GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 397. ESCAPED
Meanwhile, not far from the residence Harimurti saw a woman wearing a hoodie and a hat, her face covered with a mask. He was walking around and as he was about to reach the crossroads a taxi was heading towards him.
“Hei stop!” the woman immediately stopped the taxi while stretching out her hands. When the taxi stopped, the woman got into the taxi.
“Street sir!” he made the taxi driver confused and just froze.
“Where are you miss?” the taxi driver looked at the woman sharply.
“I was just chased by kidnappers so I messed up like this and did not wear shoes because it was fitting to run my shoes apart! Please take me to this address.” said the woman showed the paper on which written a boutique address.
Although somewhat confused, the taxi driver drove his vehicle after being promised to be given extra money because it had helped. Thirty minutes later the taxi stopped in front of an expensive boutique.
The woman offered a sum of money that made the driver's eyes widen. This was his first passenger this morning but he instead got a windfall.
“Thank you sir. Please if someone later asks the father whether to see me or how...just say do not know yes sir.” he pleaded with a clear face. Seeing the innocent and honest facial expression of the woman, the taxi driver could not refuse.
“Good. Take it easy, lady, I won't say anything. Is miss safe here?”
“I'll meet my friend, I don't have a phone but his office is not far from here.”
“Oh so. All right, miss be careful ya.”
“Iya sir. Once again thank you.” the woman immediately turned and ran towards the small road beside the boutique. Then he hid between the hedges watching the streets.
After making sure no one followed her and the surroundings were safe, the woman walked to the back of the boutique and knocked on the door. The door opened and he went in.
“What's wrong with you? Why do I have to sneak around when I come here like a thief?”
“Have not asked much. Now I want to take a shower first.”
“Joana, what's wrong with you? Why does your body smell like it burns?”
Joana didn't answer but she went straight to the bathroom. Before entering the bathroom he looked back and said,
“Grace! Please just get my clothes ready! I'll explain it to you later. Arimbi's wedding party will start at ten.”
“Take it easy! I've prepared everything. By the way, did Mr Dion know you were here?”
Again Joana was silent and immediately closed the bathroom door. Yes, the woman was Joana who managed to escape from the Harimurti residence. Joana, who is like a detective, managed to trick everyone in Dion's house by setting her room on fire.
Arimbi who was upset after hearing Joana's explanation was planning something. Both ideas are crazy! Makes Joana seem to die in a fire at Dion's house. To teach that man a lesson. Although it was a bit terrible because it meant Joana had to play with fire but she was not afraid and determined to do so.
Ten minutes later Joana comes out of the bathroom and finds Grace already holding a dress for Joana. The two get ready, Grace, the owner of Joana's boutique, deftly helps her wear the dress and face mask that Arimbi has prepared for her. That way Dion and his men won't be able to find Joana.
“Joana! You are completely insane! Aren't you afraid that Mr. Harimurti will catch you?” grace asked as she put on Joana's face. Grace even locked the room and none of her staff knew Joana was in the room.
“Leave it! That jerk needs to be taught a lesson! Arimbi and I have been friends for a long time, he can not arbitrarily forbid me to come to my best friend's wedding party.”
“Ck! I don't know what to say Joana! Are you lucky or unlucky!” grace chuckled. “Many women want Mr. Emir and Mr. Harimurti because they are rich and handsome. But look, you two got it! Do you hate that guy Joana?” ask Grace again who is curious.
Grace, a beautiful woman from a rich family, is single because she has difficulty finding a partner who is the same level as her family. Grace is also not a woman who gets along easily with anyone. He felt uncomfortable hanging out with other rich women who he thought were haughty and arrogant. Only with Joana did she feel comfortable.
Their meeting began when Grace returned from overseas and opened a boutique. She is a famous designer and makeup artist abroad. But his family asked him to come back because he was worried about his only daughter living alone abroad. Since getting to know Joana, the two are instantly familiar. Grace had met Arimbi once.
“Grace! I think I'm lucky and also unlucky!” joana pursed her lips.
“Hahahaha....are you not the one who is reckless to take the photo first? Then why do you now seem to regret accepting Mr. Harimurti's proposal?”
“I ask you, do you like Mr Harimurti?” joana asked turning the question to Grace who immediately laughed while holding her stomach.
“Joana…..Joana. I like a handsome guy but he's not my type. I don't like cold and haughty men like him.” Grace said.
“So, what kind of man do you like? Is my brother Ruben the type of guy you like?” joana asked with a smile looking at Grace who immediately fluttered.
Ruben was indeed a handsome man and his demeanor was gentle. Joana knew that Grace seemed to have a heart for her brother because when Ruben drove Joana to Grace's boutique first, she could see Grace's expression and dazzled eyes staring at Ruben.
“Why are you even carrying the name Ruben?”
“I'm just asking? You said you didn't like the cold, haughty type of guy like Emir and Dion! What about guys like Ruben? I think my brother is very gentle and friendly, even so he is not carelessly close to women. In fact at his age who now he just had a girlfriend.”
Joana purposely said it gave little information to Grace and promoted her older brother. Joana hopes Grace likes Ruben because she thinks Grace is a kind and humble woman even though she comes from a rich family.
“Already.....already! Your makeup is done. Now we're off!’ grace diverted the conversation. He tidied up his gear and took a small bag.
“Let me just drive let us get there fast.” said Joana snatch the car keys from Grace's hand. “I don't want to be late to my best friend's wedding.”
Grace could only shake her head and then they came out through the back door. Grace parked her car near a small street next to the boutique. The area is a small park.
