 "This is all because of you! You little kid!" Cristian exclaimed, looking at Selena's face. He quickly came out of the bathroom.

  Selena stared at the man's back with narrowed eyes.

  "Cristian! Watch out! He always insults me!" cursed Selena angrily.

  "Damn it! I'm so ashamed of Lucas. He looked at me and Cristian as if we were taking a bath together. Shit! This really makes me furious," Selena said with annoyance.

  In the morning Selena and Cristian went to the most expensive boutique in town. It was a spacious boutique with many luxurious clothes on display. Selena's eyes never ceased to widen in amazement at the beautiful clothes.

  "Please behave like a rich person. You don't have to stare and gape like that when you see what's here," Cristian whispered.

  "Oh, okay. I'll try," Selena said, looking down in shame.

  Now they were in front of a large wardrobe with black dresses. Cristian looked at the beautiful dress with a tilt of his face. Then he looked at Selena. He thought the dress would look beautiful on Selena.

  Selena looked awkward because Cristian was watching her. She looked down in embarrassment.

  "Waitress?" called Cristian, waving his hand. Now the waitress in a neat uniform came over with a big smile.

  "Mr. Cristian, how can I help you?"

  This waitress had known Cristian since he was in middle school. Because Cristian often shopped at this expensive boutique.

  "I want you to change this girl. I mean make her like a queen. Do you understand what I mean? Because she is my fiancée. She and I are going to my father's retirement party," Cristian said clearly.

  "I think this black dress is perfect for Selena," said Cristian.

  "I will do as you wish, sir. Please wait there," said the waiter politely. Now Cristian sat in a special place while Selena just followed the waiter from behind.

  "You are very lucky to be the fiancée of Mr. Cristian," said the woman in the servant's uniform with a sparkling face.

"Thank you for your compliment," Selena said with a fake smile.

  "Now, you try this on," said the waitress, handing her a black dress.

  "Should I try it on?" Selena asked hesitantly. Because she had never worn a dress with fancy knick-knacks.

  "Of course you should try this dress on. Let me help you. Let's go quickly into the dressing room," said the waiter.

  The black dress fit Selena perfectly. It looked elegant and luxurious. But actually she was very uncomfortable at the chest. It was too revealing. There were also no sleeves at all.

  "Will I be cold if I wear this to the party? I'm so scared," Selena said softly.

  "If you get cold you'll have to endure it. Because at the party there must also be many women who wear luxurious clothes like this," said the waiter making Selena silent.

  After the dress has been selected. Now Selena looked in the mirror. She looked at her face which was no longer wrinkled. The wrinkled face after working at the bar was now gone. Because now she can rest quite a lot.

  "Turns out being a fake wife isn't so bad. It's even very beneficial for me," Selena said in her heart.

. Now the make-up artist began to carefully apply Selena's makeup. This makeup artist was very chatty. Always asking Selena about many things.

  "So how did you meet that handsome young master Cristian? Gosh I'm so curious," said the woman in the boutique uniform.

  "Sorry, you don't need to know that. It's better you don't talk. I want good results," Selena said firmly. She had to do that because she didn't know what to say about her relationship with Cristian. Because Cristian never told me about the story of me and him meeting.

  Now the make-up artist's face turned lackluster. Because Selena was being arrogant and gave the impression that Selena was a wealthy woman who didn't want to be bothered by the lower middle class.

  "Oh my gosh, my face has become so beautiful," Selena exclaimed looking at her face while holding her cheeks. She didn't expect that after hours of makeup. Finally the results were amazing.

"I'm like an actress already," said Selena smiling broadly in front of the mirror.

  "Mrs. Selena, wait here. I'll call Mr. Cristian," said the servant as he quickly left.

  "Oh my God, why is my heart pounding like this? Surely Cristian will make fun of me if I'm ugly," Selena said in her heart.

  Now there was Cristian standing upright looking at Selena's face in the mirror. He was right behind Selena.

  "Stand up Selena," Cristian said firmly.

  "All right dear, I'll stand up," Selena said softly. It was one of her acts. Yes, she had to be romantic in public, didn't she?

  Hearing the word darling from Selena's mouth. Cristian's face changed for a few seconds. From annoyed to pretending to smile.

  "Wow! Fantastic! You look so beautiful, dear," said Cristian, caressing Selena's cheek.

  "You two are very compatible, my goodness you two are also very romantic," said the waitress in amazement at the couple in front of her.

  Now it was nighttime. They had arrived at a large building. While from the courtyard in front of it. It was filled with luxury cars. There were also so many greeting flowers. Mr. Mark was so serious about planning his retirement party to be this luxurious.

  "There will be many people who will see you inside. So I expect you to behave like a rich person. Just tell them that you're in the global content creator business. You wrote a book of world-famous novels. You're a ghost writer. If they ask you a question that you can't answer. You just need to pretend to hold my back from behind. We should always be together. We have to be intimate in public," Cristian explained firmly.

  Selena exhaled and closed her eyes for a moment. She hoped it would be all right at the party.

  Now the two of them entered the party area. The guests' eyes were on the fake lovers. Selena in a black dress with long wavy hair while Cristian with his stride and firm chin looked so handsome.

  Selena's hand was wrapped around Cristian's arm. Selena is very good at acting. She imagined that she was in a movie.

  Some of the guests offered their hands to shake Cristian's. Cristian also introduced Selena to them.

 "My God, you're so good at choosing a wife. She's very beautiful," praised a middle-aged woman in a red dress.

  "Thank you for your compliment, auntie. I am indeed good at finding women to be my wife," Cristian said with a big smile.

  "Auntie, you are also very beautiful in a red dress. You look younger," Selena complimented the woman familiarly.

"Alright dear, let's walk to my father," Cristian said gently.

  "Bring Selena to my house, Cristian," said Aunt Stevani kindly.

  "Of course, auntie. When we get married. We will definitely visit your house. In the meantime, we are busy planning our wedding," Cristian said pretentiously.

  Cristian and Selena walked to the big stage in front of them. Selena was very nervous. She didn't expect to lie to an old man who was Cristian's father.

  "Oh my God, I'm sorry I had to lie to everyone. It's because I have to pay a debt to the lender," Selena said in her heart.

  "Cristian is my easiest son. You finally have a fiancé," said his father, spreading his arms and hugging his son proudly.

  The man in the black suit stroked his father's back several times. Afterward, they shared a brief smile.

  "Dad, it's because of your prayers for me. So that I can get a beautiful girl like Selena," Cristian exclaimed proudly looking at the beautiful girl in Black next to him.

  "Selena is a good name for a beautiful girl like you," said Mr. Mark, smiling sweetly at Selena.

  The two embraced for a moment.

  "I am very happy to be able to get a child from a very honorable great lord," Selena said kindly.

  "Oh you have to call me father. Because later you will become my daughter-in-law," said Mark with a proud smile.

  Suddenly Selena's eyes caught a curly-haired girl wearing a servant's uniform. The girl was carrying a tray containing several glasses of drink.

  "Damn! Why is Lili at this party?" Lili and Selena's eyes met in shock.

  "Oh my God, she saw me. " Selena said in her heart in a panic.

  She quickly removed her hand from Cristian's arm and turned around and left at a fast pace.

  "Hey! Honey, where are you going?" Cristian's voice rang clearly in Selena's ears.
