The Steel-Cared Rose
The Sue

Sexual harassment charges against Dean led to Sinta's political career.

The charges creep up on Sinta's work. He was charged with abuse of power for protecting his in-laws' business.

"I'm sorry, screwed up!" Dean said regretfully.

"Save your apology. You not only ruined my career but your parents' efforts. Looks like you're being framed. Why do you have to go to that entertainment place?"

"You rejected me. I've run out of sense asking you to serve me. No one set me up. I went there spontaneously and alone. No appointments with anyone."

"That's not why you betrayed our marriage."

"I'm not an angel! How many times do I have to say it?"

"I also said, don't force me."

"You're my wife!"

"I'm lazy to serve you. There will be no end. If only you were faithful. It won't be like this."

"What are they demanding of you?"

"Misuse of power. Because I gave some tender to your parents' company."

"Is that wrong?"

"Conflict interest's. Arguably assuming the law, but substantially nothing is violated. Not a fictitious project. Your parent company can also complete the project well. It's just, there was a mistake when working on the project, it seems like your parents were wrong to recruit people.  But I suggested yesterday to fix it. And it's also been overcome. It's just that some do not like it, I spend an additional budget to fix it. That's all."

"Why did you do that?"

"I feel like something is unnatural. I can't prove it yet but I suspect someone deliberately put that person in your parents' company. Someone is intentionally playing. Maybe someone wants to get rid of your family company. I'm just helping protect you from those who don't like your parents' business. Had it been true, my guess is, they should have been responsible and not given to your parents. Moreover, the company of your parents is also a lot of business. Overburdening them could cause them to lose or go bankrupt. At least, it will affect the performance of their company."

"Wow! Sinta Ma'am!" Dean applauded, "Correctly, my parents insisted that you go into politics!"

Sinta ignored Dean's words.

"What's your plan?"

"I have no proof. I don't have any plans. I just follow my instincts."

"You want to say, you can't avoid those lawsuits?"

"Come away!"

"Tell me! Is it because of me that you were dragged into prison?"

"It has nothing to do with you. They've been planning it since I took office. They're just waiting for the right time."

"Why do you want to hold that office?"

"Do I have a choice?"

Dean looked towards Sinta. The steel-hearted woman he could not possibly subdue.

"People will consider you ambitious and other slanders."

"We can't live just listening to what people think of us. Sooner or later. Everyone will come for us."

"You've prepared yourself?"

"That's how!"

"I'll stand by you."

"For what? From the beginning, I was the scapegoat, not you. You take care of your family's company. Be careful when it comes to people."

"What about your lawyer?"

"He will stand by me. He's gonna try to prove the involvement of a competing company that's after the same project, which your parents turned over."

"How is it?"

"Make those who deliberately commit sabotage testify, that they do deliberately and at the command of the competitor's company, but it's all new plans. Because it's not easy to dismantle a conspiracy."

"If it doesn't work?"

"He will propose an indirect theory but we doubt it because it looks like they already hold the judge."

"There's someone who wants to destroy my father's efforts. You protect her by providing extra funds. You put up a body for my father's company. Now you're gonna face a lawsuit. And that's because of a lawsuit filed against me."

"I'm your husband. I'm protecting you not the other way around."

"What are you talking about that isn't important. It's your job to give an honest testimony to my lawyer. Whatever it is and don't miss it."

"What about you? You're my wife."

"I'm your wife but I'm also a county chief. My job has nothing to do with you. Me and my lawyer will try to deal with it."

"You refuse me to help you?"

"What do you want to help me with? Can you persuade the judge to reject the conspiracy? Looking for evidence of sabotage? Forcing people who commit sabotage to testify?"

"You want to say, I'm not as a husband? I'm gonna hit everyone who put you in jail."

"That's not how to solve the problem. Compromise, negotiate, put those responsible in jail or dismantle conspiracies. You hit everyone, you add a lawsuit to your lawsuits. Committing persecution."

"I don't care!"

"You always solve problems with emotions. No need to help me. My problems are increasing, not the other way around. My lawyer may be asking journalists for help in dismantling the conspiracy."

"You and your lawyer have been thinking about different ways?"

"Overcoming the problem must focus on the problem, itself not other than it."

"You're not playing crazy with your lawyer, are you?"

Sinta's face suddenly bete.

"You always said my nerves were pinched but it didn't seem to be me but you!"

"You won't serve me! It's only natural that I think no."

"Can you not force it?"

"When am I patient?"

"Until the apocalypse!"

"You're selfish!"

"You always press me!"

"What always makes you reject me?"

"I want to get rid of the image of a whore in your head!"

"But you are …."

"Stop! You're starting again!"

"I chose you to be my wife because of your greatness in bed and you're a whore dear…."

Sinta's face was red.

"How can I not feel like you?" Sinta jutek.

"You think, if you're an innocent woman and you don't have greatness in bed, I'd like you?"

Sinta felt her blood flow against gravity. One of the most hated of these transmigrations was Dean's dirty thoughts to him that often made him rise in blood but he could not do anything.

Sinta is a prostitute even in the original story. Dean always made her a sexual slave.

Dean is unserved and into the entertainment scene and getting a sexual harassment lawsuit already deviates greatly from the novel he is reading.

He can be an artist and also the head of the area also outside the story of the novel. 

In the story, Sinta can only serve Dean and can do nothing but become a prostitute for her husband and is only used to dilute Dean's legacy.

Sinta also could not defend herself. Always resigned if Dean asked him to serve him in relay.

Sometimes he thinks, the novel he reads is pornographic or is it like an adult novel?

It was full of vulgar and hot scenes. He was forced to firmly reject Dean if he did not want to experience the things that Sinta experienced in the book.

Pathetic….
