Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 126 - 126 ( Good Work )

Deliberately inviting Cleo to chat more casually to get more information from her. Aretta kept putting her many questions about Cleo's relationship with Harry.

Asked some general questions and ended up with deeper questions. Aretta seemed smart enough to read the conversation to the heart of the story she wanted.

Asking how Cleo met her husband. And how they can like each other and how their married life was.

Cleo was constantly amazed by the way she socialized.

Answering all those questions by adding a lot of lies in the narrative. Cleo, who bored to death, finally could breathe a sigh of relief after she returned to her office when the day was late afternoon.

Returned to Harry's office to announce the results of the meeting.

Harry seemed to be listening carefully to how Cleo and her assistants reported their work to him.

Harry gave lightly tapped Cleo's head to praise her.

"Good work! I told you that you will not possibly disappoint me!"

Harry's boasted make Cleo touched the tip of her head which was just tapped. Felt like being an unsweet pet.

Cleo was just could amazed at Harry's sudden lenient attitude.

Cleo then mused.

Does he think I'm his pet dog that needs to be petted?

Cleo thought her thought was ridiculous.

Understood that maybe Harry was just doing that on reflex, Cleo put all her burdens aside.

Felt relieved by results that never disappoint an endeavor. Cleo asked for additional rewards for her not bad work.

"Then, will you give me a present?" Cleo asked with a hopeful face. Hoping that Harry might just give her something nice.

Harry actually sneered.

"Only because once have you successfully completed a meeting in your first project, you already asked for a gift?" Harry sarcastically looked at Cleo.

Cleo was chuckling in reply.

Knowing that Harry was not going to do what she wanted him to do. They then discussed something about Aretta.

"Is she giving you a lot of trouble?" Harry asked without mentioning the name.

Cleo quickly knew who Harry was talking about and what direction they were talking. Cleo pretended to think for a moment to remember. Then finally answered.

"If I say yes, it's actually true. But if I say no, it also means not! So how can I answer that?" Cleo was deliberately unsure.

So that Harry gave her a serious look.

Cleo added.

"There is no physical truce, indeed. But a subtle verbal truce, deliberately played by Aretta to knock me down a little. Deliberately asking questions that confused me and responding to me with terms that were difficult to understand. I'm lucky that I studied properly and got help from your assistant." Cleo glanced at the remaining blank shadow of her assistant who had left for quite some time after she finished giving the report.

Cleo encouraged Harry to do something.

"Give her a gift, if you have free time."

Cleo appointed her assistant so that she to get an award.

They finally learned too that Aretta might still be wanted to go back to Harry. However, he could only narrow his eyes to digest those words.

He did not want her to come back into his life for any reason. He more to choose to get away from her rather than get into trouble. Realizing well that his decision to stay away from her was the most appropriate choice.

Cleo, who could read his expression, wonder.

"You don't want to go back to her?" asked Cleo, which might be justified by a certain part of Harry's heart that had cracked.

Harry might have wanted her back because he had once loved her so much. Until a dark aura surged out of Harry's body. The man glared at Cleo.

"That's definitely not possible!" Harry reassuring himself. And Cleo just chose not to interfere and just believed.

Because she had no authority in expressing opinions. And she didn't care whether Harry would change his mind in the end or what.

Cleo still hoped that the change in his mood will occur later after their marriage had reached the maximum time limit specified in their marriage agreement letter.

Cleo then discussed another matter.

"Well, they heard you canceled their Brand Ambassador model. And decided to find a replacement. Have you got it?" Cleo asked, who remembered again that she and Yugio's party had discussed this issue before. And they asked Harry's side to confirm their new model.

Cleo also heard that it was said that Harry, who would find a replacement as an apology, had to refuse the model they gave. Cleo, who didn't know about it at all, only said that she would inform it later when everything was clear.

Cleo certainly needed to convey this to Harry. So that she could let him solve this problem. Cleo was suddenly curious about one thing.

"Why do you have to change the model?" Cleo looked at him did not understand.

Because Harry who Cleo knew, was not someone who liked to disturb other people. But he precisely disturbs one of his models for a reason?

For what? And Why?

If it weren't for anything important, there must be something interesting.

And it turned out...

"I don't like working with Martharine," Harry replied very honestly and transparently.

Cleo looks shocked.

"What did you say? Martharine? So, Martharine is the model you kicked out?" Cleo said in disbelief.

Harry nodded.

Cleo finally understood part of the problem.

And was sure Martha used this opportunity to make Harry like her. However, she was wrong in strategizing because the man she was targeting didn't like her. Cleo couldn't imagine how irritated Martha's face was at that time.

Cleo finally came up with an idea.

"How about I help you find the model?? It seems I know who is better suited for the role. Isn't your new mall a mix of culture with family and children dynamics?" Cleo asked, which immediately made Harry feel attracted to heard the continuation of her words.

Cleo looked at Harry with certainty.

"But I should ask the person first whether she agrees or not," Cleo looks did not dare to make a sudden decision if she had not confirmed the willingness from the person concerned.
