Chapter 3 Married

As much as possible, Freya doesn't fall for Leon's persuasion, her boss. Accomplish not to let any gossip spread if they catch a scandal.

"Want to add more?"

"No need. I don't have that strong stomach." Freya refused subtly. He had to go home, especially since his mother would anxiously wait.

Strangely, Leon did not immediately pay the bill. Maybe the guy immediately pays once a month. Rich people have different ways of spending their money. If you need and buy directly, step on the gas.

There are no other activities. Bravely, Freya took her boss home. After the wheels of life turned, Freya became more comfortable at home.

Leon agreed, walked back, and made the people still eating stop their activities. Yes, who doesn't know Leon Maxime? A man of Caucasian nationality always rises in prestige because of his handsomeness and success.

"Get in and be careful. Many victims accidentally squeezed into the railings because this car is so short."

Freya nodded and sat down quietly. At least you're not embarrassed because, for the first time, you can feel the luxury of a sports car that not just anyone has.

"Was your boyfriend Fre?" asked his mother.

Freya shook her head, again checking that Leon's car had left. Surely there will be many nosy neighbors. Get used to it!

"No, Mom. He's my boss; my motorbike sulked when I went home earlier, so I got an offer to hitchhike with him."

Yes, that's how it is. It feels strange that Freya also enjoyed a high-class dinner with her boss.

"Shower, eat and rest. Your body needs more sleep, Frey. Don't stay up all night."

"Yes, Mom."

I just got home; Leon was bombarded with the same questions daily. His ears have gotten used to it; it doesn't hurt as much as before listening to the same sentences.

"Mom, can't you see I just got home? I'm tired; Leon has to take a shower and sleep now. I have a morning meeting tomorrow. So, can I go to my room now?"

Lidya is still adamant about asking for the same thing. Yes, mate. His eyes could no longer bear to see that his son was always alone, even though the world knew how handsome Leon Maxime was.

"From the beginning until now, I have been curious. Why have you never introduced any woman in your life, Leon? See, Noah and Tere are already married and have children. At least think about this old mother; your father is not young either. You know that, right?"

Leon's steps stopped. She was surprised by the way of thinking, like what his mother just said. Is the measure of happiness balanced with a person's longevity? Yes, if you don't want to get married, what's wrong?

"Mom, I can think about that later. And also, see? Noah is indeed married, but is the marriage happy? He even officially became a widower three months ago. Want me to experience the same?"

Finally, the mother gave up. His family is always intelligent when doing question-and-answer sessions. Lidya never knew where Leon became this complicated.

He just wanted to see his youngest son get married and have a family like men his age. At least bring your boyfriend home.

Managed to escape from his mother's grip, Leon didn't take a bath. He stared blankly outside; the air last night was still not cold.

"Mama protest again?" A voice he recognized so well made Leon not even turn his head.

Yes, it is Noah, his real brother.

They are four years apart in age, but there is still Tere. Happy with two cute children, but somehow Leon until now has not been interested in being in a relationship with anyone. I don't have a boyfriend.

Not unsold. Leon couldn't do it; the slant-eyed man always failed with his destiny.

"Yes, again and again. My intention to move apartments is getting stronger; you are here with Clara? Where is she?"

Even though he never thought of getting married, at least Leon didn't hate children. Clara, Josh, and Lula were his favorite nephews.

"Today, he was hanging out with Sonia, and you know for yourself if the three of us hang out, there's going to be a war."

Their laughter exploded. At least Noah isn't as complicated as Leon; he can love, get married, share his life, and have children, in contrast to Leon's life which is as flat as a blackboard.

"Okay, say hello to Clara; miss her uncle."

"Ready. He often asks when you will get married, it seems, because he is often with Sis Tere and Mama, my son is infected with Julid," he joked.

Leon just smiled and then flat back. "Yeah, you know I'm difficult to be like other men. I could have married anyone. Unfortunately, I don't want to get hurt and hurt him."

They both sighed-Leon with all his worries and Noah with pity for his sister.

It's not challenging to get Leon to get one woman; 100 women is easy. Lots of queues, invitations to go on a date as well as offers to sleep in the same bed. But Leon still refused.

It seemed the only way was to ask the woman who had caught his eye yesterday to marry him. Who else, if not Freya Renata Jeehan?

In appearance, the woman was incredible, and what Leon liked the most was Freya, who was brave and intelligent. Yes, maybe with a million-dollar offer, Freya wouldn't turn it down.

***

It's strange; most people don't always face the CEO of Maxime's company. But why now does Freya have to meet that man again? Could the man want to collect all the food that has entered his stomach again?

With great anxiety, Freya finally stood right in Leon's office. The man is waiting inside. Leon should have said it by now. At least he can take care of the marriage thing.

"Come in," Leon answered from inside. Freya carefully opened the door and stood until Leon told her to sit.

"You've come. Sit down; I have something serious I want to talk to you about."

Freya complied. His face was taut now. Afraid that Leon will do unexpected things.

"Your motorbike has been repaired; you don't need to worry. Also, you don't have to pay rent for a few years."

The forehead of the woman in front of him knit together; Leon knew that Freya must be confused. "Yes, I offered to take care of it. But on one condition, marry me."

Glek. Freya's eyes widened perfectly. "Is Mr. Leon playing a prank on me?"

"No. I've never been this serious before."

Oh, Lord! Freya clearly couldn't believe it. Not yet.

There is a week of work already. Get a misguided offer like this.

"On what basis are you asking me to marry you? If you think I will melt down over money, you're wrong. I'm not interested. Excuse me." Freya almost stood up and left her superior's room. But Leon immediately got in the way. Luckily the room is not transparent.

"Wait. I haven't fully explained it yet. I know you were once married, betrayed by your ex-husband, and now your family's condition is also not well. Cotuontinuto como is the man.

"Wait. I haven't fully explained it yet. I know you were once married, betrayed by your ex-husband, and now your family's condition is also not good. The only way is to accept this cooperation."

What? Marriage for Leon is just cooperation? What kind of joke is this? Freya didn't want to face a crazy man like her boss. He must go now too.

"Also, I don't have any other choice. Don't worry; we won't make physical contact; I can guarantee it."

Freya's brow furrowed again. From the looks of it, Leon couldn't have ever made out with women, right? Even Freya was sure many lines of women lined up to be on the man's perfect broad chest.

"I.. not like your thoughts," Leon guessed. He could read Freya's expression now. "Also, I never know when this crazy fate will seal me; I have never felt what it is to be in love, to love a woman, to be precise."

"Haha, should I believe it?" Now there is no more integrity that Freya has to uphold. So, this was all Leon was holding his pride up to?

"I'm gay, Freya. And you must know what that means and what kind of life I've lived so far."

Gosh! Crazy!

Freya took a few steps back. This was an unexpected confession. A man who looks perfect, wants to be owned by many women, and is happy with all his possessions and luxury goods but doesn't like women? What joke is this again?
