Chapter 48: Go or stay
Arabella, who had just handed Leonard the chosen ring from Ayumi, gave a code to immediately put it on the ring finger of the woman of Japanese descent.
"It will definitely fit on Ayumi's finger. Now you put this beautiful ring on your future wife's ring finger," said Arabella, who was currently looking at the man in front of her.
She was surprised to see Leonard looking sour when she looked at him. Even though she had put on a smile as sweet as possible and acted happy for the happiness of the married couple.
'What is wrong with him? Why do you look like someone who is really upset? I didn't do anything wrong though. He should be happy that I don't mind his desire to marry the woman he loves. Sometimes this bastard's attitude makes me feel even more confused about what he wants,' murmured Arabella who now averted her eyes from Leonard because she was uncomfortable with the man's sharp gaze.
Still feeling very irritated by the laid-back attitude of the hated woman, Leonard has now accepted Ayumi's chosen ring and thinks it's too simple. "Seems like you're right, Arabella."
Leonard is now grabbing Ayumi's palm which is above the display case glass to pin the ring with a simple design, there is the ring finger of his future legal wife in front of Siri's wife who looks very calm and doesn't show that the woman has a relationship with her.
He is now observing the slender fingers that are wearing the ring of Ayumi's choice. "Arabella's right. A ring that I thought was ordinary because it wasn't fancy looks really beautiful on your finger, honey."
Leonard is now pointing his finger at Ayumi because he wants his woman to also put a ring on him. "Now change!"
If just a moment ago, Ayumi, who really liked her chosen ring, didn't blink at the beautiful sparkle of the jewelry that would become the main ritual when she got married. She imagined putting the ring on her lover, but was forced to put it on a man she didn't love at all.
'Patience, Ayumi. This is only temporary because Leonard will definitely understand your situation after telling the truth later. I have to sincerely apologize to him so that our friendship won't be damaged later,' Ayumi muttered, who was currently nodding slowly and taking the couple's ring.
Then put it on his fingers with strong knuckles looking for a man who she actually admits to have a handsome face. You could even say the perfect sculpture of the man in front of her fascinated women. However, she feels that her feelings for Leonard have always been only friends and will never turn into lovers or husbands even though they are married later.
"It fits, doesn't it? This ring looks perfect on your finger, Leo. Don't always look at everything from luxury and price because sometimes something that looks ordinary can look more classy and elegant. Remember that carefully because I don't like things that are overdone," said Ayumi who was now pointing at the ring chosen by Leonard which she thought was too luxurious.
When Leonard was engrossed in observing the ring on his ring finger which had just been pinned by the beautiful woman in front of him, he was disturbed by the sound of the cellphone ringing which he knew belonged to Arabella because the woman he hated the most was opening the sling bag he was wearing.
At first, Arabella observed the interaction of a couple who would soon formalize their relationship to the level of marriage, she was very surprised when she heard the ringing tone from the cellphone which was intentionally not silent and sounded very noisy.
Not wanting to disturb the lovers, Arabella's teachers walked out of the jewelry store to see who was calling and also picked up. As soon as she took her cell phone in her bag and saw the name of the person who was currently calling her, her face now looked very gloomy.
'Did Leonard's brother contact me?' Arabella mumbled who is currently not wasting time because she has shifted the green button up to receive a call and heard a baritone voice from the other side of the phone.
"Arabella."
"Yes, Mr. Stevan. Is there something you want to tell me?" asked Arabella with a throbbing feeling because she knew that the man behind the phone would never call her for no reason.
Moreover, she knew that the wife of Leonard's brother was very jealous and disliked her. She even misunderstood into thinking she liked Stevan.
"I know that at this time Leonard will marry a woman named Ayumi. I feel that I have failed to educate my brother, Arabella. So, I will make up for it by telling Leonard to divorce you and will employ you in my partner's company, but on one condition, you must not demanded Zaydan marry you like he promised when he asked you to marry Leonard. How?"
Arabella was silent for a moment because she felt confused to decide. Will she accept the offer from Leonard's brother who wants to help or refuse and still go to her hometown.
'What should I do? Is it better to leave or stay?' Arabella muttered who currently looked very confused.
Until she heard a baritone voice from the figure of the man who was currently in front of her and made her flinch in surprise.
"What's the matter, Arabella? Who are you talking to?" asked Leonard who was currently very curious about who Arabella was talking to.
