Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"Oke. As long as it doesn't become an obstacle and all my business here is done well. We'll be there," answer Harry made Cleo feel satisfied.

"Really?" Cleo asked and still has doubts.

Harry nodded.

"Yes. Besides, I can't let you have a hard time answering grandma's questions that will definitely check our vacation schedule right away. So consider this as your source of information, just in case she asks you. Starts memorizing it all. So, your holiday story is more convincing."

Harry explaining why he bothered to give Cleo a vacation just for the sake of his grandmother's reasons.

Cleo cheered and then nodded.

Showed readiness to receive any information that she will learn later. And no matter what reason Harry actually does it.

Cleo resumed her routine which had been delayed because Harry asked her for some attention.

Harry, who saw himself being ignored again, got up to leave Cleo.

Walked over to his bed and tried to sleep early because tomorrow early in the morning, Harry will be back at Petter's office to conduct a field inspection on all employees' holidays.

Harry said quietly in a lying position and closed his eyes.

"Don't forget to turn off the lights when you're done."

Cleo had fixed her eyes on Harry when he spoke. Staring at the man who had now pulled the blanket to sleep. Cleo walked towards the switch and turned off the light.

Left two small lights beside Harry's bed to light up.

Cleo took the blanket she used last night and slept in her sleeping position like yesterday. Yawned one or two times and started to close her eyes.

Opened her eyes again for the next few minutes. Then close it back.

Cleo failed to try to sleep.

It was still 9 o'clock in the evening and it was too early for her to fall asleep quickly. But tried to turn around to find the right sleeping position. Cleo still can't fall asleep just yet.

Cleo then turned around to look at Harry. Seeing the man so calm it was as if the dead man that couldn't move. Cleo looked at Harry with a special look.

'Is he used to this situation? Slept in the room with a woman and still feel comfortable? Truly a rare man who is rarely seen.'

But, because Cleo was not used to sleeping fast if she was not really tired or sleepy, or as full as yesterday. It's hard for Cleo to fall asleep in her true peace.

And Harry, who was still awake. Started to feel disturbed with uncomfortable voices from Cleo. Especially when he realized that Cleo kept staring at him with piercing eyes.

Harry was starting to feel tired.

"Are you going to keep looking at me and not going to sleep?" asked Harry in his low voice.

And Cleo could hear his muttering voice because the room was quiet.

"You're awake?" asked Cleo a little stuttered.

"How can I sleep if you keep looking at me like that?"

"But aren't your eyes closed?" asked Cleo back.

"Yes. But your gaze pierces me. Is there anything you want to say to me?" Quipped Harry.

Cleo shook her head.

But once she realized the movement of her head could not be seen by Harry because he still closed his eyes. Cleo hastily answered no.

"Then go to sleep and don't make any noise that disturbs my mind,"

Cleo decided to calm down.

"Ok, fine. Do not be angry! And I will sleep."

Two days in a row after that, Harry returned to busy with his busy routine in handling various important projects in this lion country.

Conducted various kinds of field observations with Petter and made modifications. Harry also holding important discussions regarding problems that may exist and needed to be resolved.

Plans many things for their future projects. And make sure all his work is done within the time he has set.

The two of them finally had time to go together.

Take a short walk in Merlion Park and take some photos. She was surprised when Harry agreed to take a group photo and looked cooperative.

Stop briefly at The Garden Bay and explain some history about that place. Harry turned out to be able to become a reliable tour guide.

Memorizing and understanding d all the places they visited.

"I like and feel comfortable with this place," said Cleo suddenly.

Harry smiled faintly.

And when night fell, they decided to have a meal together after a short walk around Orchard Road. Already bought souvenirs and witnessed street attractions.

Harry then pulled Cleo to go to a nearby coffee shop.

"You can be eating in this place?" Cleo asked, more like denial.

Harry looked at Cleo in confusion.

"Why? Because this place is less comfortable and clean?" asked Harry back.

Cleo continued to stare at Harry in disbelief.

"I didn't think that you could eat in this food stall," Cleo exclaimed in a half-whisper.

Because she was afraid that the stall owner could hear her words because their stall was not big enough to cover her volume voice.

Cleo was amazed by Harry's new habits.

Didn't Harry usually always eat in fancy places like star restaurants or something?

But why, he wanted to be invited by Cleo to eat at one of the small stalls on the outskirts of Orchard. Has his food taste changed?

Harry asked Cleo.

"Why? Is that strange?"

Pretending not to understand, and handed Cleo the cutlery he had cleaned.

"No. Just didn't think that far. And just found out, you can adapt anywhere and easily."

Harry replied casually.

"I'm used to eating in remote and even shabby places. As long as the food is delicious. I never bothered with the outside and the inside of the place. Then this restaurant is also very decent."

"So, you really can swallow that soup?" Cleo asked sarcastically and glanced at the cloudy chicken soup that Harry ordered.

Waited faithfully for Harry to spoon the soup into his mouth. And as if watching a show a food blogger tasted his food. Harry appeared like a commercial star promoting the food he touched in such a neat way, without having to do much movement.

It was enough just to eat a little and absorb it. And then, wetting his lips to drink the remaining soup that stuck to his lips. That man succeeded in making Cleo dumbfounded.

Wow!

Indeed already has become the man who has a handsome face from before the world was created!

Cleo gave a sarcastic look.

With just simple food and a simple atmosphere of the place, Harry was able to present the best visual effects like in comics or in an auditorium room!

Were there any problems with Cleo's eyes?

As if didn't believe it. Cleo even rubbed her eyes several times.

Ensured her eyesight once again.

Harry immediately flicking his finger in front of her.

Tik!

"You just fascinated by me?"  Harry asked with an evil smile. Cleo spontaneously raised her eyebrow.

"What did you say?" She asked in shock.

"I'm just asking you. Did you amazed by me?" asked Harry, repeating his words. And Cleo immediately chuckled.

"Save your high self-confidence. I'm not in awe of you! But being surprised because too shocked you can make me tickled. Let's to 'eat-in peace'!

Cleo suddenly remembered something.

"Btw, for my last shopping bag. I'll reimburse you. That item is not on the list of gifts for your family. So please, just separate the bill later. I deliberately bought it for Sinta, my junior at my old workplace. We planned to meet again in the next few days. So I want to gift her something," Cleo explained.

And Harry looked at her with his own thoughts. Then rejected her suggestion.

"No need. You just keep the money for yourself. After all, it's not expensive,"

Cleo didn't seem to agree with him too much.

"But it is an item I want to present for other people. How can I give a gift to my friend using your money? Doesn't that mean you gave the gift, and not me?" asked Cleo with questions and words that confused him.

Harry replied lightly.

"You alright. But, I don't really like having to take back the money that I gave to other people. then, don't you just have to say that gift came from you and not from me? After all, your friend won't know either!" said Harry confirming his own words.

Wasn't it that whoever paid for it, as long as she gave it directly. Then the person who was given will think that the one who gave it was the one who bought it? So why did it need to be complicated, even though the problem was quite easy?

This was the second time, Cleo refused Harry's gift. And Harry wasn't happy enough about it. At first, he only thought of prohibiting Cleo from using her money as she pleased because she hated women who always approached him just because of money.
