Contest to be Wife of the President

CH-45 Barter Charge

The night had come, the darker the night was, the more beautiful the lights looked. If Lorena saw the scene in front, not with Sean, she even noticed the girl who was enjoying the view in the valley, the view in the valley was no prettier than the girl's backup beside her.

The car of Mr. Denipun's entourage has arrived at the grilled corn stalls, they so follow shelter in separate stalls with stalls where Sean is located. They relax eating grilled corn with hot coffee, during a spatter. It was still raining that night but not as hard as the afternoon.

They sat down while looking at the view to the valley.

“Life recently I was paid just to wait for the President to date,” said one of the employees who was with Mr. Deni. Make other employees laugh.

“Have enjoyed it, the important ones are paid, or we can ask for overtime money, sir?” ask his friend to Mr. Deni.

“If the mood of Mr. Sean is good, the wealth will be acc asked to be counted overtime,” replied Mr. Deni followed by another laugh.

Sean saw Lorena start yawning.

“You sleepy?” ask Sean.

“Iya, why sleepy yes, even though I slept quite soundly,” Lorena replied, while hugging both knees.

“If you want, you can lean on my shoulder,” said Sean carefully, he did not want to be considered a flirtatious man, even Lorena so do not like it.

Lorena looked at Sean.

“Can I lean?” tanyanya.

“Ya may,” replied Sean steadily. Lorena thought for a while, then shifted her seat closer and leaned her head against Sean's shoulder.

The man smiled, the girl leaned against his shoulder. If they were lovers, maybe he was hugging her, and tonight would be even more beautiful.

Sean heard his phone ringing, he opened it, it turns out a message from Deni sir told him they had arrived at the stall.

“What will we spend the night?” ask Mr. Deni in a message.

Sean glanced at Lorena who was leaning against his shoulder. The girl was still at home to see the scenery in the valley.

“Ke your house about how many hours?” ask Sean.

“About 4-5 more times,” Lorena replied.

Sean saw the clock on his phone at 8 p.m., meaning they would be at Lorena's house around 12 to one o'clock at night.

“What we will find lodging?” sean asked, hesitatingly, he did not want to be labeled a perverted man.

“Now what time?” ask Lorena.

“Jam 8,”answer Sean.

“Then we leave now, later too late to home,” said Lorena. Waking up from her back. Actually Sean is still at home Lorena leaning on his shoulder, but if it's too late also pity Lorena, have not had to find lodging again.

“You sure we're leaving now?” sean asked, looking at Lorena, he actually did not have the heart to interfere with her pleasure but in the stall until too late was also not good for her health.

Lorena nodded.

“You still feel at home here?” ask Sean again.

“Lain time we come here again,” replied Lorena.

Sean looked at the girl, it seemed like Lorena was still at home, maybe next time they came here again.

Sean sent Mr. Deni a message that they would continue their journey.

Lorena stood staring once more into the valley, then out of the stall followed Sean.

Sean saw his employee's car at the end of the shop. He gets into his car, followed by Lorena.

During the journey Lorena did not say much, she fell asleep soundly, luckily she was wearing Sean's thick blazer, so her body felt warmer.

Four hours later, his car entered a large street. Sean looked around, it turned out that it was urban. She thought Lorena said coming home meant her house was in the village, she was wrong, they were in a crowded city.

“Where else are we? It's already urban,” asked Sean, Lorena seemed to blink her eyes, she fell asleep for a long time.

“Sorry I was sleepy earlier,” said Lorena, fixing her seat and looking out. He also gave way to his house. An hour later, they entered an increasingly crowded city center.

“Where is your house?” sean asked, he was still confused, because after being shown the same address Lorena even more into the city center, he thought would enter the corner.

“That, that whitewashed house,” said Lorena, pointing to a house to the left of the highway.

Sean looked at the house Lorena pointed to, in front of him was a house that looked a bit far from the highway but the gate was right on the main road.

He saw the house number.

“This is your home?” he asked while stopping his car.

Sean turned to the left, there was a tall sturdy fence, on the left right of the fence there were vines.

Sean frowned, didn't he look wrong? Lorena house is very magnificent like office houses, the price of the house must be billions of rupiah let alone in the city center.

“Iya, that's my home,” Lorena replied. Sean turned his car around and stopped in front of the fence. Lorena pressed the horn a few times. The security guards came down to the gate.

Lorena turned her head to the security guard.

“It's me Sir!” his yell.

The security guard blinked his eyes, he did not expect that his master would come this late in an unfamiliar car.

Not long after the gate was opened. Sean runs his car into the gate. Sean still could not believe what he saw, everything was completely unexpected.

It was Sean's estimation that his name returned home, in addition to his house was accommodated, the house occupied was simple or at least good, but it turned out that the house called my house by Lorena was very grand and luxurious.

“This is your home?” ask him again.

“Iya,” Lorena replied.

Sean didn't talk anymore, he was still shocked to find Lorena the son of a rich man! But why did he enter the contest? Tough to learn to cook and wash everything?

The car stopped in front of the terrace. Lorena immediately came out followed Sean, she felt confused, who exactly is Lorena? Why is he living in this magnificent house? Why would Lorena bother to enter an all-out contest? The question kept popping into his head.

When I entered the house, it felt so quiet.

“Who do you live here with?” ask Sean.

“Self,” replied Lorena.

“Self?” sean asked in disbelief.

“My parents are overseas,” Lorena replied.

“Yes my cousin sometimes plays here or stays, but it's also rare,” continued Lorena.

Sean was still confused by this fact, he wondered why Lorena had entered the contest? With her beauty as well as her status, there must be many men who like her. Sean was getting dizzy thinking about the many rivals he would face if he wanted to marry Lorena.

“Night miss,” greet someone who entered the guest room.

“Pak Firman, please prepare a guest room for my friend,” said Lorena.

The man who was called Mr. Firman nodded, then left them.

Lorena turned to look at Sean. If Lorena used to wonder who Sean was, now Sean turned around to ask who exactly Lorena was? It should be so hard to make the girl fall in love with him, since the girl already had everything, she really had to work hard to make Lorena fall in love with him.

“Tonight you spend the night here, later Mr. Firman will show you his room,” said Lorena.

“If you need anything just tell Mr. Firman. My room is over there, I want a break, tomorrow we talk again,”, Lorena said.

Sean just nodded.

“Good night,” said Lorena.

“Night,” replied Sean. He saw Lorena climb the stairs of the house, turning to the right. Sean just stared at the girl who was still wearing her clothes up the stairs of his house one by one. His heart was partly wondering, would he succeed in making Lorena fall in love? If to get another girl, the lure of treasure alone might be easy to get it, but what about Lorena? Seeing him pass through the stairs of this magnificent house alone, he felt like he had seen a royal princess in a fairyland.

“The room is ready,” said Mr. Firman, suddenly appeared. Sean nodded, he also followed Mr. Firman to another spacious room, there was also a ladder that was as big as the stairs that had just this turn to the left.

Sean sent a message to all his employees to find the nearest hotel.

While typing a message to Mr. Deni, faint sounding violin music playing.

“What does Lorena play the violin? Isn't the room in another room?” inner Sean.

He approached the window, and opened the curtains. He smiled when he saw the shadow of a girl sitting and playing the violin music. Sean smiled again, apparently the room opposite the window with Lorena's room.

Sean imagined that if in the morning he opened the window and Lorena was the same then they would meet each other's eyes, very sweet.

The silhouette shadow looked so beautiful. The girl was still wearing her oversized blazer, sitting next to her window while playing the violin, a song she used to play while in contract.

“I fell in love with you, I really fell in love with you,” Sean said.

He stood at the window for a long time until the sound of the music disappeared, and the girl closed the curtains so thick that there was no more silhouette of the girl.

Sean did the same thing, closed the window curtains, then lay down on the bed. What's he supposed to do now? Now he lives in the girl's house. Is he going back to the capital tomorrow?

Sean was confused. He was still at home with Lorena. Seeing Lorena's true condition made her even more afraid of losing the girl, what if Lorena really did not return to the contest? He would really feel what it was like to be heartbroken, not to see him for days alone he felt empty in his heart, especially if it was to lose him?

Because a lot of what Sean thought, he went to bed early in the morning.

The next day…

Sean's phone kept ringing dozens of times. With heavy eyes, he reached for the phone.

“Halo!” swipe with lethargy.

“Siang Sir, where are you?” there was the voice of Mr. Deni from across the street.

“Siang,” Sean replied, suddenly he was surprised by what he said. Noon Ko? He opened his eyes wide, it was already noon. He hurriedly got up and opened the curtains of his bedroom, the high sun instantly dazzled his eyes.

He saw the clock on the wall at 11 p.m. Geez he slept so well that he woke up this afternoon.

“Yes Mr. Deni, I'm at my girl's house,” Sean replied.

“Girl? My girl?” asked Deni, not understanding.

Sean held his forehead, he confusedly explained it to Mr. Deni.

“Girl is with me,” replied Sean.

“Yes sorry,” said Mr. Deni, feeling uncomfortable with his reaction.

“Where are you?” ask Sean.

Pak Deni mentioned the hotel where Mr. Deni and his employees stayed.

“Alright I'll be there now,” Sean said. After hanging up, Sean took a shower and changed his clothes.

When he came out of his room, the house felt very quiet, not much different from his house, only alone, he still mending there Sam who occasionally accompanied him.

While going down the stairs, he met Mr. Firman.

“Pak, where's Lorena?” tanyakanya.

“Nona Lorena was outside,” replied Mr. Firman.

Only then did Mr. Firman answer, who was asked to come out of the door.

“You're up?” she cried with a smile, the girl looked cheerful this morning, not morning, but this afternoon.

Sean looked at Lorena's fresh-looking face.

“You want to go?” lorena asked when she saw Sean was tidying up and his hand was holding the car keys.

“I have business with my friend,” replied Sean.

“So you have a job with your friends in this city too?” lorena asked not understanding.

“Yes, it might make me stay in this city for a long time, Sean replied.

“So yes,” said Lorena.

Sean seemed to think of something.

“Mmm while I have a job in this city, can I sign here?” ask Sean.

“What? Contracting my house?” ask Lorena.

“Iya,” replied Sean.

“Mmm.” Lorena seemed to think.

“If I stay in a hotel, my money will run out for the cost in the hotel,” Sean said reasoned, actually he is just heavy to part with Lorena.

Lorena still did not answer.

“You're gonna have rent debt at my house, so you don't have to pay, so we're even. I only contracted for a few days here until I return to the capital, but you can forever contract at my house, how about?” ask Sean.

“You are here how many days?” ask Lorena.

“About 10 days less,” replied Sean.

Lorena thought it was the same as the day she returned to the capital to take part in the contest.

“10 days?” ask Lorena.

“Iya, so we can go to the capital together again” replied Sean.

Lorena still did not reply, she looked at Sean.

“Later on you can stay at my house for free,” Sean said.

Lorena thought again, there was no harm in bartering the rent, so she had no debt to Sean.

“You're serious I'm free to stay at your house if you're here a few days?” ask Lorena.

Sean nodded.

“Alright then,” replied Lorena.

“You can let your parents know first and I don't care,” Sean said. He thought that even if he had to be raided to get quickly married to Lorena as well he was no problem, even better.

“Alright, my parents will let me. You're my friend, you've been kind to me too,” said Lorena. Hearing him made Sean feel happy, even though Lorena called him just a friend.

“So you want to get out now?” ask Lorena.

“Yes, I will meet my friend now, maybe go home late at night, a lot of work,” Sean replied. Mr. Deni and other employees were waiting for him at the hotel where they were staying.

“Eh you sleep usually what time?” sean suddenly remembered something.

“Why are you asking for my bedtime?” lorena asked, not understanding.

“Just ask,” replied Sean.

“Jam 10-11 nights,” says Lorena.

Sean smiled, he asked Lorena for sleep, meaning that he would limit his working hours as well so that he could go home and listen to Lorena play the violin.
