CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
CRD Come and Go as You Like

Joanna just looked at the screen of her cell phone that was lit because of a call from Arthur. Instead of answering, Joanna shifted the red color and deactivated it.

"Arthur, did Alexa tell you what I told her?" joanna said, "I'm sorry, this time I'm going to solve my own problems. It's not a big deal" said Joanna confidently.

Across the street of the fancy restaurant, Joanna prepared herself. Set his heart and mind to accept the swearing that might come out of Louise's mouth later. The man he had only known for a few days, but had success in taking up more space in his heart.

Status and caste, Joanna understood very well how far apart they were and that was what gave her more courage to put an end to it all immediately, "After I return this, everything should be fine," joanna said while looking at a tentengan containing a piece of Louise's suit that costs billions of rupiah.

Once again, Joanna increased her expectations. Looking at the night sky with a deep breath, hoping the stars shining up there help him. Hoping, Louise was giving her freedom after this.

"There's no point worrying about this right now. Since it's here, I can't back down anymore. Later, if Louise gets angry, I just have to listen to her. Then, if he kills me, then I'll just die. No problem, I did not bring Xiao O with me. So she'll be safe" joanna murmured as she stepped into a restaurant Louise had set out for.

"Ck, is he planning to bankrupt me before I die. How many tens of millions I have to spend to buy him a meal at this fancy restaurant" joanna grumbled.

"Miss Matthew?" greet the two bodyguards when they see Joanna approaching the entrance. They recognized Joanna because they had seen Joanna once when Joanna brought Louise to her village the other day.

"You guys talk to me?" joanna asked, "I'm not Miss Matthew" he continued. It seems Joanna forgot who those two were. Too many bodyguards, so how could Joanna remember that.

"Miss, Young Master Matthew asked us to greet you," said the bodyguard, "Let's show you the way!" continue the bodyguard without heeding Joanna's previous sentence.

Joanna followed the two bodyguards away. After a few minutes of walking, she saw Louise was already sitting sweetly in her place with the sound of music as a background.

"She, why is she getting so beautiful day by day?" louise's mind when she sees Joanna coming.

By wearing a dress under the knee is dark in contrast to his skin. Then let her hair loose with a medium-sized ribbon behind her make Joanna a maximum beauty like a princess from the kingdom.

"Darling, you're five minutes late. Tell me, what punishment do you want?" louise asked with her chin propped up as Joanna approached.

"Why are you so calculated?" ask Joanna. Then immediately sat down after a servant pulled out a chair and invited him.

"Do you know, in five minutes there's a lot I can get, especially when I'm with you" Louise said. Five minutes, rather than the time during which it was used to wait, wouldn't it be better to embrace her beloved Joanna?

"Don't think pervert. But I'm really sorry for being late" Joanna said.

"Come here!" louise Pinta.

"Why?" joanna did not understand. Just sat down, why should he get up again.

"Of course hugged me. Didn't you miss me, did you forget what you said a few days ago?" louise replied.

"Louise, I'm just kidding," explained Joanna, inserted with a thin, awkward smile. Of course she's lying, because she's actually starting to miss Louise, but is once again reminded by the fact that she's a nobody.

"Joanna, what do I feel for you always think of as a joke?" ask Louise.

"Louise, can you stop arguing with me?" ask Joanna.

"Could," answered Louise, then got up and approached Joanna. Pulling her hand out to Joanna to stand up from her seat and hugging her without asking for her approval, "I miss you" she said.

Joanna smiled faintly, enjoying Louise's kindness before she told her secret. This feeling, really made him feel comfortable. And maybe this is his last hug.

"Joanna, am I hugging a statue. Why don't you return my arms?" louise protested when Joanna was silent.

"What are you doing. Although this is the VIP room, so many of your bodyguards are looking. Aren't you ashamed?" ask Joanna.

"Why should be ashamed, just a hug should not matter. They support us anyway. Wait, what do you mean just now. Did you just say I'm free to hug you if no one's watching?" answer Louise. Instead of letting go, but instead hugged tightly and took a deep sip of Joanna's scent.

"Louise, that's not what I meant. Why do you always misunderstand?" joanna said, then encouraged Louise, who still wanted to hug her, "I didn't just come here to buy you food. But to return your suit, too," said Joanna, handing over the item she had placed on the chair next to her.

"Don't I say I don't have to give it back?" said Louise.

"Where can that be. Here, I'll give it back to you. Thank you for helping me at the time" Joanna said. Take Louise's hand and force her to take back her suit.

With no choice, Louise takes back the suit. But immediately put it in origin after seeing a light scratch on Joanna's hand, "What are you doing. Why would you get hurt like this?" ask Louise.

"I'm less careful when making cakes. Don't worry, it's just a small wound" replied Joanna.

"Kue?" ask Louise.

Joanna nodded, "That's my job."

"I thought you made it for me. Joanna, I just found out you're so stingy. Why don't you bring some for me?" ask Louise.

"Do you want to try it?" answer Joanna.

"of course. I can eat whatever you give me. But, if during the making it can hurt you or make you tired, I choose to buy it somewhere else to eat with you" Louise said.

"Oh, really?" ask Joanna.

"Eum. Joanna, stop working!" louise Pinta.

"What are you saying. Do you think I don't need money to live?" ask Joanna.

"Joanna, I'm not short of money. I can give you as much as you want. So marry me, when I'm my wife your only job is to spend my money" Louise asked.

"I think it's fun, someone who's going to be your wife must be very lucky" Joanna said.

"Don't joke, that person is you, not the other one" Louise said, confirming Joanna's earrings had been stuck in her hair.

"Louise, I want to sit down. Aren't you tired of standing still?" ask Joanna.

"Tired? We've only been standing for five minutes. Did you never have a ceremony at school?" ask Louise.

"I forgot" replied Joanna.

"Alright, then sit down and order whatever you want" Louise asked.

"What are you saying. I told you I would treat you. So order whatever you want" protested Joanna.

"Why did you refuse me to pick you up?" ask Louise.

"I can come here by myself, Louise!" answer Joanna.

Joanna who was sitting in front of Louise at the moment seemed a little different from before, making Louise a little distracted. Something must be wrong, that's how he feels. Especially when Joanna said there was something she wanted to say. Louise's been waiting, but Joanna hasn't said it yet. Did he forget?

"Why see me like that?" ask Joanna.

"No" replied Louise.

Incidentally, the menu they ordered started to arrive and filled the round table.

"May I start eating, I'm hungry" Louise said. Trying to ignore his bad prejudices. After all, the food will get colder if it is not eaten immediately.

"Of course, they're bought to eat, Louise."

Thirty minutes passed, they ate without making a sound even though they had left the restaurant and had now been sitting together by the sandy beach.

In the presence of the pounding waves of the beach, and the breeze of the night, should create a romantic atmosphere like other couples along the beach. But, not with Joanna and Louise who are still both silent. They are in the same place, but busy with their own world. Louise who is still faithful waits for what Joanna wants to say, and Joanna who still gathers her courage to say.

From where she sat, Louise felt that something was wrong. His gut said there would be bad things. Because from a distance, he vaguely saw a woman and some men whispering to a small child and pointing towards Joanna after giving some kind of instruction, "Bothering my Joann, really looking to die," his inner self

Sure enough, not long ago a child the age of Oskar was approaching. Show Joanna the acting of the nelangsa as if she lost her mother and asked Joanna to help her. Joanna was touched, imagining what if Oskar experienced something like this. That's why he got up, but was held back by Louise, "Don't go!"

"Louise, she lost her mother."

"There are so many people here, why should you help her?" ask Louise. Still sitting casually, but his hand held Joanna's arm and asked her to sit back.

"Louise, he's just a kid. What, you don't pity?" ask Joanna.

"No!" answer Louise briefly.

"Louise!" mumbling Joanna.

Joanna couldn't believe what Louise was doing. Refusing to help a little boy who lost his mother on the beach these nights. Although Louise called the officers instead and handed the boy over to them, it still made the courage Joanna gathered evaporate somewhere.

"Louise?" call Joanna slow.

"Hm," Louise replied briefly, turning to Joanna and giving her an affectionate look.

"What, you don't like kids?" ask Joanna.

"You think?" ask Louise back.

"Looks, you don't like children" replied Joanna.

"Yes, I didn't like kids before. But lately there's one child I like. He is very cute, about five years old and very handsome. Do you want to see it, you'll love it later" asked Louise.

"I don't want to!" answer Joanna.

"So, don't you like kids, too?" ask Louise.

Joanna didn't answer Louise's question. Children huh? Of course Joanna likes it. But, why would Joanna have to meet the kid that Louise likes. He already has it, his sweet little Oskar. That child, forever the funniest and adorable in Joanna's eyes.

"Louise, I have something to say" Joanna said later.

"I've been waiting for him since that day, but you haven't said it. I thought you forgot" replied Louise.

"I'm not forgetting, it's just that I'm afraid you're going to get angry" Joanna said.

"I'd be even more upset if you delayed it any longer" Louise said.

Actually Joanna was ready, eager to say that she had a child. But her tongue gets stiff when Louise says she doesn't like children other than the one Louise told her about. So that comes out of his mouth is another sentence, "I have fulfilled the promise of buying you a meal, right?" ask Joanna.

"Eum" replied Louise.

"We don't owe each other anymore" said Joanna.

Louise didn't answer anything because she didn't understand what Joanna meant by saying that, "Then?"

"It's time to end it all" replied Joanna.

"Can you explain the point?" ask Louise.

"Well, we don't have to see each other again in the future" replied Joanna.

"Why?" ask Louise.

"Because our business is done, don't you think?" answer Joanna.

"Is this all you want to say?" ask Louise.

"Eum, that's it" replied Joanna.

After the conversation, the two of them kept quiet. Digesting what just happened. Louise, she's convinced there's another reason Joanna didn't tell her. While Joanna, she was relieved that it seemed like Louise was not bothering about it, "It seems like everything is going smoothly," her inner self.

"It's late, I'll be home now. Good night!" Joanna. She got up, tidied up her dress and prepared to leave.

"Joanna, do you think you can come and go as you please?" ask Louise.

Joanna turned around, looking back at Louise who was also already standing from her place, "Why can't she?" ask Joanna.
