Behind The Mask's

Dinner at the Main Mansion

Kaylee can only according to when two female servants are now so prepared herself—give beauty and beauty to Kaylee who just returned from the office. He did not forget about the invitation from Noah through Sebastian a moment ago. It's just, Kaylee felt uncomfortable when the waiter even wanted to help her to take a bath.

So laughable. Kaylee shook her head. “I can do it myself, okay? Wait outside only.” Without waiting for the maid's approval, Kaylee walked in and locked the bathroom door.

He's very frustrated. At first, he thought he would be able to think calmly before meeting the Garfield family, it was not that easy.

Kaylee immediately rushed to take a shower. The initial intention that previously wanted to soak—calm the contents of his mind that was so confused, he had to stop doing it. Remembering, he should immediately prepare himself. Kaylee performed her bathing ritual—gutat for a while until the scent of roses so pronounced on her body. Kaylee came out with a bathrobe .

He could see how the waiter was still with his position— ready to serve Kaylee who was actually reluctant to be served. He felt he could do it alone. Only, the two servants were reluctant to obey for fear of Noah's anger. Kaylee, just according to.

This time, Kaylee wore a knee-length dress with a-line dress— model has a very distinctive cut like the letter A, made to narrow but the bottom is getting wider. The makeup that Kaylee used to do on her own, is now taken over by them. It looks so beautiful and natural. Not to forget, they tidied Kaylee's straight hair into a little wavy with a half-up hairstyle of half-pigtail that they added with pearl pin. Looks very elegant.

Everyone who saw Kaylee's beauty would not blink and would be reluctant to turn away. In fact, Kaylee felt like she was not herself after looking in the mirror. The figure looks perfect and without gaps. Kaylee.

“Mistress, Mr. Garfield is waiting for Madam in the main room,” said one of them. Kaylee expressed her admiration for herself.

Sling Back Heels in sky blue that matches the dress was then heard. Kaylee slowly set the pace for the main hall. Riding the elevator, Kaylee was able to quickly get to the floor the waiter was referring to. In the elevator, he was so agitated and scared. What if he makes a mistake at a big dinner?

“Is Noah going to kill me?” ask him to yourself. Not long ago, the elevator door opened and showed the main room is so spacious and luxurious interior.

Surrounded by anxiety, Kaylee continues to pull the pace of— while looking for the whereabouts of someone who turns his back on him. Noah was talking to someone. So Kaylee chose to shut up, waiting for Noah to turn around and say something.

“Good, Sebastian. Everything you finished reviewing, send it to my email. I'll check it soon after dinner.” Then Noah turned off the phone and put it in the pocket of a dark blue suit—so fitting when they were together.

“Tuan ..”

Hearing that voice, Noah turned around. Highlight her sharp eyes can see Kaylee with a dress she chose— very fit and elegant the woman was wearing. In fact, Noah couldn't blink for a few seconds until the man shook his head, leaving Kaylee clueless.

“Good, we'll be going to the main mansion soon. No need to think strange. Just be yourself and I'll do the rest. Understand?”

Funny thing is, Kaylee nodded. Maybe the effect of Noah's assertive voice that makes his guts shrink. After all, who can be themselves when in such an intimidating state? Noah was like that, what if he met the rest of Noah's family? Kaylee held her breath.

“God, what should I do?”

...***...

The black Bugatti Chiron car with a little orange alloy splits the road in the dark of a slightly cold night. However, Kaylee felt so cold piercing the skin by sitting side by side with Noah who was now in control of the girl. The reason, Noah who exuded a cold and haughty aura— said nothing but his words in the mansion earlier.

In fact, it lasted until it arrived at a mansion that was large, spacious and luxurious—like if they arrived at a palace. Kaylee's mouth and two eyes were even round in disbelief. He was not aware if it was like that, lucky Noah realized it and that was when Noah opened the door.

“Do not overdo it. Relax and shut your mouth,” said Noah coldly as he stretched out his fingers. Kaylee shut her mouth with a blinked eye. He was a little embarrassed then quickly grabbed the offer.

“I'm sorry.”

There is no lawfulness whatsoever. Noah clasped Kaylee's cold fingers which of course is currently so tense. Moreover, when they have been welcomed by the servant— led to enter the dining room— where everyone has been waiting. Kaylee grew increasingly tense seeing so many people filling the long table. Garfield—'s extended family made it even more desperate.

Noah could understand Kaylee's current condition. “Pacify yourself and be yourself.”

That's all Kaylee heard when they were actually at the dinner table.

“Finally, the anticipated has arrived,” said a middle-aged man. Kaylee knew the man. Arthur Garfield's.

“We're late. I have a lot of work.” Noah said as he led Kaylee to sit in an empty chair—right next to the empty chair he wanted to sit in. Of course, Kaylee just complied. Don't know what to say. However, seeing the look on her strange face made Kaylee gulp.

“It's okay, Noah. Enjoy this dish and who is the woman you brought?” ask a woman who looks so glamorous and classy. Looked at Kaylee cynically.

Can Kaylee be with a guy like Noah in the future?

As a result, by holding all the flavors, Kaylee stood up slowly. I forgot to smile as usual. “Goodnight. My name is Kaylee Mercier. Glad to join us at dinner tonight,” said Kaylee trying to calm down. He lowered his head slowly and then sat back when he got an order from Arthur—sang head of the family.

The woman who had previously asked about herself returned a cynical look before putting on a friendly face. “It's nice to know you. Luckily, Noah immediately introduced you to Kaylee and oh yeah, what's your job right now and you graduate where?” ask the woman. Pamela Bowe—wife of Giffrey Garfield.

Hearing that question, made Kaylee grimace a little. He expected a little of this question. “I work as a financial staff at Diamond Garfield and I graduated in Accounting at LV University,” he said who tried to calm—as ordered by Noah.

Pamela seemed to dislike hearing it, at least Kaylee chose something to be proud of. However, Pamela still tried to follow the flow that was in her mind.

“Oh yes, Kaylee you should get to know Garfield's extended family, your future husband. Here, who became the head of the family was the father of—Arthur Garfield, Grandpa Noah who became the shareholder of all Diamond Garfield. Then, I have three children, the late Damian Garfield, who is none other than the father of your future husband, previously served as CEO, who is now down to Noah, his only son, who is,” said Pamela who made Kaylee turn to Noah— there was no expression she saw when her father called. Kaylee certainly knew that Noah's parents had died in an accident a few years ago. Kaylee only knew that, because Noah didn't explain anything anymore.

Then, Pamela pointed towards a man Kaylee recognized. That is the Personnel Director of Diamond Garfield. “Then the middle child was my husband, Giffrey Garfield who is now the Director of Diamond Garfield Personnel and I am his wife, Pamela Bowe, I am the founder and owner of P&B Jewelry, and I am the owner,” said with a proud smile.

Kaylee can understand that. It was only fitting that the woman was so full of jewels on her body. About P&B Jewelry, it is a famous jewelry brand in Las Vegas and has used some famous holiwood actresses.

“And there, it was my daughter, Poppy Bowe Garfield, the best-predicated education graduate at London Universty. Now a lecturer at LV University and next to him is Brian Marcelar, my son-in-law who is none other than the owner's son from LV University who is now passed down to him.”

Kaylee almost choked. He tried to remember the last time he saw the face of the man named Brian and knowing from the woman, Kaylee could only smile thinly while bowing her head.

“It's great to meet Professor Brian and Processor Poppy,” Kaylee said. Both smiled kindly.

“Yes, nice to know you Kaylee. I immediately remembered you and was quite surprised by your change now. However, I admit you are the best in the Accountancy section by winning many awards,” said Brian. According to Kaylee, the man was friendly. Kaylee also almost included the name Poppy if the woman did not show her dislike when Brian praised.

“Oh yes, I have the youngest son but currently in Germany. His name is George Garfield, currently studying aviation in Germany. It will be completed this year and that one is the youngest child of this family, Van Garfield— owner and one of the famous surgeons at Royal Garfield Hospital. Next to her is Axela Lim, she works as an Obstetrician there.”

Then, Pamela ended the introductory session that she did. There wasn't much talk after Kaylee showed her the pleasure of joining the dinner.

“Please enjoy the food that has been served,” said Arthur as an opener. It doesn't say much.

Giffrey who saw that, chose to smile wryly at Noah who started to enjoy his food. “What is my Nephew? You choose a woman left behind by her ex-husband to accompany the rest of your life? Is the stock of single girls so little?” he said it made everyone surprised.

The shocked Poppy looked at Kaylee in surprise. “A widow? Isn't that funny?”

“Noah, you should have asked help—“

“I do not need anyone's help in choosing,” said Noah who is still focused on his food, but his words that sound so cold. Some people are surprised, but reluctant to say—just listen.

“But my cousin Noah, you have to think about the family reputation,” Poppy said and turned to Arthur.  “Grandfather, say something! You still approve of this marriage?”

Kaylee was uncomfortable. Everyone cornered and intimidated him this time. He could have guessed that this would happen. He was getting scared and scared. It's just that Kaylee suddenly felt the grip of someone's hand so warm on her fingers, turned to her with a simple smile—for the first time, Kaylee saw that. Noah's smile then turned back on his head.

“I will only marry Kaylee Mercier or not at all.”

The sentence Noah said that made Kaylee's hair bristle. Some people did not like the words of Noah that sounded so stern. Even when Noah now looks one by one the existing family and then stop at the head of the family who still chooses silence.

“Grandfather, we've discussed this before,” he said coldly.

Arthur who heard that indeed confirmed it in his heart. He even agreed by giving an invitation for a meeting like this. As a result, no one can oppose what will happen. Arthur is now nodding.

“Marriage solution, looks like you already understand what you're going to do, Noah. Do what you think is right and please continue your dinner.”

That's all Arthur said. Kaylee blinked her eyes, but her blessing was so clear and Kaylee could see Mr. Giffrey with her family staring at her dislike. Very clearly, they were flying the war flag from this moment on to him.
