Chapter 18 - 018 ( Agreeing This Marriage )
Like a bell beating loudly over the head, Cleo felt something pretty hard hit on her brain.
Even her nerves now seemed to stop working all of a sudden.
She really didn't expect that she would get an enlightenment so fast.
Slowly and uncertainly, Cleo began to gradually digest everything Dirga said to her.
"You ... Are you sure with what you said ??" Cleo asked in disbelief.
Obviously there were a million question marks in her words.
The word "agreed" echoed many times in her brain.
"Yes. I am sure," Durga replied.
When that man expressed his belief once again, Cleo shouted loudly with trembling hands.
"So am I really going to marry him?!" Cleo shouted hysterically, which made many pairs of eyes who happened to be nearby, stare at her.
Cleo immediately realized that she was in a public place. So, she immediately felt embarrassed and began to reduce her tone.
"Dirga, are you sure with what you said? Is it true that Mrs. Sofia agrees that I marry her grandson?" She asked in disbelief in a low voice, so that no one could hear her.
"The problem is, this morning, I came to the hospital to see Mrs. Sofia. I'm pretty sure I didn't talk much to her. So, how could Mrs. Sofia agree right away ?? " Cleo asked, confused.
Cleo returned to remembering Mrs Sofia's treatment, which made no impression at all.
That woman clearly refused to talk to her any longer. She even told her assistant to take Cleo out of her room because she preferred to rest alone.
So, where did the thought of agreeing their marriage come from? Cleo hadn't even talked about that to her. Then where did the idea come from?
"Could it be, this was because Mrs. Sofia's assistant had told her all the good things about me ? That's even stranger. If that was the case, it was obvious that Mrs. Sofia wouldn't have agreed just like that" Cleo kept questioning. She kept asking to herself.
"Regarding this matter, I don't really know either. I'm just passing on a message. Therefore, if you want to know more, you can come here. Because it seems like I have said what I should I said, I ended this call. Good afternoon." Dirga replied.
Click.
The call ended.
"Hey! Aren't we done talking yet?! " she cursed at the caller who couldn't even hear her scolding anymore now.
That secretary always spoke briefly and importantly. Just like the boss, Harry Miles. Little talk and very stingy to make small talk.
Would the world collapse if they talked more or just made small talk?
Hah...
Cleo started to think again. She repeated Dirga's words in her mind, and she muttered to herself.
"Could it be that something I was missed this morning at the hospital? Or did Mrs. Sofia secretly listen to my conversation with her assistant ?? Ah, who cares!!"
No matter what Mrs. Sofia's reasons for agreeing this marriage, what matters now was that she succeeded in fulfilling her obligations.
Yeah even though she herself didn't know how that process happened, but at least Cleo had succeeded.
Cleo cheerfully widened her smile. She then looked around and looked for someone.
When she found who she was looking for, Cleo immediately went to her.
"Sasya, I have important business now. Please replace me, okay? " Cleo asked as she walked towards the cashier counter.
She met Sasya, her coworker. She then ask that woman to replace her today on watch.
Sasya was immediately stunned.
"Are you kidding? What do you mean replace you? Where are you going? " Sasya asked, confused.
Cleo smiled meaningfully.
"I have urgent matter. Therefore, please replace me today. Okay?" Cleo asked again, half begging.
"Hah?! Seriously?! You forget that right now, we are still in working hours?! You can't just walk away and leave your job! " Sasya protested.
Sasya forbade Cleo to leave her job. But Cleo, who was currently focusing on other things, she didn't care about Sasya at all.
She walked into the dressing room and quickly changed her clothes, she then carried her bag and walked out without being prevented.
Sasya who saw that could only look at her in disbelief.
"Cleo !! Are you serious to walk away and leave me?!" Sasya shouted while looking at Cleo's departure in frustration.
Sasya knew that Cleo was not the type of person who was not irresponsible at work. But what did she just see?
That woman was serious about her words.
"I told you that I have important business. Because of that, please help me this time, "Cleo begged from a distance that was already quite far, she then dashed away in a hurry.
"Hey! Cleo! Take your bag and put your uniform back on! You can't leave me alone like this! You know for sure that our work is piling up a lot. But you still want to leave?!" Sasya kept shouting and asked Cleo to come back.
