As soon as he heard the voice of the female figure next to him speaking very casually, as if he was carefree when he ordered to work with Arabella who was hated so much. Leonard's reflex immediately choked on the chewed food. The burning sensation in his throat caused by the food made him immediately take the drink in front of him.
Now, the heat gradually began to disappear as soon as the water in the glass had been gulped down. "Aaah ... why am I suddenly choking on food? Looks like someone is talking about me," said Leonard who was acting like he didn't mind Ayumi's idea.
In fact, he felt very sick of hearing the idea that he thought was very crazy. 'Imagining having to work in the same office with that cheap woman, makes me very sick. I would never do such a crazy thing,' muttered Leonard who was now glaring at Arabella.
It was as if he wanted to give Arabella a threat to reject Ayumi's crazy idea. While he acts sweet to Ayumi so as not to arouse suspicion.
"Seems like a very good idea, Ayumi. I can also teach my naughty cousin not to wander around incoherently like he usually does. Later I will talk to my stepbrother to accept Arabella to work in the company."
Leonard turned to look at Arabella again and returned to acting with a smile. "How about it, Arabella? Would you like to work for my family's company?" Directing a sharp glare because he wanted the woman he hated so much to reject Ayumi's idea.
'Hurry up, you idiot! Just watch out if he wants to later,' Leonard cursed in his heart. Hope Arabella understands the meaning of the code just given.
Meanwhile, Arabella who had been very surprised, as well as the response of everyone in front of her. Without thinking, when she saw Leonard's face which insisted that she must refuse, now she immediately shook her head.
"No. I want to apply for a job elsewhere because I really want to gain experience on my own. Not because of relying on family connections. It's the same as not going forward for me to get different treatment from the staff at the company later when you think I'm the owner's nephew. company."
Arabella was truly relieved to be able to express a subtle disapproval that didn't hurt everyone in the room at all.
'Nor am I willing to work under that bastard's rule. I'm so sick of it and will never work quietly later because I'm always under pressure,' murmured Arabella who was now very relieved and returned Leonard's sharp gaze.
Meanwhile, the husband and wife who are currently staring at each other, feel very confused to answer. If there was no Ayumi, they would not hesitate to give an answer because they would immediately reject the woman's wishes.
Naylasari, who was very upset because his son's wife siri took advantage of Ayumi's presence, couldn't immediately forbid her to refuse. 'This woman really is as cunning as a snake for taking advantage of the situation at a time like this. Just watch out later,' she cursed in her heart because she couldn't reveal it to her son's serial wife.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who currently didn't want to arouse suspicion from Ayumi, thus looked at Arabella. "So you want to work for another company without our help? Are you sure you can?"
"Yes, Uncle. I'm sure because I really want to learn to live independently without relying on the big name of this family. Hopefully someone will accept me to work." Arabella this time was excited because she felt that there was a green light from Leonard's parents and she would no longer feel cramped in the prison in the Leonard family's palace.
She felt like she couldn't breathe from being around people who didn't like her at all.
"Uncle and Aunt let me work, right?"
The husband and wife finally had to agree to the request of the woman who was considered very cunning. Until Naylasari represented the husband's answer. "Okay. Then you can look for work elsewhere."
Arabella's face now looks very radiant and she is truly grateful to finally be free from the prison of this evil family. "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Meanwhile, Ayumi, who had only been listening to the conversation from the family, now patted Arabella on the shoulder. "If it's my help, will you accept it?"
"It means?" asked Arabella who was now frowning because she didn't understand what Ayumi said.
"I have a friend who owns a company in the property sector. It's not big, but it might need employees. By the way, what graduate are you? I'll tell my friend later." Ayumi was still staring at Arabella and asked about the most important thing for the terms of working in the company.
"I...." Arabella really felt very confused about what to answer because she was afraid that if she was honest, Ayumi would feel suspicious of her.
