The Secret to My Fiance's Accident
CHAPTER 7

"Sorry madam, master is busy and can't see the madam today!" Yoshi answered with still putting on his flat face.

The pale beautiful woman commented a bitter smile.

"May my husband be cold, but his wife is in an accident like this..." Said the woman with tears in her eyes.

Yoshi. There was no pity that usually appeared in his eyes, he only showed a cold face like his master!

"What.. can you help me?!" Ask the woman again. His lips were dry, trembling as he opened his mouth.

"Yes madam?!"

"Can you look for my things that were left behind when I had an accident?!" Ask lirih.

"That's it. Mr. Cleve has already taken her madam!" Yoshi said, he then stepped his feet into a large black bag on the sofa. Some time Yoshi reached into the bag then took out a clear plastic bag filled with items.

Yoshi then handed the plastic bag to the woman.

The woman was shocked when she recognized her stuff, "T-so.. earlier you said Cleve took it?! D-he .. where did he take it?!"

"Police office, ma'am!" Sahut Yoshi is short.

Lalita's feelings turned chaotic. She did not expect that her belongings would be taken by Cleve, her husband. According to his estimation, with Cleve's cold nature like that it was most likely that Cleve would have told others to do so. But why?! Why did Cleve take it himself? Does he suspect anything?

"W-what...is there anything he said?!" Ask Lalita later.

"No, madam!" Sahut Yoshi is short.

Lalita's speechless. He was trying to digest the situation!

Three years into a married couple, but Lalita still couldn't understand Cleve's way of thinking! Even Lalita did not know what her husband liked and disliked!

Lalita and Cleve's marriage was a contract marriage. A marriage with no love in it. Error, not without love but one-sided love!

Lalita falls in love at first sight when she sees Cleve in her cousin's wedding hall.

Looking at Cleve's good looks like an ancient Roman god, who wouldn't fall in love?! Moreover, Lalita, a woman who always put forward 'goodness' in every aspect of her partner's specifications!

But unlike before, this time it was difficult for Lalita to gain the heart of a man like Cleve. Although he was openly trying to attract Cleve's attention, Cleve still ignored him.

Until finally, he tried to ask for help from his grandfather who is the former mayor to make a match with his grandfather Cleve. And managed to make a meeting for the two of them.

But on the day of the meeting, Cleve arrived late. It came an hour later than the appointed time!!

"Sorry, I'm late!" Said Cleve when he just arrived.

"Ah, it's okay." said Lalita timidly. His heart was pounding so fast that he could hear nothing.

"I'm straight away, I just want to say that I don't intend to get married. If you want a wedding, you better find someone else to be your partner!" Cleve.

Lalita's shocked. He did not expect Cleve to immediately reject him, without giving him the chance to speak in the slightest.

"Then, excuse me!" Cleve got up from his seat without waiting for a response from Lalita.

"Wait!" Lalita. He knew if not now, then there would be no next time to be able to meet Cleve. So he tried to get Cleve to hear him at all costs.

Cleve who was about to step away, turned around and looked at Lalita closely.

Seeing Cleve stop, Lalita tried to rack her brain. What did he have to say, in order for Cleve to be interested and stay?!

Suddenly a romantic novel that he liked flashed through his mind. Then he said the words that his female lead had said to the male lead!

"I think you feel the same way!" Lalita.

Cleve frowning. "You mean?!"

"I'm so tired of coming to a matchmaking event like this!" Lalita said, "Aren't you bored?!"

Cleve was silent for a moment, staring at Lalita meticulously looking for the woman's hidden intent.

"I don't intend to have a happy marriage like people in general. I just want marriage on paper, just as a status for me to stop following matchmaking like this! I don't need love or attention, this is just going to be part of the deal!"

When Cleve heard it, he then sat back in his chair and listened carefully to Lalita's explanation.

Lalita was very happy. He felt that his life would end like the lead in the contract marriage novel, falling in love with each other!

Lalita was sure it would come to her sooner or later. He's really very happy.

But it didn't take long, until Lalita realized that novels and reality were two very different things.

After marriage, not even Cleve appeared in front of Lalita. He never even asked if Lalita was alive or not. Cleve actually considered their relationship only on paper, as their agreement was.

Even as Lalita tried to attract Cleve's attention by continuing to give her attention and affection, Cleve still ignored her like space dust!

Cleve really did not give her the love or attention she was in agreement with!

*****

Nawang stared in amazement at the magnificent building that was in front of him. He was always surprised to see the luxurious building.

He had previously set foot into the building as a fresh graduate applying for a job. But now he comes as a guest of Cleve Eddison, the head of the company.

After returning Sagara's belongings, Nawang remembered 1 item he also brought along. It was a black smartphone from a year ago that most likely belonged to the wife of CEO Cleve.

He intends to return him to the police station, but his great curiosity in Sagara and Lalita's relationship makes Nawang desperate to contact Cleve himself.

"Please enter!" A man who had introduced himself as Cleve's assistant asked him to enter a room.

Nawang entered into a luxurious room that looked more like a five-star hotel than an office.

Nawang's eyes were instantly fixed on the majestic table in the middle of the room. Near the modern table with a minimalist design, a man sitting arrogantly staring at Nawang sharp.

Instantly, as before, all of his fur was goosebumps.

But when Nawang put one more leg into the room, Cleve got up from his seat.

"Good day! Please sit!" Said Cleve stiffly. Cleve then directed Nawang to sit on the sofa arranged in front of him. Cleve himself turned to sit on the sofa opposite Nawang.

The nervous feeling when he was in the interview came back to hit him. As if he was a job applicant who was dealing with HRD, Nawang broke out in cold sweat.

Although he kept repeating in his mind, that he came as a guest not as a job applicant. But Nawang's mind did not want to cooperate.

"Can I help you?!" Ask Cleve later.

"S-i...." Nawang who was about to speak was instantly speechless. He felt like a computer that suddenly went blank, he didn't know what to say. It felt like his mind was empty without contents.

Beyond estimation, Cleve whom he thought would be irritated saw his behavior. Waiting for him to speak patiently.

Even when an OB came in and brought him tea to serve him, Cleve offered Nawang to drink first.

Miraculously, after he sipped the tea his mind returned clear.

"I think it belongs to your wife..." Nawang said later. While handing over the black smartphone that he brought from the police station at that time.

"I think you're misunderstanding." said Cleve, "It doesn't belong to my wife!"

Nawang frowned, "No way, this does not belong to Sagara. Who's it then?!"

Nawang confusion. This doesn't belong to Sagara nor does it belong to Lalita. Who is this then?!

Cleve was silent, he scrutinized the girl in front of him closely. Looking from her face, the girl was confused. And was thinking out loud, as if all the burdens in the world were being thought out.

At the police station and in this place, he looks the same. It does not look in top condition. It is very different from when he came to apply for a job a few years ago, which is full of passion and confidence.

Aye! Cleve still remembered it. Cleve was one of the people who had a rare disease. Hyperthymesian.

Because of this, Cleve can remember in detail what he saw, heard, and felt throughout his life.

So Cleve instantly remembered the girl in front of him the moment he saw her.

"Then... Whose is this?!" Nawang muttered to himself, he did it unconsciously."Do I have to return it to the police station?!"

Cleve, who heard Nawang's words, got up from his seat and approached his desk. He then pulled one of his desk drawers and took something.

Nawang had not seen it clearly before, as Cleve grasped it. But when he put it in front of Nawang, Nawang was surprised by him.
