He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 70 - Adult Affairs

The restaurant chosen by one of the men who was once my client was very luxurious. I'm not surprised, because only in a place like this can we meet without being noticed by others. Moreover, they need to maintain the privacy of those who have been destroyed since their photos with me circulated widely on the internet.

That scoundrel didn't blur our faces on every photo he showed. I don't know if he purposely or hastily spread the photos until he forgets to cover up the identities of our clients. I never had a written agreement with Sigit or these men, but I don't know if they have a letter of agreement to sign.

If there is, then this will be an easy win for me. I simply let these men who were dealing with Sigit and I watch from afar. They would definitely charge him with the maximum punishment.

“You can't do this, baby.” Suddenly my arm was held as I was about to open the door to the meeting room. I reflexively pulled my hand from the man's grasp. Who would dare to be so insolent? “It's me, Clarissa. Calm yourself.”

I stopped rebelling and turned around as soon as I recognized the owner of the voice. “Grandpa?” many confused. I looked behind him. “Grandpa? What are you guys doing here?”

“You came home with my driver. Let us take care of this.” Grandpa looked behind me to signal where the driver was.

“But, Grandpa,” protest me looking towards his driver and Grandpa alternately.

“Nothing but, baby. Me, Mason, and Hendra have repeatedly said that this is adult business. You, children, no need to interfere.” That phrase I used to like doesn't sound like much fun right now.

“This is no adult business, Grandpa. This is my business with the person who has already spread the photos and slandered me,” I said in a statement.

“Finley Taylor is involved, so yes, this is an adult affair,” Grandpa said firmly. I looked at him and Grandpa in turn.

“Ba-how can Grandpa know?” many surprised. They didn't know Sigit, so how did they know that he had anything to do with Finley?

“You don't need to know. You just need to know one thing. We take good care of you and Charlotte so that the abduction does not happen again.” Grandpa patted my shoulder slowly. “Go home. Let us talk to them.”

“Grandfather, I don't want to drag you guys into my trouble. I feel guilty for making Grandpa's name tainted. Everyone must have read the news and made fun of Grandpa by now. It's all my fault. Let me finish, Grandpa,”, I beg you.

“Bring my grandson home. Be careful on the road.” Grandpa ignored my plea and asked the driver to take me with him. “See you at home.” Grandfather stroked my cheek, then turned his head towards Grandpa. They entered the room, and I followed the driver to the car.

I felt uncomfortable in the car. How did Grandpa and Grandpa know about Sigit and his relationship with Finley? How did they know I was going to this place? I'm sure I wasn't followed by anyone. I went out through the side wall, not through the gate or the security guard post.

All I've done today is call Sigit, call everyone who's ever hired my services, and walk away from home in secret. I've made sure that Charlotte or anyone else won't be able to hear my conversation on the phone. There's no way she's hearing that conversation because I'm in the dress room.

Unless, ah, it's impossible. I pulled my phone out of the bag and unlocked the screen. All I did that could hint Grandpa and Grandpa was contact those men. Lest they put something on my phone so they can steal my conversation with anyone.

Oh, dearGod. Does that mean they hear every time Hadi and I talk on their phones? Oh, naw. It's so embarrassing. They heard my conversation with Hadi that .. I really don't believe this. Both my grandfather and grandmother had interfered in my privacy.

Hadi used to tease me while we were talking. He also did not hesitate to express his feelings to me over the phone. Even though I was sad to hear someone say something sweet about me, not with the compliments I heard from Hadi. And it was not just me and Hadi who heard the conversation.

“Pak, I don't want to go home,” I told the driver who was focused on looking at the road ahead of him.

“Sorry, Miss. Mr. Edu advised that you should be escorted home safely,” he said in an indisputable tone.

“I just need to go to Hadi's house. Can you please take me there? Just briefly. Then after that we go home,” I said trying to bargain.

“I'm sorry, Miss. The master clearly advised that you should be escorted home.”

Grandpa is really annoying! I'm not a child that should always be protected. Finley was already inside the prison, while Sigit was not a heavy opponent. He was just an ordinary businessman whose influence wasn't even half that of Grandfather's. So, she must have been afraid to face me head-on because Grandpa was behind me.

Regardless of the bad news, my family continued my engagement with Hadi. People filled the front room of the house that was deliberately changed like a hall. The doors to the living room, living room, and dining room are deliberately opened wide so that guests can be free to stand or sit anywhere they want.

From their facial expressions, no one looked down on me or my family. Nor is anyone seen whispering towards each other while glancing towards me or my family. Their attitudes are all very strange. Aren't they bothered by my photos?

What made me uncomfortable was that Grandpa invited so many reporters to come over. I know that today's event was held to introduce me to everyone. But with the news circulating since this morning, their presence here would not help much. How can news of an announcement defeat a scandal?

When Hadi's family came, Grandpa and Grandpa invited Om Hendra to talk, while Grandma and Grandma pulled Auntie Zahara to discuss something. Dira greeted me by hugging and kissing both my cheeks, then she joined Charlotte. Adi shook my hand, then chatted with Colin.

“Hai,” greet Hadi. She wrapped her hands around my waist, but I took a step back, signaling that I didn't want that. He did not force it by pulling his hand back. “Are you okay? I read the news and tried to contact you repeatedly.”

“I'm good.” I nodded slowly. “Sorry, there are many things I did since this morning, so I cannot answer incoming calls from you.”

“You did not attempt to solve the problem yourself, ‘kan?” tanyanya. How did he know about that? “You came to me when Finley first met you and claimed to be your father. Why don't you come to me when this problem arises?”

“I can't solve my problem with Finley alone. This time the problem is different. I can handle it myself because I know who my opponent is.” I walked to the table and got a glass of water.

Hadi followed me and again stood by my side. “Rissa, you and I are engaged. Your problem is my problem too. You don't have to endure it alone.”

“After you had two attacks while you were with me, did you think I would involve you again in my troubles?”

“I will always be involved in your problems just as you will also be dragged into my problems someday. That's the risk of a relationship. If I don't want to get involved in your problems, from the beginning I won't want to get engaged to you.”

“Hadi, did you forget? You're engaged to me because Grandma didn't give you a choice. You, also me, were forced to accept their wish for us to get engaged in front of them that day,” I said reminding him.

“And I don't regret it because I love you.” She smiles.

“You haven't loved me that day.”

“I already love you, but I don't yet know what feelings I felt for you at that time.” He shook his head. “What is this? Why are you suddenly questioning my feelings for you? You don't believe that my feelings are sincere?”

I can't answer because Grandpa called me. We stood together as a family at a time when Grandpa told everyone that I was his missing granddaughter. Everyone knew about it, so they were not surprised to hear it. But they were moved to hear that after a dozen years, I could return to my family.

The light from the camera flash that was on me and my family was getting more violent, but none of them mentioned my photos circulating in the media? They focused on asking how my family could finally find me. What the hell's going on? Why didn't they tease us with questions about my scandalous photo?
