My Rich Old Man

Episode 8 - Awkward

Jia followed Japhar from behind. Until they arrive at Japhar's room. Jia sat on the sofa there, After a long silence Jia finally tried to open the conversation. ''Why did Master call me here?'' Ask Jia.

Japhar came closer to him, and now they were sitting side by side on the sofa. ''Ehm.. You're so pretty using the hair ties I gave you.'' Japhar. Jia's reddened face looked a thin smile gleamed from her lips, unexpectedly Old man seemed to be able to make her smile.

''Thank you, Sir.''

''But here I am going to talk about marriage. Since you've recovered, and signed this partnership, the wedding will be live soon.'' Japhar.

''alright.'' Jia replied with a flat face.

Then Japhar got up from his seat, and stood his back to Jia.

''It's just a business wedding. You're profiting from me, and I'm getting a wife. It's not a contract marriage, so there are no rules. You can as you please, an old man like me is fine other than Treasure.'' Japhar.

He was silent, Finally he decided to go alone after talking about it. Arriving at home he went straight into his room and tried to calm himself down. Until someone knocked on the door, Yang was none other than her brother who invited Jia down to dinner.

''Jia... Come on downstairs, we'll have dinner.''

Alright....

Jia came down the stairs, her face looked flat and lethargic and everyone looked at Jia in wonder.

''Jia, what are you doing?'' Ask Stepmother gently.

But Jia did not answer anything.

'Sure, he must be acting. To be pitiful, right?' Inner Jiao was annoyed as she looked at Jia sharply.

''Stop your gaze it's Jiao.'' Said Hongli who accidentally saw him.

''Are you sick, Jia? Let me check your body temperature. Ever since you got home you seemed lethargic and reserved, What exactly happened?'' Ask Hongli.

Jia just shook her head. Then he said, Brother.. The day after Japhar will come to discuss the date of her wedding day.'' A smile so sweet was coming from her lips.

Hearing Jia's words, his mother immediately excited, Wow, that's good! We must prepare the house to welcome his arrival.''

''I can help mom!'' Jiao.

Jia only smiled looking at her mother who was so happy, yet her heart said another. She is not ready to perform this marriage. While Hongli only looked at Jia pity. He knew what his sister was feeling right now.

It was late at night, yet Jia was still awake in her room. He sat on the floor of the room facing the star-filled window that night.

"I didn't think I'd get married at this young age to an Old Man. But he was different from the other old men. Even though this is just a business marriage, I will still serve my duties as a wife. I don't want to be the same fate as my real mother..'' Said Jia at the time. Unaware her tears had washed her cheeks

Clack..

Someone opened the door of his room and just walked in. Then approaching her, she immediately wiped away her tears. His sister looked at him and hugged him tightly. ''Forgive me...'' Hongli. ''Cry, If you want... Wrap everything.''

Jia cried silently in Hongli's arms, The pajamas Hongli wore wet were filled with tears. ''Good, you don't have to hold it. I'm here, I'm your family. And sooner or later you're gonna be somebody's wife and have a family. I'm sure you're strong, you need to be ready.'' Hongli said to calm Jia.

''You don't have to apologize, brother, it's my duty. Father has given that responsibility to me.'' Jia said while wiping her tears that felt was enough.

''Alright. After Lusa Japhar comes, Brother will soon return to City A, because the duty of brother there has been piled up.'' Hongli.

The next day - -

In the office, Jia was very unable to concentrate. ''Miss, there's a new project this time. It needs your signature and approval.'' Said Ze's secretary who was next to him.

''All right, what is this?'' Ask Jia.

After Ze explained everything, How shocked Jia was. This project is quite profitable. ''Alright, Send the best Designer for this.'' Jia's Order.

Ze agreed and immediately did what Jia told him to do.

"Really, that's right what he said. This brings enough profit. If this continues, the company's shares will rise rapidly within a few weeks.'' Mumam Jia girang.

'Ah, shit.. This time the project was also quite difficult. I even missed lunch for this.' Jia.

Hongli was now standing in front of Jia's desk in his room, He looked seriously struggling with his work Without realizing his brother's presence.
