A graceful and friendly attitude is the property of all residents in any country. Depends on the personality that shapes the way a person reacts. Of course, external factors also greatly influence this.
Eli concludes that the blonde girl is a type of woman who is gentle and of course kind.
"She's so nice. I'm like the third person to destroy their love story."
Even in her heart Eli was blaming herself. A person's stature affected the woman.
Eli quickly shook her head, brushing her thoughts away.
"No, she cheated on him, that's why their relationship ended. She's not as good as he looks."
Eli secretly looked at Yorris while greeting guests. Eli is not in a good mood.
"If my rival is friendly, beautiful, and perfect like this, like it or not I have to glow up. Find someone who wants to help me defend myself," said Eli still in her heart. Various plans, step by step master the brain and shape the way to defend himself and her position.
"Damn you."
Yorris' words brought Eli to her senses. Even though it wasn't loud, Eli could still hear it. While chuckling, Eli looked straight at Yorris. For some reason, tears seemed to reminisce in her eyes cause of Yorris' angry look at her. Plus the man's sarcastic remarks were said explicitly.
Yorris swearing at his wife!
Eli desperately mustered her heart and courage against Yorris. One thing is for sure, Eli doesn't want a sad ending to Yorris' love story which turns away from the contract plan they agreed on.
"Forgive me." There was no other choice because they still had to greet the guests, Eli relented and apologized.
Giving in is sometimes necessary. When the time is right, Eli will strike back.
"Wow, these two brides are so sweet. Congratulations on your marriage. May it last, have children quickly, live in prosperity and happiness."
"Thank you."
Eli had to thank the circumstances. At least the presence of guests is enough to distract. It is true what Eli said, not long ago guests arrived to congratulate as well as pray for blessing.
Marriage is filled with joy and happiness. But behind all that, some people don't like it. First Yorris and the second is an ex-lover.
To Yorris, Eli was a shameless woman. How dare that woman to infuriate Yorris. The reason is guests. Even though it was true, Yorris didn't want to. He was furious.

"Woah… you have a nice room. A mix of artistic and dark elements. I like it," said Eli. Her eyes were constantly looking around the room. Look at the items one by one.
For the size of a heartless man, Yorris is very concerned about room design and cleanliness at the same time. The man is very good at arranging things so that it is comfortable to see.
Eli is comfortable with room decoration.
"Stop talking. Your room is over there."
Eli looked around the room following Yorris's index finger. Eli's eyes met the field to a room door. Eli's focus turned completely to the door. Beauty is the right thing to describe the state of the house. Eli was so comfortable that she continued to stare in awe.
Without hesitation, Eli opened the door to the room. She couldn't wait to see her room.
"Wow, you prepared this for me? Thank you."
Eli saw the items one by one, not a single gap escaped her view. A smile always graced her face.
"I don't want to risk Mom suddenly being here and you're not around," Yorris spoke. The man's warm breath was felt on Eli's neck, so the woman could tell that Yorris was very close to her.
Eli froze, she didn't even realize how long the man had been behind her. Eli was so sure, that Yorris lowered his head as he spoke. Their height is not balanced. Yorris was as tall as a pillar soaring into the sky.
If measured, Eli is only limited to the man's shoulder.
"I think your plan also has a lot of loopholes, you know. I suspect your mommy is not someone who is easily fooled. I must admit your plan to turn the changing room into a bedroom is better."
"Calm down, tonight I'm going to tell Mom that our marriage was just a sham."
Eli's body stiffened, and Yorris grabbed her shoulder. For a moment Eli froze, besides that she was tense. Eli's brain suddenly crumpled like a shirt that hadn't been ironed for weeks. The sensation when Yorris grabbed her shoulder was like being electrocuted.
"Mom always understands my situation."
"So I'm just a temporary stepping stone?"
"Exactly," said Yorris carelessly.
Was surprised, but in the end, Eli still smiled faintly. Yorris's plan was insane, but Eli had to admit it was slick. "This is what it feels like to be trapped in the world of the novel I wrote," said Eli in her heart. As she thought, the woman smiled faintly. Fake smile.
"Hah... Okay, it's up to you. Do whatever is good for you. I'll follow your path."
Then Eli smiled broadly. As a person who earns money for her work, Eli must follow the boss's way of playing. Eli's strict rules and discipline had often been experienced throughout her life. Experience as a writer, Eli knows that she is a subordinate who must obey the rules even when the rules suddenly change. As long as the initial agreement money and criteria there is no element of fraud or sneaky play. Eli happily followed.
"Go to sleep, I know you're tired."
"Okay, thanks."
Elisabeth turned around, she saw Yorris walk away. Eli unconsciously grabbed her shoulder, as if something was missing when Yorris left. Eli could still feel Yorris' warm breath on the back of her neck. The man's hand tapped her shoulder.
"Good woman?"
Eli thought of Yorris's ex-girlfriend. If Eli thought back, it was highly unlikely that the man would lose his brain just because of an apology. According to Eli's observations, Yorris wasn't the type of person who would fall into the same hole.
"If that woman is really sincere, why would she cheat?"
