A Bet

"You're so smart to ask for that when there's my father and mother." Alexandre spoke with a sharp glance to Clara. 

"You don't allow it. I need it for myself. If I don't go to college, what will I be?" 

Clara affirmed her sentence. She was in the garden of Alexandre's house, the night that looked calm was in fact not as calm as she thought. 

"It's better to just take business or economics. What did you go to design college like that for? Just wasting time, Clara." 

Alexandre's remarks hurt Clara deeply. She looked at Alexandre with a weak look in his eyes. For a businessman like Alexandre, of course, being a designer is definitely not more profitable than him. But.. Clara felt like she couldn't just let go, Clara lowered her head and looked sad. 

"everyone has their own desires and goals... I shouldn't be allowed to look down on others like this. I know that you're a great guy… But I'm not that devastating..." 

Clara walked faster to get inside the Henderson family home, she couldn't afford to talk and Alexandre again every time the man opened his mouth only the pain she gave. This marriage alone was a forced marriage until now she still imagines the face of her old boyfriend—Cavin. It had been quite a while that she hadn't heard from him which made Clara feel hurt by the actions from Cavin.

If it were Cavin, he would eagerly support kelar to become an excellent designer, he also often asked Clara to design clothes for him. Clara felt that Cavin was cherishing her dream. When Clara had walked into her house, she accidentally ran into Zara again. 

"Dear, did something else happen to the child?" asked Zara very softly. Clara shook her head, she couldn't make Alexandre even get angry by her mother. It could be that the job has become more difficult or the salary does not come out at all. She needed money for his father's health and also lived a stable life. In reality she is a spoiled child who was raised with always fulfilling needs, so she felt that she could not live without money.

"Mother, I'm so happy to be a part of the Henderson family. I didn't expect that I, who is an ordinary person, would be welcome here..." 

Zara took Clara to sit down on the sofa and kept looking at her. 

"I know who your family is, Clara. You're not just an ordinary person and also our family always accepts people who are worthy of our opinion. Compared to the wife of Boy, you are better. Not even trying to suck up our wealth like himself." 

Clara held back her small smile, it's hard to tell the truth she also sucked the wealth from this family, this fake marriage was done because of her desire to be able to protect her daddy as well as herself. 

She was so shameless. 

"You must feel confused facing Alexandre, since childhood he did have a dominant stubbornness. but just trust the mother, the man when letting others interfere in his affairs means he believes in the person."

I don't know, Clara really doesn't know. Sometimes that Alexandre behaved very uncertainly like a ship hit by very high waves, sometimes he went left sometimes he went right which made the situation more troublesome for Clara. 

"That's it. It seems that he is looking for you immediately Clara." Zara whispered in Clara's ear making the little ear red. She kept staring at Alexandre even though Zara had left them both behind. 

"you're still just looking like a kid, if you don't like something you just leave it behind." 

Clara's face was immediately sullen at that. She didn't want to listen to this kind of lecture, just making her ears hurt. When Clara stood up and tried to escape, Alexandre immediately caught her hand. 

"I haven't finished talking yet.." 

Clara was silent, she immediately obeyed Alexandre as to what she was going to talk about. Alexandre holding both cheeks made Clara look towards her.

"If you really want to be a designer, you have to break through the international market in a year, I don't like something wasted so you have to show yourself that you are a great figure." 

Clara's eyes rounded, she kept looking at Alexandre whose eyes were without the slightest shake.

"O-one year?" Clara asked, surprised. She is indeed a designer, But 1 year's time to break through the international market let alone a catwalk is a very difficult thing. 

"You want to give up? Then just stop the design lecture. It's useless, right." Alexandre let go of a hand towards and she behaved casually in response to Clara's wishes which turned out to be not strong.

Forbidden to swallow her saliva, she clasped her own hand firmly then answered the remark from Alexandre. 

"Of course I will prove it to you if I am capable, I will make you praise me many times for that very great ability of mine." Clara peeled her hair smugly, looked at her hands folded together and showed that she was a brave woman.

Alexandre looked at it with a smile on his face. Clara's actions had made hi, so happy.

"Well I'll wait then. that's how the world works, If you really want to be rewarded you have to prove your own ability."

"Yes, you're so fussy." Clara shook her head and took her breath vigorously. This is really incredible to make her excited. 

Although she managed to survive Alexandre's help, she did not want to hang her fate forever on this cruel man. She smiled broadly at the thought of her bright future.

Surprisingly, Alexandre was also pleased with Clara's attitude, she felt that the woman would be able to prove herself. as Clara looked in her direction, she hurriedly instantly removed the smile on her face and cast a cold look at Clara.

"You'll sleep on the sofa later, huh." Clara pointed casually. Because today they are going to live in this house, they have to sleep in the same room so as not to be suspected. 

"Of course it's not me but you. I am your boss." 

Clara's face was sour, yes she was familiar with that and walked over with her face bent.
