The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Our Deal Before Marriage

Since the scene of the frenzied dinner, the relationship between Velix and Ariana increasingly tenuous. The reason, of course, is because they both have their own choices in terms of the most ideal partner for Vicky.

Ariana gave full support to Cleo, because according to her super model figure like Cleo is the most suitable to be her son-in-law. As for Velix, he prefers Sherina. For to him, his rightful brother-in-law was someone who understood him the most. Even more than his own mother.

It made the atmosphere of the Bashara residence never calm again. Even so, Vicky could still tolerate this insignificant little commotion. Because according to Vicky, the good side since he brought Velix back home was more dominant than the bad side. Now, the house does not feel lonely anymore, the presence of his little brother gives the impression of living in this large and magnificent house. And what's more, he never got a report about Velix acting in school.

This kind of situation without feeling has been going on for a week. Ariana is increasingly disturbed by the closeness between Velix and Sherina. However, this time he no longer used blatant means to separate them. Ariana tricked to use a more subtle way, namely by arranging and making the Velix schedule becomes more solid. He invited several tutors who were experts in several fields at once to provide additional lessons for Velix.

Getting extra lessons was like a nightmare for Velix, the time he had to play was less and less. And when he persuaded his sister, Vicky was more on Ariana's side. He thought, Velix does need additional lessons to boost his academic grades in school.

At this stage, Ariana's plan showed success, but there was also failure. He manages to reduce the interaction between Velix and Sherina, but he fails in an attempt to strain their relationship. What happens is that Velix increasingly shows his naughty side, he often steals time to be free from the supervision of the tutor.

For the past few days, Sherina felt that things were quite peaceful and soothing for her. On this cool afternoon, he sat on the sofa on his balcony, reading a novel that had always been a hobby to do in his spare time.

DRRTT

DRRTT ...

Sherina's cell phone suddenly rang, she immediately closed the book she was reading and placed it on the small table at the side. He turned to check who was currently calling him. However, the look on his face immediately turned anxious. Sherina feels less prepared when someone she trusts in her late mother's company has called her.

"What's up, huh? Let's hope there's no problem" murmured Sherina who then gathered the courage to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" ask again.

"Ah, thank goodness Mrs Sherina answered my phone! I want to tell you something important, it's about the transfer of shares that Mrs asked me to take care of!" said someone on the phone.

"Oh, apparently about that. Hows it? Everything's going well, right? The total shares that my father gave to his savings was as much as 5 percent, you've managed to transfer those shares to me well, right?" asked Sherina anxiously.

"I'm sorry, Madam. I have to say bad news, but there's good news as well."

"What?! Then tell me the bad news first!" pinta Sherina's.

"The bad news, the funds that Madam gave me was still lacking. And the good news is, the rising stock price of Dream Glow Cosmetics. Actually these two problems are closely related, rising stock prices in the market is the cause of funds that the Madam gives less. Since the Madam ordered me to take care of the transfer of this stock in accordance with the applicable procedures, then inevitably the Madam must meet the lack of funds."

"Say, less how much?" asked Sherina with a shriveled forehead.

"Not so much, after I predicted and predicted the movement of stock values, I think the fund of about 250 million was more than enough."

"What-what?!" For a moment Sherina was still flabbergasted, but then she said again, "Well, I'll think! I'll call you back later! Oh yeah, if there's a big change in the company, let me know immediately!"

"Good Mistress."

TUT ...

The phone call ended, Sherina put her phone on the table again. The news he received just now had really made his head dizzy. He held his head and thought hard, about how he would find a way out of this problem.

"Damn! Why is this so?" as Sherina was frustrated.

I don't know if I should be happy or angry. The increase in the stock price of the company is very good, meaning that the company is in good condition, it can even be said that its performance is getting better. Damn, because of this rising stock price, the funds I prepared were less. It is quite unexpected, on the one hand it turns out that the father is able to run the company business well, but on the other hand he also spends company money for his personal pleasure.

250 Million, where can I get that money? Meanwhile, the time has been very tight, I want 5 percent of the shares to immediately fall into my hands. And again, the assets that allow me to sell everything I have also sold. Vicky's car as a dowry has all been sold, some diamond jewelry sets he gave also stayed 1 set left. Should I sell the apartment, too?

Selling an apartment is a bad idea. Vicky was suspicious when he found out I was selling the car he gave me. At that time I could still quibble, arguing that I couldn't drive a car. From then on I became more careful, even I sold the jewelry secretly without Vicky's knowledge. If I sell the apartment, it could make Vicky suspicious of me again. I don't want that to happen, because I want to take my mother's company with my own hands. I can't let anyone interfere.

Even though I hold his black card that has an unlimited balance, stock purchases still do not allow using a credit card. And if I were to make money by renting out an apartment, it would take even longer to find someone willing to rent.

That night, Sherina comes to Vicky's reading room. He also took the initiative to replace the waiter delivering tea to give to Vicky.

"Ah, it's you! Just put the tea there. Did you come to help me?" ask Vicky with a gentle smile. She thought, Sherina came to her room to provide help as usual.

Sherina did not answer. After he placed the tray and the teacup on the table, he then lowered his head with a doubtful expression. "Ehmm .. I actually came here to ask for your help."

"I will do it if I can. Tell me, what kind of help do you need?" asked the unsuspecting Vicky, he also picked up the cup of tea and sipped it casually.

"I want to borrow money from you, 250 million ..."

"Uhuk-uhuk ...?!" Vicky was surprised to choke. "250 million? Seriously you borrowed money from me?"

"Yes, but if you mind, it's fine. I'm fine," replied Sherina who then threw away her face.

"No Sherina, I don't mean to mind helping you. 250 Million doesn't mean much to me. It's just, what do you want that money for? My black card is in your hands. If you want something, you can just use that card and buy whatever you like" explains Vicky, who doesn't want Sherina to misunderstand him.

What's the matter? It was strange that Sherina suddenly asked me for a large amount of money. It's a little different from her usual self. In fact, all this time he never wasteful or buy something that is not important. I'm just worried, afraid he's using that money for something wrong.

"Sorry Vicky, but for my purposes this one .. I can't get by credit card. I need that money as soon as I can, I'd be very grateful if you'd lend it. I will definitely return it as soon as possible!" pinta Sherina's increasingly making Vicky stare suspiciously at her.

"Sherina, spending 250 million on me is easy. I'll give it to you, you don't have to owe it or replace it. But can you explain to me what the money is for?"

"...." - ".Sherina did not answer. With her face down, she said, "Vicky, did you forget about our agreement before marriage?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about that?" vicky asked with a confused face.

"When you were at the restaurant at the time, you were the one who made the deal between us. You said, we don't have to carry out our duties as husband and wife, or interfere in each other's personal affairs. So, I'm asking for your word!"

"Sherina ... You ...?" Vicky was silent, only this time he felt that Sherina seemed different from usual.

"I don't want to be confused, Vicky. I'll be honest, the money will be used for my personal benefit. You take it easy, I'm not going to use that money for anything wrong, like buying drugs. But, I still can't tell you, I beg you to respect this choice of mine."

"...." - ".Vicky was still silent. He did not take the blame for the large amount of money Sherina demanded. However, what he was concerned about was the thing Sherina was trying to hide from him.

On one side Sherina starts to feel pessimistic. He thought, Vicky was silent because he didn't want to lend him money. "Yes already, it's okay. I won't force you. Sorry for interrupting your time ...." Sherina smiled bitterly, she was about to turn around to immediately exit Vicky's reading room.

"Wait a minute! I'll give you that money! Write down your account number, I'll transfer it."

"REally?!" Sherina turned around, then looked at Vicky with a hopeful look, hoping that she didn't hear wrong.

"Yes, I'll give you that money."

A smile immediately rose on Sherina's lips, she then wrote down her account number on an empty paper that Vicky provided. "Thank you very much, Vicky! I will change your money later! Thank you for lending me! Don't forget to transfer soon, yes!"

Without further ado, Sherina walked out of Vicky's room with carefree steps. He wants to immediately contact his trusted person to resume the business that had been delayed due to lack of funds.

On the other hand, Vicky was still staring at Sherina's back until her shadows were no longer visible. There was a sense of disappointment on his face. However, not disappointed in Sherina, but disappointed in herself. "God, stupid me .. Why would I make such a deal?"

Sherina looks so happy when I lend her that little money. What kind of needs does he have? He really didn't want to tell me, it seems like the business this time was his personal matter.

Haiss ... This is because of the stupid deal I made before marriage. I guess this deal will bring profit, it turns out that now even I myself am at a disadvantage. I had to stay silent and not ask any further, this is because I built the barrier first. Sherina just obeyed my rules, this was entirely the fault of my own stupidity.
