He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 144 - A Day Together

Colin promised to accompany me to activities throughout the day. So, I put on my best shirt paired with long jeans and sneakers. The clothes I always relied on to be comfortable sitting on his motorcycle. I took one of my sandbags, stuffed all my personal belongings, and walked out of the room.

Black and Gold are nowhere. They usually welcome me down the stairs. I looked around our house, the servants were also nowhere to be seen around the front room. Where's everybody going? Do they have jobs in other rooms?

Mr. Abdi opened the dining room door for me, and I met a look at someone who should not be sitting on one of the chairs surrounding the dining table. “Colin!” pekikku happy. I immediately ran up to him and hugged him.

“Dira, you disturb him who is eating,” Papa said reminded. But I don't care. Colin stood up from his seat and welcoming me meant he didn't mind being hugged like this.

“It's okay, Uncle. At least Gold and Black are not growling anymore,” Colin said with a small laugh. I loosened my arms and looked towards the floor. It turned out that the two dogs I was looking for were here and were sitting sweetly. “Dira must have said something untrue about me to them so they were angry.”

I laugh. “You disappeared for a week, it's only natural that they were angry. You've made their beloved mama sad.” I let go of my embrace, then sat on the empty chair by his side. “Are you sure you can accompany me all day activities?”

“Of course. Today I am yours completely,” she replied half teasingly. Brother and Adi immediately huu ria. “You're jealous? Hence, quickly have a girlfriend.”

“I'm only fifteen, Colin. Not yet time to date.” Adi looked towards Papa. “Iya, ‘kan, Pa?” Papa just nodded slowly.

We had breakfast together full of jokes. I can't believe I saw Colin's happy face. What happened a week ago like never happened. He laughed and shared jokes with my brother and sister. But this is better. I'm glad everything's back to how it was.

The first thing I have to do is go to Mr. Billy's office. All of his models were asked to come and listen to some directions in relation to the new rules he made. Of course Om Zach also came to accompany me. Every single thing that had to do with the changes in the contents of the contract, Papa always made sure that his sister-in-law was also involved.

“The audition result of the big fashion show will be announced this afternoon, are you ready, Dira?” ask Laras who is sitting next to me.

“You know that I fell at the time of the audition, I don't know if they will accept me or not. After all I auditioned not to win, just tried my luck. I've been on leave for a long time, so I hope to be active again through large shows or advertisements using products that are known globally.” I lifted both my shoulders, resigned.

“Ah, yes. I forgot about the incident.” He looked at my feet. “Has your knee recovered?” I'm asserting. “Having a rich dad is delicious, yes. All problems we can they solve easily.”

“What do you mean?” many confused.

“Lo? You don't know? The model that had caused you to fall on the audition stage was blacklisted, because of your papa. He will not be able to work in this field for a very long time.” The barrel laughed. “Why are there still people who dare to look for trouble with you?” He shook his head.

“Not my papa put him on the blacklist. I'm sure the jury who saw the incident made that decision. Papa's gonna put him in jail if Papa really intervenes. Not to let him be free,” I said telling Papa the nature I know.

“That's your own guess or have you asked your papa?” tanyanya. I was stunned for a moment. Laras was one of the few models who would be friends with me selflessly. But today he sounds different. Usually he's a good listener, but only this time he's challenging what I'm saying.

“Is there a problem, Baras? Something I didn't know had happened?” ask me slowly, being careful not to provoke problems that might just be my imagination.

“No. What's wrong?” He asked back.

Mr. Billy's assistant caught our attention and began an announcement that prompted us all to attend. I think there's something very important. It turns out that only a few models decided not to continue with the contract with the agency owned by Mr. Billy.

Outgoing friends do not seem to change agencies, but choose to be independent. I can't imagine my time would be drained if I did everything myself. Especially if I lose Vikal. I'm going to college and I won't have time to take care of work alone. So, as long as he wants to work with me, I want to stay on my team.

Om Zach decided to return to Papa's office after the meeting. He did not come to lunch with us. I invited Colin who was in the waiting room to come in and eat with us. She looked disinclined, so I pulled her hand and dragged her to the serving table.

“I'm not a model, Dira. What if your friend doesn't like to see me eating with you?” colin said, looking around us.

“I asked him to take you out to eat. Who would dare to protest? I paid for all this food from my personal pocket,”, Mr. Billy said from behind Colin.

He immediately turned his back and looked embarrassed. “Sorry, Sir. I don't mean it.”

“Eat a lot. You know for yourself that these models will not eat all the food I have provided.” Mr. Billy patted Colin on the shoulder. He complies.

“Why didn't you say he was behind me?” colin whispered in a stifled voice as Mr. Billy was far away from us. I just laugh amusedly.

“After eating, we go to the coffee shop, yes. I miss Wendy.” I spooned the rice onto my plate, then continued to choose the side dishes.

“You have no more work today?” ask Colin astonished.

“I'm still waiting for the results of some of the auditions I took. Until someone accepts me, then I have a lot of free time.” I smiled at him. “Because you promised to accompany me all day, I will not waste it.”

“I will not break the promise,” he said firmly half-jokingly. He swept a glance at the table. “Pak Billy knows no one will eat in large portions. Then why did he order this much food?”

“Because he will share this meal with his employees after this event is over,” I replied. “Even of them will bring this food home for the family at home.”

Colin nodded in understanding. I invited him to sit down as soon as our plates were full. We were just sitting together, so I didn't have to chat with friends. Vikal was also kind by not sitting near us. She must have understood that I missed my girlfriend after days of not seeing her.

“Papa took us to the villa this weekend. Holidays together before the new semester begins.” I looked towards Colin. “So, I couldn't date you on those two days.”

“Oke.” He nodded in understanding. “Hm. I think I need to do the same with my family. We can go on vacation together too. Maybe stay at a hotel around here or out of town. You gave me a great idea, baby.”

“By the way about your family, you haven't told me what happened,” I said remembering his promise. He would tell me everything when we met.

Suddenly someone screeched happily to attract the attention of all of us. I turned my head and saw Laras jumping up and down on the spot. “They accept me!” happy cheers.

Oh, aye. This afternoon is an announcement for the model received at a fashion show that will be held next month. I immediately put my plate on the table, then took the phone out of my bag. Colin looked at me in surprise. “Today is the announcement of the audition I joined two weeks ago. Hopefully I pass.”
