Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"You'd better change seats over there and just observe. Then don't try to get other people's attention. I won't be with her for too long."

Cleo spontaneously protested the subtle expulsion.

"What kind of attention can I give to people?" Cleo grumbled as she got up to go to another chair which was quite far from where Harry was sitting. And it was very suitable for her to observe the situation of the two of them later without Aretta realizing it.

Aretta came not long after Cleo finished ordering a drink from a waiter.

Seemed worried if Aretta suddenly did something reckless or perhaps rather, Harry did something reckless. Cleo deliberately told Dirga their current location, so that the man could come to accompany her to monitor the situation.

So that if at any time unexpected events occur, Cleo will not be alone.

Dirga seemed to be very cooperative by coming secretly and approaching her according to orders sent via short messages.

However, Cleo looked confused when she saw Alfin and Reihan were following behind Dirga.

"What are you doing here?" Cleo looked at Reihan and Alfin at the same time.

"I certainly didn't invite or tell you about this," Cleo glanced at Dirga who was already smiling awkwardly at her.

"Sorry, Miss. Mr. Alfin and Mr. Reihan were suddenly forced to come along when they accidentally read your message. So I can't do anything else but drag them too."

Cleo shook her head and don't mind it. She then glanced at Reihan.

"Then, why did you get to be with them?" asked Cleo who probably understood that Alfin was with Dirga in his office because they were in the same office. But what Reihan did together with them, Cleo couldn't predict.

"Currently, it's still office hours and your cafe's operating hours. So, could your cafe be temporarily closed?" asked Cleo who knew by heart that Reihan usually often did this to reduce his activities to calculate the cash book where he worked.

Reihan spontaneously shook his head.

"Um, no. I was just taking a short walk to see what the two men beside me were doing in the office. I keep my cafe open." Reihan pointed to the other side, "Did that woman just come?"

Everyone turned their heads to Aretta at the same time. And Alfin looked curious.

"Then, how can we listen to their conversation? If we just stay away from them? We certainly don't have a sixth sense!"

Dirga agreed.

"That's right Miss. How can we hear their conversation if their position is so far from us? So that even if we can clearly see what they are doing? We still don't know what they're talking about."

Cleo immediately took something out of her pocket.

The other three men who were with her seemed interested. Cleo turned out to take out a recording device that can be loaded loudspeaker. Set the voice recorder to a safe volume for everyone to hear. But not until it can be heard by other parties who were not interested.

Alfin showed a series of smiles and two thumbs up to praise Cleo's ability to act like a scholar.

"Where did you learn about this from?" asked Alfin curiously.

Cleo pointed at the person.

"From your cousin, Harry. And is my husband. He asked me directly to listen to their conversation. Where he accidentally put the sound recording chip right under their desk. I was asked to listen carefully."

Harry's voice came over the recording speakers. So the four of them were quiet and listened seriously.

"So now what do you want to say?" asked Harry curiously and was getting lazy to linger.

Aretta seemed to observe the situation around her first before speaking.

"I have proof that Mr. Robby wants to corner you. And you'll believe it and be intrigued once you see it." Aretta pulled out an important document to show Harry.

While on the other side, Alfin and Reihan looked confused.

"Didn't Harry already know about Robby's actions and we have enough evidence?" asked Alfin not understanding, "But, why does Harry still have to receive the data from her? Is the data our team provided lacking?"

Cleo was a little surprised by what Alfin meant about the evidence they gathered and then about the team they discussed. Cleo didn't just keep her question in mind.

"You guys have a special team?"

The men looked at each other.

"We'll talk about this later and we better listen to it first." Reihan purposely distracted Cleo.

Meanwhile, Harry had taken the document and read its contents.

Aretta's voice was heard again.

"How? Do you trust me now?" asked Aretta enthusiastically. Tried to read the meaning of Harry's gaze which was still the same since they met.

Where Harry acted very different from his old self. Even worse than his old nature, it was as if he really wasn't comfortable being with her. But he kept trying to hold on.

Aretta drew herself closer to Harry.

"I deliberately ally temporarily with Robby to uncover this bad intention. So now, you can certainly forgive me after what I've done, right?" asked Aretta with a million hopes that Harry's heart would melt at her.

Reihan who was on the other side growled.

"Bastard! What's wrong with that woman? Has she gone mad? How dare she to say those words with such confidence?!"

Reihan seemed to want to pull the woman away and throw her into the middle of nowhere. Dirga tried to calm Reihan down.

"Master Rei, please calm down. Mr. Harry certainly wouldn't be so easily caught up in her words. Mr. Harry is quite a smart man," Dirga raised his boss.

But Harry looked stiff.

He felt certain that the purpose of Aretta wanting to see him, was to be able to get her back to Harry using this accurate evidence.

Where Harry would have also gotten a lot of evidence of how Robby wanted to plunge him. However, the evidence provided by Aretta was far more accurate. Even though Harry didn't really need it too much if Aretta gave it to him.

Harry just didn't expect that Aretta would use this opportunity to approach him. So Harry started to deliberately want to play his calm and patient acting well.

"So you're deliberately giving me this evidence so I can forgive you?" Harry provoked, which made Aretta immediately agree.

"I still haven't been able to forget you. Always remember you in my imagination. Do you know how hard it is for me to get rid of my longing for our past memories?"

All the loyal listeners suddenly shuddered with horror. Showed each of their expressions of disgust in various ways. Reihan was hard to believe.

"Is she thick-faced?" Reihan quipped, asked for justification.

Alfin found something interesting.

"See! She mixed something on Harry's drink!"

Alfin who panicked immediately stood up. But Cleo quickly pulled Alfin to sit back down and didn't act rashly. The other men still continued to stare at Aretta's movements seriously.

"Shuiitt!! Why did you shout? Do you want to make everyone look at us?!"

Cleo felt herself acting like a stalker now. Though she had never planned this in the first place.

Dirga immediately asked anxiously in response to Alfin's words.

"What did that Miss mix in Mr. Harry's drink?" asked Dirga, joined in observing the situation.

None of them knew the answer.

Reihan became impatient. Wanted to take part in beating up the poor woman and then wake her up. Everyone was getting worried because they seemed sure that Harry didn't seem to notice Aretta's suspicious movements in mixing something in his drink.

Cleo watched this scene frantically but still asked everyone to calm down           

"We better keep an eye on her first! Because Harry gave the order to me. Please don't spoil it for a while." Cleo wasn't as sure as she believed.

A little thought hard and doubted whether this decision was right or not.

"I hope Harry isn't fooled so easily!"

All the men seemed to agree. But they still can't read someone's mind.

Aretta brought herself closer to Harry again while whispered.

"I know that you still love me very much," said Aretta very unexpectedly. Harry narrowed his eyes seriously.

"I feel the same way, Harry. Waiting for the time when I can come back and be with you again. Even though I know what I did was wrong and hurtful."

Aretta was seen playing with the ends of her hair spoiled and then looked at Harry with a slightly seductive look.

The audience from the other side was excited.

Wanted to beat her but Cleo and Dirga kept on preventing them.

"She dared to tease Harry so openly?" Alfin was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Cleo reminded again.

"Hold your emotions. And we must wait until the situation is really critical, "

Aretta's sweet voice distracted their attention.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Aretta asked while offering Harry a drink.

The bystanders who were hiding went into a frenzy.

Harry refused to drink.

"I'm not thirsty,"

Aretta looked disappointed. But tried not to show it.

Cleo immediately said confidently to her group.

"See? Harry is not easily swayed by Aretta's seductions!"

None of her group gave an answer. Because they continued to listen after nodding with a bit of relief.

Aretta seemed to be getting closer to Harry who remained motionless in his position. Everyone focused their attention more and more.

"Then, are you sleepy?"

Several observers frowned.

Meanwhile, Harry was starting to look wobbly. Reihan looked at him worriedly.

"What really happened? Why do I feel like Aretta's words have a hidden meaning?" Reihan asked, extremely surprised and confused. Cleo also didn't seem to understand.
