Chapter 21 - Theatrical In The Boutique
During the day, Bryana takes Dean to a famous boutique that sells clothes specifically for men. The woman intends to find a tuxedo suit for the bodyguard who will be her partner at her best friend's wedding which will be held tomorrow night.
In a luxurious boutique with glass walls that divide several rooms to separate the different types of clothes on display, Bryana takes Dean to the types section that provides a wide variety of tuxedos.
"Jill, why we are here?" asked Dean with a frown.
"Of course I have to buy cool clothes for you tomorrow, Dean. There's no way I'll take you as a partner but you wear bodyguards or t-shirts like this," Bryana explained, choosing the tuxedo that fits Dean. She took one of the tuxedos and attached it to Dean's body, then returned to the clothes hanger again and chose again.
While following Bryana, Dean touched one of the tuxedos that caught his eye. but when he saw the bandrol hanging on the tuxedo collar, he shook his head to swallow his saliva.
"Jill, it's better not to buy clothes for me, they're really expensive and I'd better just wear my tuxedo coincidentally, I have one at home, "said Dean with an uncomfortable look.
Bryana sighed and glanced at Dean who was too concerned about the price, but she did not heed the words of her bodyguard and instead chose one of the luxurious tuxedos in plain black color.
"Try wearing this, it looks like it suits you," Bryana exclaimed as she gave the tuxedo to Dean.
"Jill, this must be expensive. I won't even be able to afford it with my salary," Dean said after glancing at the price tag for the tuxedo.
"I'll buy it for you, not you pay it. Just put it on, I'll wait here," Bryana exclaimed, pushing Dean toward the dressing room which is located near the back door of the boutique.
Dean let out a rough breath and immediately went into the changing room. he took off his clothes then changed into a tuxedo suit.
Outside, Bryana was waiting while choosing another tux, she thought it might be the tuxedo that just wasn't right for Dean.
"Bryana," a man called Bryana.
Bryana immediately turned her head to look for the source of the voice that called her and she looked lazily at the person. 'Alex. What did I dream of last night? Until I have to meet him here. '
"We have to talk important, Bryana," said Alex as he approached Bryana, who immediately looked away.
"What do you want talking about, do you want to plan on kidnapping Calvin again, huh?" Bryana asked angrily.
"Bryana, he's my son, I have the right to take him. And don't say I kidnapped him because I have rights over him!" Alex confirmed without the slightest guilt.
Bryana smiled faintly then looked at Alex. "Just so you know, because of your stupid people, Calvin got hurt. And remember that I will not give it to you to foster with your dark lover!"
"Bryana, I deserve to meet him! You can't stop a father from seeing his son!"Alex remained adamant, then a woman who looked like she was pregnant walked over to him.
"Honey," said the woman.
Bryana rolled her eyes as if staring lazily at the woman and she chose to look away.
"Wait a minute, honey, I have to talk to this arrogant woman," said Alex to the woman who might have become his wife.
"I will not remain silent, soon Calvin's custody will fall into my hands. I will make the judge choose to give custody of Calvin to me!" said Alex firmly, pointing at Bryana's face.
"Oh, just do it if you can. the judge won't give that decision because you're not a good father," Bryana challenged, glaring at Alex.
"Custody will still fall to me because you will only be busy working without having time to take care of him." Alex approached the woman and hugged her from the side. "And I have a wife who can be mother Calvin. She will have more time and care for Calvin than you!"
.Bryana stares hatefully at Alex, who is so arrogant showing off his new wife who was an affair when he was still Bryana's husband. 'Your wife isn't even prettier than me' he thought irritably.
"Just do all your efforts, I will keep Calvin to stay with me and will not be taken care of by your ugly wife!"
"Watch your words, damn it!"
Dean, who was already wearing Bryana's choice of tuxedo, immediately came out of the locker room and approached Bryana.
"Jill, what do you think ..." Dean's words stopped when he saw a man with a woman raising his hand about to slap Bryana.
Dean immediately pushed Alex who almost slapped Bryana. "If your hand hits her face, I'll crush your bone right now!"
Alex, who almost collapsed among the many hanging tuxedo coats, looked at Dean in surprise. Maybe he was curious because he had never met Dean before.
"Don't get in my problem, damn it!" exclaimed Alex growlingly clenching his fists.
"If you bother her, then it will be my problem," replied Dean sternly and his sharp eyes glinted with hatred because he hated seeing a man about to use his hand to hurt a woman.
Alex smiled sarcastically at Dean. "Who are you, don't pretend to be defending this arrogant woman!"
Bryana stares hatefully at Alex who always says she is an arrogant woman. she immediately took Dean's hand and said, "he is my future husband and you will not be able to take Calvin away from me because I will already have a husband who deserves to be Calvin's new father."
Dean paused to glance at Bryana, who claimed to be his future wife. 'is this a dream he thought as he glanced at Bryana's smooth hand curled around him.
"Oh, so you already have a future husband? Hopefully, your future husband will not be humiliated by your family so that he has no intention of canceling his marriage to you," said Alex in a sarcastic tone.
Bryana is getting furious because Alex is starting to bring up the past. "Alex, actually no one looks down on you. And for your information, we got divorced because you started the fire of the affair with this damn woman!"
"Still your family and you are arrogant!"
"Do not say carelessly my future wife is very good and I am the luckiest man to get it. You will regret choosing to be uncertain with a woman who is not prettier than her. "This time Dean joined in the conversation while touching Bryana's hand that was wrapped around his arms. he seemed to enjoy the play that got him on the call and could call out "love" to Bryana. it seemed to represent the innermost of his heart.
"Honey, we better get out of here. I'm going to get sick if I stay close to them," said Bryana as she pulled Dean to meet a boutique owner who was serving other buyers.
Alex stared at Bryana and Dean's departure with hatred. He clenched his fists as if to punch Bryana.
"Are you jealous?" asked the woman beside Alex.
"Of course not, why am I jealous of that arrogant woman? We'd better look elsewhere for clothes." Alex immediately asked the woman out of the boutique, because he did not want to see the intimacy of Bryana and Dean.
Bryana, who was still holding Dean's hand, walked over to the boutique owner who was immediately fascinated by Dean's good looks.
"Gosh, Bryana. Is he your future husband?" asked the boutique owner in a tone of admiration.
Bryana smiled stiffly and glanced at Dean who immediately scratched his hair, which was not itchy.
'This is a play that's misunderstood for everyone,' Bryana thought as she massaged her forehead.
"I ... I have to take my clothes in the dressing room because this doesn't necessarily fit," said Dean nervously, because he was nervous about his position which is currently so close to Bryana. for him, this play was over. Because Alex was gone. but Bryana was still holding onto his arm, making him break out in cold sweat and flutter.
Bryana smiled stiffly and tightened her hand grip on Dean then glanced at the boutique owner. "Tania, please find a suitable suit for my future husband, because he has a quite high taste," she exclaimed.
Okay, it turns out that the play is still going on. Then who benefits? Dean or Bryana? Or do they like it when they are close together like that?
"Jill, they'll get the wrong idea even more," whispered Dean.
Bryana just ignored Dean's whisper because the boutique owner was talking to her.
"All right, Bryana, I'll find a suitable one for your handsome future husband.. I happen to have a new collection with ORIGINAL quality," said Tania with a confident smile and then walked to another room.
