Chapter 12 - 012 ( Changing Places )
Cleo didn't know why those two women kept looking at her in disbelief and surprise.
Although of course, they kept looking and giving a signal to each other without Cleo realising it, Cleo could only stare at them with a serious face and tried to be as convincing as possible.
Who knew they would welcome Cleo or not, maybe they would even kick her out straight away.
In the middle of this confusion, Madame Sofia stared at that woman which she had just met with uncertain feelings.
Half an hour before Cleo arrived, Mrs Sofia had asked Daniar, her assistant, to disguise herself and switched positions to replace her laying on the bed.
To trick a lot of people, Mrs Sofia asked Daniar to prepare everything that they needed in the process of exchanging roles. They wore all the necessary stuff on themselves.
After a few minutes they finished their exchange, a young woman came and knocked on the door. It made their heart almost come off the chest if they didn't see who went in.
Then, when they were not free yet from that shock, the woman came in and introduced herself as the girlfriend of Harry, her grandson?

"Madame, are you sure, you will do this?" Daniar asked with disbelief and anxiety when Mrs Sofia asked to replace her position laying on the hospital bed.
With the purpose so that Mrs Sofia could sneak out without anyone knowing, Mrs Sofia asked Daniar to wear her hospital clothes. Mrs Sofia herself wore the disguise that Daniar had prepared under her command.
She disguised herself in a set of clothes, a full package with a scarf and black glasses.
Daniar didn't know how this disguise idea had crossed Madam Sofia's mind.
The reason was, even though she was bored because she had been in the hospital room for a long time, it was clear that Mrs Sofia could not just sacrifice herself to participate in this deceptive activity.
Even though Mrs Sofia only asked her to lie down and didn't do anything until her mistress returned, Daniar still didn't have full confidence to guarantee that her mistress's departure would remain safe and unknown to anyone as she expected.
"Madam, I really can't guarantee this whole disguise will work until you come back later," Daniar whined again, asking for understanding from her mistress.
"After all, where do you want to go? Shouldn't I take you? Or if not, shouldn't you just give up and go home, so that you can freely travel wherever you want? I am sure all of your family must be very anxious and worried now. "
Daniar's persuasion did not deter Mrs Sofia. Instead, she arbitrarily raised her eyebrows.
"So, you dare to teach me?" she asked with an utter displeased expression.
Daniar immediately denied it.
"Of course I don't dare, madam," Daniar quickly replied. "It's just– As I said, I cannot guarantee that everyone wouldn't know about our disguise. You can see, I'm not very good at lying. "
Hearing the disbelief from her assistant, Mrs Sofia took a deep breath. She knew very well how her assistant had been. If Daniar were a subordinate who liked to lie or throw tantrums, of course, she probably wouldn't have worked for a long time with her.
"Yes. You're just not good at lying. But you are very talkative. I'm just asking you to relax and just lie on the bed until I come back. Isn't that an easy thing?"
"If you go with me, then who will do all this work for me? Hurry up and put on your wig! And don't take up my time anymore," Mrs Sofia firmly argued.
Daniar glanced at a white wig that resembled Mrs Sofia's short white hair. She deliberately prepared that for herself by the order of her mistress. Then, she lazily took the wig and immediately put it on her head.
As a result, now, at first glance, Daniar's appearance looked just like Mrs Sofia because their height and body size were not much different.
So, if other people saw Daniar's appearance now, no one would know that it wasn't her, as long as Daniar didn't show her face to them.
"Please, remember! Don't get caught! If anyone finds out that you are disguising as me and people know that I was secretly going out... "
Mrs Sofia broadened her smile.
"You certainly know what possibilities that I will give to you. You definitely won't feel happy about that."
Daniar swallowed after hearing Mrs Sofia's words just now.
Even though Mrs Sofia was not the type to abuse her subordinates or even be cruel, but still, sometimes, Mrs Sofia liked to use words that made other people, especially her subordinates, couldn't do anything or even argue with her.
Finally, with all her reluctance, Daniar laid down on the bed and covered a part of herself with a blanket.
