Dusk In Moorea

HR#67

Duke Xander smiled. His heart inside there had already started beating with a slightly firmer rhythm than before. The defiance of the Asian girl before him caused Duke Xander to be slightly provoked in emotion. It is very rare for him to experience when dealing with other people.

"Aren't you afraid of the consequences you'll have if you dare to refuse my orders ?" duke Xander asked with his carrier who was still trying to remain calm.

"What consequences will I have if I break your orders, Duke ?" Arumi asked back.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your job ?"

Arumi chuckles cynically. "What is your expertise - that's it, Duke ? Always makes people lose their jobs. Don't you feel that your actions are a little cowardly ?" Now, the girl's face began to look angry.

"Just take it that way" Duke Xander said.

"Indeed, why do you want to throw me away from this country ?"

"Don't you already know the answer ?"

"No. I don't know" replied Arumi firmly.

Duke Xander sighed. The girl before him really wanted to make him wrath big.

"Because you've dared to tease my son !"

"Tempting ? I never teased your son at all, Duke ! He himself came to me," replied Arumi did not accept. Duke Xander doesn't know anything about the real story. So, why did the man now judge him as if he was the wrong one. In fact, if Leon was honest from the beginning that he was engaged, Arumi would also not be willing to open his heart too deeply.

"I know what kind of girl you are ! The girl who only seeks treasure and position for the sake of raising your social rank ! Isn't that ?" duke Xander's verdict was unilateral.

"You're wrong, Duke ! Not all women are the same as you say !" arumi's quick refute.

"Aren't you married to your former husband for property and throne ? You even kidnapped your own sister to make your obsession happen !" Duke Xander smiled triumphantly. What part of the girl's past in front of him does she not know ?

Arumi's eyes started to glaze over. Really ! Duke Xander's words were already completely outrageous. The girl looked up at the luxurious ceiling of the restaurant. Trying to keep her tears from spilling in front of Leon's father. He mustn't look weak or Duke Xander will get in the upper hand.

"If you don't know anything, then you better shut up, Duke !" angrily Arumi held back the anger.

"You offended ?" asked the Duke with a raised next to his eyebrows.

Arumi turned her eyes back to the ceiling. Again, he did not want to look weak in the presence of Duke Xander.

"What would you give me if I granted your wish ?" ask Arumi.

Duke Xander grinned. Then, the man clapped his hands and a man appeared carrying a suitcase from the entrance and walked over to them. The man opened the contents of the suitcase and placed it on the table, facing Arumi.

"Is a million dollars enough" asked Duke Xander confidently.

Arumi looked at the money in the suitcase. The girl snarled in the heart. Does Duke Xander think his pride can be bought with money ?

"Why ? You can open your own boutique with this kind of money. Isn't that what your dream is ? Or, what's the money less ?"

"really. My dream is to have my own shop. But, not with any money from you, Duke !"

"Thank you or the Aldric family I'll make more suffer than this" Duke Xander threatened.

Arumi clenched her hands under the table. Duke Xander held onto his last weakness, the Aldric family. How could Arumi let the Aldric family get into trouble just because of her again ? No. gabe. That's not gonna happen. It was enough sacrifice that Charlie and his parents made just for her sake.

"I have another request" Arumi said later.

"Say !"

"Give Uncle Charles back his job and promise not to bother his family again."

Without a second thought, Duke Xander immediately accepted the offer. That's something that's easy for him. It was as easy as breathing the air freely.

"All right !" duke Xander replied. "As long as you can leave before my son forever, I will grant you," Duke Xander said lightly.

"You better keep your word, Duke !" Arumi stood up with teary eyes. The girl wanted to leave immediately but was stopped by Duke Xander.

"Take the money !" duke Xander said.

Arumi's tears are already dripping. Not heeding Duke Xander's orders, the girl still stepped out of there. Duke Xander coded the man with a suitcase containing a million dollars to intercept Arumi at the door.

"You must not go anywhere before obeying the Duke's orders, Miss !" prevent the man while boycotting Arumi street with his big body.

Arumi turned back to face Duke Xander with a hateful look. Duke Xander smiled. Enjoyed the misery that the girl felt thanks to her actions. In the end, it is a rule that must be followed by anyone. No exception to the haughty girl before him.

"Take ! Don't sell expensive !" duke Xander's lips.

Arumi stepped up quickly and picked up the suitcase filled with cash that was located on the table. It was the only option available if he wanted to quickly leave here. Before leaving, the girl smirked towards Duke Xander. I don't know what the plan is in his brain right now.

"Let me pass !" arumi said to the man who was still standing at the door.

Without waiting for a response, Arumi just barged through the exit. He stepped up while carrying a suitcase filled with money that had just been given by Duke Xander. Arriving at a very crowded restaurant area, Arumi opened the suitcase. Spilling its contents into the air until everyone who was there screamed hysterically and raced to pick up the money that was scattering on the floor.

Meanwhile, Arumi resumed his steps after throwing the empty suitcase into a nearby trash can. The girl then walked out of the restaurant in a confident manner.

"My worth is not worth the money" Arumi murmured inwardly.

"A fascinating girl !" praise Duke Xander for following Arumi from behind. He saw everything. Seeing how brave the girl defied his orders without fear.

The man stood up while staring at Arumi's back which eventually disappeared behind the restaurant door. He is not at all disturbed by the many people who are racing to pick up money scattered on the floor. Not only visitors, even restaurant employees do not want to lose. Everyone is too crazy with those sheets.
