Chap. 10 Marry's Intention

It's been a week since April first set foot in this city. She was getting used to it all. It's excellent for April to be able to live in this city. The town that people say is the most romantic city on the planet. Not much bothered April, just a few days to match the food and weather. Other than that, she was already getting along well with the city.

Even on the 7th day here, April is already familiar with the employees at Logan's apartment. Gwinnett, the receptionist. Stacy, the housekeeping. And several other employees who, according to April, are friendly and pleasant.

This morning April woke up refreshed. Last night, she went to bed early to join Logan in painting at the exhibition in the middle of the city. According to Logan, his show will be visited by many local and foreign tourists, so it's an excellent opportunity to introduce his work and painting gallery. April, who has been an assistant in his painting gallery for two days, is invited by Logan to explain his paintings to visitors.

April washed her face and brushed her teeth, then baked two slices of bread and made a glass of milk. She took her to a table by the window.

"What a lovely morning scent," she said as she opened the window and took a deep breath.

April wanted to call her parents this morning. She took the gadget and called her mother. Her communication with her parents went smoothly. Almost every day, April takes the time to call her Daddy or Mommy to tell her about her daily life. And that made Shanon's thoughts on Logan change for the better. She was sure, in Paris. Her beloved daughter was well taken care of.

"Hello, April; how are you, honey?" Shanon immediately asked how she was.

"Oh my gosh, Mommy, let me speak first. Hahaha."

April's smile on the phone also put a smile on Logan's face. Logan, who had been watching her from outside the apartment since April, opened the window and had breakfast there.

"Yes, honey. Mommy misses you. Even though you called me yesterday morning."

"Yes, Mommy. I miss you too. Has Daddy left for work?" April asked.

"Yeah"

"Mommy never told Sean about me and Logan, did you?"

"No, honey. Mommy and Daddy never said anything. Sean was here yesterday and asked where you are. But we didn't tell him."

"Sean, search me to our house? What does he want?" April was still hoping Sean hadn't forgotten her.

"I don't know. He seems to miss you and Logan. You've been together since you were little, haven't you?"

"Hmm, yes, Mom. But I don't care about him anymore." April confirmed her voice.

"Yes, honey. Where are you going today, Beautiful?"

"I'm going to a painting show as Logan's assistant."

"It seems your life is quite interesting there?"

"Well, it made me realize. Life has to go on, and don't stick to one point. I've been so focused on Sean that I've neglected my life."

"Do what you like as long as you live happily. That's all Daddy and Mommy wish. Oh yeah, Mommy has something to do; we'll continue tomorrow, okay?"

"Bye, Mom."

"Bye, baby."

April finished her breakfast. She showered and got dressed in a Parisian chic style. One week there, she was able to adjust the type of dress for the Parisian women. In the lobby, Logan had already greeted her.

"Bonjour," said Logan.

"Have you forgotten morning, Logan? Hahaha."

"Morning?" Logan grimaced.

"Let's go."

"Let's go!"

The exhibition was already underway when they got there. Logan and April went to their stand and arranged equipment and some paintings for display.

"Keep it up, Log."

"You're so excited, ho… Apr." Logan almost called honey. 'Not so fast, Logan.' Logan thought to himself.

After the crowds of visitors, April began to be busy explaining Logan's paintings to visitors. Meanwhile, Logan was active in painting visitor orders.

Amid his busy schedule, a man greeted April.

"May I have your time, Miss?"

"Sorry, who are you?"

"I'm Benedict Ramos, modeling and advertising agency of Mois Entertainment. I'm interested in making you one of our models. I'm interested in your natural face, but it looks very photogenic."

Logan, who overheard their conversation, nodded, indicating that he agreed with the offer.

"Hi." Logan approached them. "I'm Logan, the Boss from April. By the way, she's my assistant. I allowed her to be a model at your agency. And for additional information, my assistant has done several photoshoots in New York." Logan convinced Benedict.

"A girl like you is what we are looking for, Miss April," said Benedict.

April put on a sour face and glared at Logan. Usually, the man is lying if she has done a photo shoot. But in her heart, she also wants to earn her income so she doesn't always depend on Logan. Also driven by her desire to try new things, April accepted Benedict's offer and agreed to become a part-time model.

"Thank you, Miss April, Mr. Logan. I look forward to seeing you at the studio tomorrow morning. Eight o'clock in the morning."

"No more and no less." Logan jumped right in.

"Fine, thank you. My assistant must be so pleased with your offer that she can't speak anymore. I'll make sure tomorrow she arrives on time." Logan teases April.

***

Meanwhile, right now. In the Johanson family mansion, New York City.

Sean's mother, Marry, has been suspicious of April's sudden disappearance for the past three days. Usually, in one week, April will visit their house, even if only to exchange news. Mary always looked forward to those things every week. She already felt comfortable with the girl.

With deep suspicion, Mary immediately met Sean in his office. She starts blaming Sean for April's disappearance.

"You've been too busy with Camila, so you don't have to pay attention to April. What now? She's out of touch and doesn't know where she is. Camila a matriarch who only wants your money. Insightful, stupid, only knows how to spend money. What are you doing? Stay with a woman like that, Sean? Open your eyes; April is so much better. A nerd is better than an artist who only wastes her money. You know, I didn't raise you to be stupid."

"Mom, I...."

On the ground floor, Camila wants to meet Sean on the sidelines of her busy schedule. They haven't seen each other for three days because they are both active. Unexpectedly, when she had just opened the door, she immediately saw Marry, Sean's mother. Mary, who couldn't control her words anymore, also scolded Camila.

"What are you doing here, you stupid woman?"

"I'm not stupid, Mrs. Johanson. Please keep your mouth shut."

"Then, are you smart? Tell me, who was the first president of the United States of America?" Camila was silent.

"April knows his name is George Washington, even though she knows his life history."

"Sean...." continued Mary.

"Mommy doesn't care anymore. If you don't end your relationship, you won't get all the inheritance. Your inheritance will be cut off and given to your cousin, Bryan. Mommy doesn't want this woman to enjoy the money of our family's hard work," Marry then pointed at Camila.

Mary then went out and slammed the door. She didn't come out; she listened to what her son would do after she got out. And she also wanted to know what Camila would do if she weren't there. Amy, who saw the incident, did not dare to ask Sean to sign the file. Sean and Camila were silent in the room and stared at each other; many questions were in their heads.

"So you want to take your Mommy's word and kick me off?"
