Make a Deal (1)
Valerie’s smile lifted high when she opened the door of the apartment unit, she found Samuel’s figure already standing there. Without further words, Valerie immediately reached out, grabbed his ex-girlfriend’s arm, then pulled him to be brought inside immediately.
An hour before, there was no wind, rain, let alone a storm. Samuel suddenly called Valerie by phone. The man expressed his intention to ask for a meeting under the pretext of wanting to have an important talk. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, of course Valerie immediately agreed to the request without needing to think much more.
“We need to talk, Valerie.”
Valerie sucked in a grin. He was sure, there must be another purpose until Samuel was willing to contact him first like now. “Jeez, Samuel. Is it really you who’s calling me? What’s the wind?”
Samuel sounded clucked. Not wanting to waste too much time, the man spoke again, “No small talk. I want to meet you. We have something to talk about right away.”
“About what? Don’t you want to see me again?”
“Yes, now I want to meet you.”
Laughter could be heard drifting from Valerie’s lips. According to Samuel’s request, he hastily answered his ex-girlfriend’s words. “Sure. Very good, in fact. But I want you to come alone.”
“No problem,” said Samuel. “I will come alone.”
“But let’s just talk in my apartment.”
“Why does it have to be in the apartment? We can just meet up at a normal cafe.”
“I don’t want to go to the cafe. If you really want to meet me, please come to the apartment. The address is still the same as before. But if you mind, just forget about your plans.”
For a moment there was not the slightest reply. Just about to be reprimanded, the man on the other side immediately cleared his throat softly, then didn’t take long to speak again. “Okay, I’ll be there in an hour.”
Now? The slanted man was already in Valerie’s apartment. Even sitting comfortably on the sofa in the television room. Ah, I mean forced comfortable. Because from his face, clearly visible reluctance there.
“What do you want to drink?” offered Valerie with a coquettish face. The woman walked towards the mini bar, intending to get Samuel a glass of drink. The intention of the heart is to be together first to enjoy togetherness before talking privately.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“No need. I’m here to have an important chat, not want to drink,” said the man coldly.
Valerie smiled again. Dressed in sexy clothes that looked even less material, the woman had two glasses of wine in her hand. Approached, then sat down right next to Samuel while putting down the glass he was carrying.
“So, what do you want to chat about?” asked Valerie with a smile. The woman’s hands look mischievous. Tried once to reach Samuel’s chest, intending to rub it.
“Isn’t that right? Just speak normally. Don’t caress everything? I’m not a cat, Valerie.”
Samuel then brushed aside Valerie’s wrist which was trying to touch her chest once. Reversing his sitting position, the man deliberately kept his distance so as not to get too close.
“You sell really expensive. In the past, when you were with me, didn’t you like me to hug or kiss you?”
“That was it,” Samuel said quickly. “When we were together. Now I have a wife that I have to take care of her feelings.”
Valerie smiled slyly. With the intention of wanting to remember the old days when dating, the man instead discussed other women which ultimately annoyed him.
“Samuel, I ask you, please answer honestly. If at that time you asked to go home and I immediately complied, would I be your wife now?”
Samuel nodded immediately.
“Of course. In fact, you might even be happier than you are now. You don’t need to be tired from work. You don’t need to go around for fashion shows. What you want, I will give you right away,” said the man with a smile. “But, honey. You’re the one who missed that golden opportunity, right?”
Valerie felt like swearing loudly. What Samuel said was 100% true. If his main goal in this world was to make a lot of money, then he should have just accepted Samuel’s invitation to marry.
What doesn’t Samuel have in this world? The man was handsome, well-established, caring, and even what Valerie asked for, he always complied with. Could he regret now that he had lost his gold mine?
“Can’t we go back to the way we used to be?” muttered Valerie. Her eyes looked so pleading. “I’m sure you don’t really love the woman you have made your wife. If you need time to divorce her, I have no problem being told to wait.”
Samuel laughed. The man was tickled by the naive babbling that Valerie had said just now. If you want to be together, why not from the beginning? In fact, countless Samuel begged Valerie to agree to marry her immediately.
“It’s too late, Vio. You’ve missed the train too far.”
“But, you still love me right?”
“Love?” Samuel repeated. Then after a while the man laughed. “My love has run out since you rejected me for the last time.”
Valerie let out a long sigh. It seems that there is no longer any hope for him to return to knitting hope with Samuel.
“Okay, talk about his past? If so, I have an important talk with you,” Samuel said after discussing things that he felt were not important with Valerie at length.
“Okay, hurry up. What do you want to say?”
Samuel then reached for her cell phone from the back pocket of the pants she was wearing. Then showed something to Valerie, for the woman to see.
“Yesterday, when you came to my room, you were taking photos of the files that were on the table and your activities were clearly recorded on CCTV. In fact, after you left, the files that you took were missing from my table —-”
“Are you accusing me of taking your things? Or maybe you also want to accuse me of being the cause of the current uproar?”
Samuel chuckled. He pulled back his cellphone, then put the smart object back into his pocket while saying, “I didn’t say or accuse you like that, Valerie. Why did you suddenly assume things like that?”
Valerie bit her lower lip tightly. It was so stupid because he had been provoked by Samuel’s words and almost let slip.
“The problem is, what you’re discussing now is headed in that direction, Samuel,” said Valerie.
“Actually, I’m just curious, why when you leave my room, important files on my desk can disappear. What a coincidence, the CCTV footage covering the incident when you were in my room also seems to have deliberately cut or sabotaged. sense again, right the next day, there was a commotion whose discussion matched what you photographed.”
“Yes, who knows, it’s just a coincidence. Even though it’s proven that I took a photo of your files, it’s not certain that I was the one who spread the news.”
“But it doesn’t rule out the person who spread the news is working with you, right?”
Samuel continues to bombard her with a lot of presumptions. Of course, this makes it difficult for Valerie to prepare the right answer so she won’t be wrong or provoked into telling the truth.
“You can’t just accuse me, Samuel.”
“I’m not accusing. But speaking of facts. Even if you are working with someone who wants to destroy me, it’s better to just cancel the plan. Because if I find out who is the mastermind behind it, then I will destroy you all until nothing is left.”
Samuel then got up. Feeling that he had enough pleasantries with Valerie, he then chose to leave the apartment immediately. Leaving Valerie just like that without needing to say goodbye again.
