There's a message from Nany, the boutique clerk.
{ Ci, Michael is already here, now again in the parking lot"} reported Nany.
{ Ok } reply Melinda short.
Melinda did tell Nany, if Michael had already come, then she walked towards the sink, there was a big mirror there, He took a deep breath then threw it away slowly while closing his eyes, after getting calm, he took a deep breath, he opened his eyes, forced a smile, and suggested to himself." Come on Mel, you can, you can do it,"
" Tap, Tap, Tap," The sound of footsteps rang out.
" Tok, Tok, Tok," the sound of the door being knocked three times.
Melinda still remains in her position, she does not want to welcome Michael as usual, she will linger long in the bathroom, until Michael himself decides to enter.
" Kreeks! The sound of the door creaking, Michael walked into Melinda's room.
" Babie, uh,.. Barbie... Again in the bathroom, huh?" michael asked to confirm, after a wander, and did not find Melinda's whereabouts.
" Yes,." said Melinda.
Michael immediately sat down on the sofa, and opening his work tool, He took out his DSLR camera, and then started aiming his camera around, he was setting the focus and lighting, and then he was shooting, sometimes he checks the pictures.
" Kreeks!
The bathroom door opened, Melinda walked slowly, Michael stood up and shot the camera at Melinda, several times he shot the camera, until Melinda cut the distance between the two.
After there was no distance, between them, Michael lowered his camera, he peeked at Melinda's cheek.
Melinda was actually uncomfortable, but she had to pretend to be stupid, not knowing anything.
After that, they both sat down.
" I'm sorry Barbie, I rarely have time for you at the end of the day, I'm so busy with shooting schedules and Deadline, so pay less attention to you!" michael said, He held Melinda's hand warmly.
Melinda could only sneer, in her heart, "Busy with the photo shoot schedule to treat Erik, busy with Camilla as well, You poison snail!
Melinda returned Michael's hand, in a soft and reassuring tone she said, "I understand, dear, the important thing is that you always have the news, don't tell me!"
" Hahahaha," Michael could not help but laugh, having mastered his state of affairs, he said affectionately, "Over this time, as busy as I can I will always tell you, remind you to eat, and one of the most important things,.." Michael held onto Melinda's chin, and looked at her deeply, before she said, "I've always missed you!"
Melinda blushed in embarrassment, however she still had feelings with this poison snail in front of her, "If this had happened in the past, and did not know your guise, she said, make sure I'm going to be more and more pure with you" Melinda thought.
Looking at the blushing Melinda, Michael became anxious, and unconsciously pinched the woman's cheeks in a fit of anxiety, somehow, there was a warm feeling flowing within the man, she said,. " What's wrong with me? Do I have feelings for this woman? this can't happen!" inner Michael.
As Michael and Melinda chatted, Nany walked in and said that the clothes and models were ready, just stay in the portrait, after which she resigned.
" Yes, yuk, don't let them wait!" take Melinda to Michael.
Michael nodded and agreed with Melinda's words, the man then packed up and brought his photo equipment, to the studio in this boutique.
" Lady's palace boutique, does have its own photo studio, because Melinda's olshop is also growing, so they have updated the latest photos, from their merchandise.
Michael also started a shooting session, there are several types of clothes, which he photographed this time, there is a couple, nightgown, child's clothes, dress, dress and also hijab.
The shoot took place around the clock, when in the last session, Melinda was called Nany.
Looking at the code from Nany, Melinda then, exited the studio room and asked, "What's up?"
Nany does not know what to answer, she also looks confused to explain from where, "Anu Ci, there are guests who insist on meeting Cici, a middle-aged person with three friends, who have a crush on her, his friend nakutin, his body is burly, lem deh,!" nany..
Melinda and Michael, looking back, "Who do you think? thought they.
Melinda turned her eyes to Nany, "Take them into my room, I'll be there in a minute, don't forget, treat me a snack and a drink" Melinda ordered.
" Good Ci! nany replied, and immediately turned to meet the four male guests.
" Who are they, I feel so bad beb!" lamented Melinda, her face showed a worried look.
" OK!" melinda answered at last.
The two immediately did their final photo shoot.
Afterwards, Melinda and Michael rush to the study, where Nany's guest is waiting for them.
" Tap, Tap, Tap," The sound of footsteps rang out.
The four men in the room stood up, watching Melinda and Michael enter the room.
Melinda invited them to sit down.
The four of them sat down immediately.
Before Melinda asked further, the middle-aged man had already started to speak, "I'm sorry, I actually want to meet with Miss Liliana, is she there?"
Melinda and Michael were shocked, they looked at each other.
then Melinda spoke up,. " I'm sorry, who were you before? and what's the need for my late mother?"
Hearing Melinda's statement, the middle-aged man frowned in surprise, then he asked in shock, "What? Miss Liliana is dead?"
Malinda nodded, "Right, my mom has been gone since four years ago, sorry what need?"
The middle-aged man smiled and controlled himself, "I Bayu, I'm actually here to see mistress Liliana, the mistress has a debt with my boss, Mr. Roso, as much as three billion, five years ago, with a payment period of five years, already four years Mrs Liliana did not pay installments and interest, so now the total debt of the mistress there are five billion rupiah, if you do not believe, this, this, I have the proof, everything is complete here;" Bayu handed me some documents on the table.
Melinda grabbed the document, she checked it one by one, she just let out a slow sigh, she looked at Michael, and said, "It's all real,"
Michael was surprised by this fact, he glanced at Melinda, her face was so sad, there was a thin fog in the woman's eye.
Michael tried to strengthen Melinda, he rubbed his shoulders slowly.
Bayu also only paid attention to them, before saying, "I'm sorry before, if this is surprising, we have been trying to find the whereabouts of Ms. Liliana, from the data that is on us,,, if this is surprising, all this time we have been trying to find the whereabouts of Ms. Liliana,, but we did not find any trace of her, until we finally found out that this boutique was hers, therefore, we came here, we did not expect, if Lady Liliana had gone home, we mourned, we did, however, the agreement remains an agreement, the deadline for repayment of the principal debt and its interest, amounting to five billion rupiah is next Sunday, we hope cooperation,"
Melinda limp.
" Alright, we excuse you Miss, next week we're here again" said Bayu, he sipped tea for a while, then stood up, left, the three burly men behind him followed.
After the four men left, Michael said, "They're Debt Collectors,"
Melinda showed a helpless look, with a face so clear, she asked Michael, "What should I do? Where do I get five billion? The two hundred million debt has not yet been fully paid off,.. Hyks, hicks, torches" Melinda sobbed, and covered her face with both hands.
Michael brought Melinda's body into his embrace, for some reason her heart was slightly pinched, seeing the woman's fragility and tears, usually she never involved feelings, But what is this?
In Michael's embrace and in his sobs, Melinda flashed her sweet smile, just a split second, it seemed like my acting was good, the poison snail was even fooled, He, He, He, He," the chuckle in the heart.
Melinda let go of Michael's embrace, with sobbing and teary eyes she said, "What should I do Mike,? I don't know where I got five billion? Melinda tried hard, she wiped her tears
Michael cupped his hands in Melinda's face, he looked the woman's bead in the eye and then said "You are calm yes, everything must be a way, I am here for you,. patience huh?"
To further convince his acting Melinda also touched the hand of Michael on his face, with sparkling eyes, there seemed to be sincerity and helplessness he said," Thanks Mike!"
Michael nodded with a smile and said, "Sstt, don't say thank you,"
Melinda nodded, and immersed herself in Michael's arms.
Michael retorted while giving the woman peace of mind,
Melinda sneered in her heart, "If you were sincere, I would definitely be so happy,!"
