"So what do you think?" Fanny asked as soon as she finished explaining the ideas and concepts she had created for Francisco's wedding.
He then grabbed the cup that was originally served to him. Gulp it a little, then put it back on the glass table that was right in front of him.
"Ng... is this not—"
"I strongly agree with the concept suggested by Miss Shankara," cut Helen with a sumringah look there. Especially after hearing the idea if Fanny wants to make a massive party held in a famous hotel with will cost hundreds of millions just to rent one building in one day.
"Argh how many times have I reminded you? Don't call me Miss Shankara! I'm no longer part of this family, so stop calling me by that sickening name. Call me Ghassani, or at least call me Fanny so we're more familiar. Besides soon we become besan," said Fanny who was careless with the call given by Helen for herself.
"O-oh sorry if it makes you uncomfortable" Helen murmured.
"Ah, no problem anymore" said Fanny who then leaned her back on the back of the chair she was sitting on.
Aphrodite, who had her sentence cut off by Helen, glanced at her.
"Ma!" Call Aphrodite quietly while looking at her. Helen glanced at him then elbowed Aphrodite's arm there. Gave her a signal to be quiet and follow her every word.
"Huft~" Aphrodite sighed in annoyance there. Helen was always like this, always looking for opportunities in narrowness, and that made her a little upset with Helen.
"What do you think of Aphrodite?" Ask Fanny who then turned her gaze towards her.
Aphrodite who heard him spontaneously was startled and looked up reflexively at him.
"Eh?" Her son unconsciously.
"What do you think? Do you like it or not? It seems you object to the concept that Mama created," he said.
"Mama?" Beo Antonio there while staring at Fanny with a face that is difficult to understand. Fanny glanced at him a glance then rolled her eyeballs off guard.
"So how?" Fanny asked again after no response from the woman she was talking to. He turned to look at Aphrodite who still looked confused there.
Meanwhile Helen, sitting next to her, nudged her shoes towards Aphrodite's feet, gesturing her to respond in agreement.
Aphrodite glanced at him to find Helen looking at him with both eyes glaring and a mouth that was struggling like a spell.
"Ng.. I follow how good it is," the final who then turned to look at Fanny in front of him.
"Okay then, then what about you, baby?" Fanny looked at Francisco who was sitting next to Aphrodite there.
"I don't mind either, after all, it seems to be a good fit. And again, I did want to make a marriage this grand so that Aphrodite could not forget it," Francisco glanced at Aphrodite who was now glancing back at him after the man mentioned her name. Francisco smiled wryly, while Aphrodite replied with just a thin, stiff-looking smile.
"Alright because you have agreed, then let my people take care of some of it," said Fanny who then turned to look at her manager. He who just wanted to talk to the woman was cut off by Antonio there.
"Do you not want to ask my opinion?" Antonio asked himself.
Fanny glanced at him. "No need! Besides, you're the one who doesn't want to bother and just wants to take care of it. So there's no need for me to ask your opinion!" Next with a glare, Fanny's focus then turned back to staring at her manager there.
"It turns out you're still the same as you used to be" he muttered softly but could be heard by them very clearly.
Helen, who has since noticed the behavior of Antonio and Fanny, who are manta married couples, then found a new fact about an Antonio. The man now did not seem too scary to himself. And for Helen, after seeing Fanny there. He knew the other side of the Antonio Shankara he was most afraid of, especially if the man had already collected all his debts.
"Well, since you've agreed and I've ordered all my men to take care of some of it, then it's time for me to leave" Fanny got up from there.
"Huh?" Everyone stared at Fanny with a surprised look.
"Where are you going?" Asked Francisco who then stood up quickly.
"Mom should meet someone. Mommy's here, so your plan is to meet your old friend."
"Can't Mom stay here any longer? What if mom stays?"
"Mama won't be strong enough to live in one more house with this old man," Fanny pointed at Antonio who was sitting there.
"But mom won't rush home right?"
"Of course not dear. Mama will stay here until your wedding is over."
"Then as long as you're here, where will you live?"
"Mama's already rented an apartment, so mama's gonna live there. If you want to visit, Mama will send you her address later."
"All right," murmured Francisco.
"Aphrodite, see you later," Fanny turned to stare at Aphrodite there.
"A-ah, yeah. See you later" said Aphrodite, rising from her seat and bowing in her honor. Helen and Erland got up there smiling, and they gave her farewell.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Sha—ehh, mistress Ghassani I mean," Helen smiled wryly at him.
"Yes. I'm glad to see you too. Then I say goodbye, I'll see you again."
"Yes. See you later" replied Helen.
Fanny then left from there. He briefly stopped his steps when he passed Antonio who was sitting there.
Fanny turned to look at the silent Antonio while stalling a smile there. The man was silent without even turning his head in the slightest towards himself.
"It turns out you're still as annoying as you used to be" murmured Fanny who then sauntered away along with her manager out of the room. Meanwhile, Antonio who heard it increasingly flashed a smile on his face, responding to the words of the woman who became his ex-wife.
Helen, Aphrodite and Erland remained silent without comment. The three stared in the direction where the woman disappeared along with her manager. They really don't believe what they see.
