He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 152 - Papa's Girl Child

Reese stood behind me with a reddened face and eyes looking at me sharply. What the hell is he doing here? Didn't he say he was going to his agency? No one was standing near him. Tumbens. Usually his assistant would follow him wherever he went.

“Who do you call a liar?” ask Charlotte offended.

“You said you were going to the bookstore. Why are you even here?” ask Reese to be angry. I sighed softly, unwilling to serve someone like him.

“Can't you see the clock? We went around the bookstore for three hours. What right do you have to ask us to be honest? Like we want to do what with our time,” reply Charlotte is no less fierce.

“Oh.” Reese glanced at his watch. He smiled, feeling guilty. “I'm sorry. Being too engrossed myself, I did not pay attention to the clock. Alright. I have to go to the agency. Until tomorrow, friends.” He waved his hand and went towards the door.

“Crazy women,” umpat Charlotte upset. “He prefers accusing, just asked later. What was Hadi's fault until being chased by women like that?”

“You just met one person who behaved like that. Try to be friends with him since TK. You'll know there are hundreds of girls crazier than him,” Colin said. Charlotte shuddered softly.

“Harta and big name is very tempting.” Wyatt nodded slowly. “I know what Hadi feels. They don't even hesitate to offer their bodies.”

“I won't give you another chance if you cheat, honey.” Charlotte looked at Wyatt seriously. We cheered to hear it.

“Don't doubt me, sweety. I will not betray your trust again,” promises Wyatt.

“This is the reason I haven't dated at such a young age. Too much drama,” Wendy said. We just laughed when we heard it. “After seeing Dira and Colin, I should be strong to see your relationship.” He looked at Charlotte and Wyatt in turn.

“What's wrong with our relationship?” ask Charlotte.

“Kekanak-kanakan,” replied Wendy honestly. We all laughed, except for Charlotte.

As expected. Brother is not coming. Adi refused because he was lazy to leave the house and faced traffic. Only Clarissa fulfilled our invitation. He was seen looking for Hadi, but said nothing. Charlotte and I smiled meaningfully at her.

Papa was waiting in the parking lot when we finished eating. Colin can't take me home, because Lily's coming with him. Charlotte couldn't have driven me in a different direction. So, after hugging Colin, I immediately entered Papa's car.

Although there are people who take care of me, Papa does not allow me to get along with them. Papa expects them to work professionally without involving personal feelings. I understand what Papa is worried about. But not every man in this world will fall in love with me. He thinks excessively.

“How was your lecture today? Does that girl bother you?” asked Papa after putting his phone in his pocket.

“Reese doesn't bother me, Pa. As I have said. She was being very friendly and kind, because she wanted to be Kak Hadi's girlfriend,” I explained.

“My decision was right to keep your brother for three months in the office. The girl will not have the chance to disturb him.” Papa shook his head slowly.

“As you feel towards Colin?” tanya Papa is half teasing. I blushed. “Is he being nice to you?”

“Very good. She was focused on her script, so I didn't take her mind off discussing our relationship,” I said quietly.

“What's with your relationship?” ask Papa confused.

“We're getting married next year, Pa. The time is not long, but we have not prepared anything,” I replied a little worried.

“I told you, let it be your mama's business. The building, church, catering, and all other details will be well taken care of. If you object to us incurring costs, just prepare the money. Later we will give you the amount you need to pay.” Papa laughs.

“Why does Papa always laugh at Colin's requests? He's been well unwilling to trouble Papa and Mama by bearing the cost of our wedding.” I'm pouting.

“We will invite many guests, of course we feel entitled to share the cost of your wedding,” said Papa makes sense. “You are our only daughter. We want your event to be happy on your special day without worrying about costs. You can use your money for living expenses. Believe me, once married, there are only impromptu costs that you need.”

I didn't want to fight my parents, but I couldn't argue with Colin's wishes either. Since this is our marriage, then he hopes we finance all expenses. He didn't want to burden his parents or my parents. I understand he doesn't want to trouble his parents. The thing is, my parents were more than capable of helping me.

Being in two tough choices is a pain. But I'd rather side with Colin. He was my future husband and once we officially became husband and wife, he was the only place I leaned. Not my parents or family anymore.

After the last course on Friday, Vikal was waiting in the parking lot. I immediately entered his car by sitting in the driver's side seat, and he drove the car out of my campus parking lot.

Tonight became the first meeting between the models with the designers and the fashion show organizers who chose me. Barrel was also present, but he ignored me. Only his assistant greeted me and Vikal kindly.

Not wanting to bother with the change in attitude of the barrel, I greeted the other models who would be my coworkers for the next few weeks. There are only two new people. The rest are models that are no stranger to me.

At that first meeting, the committee asked us to introduce ourselves. Since there were many models selected, it took us almost an hour to introduce ourselves. The man who led the event then mentioned the schedule of events we had to attend. Of course we have to practice walking on the stage they have provided, taking off the clothes we have chosen to wear, and so on.

When she showed off the design of the clothes through the white screen in front of us, she called out the name of the model that would wear them. We already knew that the first name called would be the first one to open the show. As soon as the model's name was mentioned, we clapped for her. He's very lucky.

Name after name is mentioned, but my name is not also announced. I looked at Vikal anxiously. His smile grew even more when my name was not also spoken by the man. I accidentally met a look with Laras. He smiled cynically at me. Maybe she also thought the same that I was secretly removed from the model list.

I just feel like crying. Did they intentionally do this so that I came just to humiliate me in front of everyone? Vikal is just as evil. How could he smile happily, hearing that my name wasn't mentioned by the host?

“Nah, the last one is the model that will wear the best design directly chosen by Ibu Riani. Earlier, I congratulate you because you are the only model chosen by him,” said the man made us all hold our breath.
