Billionaire Bride
CH-25 Alotnya Negotiation
Shezie looked back at his ring and then at Henry.
“I don't understand why you bought me another ring?” ask Shezie.
Henry ran his car slowly, creeping down the highway.
“Because you have to come home with me, my parents must be wondering why you're not wearing a ring. I had an impromptu message, fortunately there was a similar ring, I wonder why you are so easy to sell it,” replied Henry, his eyes straight ahead towards the always crowded highway.
“Go home? You're taking me home to your employer? I mean to your parents' house?” shezie asked, looking at Henry.
“Iya,” replied Henry, nodding his head without turning his head.
“No, no, I don't want to! You feel like a loss gave me 100 million dollars just to work a day?” accuse Shezie.
“I'll give you more money if you want to be my wife some time ahead,” replied Henry.
“What? Makudmu what? I still have to go on a show?” ask Shezie.
“Iya,” Henry replied.
“No, no Henry, we pretend marriage is a mistake, I don't want to continue that mistake. I should have rejected your offer from the start, I don't want to play wedding anymore, that's enough!” shezie said, shaking his head.
“My parents didn't let us get divorced. Actually from yesterday my parents told me to pick you up but I didn't find you, I don't know where your house is,” Henry said.
Shezie silently tries to understand what Henry is saying.
“I can't be your wife,” Shezie said.
Henry turned his car off the highway, stopping on a field. She grabbed Shezie and looked at him.
“I can't tell my parents that I paid you,” Henry said.
Shezie turned his back on Henry's gaze, why now would he feel nervous if those eyes were staring at him? Especially if you remember that the man is her husband who married her legally. He chose to look out there at the street that was bright by the street lights.
“My father has chosen a house for us, I do not have the heart to disappoint him,” said Henry.
Shezie leaned his body into the car seat. She can't be Henry's wife keep going, because she has to take care of her mother.
“I will pay you, as long as you want to continue this marriage some time,” said Henry.
Shezie turned to the man who was looking at him.
“But I can't, I have other business, I have my own life, I can't keep going with you,” Shezie said
“I'll pay you more than enough than you have to work in a cafe or act as an affair,” said Henry, trying to get Shezie out.
“I can't disappoint my parents. I need time for us to get divorced, they don't approve of this divorce because the marriage was just yesterday, maybe if it's been a month or two, they'll understand if they see us continue to quarrel, maybe if we keep fighting,” continued Henry.
“So you mean I should be your wife for a month or two?” ask Shezie.
“Yes it seems so,” replied Henry.
“That means I should stay with you so?” ask Shezie again.
“Yes so, until my parents allowed a divorce,” replied Henry.
“But I have my own privacy that you don't need to know,” Shezie said.
“Yes I understand,” replied Henry.
Shezie fell silent again, he remembered what his mother said, how angry his mother was because she got money so easily and thought she was getting money from a striped man.
“I am not a paid wife, from the beginning of my work only acting as an affair of people but not a paid wife, I can not be with you, I'm sorry, our cooperation is finished, can not continue again, can not continue,” Shezie said, discouraging Henry.
“You need what money?” ask Henry.
Asked once Shezie felt interested but he recalled his mother's anger about the money used for the chemo. What if her mother knew she was a wife of people not for love but for money, she was a paid wife, her mother would definitely not forgive her.
“Sorry I can't, I better make money my own way but not to be a paid wife, I'm sorry,” Shezie said, making Henry even more lethargic. Leaning back to her car seat, Shezie did the same. Neither of them spoke.
Henry then glanced at Shezie, he felt Shezie was different than usual, he looked more reserved and moody.
“You're seriously not going to take this job?” ask Henry.
Shezie saw the ring in his diary.
“I can't accept this ring,” Shezie said, he's going to take off the ring, but Henry's hand held it by holding his hand.
“I ask you to think about my request carefully. Tell me how much money do you need?” henry said, looking at Shezie, without letting go of his hand.
Shezie looked at his hand that the man was holding, then looked at the man who was looking at him.
“You can tell me how much I have to pay you,” said Henry, still staring at Shezie, from time to time he realized that the girl had a pretty face just looked unkempt and un-feminine.
“You don't have to do anything, just delay the divorce for a month or two. I promise not to interfere in your affairs, we live each other,” continued Henry.
“I can't stay with you,” Shezie said, still staring at the man.
In his heart he was afraid that if he was too deep in Henry's personal life he would feel Henry's real husband and it would be very painful if the time for divorce later. Now that he had started to feel awry if the man looked at him, just like this time let alone by clasping his hands, his heart was pounding so fast, he was nervous.
“Not always, we can set when is home or you go home. We got a house from dad so we don't need a house with mom and dad. We are free to do anything,” Henry said.
Shezie still silently looked.
“You need how much money? I'll take it. I'll also give you monthly money so you don't have to work in that cafe anymore,” Henry said.
Shezie was silent.
“Tell me,” said Henry, keep persuading.
“You're seriously going to give me a lot of money?” ask Shezie.
Henry nodded, his gaze unable to see the face, until he forgot that he was still holding Shezie's hand.
Shezie keeps thinking, if he gets hundreds of millions more money he can frever for the treatment of his mother, rarely anyone pays for it. Did he just accept Henry's offer?
“But I don't do any obligations right? Just my status is your wife?” ask Shezie, make sure.
“Yes, just to delay the divorce, after all it is safe to divorce, we are divorced,” replied Henry.
Shezie mused again, he was confused about what reason his mother would give if she rarely came home, did she have to tell her mother that she had a job out of town again? If he had to pay a debt to his friend in travel with a job?
“You don't worry you will get your rights as my wife, you won't lack anything, how?” ask Henry again, trying to convince Shezie.
Henry was confused it turns out luring money is not that easy to conquer Shezie, it turns out Shezie is not a materialistic woman who justifies everything for the sake of money, although she could see that Shezie was in desperate need of money but I had no idea what it was for.
“You need 100 million more now? I'll give you,” said Henry, he doesn't want to talk stale anymore, he just wants Shezie to play his role as his wife until the right time to get divorced.
Shezie laughed at Henry's words.
“I need the money 1M, Henry! The huge money that I collected and never collected,” Shezie said, now his laughter is gone because he remembers the money to take his mother to foreign medicine.
“What? 1 M? You blackmailed me?” henry snapped with an annoyed look and released his hand grip on Shazie's hand, then changed his body position facing forward.
“No, I do need money with an amount of about that much, but I can't accept your offer, I can't, sorry,” Shezie said.
“You are outrageous, you blackmail me,” complained Henry.
“Not so, I said I had a life of my own, I don't want to be tied to you because this isn't really a marriage,” Shezie said, trying to straighten out.
Henry was silent for a moment and looked thinking and turned to Shezie.
“Alright, I agree!” henry's reply suddenly made Shezie shocked.
“What? You serious?” Shezie looked at Henry, looked at the man now facing him and looked at him.
“I'm serious, I agree,” replied Henry, making Shezie feel shock.
"You're gonna give me 1M?" shezie asked in disbelief.
"Yes" replied Henry.
Shezie instantly fell silent, was he dreaming?
