He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 170 - Evil Allegations

My mother looked tired as she walked through the front door of the house. The papa by his side just kept quiet, saying nothing to comfort him. The older brother looked even more worried than when he told the story in the hotel room. His face was so pale.

“If any other girl is pregnant with Kak Hadi's child, will her relationship with Clarissa end?” ask Adi concerned.

“That's for sure. I'm not sure Clarissa will be heartened to accept Hadi's child with another woman.” I rubbed my face that didn't itch. “But I don't know. I could be wrong. It's possible that Clarissa doesn't care about it and still wants to marry Big Brother.”

“Both are hard choices. I know Clarissa is very dear to Brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased after her that persistently. Pity them,” said Adi slowly. Ja. Poor Clarissa and Sister.

Who's the girl he's been sleeping with? Most likely the woman who called Big Brother was not the same girl who spent her time with Big Brother in the hotel room. How can a young woman fuck a man she doesn't know? Ah, but people will do anything for a lot of money.

What is so proud of being Kak Hadi's wife that women race to do anything to have her love? What is the point of forcing our desires on others who are not interested in us? Kak Hadi looks like Papa. Although their marriage was happy, Papa was not completely separated from the woman who aspired to be his wife. Thankfully, Papa was still able to avoid the women until now.

Maybe because I've never been hungry, so I can't understand why people are willing to do everything for money and the comfort of life. But if I can choose, I want Papa and Mama to be ordinary people like Om Will and Aunt Gista. They don't have many enemies. Ah, I forgot. Their marriage also did not escape problems.

“What's up, Dira?” ask Vikal confused. “You from earlier sighed slowly.”

We were waiting for my turn to audition for the ad star. Vikal signed up first, so I don't have to wait too long. “Nothing. My family is in trouble, but this has nothing to do with me.”

“Thank God. You have had enough problems. I don't want you to lock yourself up again if there's a new problem.” Vikal patted my shoulder. I nodded slowly.

Colin's not coming with us. She must accompany Lily at home. I forbid him to come with his sister. Lily won't be at home in this place just to wait for me to audition. I don't necessarily get a contract anyway. There are so many other rivals who are much younger and attractive than me.

When my turn came, I took a deep breath before standing up. Vikal followed me and the organizers who drove me to the audition room. My assistant can see from afar as long as she doesn't talk or do anything that could interfere with the smooth running of the audition.

There were three jurors sitting behind a long table in front of me. They read the form I filled out, then discussed with each other before looking at me. The man in the middle looked at me intently from head to toe. My brain told me to leave this place immediately, but I survived. This is a test.

“Erendira, you have many achievements since childhood. You even just attended a prestigious performance wearing the best design kebaya Ibu Riani.” The man looked at me in admiration. “It is not easy to get a chance in his kebaya show. You must have done one of your skills until you were chosen to cover the show and walk with it.”

I refrained from frowning at his strange statement. I kept smiling properly and showed no reaction through nods or headbands. But the man to his right and the woman to his left did not cover what they were thinking.

“What do you mean, Mom? What skills?” ask the woman.

“Do you do it in front of all the crew at the time of audition or just in the dressing room?” ask the man without answering his partner's question.

“Sorry, Om. I don't understand,” I said honestly.

“Open clothes. You did it in front of all the crew at the time of the audition or in the dressing room?” ask her frankly.

My blood rippled from my head to all parts of my body. My originally calm heart started pounding faster. Anger and anger mixed into one. How dare he smile sarcastically when he said that. He had already read the form in front of him. I had a good reputation during auditions and became an ambassador for any brand that entrusted me to be their model. But getting a part in a fashion show by undressing was never on my agenda.

“Lo? You have also seen the viral video. Rich people like them will do everything in their power. The three imprisoned people must be their own plot. Don't you know it's all just her wits?” said the bad guy accused my family.

“Mas can doubt the integrity of this girl, but accusing Riani's mother is not a wise act. He is a kebaya designer who is respected by many. Mas has seen for himself how suitable he is wearing that beautiful kebaya.” The woman defended Riani's mother.

“You better shut up or I will ask the committee to fire you right now,” threatened the man seriously. The woman closed her mouth. The man looked back at me. “Come, I want to see how perfect your body is until Ibu Riani chooses you. Undress you.”

I waited a while before responding. No one in the room opened their mouths to express their objections. This man had obviously insulted me in front of everyone. If they agree with him, then I don't want to be the star of their product ads.

“This company produces food. Why do I undress, Om? I always avoid advertising bath soap and underwear, because I do not need to take off clothes.” I looked at him and his two partners in turn. Even though my body was trembling, my voice remained calm. “When undressing is one of the conditions, then I withdraw from this audition.”

Without waiting, I lowered my head while still smiling, and headed for the exit. Vikal immediately walked near me. The man who had brought me into this room showed concern when he opened the door for us. I just smiled and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I was outside the stifling room.

“Basic crazy,” umpat Vikal. He's grabbing my shoulder. “You take it easy, Dira. We don't have to deal with this bad guy. There are still other products that are more appreciative of the prospective model.”

“Only one person is looking for trouble, Vikal. Not all those people who do evil,” my error.

“Do you not see? They're all quiet. That means they agree with what the man did to you. They are all bad people,” said Vikal still upset.

“Your friend said right.” A man's voice came from behind us.

“Oh, fuck. My leg is broken, my heart hurts,” said Vikal suddenly latah. I laughed hearing that. “Ah, please forgive me, Om. I'm not accusing you.”

“No. You're correct. We shouldn't have kept quiet and let him demean Erendira.” The man slightly lowered his head. “I represent all the crew apologizing to you. What we did was very unfair. Please, come again tomorrow. You do not need to follow the interview process, just follow the process of shooting and shooting scenes.” The man gave an envelope to Vikal.

“But, Om. This is unfair.” I took the envelope from Vikal who looked at me in protest and returned it. “I did not pass the interview, why did I advance to the next stage? No, thank you. Preferably, give this envelope to the more entitled.”

“You actually deserve it more than other participants. You remain polite and calm even though my colleague has insulted you.” He pushed the envelope back to me and would not accept it. “I beg you, come tomorrow for your next test.”

Seeing her pleading gaze, I was forced to accept the gift. There was no harm in fulfilling that request. I'm not necessarily graduating. “Good. Thank you for the opportunity Om gave me.”

“May you be lucky.” He turned to the committee who called him, then looked back at me and Vikal. “I have to go back. Nice to meet you.” He stretched out his hand, then I accepted it and we shook hands for a moment. He left after shaking Vikal's hand.

“He's a good man,” says Vikal. He took the envelope from my hand and opened it. “This is your place, time and number information for your next test. Good work.”

“Aren't you angry with all those people? Why don't you ask me to reject this offer?” manya tease him.

“I'm hungry. Come on, let's eat. I'm the one who bought.” He put his hand on my shoulder, then led me to the exit. I laughed because he didn't answer my question. But we immediately stopped to see who was sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting room. Vikal immediately let go of his embrace. “Good day, Sir. Not usually you come to the audition location.”
