Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 22 - 022 ( Ask For Proof Of Settlement And Celebrate Freedom )

Dirga laughed at Cleo's words with a crisp in his heart. He then glanced at his boss in horror.

This woman was clearly very brave and shameless for asking for such a large amount of money. Although it was not a difficult amount for his boss, Mr. Harry Miles Theodore, but it was definitely more than what she should have been able to get.

"Why didn't that woman ask for one billion rupiah instead of only 8/10 of what she asked for?" Dirga who was still pissed off because of Cleo's request, keep asking to himself.

Cleo could catch the displeased expression that Dirga threw at her. She also knew that her request didn't make sense.

But, rather than continuing to think about what Dirga thought about her, Cleo would prefer to guess how Harry reacted after he heard what she said from his expression.

But whatever it was, Cleo couldn''t read his reaction.

That man like a statue that was displayed beautifully in front of her eyes. Not expressing, making no sound and not making any meaningful movements.

Cleo looked at Harry, annoyed.

"Honestly, I wanted to ask for a bigger amount of money. That is one billion rupiah."

Dirga squealed softly when he heard Cleo's words..

"But since I thought the number was too much, and maybe even a little impossible for you to meet, I reduced it to that number. It's totally stuck and, not negotiable. But I promise, if you will comply my request and pay me directly in advance, then I will immediately undertake whatever the conditions you give. I will agree to whatever contract you make, " Cleo explained.

Cleo looked at Harry expectantly.

"Can you meet my request?" Cleo asked anxiously.

To be honest, Cleo has told the whole truth.

According to her, it took a lot of courage to marry someone she didn't even know well so far, especially someone who had never had any kind of relationship with her before.

And for Cleo, who thought marriage was something sacred and only happened once in a lifetime, this was clearly a very courageous act to do.

But because her current situation was so urgent and unsolved, this choice was the only way to solve her problem.

If she didn't ask for a large amount of money at this very rare opportunity, Cleo couldn't pay off all her debt to the loan sharks along with the interest.

Cleo looked annoyed at Willy. Even though Willy had big muscles and was also muscular on the outside, the man clearly rarely used his brain.

"Don't talk too much! Take me directly to Billo-billo's place. You still remember where it is, right? " Cleo asked who didn't want to argue. Willy immediately nodded.

He started the motorbike engine and helped Cleo carry the bag she was carrying when she got on his motorbike. Then within seconds, the two of them sped away.

Not long after, they arrived at a worn-out building in the sidelines of a narrow alley near the night market. If seen from the outside, it might look very neglected and quite neglected. But once inside, the atmosphere and circumstances were not as bad as those outside.

After approaching the two guards outside and immediately stating their purpose for coming there, Cleo and Willy were immediately ushered inside to meet Billo-billo.

Arriving in a room that was very smoky and not much lighting, Cleo immediately found the figure she was looking for sitting on a long sofa. While playing cards with some of his friends and two beautiful women who sat beside him, Billo-billo looked at his two guests with investigating eyes.

The man was a little surprised. Especially after he heard his men whisper something about what Cleo brought for him. With a disgusting grin, Billo-billo looked like a happy uncles who was fat and big that ready to be hit.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. You are prettier than the last time I saw you, my dear little girl. "

Cleo knew that it was just a series of pleasantries that he had spoken. But what he said made Cleo amused. She looked at Billo-billo with displeasure.

Since when did I become your little girl ??!

"Who would have thought, you would come here to pay off all your debt to me right away?" Billo-billo looked at Cleo with sparkling eyes.

"Where do you get that money? The last time I offered you a job, you turned it down. And look now, so quickly you can get that kind of money right away? don't I need to suspect where you got it from? " Billo-billo asked enthusiastically.

He stopped his card game, and started to look at Cleo thoroughly. From top to bottom.

As if he could guess where Cleo got the money with just one look, the man smiled meaningfully.

Cleo laughed it off.

"Do I need to tell you where I got it? I guess that's definitely none of your business!" Cleo replied lazily.
