The Dream of the President

Ring

Leo, angry, came out of his room. He had Haris' assistant prepare the car right now.

Leo darted away to his father's house. He still held back his annoyance and wondered what his father had done yesterday. Is this the cause of Shasa's strange attitude yesterday?

Arriving at Commissioner Gusta's house, a butler greeted him.

"Show me where my papa is now." Without further ado Leo said it. Surely the butler knew who was coming. The butler escorted Leo to Commissioner Gusta's room.

"Please young master, great sir is inside." The butler invited Leo in. Leo came in without an opening greeting or anything like that.

Commissioner Gusta was shocked to see Leo was already in his room. But his face turned happy because this was the first time Leo had set foot in his house.

"Leos... You're coming. Why don't you tell me you want to come." Commissioner Gusta welcomed. But what he welcomed was just silence and fixedly staring at Commissioner Gusta.

"I'll have the waiter prepare food for us." Commissioner Gusta said with pleasure.

"Pa, what's papa doing?" Leo was still staring at his father coldly. "What did you want to see him yesterday?"

Commissioner Gusta's face turned serious. "Who did you meet?" Commissioner Gusta asked back.

"Maybe I was late to introduce him. She's my wife." Answer Leo flatly.

"Huh? Haha... Your wife? How did you get married? You didn't even tell your parents you were married. Am I no longer your parents?"

"I wanted to tell my dad after my mom came. I'll introduce you to my wife."

"Is it true to decide for yourself like that? Is it right to treat your parents like that?"

"I think I have the right to decide who I marry. If I told you before marriage, you'd make things difficult."

"Is that so? You chose to marry him? Why are your answers different?"

Leo scrunched his forehead. "What does papa mean?"

"She said she asked you to marry her. Are you really married or just a show?" Ask Commissioner Gusta astonished.

"I've never played with my life. So is my marriage."

"Why keep it a secret?"

Leo remained silent. He kept it a secret because Shasa asked. Shasa is certainly not ready to face her status as Leo's wife. Especially at that time the marriage was carried out so impromptu.

"Pa, you can interfere in my career affairs. But never interfere in my personal life. No more sending people to spy on me or my wife." Leo turned the body.

"Do you think papa won't let you marry him?"

Leo shut up and stopped his steps.

"Papa will not interfere in your personal life. Because that was papa's promise to you. Papa just wants to know who the wife next to you is. Does he deserve to be with you. Papa just wanted to make sure, your name, your big name never got any flaws." Commissioner Gusta walked over to Leo.

"I never intended to arrange for you to marry whom. I just want to make sure that he's really ready to go with you." Commissioner Gusta was silent for a moment.

"I forgive you for not telling me about your marriage. But show me that woman is the right person to be your wife. You know, when someone gets married, he doesn't just marry one person. But he also married his partner's social circle. Maybe you already know his social circle. But, does he know your social circle?"

Leo was silent and could not answer. Let her father say it right. If Shasa is his legal wife, then Shasa must know Leo's world and how it travels around him. Leo could not forever hide Shasa as his wife, and indeed from the beginning he had no intention of concealing her.

However, another fact made Leo aware that now Shasa is also a wife of a large conglomerate. His position, his movements, was very influential on Leo and his big name family and company.

"You're my only heir. I will help you in everything. Don't you ever hide anything from me." Commissioner Gusta looked at Leo fixedly.

"Bring your wife when your mama gets back. Your marriage must be announced soon."

Leo's suspicion of his father, who might have done something strange to Shasa, is now fading. But a new problem arises that feels much more confusing.

Shasa was still staring at the computer screen but somehow his mind drifted to where. Suddenly the room became so noisy that someone was coming. Manager Lim was seen already welcoming him into the room. And... Ta-da! Leo is here. It was only fitting that the people in the room were whispering to each other, as a rare person who had never set foot onto this floor, suddenly came and even conversed with Manager Lim.

Manager Lim blinked his eyes. "Of course you can, sir. What do you need?"

Leo surrounded the room with his eyes. He doesn't know exactly where Shasa's desk is.

"He!" Leo pointed towards Shasa who was now also glancing towards them.

"Shasa... Here!" Manager Lim called him.

With heavy steps, Shasa approached Manager Lim and Leo who were standing in front of the door of the room. Shasa saluted Leo rather lazily, then he looked at Leo with a face like cursing.

"I need to talk to him about something." Leo asked Lim for permission. Actually Leo doesn't have to do that and just pulls Shasa out of the room. Sure, no one will protest. But, Leo is still considering Shasa's feelings and what his friends will think later. He would definitely be bombarded by his friends if Leo did that.

"Please, Sir." Manager Lim replied very kindly.

Leo looked at Shasa like he was inviting her. Shasa simply returned the gaze coldly.

"Manager Lim, let me give you a second." Manager Lim gave a quick nod.

Shasa walked out of the room, followed by Leo beside him. Outside, asiaten Haris had been standing waiting for the two. He pays respect to Leo and Shasa who are walking closer. As if he already knew, Shasa walked towards the VIP elevator.

While behind the glass of the room, Shasa's friends peeked at the President who was walking with Shasa. They guessed where Shasa would be taken.

While in the elevator, Shasa just kept silent and stared straight ahead. Leo who was right beside him occasionally glanced towards Shasa.

"You're not asking why I came home sooner?" Leo broke the silence in the elevator. Shasa did not budge. He hasn't decided how to deal with Leo. It has to be normal or something.

Leo approached Shasa and whispered in his ear. "Because I missed you. So I'm speeding up all my work." Shasa still did not respond to anything. Leo slightly shifted his body. Shasa turned towards Leo with a flat face, while Leo had already raised his smile.

"Who did you meet yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?" Leo is getting serious.

Ting! The elevator has taken them to the lobby. Leo clasped Shasa's hand and took him out of the elevator and pulled him into the car. Shasa tried to let go of his hand, but to no avail. Fortunately, there were not many people in the lobby. They quickly left the office in a car driven by Haris' assistant.

*****

Leo and Shasa were already sitting opposite each other in a fancy restaurant. They are in a private room. A waiter poured drinks into their cup.

"You met my papa? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know what to do with you right now. I don't want to make you an unfilial child to her parents."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't realize that our hidden marriage could ruin your good name. We started this all wrong."

Leo still silently digested Shasa's words.

"And also... I feel unworthy of you. Papa's right. Your companion must be someone worthy. I was so stupid I didn't realize your standards." Shasa was silent for a moment. "But I also have my pride. That's the only thing I have. If I don't deserve you, I'll go. I won't take the money or it's to leave you. Looks like your papa misjudged me." Shasa bowed holding the sadness in his heart.

"Have you finished talking?" Leo looked at Shasa fixedly. "You said we started wrong. Then let's fix it." Shasa looked up at Leo.

"Let's announce our marriage. I'll take you to my family. Feast of. We haven't made our wedding party." Firm Leo. "Then you said you weren't worthy of me? Even I've been fighting for the blessing of marrying you. Now, fight for me. Help me prove that you're the only one worthy of being my wife."

Leo stood up from his chair. He walked and rested in front of Shasa. Shasa was shocked to see what this Leo was doing.

"I know it won't be easy. But you have to remember, I'm yours. You can fight with me. I will never let go of your hand. From the day we got married in front of your father to this day onwards, you are my wife." Shasa who had been clasped his hands since earlier, his eyes started to glaze over.

Leo took something out of his pocket. A ring box.

"On our wedding day, I didn't give you a wedding ring." Leo took out a diamond ring from the box and pinned it on Shasa's ring finger. "This ring is just a speck of gift stuck to your finger. But, I, I am the greatest gift that will always stick in your life." Leo smiled. Shasa was so moved to hear that she wanted to cry.
