The Billionaire's Scandal
Pledged

Angela couldn't answer Leo's question. If Leo were not Evelyn's lover, if their relationship was as normal as the other couple's, maybe Angela would happily accept Leo's proposal. But Angela knows very well that Leo doesn't really like her yet, Leo still keeps Evelyn's name in his heart even though Leo says he likes her and is comfortable with her.

If there's no other woman's name in your heart, if it's just me you like, then I'll open my heart to you, Leo. Moreover, both of your parents were so kind to me, but unfortunately all this is just our play where I know you only like my physique and I do all this for my brother's sake. Inner Angela.

"You don't want to be my wife?" ask Leo again when angela does not answer.

"Don't talk about that when you haven't been able to convince your heart who you really want to be with. Do not think of all things as mere jokes and entertainment Leo. There are times when saying and doing things seriously," said Angela back to make Leo speechless.

"What you're talking about is worth talking about for those who are in a serious relationship, for a normal relationship like any other couple, unlike us where I'm just your mistress. The woman you made as your entertainment," said Angela again put on a sad face back to play her skit to attract Leo. 

Leo felt pierced by Angela's words. Leo felt guilty as he began to think that Angela was hoping to have a serious relationship with him. What Angela does succeeds in luring Leo into her trap, but what Angela doesn't realize is that the game traps her too.

"I've never played with you, Angela!"

"really? If not playing, then what?"

"If I let Evelyn go, if she and I split up, do you want to be my wife?" leo asked with an increasingly serious look at Angela. Leo even held Angela's hands back. 

"You don't want to spend this? Otherwise I'll bring this down!" Angela tries to divert the conversation, but Leo restrains Angela's movements.

"There's a waiter who can do all that. Answer my question first, Angela. If I let Evelyn go, do you want to marry me?" ask again.

Angela smiled wryly before replying, Angela got carried away with her own game flow. "If that happens, then I'm willing to marry you."

"alright. Promise me that our relationship could be so much better if I let Evelyn go!" leo Pinta.

"I promise" replied Angela.

"But what if Evelyn's the one you picked?" ask Angela.

Leo again fell silent, and it again made Angela not to get lost in the game she had made.

"Where are you going?" ask Leo to panic.

"Bathroom" replied Angela.

****

Evelyn is still at Leo's house, though Leo has already said she will spend the night at her parents' house. Evelyn, who was curious if there was any development from Leo's efforts to convince her parents, again tried to contact Leo.

"Dam. He ignores me too often!" Evelyn growled when Leo did not answer her phone.

Seeing that the clock was already showing at half-nine in the evening, Evelyn finally decided to go home.

Arriving at his home, the silence was truly felt. There was no sound from Alden, which meant that Alden was asleep. 

Evelyn goes into her room not to see Nick. Evelyn is curious where Nick is trying to find Nick to the man's study room right next to Alden's.

"Alden's been sleeping a long time?" he asked when he was standing next to the closet staring at Nick who was focusing on his laptop.

"Yes" replied Nick briefly.

Next to Evelyn's eyebrows raised in response to Nick's indifferent attitude towards her. Although not getting along, but Nick always asked her where from and other questions that make Evelyn always feel disturbed. However, for a few days Nick never asked her anything at all. The man did not even sleep in the same bed with him. Nick prefers to sleep in Alden's room or his study. Nick also did not discuss the contents of his message the other day that discussed Angela.

"Where is he today?" ask Eve again.

Nick takes off his glasses and stares cynically at Eve. "Since when do you care?" tanyanya cold.

"I'm just asking, if you don't want to answer yes already!" Eve chooses to go from there in an increasingly messy mood because of Nick's attitude.

"Damn!" after arriving in the room.
