S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#51
"Maaa... You're inside?" lucy shouted from outside the door of Andre's study.
lucy's call suddenly makes Andre and Leon surprised, especially Leon who never thought if the woman could enter Andre's apartment by itself and know the password of Andre's residence.
"Yes, I'm here. Come in." said Andre who was still a little surprised.
Andre felt tense, thinking what if Lucy heard all of her conversations with Leon just now. Lucy walks into Andre's study and sees another male figure there. With a puzzled look Lucy looked towards Andre and Andre understood that.
"Lucy, he's Leon. He was my best friend in college." said Andre introduced.
Lucy and Leon shake hands to get to know each other. Leon stared fixedly at Lucy's face, he could not believe that the woman he liked his best friend was just an ordinary woman without any excess.
"Alright then I'll leave you two. Tomorrow we'll have a meeting with JK's company, you don't forget that" Leon said as he walked away from Lucy and Andre.
Andre just nodded his best friend's words. Lucy and Andre were still in their silence.
"Don't you just say you want to go home and rest? What's looking for me? You can just call me should." asked Andre smiling at Lucy.
"I.... Suddenly I want to have dinner with you, are you busy?" ask Lucy to reason.
"No, I'm just discussing tomorrow's meeting with Leon. Let's go eat." take Andre to the table for his phone.
"Alright, today I want to eat chicken." Lucy said a little spoiled.
Andre smiled and nodded looking at his girlfriend who was writhing in his arms. Lucy looks cute when it's spoiled like that. They also went by Andre's car to a fast food restaurant.
On the way Lucy just silent looking out the window, her mind is still fixed on what the office employee and friend Andre said earlier. What they say is true, it is not appropriate that women seem to be coupled with the figure of Andre who is very radiant.
"What's wrong? You look less excited than usual." asked Andre who noticed Lucy earlier.
"Owh, you came to see me" said Lucy briefly.
"What...? Why would he dare to meet you? You okay?" asked Andre a little worriedly.
"No, he just visited and did nothing to me. At first I wanted to reject him, but I realized he was still my father and my family" Lucy said slowly.
"So you're saying you're gonna forgive everything he's done to me this whole time?" andre asked seriously.
"Mas, what would you do if you were in my position? Should I hate my own real father?" ask Lucy back.
Andre was silent to Lucy's words, it would not be wrong for Lucy to say so. However much blood is thicker than water, it has no right to hold back what Lucy wants and what her rights are.
"Alright if you think like that, but if there's anything you have to tell me right away" Andre said.
"Of course, ahh I'm really very hungry" Lucy said, switching the conversation.
Andre smiled at the words that came out of Lucy's mouth, he stepped on the gas car to arrive at the fast food restaurant faster. On the other hand Lucy harbored all her anxiety in her heart, she could not tell all the problems she faced to Andre. This will make Andre experience difficulties and hassles if he always depends on Andre.
After finishing eating, Andre drove Lucy home to his apartment. At the house, Lucy closes the door and goes straight to her room. Lucy laid her body on the mattress and stared at the ceiling of the room, her mind glaring everywhere. He still could not ease the burden of his mind. Lucy calls her best friend Carlo, so Carlo may help her problem at least ease the burden of her mind.
"Carlo, I need your help" Lucy said, calling her best friend.
"What's wrong? Not like you used to call me in the middle of the night like this? What's the problem?" ask Carlo bertubi.
"Can you stay at my house today? We haven't spent a long time together, it just so happens that I'm on vacation tomorrow" Lucy said.
"No, I don't need anything. I just got home eating out with Andre, my stomach's full" Lucy said.
"Alright then." said Carlo briefly.
Lucy turned off her phone and stared at the screen, with a photo of herself and Andre both. The photo was taken when they went to the beach when Andre tried to comfort him because of the noise made by Lucy's father.
Lucy's eyes glared back to the ceiling of the room, she was really very afraid to lose Andre because at this moment she really loved Andre. But on the other hand Lucy realizes the impoliteness of herself for Andre that can be said to be the perfect man.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Her apartment door was knocked, it was likely Lucy who arrived. Lucy eagerly opens the door for her best friend, with a cheerful face Lucy welcomes Carlo's arrival.
"Hi, come in." said Lucy.
"I thought you were having a very serious problem, but after seeing you there seemed to be no sign of anything happening" Carlo said as he walked in.
Lucy makes drinks for her best friend while Carlo waits for Lucy to sit at the dinner table and watch her best friend make her drink.
"What I want to tell you about my relationship" Lucy said seriously.
"What's wrong? Did he find another woman and now you're dumped?" ask Carlo curiously.
Lucy shook her head loudly signaling Carlo's wrong speech.
"Not.... That's not what happened, my relationship with Andre is actually fine. But the more I came here I felt a little depressed by Andre's charm." said Lucy gave a mug filled with drinks to Carlo.
"Press up? It's not like you knew from the beginning that your girlfriend was a super wah." said Carlo.
"Yes I thought I might be able to handle it all, but the more I get here I feel like I deserve to be the girlfriend of a big boss like her?" said Lucy moody.
"In the meantime, why do you think like that? it's not like you used to." asked Carlo curiously.
"All office employees now know my relationship with Andre, I have become a gossip in every corner of the room. They think I got into the company because of my status as Andre's girlfriend" Lucy said.
"Lucy, stop to think about people's gossip. Now you have to try to support yourself, you are human and deserve to be happy. People talk only because they don't know the truth." Carlo tries to encourage his best friend.
Lucy was silent without a word while staring into her glass.
"Lucy, you've also been through a difficult time and this is just the beginning, are you going to give up easily like this?" ask Carlo seriously.
"It's not Carlo, my father came here yesterday. He told me something that opened my eyes wide, he made me aware of my status that was just a child from a messy family." said Lucy.
"Have you told Andre? I'm sure Andre will accept you for who you are." said Carlo sure.
"It's not just Carlo, next to Andre at the moment it's not just me. But there was another woman who supported him a long time ago and she blatantly told me she liked me and wanted to compete with me for Andre" Lucy said.
"Ohh good, has that woman really lost her mind? How can he take a man who already has a girlfriend?" ask Carlo seriously.
"No, he didn't take it Carlo. He first knew Andre in appeal with me, especially he who had been helping and was next to Andre before me. Even he asked me for permission first." Lucy said trying to explain.
Carlo was silent to the words of his best friend, he was completely inexhaustible with other women told by Lucy. How could there be another woman who blatantly said she wanted to pursue a man who already has a partner to his girlfriend directly.
