Lady'S Gentleman
it's just Business

"Gee... Thank you for considering me a goddess... What good is it for me to be a goddess if you reject me" Milady said.

Sebastian breathed a heavy sigh.

"My priority right now is Trevor." said the man.

"I love you too... But, I hope you don't bring back the past." Sebastian lifted his face. The look on his face looked pusillar into Milady's eyes straight away.

"If you refuse an offer to marry Trevor, I'll find another one. If I need to, I'm going to follow Trevor with all the women in the world, see you or Ayumi."

"If I refuse an offer to Trevor, can we be together?" milady Fishing.

Sebastian thins his lips.

"You sure we can be together? I'll be dead soon, you know..."

Milagi grunts.

Then throw your face towards the park.

"You're still young... Can still pursue a career further, can still change partners. Right now my priority is not to find a partner anymore... That kind of desire was buried 10 years ago" Sebastian said.

"It's not because of me, is it...?" ask Milady quickly.

Sebastian just glanced at him while sipping coffee.

"Don't tell me you're getting impotent." said Milady again.

This time the man looked at her with annoyance.

Milady smiled ignorantly.

"It's good dong if not yet... Then you're still fit." Add the woman while grimacing.

"When do you want that?" Ask Sebastian.

Milady raised her eyebrows.

"What is that?" ask the woman.

Sebastian pointed at her with his chin. "That's a fake smile so..."

"Is there a problem with my fake smile?" ask Milady back.

Sebastian grunting. "You showed the truth about yourself in front of Trevor. Also...Bram and Dimas."

"Hm.. basic ngintip..." Milady insinuates her as Sebastian spies on her at the exhibition venue. "They're old friends." explains Milady.

"More than me?"

"And his business is not business, but personal..."

"So the business I've been in all this time is just business?" sebastian was offended.

"Yes. Then and now. Everything's business..." Milady smiled back

"We only have professional relationships, as you want. You're not who I am, are you... So don't protest with my smile..."

The woman's grin was countered with an icy gaze from Sebastian. The man sucked his cigar in silence.

He cannot argue.

Can't quibble...

"The payment for my hard work to lure Trevor...Hampers every Friday.not necessarily the big ones. What matters is there. I liked... Flowers, chocolates, cakes, perfumes, bags, shoes, jewelry, precious stones, watches, computer accessories, cute items, nice novels, latest games, Then... Video call from you on Saturday, wherever you are and whatever you do. We're required to video call. It's easy enough, right...?"

Milady said while spending her klapertart.

The woman then sipped her tea once in a breath and grabbed her bag.

"Still making the treatise, and your whereabouts now."

He approached Sebastian and kissed the man on the cheek.

Then smile sweetly and leave the room.

Leaving Sebastian in silence.

*****

The Japanese government has given us a signal to enter the exhibition area?" trevor asked that night when they finished their meeting.

Milady followed Trevor's steps with a slight run. They have to catch up for administrative management.

"Not yet, it's still difficult... They asked for guarantees of bank statements for a number of accounts and tax documents for Garnet Property. It may not be this month, Trev.." sizzled Milady.

Trevor walked with wide strides towards his room.

"Then, while waiting for bank information, we can focus on the seafront superblock in north Jakarta. Progress?"

Milady cleared his throat while scrolling his tablet to read the reports of contractors and their field workers.

The coastview landmark Garnet City One is at the top of the title.

"From the target of 300 tenants who will rent, about 140 tenants have completed payments for 1 year, 53 tenants for at least 5 years and the rest are still in installments per month. Then regarding the structural inequality that yesterday appeared in the media, reports from structural and geotechnical consultants that finwall and damper to be installed can reduce the slope to 98%..."

"We can't let that 2% risk be reduced to 0.01%?" sahut Trevor opened the door.

"Therefore they suggest to install Fiber Reinforced polymer."

"What's the advantage?"

"Strengthening the building column, can increase the strength up to 1.5 to 2x fold." said Milady.

Trevor checked his phone.

Then he mumbled indistinctly.

"Can you get to the location?"

"Can."

"Where are we consulting partners?"

"Thornton Tomasetti..."

"okay... I'm going to the bank to speed up the affidavit, you're going to coastview."

"Ready."

Trevor sat on the edge of his desk facing Milady who was busy with his tablet, sending a message to the field supervisor for his visit tomorrow morning.

The man folded both hands in front of his chest while observing Milady.

Then frowned at the shirt that Milady was wearing.

Oversize outfit is again booming at this time, but he feels familiar with the shirt.

And his belt... Limited edition but for men. As far as Trevor, who had a belt that was not an arbitrary person, because it cost almost as much as a luxury car. Something Milady couldn't possibly have.

"Why, Trev?"

"Ngga papa. Have you booked a ticket to Japan next week?"

"It has. But Bram has to be helped when we both don't exist. I want to give you a briefing on the secretaries and maybe Grace will be seconded to overtime."

Trevor agreed.

Then he breathed.

"Why Ayumi?" ask Milady. If Trevor had put on a look like that, it would have concerned Ayumi.

Milady and Bram have broken their behavior.

They've been dating for 10 years now. Falling awake has passed Trevor to maintain his relationship.

But Milady had just seen the results of the investigation before the meeting. After he met Sebastian, when he returned to the office, the man sent an email containing photos of Ayumi's investigation.

Another guy...

Not just one. There were 3 people who were intensely approaching Ayumi.

There are even seen often staying at Ayumi's apartment.

"Lately he's rarely been able to be contacted."

Milady just glanced at him.

"He's never been like this. Is he mad at me or something..."

Said the man again.

"... Give him time, Trev... She's pregnant and she's alone. It seems you have to hire someone to accompany her. As far as I know, pregnant women complain a lot."

"I've hired 2 people for a companion..."

"There's a report from them every day?"

Trevor nodded.

"Ayumi is fine. I love watching Korean dramas."

"Then let him be with his favorite thing..."

Trevor hasn't yet figured out Ayumi's behavior out there, Milady thought.

Milady and Sebastian somehow think the same.

Then Milady remembered something else.

"Trev. try to touch my hand." Milady extended her hand to Trevor.

Trevor caught his hand.

"Try putting your finger between my fingers."

Trevor cupped Milady's hand.

"What do you feel?" ask Milady.

Trevor tightened his eyebrows.

"There's not. You changed the new lotion? It feels normal." sizzled Trevor.

"Hm... Try to hug me." said Milady.

"Huh?" Trevor looked at her feeling strange. It's not usually Milady to ask for a hug. They last did so when the outcome of Milady's divorce trial was announced.

Milady shrugged his shoulders.

Trevor stood up and hugged her.

"Why you? Chaotic again?" ask Trevor.

"Hm... I'm trying to prove something." sizzled Milady.

"And that was?"

"Are you really phobic?"

Trevor's weird sound.

"Know from dad?" guess Trevor.

"Hm..." Milady acknowledged.

"Therefore you are chosen to be my future wife." guess Trevor again.

"It can be."

"Well..." Trevor took off his embrace. He sat down at his desk, facing Milady. "It takes a long time, to adjust to you. Moreover, the prettier the more I'm afraid..."

"So I'm not pretty?" milady Fishing.

"Quite the contrary. Don't you remember how I behaved when we first met?"Trevor.

Milady chuckles...

"You really think I'm an enemy." sizzled Milady.

"But... It seems that my phobias are somewhat reduced when you get married. I gradually realized you weren't a threat..."

Milady sighed.

"You have a sense of trauma." the woman sighed. He lifted Trevor's wrists, looking for signs of the man's despair as a toddler.

"Father the story to the details well.." siss Trevor.

Milady nodded.

Trevor pulled his hand.

"My mother has been married 12 times since she got divorced... Since he was declared mentally healed. I'm pretty sure that his psychiatrist was bribed to get mom out of the hospital sooner. So she took me to America so my mom and my mom's family couldn't track us down."

Milady sees Trevor's hand bristling.

This guy's... She had a deep trauma to her mother. Just talking about it makes Trevor goosebumps.

"I'm pretty glad you're gonna be my temporary wife."

"Wife while you.." Milady repeated.

"Yaaa. until father's blessing towards Ayumi comes out."

Milady chuckles.

"Hopefully we can survive well, I don't like too long in polygamy.." sizzled Milady.

Trevor grinned.
