Chapter 34: Bad guy reply
This time Arabella again and again confused to make a decision. Actually, she is very interested in Ayumi's offer because she realizes that in this era if you don't have connections, it's not easy to work in a company.
However, if she accepts an offer from Ayumi, it is the same as licking her own spit because earlier she confidently said that she wanted to try on her own without any help from others.
Arabella's reflex acting flashed a smile and patted Ayumi's shoulder. Hope the beautiful woman with white skin will not be offended by the answer.
"I'm sorry, Ayumi. It's not that I don't want to, but I want to try on my own first. I want to rely on my own abilities because my parents are not here and don't manage me."
"So, I want to try to find an experience in this big city," said Arabella, who is now very careful when speaking because she doesn't want to offend the woman next to her.
Meanwhile, Leonard, who is currently very happy because he will not always see Arabella, wants to focus on spending time with Ayumi.
"You are extraordinary, Arabella for having the desire to try to live independently without relying on connections. Looks like you can find a job from now on. Later the driver will take you to the company you are going to."
At first, Arabella's face lit up when she got permission and was told to look for work today. However, the last sentence with a commanding tone that made her feel very uncomfortable ended up disappointed.
'Why do you have to bring a driver? I don't want that at all. Was he acting nice in front of Ayumi and pretending to talk like that? I'd better refuse it gently,' Arabella whispered who was currently staring at the man with an intimidating gaze.
"There's no need to take a car because I want to go by myself by taxi and don't want to bother everyone. Especially in modern times and I can take any vehicle through an online application."
Now Leonard's parents are looking at each other again and again and asking their son to solve all the problems created by the woman in front of him without making Ayumi feel uncomfortable with their chat.
Leonard, who had been staring intently at his wife Siri with a gaze full of hatred, could now understand the meaning of his parents' gaze. He follows Arabella's play because he doesn't want to make Ayumi feel suspicious of Arabella's relationship with his family.
"Okay, do whatever you think is good because I don't want to be an evil cousin who forbids your good wishes. We'd better end this conversation because the food will get cold. Leonard turned to look at Ayumi who had been listening to their words.
"Eat it, honey. Do I need to feed it?" Leonard exclaimed with a smile. Although actually in his heart filled with anger burst out when Arabella denied his orders.
Of course he thought he had to be nice in front of the woman he loved so much, so as not to feel bad for him.
On the other hand, Ayumi who was chuckling amusedly responded to Leonard's mischief when he treated him like a child when he was fed a meal. "I'll eat myself because I'm not a kid, Leo. You enjoy your meal too. Have a nice meal everyone."
Ayumi who is now looking at the people in the dining room one by one respectfully before shoving a spoonful of food into her mouth.
It was then followed by everyone nodding their heads and starting to enjoy the food in silence. As if they don't want their eating ritual to be disturbed by unimportant discussions and disturbing their appetite.
It was different with Arabella, who had absolutely no appetite for food in front of her because at this time it was replaced with a feeling of pleasure when she heard Leonard's answer, which had not forced the family driver to deliver it.
Arabella took some food only out of respect for the owner of the house because she knew not to eat would be considered insulting. In fact, she preferred simple food to the food of the rich.
In the past, when she was at the boarding house, she only had breakfast of two slices of white bread without anything, whereas now there are various menus that should arouse her appetite.
However, the various delicious foods in front of her did not arouse her appetite at all because the only thing she wanted was to get out of the house immediately.
'I can get out of here today. Just leave all the expensive clothes that Mr. Zaydan bought here. There's no point in me staying here when Mr Zaydan doesn't care about me anymore. I will return to Bali and start a new chapter with a calm life,' murmured Arabella who is now planning to go to the terminal and return to Bali.
Even though it would be tiring and the trip would take longer, Arabella didn't mind at all because she didn't have enough money to get on a plane.
Moreover, she has to save money for living expenses in Bali later when she is not working. Feeling that her plan was perfect, Arabella chose to enjoy the food, stuffing her stomach to save money so she wouldn't buy food.
I don't know how much time has passed, now the five people in the dining room have finished their eating ritual.
Reflex Arabella got up from her position and cleaned everyone's food scraps because she was used to tidying things herself. "Let me take it to the back, Aunty."
Of course Naylasari was very annoyed when Arabella seemed to be looking for face in front of everyone. Moreover, there is Ayumi who is still silent in her place. "Let the maid take care of it, Arabella."
Arabella, who felt bad for just sitting around doing nothing, reflexively shook her head. "It's okay, Aunty. It's just light work anyway."
When Arabella was busy piling the dirty dishes one by one, she felt offended by Ayumi's words.
Ayumi, who had just drank water, was surprised by Arabella's behavior and made her feel very uncomfortable because she had been silent all this time without helping to clean up the food scraps. Moreover, since childhood, she never touched the housework which she considered to be a servant's job.
"Auntie's right, Arabella. Why do you bother cleaning up the leftovers? There are waiters working here. If you do their job, it will be a loss for aunty to have paid them. After all, you are a relative here, not a waitress. Or do you want to be considered servant by everyone?"
Arabella, who was now feeling confused, blinked because she couldn't answer Ayumi's harsh words, which she thought were very piercing.
'Gosh, this woman I thought was meek turned out to be a very rude and arrogant woman. It turns out that the mate does represent the couple. The arrogant Leonard really deserves a match with the very rude Ayumi.'
'Hopefully they will be a happy couple forever. Even though I'm sure that later they won't give in when they fight. That's payback for a bad guy like Leonard,' Arabella muttered to herself.
