Do you need to spoil all these wonderful moments with just one word?

Would like to say those words without thinking, if only Cleo did not immediately realize the current situation.

Yes.

Cleo knew well how Harry made and formed this marriage.

This was indeed a contract marriage that she and Harry had agreed to together about a month ago.

But should that man destroy all wild and beautiful imaginations about his future marriage, so easily?

Even if this was not his wish, and of course this was not entirely Cleo's wish because she certainly would never have done it if not forcibly.

Harry clearly must not destroy all this sacred momentum with only a few words that sounded like an insinuation or ridicule to her!

Because of that, Cleo tried to shift her gaze forward and refused to look at Harry's face any longer.

She felt that her partner did not need to be that sarcastic just to lower the spirit that had brightly shone in Cleo's eyes, which she deliberately showed to give the impression to everyone that the marriage was indeed a real marriage.

'Shouldn't I properly carry out my role?'

But what did he just do? Telling her not to wish that this marriage was her real marriage??

Hahaha!! Wonderful!!

What a man without heart and feelings!

No wonder, he needed a woman who could be paid to be his contract wife. And damn it was her. Cleo Alayster.

A hired girl who foolishly wanted to be his contract wife to pay off her family's debts.

If it weren't for the amount of money that Harry offered for her. And because there were annoying creditors who chased her, Cleo would never have possibly agreed to this crazy agreement.

Wouldn't want to deal with this man without a conscience even if he had a very handsome face.

'Handsome but annoying? What for?!'

With a nonchalant attitude, Cleo ignored Harry's words that intentionally offended her. And deliberately tightening her grip on Harry's arm. Then, walked forward with a forced smile.

It all started one month ago when Cleo overheard Harry was looking for a contract wife for two years. At the time, Harry was not making an announcement.

Cleo just accidentally overheard his conversation with Reihan, his friend, and Cleo's boss.

They are discussing Harry's problem who continues to be forced to get married by his family even though he doesn't want to do it.

Although it was not clear what the reason was, what was certain at this time, Harry needed a solution to solve his problem.

And because at that time they were chatting together in the middle of Reihan's bar, which of course at that time Cleo was working there.

There were great chances that Cleo could overhear their conversation when she was at one of the tables near them.

At first, Cleo did not intend to hear their conversation or anything because her mind was very chaotic at that time. And she was not in a good mood either.

But as soon as she heard someone said that he would pay no matter how much money to the girl who could become his contract wife.

Without thinking, Cleo immediately rushed to their table's side and volunteered.

"Me!! I will do it. If you can afford to pay me dearly, then I will do whatever you ask. I'm also willing to be your wife," Cleo quickly and spontaneously exclaimed without thinking.

Cleo knew that she was crazy. How could she easily volunteer when she heard about money.

Yes, for now. Money was everything to her.

Because of that, regardless of the look of disbelief and surprise that the two men in front of her threw, she immediately said again.

"Sorry for interrupted. But I actually overheard you talking. And I heard that you needed a contract woman to marry you. If you don't mind, I think I can help you."

Cleo didn't know which crazy demon was possessing her at that time.

But she would bet, it was the craziest thing she'd ever done.

And of course Reihan, Cleo's boss, just lightly patted Cleo's head as a warning sign.

"Hey!! Can you be polite to a guest? Who allowed you to overhear our conversation? Go back to work and don't screw up!!" Reihan menacingly exclaimed.

"Boss, don't prevent me from making lots of money. I clearly heard what your friend said earlier, he needed an expert who would dearly pay for it. That's why in this age of globalization and metropolises, shouldn't he allow me to submit my humble CV?" Cleo looked at her boss with a pitiful look.

She didn't forget to sulk.

It was the expression she put on to demand some attention.

because she knew his boss was not truly scolding her.

So, because of that. With confidence, Cleo just ignored her boss's threat, and expectantly she looked back at the man beside her boss.
