...****************...

At 1pm, Zoey and my father-in-law arrived at a restaurant. The restaurant Jackson had reserved as our lunch spot.

We walked towards the table that had been occupied by Jackson and his assistant.

" Good afternoon everyone "greet Jackson while standing up from his chair.

He greeted us warmly, then shook our hands in turn.

Zoey let go of Jackson's grip as Jackson shook his hand longer, then Zoey embraced my arm affectionately.

I can see the change in Jackson's face when he gets a rejection from Zoey but he tries to behave accordingly.

After the meal, Jackson and my father-in-law discussed work. They occasionally ask Zoey for her opinion. I myself do not want to interfere too much in the affairs of the company. Let my wife handle it. I can only support him completely.

My phone rang and I picked it up immediately. Apparently it was a call from the owner of the place I rented. He said he canceled our deal and asked me to take back the rent I had paid.

I felt that something was wrong, and I had to meet with him immediately to confirm.

" Honey... What's up ? " ask Zoey as I end the call.

" It looks like there's a problem with the owner of the place I rented. I have to meet him to ask for an explanation "my answer.

" In that case, I'll come with you" Zoey said as she prepared.

" Why do you have to go with Zoey? Is your husband unable to solve his own problems "asked Jackson half-sinning.

I just glanced at him for a glance.

" Why is it ? What is the problem if a wife joins her husband ? " sahut Zoey ketus.

Jackson smiled sinisterly while looking at me lightly.

" It seems you're still standing with the help of your wife. Just as it used to be, it still hangs life to Zoey "scorn Jackson.

" Good your mouth, Jack ! " zoey snaps it off.

I stroke Zoey's arm to calm her down.

" I'm sorry, dear Mr. Jackson, I don't depend on anyone. From a long time ago until now I have focused on my own abilities. But it is undeniable that my wife always strengthens me by always supporting and loving me "reply to Jackson.

My words were successful in making Jackson grieve. Even I could see flashes of anger in his eyes.

" That's enough ! Dave if there's any important business you can go. And Zoey, go with your husband ! " excited Mr. Rick.

Zoey nodded then held my hand in a friendly manner.

" Well, then we both excuse "my goodbye and leave them with Zoey.

I hurried off together with Zoey towards the residence of the owner of the place I rented. I assume something went wrong that caused him to cancel our deal.

" Why did you let Zoey go with that poor guy ? "

Jack questions Mr. Rick's attitude that seems to support the relationship between Zoey and Dave.

" Why is it ? The two of them are husband and wife " replied Mr. Rick casually.

Jack clenched his hand and then kicked the table.

" Hey, did you forget the terms I applied for ? You should have made their relationship tenuous "said Jack full of anger.

" I know that " said Mr. Rick, sipping a drink in his glass.

" Listen, Jackson, I know you don't like seeing Zoey with him. I did too... I really want Zoey to be with a more decent guy, like you. But we have to play beautiful. Don't make Zoey hate you more. You have to take her heart slowly. You think with that attitude of yours, Zoey will come back to you ? " excuse Mr. Rick cut Jackson's speech.

" What Mr. Rick says is right, Mr. ", said Neil, Jackson's assistant.

Jackson loosened his tie then pushed his back against the chair. He was throwing his breath away.

" So we can just wait...? " said Jackson.

" Yes, waiting for the right time. You take it easy, I'll make him unable to open his office here. Even if he wants to start his business again, he has to go back to town A and live separately with Zoey " explains Mr. Rick.

Jackson raised his eyebrows, then grinned.

" So you're causing trouble for him today ? " ask Jackson half-laughing.

" Of course... He wouldn't expect it " replied Mr. Rick widening his smile.

" Good God, I never thought that my future in-laws turned out to be sneaky as well. But I like it ! " saw Jackson smiled triumphantly.

" I'll make sure she stays away from Zoey and you'll have to try to get Zoey's attention back. You also have to remember, Zoey doesn't like being forced" Mr Rick reminded Jackson

" Let's calm down daddy-in-law, I'll get Zoey back to me. And I'm going to make that poor guy can't go back to Zoey "typical Jackson confident.

...----------------...

The car I was driving stopped in front of the place I was going to rent. After I called, the owner of the place asked me to come to his rental place.

Zoey and I got out of the car, and we walked into the place I was going to rent.

The owner was waiting for us there.

" I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Dave, I have to return the money you gave me "he said, handing back the envelope containing the rent I had given him.

" I need your explanation. Why did you suddenly cancel it, when we had agreed "I asked for an explanation.

" Sorry as much as Mr. Dave, yesterday someone came and they dared to pay double the price we agreed even they have paid in advance. I was in need of money, therefore I chose them "he explained.

" Can't you, sir, didn't you agree with my husband first ? You should have talked about this with my husband" said Zoey did not accept with an explanation from the owner of the place.

" If it's a price issue, I can also pay it according to the price they offer "zoey continued.

" I'm sorry Miss, they've paid for the next year. If you want to pay like them, I'll rent this place to you "gag it.

" all right... "

" It's okay, Sir. Maybe this place doesn't match up with us "I cut off Zoey's remark, then took the rent that was returned by the owner of the place.

I took Zoey out of the place. I could see clearly that Zoey was so disappointed with my decision to approve the cancellation of the lease.

" Hey, honey... Don't be angry, the beauty will disappear ", I said while stroking Zoey's cheek that still bent her face.

" Why do you accept his attitude. You should have kept your rights. After all, he was sneaky and dishonest in his attitude. You should've just let me pay the rent. Aah, it feels like I want to hit her in the face it's "a furious Zoey who is still very upset.

I just smiled at the attitude of my beautiful wife.

" It's... No need to get angry. After all for what we spent a lot of money on the rent of the place. There are a lot of other places, and maybe he really needs money. I will certainly look for a more profitable business ", I said as I stroked her hair.

" But you won't act cunningly. You've always respected and appreciated others even though they never thought of you as "A slick reply to Zoey while looking at me.

" It's okay... I don't care what others think of me. The important thing is that I've always been nice and you've always been there for me "said me and brought Zoey into my arms.

Zoey hugged back and tightened her arms.

" You know, I'm the luckiest woman to be your wife" she said.

" And I'm also the luckiest man to be able to challenge a woman like you "
