Then Made It, She Would Sign

"I mean, it will be just pretending. I also will not possibly leave Lucy. I will marry her though it's not now," said Edric, making an offer to Irene.

She smiled wryly.

 "Ahhh Alright…then, I want Dorian's house and everything in it, including all your maids."

 Irene also made an offer,

 "...." And Edric felt silent,

 "Well, forget it! I will only meet your mother once," said Irene who had stepped back.

 She smiled gently when she saw Chaiden sitting in a chair beside the cafe door, waiting for her.

 Meanwhile the cafe customers also seemed to be standing outside because the cafe had been specially booked, so that Edric could talk alone with Irene.

 "Okay," Edric agreed, "Then stop walking! There's still something I want to talk to you about," said Edric as he quickly ran after Irene and forced the woman's body to turn, looking at him.

 "What's else? You've wasted a lot of my time and there's nothing more to talk about. Do you not see many people outside this cafe? Come on, Edric, just end this talking!"  asked Irene who had removed both of Edric's hands from her upper arms.

 "You don't look serious about this agreement, Irene. How about the contract? How about the deal? I don't see you really agreeing to my request," replied Edric, looking like he was holding back his emotions,

 "You just need to make a contract and I sign it, right? That's enough, we don't need to talk about Deal and Contract before they are made," replied Irene, starting to turn back.

 She left Edric who seemed to be standing, staring at her back in awe.

 Meanwhile, Chaiden had been waiting for Irene to come out of the cafe.  He looked at her with an annoyed expression on his face.

 "Sorry!"

 "What are you both talking about? Why does it take so much time?"  Chaiden asked the woman who seemed to be smiling gently at him.

 "I just need to visit his mother who is sick. That's all, nothing else," answered Irene at the same time as the cafe visitors who had entered.

 "I don't believe in you,"

 "Oh shit!"  Irene cursed guiltily, "Why don't you believe in me? I'm your best friend. Even though you keep in touch with other women I'm still by your side but why don't you trust me who's always with you?"

 Irene spoke in a high tone, she stepped after Chaiden who had gone first.

 "Bullshit!"

 "Come on, Dude, don't be so rude to me!"  asked Irene who had approached Chaiden and then took the man's backpack.

It made Chaiden stop in his steps.

 "Give that bag!

 "The data I need was in this bag, right?"  Irene asked with a cheerful smile,

 "No, I will not give the result to you. Just do the data you need by yourself!"  Chaiden said angrily, he pulled his bag forcibly and stepped back.

 "I promise after I meet his mother and complete his request, I will stop teaching and meet your parents!"  said Irene,

 It made Chaiden startled and stopped his footsteps.

 "Really?!"

 "I never break my promise, I'm not you," said Irene, confirming her words.

 "Then, come here and hug me!"  Chaiden ordered who seemed to be standing next to a tree, on the side of the highway.

He smiled happily

 "Damn this dude!"  said Irene while smiling gently and then walked quickly,

 "Promise me!"  And hugged Chaiden.

 "I promise you."  Then she answered the man's request.

 "It's weird to see a woman who will marry me hugging another man," said a male voice standing behind Irene.

 And Chaiden let go of the hug for the woman.

 "Hmm… ridiculous!"  said Chaiden smiling wryly,

 "Tsk, didn't you say it was just pretend? I won't marry you either, so stop saying such disgusting things!"  said Irene curtly,

 "So what he said was true?!"  Chaiden asked Irene,

 "No, it'll be just pretending," replied Irene, then she was stunned when she saw Chaiden's eyes were red.  "I… I'll explain you,"

 "No need!"  Chaiden answered and he started to walk away from Irene.

 "Chaiden… Akhhh!"  Then, when Irene wanted to chase after him, Edric had grabbed the woman's hand, "Do you think what are you doing? Let me go!"  said Irene in an emotion tone,

 She tried to free Edric's hand from her arm.

 "Visit my mother! I need you now," said Edric, he seemed to force Irene to get into the car whose door had been opened.

 "W– W– Wait! I still have class this time!"  Irene refused, but her strength was not strong enough to escape from Edric's hand and the woman's body was thrown into the car,

 "Damn you!"  Irene snapped in annoyance, "Open this door!"

 But Edric ignored her.  The man seemed to go inside and sat next to Irene who seemed to be trying to open the car door,

 "Edric!"  Irene shouted loudly in Edric's ear, but the man only tilted his head for a moment, then he looked ahead calmly.

 And sometimes, he smiled slyly.
