Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 38

Edward pulled me into a room that contained bookshelves and tables and chairs, and there was a sofa. It looks like there's a study at home.

"Sit down."

"What the hell is Om. Can't just take the phone later. I'm afraid Lila's suspicious" I said. I'm really pounding right now, like a thief who's afraid of being discovered.

Edward looked at me sharply. I sat down as he told me. In the chair in front of him.

"Did Lila say something to you?"

It seems that Edward also knew about the woman who complained to Lila.

I'm nodding. "She said her mother reported that her papa had a lover."

"What did Lila say?"

"He doesn't believe, he says Om can't break a promise" I said.

"Good, it's not time he found out. I have one more mission for you."

"What is Om?" I started to worry, it doesn't seem easy this time.

"We have to help me convince Lila that stepmother isn't all that creepy. I won't change if I get married again. It can."

"Well, but why am I. Why not by yourself. Is Om already a candidate, then better introduced to Lila so they get to know each other, at least can be friends first. Om's candidates should have persuaded Lila."

"Who said I already have a candidate. Nothing, I just want Lila to open up to someone else first before looking for a future wife."

"All right, I'll try but I don't promise I'll make it. Then I'll go back to Lila's room now, before she gets suspicious." I got up from the chair but Edward held me back.

"Wait!"

"Yes. Does anyone want to talk about it again."

"Tomorrow at night come to the apartment" he said.

"Is there a show tomorrow night ?" my many.

"All right, I'll come tomorrow. Then excuse me, Om."

Luckily I was back before Lila went back to the room. My heart almost jumped out of fear. If Lila finds out I met her papa, I have to find out what reason. Huh.

"Sorry, I asked aunt to prepare a snack too."

"It's okay, Lil. But you're so far behind on the drama."

"It's okay, I'll watch it again."

That night I survived. Actually as long as we just meet outside, it will be safe. But sometimes, that guy likes to make me hang.

...

Tomorrow night comes. From Lila's house. I went straight to Om Edward's apartment. Luckily Lila believed it when I said I wanted to go home right after it was over and didn't ask much.

Arriving in front of the apartment, I immediately entered the code that Edward sent via message.

Clamps. The door opened after I entered the code. Rich people apartments are different, no need to carry keys anywhere.

"Nr ...." I'm looking for the whereabouts of that man. There is no living room. Maybe it's in the room. I decided to wait in the living room.

Not long after, we heard footsteps. Edward came out of the other room. Not the room I was in at the time.

"Have you come?"

"Yes, now what should I do Om?" my many.

"There's no need to hurry, just sit down. Soon there will be a food delivery. I'll finish my job for a minute."

"Ehhh we're having dinner at home? Is it not going?"

"I didn't say I was leaving. You just have to keep me company tonight. You want to take a shower or change your clothes, just take it in my room."

"Ah yes." I shrugged to two shoulders, confused myself with what the man was doing. He asked me to come just to be with him. Why doesn't he just go home and have dinner with Lila.
