Icha actually managed to cover up the already blue slap marks on her cheeks. Every time he took a bath, he used foundation to cover the marks perfectly. The swelling on her lips slowly began to fall.
Icha wants to maintain a good relationship between her husband and mother-in-law. If until Marco finds out if the tear in the corner of his lips because of the behavior of the mother, then it does not rule out the possibility Marco will immediately send him back to America and their relationship is increasingly stretched.
Until almost a month they were married, Icha had not understood what made mama Sania so disliked her. Even the middle-aged woman did not hesitate to slander Icha with unreasonable accusations.
The cup!
One kiss landed on his cheek. Frightened by the attitude of in-laws, making Icha unaware of the presence of Marco who just returned home to meet the Client. This time Marco did not invite him, only accompanied by Raymond because there are still many files that must be checked by Icha before being handed over to the CEO.
"Again to think about what?" Ask Marco. He wrapped his hands around Icha's stomach and put his chin on his wife's shoulder. They were enjoying the bustle of Jakarta from the balcony of Icha's private room.
"Nothing is." Icha said while hugging Marco's hand in his stomach. "For just now in front of the computer. That's why I came here to get some fresh air." Connect again. He rested his head on Marco's chest.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Marco's shirt while holding Icha. "There was an invitation from Mr. Albizar Adzam to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant. He had just come from Arabia and wanted to introduce his son who would replace him later in the business world." Marco is serious. "It just so happens that from the beginning this company was built by his grandfather, his parents were the first entrepreneurs who established a relationship with GT Corp. Until now it's down to its third generation." Beber Marco about one of GT Corp's business partners, a successful businessman from Saudi Arabia.
Icha just nodded in response to Marco's explanation. "Therefore, you should dress up beautifully because I will introduce you to our business partners. And..... " Electro lifts his index finger in front of Icha when his wife cuts him off. He knew, Icha would refuse to meet many people let alone successful entrepreneurs.
"No rejection, Marissa Lebrina." The firmness right in Icha's ears made his wife flinch and chuckle.
"Jewel..." Whine while hitting Marco's hand slowly.
"I've asked my friend to choose a beautiful dress for you. It just so happens that he's got a nice boutique here." Marco said then.
"No, I don't want to, baby. The dress in my closet is still a lot of new and I've never worn those dresses." Rapid Icha protest. He turned to face Marco. "I don't want to go if you buy another dress." Angry threat. She was singing the lips of a protest sign to her husband.
Marco laughed at his wife's childlike behavior, which again threatened his father for not being given candy.
"It can't be that protesting is important. Suppose you protest because I never buy'in you expensive diamonds, new dresses, new mansions." Marco's sluts are funny. "This is even a protest because it wants to buy a new dress." Recite laugh. "All women like to be bought expensive dresses, even you refuse."
Icha stared at Marco. Upset at being laughed at by a husband.
"Well, you have to buy a new one, while the old one is still a lot of unused and still very good?" Icha asked. "Mending money we use a school of street children who may only be able to eat once a day." Seriously next. "I don't need expensive clothes, I don't need expensive diamonds, baby. Expensive and cheap the function remains the same, right?" Icha wrapped her hands around Marco's waist. "Marry you, spend the days with you, serve you as a wife, accompany you as a work partner and always be by your side, it's enough and it's the most precious and most expensive thing in my life. It cannot be replaced by anything in this world. I don't want expensive stuff, honey. I want you to stay by my side forever." Icha's expression stunned Marco without a sound. Icha who saw her bewildered husband immediately gave a brief kiss on her lips.
Marco smiled at the happy smile on his wife's face.
"Thank you for being such an amazing wife." Marco said slowly. Icha nodded happily. He placed his head on Marco's chest and tightly embraced the man he loved dearly. Marco gave a lot of kisses on the head and forehead of Icha to express gratitude to his wife.
"It's 3 o'clock, baby.. Can you go home?" Ask Icha. He raised his head to look at Marco.
"Why come home?" Marco asked in wonder.
"Pengen istrahat, yaaang." Whimpering. Marco was always helpless if this woman began to whine with her powerful voice.
"All right, we're going home. Let's ask Raymond for permission first." Icha laughed at Marco's words. Where there is a boss ask permission from subordinates. It is different with Marco. He did not regard Raymond as a subordinate but as a co-worker. Because, without Raymond, not necessarily Marco can live a company of this magnitude.
Marco clasped Icha's hand out of the room. Icha tidied up all at her desk, while Marco went back to the study and called Raymond in.
"Yes, sir..." Say hello to Ray after being in front of Marco.
"I'll let you go home first. You stay here until work hours are over." Marco said. Raymond nodded respectfully.
"Good, sir... Please. After all, all the work was done from noon." Raymond was polite.
Marco clasped Icha's hand and was about to take her up the elevator.
"Sir.. a minute." Raymond held Marco.
"What's wrong?" Ask Marco.
"Sorry. There's Miss Valencia in the lobby. He wants to see you, sir. I'm just on the receptionist's phone." Said Raymond quietly while glancing at Icha. He was afraid to offend his young lady. "Did I allow him here, sir?" Ask Raymond.
"no need. Just leave him in the lobby. I'll meet him there." Marco invites Icha into the elevator to get down to the lobby.
"Trust me." Whisper Marco while kissing Icha's hand. He did not want to hurt his wife.
"I believe it, baby..." Icha convinced Marco. He hugged Marco's arm while in the elevator until the elevator opened.
Icha is a little nervous. Because, for a month married not much to know about their relationship. Marco clasped Icha's hand out of the elevator to the VIP room of the lobby. All eyes are on this couple. Some whispered because they saw Marco's hand. Many incredulous eyes saw the affection of the leader and his secretary.
"Sir.you are waiting for Miss Valencia." A receptionist immediately approached Marco to notify Valencia of his presence.
"Why not let him into my room?" Marco asked the receptionist. He kept holding Icha's hand.
"It is forbidden by Mr. Raymond, sir..." Answer the girl respectfully. Marco smiled cynically. He knew Raymond wouldn't let his ex-fiance meet him upstairs.
"good. You can go back to work." Marco's orders. The girl looked down respectfully and glimpsed at Icha and went down at the grasp of their hands. His face was confused at the thought of the relationship between the CEO, the secretary and the CEO's fiancee.
Marco walked towards the waiting room where Valencia was.
"What are you here for?" Marco's bass voice resuscitated Valencia who was seriously fiddling with a mobile phone. He flipped over and was stunned to see Marco hugging Icha's waist possessively. He swallowed a salivary that felt dry in the throat. He still does not believe, Marco who used to love him so much was able to forget him so quickly.
Marco stared intently at the long-silent Valencia and was only stunned to look at him and Icha.
"Eh. emm. ma-ma-sorry." The super sexy model became the wrong behavior to see the gaze of Marco which is no longer a gaze full of love, but a look of hatred.
"What's the need here?" Ask Marco again.
"I want to apologize." Said slowly. He looked down not strong enough to hold Marco's gaze. "I was wrong.."
"Honey. invite Valencia to sit first. We can have a good conversation." Icha's soft speech calmed down Marco's already angry heart. He recalled the incident where this sexy woman sent a photo to Icha to ruin his relationship and Icha.
Marco saw Icha at a glance. He held his wife's hand and took her to sit down. He did not allow Valencia to sit down.
"Please sit down, Val." Icha let Valencia sit down. The woman stared dislikefully at Icha and immediately sat opposite Marco and Icha.
"Now tell me what do you need here?" Marco's flat voice sounded creepy in Valencia's ears.
"I...." Valencia was confused about where to start. Plus the prestige in him to apologize. Apologizing? For?
"I want to apologize." He muttered quickly and continued to bow.
"For?" Marco's questioning intimidated. He who was initially sitting leaned back, straightened his back and looked coldly at Valencia.
"emmm. I. I've sent our picture to your wife." Valencia was embarrassed. Not ashamed of doing bad things, but ashamed that he had to be helpless before Icha.
"Then?" Marco asked as if he did not understand.
"Yaaa. I don't mean anything anyway." Kill Valencia. "Why did you shut down my modeling career?" Accuse Valencia of making Icha keget and spontaneously see Marco who is still sitting casually. "The hate where I've been all this time suddenly broke my contract with me." Valencian exclaims with teary eyes. "When you know being a model is my dream, Marco."
Marco leaned back, Tanya holding her legs and folding her hands to her chest. He looked hard at Valencia. Not a single hint of pity for the woman had ever filled his heart.
"What's your model career with me?" Marco asked who was beginning to understand what was happening.
"I promise I won't interfere with your relationship with Marissa again. But, please give me my career back." He cupped both hands in his chest asking for mercy on Marco.
"If you break it, what consequences will you have?" Fresh Marco flat. "Oh. I know," he said again. "if you still disturb our relationship, then not only your career is ruined but your father's career will also be leveled with the ground. So that you and your family can duck a little. Don't just raise your head without looking down." Marco's threatening is full of emphasis.
Not wanting to linger in the room, Marco immediately grabbed Icha's hand and invited her home. Valencia could only see the departure of the two lovebirds with resentment and anger.
"I won't repay you. But, I will use that stupid mommy of yours to ruin your life." Cynic Valencia murmur. He immediately left the place.
While in the car, Marco was embracing and leaning Icha's head to his chest.
"Why silence from now on?" Marco asked softly. Since coming out of the lobby, Icha just fell silent in Marco's arms.
"Why did you avenge Valencia?" Icha asked back.
Marco laughed a little. He kissed Icha's head. Swiping darling wife's arm.
"Listen...I also just found out from the mouth of Valencia that his career was ruined because of disturbing you with the delivery of his photo." Marco's words shocked Icha. He frowned not understanding. He distanced his body from Marco's embrace and looked at Marco for an explanation.
"meaning?" Ask Icha curious.
"Yes, I also just found out from Valencia, baby." Marco smiled. He was happy to see Icha's confused face.
"Trus meant Valencia what?" Cecar Icha again.
"Yes, you heard it yourself." Marco answered casually.
"Come on. You don't confuse me dong." Rengek Icha was annoyed on his own with Marco's answer which seemed to have deliberately confused him.
Marco laughed at Icha's behavior. She pulled the woman in her arms.
"Listen...I never interrupted his career even though I wanted so badly to destroy not only his career but his life as well so that he would stop bothering you. But it was you yourself who asked me not to take revenge on him, right? And I'm doing want you. I really don't repay him for what he did to you." Marco's light is at length. "But that's not the case for Raymond and Berry either. They won't stay silent to see me or grandfather or our loved ones being bullied let alone get hurt." Obviously now it was not her husband who made Valencia come and apologise.
"Can't you?" Ask Icha wonder.
"They're loyal and responsible assistants." Answer Marco. "So, I'm not the one who replied to Valencia. It was an act between Raymond or Berry." Marco smiled as Icha looked at him.
"What about Valencia, baby? Cassian she is." Icha is sad.
"Ck... You forgot what he did until our relationship almost fell apart?" Timpal Marco doesn't like it. "Let him feel that what he has done is wrong and there are consequences."
Icha speechless. True too, said her husband. Valencia must know that every act that harms others must have consequences.
