MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
25. It's like He's Stolen My Heart

Today the Acqua house looks deserted. It seems like everyone is leaving. Because the day has gone by day. Cleo went down the stairs to the exit. Today he was allowed to leave the house. It feels good to be free. After a week of being locked up and she was forced to be taken by her mother to a psychiatrist. Cleo doesn't like it. Because he thinks he's not sick and doesn't have a psychiatric disorder. If he gets angry and injures Daisy to the point of being hurt for her it is natural that he hates Daisy so much.

Finally, he was forced to pretend to follow the advice of a psychiatrist who treated him so that he was immediately allowed out of the house by his parents. He must pretend to be sorry and promise to apologize to Daisy. He now hates Daisy. Moreover, last night he saw Daisy's face appear in the commercial of his Music Festival Jack Connor.

And yesterday he heard Yazid tell Zayn that Daisy is now the CEO of one of the companies that Grandpa founded. Both of her sisters admired Daisy. Makes Cleo upset.

"The age of that ugly duckling is only seventeen years old. Why he became CEO. Huh, Grandpa and Grandma are very favoritism" Grunggutu as he turned on his car engine.

Cleo's car was already on a pretty crowded street this afternoon. He's lazy to college. He wants to relax and have fun today, go to the spa and shop at the famous brand boutique in the hotel Stella Marine. He invited some of his friends to skip college today. But they all could not accompany him because they had to take compulsory classes on campus. He had to go alone.

It is actually more fun if the spa and shopping at the family-owned shopping center because there are more famous brand boutiques there. It's just that, there he will definitely be caught off guard by his mother and will be told to go home.

Cleo walked through the hotel lobby to the boutique and spa subscription.

"Good day, Mr. David" said a man who had just left a British brand men's clothing boutique.

David Ferguson, who was walking right in front of Cleo, replied to the man's greeting by nodding his head.

Then they entered the shop.

Cleo looked towards them. The man who greeted earlier seemed to be a store manager. He seemed to have great respect for the man he was addressing, Cleo thought.

Cleo stared unblinkingly at David. Because he was sure the man was not an indiscriminate person. Besides being very handsome.

"Very handsome" he muttered. Then he rushed into the boutique while continuing to monitor the man.

"Can I help you, Miss?" asking a staff member made Cleo surprised.

"You surprised me. I want to take a look first. Don't bother me" Cleo replied upsetly. His noisy tone of voice made David and the store manager turn towards him.

Cleo pretended to see some sweaters. Though his eyes are still focused on David who is now talking near the shirt rack.

David and the store manager nodded their heads to Cleo politely.

The store manager hinted the staff to leave Cleo.

"alright. If Miss needs anything can call me" said the staff earlier. Then leave Cleo and serve another visitor.

Cleo walked slowly towards where David was standing.

He grabbed two pieces of the shirt and acted as if he was dizzy to choose.

"Which spell is right for him, huh?"cleo said deliberately raising his voice to be heard by the two men standing nearby.

"John, you try to help this lady" David spoke to the store manager named Jhon.

"Okay, sir" he said.

"Excuse me, Miss. Is there anything I can help you with?" ask John to Cleo.

"Ooh, yeah. I was at a loss choosing the right size of these two shirts for my Brother" Cleo replied ostensibly puzzled.

"Didn't Miss know her size?"

Cleo shook her head with a look of face as if thinking hard. Then he looked at Jhon and shook his head.

"You're too thin compared to my brother" Cleo muttered with a look of triviality.

He looked towards David. Eyes sparkling.

"Naaaah this master seems fitting, his size seems exactly the same as my brother's. His body was very nice and very handsome" Cleo approached David.

"He was the master David of this boutique" said John introducing David. Hoping for Cleo not to act arbitrarily.

"Ooh yeah??" are you a boutique owner willing to help customers?"cleo asked David. Cleo was very happy because the man was the owner of this boutique.

John felt bad for David. But David immediately smiled.

"No problem, John. Let me help this lady" David said.

"My name is Cleo. Granddaughter of the Edoardo nobility" Cleo introduced her name without being asked.

David flabbergasted. " Edoardo?"

"Yes, the Edoardo nobleman owns the Edoardo Luxury group" Sahut Cleo proudly said.

"Okay, Miss Cleo. The Edoardo family is very famous in the Lotus state" David said with a smile. Cleo was even more proud that David knew her big family name.

Though his own name is not pinned the title of Edoardo nobility. Because he follows the surname of his father who is from Dubai. The title of Edoardo's nobility only reached his mother.

Cleo smiled with relief.

"Well, you have been very helpful to me, Mr. David" Cleo said, handing over the shirt to Jhon without turning his head.

"I want this one. And this is my credit card" he said arrogantly. Jhon smilingly grabbed the shirt and card from Cleo then rushed towards the cashier. He did often meet guests like Cleo who was arrogant because he felt he had a lot of money. He just felt bad for David because he had to serve the buyer.

While David also just smiled at Cleo's behavior.

"It didn't seem much different from the Edoardo girl this morning at the cafe" David thought.

"Sir David, what happened to your hand?" cleo asked curiously when he saw David's hand wearing a bandage.

"A little injury while riding, so while having to wear bandages" answered David kindly. After all the girl in front of him was a consumer that should be treated kindly.

"You like riding?"ask Cleo. David nodded.

"It seems like sometime we can ride together" Cleo said enthusiastically. He's getting closer to David. David took a step back from Cleo.

"I can ride even if I'm not good" Cleo said again. He approached David.

David retreated again and tried not to hit the display rack.

"Riding is so much fun, Miss Cleo. You have to keep practicing to be proficient"sohut David kindly.

Cleo looked at David barely blinking, making David somewhat careless.

David's phone rang. David breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, Miss Cleo. I have a phone call. Thank you for shopping at our store" David walked away from Cleo.

Cleo nodded. "OK, you're welcome"

"He's very charming. It seems like he has already stolen my heart" Cleo muttered inwardly.

"Can't Maxi is okay. David was also very handsome and cool"Cleo still stared at David shamelessly.

David was busy talking to someone on his phone.

Jhon approached Cleo. "Miss, please go to the cashier to complete the payment" the store manager approached Cleo.

"Alright" said Cleo lazily. He rushed to the cashier.

David then moved to his study on the second floor of the boutique. He waved his hand to Jhon to come with him.

Cleo raised her head looking for David after she finished making the payment. But David was not seen.

"Does master David live in the apartment above?" ask Cleo to the cashier. Because he knew that the Stella Marina hotel building consisted of hotels and apartments.

"Sorry, Miss. I don't know about it" the cashier replied, leaving Cleo disappointed as she grabbed a shopping bag containing the shirt she bought.

"Maybe a good fit for Zayn. Because Zayn was much straighter than the skinny Yazid" Cleo murmured.

He was only forced to buy a shirt so he could talk to David which made him very fascinated.

"I have to find out who David really is" Cleo thought as she headed out and headed to her spa boutique.

"Good day, Miss Cleo. It hasn't been here for a long time" said a staff member.

"Yes, that's why I want treatment today" Cleo said as she received a closet key to store her belongings.

"Let's go, Miss. in room seven" The other staff took Cleo to the treatment room.

"Cleo, you care too? you skipped college?"Marie's voice in front of room eight.

Cleo was surprised to see Marie.

"You should be going to college, too, Marie" Cleo laughed.

They laugh together.

"Okay, okay, we both skipped college. How about after this we eat together at our restaurant?" Marie gave a very brilliant idea according to Cleo.

"Ookee. Don't forget to take Joane. To make it more exciting" said Cleo. He's very happy. Finally a friend accompanied her to have some fun today.
