"You guys here?" ask them both.

"How are you, son?" claudia hugged her daughter.

"Good, Mom!" Clarissa forced a smile. "You're here too" he said, staring at his half-brother.

"I had to follow them" he said.

"Let's go in!" take Clarissa to her family.

"You live here?" She looked around the apartment of Clarissa.

"Yes" replied Clarissa.

"It's very narrow, it's useless for artists but can't afford a luxury house" said Raya quipped.

"You live alone here, Rissa?" ask Ardian.

"No, Uncle. I'm with my two friends" he replied.

"Where are they?" ask Claudia.

"They're out again, they'll be back tonight" he replied.

Ardian invites his whole family to enjoy lunch at a restaurant, it just so happens that they come Clarissa no longer has a job.

"Rissa, is it true that your relationship with the man you've been reporting about?" ask Claudia.

Clarissa put down her spoon, she took some water and drank it. "You want Mom, how?"

"Why did you ask back?" Claudia smiled looking at her real daughter.

"I have nothing to do with him" Clarissa replied.

"Good, anyways, if his mother knew who you were, maybe she wouldn't approve of you" Raya said.

"Raya, watch what you say!" ardian Tegur.

"The truth, right?" Raya seems foolish by her words, she does not care about the feelings of Clarissa and her mother.

The fifth month of cooperation between Clarissa and Arta Fashion. Filming the next advertisement will be done in a fairly large park. It just so happens that today is very bright.

Devan was also present to see the filming path. He looked at Clarissa who looked so beautiful. Stick with a mask and gloves.

While filming the children's model, Clarissa sat down to rest she enjoyed the food provided by the work team. He saw Devan standing up without sitting at all. He searched for Hilman's presence around the President remotely. He did not see her approaching the man.

"Master, you want cake!" Clarissa was handing out a plate filled with cake.

"No!" rebut

"You're not tired of just standing," Clarissa said, looking behind Devan on a chair.

"No!"

"Did your secretary not come?" tanyanya back.

"No!"

Clarissa took a tissue and wiped the chair. "Sir, sit. I cleaned the chair" he said.

Devan remained standing and silent, Clarissa pushed the man's body to her feet and smiled. "I washed my hands, so you don't have to worry!"

Devan just stared at Clarissa without saying anything.

"You want a drink?" bargained for.

"Let only Hilman serve me" Devan replied.

"Sir, from now on just stand up and get dehydrated if you don't drink. Would you like 'yes I'll get it?" bargain Clarissa with a smile.

"Can you hold on a second?" ask her gently.

"All right, Miss!" answer the assistant director.

Clarissa turned her eyes back to Devan. "Wait here, I'll grab a drink!" he also took mineral water in a bottle and did not forget he wiped it in front of the man and thrust it. "This is the drink, sir!"

Devan took it and then downed it. Clarissa is continuing filming.

Shortly after, Hilman came in a hurry.

"Master, forgive me!" he was guilty.

Devan looked at his secretary. "See you, I cut!"

"Master, please don't cut. How can I propose if it's cut like this?" Hilman showed a face.

"It's none of my business!"

"But I see you're fine" Hilman looked at the chair and the bottle of drink Devan was holding.

"Clarissa served me" Devan said, making Hilman smile.

"Why smile?"

"Miss Clarissa seems to suit you!" answer Hilman origin.

"You want to get fired?" Devan gave a sharp look.

"No, Master!" Hilman lowered his head.

Plaque...

A middle-aged woman landed her palm on Clarissa's cheek violently as she was about to get into the car.

"Mrs, what did you do to my artist?" yuna jolted at the woman.

Clarissa held onto her sore cheek and was a little shocked. Lucky Tina held her body.

"Tell this artist!" point it at Clarissa. "To not bother my son!" continued again.

"Which son are you?" ask Clarissa who's still holding back the pain.

"Rey!" answer Siska.

"Madam, your son is always after our friend!" suhut Tina who started the emotion.

"You and your mom are the same!" he said loudly while pointing at Clarissa's face.

"Tante Siska, what's going on?" devan asked he turned to Clarissa who was holding his cheek.

"He slapped Clarissa, sir!" sahut Yuna glanced at Siska.

"Is that right, Auntie?" ask Devan.

"Yes, because he's trying to annoy Rey!" answer Siska.

"Tante, Clarissa is an ad star at Arta Fashion. So I hope not to bother him!" devan.

"You defended him!" Siska won't accept if Devan chooses the artist.

"Let's talk, let him go home!" devan. He invited Siska to a special place room to rest the tourists in the park.

Clarissa and her friend come home, while Devan and Siska talk together.

"Tante, if it has a past. Don't involve him in that matter. He doesn't know anything" Devan said.

"You know what the past is, Auntie?"

"Slightly much Devan knows," he replied.

"Originally you know, his mother has taken Grandpa Rey" Siska said.

"Is he really the culprit?

"Aunty's mother said it" Siska replied.

"But this has nothing to do with Clarissa" Devan said.

"You defended. Is it because she teased you?" ask Siska.

"He's a star at Arta Fashion, Devan just wants every model clean of negative imagery" she replied.

"Tante just wishes the woman didn't bother Rey anymore" Siska said.

"Give it all to me, I'll stay away from them. Aunty take it easy, as long as you don't find any more problems with Clarissa," Devan assured Siska.

"Tante kept your promise" said Siska after that he left.
