Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 31

"What? Twelve million .. seven hundred? " Cleo stares in disbelief when a cashier mentioned a very fantastic amount to pay for an unexpected lunch. She glanced at the cashier doubtfully.
"Are you sure you counted it correctly?" Cleo asked, hoping that the cashier had miscalculated the amount of her bill.
"Yes, Madame. The total is 12,785,000IDR. You can check it again before paying," TheThe friendly cashier handed Cleo a receipt. Cleo could only look at it helplessly.
How can she check it, if she didn't even understand the names of the food on the receipt?
There were about eight people ordering food. And she didn't know what they ordered. So how did she know which food was right on the table? She didn't even know the price of each menu!!
Wasn't this a star restaurant with all kinds of food menus that have strange names and were very unusual for Cleo to hear? Cleo didn't even order anything and asked grandmother to order it.
So how can Cleo be able to check all the receipts properly?
Today, because suddenly Harry's grandmother asked her to go out and have lunch together, Cleo, who at first thought that she would only be invited to eat alone with Mrs. Sofia, or at least the possibility of them having three meals with Daniar who might also be invited.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Sofia would even invite all of her close friends to join in for a meal together without Daniar!
It didn't matter. But what became the problem was that suddenly when almost everyone had finished with their meal, Mrs. Sofia suddenly said something to Cleo.
"Cleo, my dear. Please pay for this food first," Mrs. Sofia whispered softly as she smiled a smile, which according to Cleo didn't look cute at all. On the contrary, it was deadly.

What? I'll pay ??
As if there was the sound of brain cells breaking. Pushh .. !! Cleo couldn't help but panic.
She cursed silently. She looked at Mrs. Sofia doubtfully then gave up. While walking towards the cashier, Cleo muttered quietly several times in her heart.
'Why do I feel like something is wrong here? Wasn't it Grandma who asked me out? And isn't it grandma who has more money than me? And most importantly of all, aren't they all grandma's friends ?? Why do I feel like something isn't right in this case?'
'Oh, God! How much do all this food roughly cost?' Cleo bit her lower lip nervously.
And sure enough! The amount charged was beyond expectations. Cleo even had to ask the cashier to double-check it because she didn't believe it.
But instead of recounting it, the female cashier asked Cleo to double check it herself. Really made a headache.
Luckily, today she brought Harry's credit card that Dirga gave her yesterday. If not, Cleo will cry madly because she had to spend 3 months of her salary as long as she used to work, only for one meal, for one family. A family that wasn't her family!
Extraordinary!!
"Use this," Cleo exclaimed, reluctantly handing over Harry's CC card.
Even though she knew that the card was not hers, Cleo felt it was hard enough to hand over the credit card to the cashier. However Dirga had advised her to use the card as best and wisely as possible.
Now the situation was urgent. For the needs of his own grandmother, Cleo believed Harry will not possibly protest. Wasn't this a wise move?
So because of that, Harry couldn't possibly be angry, right?
"Thank you Madam. This is your card," After finished swiping Cleo's card at the payment machine, the cashier returned Cleo's card.

Cleo immediately took it and smiled.
"You're welcome," She exclaimed as she walked away and returned to the crowd of people who were with het earlier.

"Grandma, I already paid for it. Are we going straight home?" Cleo asked Mrs. Sofia when she returned.
"Of course not, my dear. It's still too early. I want you to accompany me on another trip. We will go to our next destination," Mrs. Sofia replied, smiling happily.
She walked out of the restaurant followed by her other friends.
At first everyone walked out simultaneously. But, because there were still some things that other friends of grandma had to do, all of Grandma's friends chosen to go home first.
Until finally, Cleo and Sofia were left alone in the car with their private driver. They went to a shopping center in the city center that was near the restaurant where they ate earlier.
"Cleo .. look! Isn't this rock very good?" Mrs. Sofia asked Cleo, when she saw a piece of jewelry that really attracted her.
A blue-green emerald rock pendant that glowed beautifully in the light of one of the shops they visited.
Heard her name mentioned and asked for comment. Cleo, who had been following Mrs. Sofia behind, immediately approached her.
