressive way.

Harry turned instead, more interested in seeing the face of his wife who was standing in front of him like worshiping a goddess. Harry had a unique mind.

"Vice versa. I don't understand you. Can you still envy her when you even have me?" Harry idly propped his face on the hand that he placed on the table just the same as Cleo. He looked at her casually and looked Cleo straight in the eye.

"Whereas, I think. You are much better than her. And there's no need to envy her. When in my eyes, you are already much better than any woman in this world."

Cloe almost choked on her own saliva. Surprised when Harry could still whisper magic words beside her with a super serious face.

Cleo immediately straightened her body. Glancing at Harry slightly pouted because he was so embarrassed to hear Harry's complement which was either genuine or Harry's intention to make fun of her.

Steylla arrived just then. So, Cleo shifted her attention from Harry to her quickly.

"Sorry make you wait, pretty. And hello, bro! Glad to see Brother Harry is present in this discussion. Though, I thought it was just the two of us who would have a casual meeting!"

Cleo returned Steylla's greeting brightly.

"Hey, Stey! Let's sit next to me. And order any drink you want."

Cleo invited Steylla to sit in the empty chair to her left. When Harry was sitting in the chair beside her right. Then handed her a menu book to let Steylla choose what drink she wanted.

Harry immediately found something wrong when he saw Steylla coming alone.

"Where's Steven? He's not coming with you?" asked Harry finally after seeing Steylla sitting down and picking up the menu book.

"Steven is parking his car in the basement. And I asked him to drop me off first in front of the lobby. But, why do I see you guys looking a little different today?"

Cleo and Harry looked at each other. Observing each other after receiving a curious gaze from Steylla. Cleo was the first to respond.

"We're...different? Indeed, what's different?"

Steylla was deep in thought as she watched the two of them.

"You guys look happier. And I just saw your compactness today. So look, your clothes are like couple outfits."

Cleo and Harry had just finally noticed the clothes they were wearing today. A tasseled dress made of mustard-colored chiffon with a light stripe pattern. Harry was also wearing a striped mustard t-shirt with a white coat and white sneakers.

The color of their clothes looks so matched like a couple. So it was not without reason that Steylla conveyed all of her statements just now. So that a bright smile appeared on Steylla's face who finally decided to give up.

"Okay. I understand and I can know very well what your goals are. That you two wanted to show your affection in public and then make many pairs of eyes jealous."

Cleo and Harry didn't stop staring at each other using some code that only the two of them could possibly understand.

'Do you want to let her misunderstand? Or, you don't want to say something?'

Harry instead ignored a certain code that Cleo had sent him.

Steven came just at that moment. He walked handsomely to their table. To adding some gazes full of interest present from the several visitors present. Cleo noticed that attention quickly and pretended not to feel it.

Even though she felt like an ugly girl between the prince and princess of the king. Cleo was still looking to accept Steven's polite hand.

"Nice to see you today, Lady. And as usual, you are always beautiful, my Lady!"

Harry pushed Steven's hand away and took Cleo's hand away from him.

"Greet as normal and there's no need to use your old habits to greet my wife."

Those words were spat out by Harry quite calmly. But his tone was so satirizing. As if that was the first and last warning.

Steven responded casually. Sit in an empty chair without asking for permission or being asked. Steven displayed a light smirk from his thin lips.

"I'm also pleased to meet you, Mr. Steven. And thank you for your compliments and your presence."

Cleo must have been blessed by the goddess of luck because she was constantly given the opportunity to make her dreams come true.

Then, of course. She should be more grateful to the figure of Harry who has been willing to prepare all kinds of things for her.

Steven immediately corrected Cleo's words seriously.

"Don't call me too formal, Sweet Lady. Just call me Steven. Or Steve. As usual that Harry called me. Then, because you are my best friend's wife. So, you are my friend too. Thus, get rid of all that rigid language. Okay?!"

Cleo smiled faintly.

"Okay by pleasure. Then, it's a great honor to be friends with a famous artist like you. However,"

Cleo then turned to Steylla.

"What's wrong with your mood, Stey? Are you having a problem? Why is your face a little gloomy and not as bright as usual?"

The two men around them then turned to Steylla.

"You have a problem? And you want your brother to deal with it?" Steven quickly acts as a good big brother.

Steylla hastily shook her head.

"Not like that. It's just, I might be in a not-so-fit condition?" Steylla confused herself looking for the right answer. And hope that the tone of doubt in her words was not read by anyone.

Cleo actually felt bad.

"You're not fit? Then, why don't you just cancel our meeting?! You should give me that reason and rest."

Stella widened her smile.

"Well. For now, I'm still fine. So don't worry about me. Then, shouldn't we start our discussion before it gets late and we won't get any results?"

Harry immediately put on a serious face and took out his documents. The document which he had prepared carefully to help Cleo coordinate the entire hiring process for Steylla and Steven as a visual of their product.

The conversation went on for quite a while. Until without realizing it, they had agreed on a lot of new ideas and agreements together.
