Something Unexpected
Alexandre was silent when he heard the exclamation from his papi, Mr. Henderson who wanted the marriage to be put to rest.
The two couples who didn't know each other could only throw their gazes at each other, they couldn't get into the hook on the relationship of paid lover status like Alexandre planned.
"Don't you mind, Clara. With this sudden marriage? What about your family, when can we visit him?"
Thump!
Clara swallowed her Saliva, a little surprised by Henderson's remarks. Given papi's still critical state in the ICU room. How did she tell the truth, if he approached Alexandre just because of the cost of the Daddy's coronation. That would probably be very embarrassing to her.
"Miss Clara?" called Mr. Henderson resuscitating the bewildered-looking Clara.
"Yes, I'm Sorry sir," he retorted reflexively, making everyone stare at him.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was reminded of something I had to work on. Can this marriage matter be discussed another day, sir?" said Clara again, correcting her remarks and attitude.
"What is this by indirectly rejecting my son's proposal?" asked Mr. Henderson repeatedly.
"No sir, there will not be a single woman who can resist this handsome and established son of yours, it's just that I need to believe myself in this pinangan. Because this is so shocking to me and my family. Give me some thought and prepare for a moment, I'll give you news on this proposal, sir," Clara retorted.
"Alright then Miss Clara, we'd be very happy if you're willing to be a part of this family."
"It's an honor for me sir, with this such a shocking proposal," Clara retorted again clasping tightly to alexandre's hand which was just silent letting Clara answer all of the papi's questions.
Clara smiled towards Alexandre, as her hand pressed hard against Alexandre's hand. Clara seemed to hide her awkwardness and annoyance towards Alexandre who hadn't talked about this.
Even when Clara asked Alexander in her car, Alexandre didn't answer her and told her about all this. Even Alexandre seemed to tell Clara to be quiet while in the car.
After spending a long time talking with the Hendersons, Clara said goodbye to go home to Alexander's parents.
Clara's heart was a little happy, seeing her family's welcome to her so kindly.
"Why don't you tell me about this?" asked Clara towards Alexander who was still silent next to her.
"About what? About this marriage? I will give you whatever you want, as long as you are willing to be my fake wife!"
"What? Fake marriage? I do need money for my Daddy's medical expenses, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be a paid wife! Is there no other choice?"
"Do you expect to be my real wife? Ha ha ha ha," Alexander pointed at him. "You are not my type, so stop dreaming! Making you a wife in that paper is already a fortune for you!" said Alexander which made Clara eager to claw at Alexander's face, for having dared to laugh at her.
"If it weren't for you Daddy, who asked to marry this arrogant man. I would never be willing, even if I was just sitting next to her," Clara said with a scowl, which was clearly heard in Alexander's ear.
"Your daddy, who are you really? Does the matchmaking bureau have a woman like you?" retorted Alexander asking by turning Clara's face before him.
"I'm not a woman from the matchmaking bureau, you have misunderstood. Is a man like you already unsold? Ha ha ha... you're looking for women through the matchmaking bureau ha ha ha ha," Clara laughed.
"I just wanted to talk to you at that time, but you pulled me violently into your car. Even you didn't give me permission to explain everything to you in the slightest," Clara added which left Alexander speechless.
"...," Alexander retorted.
"This is my house, do you want to go down first?" asked Clara who walked in First because she saw the noise of commotion again from inside her house.
"What the hell?!" glared at Clara, who saw the servants crying as a result of the thugs who had arrived at that time.
"You guys again! Haven't you guys already brought my car and a few other cars from this house? I guess That's enough to pay off all my Daddy owes you!" said Clara loudly yelling at the thugs who were just yelling at them.
"I'm asking you guys out!" chirped Clara again.
"Hi miss, what We brought is not enough to pay for any loss that your Daddy did, it is completely meaningless. Do you know? You have to get out of this house, Miss!" threatened the thugs.
"What do you guys mean anyway?" asked Clara again, as one of the men showed Daddy's letter of agreement with the thugs' boss.
"I can't believe this," Clara still said with her tears.
"Let's take it all out!" one of them ordered throwing all of Clara's clothes outwards.
"Haaaaa haaaa...." Clara's moaning of tears spawned.
"What's this all about?" asked Alexander which left the thugs speechless after seeing Alexander who was standing behind Clara's body.
"You're okay, Clara?" asked Alexander, stretching out his hand, making Clara take Alexandre's hand.
While Alexander was still looking at Clara who was standing opposite him. "I'm sorry, I really don't deserve you Haaa haaaaa," Clara said, bowing her head in front of Alexander.
"You guys get out!" groaned Alexander as the thugs scattered away leaving Clara's residence.
"Am I allowed to come in?" asked Alexander softly towards Clara.
Clara also invited Alexander to sit in the living room, while Alexander's eyes stared at the photo attached to the wall.
"Where is it now, Mr. Thomas, are you the daughter he once referred to me?"
Alexandre looked at Clara's eyes shaken by mixed fear and anger. The girl was so weak, and was shocked by what had just happened to her heart... he felt very insecure. Tears flowed freely from both of Clara's eyes.
"Daddy...," she called, making Thomas shut up.
