Wrinkle of Love by Lucy Ang chapter 3 title Status oh Status
Chapter 3
Although Linda had prepared herself but her heart was still pounding especially when she heard her name called and was welcome to enter the room.
He was eager to see Marco here but he did not dare to ask the other staff. It's just, he will feel a little calm when he sees people he has known.
He came in after sighing and convincing himself then smiled as he entered the room.
About 20 men in luxurious suits sat lined up around a super-large work desk and began to notice his appearance without comment.
His heart thumped even more when he saw the main director's seat still turning around to back him.
Linda mendehem shortly before starting her presentation then began to smile and greet all existing shareholders politely.
He felt relieved when he saw the change in the rigid attitude of the shareholders as he smiled at them.
Almost, he squealed in shock when he saw Marco's twin sitting in the main seat complete with a formal suit that looked very expensive! Quickly, he controlled his surprise and smiled again before starting the presentation of the proposal he had submitted earlier.
Linda's professional appearance convinced Marco that his choice was not wrong!
With his enjoyment, Linda expressed the reason why they should entrust their money into his business, with reasons and business calculations are very convincing. He could see all the shareholders start glancing and giving approval codes to the participants of his choice, but he held back his smile and just looked at Linda without much comment.
Linda feels that she has given a very clear explanation and she hopes to convince all shareholders with her business presentation but she has not dared to look at Marco.
Until the end of his presentation, then he dared to look at Marco. Instead of being angry, but more or less like being lied to and he really doesn't like being lied to!
Question after question began to be asked him about the ups and downs that would occur later.
He answered everything honestly.
Expectations are certainly there but he feels not so confident he can get the investment funds he expected given his attitude to Marco yesterday.
He should have been able to be more formal with Marco! the weakness in the heart.
Linda thanked him for the opportunity he had given her before leaving the room.
Linda didn't know she had to wait or go home and decided to wait for a while after asking the secretary on duty outside.
Not long after, Marco walked out of the room and invited him into his room.
Linda followed him anxiously.
“They all agree but ..“
“But ?“
“They want this business developed here.“
“If in this city actually does not matter, it's just that it will take time to reach prospective clients because they do not know my expertise, yet, after all, the rental price that I budgeted for the proposal that I made was the budget rental price in my city. I need to revisit the rental budget over the next five years and make changes to the budget I submitted.“
Marco was a little speechless for a moment hearing Linda's formal words.
“Linda, did you forget? I want us to forget about the formalities, like yesterday?“
“Yeah, you're right!“ linda sneered unconsciously then corrected her words.
“Of course, why not?!“
“I'm sorry ...,“ said Marco sincerely.
“After all I, hmm.. I have to discuss this matter with my husband first,“ cut Linda fast.
“Hmm, there is one more thing I have to tell you,“ Marco said as he looked doubtfully at Linda.
“What?“ linda's heart was pounding waiting for Marco's words.
“I didn't tell them, you're married.“
“What!?“ tanyanya.
“But why?!“ he added.
“For our company will be more convincing if each participant has not been bound by marriage or any serious relationship so that it can be 100% focused on funded business.“
Linda was silent for a moment to analyze Marco's statement.
“So you mean, the main factor they approved of my proposal is because I am not married and ready to work 24 hours to live my business?“ suhut Linda.
“To focus even more so,“ added Marco quickly.
Linda really doesn't believe in all of Marco's explanations.
“So you mean, I have to lie about my marriage status, to get my business funds?“
“Not lying, it's just that for the next year you are asked to keep your marriage status a secret.“
Linda sighed in annoyance.
“But I don't think I can do that much less hide my marriage. After all, if you all believe me, this will not hinder your assessment of me! It really doesn't make sense!“ erang irritated.
“Linda, try to understand this is a guarantee for us so that you can focus more on living your business.“
“But this doesn't make sense! And I can't take it. Then I'm sorry I haven't been able to meet your acceptance standards.“
Linda said with a witty.
Marco was a little unhappy to hear the vehement rejection from Linda regarding his request.
“You rejected it?!“
“Yah. With a heavy heart I say yes! If there's nothing we're talking about anymore, I'll be home today as well.“
“Shortly! You can't just leave?“
“Of course I can because there's no deal between us. Oh, is it because you guys have paid for my hotel and accommodation, take it easy I will pay for it so as not to burden you!“ linda felt very angry.
“Linda, please listen to me!“
Linda waited reluctantly.
“I've supported you all out, my only mistake is that I cover your status so that they approve my chosen participants, give me time to straighten out this matter, okay?“
Linda did not flinch and just looked at Marco.
“I will definitely say if everything goes smoothly.“
“With smoothly? What do you mean and how long do I have to cover this up? I do not understand, why is this a stumbling block to establish this cooperation!?“
“At least until all is realized and developed.“
It's a challenge for Linda to prove to Marco's company that married women can also develop their careers just as single women can!
Linda started thinking for a moment.
For the preparation and provision of dresses, it takes at least one month until the goods are delivered. A month later, promotions and exhibitions will be held to introduce the new showroom and the third month they can get the results they expect.
Linda sighed while looking at Marco without saying anything.
But three months without her husband?! Linda couldn't imagine it! How could? After all, not necessarily her husband gave her permission and could accept all of this!
Linda is unsure of the challenges she is facing right now.
On the other hand he is eager to prove that married women can also succeed in a career, how is this?!the weakness in the heart.
“How long?“ ask in the end.
“Until everything goes smoothly.“
Linda challenged Marco's gaze.
“I want, you give me a smooth deadline how long?“
“Alright! How about one year?“
Linda laughed at Marco's reply. Then he breathed.
“No,“ Linda replied firmly.
“Six months how?!“ the question quickly prevented Linda's departure.
“Maximum 3 months and you will tell me my true status, then I will bring my husband to live with me here. Besides, if you want my business to be developed here, I need housing facilities and also a car with a driver who always standby to accompany me.“
Three months! marco shouted in his heart.
What can he do in three months!?
“Good. But before that, you should help me close your status.“
“Alright,“ Linda replied in the end hesitantly.
He did not know if the decision he made was right or wrong and how, he could convince Daniel?
Linda took a breath, feeling desperate.
Inwardly, though anxious, Marco laughed at the anxiety Linda was experiencing now.
At least for the next three months Linda will be with him!
He really likes the opportunity he creates, he said with a deep smile.
