Chapter 51 - 051 ( Day Off)
Even little kids know that! Was Dirga fooling him?
Harry was clearly asking what Cleo really wanted to do with this talent!
Was this all, the secretary couldn't understand? Even though Dirga has worked for him for years?
Seeing Harry who looked at Dirga with one raised eyebrow, Dirga immediately cleared his throat once and resumed his explanation.
He knew that Mr. Harry was not asking questions of general knowledge. But a matter of personal knowledge about Miss Cleo.
"For the exact reason I don't know that, sir. But based on the words of the tutor owner there. Miss Cleo registered herself at the course with the intention of becoming a reliable baker," Dirga said, summarizing the information he got.
"That person said, Miss Cleo wants to open a small bakery on the edge of the city and also do business. She hopes that she can fulfill her wish within two years."
Harry began to grasp the true meaning of Dirga's words.
"So she wants to be able to materialize that within two years?" Harry asked, repeated.
Harry now glanced back at Cleo briefly. The woman was now listening to music from her cellphone with earphones. So that Cleo did not realize that she was currently being discussed by the two of them.
"Yes sir. This time coincides with the end of your contract period with her. So that I can conclude, it seems that Miss Cleo is reorganizing her future for the next two years. Either in a way that she knows, or a way she can learn. Whatever it seems like she's serious enough to stick with it. I heard that she has registered for the course for the next year," Dirga explained, explaining all the information he knew.
Dirga did not pay attention to the change in Harry's face, which now began to change a little. Harry glanced back at the woman they were talking about.
So she's in the mood to design her future? Because of that, she was so excited about planning an end to their marriage contract would happen as soon as possible?
A pretty dedicated woman. But it also made Harry feel a kind of unpleasant feeling suddenly surfaced when he thought about it.
During this time, there were so many women who were very happy to be by his side and enjoy all the comfort that he provided. But this woman just wanted to quickly finish her job and get out of his life as quickly as possible?
Wow! Harry laughed at himself that the situation had now become a little funny.
When all the women he met wanted to show their strengths and beauty in front of him. And how many women really wanted to be in her position. Cleo actually wanted to let go of it all and was very indifferent and didn't really care about him as if she didn't want to attract any sympathy from him?
Apart from acting and being cute in front of other people, Cleo really didn't have any interest in him!!
Had there ever been a single woman like that around Harry all this time?
Even though from the beginning Harry had never questioned it. And because of that, Harry agreed to Cleo's offer to marry her. But still, could Cleo be different from the many women he had met before?
Especially that woman? Was she really different from her? Or was she just doing it on purpose at the beginning so that she would sound nicer and attractive to get sympathetic from him? Until in the end, will Cleo also be the same as that woman!?
Harry was used to being cold to women. But he was not used to being treated coldly by women. That was why, seeing Cleo's indifferent treatment to him made Harry felt quite annoyed.
Harry still remembered how Cleo behaved, when she asked him two days of freedom for personal matters.
"I've complied with your wish to come to the office. Then, can I ask for something?" Cleo asked, trying to convey something. Just as she and Harry were on their way home on their first day into the office.
Harry, who was very tired at the time, closed his eyes and did not respond. But Cleo continued her request.
"Can I ask for a day off in between my time in one week?" Cleo asked, trying to negotiate.
Didn't know what the purpose was. Harry, who did not want to think too much because he was tired, only opened his eyes a little to glance at Cleo.
Cleo had very long and curvy lashes even when she was opening her eyes. For a split second, Harry watched it silently.
Did Cleo need to be so excited when she wanted to ask something? Just like when Cleo previously proposed herself as a contract wife, those eyes now seemed to want to talk?
Harry always had a strange feeling every time he saw those clear eyes.
Was there something wrong with him? That's why, Harry always can't just ignore those eyes.
"Two days! I'm only asking for two days a week for me, doing something I really do without having to go to the office with you. Is that okay?" Cleo asked anxiously. While still adjusting her seat, still facing Harry who was beside her.
Harry loosened his tie a little.
Couldn't she just relax her piercing gaze a little? She even managed to make Harry's sleepiness disappear suddenly.
"Is this the reason, since morning you have been obedient to me?" Harry asked, guessing exactly what he thought. And expressed it with an even expression.
Cloe was silent for a moment.
Was that so obvious? Cleo thought to herself anxiously.
And Harry immediately raised the corners of his lips up slightly.
Cleo underestimated him, if she thought Harry would not notice Cleo's change of attitude which was quite different from usual.
If it was Cleo that Harry knew, that woman would have protested very loudly because Harry had ignored her.
But instead of filing protests or appeals and the like. Cleo just acted calmly and continued to follow Harry's indifference?
Now then, what did she just say?
"Because of that, you now want to ask me for your day off?" Harry asked, not completely sure, hearing Cleo asked for leave on her first day of coming to the office. And Cleo immediately corrected.
"Not a day off. But a special holiday for me. Is that okay?" Cleo asked hopefully, and also made a sad expression on purpose.
Harry gave her a dubious look.
"What for?" Harry asked, not understanding, "What do you want to do?"
Harry stretched his head back against the back of the car seat. Cleo replied.
"Not much. I just wanna ... do something I'm supposed to do. Come on, can't it?" Cleo whined beggingly.
While, of course, ignoring any possibility that Harry would hit her so hard, perhaps even throwing her out of the car right now in disgust. Until hanging it on the roof. Whatever it was, as long as Cleo can get permission from him. Cleo will be willing to do anything. Even if she had to act cute or lick.
"Only two days and it won't be more! Trust me, I'll only need those two days for me to do something. The rest, if you wish to take whatever length of sleep I have on any day. I promise I won't protest and say anything! I swear!" Cleo tied her finger in front of Harry.
Harry stared at her in disbelief.
"Do you think that your sleeping time will be of useful to me?" Harry quipped sarcastically.
Cleo immediately held her frustration.
"Of course not always! But maybe one day, you'll need it. So, do you agree to it?" Cleo asked, assuming randomly.
Harry responded lazily. And didn't say anything. So Cleo took it as a form of his answer as 'yes'.
Cleo smiled happily to see him.
Even though for a moment Cleo was confused about why she could easily understand Harry's mindset and attitude, who never spoke openly and always asked her interlocutors to be smarter in understanding it. Cleo still believed that her thinking about the answer was correct.
Until then, Harry spoke again.
"But,"
Harry spoke briefly and floated up. Cleo waited impatiently for his next words.
"If there is an urgent situation occurs, and you have to cancel your day off. You obey my words and follow the procedures that have existed so far. Can you afford it?" Harry asked, put forward conditions. Because he didn't want Cleo would later use this opportunity to try to fool him.
So Cleo, who didn't want to worry about Harry's simple requirements, widened her smile.
Cleo was happy to have two days off to not see the annoying face of Harry who had now become her husband, even though it was only a contract.
"Thank you," Cleo said briefly without continuing her words. She returned to her seat facing forward and hummed.
