My Lovely Girl
Chapter 71

Cleo cried in Zea's arms. Her cries broke and unstoppable, Cleo did not tell anyone about the matter, including her brother.

Zea rubbed Cleo's back to make the woman calmer. For a long time they hugged until Cleo felt calmer and she let go of her embrace.

" Are you calm now?" zea asked, wiping away the tears that had soaked Cleo's cheeks.

Cleo just nodded her head and tried to smile at her best friend.

" Can you tell me everything?" ask Zea.

Cleo did not immediately reply, the woman fell silent while squeezing her own hands.

" Honey. I'm your best friend, right? so don't hesitate to share anything with me" Zea said as she rubbed Cleo's arm.

Dev who saw this situation knew, that Cleo was reluctant to tell him it was possible because there was her and this was in a public place.

" Beby, take him to the mansion. Maybe he could relax more while in the mansion," Dev said giving a suggestion.

Zea turned to Dev and nodded her head.

" We'll just go to my mansion, okay." Cleo simply responded with a nod of her head.

Then Zea took Cleo's hand out of the restaurant and walked towards Dev's car.

.

.

Now that Zea was in his mansion, Dev immediately returned to his company after driving his wife to the mansion.

Zea took Cleo's hand in and immediately took her to the backyard of the mansion which had a large swimming pool there.

Cleo seemed to just bow her head without looking at the magnificent mansion that was now in her entrance.

" Sit down, Cleo."

The woman sits on a chair facing directly into the pool. And Zea sat beside him.

Cleo pondered. His gaze was empty facing towards the swimming pool which looked calm in front of him.

Zea clasped Cleo's hand and rubbed it.

" It's okay if you don't want to tell me that. I won't force you" said Zea quietly.

Cleo turned to Zea and smiled.

" Thank you, my lovely girl."

Zea simply responded with a nod of her head while smiling.

Then Cleo fell silent again.

" Who knows this?" ask Zea.

" It's just you, maybe your husband too if he heard my talk earlier," Cleo said with a gaze that still led to the pool.

" So Edo doesn't know about this?" ask Zea again.

Cleo just shook her head.

" You didn't tell him this?" ask Zea. Cleo shook her head again.

" Why?? he's the only family he's got, Cleo. Why didn't you tell him this?" sahut Zea's.

" He's being put out of the country by the company he works for. I don't want you to worry about me there because of this," Cleo said.

Zea rubbed Cleo's back in order to strengthen her.

" Don't feel alone, I'm here. When did that happen?" ask Zea.

Cleo looked at Zea.

" Since I got into that company, he's been trying to harass me when we're outside of both companies" Cleo began the story.

" At first he was just trying to hold my hand, rubbing my back. Stroking my hair until I embrace my shoulder."

" I haven't realized that yet, Ze. Until the moment she started to feel my thighs while we were having dinner together after the meeting with her business relationship."

" then?" ask Zea.

" The peak occurs after the launch of the product. He framed me for me to come see him at his hotel under the pretext of asking for company files. I foolishly followed his orders," Cleo said as she sobbed.

Then Cleo unbuttoned her shirt and pulled her hair. Zea was wide-eyed when she saw the many kiss mark marks around Cleo's chest and also her neck that had begun to blacken.

Cleo cried and Zea hugged her back.

" He touched me, Ze. He's already touched my whole body" Cleo said as she pleased.

Zea tightened her embrace.

" Even he put his hand in mine, Ze. I'm .. I'm not holy anymore, Ze. I'm dirty," said Cleo in frustration.

The woman looks very bad for what happened to her. He could only cry and continue to cry as if there was a severe trauma that he felt.

Zea continued to tightly hug Cleo's fragile body. Because that was all he could do for now.

" No, you're still holy and clean as long as he doesn't do that to you" Zea said.

" My body is dirty, Ze. The man touched my whole body, I was dirty," Cleo said repeatedly.

Zea let go of his embrace, and embraced Cleo's body, bringing her inside the mansion.

" Rest here, I will accompany you" said Zea sitting Cleo by the bed in the guest room.

Cleo just nodded her head. The moment Zea wanted to get out Cleo held her hand.

" I can't get out of that company, Ze," Cleo said lowered her head.

Zea turned around and sat down beside Cleo.

" Why?" ask Zea.

" I've signed my contract, Ze. He asked me to pay a big enough penalty so I couldn't get out of the company. And if I don't pay him, he'll report me" Cleo said.

" What .. You should have reported him. It wasn't even you who wanted to be reported" Zea said furiously.

" I have to how, Ze. I was confused," said Cleo firmly gripping her own head.

" Don't think about it. I will help you, now rest" said Zea.

" thank you. You're all I got here, I owe you a lot, Ze."

The woman clasped Zea's hand tightly while trying to smile.

Zea nodded her head, then walked out of the room.

Zea picked up her phone and contacted one of her friends who always helped her if needed.

" Find out who owns the ZW.corp building" Zea ordered.

" What's up, Ze? it seems you are being very emotional from the tone of your voice that sounds creepy," said Reza.

" Ck, he harassed my friend and tried to rape her," Zea said in a stifled tone from fear if Cleo heard.

" really. It's disgusting to the rich man" Reza said.

" You can help me or not. Otherwise I'll just hire someone to investigate the case" Zea said.

" OKay okay. I'll investigate this" Reza said.

" all right. I'm waiting for the good news." Zea hung up her phone.

He looks distant with clenched hands.

" I won't let go of the man" Zea muttered annoyedly.

She was deliberately acting alone because she did not want to disturb her husband. He knows very well that Dev has been very busy lately.
