Sweet Scandals

Ch. 22

The next morning, Axelle tried to get up early. Even though all night he could barely close his eyes. Not because of his chat with Clarissa via cell phone. But his recklessness that almost kissed Irene, made his heart uneasy uncertain.

I don't know what the motivation was, until he lost his mind at that time. The innocent girl seemed to be able to shake her stance. Other than Clarissa, not a single woman has been able to touch her heart until this very moment. Suddenly Irene was present. The one who does not know how, is able to fill the emptiness of his heart. Has his heart really turned away?

Axelle came down the stairs slowly. Irene had finished her work. At the dinner table have presented various dishes as their breakfast menu this morning. The girl somehow finished her breakfast. Then move to his room. Passing through Axelle who kept looking at him.

Brakes

The sound of Irene's room door bangs Axelle into a jolt. Then carrying her hand gently rubbed her chest. I don't know what morning Irene was possessed by a demon, until she slammed the door like that.

Not wanting to think about it, Axelle also moved to the dining table. Then pull out a chair and sit there.

Not long after, Boni came. As usual, the half-finished creature was just hanging out at the dinner table. And instantly filled his empty plate without caring for Axelle who was staring at him sharply. This one creature is a voracious soul that cannot be controlled when dealing with food.

"It's nice to have Irene. Every day you can eat well. In that case, we will no longer need to eat outside the Boss. Why eat outside if the restaurant has moved here." Babe Boni chewing food.

"Basic greedy man." Axelle is upset. Then start filling the plate.

It is undeniable. Irene's presence was like a complement to her life. Axelle who previously felt flat and monotonous life, suddenly felt different. And a little fun maybe. Even his little heart subconsciously hoped, this charade would not end.

Finished with breakfast, now Axelle and Boni are ready to go to the set. But his steps stopped for a moment. Because Irene saw it in a neat look.

Irene walked over with a downcast face staring at the screen of her phone. He didn't notice the road until he almost hit Axelle. He gasped when Axelle suddenly grabbed his phone.

"You! Give me back my phone." Pinta Irene extended her hand.

Axelle did not respond. His thumb was busy typing some numbers on Irene's phone. A second later, his own phone rang. He then took his phone after returning Irene's phone.

So this is how I got Irene's phone number. After last night failed to take it secretly. And it ended up with a little crazy sense.

"Call me if you need anything. Or if the ghost comes to disturb." Said Axelle without further ado.

"The ghost is you." Irene with a pouty face.

"Where are you going to be so neat?"

"There's important business."

"Where?"

"It's none of your business. Have you forgotten the rules? The host is forbidden to interfere in the affairs of his guests." Irene repeated her rule point.

Axelle can what else? Each must obey the rules they make themselves.

"I'm asking for permission to go out for a minute. Can you?" Pinta Irene while unraveling her smile.

Axelle nodded her head. He knew he had no right to rule the girl's life. Because he is nobody. In addition to partners in the play.

"Good morning everyone." Suddenly from the front a baritone voice sounded and instantly distracted.

Zaky came over and smiled at his smile. Irene smiled back at Zaky. Except Axelle. His face was flat welcoming the arrival of the man.

"Are you leaving Axelle?" Zaky asked as his steps came to a halt right in front of Axelle and Irene.

"Tumben early in the morning? Usually go directly to the location." Axelle's chirps will be Zaky's unusual visit.

Zaky returned a smile, "I just want to know how the filming progressed. I'm sorry, I haven't been able to accompany you on set. I've been a little busy lately."

"Oh yeah, you want to go too Irene?" Zaky then turned to look at Irene.

"Yes, Sir. I have a little business outside."

"You together? Coincidentally, I was already leaving. I came here just to make sure Axelle's condition."

"No need sir. I can order a taxi."

"It's okay."

"Hm ... Sure can. But thanks in advance for troubling you."

"Yes, come on."

Irene according. Still with a smile that adorned his face, he waltzed following Zaky's steps. Walk together towards the parked car in front of the house. Just passing Axelle. Even without looking at it one bit.

While Axelle, inexplicably the look on his face suddenly changed drastically. It's not like Irene went with Zaky.

"Just play with someone's wife." Axelle's mumbling was so upset. I don't know why. He seemed to have forgotten their status was just a charade.

"Boss Axe. Come on, it's late." Boni said from behind the car window by popping his head out.

Axelle rushes to his car after locking the door and putting the house keys in a regular storage area.

Zaky escorted Irene to her destination, Olive Galery.

Irene rushed down after saying her thanks to Zaky.

"More." Call Zaky before Irene can get her foot out.

"What's up, sir?" Irene asked.

"Don't call me sir. I don't think I'm that old."

"Then what should I call?"

"Call me Zaky. Don't be so formal, I'm not comfortable hearing that. Aren't we friends now?"

"But ..."

"Not to be awkward saying my name."

Irene gave her sweet smile. Then nodded slowly. "alright. But sorry if it feels disrespectful."

Zaky chuckled at Irene's innocence.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow night you have no time?"

"Mr ..." Irene had plenty of free time. But will Axelle let him out of the house? Everyone knows that he is Axelle's wife. It will feel strange, even awkward when suddenly he went out at night with another man. Zaky is Axelle's manager. He just does not want to later even cause rumors that are not true.

"Just calm. If there will be rumors that are not true, I can handle it. Don'tbeafraid. I just wanted to take you out to dinner. That's it, nothing more. And the place is safe. Not just any media allowed in."

"Yes, okay. I'll take my time."

"Thank you very much. Then I'll go home first. You please come in. I'll see you tomorrow."

Irene smiled sweetly. Then it began to pitch, bringing its footsteps into Olive Galery after Zaky left the place.

.

"I accepted Miss Olive's offer." Irene said steadily as she sat facing Olivia in the room.

Olivia broke her smile. Then extended her hand which Irene greeted enthusiastically.

"Welcome join. I say thank you very much. May you be at home."

"Thank you very much, Miss Olive." Then take off his hand. And sit back.

Olivia offers a map containing a contract letter that Irene has to sign. After Irene put her signature on it, it was not long before Shelly came to take Irene to the photo shoot room.

In the shooting room, Irene swept her eyes. In one corner of the room he saw a large photo. In the photo, there is a beautiful, elegant and sexy woman. Irene kept looking at him. The woman in the photo is really pretty and fashionable.

"That's Clarissa. Our previous model." Said Shelly because she knew what Irene was paying attention to right now.

"Clarissa?" Irene frowning. I think he's heard that name.

"Clarissa margaretha. But now he's abroad. He was busy chasing his dreams. He's a little haughty. And don't like it if there's someone more than him. She's been our model for a few years." Add Shelly at length.

Irene nodded slowly. Then look back at that photo. Now he just remembered, the beautiful woman was his lover Axelle.

For some reason, suddenly felt something touching the corner of his heart. As if there was disappointment. There was a sense that he did not understand that slowly began to penetrate and give a little pain. What that feeling is, he doesn't know.
