"Yes, go ahead, sis," Cilla replied, no less friendly. Her polite and friendly demeanor with people she knows led many to recognize her, but her position as secretary to the CEO also affected her easygoing personality. known people.
However, when Cilla arrived right outside the office, suddenly a man approached her with a sweet smile, so sweet that it surprised Cilla and she chuckled lazily.
'Why is he here? Could it be Daddy who asked him to come here to find me? Looks like I have to persuade Daddy quickly', thought Cilla with annoyance, seeing clearly who the man was who had made her mood worse all day yesterday.
"Cilla, you've come home, right?" asked the man Cilla meant that man was the man her father had chosen to be betrothed to her; he was Neiro.
It was a disaster for Cilla when she used to be very happy to be sent home earlier than usual, but now she has to be faced with someone she didn't expect.
"Yes." Cilla answered Neiro's question in a concise and clear manner.
"Do you want to go for a walk with me?" Neiro's offer made Cilla snort in disgust.
"Sorry, I brought a car," Cilla replied, which was actually a reason as well as a fact.
Neiro smiled quietly. "Don't worry, I can tell my men to bring your car home and you can be with me; I hope you will because this is our approach so that we can get to know each other more deeply," he said at length, which did not change Cilla's thoughts at all or the plan of the girl who would reject his match.
"I'm sorry beforehand; are you sure you accept an arranged marriage that is not based on love?" asked Cilla casually.
Actually, she had started to feel uncomfortable being alone with Neiro, with several people passing by with their eyes fixed on the two of them, but Cilla was confused about how to reject the man.
Casually, Neiro nodded confidently without hesitation. "Sure, why not? Isn't the choice of parents the best?"
"Hm, not all parents' choices are the best; to be honest, I refuse that match, and I'm sorry I can't come with you," Cilla replied apologetically. She hoped that Neiro would not be offended or hurt by her words.
However, it seems that Neiro doesn't seem to accept Cilla's words. "Cilla, maybe you're saying that because you don't know me yet, so don't be hasty and let us get to know each other better; I'm sure you'll change your mind," said the man, so sure of what he said.
Cilla frowned. She didn't like hearing Neiro's response; she thought that the man seemed to be a stubborn man.
"It doesn't matter even though we get to know each other better; I still reject the match, Neiro. So sorry, let me go," Cilla replied, looking at Neiro for a while before getting ready to leave him and pass by the man.
However, unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as Cilla had imagined, and Neiro immediately grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving. "No! You have to come with me! I'm sure after this you will change your mind," Neiro said again with great confidence.
Cilla's gaze became more and more intense, and she didn't like it, especially when she felt Neiro's grip on her hand. She awkwardly tried to remove Neiro's hand from her wrist. 'This person is so confident', thought the girl scornfully.
"Sorry, please let go! said Cilla, who failed to let go of Neiro's hand because the man's grip was so tight. Cilla felt that the grip had turned into a tight grip.
Neiro shook his head firmly, in contrast to Cilla, who held backgrimace. "Get off, Neiro!" Cilla said once again with a higher volume, and she glanced around, hoping someone would take the initiative to help her.
"No! You have to come with me!" replied Neiro, still not giving up; he seemed blind with the condition of the hands. Cilla, the one he was holding, was red.
'It's true what Ernest said; he's not good for me; it turns out he's like this originally-rude and selfish', thought Cilla, justifying Ernest's words last night. The girl couldn't help but wince in pain.
"It hurts, Neiro! Let go!" shouted Cilla, who couldn't hold it anymore; it made the attention of several passersby directed towards them.
"Come with me, Cilla! Before you want it, I won't let you go!"
Neiro was getting worse and worse; the man even started to force Cilla towards his car, while Cilla herself was trying to hold herself back so that Neiro couldn't be pulled at will.
"Akh!" Cilla screamed on reflex in shock when her hand was pulled forward before Neiro's grip slipped from his hand.
Between relief and panic when Cilla saw Neiro, who had fallen in front of her, and after Cilla saw that it turned out that her boss was the culprit, there's no mistake that Leon saved Cilla from Neiro's harsh treatment.
Be it coincidence or fate, earlier Leon had just left the office and was preparing to go to the parking lot, but his attention was on his new secretary, who was wincing in pain. Seeing that, Leon immediately kicked Neiro in the stomach until the man fell to the ground in pain.
"Don't you have a mother to rough up a woman?" asked Leon with a straight face, knowing that he was now being serious.
Leon certainly didn't like the sights. He just saw that, apart from Cilla being his new secretary, he also doesn't like it when he sees a man hurting a woman because Leon has been taught from a young age by his parents, including his mother, not to ever be rough with women. And Leon will always remember that advice.
"Shhh, dammit! Who are you? Dare you kick me? Huh!" Neiro cursed, then snapped after managing to get to his feet on his own.
Cilla, who heard Neiro's words, immediately blurted them out and answered the man's question directly, even though she wasn't the one being asked. "Heh! Don't mess with you! He's my boss! CEO of Alexander's Corp!" The girl said it so clearly and loudly that Neiro could hear it clearly.
Who doesn't know Alexander's Corp.? Maybe not, but most of them probably still don't really know the CEO of the company because Leon rarely publicizes himself in public.
Leon glanced at Cilla with a straight face, but after that, he smiled haughtily with his chin raised. Don't forget that both hands were also tucked into his trouser pockets. The man seemed to be proud of himself.
In contrast to Neiro, who at first looked silent as if he were thinking and digesting what Cilla had said, but after realizing that, the man shook his head in disbelief. "Haha, you are the CEO of this company? Not Cilla's lover?"
It seemed that Neiro was courting death; he even laughed out loud because he couldn't believe it and even thought that Leon was Cilla's lover. Neiro concluded that because Cilla had a lover, the girl did not accept the arranged marriage between her father and Cilla's father.
'Oh my gosh, this person was told that he didn't even believe it; he's so brave with Mr. Leon too,' Cilla thought, irritated with the man she was going to betrothe to.
Cilla finds a brilliant idea to get her father to cancel their arranged marriage, which Cilla is sure to take advantage of Neiro's rudeness to her.
"Whatever, there's no point in arguing with a madman like you," Leon replied casually; he seemed to be in the mood for dealing with someone like Neiro.
"Go home! What are you waiting for?" Leon turned to say to Cilla, That made Cilla nervous, and she prepared to leave there.
However, before that, Cilla thanked Leon first. "Thank you, sir; I'll excuse you." Leon just nodded without replying.
"Cilla! Hey! Don't go!" shouted Neiro, who was getting ready to chase Cilla away. Apparently the man still did not give up and ignored Leon's previous words, which did not make Neiro angry or emotional because his focus was only on Cilla.
"Tsk! What else do you want? Don't disturb my secretary again!" Leon firmly pushed Neiro's chest until the man swayed; luckily, the man was still able to balance his body.
"Do not meddle with me!" Neiro snapped angrily; he no longer saw Cilla's whereabouts; it was certain that the girl had arrived at the parking lot and started the journey home.
"She is my secretary! So I have the right to interfere! If there is a problem with your lover, it's better to solve it carefully! Don't play hands!" Leon replied with his sharp gaze unsheathing Neiro. The man glanced at Cilla's car passing through the area in front of his office.
Neiro shook his head in disbelief at Cilla, who was the male secretary before him; he still considered that saying Cilla in the beginning Leon's arrival.
"Once again, finish carefully; don't be rude with girls!" Leon continued firmly before the man sauntered off toward the parking lot.
It can be concluded that Leon must have thought that Cilla and Neiro had a special relationship; that's why he said that. Neiro himself was called Cilla's lover, but he kept silent and did not deny it.
"Damn you! Just watch out!" Neiro cursed as he watched Leon leave with an annoyed and angry look. He still didn't know who Leon was; if he had, maybe Neiro wouldn't have the courage to do that.
**
That night at George's house, after coming from the bathroom, Cilla sat herself on the edge of the bed. The girl's gaze was fixed on her left wrist, which was still red and slightly blue.
There was no wind and no rain, and suddenly the girl smiled mysteriously, looking at her reddened wrist. His head was filled with a series of complaining sentences that he would say to his father later.
Since coming home from work this afternoon, Cilla hasn't left the room at all, and she did that on purpose.
"Smart once you, Cilla," the girl praised herself when she found a brilliant idea.
According to Cilla, her plan to get her out of this crazy arranged marriage at her father's request will work out later, and hopefully Cilla's guess is right and she will be free from the crazy arranged marriage she doesn't want.
Five minutes after Cilla was satisfied with just daydreaming whileStaring at her wrist, the girl got up from the bed and walked out of the room.
Cilla deliberately ate dinner wearing clothes that exposed her wrists. Yes, it's very clear what the girl's plan is to cancel her arranged marriage with Neiro. Cilla will complain to her father about the rudeness that Neiro did to her.
"How's Ernest missing, Mom?"
Arriving at the dining room, Cilla politely asked her mother about Ernest's whereabouts with an ordinary expression on her face; she didn't look like she was angry or inhabiting her mother.
You can see Frans at the dining table too, and Cilla only glanced at her father before sitting casually in one of the usual chairs. occupied.
"Probably still in the room, honey," Prana answered gently, making Cilla nod.
"You know that earlier I took him to his room," said Cilla.
"No need, son. Maybe Ernest will be here soon," replied Prana, making Cilla nod.
"Is this waiting for brother Ernest?" Cilla asked.
"Yes, so what? Are you hungry, dear?"
Cilla shook her head at her mother's question. "No," he answered briefly as he raised his hands to the table, as if he had just raised his hands on purpose. His eyes glanced at his parents, who seemed unaware.
"Sorry, I am late. Just as Ernest was being talked about, the man suddenly came and sat down beside Cilla.
For today, the man went home as usual, so he could still have dinner with his family.
