Chương 6: Paying With My Body
"What do you mean unnecessary?" Viona immediately raised an eyebrow, "You guys have forced your will for no reason and now I suspect you just want to trap me. That's true, right?"
Viona was irritated by the attitude of rich people like this, 'Is it fun to cause people trouble like this?'
"That's not what my brother meant, Miss. What we mean is, that you don't need to provide any proof. Our men have checked the situation around the shop area from CCTV footage. Sammy was the one who came to the flower shop alone and from my nephew's story, everything that happened was appropriate."
"So, you were called here because my brother really wanted to repay your kindness. Please just state what you want. Let's just say this is how we thank you, Miss," Ben explained.
"I will pay with my body and you will be my wife." Joe's words just now seemed to stop Viona's heartbeat instantly.
'What the f***?! Who do you think you are, man!' Viona cursed immediately, of course only in her heart. The woman coughed—choking on her own saliva.
"Did I hear correctly?" Coughing, Viona turned to Ben, "Boss, can you translate for me?" It was as if Ben was a machine translating his brother's body language.
Ben, who was Viona's hope of being able to explain the meaning of this strange person in front of her, instead joined in.
"Joe, can you just use human language when you speak? What do you mean just now? Never mind her, I'm confused about what you mean." Ben had lost his mind when facing his older sibling.
"This is a thousand apologies, OK? What do you mean, because I helped my little one, you want to marry me, right?" Viona, who could no longer contain her annoyance, clarified Joe's meaning.
However, the troublemaker answered casually, "Yes, you can think of it like that. Be a Mom to my child or I will raze your flower shop to the ground."
A super rich man, a handsome widower with one child whose life is rarely exposed to the media, who is famous for his cold demeanor, which can scare anyone who meets him. Now, it's easy to say something very serious for someone's life.
"What does this have to do with my flower shop? If you say something, that makes sense, please!" Viona protested. Her language also started to become less relaxed towards Joe, "Wasn't it me who hit the edge of the table and fainted? But why is it you who is drunk now, ha?"
"I think my brain has also shifted to the fact that my brother is stressed," Ben responded to Viona's chatter.
Joe, who was watching the two ridiculous people in front of him, also pursed his lips. Adds beauty to a perfectly sculpted facial expression.
'Oh my, what the hell? Looks like the problem really likes asking me out on dates...' she complained to herself.
If that sentence had come from someone else's mouth, it might not have had the slightest impact and would have only been considered a cheap joke by Viona. But here he is, a Joe Clayton. His words that he just wanted to make Viona his wife sounded horrifying.
Joe Clayton, the richest adult man in the country with an unsanctioned marriage scandal that made his son an illegitimate child, ops!
'Illegitimate child? That's right, doesn't he have children without a wife? And the rumor is that no one knows who Sammy's mother is, right? But Sammy told me that at that time he wanted to visit his mother's grave, right?'
Viona's mind wandered all over the place and then she had an idea to reply to this crazy man's nonsense. Viona adjusted her sitting position to be calmer.
"I'm sorry if this is a bit sensitive to ask. But why do you want me to be your wife? Meanwhile, no one knows about Sammy's mother, right? Rumors are circulating that you have never been seen with any woman. Or could it be that... you... are gay?" said Viona carelessly.
"Hahaha!" Ben laughed so hard he bent over holding a stomach ache. Joe's facial expression turned fierce, making the entire room gloomy.
Ben, who accidentally turned to face his brother, immediately pulled the brakes to stop laughing. "Ahem. Miss, please don't talk carelessly. That's called lowering my brother's self-esteem. What's the story about the Clayton Family's eldest son being gay? Do you know or have you ever seen that my brother is gay?"
Ben had difficulty holding back his laughter when he defended his brother, "If my brother was gay, why would he propose to you to be his wife?" he continued again.
"How do I know. But it could be, right, the story is similar to novels that can be read for free on cell phones these days. There are many stories about gay couples who cover up their gayness by getting married. So, the woman is just diverting public attention." Viona didn't feel guilty.
Ben laughed again until he coughed, "Sorry, Bro. I can't help you this time. This woman is too brave." he said while laughing. He also patted Joe's shoulder repeatedly because he was so amused.
"Can you go out first?" said Joe coldly, glancing at Viona with his sharp gaze.
Ben immediately choked on his own saliva when he saw his older brother standing up, "Joe, what do you want? Don't let yourself go like this!" Ben asked worriedly when he saw his brother's expression as if he was about to eat Viona.
While unbuttoning the shirt on his wrist, Joe grinned right in front of Viona's face, "I'm not being careless. I just want to show this smart lady my sexual orientation. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Viona immediately widened her eyes, and her mind immediately turned to avoid Joe, Viona nimbly moved to the side and immediately stood behind Ben, as if asking for help.
"Wrong! What you did was wrong, sir!" Viona scolded Joe from behind Ben who was showing a completely wrong expression, "Twice. You did the wrong thing to me Twice, huh. Yesterday you insulted me, and now you want to make fun of me. What do you mean, ha?"
"Don't think that because you are rich, you can do whatever you want. I helped your child very sincerely and everything was even. Even, sir! You're really pretending to want to make me your wife. Do you think I'm really easy to fool?"
"Besides, if my guess about you being gay is wrong, that's fine, just forgive me. It's very complicated to live when you're rich!" Viona was bolder and mocked Joe.
"Wow, sis. Uh, Miss. Stop making my brother even crazier. "Later, it won't just be you who will be in trouble, it will be me too!" Ben gave a warning, trying to get Viona to be quiet and stop hiding behind him.
"Ben, move aside."
"Don't, Boss!"
Joe and Viona both insisted on managing Ben.
"Oh my gosh, that's enough. What is this interview called?" said Ben feeling troubled.
"Well, that's right. What are you trying to do with an interview? This is called a trap for me." said Viona again, this time even crossing her chest, "I'm tired. Stop playing around!" One of her hands was directed at Joe, who was now taking turns putting both hands in his trouser pockets while looking at Viona sharply.
With careful steps, Viona slowly reached for her small bag on the table nearby, "Sorry everyone, I think I'm just wasting time here. I have to go," she said, walking very quickly.
"Have I given you permission to leave?" Joe's voice sounded harsh. Ben and Viona were shocked.
'You're dead, Viona. That crazy guy is really angry.' said Viona to herself, then turned her gaze to Ben with a pitiful face, as if indicating, 'Help me, little boss. Please keep me away from your brother's fool!' from the movement of her lips.
"Joe, that's enough. How can you let go like this, huh?" Ben took courage, approached Joe, and held his brother's chest, "You're aware, bro."
Instead of answering, Joe unexpectedly took out his cell phone and pointed the flat object at Viona. "Please make a short video for my child. He's angry because I made you run away and haven't had time to talk to him. Please don't make me a bad father in my child's eyes."
"Only that?"
Joe nodded, "That's all."
'I think I'm going to be raped here, haha!' Viona was even horrified to imagine something wrong about Joe, but in fact, it was wrong. Joe's behavior was too ambiguous to misinterpret the handsome widower's intentions.
Viona took Joe's cell phone and immediately made a short video greeting Sammy. After that, she excused herself and left quickly when Joe's attention was focused on his younger brother. The beautiful woman got the chance to run away from there, leaving the two absurdly rich brothers there.
