Chereads / A Clown (English Version) / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Time flies so fast yesterday's event ended with Teo agreeing to the match but on one condition. Just follow the plan and nothing will happen again, Teo's main goal now is how to get back into a relationship with Val to be free from the matchmaking.

"Sorry, sir, the meeting will start soon, Mr. Jane's secretary is already waiting in the meeting room with the donor," talk to the receptionist on the phone.

"Okay please wait a minute I'll come downstairs," Theo replied.

Teo came out of his office to the meeting room, to be honest the conditions that were proposed yesterday were not the best but there was no way out again to solve it.

Mama and Aunt Fania must have insisted on matching their children even though they had refused, just look yesterday even though it was clear they didn't like each other but they were still forced.

"Good afternoon sorry I'm late," Teo said as he entered the room.

"Good afternoon nice to meet you in person," the donor said shaking Teo's hand with a smile.

"So am I, it's nice to see that there are people who still want to put their money aside for good. I hope the kindness that has been given will come back to you again," theo replied.

"Thank you ..." Said the donor.

Teo invited everyone to sit back down, while Jane started the meeting by telling her which place to choose.

"Okay, gentlemen, become a place in Stein's territory," said Jane.

"Excuse me, is there a specific reason for choosing the venue in the Stein area?" Ask the Donor assistant.

"Of course sir, besides having clean air and a beautiful environment. The Stein area is also strategic enough to go to several places and the road access is also quite easy so that it makes it easier," obviously Theo.

"What about the children's school?" The Donor Assistant asked again.

"For schools, we have collaborated with several schools in Stein, they support our activities to build a foundation there and they promise to waive tuition fees, so that children can continue their education," Theo replied.

"Will our foundation build schools, hospitals and so on in the future?" Donor assistant continued.

"For now maybe not because we have just started building but in the future we will try to build adequate facilities so that the children under our care can live properly," obviously Teo re-explained.

The meeting went smoothly, the donors were happy with the plan that was conveyed by Teo for the welfare of underprivileged children.

"Nice to work with you," say he.

"It is an honor to work with you Mr Xavir especially when it comes to welfare," Teo replied while shaking hands.

"Just call me Richard." Said Mr. Richard as he said goodbye.

His name is Richard De Xavièr, a politician who supports the small people, in every speech he always says, "Everyone has the same rights," no wonder many underprivileged people who support it.

"Benefactors like lord Richard are very rare these days," Jane said as she watched Mr Richard step out of the room.

"That's very rare," Theo replied.

"It's a good thing we got a very generous donor, even though the money he donated was not small," obviously Jane.

"Yep, that's right," Teo replied as he stepped out of the room with Jane following behind.

"So what do you want to do Teo?" Jane asked.

"Meaning?" Teo asked back because he didn't understand what Jane meant.

"Yeah, after work, what do you want to do?" Jane asked again.

"Not available," answer short Teo

"Do you want to watch it? I'm tired, I need healing," said Jane.

"No, I'm busy," Teo replied nonchalantly as he entered his room.

Drrrtttt Drrtttt

The phone vibrates.

"Unknown number, huh?" Asked Theo in his heart.

"Hello, good afternoon!" Theo picked up the phone.

"Heh, what were you doing yesterday, just agree and agree!" Someone snapped.

"Sorry, who is this with?" Ask Theo.

"This is Amel's cave, Aunt Fania's son!" He shouted.

"Oh yeah what's up little one?" Theo replied lazily.

"Hey kiddo, I'm already 23 years old!" Amel said he didn't accept it.

"Yes, What is up?" Theo replied casually.

"Why did you even agree to an arranged marriage yesterday, huh!" Amel asked while shouting.

"If you want the answer at 8 pm we'll just meet," Theo said.

"Why did I meet you? I'm so lazy!"

"Well, if you don't want to, I'll hang up the phone," said Teo lazy to serve.

"Answer my question first!"

"Which question?" Theo pretended to forget.

"The one earlier, why did you agree yesterday?" Said Amel annoyed.

"I already told you that if you want to know, just meet me so we can talk clearly," obviously Theo.

"It's just your modus operandi, just say you want to meet me."

"Give it up," said Teo really lazy to respond.

"Yeah, where are you going?" Finally Amel relented.

"I'll share lock later," Theo replied.

"Watch out if you lie I'll mark your face!" Amel threatens.

Tutttt Tutttttt, the connection was cut off.

Actually, Teo is lazy to respond to things like this, especially when dealing with unstable teenagers like Amel.

Trigg, incoming message notification sound.

"Teo do you want to have lunch together? I happen to have a photoshoot near your office," message from Val.

Which golden opportunity to return can be wasted, right?

"Can,"

"Okay, I'll wait at Marhas Cafe, okay?" Val in the message.

"Okay," Teo was cool again.

How do women feel if they are answered briefly like that confused? Annoyed? That's what men feel if your people reply like that especially if there are words.

"Up to you,"

Teo returned to focus on work but it was very difficult to try to focus, not because he was thinking about yesterday's matchmaking.

But this is about Val suddenly asking him out for lunch is this a code? What do you think ladies? Because it's really confusing.

Moreover, he said he was having a photo shoot, meaning he was active again as a photo model. Which brand is working with Val this time? Teo's face reddened at the thought of Val during the photoshoot, she must be very beautiful, she said to herself.

Gosh, Teo is focused on work, there's a lot of work piled up today, but damn it's really hard when people are busy. There was still about half an hour to rest, Teo decided to leave the office, walked towards the parking lot and went to drive his car to Marhas Cafe.

Arriving at Cafe Teo did not immediately enter but he looked around looking for someone.

Val chose this place means the shoot is also around here he thought, Teo was walking around Marhas Cafe in case he met Val who was shooting.

"Hey Teo?" Ask someone.

Teo spontaneously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"What are you doing here, isn't the break time still 20 minutes away?" Val asked in surprise because Teo had arrived sooner.

"Oh umm I had a meeting around here so be direct," Teo said. I hope my face doesn't look weird, said Teo in his heart.

"Oh I see ..." Val replied nodding.

"You're not shooting yourself anymore?" Teo asked pleasantly.

"Yeah, here's one more shot." Val replied.

Val is very beautiful today, wearing a white tanktop wrapped in a dark brown blazer set with a small plaid pattern, instantly Teo just stared at Val's beauty.

"Then I'll take a photo first in a moment, then we'll have lunch," said Val.

Theo just froze.

"Theo?" Call Val.

"Oh yeah why?" Ask Theo.

"I'm shooting first," repeat Val.

"O-oh yes yes," Teo replied.

Val walked away, Teo was just silent watching him see that the clothes he was wearing matched him very well, the color combination that matched his smooth skin instantly Teo's mind drifted somewhere, oh my, the bottom of the bed brain.
