Embrace Love's

Ch 104's. Persuade

Catalina took Marylin's hand. They stepped together while carrying grocery bags.

Marylin and Catalina decide to go to a supermarket near the apartment, so they can go on foot. Now their two grocery bags are full and they are already heading home.

Marylin saw the cafe across the street, where she and Serge often drank and chatted while on holiday, then she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" ask Catalina.

"Do you want us to have a chat over a drink at the cafe?" Marylin pointed towards the cafe.

Catalina nodded and took Marylin who led her across the street.

Inside a black car parked on the side of the highway, Annete watched the two brothers closely. He looked at Marylin and felt a little relieved, the woman looked fine. His family doctor who examined Marylin at the time was right by saying that getting together with the family can help Marylin.

Annete tidied up his simple clothes, then held an old-fashioned handbag that he deliberately carried as his disguise. After wrapping a scarf around her neck, Annete got out of the car.

"Get me if I call you later" Annete told the driver. The man nodded, then drove away from Annete.

Annete went to the front of the cafe, then deliberately he dyed like a confused person. He stood there for a long time, pretending to keep checking his phone.

Inside the cafe, Marylin frowned at the figure of a woman standing on the sidewalk holding a cell phone. The clear glass cafe gives a very clear view for him.

"What's wrong?" ask Catalina.

"That's .. Did you see that woman? I think I know him ...."

Then Marylin recognized and remembered who the woman was.

"Wait here, Lina!" Marylin got up and took a quick step out of the cafe.

"Annete!?" hello Marylin.

Annete turned his head and immediately put on a surprised face.

"Mar ... Marylin?" he asked as if in disbelief.

Marylin smiled, then approached when she saw Annete spread out both hands and laughed happily. Annete hugged and kissed Marylin's cheeks left and right.

"Oh my goodness ... My darling! I can't believe I saw you here! "

"Me too! I looked inside .. I was afraid of misrecognizing. But it turns out that you're right" Marylin said. It was a little strange to see that the woman in the mansion in the mountains could suddenly be here. But he kept his taste.

"Oh, I'd like to meet a friend .. but the phone can't be reached ...." Annete frowned in his heart because of the lie he had uttered.

"When did you get out of that place, Annete?" ask Mary.

"That's ...." Annete was uncomfortable. Marylin realized they were still on the side of the road.

"Will you join us? We were chatting in there," Marylin asked Annete.

"Of course, hon. I also want to ask you how you are doing" Annete said. Mary was instantly speechless, forgetting that Annete knew what had really happened to her at the Cougar Mansion.

"But Annete ... please don't mention the events in the mansion in front of my sister .. I mean about the incident with Mr. Lucca at that time." Marylin looked at Annete's slightly surprised face.

"Sure, sure, Mary ...." Annete smiled and followed as Marylin led her into the Cafe.

So Mary had not told her sister about it. Annete frowned in surprise.

"Hello, Miss. You must be Mary's sister" Annete said as he reached out.

"Yes, that's right Madam ...."

"Oh! Call me Annete! Mary called me that too."

Catalina smiled, liking the friendly woman. The woman is about 50 years old, or maybe more. Have black hair that has been overgrown with gray hair in some places. But his movements are still agile and nimble. He also seemed excited when he talked to Mary.

"You've known each other for a long time?" ask Catalina.

"Mnh ...." Annete looked at Mary, confused to answer honestly or not.

"We met at Mr. Lucca's mansion, Lina ... Annete helped me back then, also accompanied me when I was scared."

Annete took a deep breath, extending a hand grasping Mary's hand.

"You're really okay?" tanyakanya.

Marylin simply replied with a smile.

"When did you get out of there, Annete?" ask Marylin. Wondering when Annete left the Cougar Mansion.

"Not long after you left, Mary. I'm going to retire from there."

"Oh ... Where do you live now?"

"I have a room not far from here in an apartment. I live with my son .. well, he rarely comes home. So you could say I live there alone. Now that I'm waiting for my friend, we promised to meet in front of the cafe .. but it looks like something's getting in the way."

Their conversation stalled when a waiter brought Marylin and Catalina's order. Mary asks Annete if he wants a drink too. Annete asked for the same order as the two women.

After the servant passed, Annete turned back to Marylin.

"Where do you live, Mary?" ask Annete, even though he actually knows where the woman lives.

"Of course, hon. Sure ...."

The three then continued chatting until finally their drinks ran out. They exchanged phone numbers before finally waving to each other and saying goodbye.

Annete smilingly looked at the two women who passed by, already three weeks after the terrible event in his son's study at the time. He hopes Marylin's condition that looks fine is indeed the actual condition. Annete really did not want the woman to fall and bear the trauma that would interfere with her life in the future.

"What do you want?" Serge looked at the two men in front of him with a cold gaze. He decided to accept Mr. Lucca's invitation to meet and talk in private. They met at a fancy restaurant with a special table that Mr. Lucca had ordered.

"I'll discuss Marylin's problem ...," Alric replied.

"About what? His unfinished work? The contract that wasn't done!?" ejek Serge's.

"Mary can do the job again if she wants to. His contract won't be a problem even if he decides to quit."

"Well, you're good today ...." Back Serge scoffed.

"Listen Serge .. You'll be unemployed and unemployed if Mary decides to quit. I came here to make you an offer." Alric looked at Serge who was frowning as he said the word unemployment.

"What offer?"

"Job .. for you."

"What's his job?"

"Being a bridge for me and Mary."

Serge raised an eyebrow, remaining silent for a while before finally laughing out loud.

"Stop it right now, Sergio Eneas! Mr. Lucca is speaking seriously!" Diego looked at Serge who kept laughing.

After a while, Diego pulled the tissue on the table and wiped his eyes, then he looked at Alric with a sharp look. The amused face that had just been seen on his face had already changed into a cold and calculating face.

"The "bridge? What else do you want from my girl! It wasn't enough to scare him the other day just because of your misunderstanding!" Serge said spicy after being able to stop the laughter.

"I want you to persuade Mary .. to see me. I'm gonna have Diego deliver a dinner invitation to her. Your job is to persuade him to come. If you need to come too, so he doesn't get scared."

"Fear!? Hakhs! You said scared!? My Mary is a brave girl! What reason should he be afraid of you! He's hysterical at the Cougar Mansion because you locked him up with two mountain lions! Anyone would be afraid if it would be made into food by being torn! You idiot!"

Diego clenched his hand and was just about to move towards Serge, not liking to hear Serge cursing at his master, when Alric's hand was raised to stop him.

"I'm glad he's not scared. So it will be easy for you to persuade her to accept my invitation." Alric realized, Serge did not offend any other actions he had done other than to lock Mary up. Has Mary not told him? Why does the woman keep it to herself? It must have been a wound in his soul, right?

Serge narrowed suspiciously towards Alric.

"Say what do you want to see him?" ask Serge.

"I'd like to see him to apologize ...." Alric said firmly and confidently. Making Serge fixate for a moment looking at him.

"Of course I have to apologize to you too. My misunderstanding makes you have to experience something unpleasant."

"Not that bad you said!? You're the breks*k guy! You should try to sleep in that cage for days like I've been!" cetus Serge is upset.

"I'm sorry .. and I'm also offering compensation. New job for you. I see you're good as Marylin's manager. If you're interested, Frans Humberto needs a manager. You know that model guy, don't you!?" ask Alric.

Serge glared at Alric.

"You said Frans Humberto!?" Serge stared in disbelief at Alric. Who does not know on that one international model, Serge thought.

"He has three managers. One of them just stopped. If you're interested, I can make a recommendation. They will accept you right away. But of course .. That's if you have the ability, Serge. You know what their star class takes care of it ...." Alric deliberately provoked the soul of Serge's competition.

"In addition, her salary is double your salary and Marylin's current salary combined."

Serge seems interested.

"So it won't affect if later Mary really has to stop working. You already have a huge income." Alric continued to persuade Serge.

"I became suspicious .. You must want something!?" Serge again narrowed suspiciously.

Alrico Lucca for the first time smiled in his meeting with Serge. He knew he had gotten his wish when he saw a ray of interest in Serge's eyes.

"I've said it since, Serge ... I'd like to apologize ...."
