Young Widow Pursued Om Bule

The Star Party

"How's Jack, still dodging?" jack asked to finish the meeting this afternoon.

"Not really. Yesterday morning, when I went to his house, he was still at home. But we didn't say hi to each other because Jack was in his room. When he said goodbye to Reo, I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for Reo. A few nights ago he came home still at 7pm. Just a quick smile at me, then kissed Reo who was in his carriage. After that he went straight up to the 2nd floor and didn't come down until I got home."

Clark laughed while shaking his head. He then took Riani into his room.

"Tomorrow night over a charity event for a government-owned cancer foundation. All employers are invited to attend. This year's event was held in Manchester. Will you accompany me?"

"Jack is there?"

"What if he was present? You're afraid he misunderstood our closeness? Let alone. You are now a free woman. And he alone set you free."

"That's not the problem. I heard that he....."

"Close to Firuse Bhakti? The Turkish artist? They've been close since making a joint ad 3 weeks ago. I heard Jack's company also contracted Firuse to be Jack's sports advertising star."

"Eh....."

"Did it affect you to hear Jack close to him? You have been divorced for 5 months. Not moving on yet?"

"It's not so, Clark."

Clark smiled. "You're not willing because Jack has moved on and you haven't?"

"It's not about Move on, Jack. But about the wounds of the heart that have not healed. I promised in my heart I would never open my heart to Jack. But that doesn't mean all the wounds Jack gave me will heal quickly, right? Need a process."

Clark nodded. "I knew. I used to be in your position when Camila chose Jack. However, experience has taught me that the more you see the person who has been in your heart with others, the faster we heal our own wounds. But take it easy, for the past 4 years, Jack has never been present at a charity event like this. Even if Jack's donations are always there."

"Are you not ashamed to take me?"

Clark frowned. "Why should you be ashamed?"

"I'm a widow, Clark. Widow of two."

"I'm pretty sure no one will recognize you as Jack Almond's widow. Furthermore, you don't look like a widow. You are beautiful. The beauty of Asian women. If Jack is afraid of polishing you too deeply because he is possessive of the more men who like you, I will polish you very wonderfully so that your shine looks. And I'm sure that your presence with me tomorrow will defeat all the classy women who will be there."

"Clark....!"

"Finished lunch, we're going to my salon. We'll take care there and then go to the boutique to choose a dress. Can you meet Reo later this afternoon?"

"I'll call his nanny."

Clark had something in his heart. Don't regret seeing Riani tomorrow, Jack.

*********

Jack sees Cassie playing with Reo in his room. He looked at his watch which showed at half-six in the afternoon.

"Cassie, where's Sister Hanna?"

"While making Reo's dinner."

"Mommy Riani doesn't exist?"

"So mommy came but 5 o'clock was home. He said there was an office event or something, Cassie was also less clear about hearing about the phone call with friends."

"Oh...." Jack went to his room. He should be preparing to attend a charity event tonight. He hasn't been gone in a long time. But the new Firuse in the UK was so eager to attend the event because it was held directly by the government.

Jack understood, Firuse certainly wants to meet many famous people to further smooth his way into a star in the UK. Although in fact, the 28-year-old artist is already very famous in his home country.

Jack will pick up Firuse at the hotel at 7 p.m. That's why he will soon prepare himself.

**********

Clark was almost speechless to see Riani who had just stepped out of the makeup room.

The moss-green dress contrasts sharply with Riani's typical Asian whites. Knee-length dress, it looks fit in the body of Riani who does have a body shape like a Spanish guitar.

The sleeveless dress does look simple but looks luxurious on Riani's body. Riani actually did not agree to buy the dress because the price alone is more expensive than Riani's salary a month. Clark doesn't care about the price of the dress.

The high heels, the black purse that Riani used tonight, were exorbitant as well. Not to mention the jewelry that Riani was wearing. Although because Riani had rejected it, Clark finally agreed that the jewelry Riani wore would be returned to Clark finished the event.

"Clark, wouldn't it be too much for me to use all of this to the party? It's a charity party."

"No, pretty. You're gonna see how this charity party actually turns into a show of dresses, shoes, bags and jewelry."

"All right."

Because this is the show of nobles, famous businessmen and also famous British stars, red carpet was provided.

Jack and Firuse arrive first. The beautiful woman looked very happy holding Jack's hand through the red carpet.

Every one that comes will be seen on a giant screen available on one of the walls in the room.

Some reporters tried to ask about the closeness of Jack and Firuse but Jack did not respond. They begin to suspect, where Jack's wife who has not been seen with Jack for several months.

Shortly after, the Mercedes Benz car that Clark was riding with Riani also arrived.

As the two went down and Clark asked Riani to hold his hand, all the reporters immediately shone a spotlight on the couple. Especially Clark who has always come alone for years.

"That's right, Clark? Finally he came to bring a partner as well." said Caleb Thomson, one of the young businessmen from London who had just married Grace Aslon . (That does not know who they can read the novel I hate you bule, My Best Photo and 3 hearts 1 love).

Jack, who is at the table that Caleb and his wife are sitting at, glances at the wall featuring guests as they pass through the red carpet.

Jack's heart was beating so fast. He barely even recognized the girl Clark was with. But when he saw the dimples, when the face was smiling and displaying a series of white teeth neatly arranged, especially with the actual body shape Jack had memorized every curve, he said, made the man suddenly feel hot until he had to loosen his tie a little.

Clark who had arranged for a table with Jack was immediately led by the guest picker to the table according to the invitation.

"Clark, you've finally brought a couple to this show." Caleb said while hugging his senior brother while studying in America.

"You want me to be single?" Clark patted his business partner's shoulder. He looked at Grace. "Hi Grace, it's getting pretty after having kids. Congratulations huh?"

"Thank you, brother." said Grace, shaking hands with Clark and Riani in turn.

Clark looked at Jack. "Hallo, man. Hi, Firuse right?"

Jack only returned Clark's greeting with a slow nod as his eyes fell on Riani. Especially on Riani's cleavage which she thinks is too low.

"Did you introduce this Riani. My Indonesian business partner."

"My mother is also Indonesian" Caleb said and immediately used Indonesian. Grace also seems happy to meet Riani.

The show also began. From the royal side was Prince Philip. The handsome 30-year-old seemed to be quite stealing the attention of all those present after his engagement to princess Anastasya ran aground in the middle of the road.

Every businessman, nobleman and star present in the night was introduced.

Philip who sat on the podium was instantly blown away by an Asian-faced woman, who wore a moss-green dress.

When the show was over and the guests enjoyed dinner, Philip approached Clark's table. He knew Caleb.

"Prince!" Caleb immediately stood up while bowing his body. Others do the same.

"Thank you for the donation. May this effort of ours help those who need help." said Prince Philip, occasionally glancing at Riani.

"Who is this beautiful woman?" philip asked without being able to hold back his curiosity when he saw Riani.

"He's Clark's best friend." said Caleb.

"You're Asian?" ask Philip.

"Yes." Yeah." Riani replied while shaking Philip's hand.

"What's your name?"

"Riani."

"What a pretty name. As beautiful as the person." praise Philip make Riani slightly blush. Without them knowing, Jack's heart just gets hotter.

Especially when the other businessmen came and praised Riani's beauty, Jack's heart seemed unwilling.

"May I open the dance tonight by inviting the prettiest woman in the room to dance?" philip said of the loudspeaker.

All waited tensely, who would these royal people invite to dance. When Philip finally extended his hand towards Riani, the women looked jealous but the men agreed to say that Prince Philip's choice was not wrong.

And Jack's heart grew more and more unwilling. The desire within him seemed to encourage him to pull Riani out of the room.
