One week has passed.

The obscurity and uncertainty were still Cleo get it. She didn’t manage to find out where Harry was. Instead, she precisely heard strange sentences that made her feel no better.

“Mr. Harry is working on a big project. He needs high focus and doesn’t want anyone to distract him. You better be patient, Madam. Wait until he comes back. And he will definitely notify you immediately when he has finished with his business. He also advised for you don’t need to search or contact him for a while.”

The disappointment was evident on Cleo’s face.

Cleo didn’t know what wrong she had done. So that Harry treated her so cruelly

Cleo laughed at Dirga’s words with a blank expression.

“One week. I’ve been patient for up to a week. But, you still ask me to wait. And wait. So, how long should I wait for him to come back?”

Dirga looks troubled. He also didn’t know how long he would be able to reason and dodge questions he had a hard time answering.

“I am his wife. He has never treated me this cruelly. But for the sake of a big project, he ignores his wife and doesn’t want me to bother him?”

Cleo even accidentally thought bad.

“Is this company on the verge of bankruptcy? Because of that, Harry had to be so focused on his project that he didn’t have a family? Without communication? Do even without calling! Is that so?!”

Cleo looked for other, more plausible reasons.

“Or, could he be mad at me? Upset that I have been doing something he didn’t like? So that he is reluctant and faineant to meet me? He just doesn’t need me anymore, right?”

Dirga immediately panicked.

He had repeatedly stated that nothing serious had happened between the two of them. Harry purely wanted to isolate himself because the project he was currently working on was so important.

Cleo was even more depressed and difficult to believe in him.

Sofia who saw and heard the commotion approached. She came out of Harry’s room. Her presence surprised Cleo.

“Cleo. Is that you?”

Cleo looked confused.

“Grandma, what are you doing here? And since when have you been back at the office?”

Sofia glanced at Dirga to move away and let them talk. Sofia ushered Cleo into the room. Tell her to sit and calm down. Sofia hugged Cleo tightly after that.

“Grandma is only here to temporarily replace Harry until he returns,” Sofia noticed the look on Cleo’s face.

“You look tired and thirsty. I’ll have someone prepare a drink for you.”

Sofia walked over to the interphone. She had someone prepare hot drinks for two people. Cleo was still looking at Sofia with great enthusiasm.

“Grandma already knew that Harry had a new project? And he pushed Grandma to take over his duties while here?”

Sofia nodded. Even if it was all a lie.

Sofia’s eyes were a little different. She gave her belief. But she still would try hard.

“I would make sure about Harry’s return for you, Cleo. Although, it’s not short. Grandma will definitely take her home.”

Cleo’s blank stare was getting more and more visible.

“This does sound strange. However, now. He is serving his grandmother’s punishment. Grandma hopes you can understand. And leave it like this.”

Cleo frowned.

“What do you mean, Grandma?

Sofia was forced to make up stories freely.

“Grandma already knows about Jenny. Grandma was furious with Harry. And didn’t understand why Harry had to bring Jenny first to see Muliawan without first talking to Grandma. So because of that, grandma punished him just a little.”

“Giving him a big project. Then hope that he will bring home success for this project.”

Cleo began to get sick of hearing reasons that were not much different from Dirga’s words. Although she had already guessed that Sofia’s statement would not be much different from Dirga’s statement. However, after hearing it for myself. Disappointment Cleo couldn’t hide from her face.

Pain and sadness enveloped her.

“But, Grandma. This doesn’t mean Harry is free to ignore me without a feeling.”

Sofia patted Cleo’s hand.

“That’s not possible! How could Harry possibly ignore you heartlessly? He always uses his feelings for you. And grandma can see it in her eyes.”

Cleo looked deeply at Sofia.

“But it was still, Grandma! He needs to call me first. Or once in a while! So I shouldn’t worry!”

According to Cleo’s mind, this punishment was unreasonable.

Even though she had helped Harry’s family to find Jenny. But Sofia’s reply to Cleo was this cruel.

One of the secretaries brought them jasmine-scented tea. Came in and placed two coffee cups on the table after she knocks on the door and greets.

“Hoek!”

Nausea suddenly pierced Cleo’s stomach. She touched her stomach and covered her mouth in discomfort.

Sofia was worried about Cleo’s condition.

“What’s wrong, honey? Why are you nauseous and seem unwell? You want grandma to take you to the hospital?”

Cleo shook her head.

“No. I just had trouble sleeping these past few days. Easy loss of appetite. I’m also so sensitive to smells.”

Sofia noticed two cups of fragrant tea.

“Including the jasmine scent of this tea?”

Sofia told Harry’s secretary to bring out their teacups and replace them with something else that didn’t give off a strong smell.

Cleo was still touching her slightly weak stomach and head.

Sofia tried to persuade.

“I think we need to see a doctor. And check your health. I’m sure this could be a serious problem. We need to find it out.”

Cleo still showed her reluctance.

“I’m fine, Grandma. And maybe you are right. I’m just not feeling well. this is also possible because I’ve been thinking a lot lately.”

Anyone never knew if Cleo meant to be sarcastic or if she was just telling the truth.

Cleo’s words just earlier really pierced Sofia’s heart. Sofia eventually felt guilty and uneasy.

“I’m sorry, Cleo. Grandma is really apologizing.”

Cleo was still busy controlling nausea in her stomach.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go to the doctor? I’m worried about your condition.”

Cleo felt queasy again. Sofia immediately took out her cell phone and called Dirga.

“Prepare the car now on. We’ll go to the hospital!”

Dirga sounded panicked. But didn’t ask too much. Apart from following Sofia’s demand. Dirga’s footsteps stopped as he was about to walk into Harry’s room. He stood transfixed in front and stared at the figure of Adhitya who had just arrived.

Dirga immediately approached that man.

“Mr. Adhitya. What do you need here? And how did you always come without making an appointment?”

Dirga gave a cold look. Adhitya showed a colder attitude no less than him.

His cell phone rang again.

“Where have you been? Why did it take so long and not come back soon to help me take Cleo to the hospital?”

Dirga said a little hoarsely.

“I’m already at the door, madam. It’s just that you have guests waiting for you. He is Mr. Aditya. So from now on, what should I do?”

Sofia didn’t flinch. She did not expect Adhitya to come into this situation. She also didn’t want to miss the chance to take Cleo to meet a doctor. She finally made a decision in a short time.

“Take Cleo to the hospital. And let me talk to him.”

The director nodded in understanding.

“Okay, madam.”
