It has not been two months since their agreement. Jeremy never tried to kill Emily again, though Clarissa still didn't like him. The girl still doesn't want to study with Emily. He asked Pak Wawan who taught him.
However, Emily is not too dizzy. He let Clarissa do what she wanted.
Today, Jeremy invited Emily to attend the opening ceremony of one of his company's branches. During these two months, Jeremy has really done his part well as a kind, patient and understanding husband. The proof alone, at this time, he deliberately ordered and wore clothes that paired with Emily.
Since their visit to the Shop and Boutique built by Emily, the media reported good news about her. This made Jeremy even more admired by many people. In the car, Emily sighed many times.
"What are you thinking?" jeremy, who couldn't stand Emily's attitude, made the girl look at her.
'I just thought, would Clarissa like it if you took me and not her?' cue Emily.
During these two months, Jeremy has been studying sign language in earnest, and it turns out that it's not that difficult. Now he doesn't need anyone else to translate the signal Emily made.
"You don't have to think about that" Jeremy said indifferently.
'Don't you think about it? Jeremy, you know for yourself that Clarissa still doesn't want to get close to me. This will be a problem because he continues to think of me as a rival, not his cousin's brother. I'm just warning you, other people will suspect your relationship with Clarissa if she doesn't want to get close to me. Did you tell him that there was nothing between us so he didn't have to worry?' emily's gesture was long, and she gasped for breath at her words.
Jeremy was silent for a moment thinking about Emily's words, then said,
"You think too much."
'What?'
"Yes, you think too much. Emily, you didn't forget about your current position, did you? I admit, using you to draw the likes and sympathies of the people out there is indeed beneficial to me. But that doesn't mean you can manage Clarissa as you please" Jeremy said.
"There's no need to think about what other people think of me and Clarissa. We just need to show that our relationship is okay. That's enough. After all Clarissa will also be there as a guest."more firmly.
Hearing this, Emily could only sigh again.
'Alright. I understand.' the signal.

Clarissa had left by the driver and arrived first at the place where Jeremy and Emily were going. He was instantly recognized as a cousin of Emily, and invited to join the socialite women who liked to lick each other.
There also appears Jeremy's half-sister, twins Adriana and Indriana. Despite not liking Clarissa, they try not to show it
"Clarissa, you're so lucky to be Miss Emily's cousin. She's very pretty and smart. I'm sure, if she wasn't mute, she would be a really great woman." said Bella, one of the women.
"You're right, Cindy. Mr. Jeremy is a real man who is very affectionate and considerate of his wife. He always treated his wife very gently. I've never heard rumors about Mr. Jeremy with another woman. He's a really loyal man. Miss Emily too, even though she's mute, she's a very generous woman. He loves to help people in trouble. I really hope they last forever." said Kayla, who wears a red dress.
They kept talking about Jeremy and Emily's kindness. Clarissa doesn't like to hear that. But it seemed that these women were unwilling to give him the chance to speak at all. They continue to praise Jeremy and Emily as a compatible couple. Clarissa was very unhappy to hear that.
Adriana and Indriana smiled with satisfaction at Clarissa's expression. They are still suspicious of the relationship between Clarissa and Jeremy, but have no evidence to expose it.
Before long, the car Jeremy and Emily were riding in arrived there. Everyone stood up to welcome their arrival, not least Clarissa.
Clarissa clenched her hand as she saw Jeremy holding Emily's hand and taking the woman to a seat prepared especially for them.
Clarissa was very unwilling to see the two of them so close, yet she tried her best to be calm.
Clarissa almost cried. Jeremy didn't even turn his head to look and greet her.
Does that man no longer need himself? Has the man changed his mind and thought Emily was better than him? Thinking about this added to the whispers he heard about the husband and wife's harmonious relationship, made Clarissa become anxious and her face pale and sweaty.
"Clarissa, what's up?" ask Bella who is right next to him, when she sees the change in Emily's face that looks not good.
Clarissa held his head. Suddenly he felt dizzy. Is this the effect of his anxiety?
"Clarissa!" call Bella and Cindy together while holding Clarissa's staggered body.
Their voices caught the attention of the people, especially Emily who was in front. Clarissa looks really unhealthy. Emily rushed to him. Jeremy put on a face.
'What's up?' cue Emily asked.
"I don't know, I'm suddenly dizzy" replied Clarissa weakly, in fact she wished Jeremy had come to her, but that was impossible. Because that man is keeping his reputation. Especially in front of his friends and colleagues.
Emily looked around. Clarissa is dizzy from being uncomfortable in a crowded place or because of her proximity to Jeremy? Wasn't he okay, so why was he suddenly like this? Emily knew this girl was a very jealous person.
'Are you sick?' cue Emily while checking Clarissa's temperature by touching her forehead. Not hot, it feels very cold.
'I'll take him to rest in the car. You stay here and continue the show. Don't let down those who are already here cue Emily to Jeremy who approaches them.
Jeremy nodded. It has been two months that she has known the character of Emily. With her gentle personality, Emily is unlikely to do anything that would hurt Clarissa. After all, he could not let Clarissa alone wait in the car under such circumstances.
Jeremy calls his two bodyguards to watch over Clarissa and Emily.
