Chapter 32

"Finally, after so long not going out together, today I can talk to you again."

Deasy smiled happily to welcome Velove. The two of them decided to meet each other this afternoon after office hours.

If I remember, it's been more than a week that they haven't seen each other and even just greeted by text message or telephone. In fact, usually these two women always meet. Either have lunch together. Or go out on the weekends.

Apart from being busy with their own affairs, Deasy was actually lazy because the last time she met Velove, Darwin had sprayed her all over. Luckily, this afternoon it was Velove who contacted him first and asked him to meet this afternoon.

"You don't have to be exaggerated. You're the one who's busy ass. How many days have you never called or texted me," complained Velove while opening the menu book that the cafe waitress had just offered.

Deasy pouted for a moment. While sipping the matcha frapuccino that he had ordered earlier, the woman simply replied.

"I don't want to contact you. I'm afraid of being scolded by the handler."

"The handler?" repeated Velove following Deasy's words. "You think I'm a beast?"

Deasy laughed. Even though he was kidding. But his best friend seemed to be really annoyed.

"Yes, that's your pretend husband. It really sucks to nag at me all the time."

"Why didn't you just answer Darwin when he was grumbling the other day? If you were alone with me, you would dare to talk to him all kinds of things," Velove quipped openly.

After all, when we were talking alone like now, Deasy often called Darwin all sorts of things. It seemed that woman was even so bold. But, why is it that when we meet in person like the other day at the hospital, his guts actually shrink instantly.

"I'm not afraid, Ve," said Deasy, not accepting it. It's okay for him to be said cemen by his own best friend. "I was just self-aware of my position yesterday at the hospital. If I had served Darwin, what would have happened would have been an uproar and I would have been reprimanded by the hospital staff. It would have been embarrassing."

"I think your embarrassment is gone," Velove joked, laughing.

"Haphazard!" his grunts do not accept. "Besides, your husband is really annoying. He's the one who sins a lot, but he looks like a guy who just pretended to be right yesterday. I swear it makes you fat."

Velove just shook his head. Lazy to wait at length, the woman chose to eat the cheese cake that the waiter had just delivered. Eat it in peace. As soon as half was left, then he returned to invite Deasy to chat.

"How are the preparations for the Wijaya Group's birthday event? I've heard, Papa appointed you directly to be the chairman of the committee, right?"

Dessy nodded. This week apart from being busy with work, he is indeed confused with various kinds of preparations to welcome the birthday of the holding company owned by Darius Wijaya.

As an old staff member who used to work at the main office until finally moving under the auspices of Velove, Deasy was often on the organizing committee. Because she was considered quite competent, this year the woman was given the opportunity to lead the course of this important and prestigious event.

"It's 90% already, Ve. Hopefully, tomorrow Saturday the event can run without any problems. You yourself will come, right?"

Velvet nodded.

"If invited I will come."

Deasy immediately chuckled. What's the story, the only child of the company owner was not invited. What is there, Velove will get a VVIP invitation like other company officials.

"Relax. I have prepared a special invitation for you. But, come with Nathan, okay?"

"Do not be crazy!" clicked Velove while glancing sharply at Deasy. For some reason, until this moment, her best friend is very happy to set her up with Nathan. "When I come with Nathan, who will be in World War 10 with Darwin. You know about the agreement I made, right? Yesterday, he always protested about me 'just' meeting or meeting Nathan again. "

Deasy nodded lazily. How could he forget. Because he told Nathan about this agreement, he was sprayed twice. The first by Velove and the second of course by Darwin.

It couldn't be helped, because he didn't like it, he had intended to separate Velove from Darwin from the start. For some reason, in his opinion, Darwin is not in the least bit worthy of being a companion for a Velove who is close to perfect.

"After all, six months is a long time, isn't it?"

"Why is it the same as six months?" wonder Velove wanted to know.

"Yes ... I just want to see you and Darwin get divorced quickly. I'm really lazy to imagine you, who is almost perfect, living with a jerk like Darwin Morales Khiel for so long."

Velvet just laughed. Not the least bit offended by Deasy's words which sounded like insults.

"Even if I divorced Darwin, it's not certain that I'll be back with Nathan, Des."

Deasy frowned deeply. In fact, he knew that Velove used to love Nathan so much. So, why has it changed now? Has the love within Velove started to fade. Is it possible that this has something to do with the figure of Darwin.

"Why is that? Don't you love Nathan anymore?"

"It's just normal. Besides, I'm too lazy to think about things that are far away. It's better for now to just focus on running the existing household."

"Yeah, household pretend, right?" Deasy quipped and Velove immediately responded with a shake of the head.

"No, please. Just so you know, Darwin and I are trying to live our household or marriage relationship as normal as possible for the next month."

Deasy second was also aghast. He wasn't sure what he had just heard.

"Don't joke around, Ve. You know who Darwin loves, right?"

Once again Velove nodded. No need to be reminded about this one.

"You know. But, it was Darwin who gave the suggestion. So, what's so hard about trying it?"

"And if it fails?"

"Yes, back to the original agreement. Separated after six months of marriage," Velove said casually as if there was not the slightest burden.

Deasy let out an exasperated breath. He was so worried himself hearing what Velove just said. How can a sacred marriage be a place of trial and error or proof.

"Okay, suppose you've agreed to live a normal household life with Darwin. After a month has passed, it turns out that you guys failed because you didn't get any chemistry at all. Then, don't you feel aggrieved? This feels good to Darwin, but no good for you."

Velvet laughed again. Replying to Deasy's gaze, the woman then responded.

"I'm not stupid, Des. So, you don't have to bother telling me what to do. After all, why did you underestimate Darwin so much? Your behavior is very similar to that of a netizen, Julid, who likes to hang out on gossip accounts."

"Yes, because he was an asshole from the start, Ve. It's not really appropriate to accompany you."

Velove smiled slightly, then raised one eyebrow high.

"Then in your opinion, who is suitable for me? Nathan? Why don't you go out with Nathan?"

Deasy was silent for a few moments. This is why Velove suddenly pushed Nathan towards him.

"Yes, Nathan is the one for you. Think about it, while in a relationship, as far as I remember, he never hurt at all. It's pointless to cheat on you all kinds of ways. From here, it's clear that he's 180 degrees different from Darwin," said Deasy with all the arguments which exists. For a moment, the woman caught her breath. After a bit of comfort, I heard Deasy speak again. "Just now, Darwin's attitude has changed for the better because of the effect of being threatened with you, right? If you don't, he must still hurt you by continuing to cheat on you."

Velvet just nodded. Then then speak back.

"Yes, who knows if Darwin has changed now because he really sincerely wants to improve himself to be better. Is it difficult to be given a second chance? After all, everyone has their own past, right? I'm not God, Des. So I have absolutely no right to judge him."

Deasy made herself shake her head hearing Velove's words. He was sure that now, his best friend had really changed.

"This is the fix, you really like Darwin," said Deasy without hesitation.

"Yes, it's okay to like your own husband. That's fine, right?"

Deasy pursed her lips tightly. Just as he was about to argue with Velove's words, he was suddenly surprised by Darwin's presence. Apparently, the man deliberately came to pick up his wife to be invited home.

"Darling, are you done chatting?" asked Darwin when he was standing right in front of his wife.

Previously, he did know that Velove was out with Deasy. Let the wife go first. After his own work at the office was finished, he decided to immediately pick up.

"All right."

"Then can we go home now?" asked Darwin in a gentle tone.

Velvet nodded back. The woman then rose from her seat.

"Let us go home."

Velove then said goodbye to Deasy. Even Darwin also behaved the same way. Unlike before, the man tried to be more friendly by saying good-bye. Then took his wife without being awkward to walk together to the car, then go home.

"Win, who bought this Japanese food you?" asked Velove when he and Darwin were already in the dining room.

After arriving home, the two decided to hurry up and clean themselves up. As soon as he was about to eat dinner, Velove was a little surprised to see various Japanese dishes such as Sushi, Takoyaki, and also Onigiri already served at the dinner table. He was sure that it was Darwin who ordered or bought the food to be on the menu for the two of them tonight.

"Yeah, before picking me up at the cafe, I purposely stopped by to buy all of these so you can have dinner tonight."

Velvet smiled happily. To be honest, she was starting to feel comfortable with the way Darwin was slowly trying to win over her. After all, anyone would melt away if they were treated kindly like this.

"Thank you very much my husband," Velove said sincerely. Which this simple sentence made Darwin aghast for a few moments. How come. This is the first time Velove has called him by an unusual name.

"But, by the way..." Velove continued. "Besides Japanese food, I also like Chinese food. So, so you don't get bored, tomorrow you have to buy Chinese food too for us to eat together."

Darwin snorted. The man then shook his head.

"You jump, huh!"

"All right, Win. Let you be total if you want to pay attention to me," Velove said, winking coquettishly.

"Then, in return for what?"

"For you, I'll cook food using love seasoning. It's fair, isn't it?"

Darwin didn't answer anymore. Choose to eat food that has been served in a calm and silent state. Even Velove did the same thing. When it was about to finish, then Velove again asked him to talk.

"Do you have any plans this weekend?"

Darwin looked up. Throwing a glance at his wife, the man seemed to think for a moment and then replied, "I don't think there is one. Why is that?"

"There's Papa's company birthday. If you're really not busy, I'd like to ask a friend to come to the event. But, if you really can't, I'll have to go together ---"

"Nathan?" Darwin guessed as if he knew Velove's current thoughts.

"You are a shaman, right? How do you know that?"

Darwin at that moment also rolled his eyes in embarrassment. It would be embarrassing if Velove had already discussed anything related to the man he disliked the most, Nathan.

"I'm so lazy to hear your ex's name. Besides, as long as I'm still alive and my status is your husband, I won't let you go with him."

"You are jealous?"

"I'm so lazy to be jealous of him, Ve. Not on the same level."

Velvet smiled broadly. One more thing that made him happy was seeing Darwin as jealous as he was now. Even though her husband was very proud to admit it, his movements and behavior showed the complete opposite.

"So, next weekend you can go out with me, right?"

Darwin nodded without hesitation.

"Yes. I'll accompany you to the event later."

After completely finishing dinner, the two decided to head back to the room first. Darwin himself some time later chose to go to the study because he had to finish the rest of the work he had brought home,

While Velove also did the same thing. Taking a sitting position on the sofa, the woman seemed busy checking some of her work.

Until 10 pm, Darwin decided to finish the activity. As soon as he returned to the room, he found his wife who accidentally fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

Darwin then took the initiative to move Velove. Slowly he grabbed his wife's body to then carry, then lay down on the bed. Help pull up the covers. He even gave a short kiss on his wife's forehead before finally going to sleep like the previous nights.
