Chapter 209 - Framed And Upset
At seven o'clock at night, Ethan continued to contact Luna while preparing to leave for dinner at the luxury restaurant in Jakarta. He had even booked the restaurant just to serve him with Luna, he already looked presentable by wearing a white tuxedo suit combined with a bow tie, combing his hair in a pompadé style, shaving his beard, and sprinkling roses on the bed. The man thought he would invite his wife to stay at his apartment.
"Tonight will be the most memorable night for you, hope you like this gift too."
Ethan looked at the exorbitant diamond necklace he had bought this afternoon, he intended to make Luna happy on their wedding anniversary.
Ethan tried to keep Luna in touch by phone, but there was no response.
"Could it be that she's busy and doesn't have time to answer my calls? I'd better send her a message. She must be back from the shooting location soon and still have time to meet me."
Ethan sent a message to Luna to come to their favorite restaurant, after that he left with Richard still feeling enthusiastic.
___
At the shooting location, Luna was still busy posing and demonstrating how to use almost all of Bastian's fitness equipment products. she was with a male model who had been her partner, while Evelyn had been disqualified from participating in the next session because Susan, was ordered to stop her from modeling for the product.
Fito who was sitting waiting for Luna heard the phone ringing from inside Luna's bag. Then he took the phone and saw an incoming call from Ethan.
"He must want to bother Luna again, he jealous husband!"
Fito let the phone keep ringing without answering anything, but instead, he turned on silent mode, so that Luna didn't hear any calls from her husband.
Dress ... dreet ....
This time it was Fito's cell phone that rang.
"Hello, Bro. What's wrong?" Fito asked after picking up the phone?
"I hope you will persuade Luna to have dinner together at a restaurant near the shooting location, I am waiting here, I will share the location," said Bastian from the phone.
"Okay, the important thing is there is additional money." Fito smiled slyly while glancing at Luna who was focusing on her work.
"Don't worry, I will give everything as long as you can make Luna with me after this."
"Okay, I keep your promise."
The phone connection was disconnected, Fito immediately put his smartphone in his trouser pocket, then waited for Luna who might be finished soon.
Luna exhaled roughly, smiling at the male model who was her partner today
"Finally finished."
"Glad to be your partner here, I've wanted that for a long time and today is accomplished." The male model seemed to sparkle when he got a smile from Luna.
"Yeah, I'm also happy to work with you, you are very professional and not flirty." Luna smiled faintly at the model, then approached Fito who was waiting for her.
Luna drank mineral water for a while, then opened her bag to check her smartphone.
"Luna."
"Why?" asked Luna with a raised eyebrow, she didn't take her smartphone.
"Come with me for a moment," Fito called.
"Where?"
"Meeting the CEO of this advertising product, he wants to know about your problem with Evelyn earlier," Fito explained with the intention that Luna would come with him.
"Hasn't Evelyn been disqualified? Why does it have to be discussed again?" Luna asked in surprise.
"Yeah, but the CEO felt he had to be fair to you guys, especially you. Because Evelyn attacked you first," Fito explained.
"But it's already eight o'clock and I have to go home. Keenan and Keyra must be waiting for me," said Luna angrily.
Fito sighed, scratching his neck which didn't itch, he was confused because Luna seemed to refuse to go with him. If he failed to persuade, Bastian would not give him a lot of money.
"Just a moment, Luna. Don't you always get the nickname of a humble and professional model? Then meet that CEO, or you'll be seen as arrogant."
Luna was silent for a moment, then she took the clothes from her bag. "Well, but only for a moment." In the end, she agreed to go with Fito.
"Okay."
Fito smiled in relief. Luna immediately changed her clothes to the clothes she had brought from home.
After a few minutes of changing clothes and fixing her appearance, Luna approached Fito who immediately took her to the car. before entering, she asked Jack and Johan to follow behind, because if they weren't invited, she would surely complain to Ethan and cause a misunderstanding.
"Won't Evelyn come to see the CEO?" asked Luna as she entered Fito's car.
"No, it's Susan's business," Fito replied and got into the car.
Fito immediately drove his car to the restaurant that Bastian had shared the address. Sometimes he smiled faintly glancing at Luna who was silent staring at the roadside view from the glass. once in a while the beautiful model yawns, maybe she's tired and needs a break. Ugh, it's a shame she was framed...
Arriving at the restaurant, Fito took Luna to meet someone who was waiting for her in the VVIP room. Luna doesn't wonder why she has to be in a special room because her rich husband also often asks for a special room if he wants to have an important chat.
"Bastian."
Luna furrowed her brows as she looked at the people who were sitting waiting at the dining table chairs with neatly arranged dishes.
"Come on, sit there quickly, he must have been waiting for us for a long time," said Fito.
Luna followed Fito over to Bastian who looked at her blankly, she acted as if he didn't care about Luna.
"Please have a seat," he called politely
Luna and Fito immediately sat down. Bastian smiled faintly at Luna who glanced at him with a look of disapproval.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you while filming earlier, Susan has told me about Evelyn hitting you," Bastian said formally.
"It's okay, maybe he's just jealous because her position was replaced by me," Luna replied formally as well.
"You can sue her if you need to, I don't want to use her as a model anymore, but she refuses to return the money Susan gave
I thought my product would sell better by using her as your partner, but it turned out to be like this." Bastian looked at Luna with pity, who had been hit several times in the face.
"Yes, Luna, you can sue him for the case of attempted molestation, so he will give up," said Fito.
"No need, it's just a few bruises, the scars are starting to disappear."
"I will increase the honorarium as an apology," said Bastian.
"No need, your salary is high enough, it's more than what I usually charge," replied Luna, looking suspiciously at Bastian.
"Well then, we can eat together as my apology, this time I beg you not to refuse," said Bastian.
"Okay, but I can't stay here for long." Finally, Luna accepted the invitation to eat with Bastian.
Bastian smiled in relief. "It's okay, the important thing is that you want to eat together here, it's a shame if this food is not eaten," he said later.
Fito gets up from his chair. "I'm going to the toilet for a minute," he said goodbye.
"Do not be too long!" Luna ordered because she felt uncomfortable if she only ate alone with Bastian.
___.
Ethan started to get restless because Luna didn't answer his calls either. Of course, because Fito had activated the silent mode on his wife's smartphone. ugh, you damn Fito!
"Where the hell is she? Is she still angry about what happened backstage yesterday?" Ethan was uneasy. After all, he was afraid that Luna was still angry because he had a problem with the beach outfit yesterday.
Ethan tried texting many times, hoping that Luna would read and come see him. He was very hopeful because this was the night of their first wedding anniversary.
Drett ... drett ....
Ethan gets a message via WhatsApp from an unknown number. he opened the message which turned out to be a photo.
"She even had dinner with another man."
Ethan's eyes sharpened when he saw the photo he received was a picture of Luna eating together with Bastian. The man sent the photo to Luna, then threw his smartphone in any direction.
"Why? Why are you doing all this, Luna?"
Ethan looked sadly at all the surprises he had prepared, he rolled the table in front of him, venting all his pain. God, he thought Luna had cheated on him when it was all a trap. I hope this misunderstanding ends soon.. pity the twins if their parents are constantly far apart.
