"Which girl would you bring home, you don't even have a girlfriend." Said Rafli trying to remind his boss if he's a real singles.
"Out there are a lot of women, you rent one for me." Said Arthur while massaging the base of his nose.
"Good."
Rafli then left Arthur who was still sitting in his seat of greatness. If just hiring a girl is actually a very easy thing as a finger snap, but lying to a Raymon Bagaskara is the problem.
Rafli turned his head and looked at Mala who was cleaning the glass, Rafli squinted his eyes and looked at Mala from toe to head. "Why isn't she, she's pretty, too, plus she already knows about Mr. Arthur's problems." Rafli muttered as he flashed a smile on his flat face.
"Mala." Call Rafli.
Mala turned to the source of the voice, he put a cloth and a glass cleaning device in place and ran over to Rafli. "What did Assistant Rafli call me?"
"I have a job for you." Rafli moves his index finger, code for Mala to approach.
"What?" Mala is approaching Rafli.
"Being Mr. Arthur's pretend lover." Bisik Rafli .
"What." Mala shouted so that some of the staff who were there looked at the two of them, realizing that Mala immediately silenced her mouth. "I don't want to." Reject Mala directly.
"This is an order, not an offer, you have no right to refuse. After all, you're under agreement with Mr. Arthur."
"covenant? It's not that it's a deal for me to keep Mr. Arthur secret, so what does this have to do with it?" Mala asked not understanding.
"Didn't you read the covenant until it ran out?"
Mala just shook her head, at that time she was in a hurry to sign the letter because Arthur scared her.
"It is clearly stated that the second party agrees to do anything at the command of the first party to keep the first party secret."
Mala hit her own head, condemning her carelessness. "Then what does this have to do with being Mr Arthur's pretend lover?"
"Mr Arthur has to go home to the main house and she has to bring a girl to be her lover so that she can escape the arranged marriage arranged by Mr. Arthur's parents. The problem is, what if Mr. Arthur's other personalities come out while they're having dinner? So you must accompany Mr. Arthur and pretend to be his lover."
"But..."
"Nothing but-but, I'll pay you 3 times your salary."
"really?" Mala's eyes sparkle as soon as they hear the 3-fold salary.
"Yes." Yeah."
Mala was silent for a moment, the girl was weighing the offer of Assistant Rafli, Mala did need the money to add to her savings so that next year she could continue her studies, she said, but does Mr. Arthur not mind if I become his lie lover."Fizz Mala in the heart.
"5 times over." Imbuh Rafli and without thinking long Mala immediately agreed to the orders of Assistant Rafli, they shook hands as a sign they agreed to cooperate.
"Go back to work and wait in front of Art Life." Tell Rafli, then the handsome assistant left Mala and went back into his master's room.

"Have you found the girl who will accompany me home?" Arthur asked casually, his eyes still busy sweeping through page after page of documents piling up on his desk.
"It."
"Then what else are you here for, what do you do less." Arthur flicked his work, his hands bent over the table, his sharp eyes now staring at his Assistant standing in front of him.
"Are you sure you'll be home tonight?" Rafli asked after a long silence.
"You're worried about me?"
"I'm just afraid one of them will show up."
"But it's a family event, I can't go."
"Are you not my family?"
"But sir.." Rafli did not continue his sentence, because Arthur had cut it first.
"How many times have I forbidden you to call me master, do you not want to be my friend."
"But I'm used to it."
"It's up to you."
Arthur gives up persuading Rafli not to call him master, Arthur has banned him several times but Rafli still calls him master. Arthur let out a long sigh then he refocused on his pile of documents, he was also mentally preparing to meet his family later.

At 5 p.m., Art Life employees began to leave the office one by one, while Mala was still waiting for Arthur and Rafli inside the building.
"Well, why are you here, let's go home?" Said Lala while patting Mala on the back and made Mala surprised.
"Ah, I, um I'm waiting for Mr. Arthur, I want to clean the room." Mala replies, she can't possibly tell her about her job of being Mr. Arthur's pretend girlfriend to her best friend because Lala will certainly lecture her at length.
"Ok, I'll wait, so we can go home together."
"Don't." Shouted Mala. "I mean you must be tired, just go home first, I don't know when Mr. Arthur is out of his room either."
"I'm sure I'll go home first."
"Yes, be careful."
Lala just nodded, she waved her hand then left Mala.
Not long after Arthur came out of his room and followed Rafli behind him. While passing through Mala, Rafli blinked one eye, signaling Mala to follow them, Mala just nodded and followed behind Rafli.
Noticing the presence of others behind him Arthur stopped and twisted his body, he let out a long sigh when he saw Mala behind Rafli, Arthur looked at Mala for a moment then told the girl to come closer. "You following me?"
"No."
"Then why are you here?" Arthur
"I'm following Assistant Rafli."
Arthur looked at Rafli for an explanation, there was no way this girl would have followed them if it wasn't Rafli who told him to.
"You said I should find a girl, I found one for you." Replied Rafli while pointing at Mala with both hands.
"Him? You're going crazy? Is there no other woman you can hire?" Arthur snapped until his voice echoed throughout the room. "You see what he looks like, you know, he'll only embarrass me in front of my family." Imbuh Arthur while looking at Mala with a look of contempt.
"But he's the only right choice, he already knows your condition, so I'm not too worried about you going to the main house. About how we look can change it."
"It seems Mr. Arthur disagrees, please find someone else, I'm not interested in helping you either." Mala interrupts the conversation between the boss and his assistant, then he looks down respectfully and leaves Arthur and Rafli behind.
Arthur rubbed his face violently, his hands now ruffled his waist and he began to be irritated because everything Rafli said was true, at least if Arthur changed there was Mala who could help him.
"Wait." Call Arthur so that the girl stops her steps.
"Follow us." Arthur said then he got out of his office and got into the car.
SERIATE..
