Bailey’s Villa

06.25

Corrine moaned, the ringing of her phone so noisy in the morning like this. Corrine blinked her eyes, starting to get used to it. He looked up at the ceiling of the luxurious Villa, one of the Villas his father recommended was indeed very good, one of the best Villas in the country, but I don't know, I don't know, compared to his home in France it is obviously very much different. But it was clear, he loved staying at this Villa more because he did not have to meet his father every day. It does not have to be arranged by the father.

For the third time Corrine's phone rang, he swore the call was Dana, his personal assistant. He would fire her this very second. He was so sleepy after thinking pleasantly about Matt until three in the morning, and he desperately needed a break at this time.

“Halo?” Corrine frowned, there was no answer across there.

“If you don't talk, I'll-“ Corrine's speech is truncated.

“Corrine Edmond, to workspace now!”

The call turned off unilaterally, Corrine was startled and stared at her phone. ‘Worst dad.’

Ohhh... No, did he make a mistake? Why is his father like this? Corrine quickly cleaned herself up and changed her clothes to pastel pink casual clothes. With great hesitation he opened the door of his study in the Villa.

Corrine flinched, the father already in front of her with a man on his back. Since when has his father been in the country? It takes 13-14 hours to come from France. And he swore last night his father wasn't here yet.

But other than her father who caught her attention, Corrine also stared at the back of a man who was behind her. He knew this man, this man was...

“Have been satisfied having fun?”

“Dad, what-“

“Adam told me you were drunk with Matthew, is that true?”

“What? You?!”

Corrine turned the shoulder of a man who was on his back and violently slapped it right on the man's right cheek. Adam just smirked, he deserved it.

“Should you be like this Adam?! Don't ever interfere in my business, you're an asshole brother!!"

“This is for your own good, Corrine, you should understand that Matt-"

“I'll kill you!”

“Quite Corrine!”

Corrine was still staring at Adam, now she was so afraid of her father. No, his father could not beat him or throw him out of the family, especially after Adam came out of the house and was removed from the family, only he owned the father to inherit the company. What he feared most about his father was that he was returned to France. He just met Matt.

“I beg Dad, don't give me back to France, I beg you. I'll do anything, I beg.” Corrine started sobbing.

Mr. Edmond and Adam gasped, Corrine who was famous for being a proud and high-hearted girl now gathered to the floor and pleaded with her father. Even anyone knows how Corrine hates his father.

“Do you love Matthew so much, Corrine?” Mr. Edmond looked at Corrine, looking at the look of pity from one of the richest men in France. For the first time in his life he saw Corrine so pitiful like this.

“Very, very. I love Matt so much, don't separate me from him again Dad, please."

“Then go after him!"

Neither Corrine nor Adam gasped, and they looked at his father in disbelief. Corrine smiled, but Adam still flinched. No, he must have misheard, it's impossible if...

“Pass Matthew Boltom that, but remember Corrine! The Edmonds always get what they want, if you fail to get the Boltom guy, I'll make sure you never see him again.” Corrine quickly stood up and stared happily at the father.

“Good Dad, I promise. I'll get it, I promise.”

“For a father, do you think this is fair?”

Adam looked at the father, there was a huge look of disappointment. For years his father never approved of his love story, until the woman he loved married another man. But now, he approves of Corrine who he knows has a wife.

“You never approved of my relationship with the woman I love, but now you're blessing Corrine with someone who has a wife?!”

Adam looked at the father in disappointment, Corrine grinned. Indeed, he was also so surprised that his father approved of his relationship with Matt, but he did not care what reason made his father agree. If the reason is because of the development of the current project, he did not care, from a long time ago he was also a toy of the father. Why is it not a happy toy now?

.... Do you think, I wasn't disappointed when you left the house and preferred that woman over the Edmonds?” Adam clenched his arm. Sad, upset, disappointed, now mixed into one.

“Toh, Matthew will also be influential with our finances. It's more usable than the girl you love. Did you know that girl just wants your finances? More how his family. Look at! After he got richer, he left you, didn't he?”

Adam was silent, clearly trying to contain his frustration and disappointment. Corrine gasped at the sight of her brother's tears, though Adam wiped them away, but Corrine still clearly saw them.

“Alright, if you know like this. I never regret leaving the Edmonds. And one more thing, never say anything to the woman I love!”

“Please let the girl leave you?”

Adam took a deep breath and left the room. Corrine was just staring at the departure of her only brother. He knew very well, if the one in front of him was not his father, it was certain that Adam would punch him.

The Boltom family home

07.30

Matt blinked his eyes, he could feel a very dizzy feeling in his head. The first time he smelled when he opened his eyes was the pungent smell of alcohol. Matt looked around, now he was in his bedroom with Jessica and he didn't remember anything last night.

He looked at the clock, really he forgot all about last night and how he got here. After he was drunk on the bar and one of the bartenders rebuked him and he remembered nothing more.

“You're up? I'm cooking soup, eat it!"

Jessica came in with a bowl of soup and a glass of warm water, Matt gasped as he saw himself not wearing a single thread except the blanket he was wearing. He hoped last night he didn't do anything weird, even though he saw Jessica along with Mike, but he didn't think it was worth it if he did a weird – with other women.

“Go take a shower, I will prepare your office supplies.” Matt looked at Jessica who had already left the room, Matt sighed. She wished she had done nothing last night that hurt Jessica.

...----------------...

“Matt, before you leave. Can I ask you something?”

Matt stopped eating his sandwich, staring at Jessica. The girl looked down, and there was sadness in her eyes. He tried to look busy by applying jam dirotinya. Matt really knows something the beautiful woman is hiding.

Lyn left school at 6am, and she did not apologize to her daughter yesterday. Where when he suddenly came and told him to go home who was busy eating pizza.

“Mary Edmond, who's the girl?”

Matt is silent, Jessica eats her bread, but tries to avoid eye contact. How did Jessica know Mary? Or maybe last night when he was drunk, he and Mary did...

“He's my coworker.”

“What is she your lover?”

Jessica looked at Matt with tears in her eyes. Jessica smiled sadly, this is what it feels like, this is what it feels like to know your partner is having an affair with someone else, and this is so painful.

“You're talking what, he's just-“

“I want you to talk honestly Matt.”

“If he is my lover what is the problem? Isn't that good for you? After all, you can also be with Mike.”

Jessica looks shocked at Matt's words. Jessica felt her chest shake, she wished her ears were unwell today, and what she heard was all wrong. He hopes Matt only pranks on him and only takes revenge because yesterday he met Mike, he was so hopeful.

“Matt, I swear I'm with Mike no-“

“Really Jessie, I'm so tired of being loved by you.”

“Matt, Matt.”

Matt puts down his sandwich and walks to the guest table and picks up his car keys and briefcase.

“Matt, listen to me first! I beg you, Matt!”
