Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 20
Advertisement
Cleo didn't look around before speaking. She was thinking that there would only be the owner of the room in it.
But ...
What a brazenness that she should regret now!
After the madness she did when she interrupted her boss's conversation at the cafe with Harry, Cleo sassy went back into someone's room without etiquette and manners.
See the consequences now!
Just as she finished saying that last sentence, a pair of eagle eyes had watched her sharply and flawlessly from the corner of the sofa.
His gaze was sharp. So that it was able to destroy all the passion that was burning within Cleo in an instant. Very dark and unforgiving.
That unpleasant expression stared at Cleo in dissatisfaction.
Cleo swallowed her saliva slowly.
Harry Miles?!
"Why is that man here? Didn't the receptionist at the downstairs say that he was in a meeting? Then what is he doing here now? Isn't this Dirgantara's room, his secretary? Why do I find Harry in this room instead of finding Dirga?" Cleo kept questioning herself.
Cleo looked away in another direction in the corner of the room. And she found Dirga sitting at his desk with a pile of documents.
That man looked at her in surprise. Cleo looked back with wide-eyed.
She almost screamed in annoyance when she saw that man there.
Cleo threw a smile full of regret at anyone who was near her.
As for Harry Miles, he was sitting sweetly on a sofa facing the door, staring at her with a muted hand, and with a disturbed expression of course.
Seeing that cold gaze, Cleo spontaneously apologized.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know that .. you were here," Cleo exclaimed quickly.
She stared at Harry and Dirga in turn.
"Earlier the receptionist said that you're on a meet-"

Cleo noticed some of the words she heard from a laptop in front of Harry.
The male voice from inside the laptop was clearly saying a few words that were quite serious and sounded important.
"Wait a minute! So that man is having….an online meeting?! And the meeting is held in his secretary's room?!"
Cleo was stunned on the spot. She really felt ashamed of her disrespectful act, which was completely out of place.
She looked at Dirga slowly. Hoping that the man would help her deal with this suddenly choking situation.
For a moment, Dirga didn't respond. After his boss threw several stares to him, he then stood up and walked over to Cleo.
"Miss Cleo, come with me out," said Dirga, inviting Cleo to follow him.
Cleo obeyed, following Dirga behind, and walked out.
Just when the two of them had walked out of the room, Cleo whispered softly to Dirga.
"Have I really made a very big mistake? He looked very angry and unhappy. Will this affect our agreement?" Cleo asked worriedly.
Cleo glanced slightly at Harry before the door was closed. That man still looked annoyed.
Seeing that, Cleo hurriedly turned and followed Dirga without looking back.
Her body got goosebumps a little!
When the two of them were already out of the room , Cleo and Dirga were greeted by the female staff who had forbidden Cleo to enter.
That woman put an annoyed face on Cleo and blamed her.
She then apologized to Dirga for failing to prevent Cleo.
Even though she had made it very clear Cleo couldn't meet Dirga at the moment, Cleo still insisted on entering.
Cleo who heard that could only bow silently. She was powerless to reply.
Her mind was now messed up for fear that her disrespectful act would affect Harry's decision.

Meanwhile, Dirga, who already understood the situation, nodded and asked his assistant to return to work. The woman obeyed.
After the assistant returned to her place, Cleo then said to Dirga in a soft tone.
"I know I was wrong. But once again I say, I really didn't know that man was inside. If only I had known he was there and he was having an important meeting, I wouldn't come in. It won't affect our cooperation, right, Dirga??" Cleo asked in frustration.
Dirga immediately cleared his throat. He then asked Cleo not to discuss this issue openly.
However, the matter of their cooperation was clearly a secret. So, only certain people were allowed to know about this problem.
Dirga didn't want Cleo to talk about this matter carelessly in public places, including in his office.
Just when Cleo was about to make some more defense, a phone call ended their conversation.
The call came from Dirga's cell phone which turned out to be connected to his boss's phone.
Harry asked his secretary to come back and bring Cleo in with him because he had already finished his meeting.
Hearing that, Cleo automatically cursed herself for being too hasty and impatient even for a few minutes.
She very regretted that she wasn't a little more patient and just immediately interrupted. No less than ten minutes, Harry had finished his meeting!
What's done is done. There was no point in regretting it now because it had happened.
