Chapter 87 - 087 ( Stay A Week. Or I'll Come Along )
Didn't know what the trigger was. It seemed that the topic this time was very sensitive to Sofia.
After all, ever since they had come for dinner. Grandma seemed to have a slightly different face than usual.
Sofia might indeed be able to show her usual expressions and words.
But deep in her mind, there were some things that kept her attention, ever since she learned some important facts that made her almost shocked and very angry at that time.
Harry, who didn't want to argue, chose to back down and asked Dirga about his schedule.
"Is there an empty schedule for me?" asked Harry to Dirga.
Dirga then tried to remember the whole schedule of his boss.
"For the next six months all your schedules are fully booked, Sir. But, if you want to spare a few days traveling. I'll try to reset it," explained Dirga with his considerations and began to sort out which schedule in his note, could be changed based on what he still remembers.
Harry listened casually and rejected Dirga's idea.
"No need. Just combine it with my schedule on Friday. When I have to go to Singapore on business!"
the solution invites other problems.
And everyone looked at him.
Seem didn't agree with that answer. Christina commented first and looked at Harry in disbelief.
"You want to go on a business trip, and honeymoon together?" shrieked Christina in amazement.
Alfin supported her.
"Aren't you wrong?" Alfin asked disapprovingly by glancing at his grandmother with a little horror.
Dirga did not feel sure too.
"Sir. You're not really sure, aren't you? " asked Dirga doubtfully and a little depressed.
Their marital status was merely a contract or a pretense. But, should his boss make such an easy decision?
What kind of honeymoon took place together with his business trip? Moreover, didn't Dirga also come with him?
This was not a honeymoon. But, sightseeing!!
Dirga was even more horrified at the thought of what Mrs. Sofia might do if she knew about it.
But apparently, before Sofia knew more about who was involved in the business trip. Sofia had already expressed her disapproval of their main problem.
"Do you think going on a honeymoon is the same as going on a regular vacation, or going on a business trip like you've been doing all this time? Just pulling her out with you, without doing any planning? Aren't you too short-minded?" asked Sofia.
Throwing out all her disapproval in a cold atmosphere.
She did not fully accept the decision. And Harry, who did not feel that he was wrong, replied to the grandmother in a relaxed manner.
"Isn't the most important thing is togetherness? Wherever it is and whenever it is, as long as we can enjoy the holidays together. Isn't that enough? In fact, there are many couples out there who don't do that tradition!"
Sofia looked at him in disbelief. Including everyone who has now been stunned by Harry's messy narrative.
Sofia said again.
"By combining it together with your business schedule ??" Sofia asked in her hyperbole tone.
Everyone stared enthusiastically.
"Yes. As grandma heard it yourself, my schedule is full. And if you don't want to wait, wouldn't it be better if we did it as soon as possible?" replied Harry indifferently.
Sofia gave him an irritated look.
"But Dirga said, he could change the schedule!" Sofia didn't want to accept.
"Yes. But it's more efficient if everything is done precisely like this," replied Harry with his logic and precise calculations only according to him.
Sofia gave him a frustrated look. And then let out a breath.
"What kind of honeymoon only goes to neighboring countries? Aren't there lots of other romantic places that can be your destination? Why do you have to choose your destination in a neighboring country for your honeymoon? Aren't you too short in making decisions?"
Sofia repeatedly didn't understand Harry's way of thinking. And Christina agreed with her grandmother.
"That's right, bro! Why did you have to choose Singapore as your destination? I don't mean to say badly. It's just that there are lots of other places that are more suitable for you to spend your honeymoon with each other. Like Paris or Croatia, for example? Why should you go to the country on business for your first vacation?" Christina chimed in cluelessly.
And she was grateful not his wife.
Harry stared at her.
"Is distance more important than togetherness?" Harry spat out his crushing words.
Christina gave him a stiff look.
Since when did his older brother understand more about what togetherness is? Did he really understand those words?
Huh! Make a headache! And whatever!
Christina didn't want to worry about it.
But what about the grandmother?
Sofia, who had disagreed from the start, continued to submit her refusal.
"Whatever your reasons, grandmother still doesn't agree. You should think more about your wife's feelings. And ask her first. Have you asked her opinion?" Sofia asked, glancing at Cleo.
Cleo, who from the start did not want to interfere with the decision, which in the end would not have much effect on her. Choosing to match the voice with Harry.
"I'm fine, Grandma. Wherever we'll honeymoon, won't it be the same?" replied Cleo trying to agree with Harry. Glanced at Harry a little then looked back at the grandmother.
Christina didn't agree and immediately rebuked her.
"Ouch, Cleo! What's the same? Obviously, it's different! Very, in fact!" She protested, disapproved. Cleo still tried to voice her opinion too.
"Besides, I don't really understand and know those places," she reasoned.
Christina approached her.
"That's why you have to go to a really special place!"
Christina trying to convince. However, Cleo argued again.
"But I don't speak any foreign language," Cleo cried reminding all people.
"It's not a problem because you are with Harry! A man with 7 fluent language skills! So you just have to say where you want to go, and everything will be fine! Right, Mr. Harry?" Christina glanced at Harry to justify her.
But, Harry did not reply.
Cleo took a quick glance at Harry then answered.
"I will leave all decisions to my husband," said Cleo, speaking wisely.
And Alfin, who kept listening to the small debate, almost burst out laughing at Cleo's obedient narrative.
Sofia gave her a tired look.
"Fine, if you want to be like that. But, I want you to extend your vacation. At least one week," affirmed Sofia.
Harry frowned.
"A week? It is impossible. Three days is more than enough!" replied Harry stubbornly.
Sofia was no less adamant than him.
"Stay a week. Or I'll come with you to make sure it," Sofia not wanting to lose.
Harry, who heard the menacing tone, tried to restrain himself and stop arguing.
Sofia looked back at Harry seriously.
"So, you want me to come or not?" Sofia asked meaningfully.
Harry couldn't say anything other than to give up.
"Do you need to go this far?" asked Harry.
Sofia nodded.
"Sure. Until I get what I want."
Harry sighed.
"Alright. We will go without you,"
Harry ending their argument, with all the winning ends on the grandmother's side.
Sofia smiled happily at that.
Cleo looked at Harry with pity.
***
On the other hand.
Willy, who was still seriously thinking about Harry's statement, did not feel calm ever since he found out about Cleo's status.
His thoughts raged.
The fact that there was someone who claimed to be married to Cleo made Willy continued to have trouble concentrating.
He didn't know how that man knew Cleo. And how did that man meet her? Until finally, he even claimed to be married to Cleo.
Was there any reliable logic?
How did all this happen, and since when?
Willy was eager to find out.
And don't want to lose important information.
Willy repeatedly checked his logic which was being rigorously tested.
If that was all true, why did Cleo never tell anything to him? Could it be that Cleo was keeping something from him?
Or, maybe.
It all had to do with how Cleo can get a lot of money to pay off all her debts?
Willy already realized the weirdness that day. But never be suspicious or perhaps refuse to hesitate to her.
But, now. Some of the negative thoughts began to appear in Willy's mind.
Hoped Cleo would not do anything stupid or bad.
Cleo couldn't possibly—
Oh, no...
Willy shrieked with annoyance from all the expletives.
The Cleo he knew was not a woman like that!
So, how did Willy think badly about her and prove all his negative thoughts were wrong? Should he investigate this matter first? Or should he wait until Cleo talks to him directly?
Feelings of chaos enveloped Willy even more.
Willy, who was at one of the bars, looked around to find someone he had been waiting for.
Because, before coming here. Willy had already contacted someone to come to see him immediately.
And after he cast his gaze all over the place and focused. He entered the door and searched for that person.
