Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Alfin was greeting everyone.

"I'm like this compactness. I want to be in your midst, guys! But, how do you explain your recent absence? Is it true that you disappeared because you were bored with Cleo? Then the most important is, you also disappeared because you couldn't finish your mountain of work?"

"Are you running away from your busyness? Then looking for a more comfortable life and fresh air out there?"

Oscar was surprised to hear Alfin's words that were so insistent. Sofia stepped on Alfin's feet.

"Ouch! Why did grandma step on my foot? This is hurt!"

"You really deserve it for talking nonsense!"

Alfin groaned. He touched his feet and stood on one leg.

"I'm just saying what other people are talking about. The rumors arose because of grandma's grandson!"

Oscar nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know what exactly rumors Alfin was talking about. Sofia's sharp gaze stopped Oscar's nod.

He was being cold again.

"Then! You two are rumored to be having an impromptu meeting. It's not because of you, of course. But, Adhitya."

Alfin showed his full support.

"You better no need to be tense and anxious. I'm sure this problem will be resolved shortly. And You can definitely keep their mouths silent as you usually did."

Oscar narrowed his eyes.

He was just still surprised when Alfin couldn't even find out the difference between him and Harry. They had met several times when they were little. It's been a long time. And after that, they never saw each other again.

But is this true that Alfin doesn't realize it?

Alfin watched Oscar's face closely.

"Since when did your eyelashes become so thick compared to before?"

Oscar distanced himself.

She hates it when someone talks about her long eyelashes like a woman. Sofia hit Alfin's back quite hard.

"Stop making trouble! And walk side by side if you want to join the meeting."

Dirga found it difficult to hide his tension.

Harry and Oscar are very similar indeed. However, in certain parts. They were definitely looked a little different. And it was very worrying if someone realized it.

Sofia walked ahead of everyone. The three men behind her were forced to follow obediently. Until a brown wooden door was partially open. There was already a person or two standing guards outside the door.

However, there were about 15 directors present at the meeting. Watching so closely as Sofia and Oscar entered in unison.

All of the directors and shareholders who present were stunned. They had not received any announcement that Harry would be attending their today's meeting. They were still assuming that Harry might be unable to attend or have an excuse to not attend.

Entire meeting participants immediately stood up and saluted. They maintained their ethics when Sofia, someone who is still respected and has an important role in the company, comes with a firm aura that she displays.

Sofia, Oscar, and Alfin took their seats. After seeing one by one who was present at the meeting.

Adhitya put on the most displeased and restless face.

Sofia glanced at him.

"This makes me so glad to see you all started this meeting without us. But what surprised you so much so that I felt like your eyes would pop out of their place?"

Oscar suppressed his smile as Sofia was still able to make a joke in this tense situation. Sofia was waiting for an answer from Adhitya.

"I'm just happy and surprised to see Harry returned. He looked fine. However, it is strange enough that he has been missing while some weeks and difficult to be in contact with."

Oscar pulled Harry's cell phone from his coat pocket onto the table.

"There were about 5 missed calls from Uncle. 3 of others from my secretary. And lastly from several directors one time of each. I finally realized that I was being cared for and worried about."

The atmosphere immediately turned out to be stiff.

The directors assumed that was evidence of Harry's anger. Even though, they did that just to make sure anything was going well.

Aditya raised his eyebrows.

"I heard you were working on a new project. What's that? And why was everything must become a secret?"

Oscar narrowed his eyes. He peeked a little out of the corner of his eye, Sofia's composure that was become a confusing question for him. Because he couldn't find out what was in her mind right now.

Alfin showed a curiosity that was not much different from the other directors. Dirga stood in the corner anxiously.

"We're not the only ones who keep looking for you, Har. But, your wife! She came to the office suddenly. Because she couldn't reach you. Then, is it better for us to believe the slanted rumors that have been spreading aimlessly about you?"

Oscar glanced here and there with a calm demeanor.

He was sure Sofia was silent because she was demanding a role from the stunning 'Harry' figure. But, shouldn't they help him even it is just a little bit? Even more, today is the first day for Oscar to meet this weird and chatty uncle?!

Oscar repeated some of Dirga's mentions about Adhitya in his head.

__

"Mr. Adhitya is an overly ambitious and purposeful man. If he had already targeted something. He would chase it until he could get it. He won't let you go away until he got an answer he couldn't fight it back."

"You better be careful when you were talking to him. He could have found your weak point. He maybe also can continue to find any fault in yourself. Creating whatever things that don't exist into existence. Everything he can do. So you shouldn't get caught in the flow."

__

Oscar paid attention again to how Adhitya's looked.

His age was probably not that much different from his late father and Harry. He had a clear face and sternness. Those narrow eyes even tickled Oscar's instincts to attack him into the lowest point.

"I had used to slanted rumors. Isn't it like that? Because in the fact, I believe and am sure that none of the slanted gossips was telling the truth. To the extent that they also doubt my feelings for Cleo. I think this is getting more and more absurd."

Oscar tapped his finger on the table. He was getting comfortable at the moment when the directors didn't even dare to lift their faces and look at him.

"My wife was a prone worried and panicked woman when her husband was getting busy. He had a hard time staying away from me and wanted to stick on me like glue. You guys are the fools for taking that too seriously!"

Sofia stealthy cast sharp eyes at Oscar. She meant to tell Oscar to be more careful.

Oscar continued his defense.

"What does it reasonable if I have another woman when my wife is currently pregnant?"

Dirga and Sofia did not expect that Oscar would use the excuse of Cleo's pregnancy to cover up bad rumors about Harry's affair with another woman.

"She is pregnant with my child. We will have adorable twins. So, is there any other reason that I need to find another woman to make me happy?"
