Now Arsen stood by Rachel's side and began to embrace her shoulder, it suddenly made Rachel stunned while continuing to look at her in confusion.
Similarly, the reporters who became more and more swarming them, seeing Arsen's actions that seemed to happen nothing in front of them, suddenly made their eyes squeak as if unexpected.
"Well, young master, are you sure you want to forgive Miss Rachel who cheated even in the early days of marriage?" Ask one of the reporters.
Arsen sighed once more and then began to emit a faint smile before all of them,
"It looks like you guys really misunderstood this whole thing."
"Misunderstand? You mean misunderstand that how young master?"
"My wife is not having an affair, she is also going with Antony on my permission" Arsen told a lie.
Hearing that, Rachel's eyes became more rounded when she heard the statement given by Arsen to reporters.
"Arsen Lim, you're still trying to protect my good name even when you're hurting and disappointed in me." Rachel muttered in her heart that began to re-glass her eyes because she felt haru and felt increasingly guilty.
"Huh?! Is that true? Are you sure young master?!"
"Yes, of course. It was supposed to be me who met Antony to discuss some of the ongoing cooperation projects, but because at that time I was having a sudden meeting with a new client, so as the wife who also doubles as my Secretary, then Rachel was the one who replaced me to meet Antony." Obviously Arsen again who returned a faint smile.
The reporters who heard him started to nod in understanding.
"Ooh so it turns out, it turns out that the news is not true." Knock on some reporters while continuing to nod his head.
But there are some more journalists who still feel a bit awkward and still lack confidence in the statement given by Arsen at that time.
"But the young master, photographed clearly as if Miss Rachel was holding onto the back of young master Antony, and they looked so familiar, like more than just co-workers." A reporter, revealed,
Hearing that, Arsen's smile suddenly faded for a moment, inexplicably his heart ached again when he imagined the photo, let alone he saw himself with his eyes if on that night, he, Antony tried to kiss his wife's lips.
Rachel looked back at Arsen, somehow feeling that there was a sense of excitement when Arsen still wanted to defend her in front of the crowd, but the feeling of sadness is also inevitable even the feeling of guilt is now increasingly felt by him to make him unable to say even a word.
"Young man, why are you quiet? Are you starting to doubt your wife?" Ask the reporter again.
Sebenarnya, saat itu Arsen mulai kembali merasa emosi dan ingin sekali rasanya ia meninju keras wajah wartawan yang berani berfikir seperti itu padanya. Namun lagi-lagi ia harus berpikir kembali tindakan apa yang harus ia buat di depan banyak orang, ia tidak mau hanya karena emosi sesaat, akan membuat lebih banyak prahara lagi.
And again, Arsen thought, if he hit the reporter and looks emotional, then the news will also spread and he believes Antony will be more happy to see it, and that's what Arsen avoided.
Finally, Arsen again snorted and gave a thin smile again,
"Of course not, for that I also know for sure the reason, because my wife has told me everything. So, at that time Antony was looking to celebrate our cooperation by inviting my wife to drink wine, but unfortunately my wife did not drink wine, so Antony was forced to spend his own wine that he had already ordered. So that's what got her drunk and made my wife inevitably have to make sure she was safe by holding her back from behind so as not to collapse." It was obviously Arsen again who kept trying to be calm,
"Oooh so it turns out, um gosh it turns out the news is really hoax." All the reporters again.
Meanwhile, Rachel, at that time she began to bow down in shame and began to shed her tears because she could no longer contain it because she felt more guilty for Arsen who was still so concerned about her.
"What kind of wife am I? What kind of wife??" He murmured in his heart.
He was so ashamed of Arsen who was still willing to lie to everyone just to cover up the mistakes he had made so that he did not continue to be bullied.
"Alright, I think there's been enough of an explanation from me, and as you can see, my wife and I are still fine, and nothing has happened between us." Arsen also widened his smile as he looked at Rachel while starting to rub Rachel's shoulders.
"But, why does Miss Rachel seem to be sad and crying?" again one of the reporters felt awkward with Rachel's attitude that seemed really strange and continued to be silent.
Hearing that, Arsen glanced back at Rachel who continued to look down while continuing to wipe her tears that were dripping more and more.
"Oh, hal itu terjadi karena berita yang kalian buat itu membuatnya sangat down, terutama saat membaca komentar-komentar pedas yang dilontarkan untuknya, itu lah yang membuatnya jadi shock dan seolah kehilangan semangat. Jadi ku harap, selanjutnya hal itu tidak akan terjadi lagi, karena jika masih ada yang berani memberi komentar miring padanya setelah mendengarkan penjelasanku, maka aku tidak akan segan-segan menghancurkan hidup orang itu, siapapun dia aku tidak akan peduli!" Tegas Arsen di hadapan seluruh wartawan.
Arsen without saying anything more, immediately took Rachel out of the crowd with the help of some security who worked at the main office. Arsen walked quickly as he continued to pull Rachel's hand away from the crowd of reporters, he continued to step outside the main building, while Rachel was still silent and continued to wipe her tears,
Until finally they arrived in the parking lot and next to Arsen's car, when Arsen immediately let go of Rachel's hand and re-attached his flat face. Rachel looked back at him with a sad look.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you got to get involved and so you have to lie to people. I'm really sorry." Lirih.
But Arsen just kept quiet and chose to go straight into his car. At that moment Rachel could only be silent looking at him where he stood, as if without wanting to catch up to get into the car.
"Do you want them to see me when they leave you here and finally new news?" Ketus Arsen was staring flatly at Rachel.
Rachel also understood what he meant, she lethargic began to step into the Arsen car, until finally the sports car was speeding away from the main building.
"After the incident, I somehow felt that I was not worthy to be with you, Arsen Lim." Rachel muttered in a heart that came back crying.
But Arsen continued to remain silent regardless of how many tears Rachel had shed since. Realizing they were very far from the main building, Rachel also made a sound.
"Once again, just an apology I can say to you, I'm sorry. And I feel more and more, it seems like a woman like me does not deserve a man as good and loyal as you. So better, you put me down here, even sitting next to you I'm so embarrassed and totally inappropriate." Rachel who sounded so good.
And what happened, as if being lost in a sense of inaction, this time Arsen chose to obey Rachel's request. He quickly just put the brakes on his car to make the speed of the luxury car stop instantly.
*Ciiiiiiiettt*
The sound of car tires rubbing strongly with asphalt roads was also heard, he said, Rachel looked back softly at Arsen's flat face and just stared straight ahead as if without caring about Rachel who wanted to get out of her car.
"Thank you for everything, please take care of yourself." Said Rachel who became increasingly discouraged when she saw Arsen who seemed not to prevent his departure.
...Seriate......
