The next minute there was a knock on the door. Jennifer opened the door and saw a man enter the room.
"Good morning Matteo...Angelica", said the man with the appearance of the parlente warmly
Matteo who was replying to an email through his cellphone immediately stared at the door. "Dominic? What's the matter you came for? Honey?", Matteo looked at Angelica asking for an explanation.
At first glance Matteo also looked at Renata who was sitting with her face bowed before him.
"Darling I'll explain to you. I asked your lawyer to come here".
"Who is he?", Matteo asked, looking at Renata and then turned to his wife.
"In the woman we're looking for, baby. You know what I mean, right?", replied Angelica looking at her husband.
"Huhhhh"
Matteo leaned his back against the back of the sofa. Staring at the face of Renata who looks increasingly whitened with both hands hugging the map brown in front of his chest.
"We have to talk dearly" Matteo said, moving from his seat to a door on the right side of the workspace.
Angelica followed Matteo into the room. While Renata looks a little panicked. The girl felt it would be difficult to face Mr. Matteo. The man was very cold and firm. He speaks little, once he speaks will be spoken incontrovertible words.

"What the hell are you, Angelica, bringing a foreign woman here" Matteo told a waist-rigged figure demanding an explanation from his wife.
"Dear listen to me first. The woman works at our cafe. I just got out there and met her in Laura's room. You can see for yourself, that woman is healthy and young. It fits the criteria we're looking for, Matte".
Matteo massaged his forehead.
"Do you know her well? Do you know her medical history? You're so sure of that foreign woman Angelica".
"You said you just met him yourself", Ketus Matteo looks annoyed.
"Honey, that girl was intending to see me, she was in trouble. He wanted to borrow the company's money for his parents' operating expenses. Doesn't mean he's desperate for the moment. We can use that girl, baby".
"No!
"I don't agree with your idea, Lica. If you keep insisting on continuing, we can find someone else who's clear about who he is. Especially his health. Remember the woman you're gonna hire is gonna be carrying our child, I'm not gonna pick any woman to hook up with my family. You understand!"
Angelica fell silent. Heard Matteo's words.
"It's a shame we should interrogate the girl in person. If you don't agree then we just cancel it and I'll obey you. How?", said Angelica persuaded Matteo while hugging the waist of the athletic man.
Angelica smiled hearing that. "Not everything. Only certain things I can get rid of. Because you're a tough guy, Mr. Matteo Thomas" Angelica replied, laughing spoiled.
"Alright, let's interrogate the woman. If he already has a child it is very difficult to maintain the womb because the time will be divided. I don't want to work with a woman with a lot of problems.

Renata could only pray in silence. "God help me, may Matteo help me. It seems he who has the power to decide everything".
Until a while later Seen the couple husband and wife out of the room. Angelica frolicked on Matteo's arm.
Matteo hugged his wife's loin, all not spared from Renata's sight. They are a compatible couple and love each other inner Renata.
"Leave us with this girl", Matteo orders Dominic and Jennifer.
Both of them immediately excused to go outside the room leaving Renata alone with the couple.
Instantly the large and luxurious room was silent. Even Renata was unmoved as ever.
Matteo and Angelica sat side by side. Matteo crossed his legs while his right hand rubbed his chin while looking fixedly at the pretty face of the girl before him who had more of her head lowered. While both hands are interlocked on the map that Renata put on his thigh.
"What's your name?", asked Matteo to open the conversation. While the beautiful-colored netra was unblinking looking at Renata.
Renata's tongue felt faint, so his body shuddered in fear making him unable to answer Matteo's light questions.
"Hey.why are you silent, my husband asks you", ketus Angelica stared at the girl's dislike.
"Darling you're right, we're just looking for someone else. I think I'm wrong to take this girl to see you".
Angelica's stern words jolted Renata's mind.
"S-aya please miss forgive me. I really need that money for my mom's surgery. This is my home certificate. The rest I will pay and overtime every day at your cafe. S-aya please ladies. S-aya no longer knows who to ask for help, while today also I have to pay for the cost of the operation" Renata said as he sobbed. Her tears eventually fell as well. Even though it was as strong as the girl was holding it back, in fact the clear crystal came out by itself.
Matteo stared fixedly at that face. Seeing the girl pleading like before honestly made Matteo's heart soften instantly. He saw Renata's hands wiping away her tears. That face looks so pale.
"You know what you're gonna do if we give you that loan you want Renata?", said Angelica.
Quickly Renata shook her head.
"You must rent out your womb to conceive our child..."
Surrogate mother, as a surrogate mother carrying our child".
