Calista: Pursuing the Love of the CEO

Brother's Quarrel

"Astrid why? What the hell is he doing to you again?" Julio tucked his hand between Kalista's fingers. "I think I should talk to him directly if he doesn't have the world."

The boy always acted as he pleased so perhaps, as a future sister-in-law, Julio needed to advise him to be more humble.

"Sister." Kalista squeezes Julio's hand. "Astrid's got a photo of us kissing at Kak Julio's mom's party. He ngancem I—sama Julio's sister to help him marry Sergio. If he doesn't, he'll tell Sergio."

Kalista thought Julio would be very surprised and panicked, because obviously Julio was reluctant to tell Sergio now. But it turns out Julio wasn't that surprised.

He just raised an eyebrow, then shut up.

"Sir Julio isn't angry?"

"No, but I know her." Julio seemed to think for a moment. "Astrid's out there most likely the same, different as you."

"That means?!" Kalista rada offended.

But Julio smiled. "Same someone who seems to care, superwoman who is not afraid of the world when in fact likes to mumpet—"

"I'm not!" refute Kalista, even if you know it's true.

"—Astrid is never afraid. If he wants something, no matter how, he'll get it."

Kalista clucked. He hates the fact that it is and it scares Astrid despite her incredible hate.

"But he came ngancem Kak Julio. She doesn't think Julio isn't scared?"

"Who said I wasn't scared?"

"SO SERIOUSLY?!" If you think Julio will say 'you think I'm gonna tell him to fuck us? cuih, here I'm done' or at least that kind of thing.

If Julio is also afraid of being scared and Sergio is afraid, who is going to fight Astrid?!

Julio laughs. "There is no man who is not afraid of Astrid, Kalista."

"It still means praying with God to let our problems be solved, is that it?"

"Yep."

"Sister!"

Julio laughed, pulling Kalista to lean in his arms.

"Against the poor plus reckless people can't be rushed, honey."

Different from the Kalista shadow, after that they did not devise a plan but ate a sandwich together.

It was common for Julio to spend time in his office even when everyone left the office, including Megan, as she is today. After asking Kalista to come home and of course kiss her as satisfied as possible, Julio remained silent in the office watching the monitor but thought of something else.

Astrid's. He also threatened Julio. Kalista's mind was not wrong, of course Julio was not happy at the step taken by his sister-in-law candidate.

But Julio did not show it to Kalista because .. yes, Julio admitted Kalista would not be able to. Astrid is not against children like Kalista, even if she is brave. So it's better if Kalista thinks it's not too important.

And that threat, the weight of Kalista instead of Julio.

Of course, Julio is threatened because he does not want his sister to know and thinks Julio has been deceiving him, in order to seize the girl he loves so much. But in spite of that, Astrid is threatening Julio that she will announce to all humans on earth that Kalista is a real mistress.

If Mami finds out, their family relationship with Rahadyan will be fractured and the two camps will attack each other. Kalista party must have lost because no one wants to defend the status of concubine.

"Julio." The door of Julio's room opened, revealing the figure of Sergio. "I want to talk."

"Astrid's?"

"That's it, too, but it's actually a Calista."

"What if," Sergio said hesitantly, "what if I ...."

"What if you what?"

Sergio rubbed his own nape, as if he was struggling to say it. "Where would I say Kalista?"

Never did Julio think there would be a day he was stunned at Sergio's declaration of love for Kalista.

"You what?" Julio even wished he had heard wrong but actually knew that he had heard so much.

"Gini, I'm looking at Kalista—a frenzied room either with a helicopter or a kali— jethave Astrid pulled back?"

He means he wants to humiliate Astrid by using his love for Kalista? But Sergio obviously knows he will be rejected.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?" reply Sergio. "Obviously I want to break up with that fucking Feminist."

"I mean, you'll be rejected so what?"

"Please sacrifice something for something."

Sergio squeezed his hands at each other, clearly looking nervous and doubtful.

"I know I must have been rejected, but I've escaped Astrid. As soon as I got out, a lot of time chasing Kalista plus Astrid's mengebales who said she's a concubine."

It was not a bad plan but .. but bad for Julio.

Kalista will really be blacklisted from his family and not only that, because Astrid has a photo threat.

"No." Julio shook his head, immediately rejecting him. "That is a stupid plan." [That's a ridiculous plan.]

"Huh? I think it's good. I'm not embarrassing Kalista. Actually, even I am embarrassed because I will be rejected and I accept the risk. Why is it stupid?"

"What if Astrid keeps chasing you?"

"No. Not likely. How could he have a face if I looked at another woman in front of him, in front of everyone to get on the news?"

"Aha, hold Mami? The Astrid family is not just a 'friend' of our family but also has a long history of business cooperation. You know our relationship with them is a relationship of friends who can stab each other to death, right?"

"So you ask me to stay with her? That devil woman?" [You keep telling me to keep it with him? The devil girl?]

If Julio had explained well that Sergio's plan was risky, Sergio would have understood, but somehow Julio said something rather wrong.

"You fvck her and fvck with her, Sergio. You absolutely enjoy the girl." [You slept with him, Sergio. You obviously enjoy him.]

As expected, Sergio looked at him unhappily. "Oh, so just because I got into the lapse of him means I have to sacrifice my life for him? You know, brother, you should have married him because you were born first. Why should I?"

"She likes you—na, she's obsessed with you and not me." [He's obsessed with you, not me.]

"Lo's a whiz making girls obsessed, huh? I think you're making my girl crazy."

"Calistas are definitely not your girlfriend."

"She will be and it's not your business anymore." [She's gonna be my girlfriend and none of your business anymore.]

Sergio moved, but took the time to say, "From tomorrow let me take care of Kalista. Don't waste my time helping me."

Julio's room door slammed shut, leaving the man to hit the table in annoyance.

Goddamnit!
