My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 199 I Meet You...Again
Before long the door opened, someone entered Anita's study.
"Good Morning, Mrs. Anita" the person greeted and saluted
Anita's gaze, which was still fixed on some working documents on her desk, responded without returning her gaze "I understand as a Curator, you currently have a lot of work to prepare for the Event." The middle-aged woman turned to look at him from the edge of her reading glasses "Miss Jones, I want you to be a Personal Assistant."
It faintly seemed that the woman was frowning her forehead "Personal Assistant ? For you ?"
"Not" Anita "For Her" said, her gaze turned to Harumi who was standing on her back in front of a large glass window
Anita's errand woman followed her gaze, her expression began to be confused mixed with curiosity with someone who was now standing not far from her.
Anita stood up from her seat and walked up to Harumi "Include her Harumi Nayaka Whiston, my Candidate-in-law."
Harumi slowly twisted her body, then her gaze stopped on the figure of the woman.
"Harumi, this is Catherine Jones. The curator at my Gallery " added Anita with a slight smile
Cathy ?
Harumi watched closely, the same thing happened to Cathy.
The woman fell silent, her eyes widened. Clearly, Cathy was in shock at what was in front of her at the time.
He had not responded to anything, indeed what had happened between them could not be said to be fine.
They had no contact with each other after the incident that night. Harumi decides not to want to establish their friendship after she already knows the truth.
The truth that had destroyed his trust all this time.
The truth is so painful, tormenting him.
The lies that Cathy and Anton kept were so neat, with their acting so perfect. Making Harumi realize, that the most painful people actually come from people who are very trusted.
Silent. Harumi closed her eyes for a moment then she decided to step closer to Cathy with a cold look.
"Catherine Jones" he said with a piercing smile
Once again, Cathy chose not to respond. He remains silent. And this time his gaze changed, the tension that tore his body apart felt so intense.
Cathy felt a change in Harumi's attitude, not only her appearance even her way of speaking.
Harumi has really changed. It was very different like Harumi whom he had known for a long time.
Even Cathy felt as if she was dealing with Anita in a different version.
"Miss Jones, I don't like the way you just keep quiet. Be kind to your current boss. I want you to serve him, fulfill everything Harumi needs because now Harumi will cooperate with me. Especially for the Event later." Anita firmly reprimanded
Cathy swallowed her saliva, she realized both her hands were trembling and a sense of disbelief still enveloped her.
"Good, Mrs. Anita's. I will do my duty well." his voice trembled slightly, but he tried hard to cover it up.
"All right, I trust you."
Not long after, Secretary Gordon came in.
"Mrs. Anita, schedule your meeting this morning with some Important Clients at Oak Hills Golf Center. I've already prepared your departure for New York."
Anita just looked at her Secretary and then walked to get her handbag on the table "I go first, Miss Jones will help you to your study. Ok" he smiled faintly at Harumi then his expression changed as he turned to look at Catherine. The smile was gone, clearly Anita had a different attitude to Cathy.
"Well, Mrs Anita. Be careful on the road." Cathy said with feelings still raging.
After Anita had completely left her room followed by her Trust Secretary.
Cathy turned around and looked at Harumi with many questions "Rumi, what I just heard, is it true ? Prospective Son-in-law ? Wh-what does that mean ?"
Harumi returned Cathy's gaze casually "Take it to my Working Room."
Cathy approached Harumi, her face anxious once again she asked a lot of questions "Rumi, please forgive me. Why did your attitude suddenly change ? What's up ? What's going on ?"
Harumi sighed, and ignored Cathy's question as if it was just the wind then "Do your job properly...Miss Jones" her tone was slightly insinuating
It seems clear that Cathy is trying to hold herself back, because now she is aware that they are at work who should not talk about personal matters.
Then with a professional attitude, even more like a pretense. Cathy invites Harumi to her new Workspace.
Arriving at the Workspace, Harumi was silent, even along the road to the 25th Floor they chose not to talk to each other.
It is certain, the Workspace Anita chose for Harumi is not mediocre.
Of course everything looks amazing, the Workspace is so spacious and comfortable. All the ornaments and things that adorn the room as if Anita had prepared well. A variety of beautiful flowers decorate every corner and the colors chosen according to Harumi's preferences.
Harumi was quite surprised by what Anita had done for her.
It seems excessive, it is true. But, Harumi was powerless to resist the wishes of her future-in-law.
Harumi started looking at some of the files that had been on her desk since she arrived.
Cathy, who is now her Personal Assistant, stands up as she stares at the screen.
"Harumi's..."
"Mrs. Nayaka" cut Harumi quickly, he stared for a while and then looked back at the paper he now held "Call me Mrs. Nayaka." sternly
Although he was surprised, Cathy began to get used to Harumi's new "B-good attitude, Mrs. Nayakas. Sorry" Cathy moaned, she began to adjust every word that came out of her lips very carefully. "Is there anything you need ?"
Harumi took a breath "I need some lists of Flower Shops and Flower suppliers that are quite famous here. And I need some ... "
Uncompleted Harumi spoke, she was stopped when Cathy's phone rang.
Cathy was surprised. Then try to reach for the phone in his blazer pocket, for a moment he wants to turn it off. He saw the call and was silent for a moment.
"You can lift it up if it really matters." Harumi said expressionlessly
Cathy was still silent and kept staring at the screen of her phone.
He quickly shut it off.
"It's not important, after all, it's still working hours. I'm sorry." the woman clasped her phone tightly and then there was a disturbing feeling when the call showed someone's name.
Anton Riandra's. It was an incoming call from Anton.
"Is there something wrong with that call ? Why is your face-so-nervous ?" A cynical smile imprinted on Harumi's blushing lips "What's that call from someone who might desperately need your-Miss Jones ?"
Cathy changed her anxious expression with a broad-blown smile "No, just a call from .... "
"Anton" Harumi answered on target
...****************...
"I didn't expect you to have that courage. Didn't I ask you to stay away from my daughter. But, you took an unexpected step." Nami looked at him calmly
There is no weakness let alone doubt about all the actions Liam has chosen "I continue to fight for him to protect him."
"What about the divorce, what about other people's views on it. His whole life, Harumi will be labeled bad. Aren't you thinking about that ripely ?!!" Harry, who is now regaining consciousness and is in recovery, meets Liam for the first time. "I understand that the blind love you are feeling will not recognize the word surrender. But, don't you also have to think about how our condition will be. My daughter is a good woman, we love her very much. Is it enough with love and mutual affection to silence all the mouths of those who blaspheme it ?!!!"
"Please, bless our relationship. I can't silence everyone, but I promise to make Harumi happy and protect her family." Liam is not a weak and unyielding man. Every decision he made was a promise he held for life.
He's in love.
Nami could see that sincerity from Liam's two eyes that were resolute "Even though we haven't been able to accept you completely. But please take care of my daughter. "
"MOM !!" sidelined Harry with a high hoarse voice, Harry behaved the opposite. Harumi's father was still firm with his stance.
"Harry, we can't stand in their way anymore. Harumi also has the same feelings as her, we cannot impose our will. They love each other."
Harry's furious expression was clearly drawn "Aren't you aware of what's been happening to me. This must have something to do with it. I won't forgive what I've experienced."
Nami rubbed her husband's shoulder gently "Enough Harry, this has nothing to do with them. Liam loves our Princess, he will take responsibility. If we block him I'm afraid it'll keep us away from Harumi."
"What did Mr. Whiston is right to have something to do with this" Liam admitted loudly
Harry stared coldly and smirked
"I know it, and you still want to fight for my daughter. When all his family is threatened. I WON'T BE FOLLOWING YOU. If I give you my blessing, a more terrible threat will be ready to attack us. And I won't let my family suffer."
