CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
CRD Louise & Jo Moments

Joanna parked her car right in front of her flower shop. Visitors are very crowded, especially on special days like today. The flowers sold are also more diverse than the usual day. After locking her car automatically, Joanna rushed in with several other customers.

"Jo, are you coming?" greet a middle-aged woman when Joanna had just entered.

In this store, they used to call Joanna just as Jo. There is no real special reason, only when Oskar was a child his tongue still can not say the word Joanna, he can only say 'Ommy Jo' at that time. So they followed up calling it without the frills of 'Ommy'.

"Yes, Auntie!" joanna answered while giving a hug to the half-century old servant who welcomed her.

The aunt couldn't take her eyes off Joanna who made her pangling, "Your husband definitely wouldn't let you wander around if he knew you had changed your appearance to be this beautiful" she said slowly, holding Joanna's hand.

"Bi, don't talk like that. I don't even know if I have a husband" Joanna said softly. Putting a face pretended to be parched before him.

"There must be, it just hasn't found you yet. Auntie sure, she must be looking for you desperately right now."

"If it were true that way, then I would be very grateful" said Joanna sumringah.

"Here you go, don't talk about it anymore. Auntie doesn't want you to be sad. Come here, what flowers do you want today?" asked the aunt to switch the conversation.

The servant's aunt was very familiar with Joanna because she was the one who served Joanna the most when Joanna visited. Sometimes, when Joanna brought Oskar she also took the time to just take him to play around for a while.

"I want to give a bouquet of flowers to a grandmother. He's having a birthday today. Can you pick it for me?" ask Joanna.

"What flowers does he like?"

"I don't know, but he really likes white."

"Come, come with me and choose whichever you like" the servant aunt asked. He took Joanna to the place where the white dominated flowers were.

Joanna looked around, her first glance directly falling onto the white rose. Roses are her favorite flowers, and most women love them. So Joanna decided to pick it up a few stalks. Joanna kept walking, but had not found what other flowers she would pair with her rose.

"What is this?" ask the friendly servant aunt.

"No, I'd like to add a few more flower stalks as a companion. But I haven't found a suitable one yet" replied Joanna.

"Alright, no need to rush. Choose it casually. Oh yeah Jo, if you don't mind, auntie will serve that visitor first, how?" the maid's aunt's permission while pointing towards a newly arrived visitor.

"No problem" replied Joanna. Not forgetting to nod his head and smile as a sign of his approval.

"Find aunty when you're done, auntie will put her up special for you" the aunt said before leaving with a swipe on Joanna's back.

It just so happened that the new visitor was not far from where Joanna was standing now. The store was crowded with visitors, so the aunt had to be smart to divide her time to serve her guests well so as not to disappoint them.

After pacing around alone in the crowd, Joanna finally decided to take the lilac as her white rose companion.

The lilac flower, symbolized as a flower to express love, is usually used during wedding ceremonies. But lilac flowers can also symbolize the power of love between mother and child. Very suitable given to Lady Anne who happens to be having a birthday right on mother's day today.

"It seems like this is enough" Joanna told herself.

Joanna circulated her gaze to look for the figure of the servant's aunt, intending to hand her selected flowers to be packed into the bouquet.

Joanna saw the aunt standing a few steps away from her among the crowd. Still talking to a man who seems to have made the flower of his choice.

Joanna stepped on her feet slowly, drawing closer to the aunt, but another visitor accidentally bumped into Joanna's shoulder when Joanna was very close to the servant's aunt she was looking for.

"Sorry, Miss pretty. I didn't mean it, were you hurt?" ask the guy.

A large-bodied middle-aged mother hit him. He looked anxious when he saw Joanna bouncing around a little.

"I'm fine, there's no need to worry" replied Joanna kindly.

"Thank God you're okay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Then excuse me," said the impactor's mother politely.

"Please, careful!"

After saying goodbye, Joanna tidied up her slightly messy dress. Also check the flowers in his left hand, fortunately the flowers were not damaged by the encouragement he received.

Joanna breathed in with relief. Now, there will be no more bullies that will stand in his way.

"Bi, I want this one. Please help me put it together," asked Joanna with her sweetest smile.

"Look, what's Auntie's opinion. Didn't I pick a pretty flower?" scatter Joanna again. It was as if she was showing off her choice of flowers to the servant aunt she was looking for.

Unfortunately Joanna did not see in advance if the aunt was still standing in the same place as before she bounced. And worse, Joanna immediately wrapped her hands around the arm of someone she thought was a servant's aunt. Tightly holding the hand of someone who now replaced the servant's aunt.

Joanna was still unconscious, but the arm she was holding seemed a little strange. Joanna still smelled the scent of the flowers as her hands fumbled around the arm, feeling burly despite being wrapped in a cloth that seemed like a suit. Joanna was still not satisfied, her fingers were getting down to hold the hand that was stocky, warm and comfortable. A watch was also attached to the person's wrist.

"Could it be that I'm holding someone's hand wrong?" inner Joanna.

"Jo, do you know this sir. I'm sorry if it's presumptuous, but you guys look so well-matched," reprimanded the servant aunt who just came with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Looks like she's done arranging flowers belonging to the male customer who is currently being held by Joanna.

Joanna finally regained her senses though very late, then turned to the right side. He could see very clearly someone who had been silent even though he was getting indecent treatment from her. Joanna saw a chest that was a plane right in front of her eyes. Joanna swallowed her saliva, and ventured to see the face of the owner of the hand she was still holding.

Up there, Joanna could see the face of an unusually handsome man who was also looking down and looking at her intently.

DEG.

DEG.

"Damn, if only there was Xiao O. He could definitely melt this awkward atmosphere, "inner Joanna.

"I'm sorry, I got the wrong guy!" joanna explained. Do not forget to give a beautiful smile even though it looks very awkward.

"No problem, Miss!" the man replied with a faint smile on his lips. Nor did he take his eyes off Joanna's red face.

"Thank you" Joanna said.

"Jo, auntie will arrange the flowers of your choice. Aunt will be back soon" said the servant's aunt, taking the flowers still in Joanna's left hand and giving the man's flowers before leaving.

"That's pretty," said the man suddenly.

"Eh, what?" joanna did not understand.

"Didn't you just ask my opinion on the flower of your choice?" continue the man.

"Oh, that. Um, does that look good?" joanna asked trying to melt the mood.

"certain. No, I mean it's not only good, but it's perfect because you chose it" the man slammed with a deadly eye.

"Oh, t-thank you," Joanna replied blushing even more.

"Of course, please!" joanna answered quickly.

Joanna felt weird. If you want to go, then go. Why ask her permission. Joanna knows he's handsome, but what if he's handsome. Does he think he's going to ban him from going and keep him?

"Miss, do you want to go with me?" ask the man again.

"Ah, why should I go with you?" joanna did not understand.

The man smiled looking at the innocent expression on Joanna's face. "I'm sorry, I thought you were in love with me and wanted to be with me."

"Sir, what are you talking about. No kidding!" Joanna.

"Miss, I'm not kidding. Do you want proof that you want to come with me?" his challenge.

"Evidence?" joanna didn't understand.

The masculine man also gave evidence that he said, which was holding back Joanna's hand which turned out to still not let go of the man's hand until now. Right now, the two of them were grasping each other tightly.

"Oh, fuck. Why don't I realize I haven't let go of her hand since!" inner Joanna.

"I'm sorry again, sir. I didn't mean it."

Joanna let go of the man's hand as quickly as possible with an increasingly awkward smile. She also lowered her head as deeply as possible to hide her crimson face from holding back embarrassment.

"Miss, it doesn't matter if you still want to hold it. But the condition is you have to marry me, what do you think?"

"Sir, this is not what you think. So don't get me wrong" replied Joanna.

"But I don't mind making this misunderstanding the cornerstone of our next relationship."

"Why is it like that?"

"Because I like you."

"I'm sorry, I have to leave immediately. Again sorry!" joanna said, bowing her body for a moment. Then go as fast as possible to get her flowers. Leaving Louise still standing and smelling the remnants of Joanna's scent in her hands.

.

A few hours earlier at Matthews Group.

A month had passed since her return, but Louise still had not found any trace of someone she was looking for. There was not the slightest hint, all he knew was that the person had once lived in this city. Louise frowned, without finding the person's whereabouts, how could Louise uncover the mystery she had been searching for?

"Why did you leave so soon, brother? If you're still here, maybe it's all a lot easier" Louise said.

Louise looked at the photo of her sister she had placed on the desk. There was as much longing as came whack, but what could he do to see someone who had already gone to heaven. Should he also die in order to meet her?

No. gabe.

Louise is not that crazy. Louise must stay alive, at least until her greatest wish is achieved, which is to find the person. Strangers who make the lives of people around him become very messy.

Haus. .

Haus. .

Haus. .

The sound of the door being knocked from outside.

"Come in" replied Louise.

It was William, the one who had so many posts by his side, and for sure he was a loyal person.

William was the son Louise's parents picked up as an infant. He is more or less the same age as his younger brother, Juan Matthew. But even though William never called Louise an older sister and Louise, he never called William a younger brother.

In this company, William became the second most important person after Louise with the position of COO in his hands. That is enough to make thousands of women compete to get love, especially with the face that can not be called just by the word handsome.

"Mama said your phone couldn't be reached" William said straight to the point.

"I forgot to turn on my phone" replied Louise.

"Mama wants you to visit Old Lady. Because ever since we got back, you haven't seen her yet" William explained.

"Don't call her that, she's your grandmother, too" Louise protested.

"I know" replied William.

"Please get people to get a car ready for me, I'll go alone" Louise asked.

"But,-"

"You stay here. I believe you," Louise said with a smile.

"When working and being in the company, I was your assistant" William replied.

"As far as you go!"

"I'll call you as soon as the car is ready, get your phone back on. One more thing, mama wants you to buy flowers to give to grandma, I'm leaving now!" william replied quickly while waving his hand.

"Hey Will's! Who's the boss here? Why do you rule me as well as you do?" joking Louise, but not by William.

Actually, William was smiling as he walked back to Louise. They had lived together for a very long time but William had never seen Louise become what she is today. Looks like something good happened to him. As Louise became a little more open, a little more relaxed and easier to obey her orders. The old Louise, where might she submit to him?

"Could Louise have changed because of her encounter with the boy she told me about a few days ago?" inner William.

William remembers very much how his spirit Louise when telling about her meeting with Oskar. Louise also plans to take William with her when she will meet Oskar one day.

How cute was the boy until he managed to bring back the smile that Louise had lost all those years ago?

Louise even framed a photo of Oskar and herself. Keep it in his desk drawer. Something Louise never did before.

"Alright, this is also good," William muttered alone.
