Getting Married for Lying
048 - What's wrong with me?

Ploc.. Ploc..

Applause from everyone who is currently watching the launch of the latest products from the Amoreus cosmetics brand. The event, which took place in a luxury hotel auditorium, was attended by guests from various walks of life, ranging from business people, celebrities of the homeland, models, journalists, to the ranks of beauty influencers.

The ranks of celebrities who became brand ambassadors did not escape the rain of flash of blitz lights that perpetuate the moment. The models pose to show off the cosmetic products they wear and the beauty influencers are busy observing the products launched.

"Skin care products from Amoreus are a great choice for any woman who wants to take care of their beauty."

the CEO of Amoreus Corp, Jovy Haguna, gave a briefing to reporters who were busy covering. The burgundy suit-fitting man looked formal with his long hair neatly tied back.

"Of course I really hope that this latest product from Amoreus can be accepted by all circles!" concluded.

"Congratulations on the latest product launch from Amoreus yes, Jovy."

"'Congratulations and continued success for Amoreus."

Congratulations flowed one by one from the guests to Jovy and the Amoreus team.

The attention of the reporters was shaken when they heard the hysterical screams of the women. The handsome figure who always attracted attention was a friendly smile, showing off a charming smile that no one could resist.

"Vier!"

"Vier!"

Vier's presence instantly became the hysteria of the women. Mike swiftly blocked the women who seemed to be about to hit Vier.

The reporters immediately approached Vier and Mike. Of course, they all want to hear the opinion of OMG cosmetics brand owners who often compete with Amoreus. It is a very interesting competition for news hunters.

"Welcome, Mr. Vier. Are you here to support Amoreus?"

"Sir Vier, what is your response to the latest product from Amoreus?"

The reporters immediately flocked Vier with questions that Vier had not even heard.

"Journalists, thank you for the attention of all colleagues. It should be underlined that my arrival here is to fulfill the invitation as a representative of the OMG brand," Vier gave a diplomatic answer.

A brilliant smile that showed off his rows of white and neat teeth adorned his handsome face.

"So, what about the OMG brand itself, is there going to be a new product launch soon?" ask one of the reporters.

"The team from OMG is currently working hard to meet the expectations of consumers, we do not want to disappoint consumers of our products" said Vier.

"Alright, I think all I can say, please enjoy the show," Vier said goodbye.

Vier and Mike's steps stop when Jovy Haguna approaches them.

"Thank you for coming to meet my invitation, Vier," Jovy commented with a friendly smile.

Vier welcomes Jovy's hand, they shake hands while looking at each other.

"I'm certainly happy to meet your invitation, Jovy," said Vier.

Vier had known Jovy when they both went to college in America. They take the same major and often compete with each other to prove who is better among them.

Vier was really upset at Jovy who he considered always following what he did. Meanwhile for Jovy, what he did was always followed by Vier.

"Oh yes, Jovy, I hope Amoreus has the latest breakthrough in every product launched. I don't know what the Amoreus product development team did so that the products launched mostly seem to just follow the products of other brands," Vier threw criticism at Jovy.

"Hmm, thanks for the advice you gave me, Vier. It's just that Amoreus products have better quality than other brands, even out there many parties who use it to make Amoreus imitation products," said Jovy defended himself.

"Oh well, I really don't know if I should praise or feel sorry for the name of Amoreus must be smeared with the existence of artificial products. Well, that's how life is. When a copycat experiences imitation, it may be what is referred to as the law of nature" Vier reviews his signature grin.

Jovy tried to keep his facial expression from showing annoyance at Vier's accusations.

"Oh, hi, Vier!"

A woman appears and greets Vier.  Vier frowned, looking at the figure of a foreign-looking woman instantly made a gesture of wanting to hug her.

Vier reached out his hand as a form of refusal to perform the cuddling ritual while making a splash.

"Vier, do you really not recognize me? It's me, Niki."

The woman welcomed Vier's hand and shook it enthusiastically.

"'Haha, my goodness, Vier, you are so adoring to me!" Niki laughs.

Niki is a lover who Jovy has dated for almost a year. Women who have a hobby to improve their appearance to resemble a doll. Recently Niki had surgery on the enlargement of her twin assets. Niki even had an operation to smooth her face.

Jovy doesn't actually approve of Niki's change in appearance. But Niki insists on making many changes to look more beautiful.

"Niki, your ex-lover, sir," whispered Mike.

"Oh, really?" Vier was trying to remember the woman.

Niki put on an unusually happy expression, both of her eyes twinkling at Vier's presence.

"You really look amazingly beautiful. You're like the Kardashian brothers" said Vier.

"Haha, of course I'm even prettier than them" Niki said confidently.

Do you regret breaking up with me now, Vier? Inner Niki.

"Oh yeah, Vier, by the way me and Jovy are planning to get married" Niki said.

"really? I congratulate you both" said Vier.

"Are you really not jealous?" ask Niki again.

"Jealous? Haha," Vier laughed crisply.

"I really hope you're jealous, Vier, haha," Niki replied.

"Niki, enough," cut Jovy. "There's no need to talk about personal issues at events like this" Jovy continued.

The atmosphere immediately stiffened until Jovy's secretary approached them.

"I'm sorry, Vier, next time we talk again, please enjoy the show" Jovy said.

Jovy rushes away, Niki follows Jovy's steps.

"It's a good thing you broke up with Niki, Mr. Vier," Mike said.

"Haha, I don't even remember ever dating her, Mike," said Vier grinning.

Yes, your relationship with Niki is too short that you don't remember it, Inner Mike.

"Alright, now it's time for you to get on with your work, Sir," Mike reminded.

Vier rushes off with Mike to resume some work he has to do.

Vier's eyes were fixed on the figure of the woman with dark skin and long hair who happened to be passing before him.

"Vaya!" exclaim Vier.

Half-run he blocked the woman's steps. The woman was shocked as soon as she saw the figure of a handsome man blocking her steps.

"Eh, sorry," Vier was surprised.

The woman he was chasing was not Vaya. It just looks like Vaya.

"Oh, sorry!" said Vier.

The woman still couldn't take her eyes off Vier.

"Sir Vier!"

Mike stepped quickly towards Vier who looked like a dazed person.

"What's up, sir? Why did you suddenly run like that?" ask Mike to be surprised.

Vier still looks blank, nowadays all the dark-skinned women with long hair that strung together make them all look like Vaya.

Shit, why am I thinking about Vaya? What's wrong with me?
