Not the usual Cinderella
Chapter 16

He put the glass down. I myself have not touched at all the treats the waiter gave me.

The man's servant was still standing not far from our table. One movement of Estherlita's hand made the servant leave us. Esterlita probably doesn't want anyone to know what we're going to talk about.

"When have you been in a relationship?" the tone is intimidating.

His gaze was as sharp as wanting to swallow me round and round.

I tried to calm my heart. Prepare to answer what my brain has designed before.

"Nearly a year," I answered sure.

Surprised by my challenging answer. Oh I'm sorry Esterlita didn't mean to challenge you. I can only say in my heart.

He smiled obliquely and leaned his body against the chair while folding both of his hands.

"Thank you for serving my fiancee, you'd better get out of her side before a bigger problem hits you" it was an expulsion along with a threat.

"I'm sorry Miss Estherlita, I can't just walk away from Mr. Joan's side" I replied, referring to Joan as Joan. I try to be honest only to the extent that he can know.

His gaze turned fierce, it turned out that the face he always displayed like an angel on television could turn instantly into a very creepy. He was furious, visible from his reddened face.

"So you want to be an actor?" cynically.

"I'm sorry, I'm not an actor" right if I'm not an actor? He should know what the actor's abbreviation is.

I'm sorry Esterlita I don't want to be trampled on, that's your problem with Joan. I'd be very grateful if you could make Joan let me go. Want me to say like that, unfortunately according to plan I will just answer the question without explaining further.

"Curtain! Free of self-defense, a cheap woman like you is shameless. I'm sure you have a television at home, so you know how I'm related to Joan!"

The graceful attitude that he had shown falling had also changed with anger that he could not hide.

His face was really horrible, reminding me of the antagonist in the movie.

"Sorry Miss Esterlita," that's all I can say.

"Don't apologize, I'm asking you to leave Joan! And stop being an actor" he growled.

"I told you I can't leave Joan. Anyway, I'm not an actor" I said.

"Then what name is appropriate for you? The cheap woman is in agreement with the nickname of the actor," he snorted.

Gosh that rude remark didn't deserve to come out of his mouth at all. My admiration for him has diminished, although I am not guilty if he is currently burning with anger.

"You certainly know what the abbreviation of the actor is not it? The Male Claimant, whereas I don't feel like taking Joan away from you," I explained.

"No taking but no retreat, so what exactly is your purpose?"

"I don't have any purpose between your relationships. As you know me and Mr. Joan do have a relationship but it's not what you imagined, and I don't intend to take it from you."

Spechless, a little proud of me who could calmly answer all of Esterlita's questions without bursting like him.

I've been mentally prepared a long time ago how someone would label me bad. I do not deny, just affirm if the actor means I intend to take Joan from him, while our relationship is only limited to business, yes the business that is doing bad luck.

Unfortunately, I can't go into much detail about my relationship with Joan to Estherlita. That would make me break the deal. One of the terms of the agreement is that no one should know about our cooperative relationship.

"Hope I believe what you're saying if you don't want to get rid of me? Then you think I want to continue being fooled by you?"

"Miss better talk to Mr. Joan. I'm sure he'll listen to your request. If ... Mr. Joan wants to take me off I'll be very grateful to you, "I hold tightly the bag that's on my lap.

I was stupid to talk to him. It seems like my relationship with Joan is coming to an end.

He looked away, did I offend him? Maybe he talked to Joan? I'm sure Joan will react to me first if our relationship is already smelled by her fiance.

It was just my thinking. Or is he out of words to ask me to get away from Joan?

"You're taunting me?" ah it seems like he didn't pay much attention to my last words. He focused more on my first words that might hurt his pride. Mercifully.

Is it true to keep me safe when she talks to Joan? But why would Joan be so ordinary to me.

"Which words sound off Miss?" a little chuckling hearing his innocence. God, I really took him to war.

"A-well, you said as if I didn't dare to talk to Joan" he said stammered. For me right now she looks cute and adorable, it's sad that Joan hurt women like Estherlita.

"Hey, yes, I am the same as you. Lucky I intervened to stop your madness. There is still pity in my heart" he said, patting his chest.

I wanted to laugh out loud hearing her tone as if I was reading a script. To disguise the laughter I accidentally coughed himself in, and he looked annoyed.

"You're really hurting me!"

"Sorry Miss, I didn't mean to bully you. Thank you for your compassion towards me, my advice is to spend more of your time together with Mr. Joan, not necessarily after releasing me master Joan would not be tempted by another woman out there," I suggested in return thanks for the pity she said.

The woman sighed, it seemed like there were many things she was thinking about. His brilliant career certainly can not make the woman can spend a lot of time for her fiance. Joan will definitely be looking for another impingement despite having let me go.

The two of them were busy people, finding time for both must have been very difficult. I shuddered in horror when I imagined the life of a rich man was not as beautiful as I imagined. Note, not all of them, but the people I know are not far from the situation they are both now.

"I only wish one thing from you, quickly go stay in Joan. Our relationship is not as simple as you think. Not just two people who love each other and the presence of a bully fly like you." Hinaanya.

"Our relationship is the business relationship of two extended families. I'm sure you understand such a complicated relationship."

Yes Esterlita is right, I often see in the drama-drama romance relationship conglomerate family is not much different from just the relationship of two family business reinforcement.

It's sad, isn't it? Even their future had already been set by the elders of their families. Sometimes I am grateful to be an ordinary person.

"Fortunately I'm the one who found out about your affair with Joan. Because if Joan's family or my family knew first, then make sure people will never know if someone like you ever lived in this world. All who come into contact with you and know you will they cut down to their roots."

It was indeed the thing that I had feared for a long time, I would disappear from this world along with all the people who might know me. I can't imagine how unlucky those who know me are.

I don't know whether or not the threat Esterlita poses. But his words really make my hair goosebumps.

Is that their life? As silence surrounded our conversation. Suddenly the door was opened by someone who of course made me and Estelita look over.
