"Thank you Chef Scortch, for your welcome. Please serve some menus that are your mainstay. I'm sure, you must really want to show your skills in front of Madam. That's why, provide whatever you think is the best," Dirga said politely representing Cleo.

Cleo nodded in agreement with Dirga's words.

She looked back at Chef Scortch and smiled. This indicates that she really agreed with what Dirga said to him. So Chef Scortch immediately nodded and understood.

He walked back to his place. And only came back after a while. After he succeeded in presenting several menus for Cleo and Dirga.

"These are some of our mainstay menus. I hope you will like it," Chef Scortch told Cleo.

Cleo nodded and smiled in return.

"Okay. Thank you," Cleo said modestly.

Honestly, Cleo was too nervous to receive such special treatment from this foreign man.

But, seeing all the food that was served to her. Cleo's eyes kept sparkling. She smiled brightly and became impatient to taste it.

After successfully driving Chef Scortch away with a few compliments and also hoped that she will soon like his cooking. Cleo heard Dirga's phone suddenly rang.

Dirga picked it up, then answered.

"Yes sir?" Dirga exclaimed politely to the caller who turned out to be Harry.

@w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l

"Where are you?" Harry asked curiously.

Dirga answered, "I was in the cafeteria with Mrs. Cleo, sir." He said directly.

"At Canteen? With her?" Harry asked in response. He glanced at the hands of his watch. And just realized that it was still time for lunch.

Harry sighed.

"Leave her! And meet me asap. There are things I want to ask you to take care of immediately," Harry said immediately and gave orders.

Dirga immediately agreed. He ended the call, and Cleo with a bad look. Then apologize.

"Sorry, Madame. Looks like I have to come back soon because Mr. Harry really needs me, " Dirga glanced at Cleo doubtfully, "May I leave you alone? " he asked a little anxiously.

Cleo immediately laughed in response.

"Of course, you can! Do you think I am a child?" Cleo mocked half jokingly.

Cleo was not a 5 year old kid who cannot be left alone in a crowd. Cleo had faced not only the crowd, the crowd crowding a stadium, because she had worked in that place.

So, just sit and eat in the canteen. Of course it's not a difficult thing for her!

Hearing that, Dirga immediately nodded and left Cleo. Meanwhile Cleo, accompanied Dirga's departure by shaking her head.

"Wow! Seriously. His boyfriend had only been away for a while, he was already looking for him and wasn't willing. Seriously!" Cleo said in disbelief. Then squeal.

Was the rumor about them, Harry and Dirga, who were possibly lovebirds were true? Why were their attitude so suspicious?

Did something really happen to the two of them?

Cleo shrugged her shoulders. Then decided to start her happy lunch time in peace.

But only a quarter of a minute Cleo spent her time eating food that was tugging at her saliva. Someone she just knew greeted and approached her.

With a friendly attitude, Alfin sat in front of Cleo's table.

"Alone?" Alfin asked while looking at Cleo.

Cleo replied casually.

"Um ... Yes," Cleo said briefly and indifferently. She put the first spoon into her mouth.

Um ... this was called heaven! No wonder this canteen was so busy! Cleo would have lost a lot if she didn't come here.

Didn't care with the departure of Dirga who just left her. And didnt bother with Alfin's appearance who disturbed her pleasure.

Cleo felt her mouth actually melt.

Two ... uh, no! Four thumbs up for the Foreign Chef and all his workers.

Cleo will made sure that she'll came here often and tried other menus.

Cleo then took one piece of steak and chewed it.

Wow! This was absolutely delicious! Was this steak really made from a piece of cooked meat? Cleo suspected that there were magical magic in the steak, making it perfect!

'Em ... quality never lies!' Cleo said to herself.

Alfin noticed Cleo's cute expression.

"You really like the steak?" Alfin asked, chuckled.

Cleo nodded with enthusiasm and satisfaction. Because too much enjoy the state of her mouth as if she had tasted heaven. Cleo didn't even realize that her reaction was a little too much.

But it can't be helped, this steak was the best. So what for Cleo had to lie?

Alfin threw a sweet smile at Cleo.

"Do you know? You are the first person to get close to him," Alfin said, looking at something else.

Cleo looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" Cleo asked, did not understanding with a mouth full of food.

Alfin laughed again.

"I said, you were the first to successfully marry Harry."

Alfin said something that was not clear. Cleo looked at him even more confused.

Of course Cleo was the first. Hasn't Harry never been married before? That's why, he's not a widower who didn't have a child right?

Cleo thought about that possibility.

And Alfin immediately caught Cleo's expression well. He seemed to be able to read Cleo's mind. And then laughed helplessly.

"Not in the same meaning as what you think," Alfin quickly denied all of Cleo's negative thoughts.

Cleo looked at him without blinking.

Was her mind so easy to read? Why did Alfin keep answering whatever Cleo was thinking? Was he actually a psychic?

Cleo frowned and started eating uncomfortably.

Alfin continued his argument.

"You know that Harry is a very difficult man to predict and approach," Alfin added his explanation.

Yes. That's why Cleo got annoyed with him repeatedly!

He was not just difficult. But also stubborn and shameless! After falsely accusing her of being a thief, Harry didn't even say a word of forgiveness to her. If he wasn't shameless, then what else?

Cleo was reminded of the events that had passed. An incident that almost required her to get a lawsuit and court suit if she did not comply.

"But seeing you managed to marry him. I'm sure the situation at that time, must be very cornered."

Alfin again revealed the words that confuse Cleo.

"What?" Cleo asked, did not understanding.

Alfin smiled.

"It is nothing. I mean, he must be so crazy about you that he wants to marry you so badly. Is not it?" Alfin exclaimed with a grin that Cleo knew as if it had a specific purpose.

Cleo ignored it.

"Of course! If not for infatuation and being cornered, would he really want to marry a woman?" Cleo said without realizing it.

Alfin immediately looked at Cleo confusedly.

"You mean?" he asked instead of not understanding or actually pretending not to understand? Had no idea..

Cleo corrected her words.

Cleo laughed awkwardly then replied.

"Of course he is crazy about me. If it wasn't for being crazy and cornered by loving me so much, then there could be other reasons?" Cleo asked mischievously.

She held back all the feelings she suddenly felt when she said those sentences.

Wow! Harry words was right. Cleo should only apply to be an actress. See how good she was in acting and composing stories. If currently there was a nomination for the most promising female actress category nominations, Cleo was sure she will immediately get an award.

Aplause for herself!

Honestly, Cleo didn't mean to say that Harry couldn't possibly want to marry a woman. It's just that, Harry's cold attitude towards her made Cleo always thought that the man had a disorder in his mindset and personality.

See how he had a handsome face and an abundance of treasures! What woman can't he get until he had to hire someone to be his fake wife?

Huh ... Cleo sighed slowly.

At least Cleo was lucky. Because of his oddity, Cleo had the opportunity to cut all her debts and arrange the future.

Wouldn't it be better for her to be less concerned with others, and more concerned with herself? After all, Cleo will only know Harry for a period of two years. So being peaceful wasn't it the best way for everyone?

And Cleo's unexpected words just now made Alfin stare at her without blinking. Wow! This woman was really good at acting, Alfin thought to himself.

He laughed with amusement at himself imagining how Harry's daily life would be after this, together with this unexpected woman. Not only looked smart in words. The wife who was contracted by Harry was also very good at acting.

Of course that also made Harry's consideration in making the decision to make a fool of his own grandmother.

Alfin can't imagine what it would be like if Grandma Sofia found out about this. That Old Granny will definitely go on a rampage! Alfin thought with certainty.

He smiled back at Cleo.

"So you think, Harry really likes you a lot?" Alfin asked following Cleo's storyline. Looked like he started enjoying this impromptu scenario quickly.
