De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Fatiguing

"Good morning, guys," Jessie said to Rachel and Argus who were waiting at the dinner table.

"Morning to my daughter." Rachel hugged Jessie.

"Ck!" Xavier clucked at the interaction of the two, especially his mother who he thought was excessive.

"Morning too, Honey," Argus replied.

"How was last night? What's fun?"

"Why ask that, Mom. Like there's no other topic!" ketus Xavier, making Rachel furious.

"You see, Honey. He was always rude to me. That's why I'm glad you're here" Rachel said, pretending to be sad for Jessie.

"Xavier! Shut your mouth!" Jessie was just pretending to be angry, but her face was real. Argus just smiled.

"You two are the same!" his hardness indifferently began to scoop one by one dish.

Seeing that Rachel codes Jessie and is instantly understood by the woman. Jessie unceremoniously snatched Xavier's plate.

"You—"

"Let me serve you, my Husband." Smile as sweetly as possible.

Xavier rolled his eyes lazily while watching Jessie deftly fill his plate. Does this woman really think this marriage is real?

"This is your wedding gift from us by the way." Argus took out two sheets of paper for them after breakfast was over.

Xavier and Jessie accept with shrunken eyebrows.

"What's this?" ask Xavier astonished.

"Ticket."

"I know, but for what?"

"Basic stupid! Of course your honeymoon."

"What?!" Xavier's surprised. Jessie did not show the same reaction. He looked at the little paper while thinking.

"It won't be useful now. Just save it, Mom, Dad." Jessie returns casually. Xavier was a little flabbergasted. What if their pretend relationship is revealed.

"What are you talking about?" The man takes the ticket back, but Jessie takes it back.

"I'm coming by the moon, my husband. Please be patient." Jessie smiled, but to Xavier was ridiculing.

"It turns out so." Rachel nodded in understanding.

"Dearly enough. Right Xavier, you have to be patient."

"Who wants to do it!" her hardness

"I mean— of course. There's no way I

force it," larat Xavier is nervous. Jessie held back a smile.

"I'm going to the office. No one knows our marriage" he said quickly as he left the dinner table.

"Good plan, Mom, Dad." Jessie quipped the two people nearby.

"And good reason, Jessie," replied the two.

Of course both his parents knew Xavier's plans. Jessie asks the two of them to pretend they don't know what happened to them. Act natural.

Jessie took a sip of her drink before speaking again. "There is no love between us. You can't expect anything right now."

"That's why we gave you this ticket."

"Although nothing will happen. Besides, I'm sure she hasn't broken up with her boyfriend."

"What?!" Argus' voice rose, "that boy!"

"Just calm down, Dad. Even if it doesn't work to make her love me, at least I'll make her know what her lover is like."

"I'm going to the office too. I have a lot to do after marriage" she continued.

"Yes right. You still have to take care of those letters."

"You work on your wedding day. That's right!" valerie was astonished.

"Nobody knows I'm married anyway." Jessie doesn't care.

"Totally so."

"Give me those troublesome files. Lawrence will handle it" she asked Valeria.

"By the way about Lawrence. We just kicked out his uncle a few months ago and today he's coming again." Valeria puts on a forced smile at the flat-faced Jessie.

"Where is he?"

"In your room, Manager Jess." Stretch one of his hands as an indicator.

Jessie took a deep breath. "Tiring day." She moved her legs to follow Valerie.
