"We hope all these troubles will end soon for you!"

Felt Julia's feeling of depression, Cleo and Ethan both looked at each other. Felt if it was not their authority to interfere but felt eager to interfere in Julia's problems.

Cleo immediately gives a suggestion.

"How about you report the matter to the police? Or move house so he can't find you?"

Julia shook her head.

"Not. Thanks. I don't think it's necessary."

Cleo then provided her telephone number for emergencies.

Asked Julia to contact her directly if something happens in the future

Ethan couldn't stop smiling proudly at Cleo. After all of the situations had more conducive.

Praised Cleo who was brave and so cared for others.

"You are a good woman," Ethan said.

Cleo felt that his compliment was too much.

"No. I just do what I have to do."

Ethan finally failed to take Cleo home for various reasons.

On the other hand, Harry was busy with his new problems in the field. All the problems were finally resolved after half a day had passed. Harry checked his cellphone to make sure Cleo had returned safely to his house or not. But only a few typing and repeating a few words because he didn't know what to write. Harry gave up on it.

Until then he accidentally met Martha. Harry's eyebrows rose slightly upward. Asked Dirga what the woman was doing.

"Why is she here?" asked Harry.

Dirga casually answered.

"Martharine is the ad model for the Deluxe project and we will use her face for all the properties in the building. Martha's name has skyrocketed lately," Dirga's words gave Harry a headache.

"What? Why you didn't tell me about this before?" Harry asked.

Dirga looked confused.

"Didn't I have to say that the other day, sir?" Dirga asked back.

"When?" Harry didn't remember.

"On the first day when you arrived in Singapore. At dinner and when you complained about the only hotel room there was. Weren't we talking about the model and mascot for the Deluxe project at that time?" Dirga said, which immediately made Harry speechless.

Didn't he focus on watching Cleo's way of eating secretly at that time? So that, it seemed that at that time Harry didn't pay much attention to Dirga's words about the model because he was too busy protesting Cleo who ate first than him. Even though, at that time he was still receiving a call.

And then, because of the felt that the reality did not need to be disclosed. Harry cleared his throat once. Felt like the world will collapse after this. Harry hurriedly told Dirga to return to the office immediately. But his steps were stopped by a very loud voice and hands that were chasing him fast.

Martha had already embraced Harry's hand without asking. Looking sharply at the presumptuous hand, Harry pushed Martha to stay away from him.

"Can't you maintain your etiquette on the outside?" quipped Harry on purpose. And didn't know whether Martha still had shyness or not.

Felt that the woman was annoying. Harry wanted to get out of there quickly.

"Harry!! Why are you so cold to me? Haven't we seen each other in a long time? You don't miss me?" asked Martha, spoiled. Harry sneered. Dirga was already afraid that Harry will go on a rampage because he knew that Harry hated it when a woman touched him.

Martha still frowned indulgently. Harry quipped again.

"We just met shortly at Steven's party. Now you say you miss me?" Harry used his sarcastic words.

Martha was actually happy.

"Of course! A week feels like a century to me. And I'm lucky to be able to work with your company. Do you know what this is called?" asked Martha with sparkling eyes.

Harry didn't respond. Martha answered her question.

"This is a predestined meet. As a way for us to be together. And I can't refuse it either," said Martha hilariously. Made Harry and Dirga shudder.

Dirga glanced slightly at his boss. Made sure that the man will not grab Martha's hand. Harry actually smiled gently. Staring at Martha with the corner of his eye that tapered. Harry ordered something to Dirga.

"Cancel the model contract for Martharine today. I don't want to have cooperated with her agency for whatever reason. And speed up the process of getting the replacement," Harry exclaimed with a slight smile and then pulled Martha's hand away from him like shooing something dirty.

Harry walked freely leaving Martha whose face was already flushed from holding back sadness and resentment.

Until Martha cursed.

"Harry! You can't just walk away like that and ignore me! Do you know how many other companies want to hire me as their model? You will incur huge losses if you replace me. Harry!! You bastard!!"

Harry ignored the curses. Walked away to leave her and did not reply. Dirga could only look at Martha with pity.

'Poor woman! She should not disturb the calm lion,' Dirga cursed in his heart.

***

Someone continued to catch Harry's attention. Made he immediately to ask.

"Why did you just come home at this time?"

Stared coldly when he saw Cleo coming home very late.

Cleo was surprised to see Harry have to wait for her in front of the house.

Felt he stared at her sharply. Cleo looked around and asked about his grandmother.

"Your grandma already go home?" Cleo asked while observing grandmother's room lights that were not on. Cleo looked straight at Harry. But Harry seemed to be in serious thought.

"Yes. And you haven't answered my question. Isn't your course schedule finished long before sunset? Why did you just come home at this hour?" Harry asked while snorting.

Cleo frowned and glanced at the watch.

It was still seven o'clock. Wasn't that still quite early?

"Um, yeah. I had a chat with Chef for a while and there was a little incident that happened. Are you waiting for me and need something?" Cleo asked.

Then invited Harry to enter.
