Best Defense

A new house coming up.

"And this is the living room on the second floor," A real estate agent spoke as he led me into a brighter room, sunlight streaming through a wall made entirely of glass.

"We call it 'the grand room'. The most beautiful and marvelous view will be seen from this room." He turned to face me with a proud expression and I spontaneously closed my pawning mouth. "The whole building is a work of modern architecture, especially this penthouse. But it's still comfortable for the family, and I can say it's perfect for the kids."

"Oh, that would be so much fun." I tried to smile kindly at him, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the enthusiastic attitude he showed and the fact he was trying to sell me this penthouse fifteen minutes ago made me a little uneasy, sean was in another room answering calls on his phone.

"Look at the sun!" The woman then threw an amazed look out the glass wall with a look that looked as if she was imagining life in a place like this. "Have I told you that you can also see the sunrise and sunset from the main room?"

"No, yet" I replied as she turned her eyes toward me. "I think that's a pretty good point."

"Okay, before we go downstairs and look at the spa room downstairs, have you seen a round table of beautifully polished black marble?" ask again, while showing his charm by brushing his long black hair that decomposes straight.

I shook my head. "Oh, that hasn't been" I said, almost hypnotized by the way it worked. He really knows how to attract potential buyers.

I never imagined I'd have a place this luxurious in my life, I mean. The house that I'm occupying with Sean right now just feels too big, and now he wants us to live in a house that I'm guessing could be twice as big.

Sierra, the real estate agent I'm working with, is an amazing sales and professional. I'm sure the spirit and the positive attitude that comes out of him can make me buy anything he sells, but today I didn't really want to feel that.

After taking me around looking at the other room that kept me flabbergasted, she began to realize I was getting less excited.

"Ma'am, is there something bothering you? If you don't like this place, I've already shown some other penthouse models to your husband, maybe you'd like to see it as a consideration?" ask carefully. His face suddenly felt uneasy watching me stare out at the building where I live now with Sean. The building looks small, but it's still visible because I recognize it so well.

"You won't be able to find a penthouse this tall that's powered by the most advanced technology anywhere. The living room in this penthouse was one thousand two hundred square meters in size! I'm sure you'll like it, ma'am." he muttered again, still trying to interest me.

I gasp. "Oh, no, sorry. This is too big for us." I shook my head before remembering that I was not the only one who had the right to decide to buy this house. "Of course my husband might like it, but I don't really think that we need such a big living room."

I grimaced to imagine how many people would have to work to clean the entire room in this penthouse, and I myself was not prepared to live in a house worth four hundred billion! Come on. I can buy dozens of apartments with that money. Did my husband really lose his mind?

The woman clapped her hands excitedly. "Ma'am! Of course there are many activities you can do with a living room this big." Her lips curled in a very beautiful way. "And in the end I believed Mr. Warner will follow what you say, ma'am. Oh, come on.. isn't this awesome?" Keep trying, girl.

"How, honey?" Sean suddenly walked into the room where we were standing. Her face looks bright, I'm sure she just got happy news from whoever called her.

Sean walked across the room until he stood next to me, his eyes looking at me and Sierra alternately. "Sierra is showing me that round table." I said as I pointed at the table. I smiled at him, painstakingly getting rid of the uncomfortable feeling with his idea of buying this penthouse. "The table looks beautiful."

"The table is made of black marble that is polished beautifully" Sierra said, adding, of course in a dazzling way. That's his job demands.

I shook my head, glancing at Sierra at a glance who was smiling kindly at me. "Not yet, but he's already said we can see the sun rise and set from there."

Sean grinned happily. "That's cool, isn't it?" he muttered while winking a flirtatious eye.

I laughed slowly and then nodded. "Yes, that's cool. I want to see it now."

"Of course, I'll take you there." Sierra started walking, the pounding heels he wore echoed around the room while Sean and I followed in his footsteps from behind.

"You don't like this place" Sean said suddenly, whispering to me so Sierra wouldn't hear what he was saying.

I answered without looking at him. "This place is beautiful, many rooms with advanced technology. I thought it would help." I said trying to sound enthusiastic, but my tone clearly said another.

Sean surprised me by stopping his steps and pulling my hand. "Sierra, we'll catch up," Sierra turned to look at us at a glance, but he quickly nodded and walked back to disappear in the corner of the room.

I took a breath, facing my husband. "Sean, it doesn't matter whether I like it or not, I will follow your will." I said slowly, trying to appreciate his intention to do something for me. For our. But he seems to know I'm lying.

Sean massaged the base of his nose, and somehow I feel bad now. "We need this place, baby. The kids are getting bigger, and maybe some more are coming after Ben and Lily, I want us to get everything ready from now on." Sean held my hands gently. "I know you mind my idea, but think ahead. We still need a bigger house."

"Yesterday Dhea called me and she said my uncle could go back to Indonesia. I want them to occupy our current home. Actually my uncle could have stayed somewhere else but I couldn't have let him be somewhere far from the office. He's a workaholic, and his condition isn't too strong for the commute to the office. Our house is now in the same building as the office and it will be very helpful for the condition. Do you understand, honey?" his long snoring explained with a highlight that was very pleading for my understanding.

Oh, I feel worse now.

"Okay, I'll follow you if that's the reason" I said.

Sean's mouth was curved high. "Good!" He kissed my lips at a glance. "Now, tell me do you really like this place? We can see the others if you want."

"How do I decide if I haven't seen our battle room?" reply me flirty while winking naughty.

Sean rounded his eyes. "Franda, you..." I turned and walked away leaving him. I can guess he's shaking his head right now. "Hey, wait for me, my sex fairy!"

"Hurry up before you lose your dinner menu, Warner!"

This guy is totally unpredictable. He asked me to wear casual clothes, instead of wanting to do something sports-related, he thought about it so I could walk around the whole room without feeling tormented by the shoes Sierra wore.
