“Because it seems that we have reached an agreement and are just waiting for the results, I think, I have to go first. You can see Mrs Sofia whenever you are ready. But of course, it must be in the near future. If you are really serious about this offer.”

Swift and precise. That’s how professionals worked.

Cleo nodded in response.

“Of course. I’ll see her tomorrow, early in the morning,” Cleo replied with confidence, without having to think twice.

The two of them also ended the conversation.

“Have you met and made a deal with her?” Harry asked, amid his full attention to the spate of documents on his desk, without turning his head.

Even though he focused on his job, Harry suddenly remembered a special job that he gave to Dirga this morning. And because he coincidentally remembered it, he directly asked his secretary.

On the other hand, Dirga, who was sitting on the sofa in Harry’s workspace, and was lining up several files on the table to make some comparisons, lifted and turned around his face when his boss was talking to him.

“Who do you mean, Sir?” Dirga asked, still didn’t understand the meaning behind his boss’ words.

Today there were many proposals and agreements that he had agreed and worked on. So which agreement did the boss mean??

“It was about that woman, Cleo. Have you met her?” Harry asked again because Dirga did not understand what he meant.

Dirga finally understood.

“Ah, Do you mean Miss Cleo and about the marriage contract agreement?” Dirga asked back without intending to make his boss answer again because, of course, there was only one woman named Cleo on the pacts list that he had to sort out.

Harry just kept silent without responding.

“I have made a deal with her. As per your instruction, I asked her to comply with a requirement that you gave, and she surely agreed. Ms Cleo will meet Mrs Sofia tomorrow morning at the hospital,” Dirga explained the results of his treaty with Cleo this afternoon.

Harry nodded in understanding. Then he stopped his work for a moment and slowly played his fingers on the table.

“Do you think that she will be successful?” Harry asked after he had thought of several possibilities in his mind.

“I have no idea. As you say, it all depends on her. But in my opinion, she will be successful. Because people who have firm goals, they usually give all their abilities to achieve what they want. It was the case with Miss Cleo.”

“Although no one can guarantee what percentage of her success will be, I’m sure that she will be able to do it,” Dirga answered with all kinds of predictions.

Harry raised his eyebrows.

Giving all her might to achieve what she wants??

Harry recalled the first time that he met Cleo. That woman had determination in her eyes. Because of that, Harry intended to consider her.

But whatever it was, Harry just needed to wait for all the results tomorrow. He certainly expected good news from that woman.

Then Harry indifferently resumed his work again.

All night long, Cleo had thought of various ways to do her best so that Harry’s grandma could acknowledge and like her. But no matter how many times she thought of various ways, she was not sure which option was right for her to use.

Cleo did not know the nature and character of Harry’s grandma. She couldn’t just carelessly act because this was the first time for Cleo to meet with her.

As people said, the first impression had to be memorable because it would cling for a long time. Therefore, Cleo didn’t want to make any bad impression for their first meeting.

Cleo regretted not asking more about the big madam to Dirga this afternoon when they met. It was a good opportunity for her to know more about the person who would be her target.

Cleo could ask Dirga, but she was too reluctant to do that, especially since it was very late. She felt that– it was impolite if she had to contact someone that was not close to her, at this hour.

It was already midnight, but Cleo could not close her eyes, which were already heavy because she was too excited and anxious to wait for tomorrow.

She didn’t know whether her meeting with Mrs Sofia would go well or not, but..as she had said before, it was better to try than never.

Even if she failed, she would not lose everything because she didn’t sacrifice anything. Although of course, she hoped that her efforts would work well.

Cleo had made a list of the characters and situations that she would play when she met Mrs Sofia. And even though she had made many considerations and choices, Cleo still didn’t know which one to use.

Or should she be herself instead of thinking all kinds of ways, which she didn’t know if it would work or not?
