Gerald looked at the face of the beautiful girl in front of him who now seemed to grimace for some reason. Ops, maybe she's hungry, Gerald thought, because she fell asleep because she missed her dinner.
Feeling noticed like that by Gerald, Everly glared in annoyance. "Why boss, never seen a cute girl??" grinning Everly while being literate covered her nervousness. Honest in his heart Everly felt misbehaved because of Gerald's gaze.
Hearing Everly's words, Gerald's face flushed in embarrassment. But don't want to feel his pride falling in front of Rick who is also laughing. Gerald smiled at Everly while calling Mr. Darmin who was standing not far from them. "Prepare dinner for this lady, the sound of her tummy rumbling is loud as well apparently" Gerald ordered to Mr. Darmin. Make Everly prick her ear. Shame and relief blend into one.
Mr. Darmin nodded in understanding and immediately let Everly follow him into the family dining room. "Let's go with me" she said kindly. Everly hesitated a bit, but seeing him Gerald let her out with a smile. Everly rushed over, without Babibu getting up and walking after Mr. Darmin.
Rick who was staring out the gate finally smiled as the car that picked up the person he was waiting for arrived.
"Young Master, the girl's father has arrived!" rick told Gerald that Gerald responded with pleasure and satisfaction. Gerald was in his study.
The car stopped right in front of the living room door terrace. Roland Soediro got out of the car accompanied by one big man who was Gerald's man.
Gerald gives Rick a code to let Roland in. Rick approached Roland who was hesitant to step inside.
"Welcome Mr. Roland,!" greet Rick friendly. Roland nodded as he shook Rick's hand. Roland followed Rick's steps into the door of the mansion's enormous and luxurious living room. He understood because he knew who the owner of the Mansion was.
"Please sit here, Mr. Roland!" Rick greeted me kindly. Roland sat down with a thump while observing the spacious guest room. Rick's headed to Gerald's office.
Roland's eyes were fixed on a large Canvas painting on the wall of the living room. The pictures of the late Mr. Joseph Vicario, Mrs Geraldine Vicario and their two twins Gerald Vicario and Josephine Vicario. The family of the conglomerate is very famous in this country as well as in Asia.
While busy observing the photo suddenly Gerald greeted him. "Welcome Mr. Roland!" Gerald smiled and sat on the couch leaning his body by lifting one leg across the other.
Roland looked at Gerald with a million questions he had asked since his departure from home because it was picked up by a man who confessed to the order from Mr. Gerald Vicario.
"Dad. ..!!" suddenly Everly's voice screeched from the direction of the living room door that was connected to the living room. Everly had just finished the dinner Mr. Darmin and the waiters had prepared.
Gerald, Rick and Roland were simultaneously staring at Everly who was walking closer towards them. Roland stood up and hugged his daughter tightly, Everly returned his arms to her father in relief. The father and son's embrace sliced Gerald's heart. Because suddenly he also missed the embrace of his father who died 25 years ago.
"Well, my daughter and I will meet the requirements you want, Mr. Gerald!" Said Roland opening up the conversation he had prepared from last night.
Everly looked at her father while widening her eyes. "Terms, what do you mean dad?" tanyanya did not understand. Roland fell silent. Dare to look Everly in the face. Everly then turned her clueless gaze toward Gerald.
Gerald pretended not to see the two men. His eyes gave a code to Rick. Which Rick replied with a nod. Rick took out a paper from the map he had been holding from earlier.
"Well then, please sign this agreement, sir!" rick's orders to Roland. Roland received the letter tremblingly. But quickly, Everly snatches the letter from her father's hands.
Everly's eyes rounded when there was a mention of Marriage in the letter.
"What the fuck is dad!" Everly looked at her father and her eyelids had started to water. Roland looked at Everly with sadness.
"I'm sorry, son. I don't want you to go to jail and don't let our family live destitute, I can't help to give a decent life to our family, I do this because I love you and our family, you know your life is not going to be long, so let me marry you to Mr. Gerald, I'm sure he can help your life later and our family, when you're gone!" roland replied trying to convince Everly stammeringly.
"A.a.a.is there no other solution father?" everly replied limp and sad because her father could not refuse the agreement. It even convinced her to want to marry the arrogant man.
"How about Mr Roland?" rick with a serious face. Gerald looked at them coldly. Inwardly he wished for the girl's father to quickly sign the treaty. Gerald already has a plan behind it all through their marriage.
"Okay dad, please sign the letter!" every said sternly but his eyes stared intently at Gerald. He was completely confused by the contents of the letter. How can they get married, no wind no rain, just met two days ago and have planned a wedding, surely Gerald planned something else through this wedding. Everly muttered inwardly while watching her father who was now signing the letter of agreement on the seal.
"Thank you for your willingness, Mr. Roland!" rick said as he received the letter Roland had signed.
"Next month, this wedding will be held, please prepare yourself Mr. Roland and Miss Everly!" Rick told Everly with a serious face, and avenged the weak nods of Everly and her father.
The letter says the wedding will be held next month, and only valid for 1 year. This makes Everly relieved, because it turns out this is only a short walk, after which she can be free again.
"I'll excuse you, Mr. Gerald and Mr. Rick!" sahut Rolan while standing up and also followed Everly. Gerald nodded with a triumphant smile. Rick escorted Roland and Everly stepped out.
