He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 69 - Business Only

*Clarissa*

For almost two weeks, I have been very happy. I just found out that getting the attention of a young man who sincerely loves me feels more thrilling than the attention from family. All I want every day is to see his face, listen to his voice, and I'm happy every time he touches my hand or kisses my cheek.

But more thrilling than all that is every time you hear the word love coming out of his mouth. My heart beats faster, my blood ripples rapidly from head to toe, and I feel so many emotions in just one second. I feel happy, scared, sad, moved, worried when I hear his love.

Hadi was a very good young man when he loved someone. The way he behaves to me now is much different to the way he did when we were just getting acquainted. He was more careful when he spoke, and I didn't hear any more hurtful words from him. So it was easy for me to feel the same way about him.

But I'm afraid. It was the greatest feeling that filled my chest every time it was near her. I was afraid this was just a dream and in the blink of an eye, all this happiness would be snatched away from me. I was afraid that what Hadi felt for me was just an illusion of his childhood because he had been betrothed to me since he was very young.

And my fear was proven. Charlotte tried to hide the news from me, but I managed to snatch her phone from her. I'm not like most people who are active on social media. I don't have time to just read the news, chat in someone's post, or post a picture of me on social media whenever there's something I do.

“You don't have to put into your heart what they say to all those articles and posts, Clarissa. They will all get severe punishment for spreading slander like this,” Charlotte said trying to calm me down. He is the one who needs to calm down.

The news that made her look so angry was about me being called online news media as a college chicken, a cheap girl, a paid girl, even a much coarser term that is the same meaning they write as well.

My job is a secret. Every client I am with does not want our relationship to be known to the public. The ones we went through were purely business and I didn't give my body to them. We were just pretending to be in a relationship, that's all.

“Ng, I need time to myself. Can you leave me a minute?” doors to him. She slept with me last night in my room.

“Clarissa, we can solve all these problems. You don't have to worry about anything. Grandpa and Grandpa will make sure there is not a single article still circulating about you.” He took his phone back.

“I beg you, Charlotte. In a moment,” my door begged. He looked at me with a sad face, then sighed softly. He gave up and walked towards the door.

After he came out, I locked the door from the inside. This is a problem that happened because I stepped wrong. I should have known that a secret of this magnitude would definitely be revealed as well. Sigit and I didn't cooperate using official contract letters, so I couldn't sue him. But a good man is a man whose words can be held.

I grabbed my phone that was on the nightstand and rushed towards the clothes room. Although the walls and doors in this room are thick so that the sound from inside is difficult to hear from outside, I still have to be careful. I don't want my grandmother, grandma, or sister listening to this conversation.

“Halo, Mila,” greet Sigit when answering incoming calls from me. He spoke in an innocent tone as if he didn't know the reason I called him.

“My name is Clarissa. I'm sure you already know that because you know who my real grandfather is.” I smiled in disbelief.

“I don't understand what you mean,” he said in an innocent tone.

“So, you will use this attitude as self-defense? Pretend not to know?” my many. “Only you know I met the men, by your intercession to pretend to be their girlfriends. No one else, Sigit.”

“Cautiously accuse people, Mila,” he said sharply and still just called me by a name I had forgotten that. “You can't accuse someone carelessly without proof. I can sue you for defamation.”

“Please sue me. With pleasure, I will reveal what really happened between us. I want to know what the men in the picture are going to say about the news. And again, my name is Clarissa, not Mila. Prepare your lawyer, Sigit. Because I will also drag you into a crime committed by Finley Taylor.”

“Oh. If you have nothing to do with him, how do you know that he is a man?” ask me in a mocking tone. He was stuck with his own objection. “Finley's name is uniseks, it can be used for male or female. Don't you know that, Sigit?”

It's too coincidental that he chose today to open my disgrace with another man. We don't have any problems. He even still spoke well to me when I rejected all the new missions he offered me. Only Finley Taylor has been making trouble with me and my family lately.

Ahah! That's her! That's why he suddenly urged me to accept a new client! I was confused what made her so enthusiastic that I wanted to be someone's fake girlfriend again at such a high price. What is he planning to do with that client? Would he want to spread more than just a photo of being seated and the road so friendly? Or is there another plan?

If Finley Taylor and Sigit work together today, does that mean they've been planning everything for a long time? They knew each other long before Sigit and I worked together? So, Sigit offered this high-paying job because he already had a malicious plan behind it?

For a long time, he remained silent, not answering. I kept my phone away to check if the phone connection was cut off or still connected. His name is on the screen, so my phone is still connected to him.

“My family has experienced many difficult things in their lives. I will not allow anyone to ruin their happiness. Did you hear that? I won't let anyone make them grieve anymore. You just wait in your comfortable chair. I'll come and make a calculation with you.” They are so evil. This grudge has crossed the line.

“Mila,” says Sigit in a relaxed tone.

“Clarissa.” I gritted my teeth holding in anger. The name was a gift of male bandot liking young girls. I will not be called by that name, until any time. “My name is Clarissa. Stop calling me by that fake name.”

“But you introduced yourself by the name of Mila when we first met,” he said.

“Good. Please continue to be innocent.”

“I do not know what you are trying to say to me, but I do not do what you accuse me of. I haven't even seen any news on today.”

“Only you know what I do for your clients, Sigit. Stop being stupid. I won't stay silent after what you've done. You think you can get away with it after what you did to me? You wrong. All your clients are influential people. I want to know what they're gonna do to you because you've spread all those photos.”

“Mila, listen to me.” I don't care what he wants to say, I'm ending our phone relationship. If he wants to keep acting stupid, fine. I have my own way of proving that all these photos and news are his.

I keep the numbers of all the clients who used my services to be their fake girlfriends. I went to the news page with the men on my tablet, and called them one by one with my phone.

All began their sentences with insults, swearing, and other harsh words to me. But they knew that I did not take the photo and it was impossible to spread it in the media. I wouldn't keep my real identity a secret if I wanted people to know who I really was. And they know it. I didn't tell them my real name at the time. Only Colin knows.

I'm grateful Sigit is looking for trouble with influential people, not ordinary people. Because none of my pictures with Colin or any other man came from the ordinary people he was spreading. I've made my family ashamed of the news, Grandpa's name has also been dragged. Then anything I would do to restore his good name.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I put my ear to the door. There was no sound or sound at the door. I made sure that the door was locked. Then I opened the glass door to the balcony. There was no one around me either in the lower yard, so I went down through the wood of the spreading plants that were on the side wall of my balcony.

Finley Taylor's. He picked the wrong opponent. After he took me away from my family, now he wants to destroy them through me? Just look how I'm gonna repay him.
