On the way home Lucas looked very different. Selena didn't know why Lucas didn't speak at all on the way home.
"I'll drive you all the way here," Lucas said through the car window.
"Don't you want to say hello to your brother?" asked Selena.
"No need, I also have to go back to the apartment soon. I'm tired," said Cristian with a flat face.
"If you're sleepy, you might as well sleep in this house," Selena suggested.
"No need, I'll be fine. When I get to the apartment I'll go to bed," said the sweet man with black skin. Lucas smiled at Selena and looked towards the gate.
"Okay then I'll go in. You take care Lucas," Selena patted Lucas on the back familiarly.
"Alright, see you," Lucas said as he immediately activated his car and drove off quickly.
Now Selena quickly entered the gate. Fortunately, the gate was not locked.
Selena's hand opened the door with or movement. But unfortunately the door wouldn't open. Apparently chirstian had locked it.
"Oh my God, what do I do?" asked Selena, stomping one of her feet in annoyance.
Selena tried to enter a number in a small box.
"I've entered the password for this door with Christian's cell phone number. But it won't open either," said Selena lazily.
"I really don't understand the password to the door of this house," Selena scratched her head distractedly.
Now suddenly the door opened. Cristian's mysterious face looked at Selena seriously.
"Christian, I'm sorry," Selena said softly. Because she was afraid of Christian's sharp gaze.
"Were you really sent by Lucas? Geez you two seem to be very close," Christian said, folding his arms across his chest.
"How did you know? You were peeping earlier?" asked Selena with a smile.
"Answer me honestly. What did Lucas tell you? You two must have talked a lot in the car or over ice cream," said Christian confidently.
"How did you know Christian and I were eating ice cream? You were following me?" Selena widened her eyes boldly.
"Why would I follow you. I know you two eat ice cream together. Because I know that since he was little, Lucas has loved ice cream. In fact, almost every day he eats ice cream,"
"I see," Selena nodded in understanding.
"Lucas and I were just talking about nothing important. Yes, he asked me if I knew I was in the park. I pretended. I answered that I was fighting with you about a friend's wedding," Selena explained.
"So you two are now so close? Geez, I really warned you not to get too close to Lucas. Because Lucas is not a good friend. I mean he really likes to play gambling until he gets drunk and then also squander money for his own pleasure," said chirstian confidently.
But Selena was just silent. Somehow Selena didn't believe what Christian said. It was very strange. For Selena Lucas was a pleasant man.
"I see," said Selena nodding.
"I'm busy for our wedding. I've been calling important people. I was so busy my mind almost broke. While you were eating ice cream with Lucas. Now you feel victorious, huh?" asked Christian angrily.
"Please, Christian, don't ask me to make a fuss again. I already apologized to you. You should also apologize for slapping me. It really hurt me," Selena said clearly.
"I apologize," said Christian, extending his hand. Now the two of them shook hands firmly.
"I'm actually very sad that the fish died," Christian said with a flat face.
"Well, I'll buy it for you then. How much is it?"
Chirstian laughed at Selena's question.
"Never mind, forget it. That fish is very expensive. It can even buy a house. So forget it," Christian said casually.
"I'm going to my room. I'm tired," said Christian, scratching his head.
"Well I'm going to bed now too, bye," said Selena and now turned around and walked into her room.
The next day Selena cooked spaghetti bolognese. Because in the refrigerator there was only that which could be cooked. This time she cooked it for herself and Christian.
"Oh my gosh, this is so good," said Selena chewing the spaghetti with gusto.
"This is the first spaghetti I ever ate. I remember this spaghetti was very expensive at the mall. I couldn't even afford it at the time. Now I'm eating this with gusto. Geez, I really like this expensive food," Selena said and then went back to eating more spaghetti greedily.
"There seems to be a cooking smell," said Christian who walked over to Selena's table.
Selena smiled at Christian. Then chewed again.
"Just eat it for you," said Selena with her mouth full looking at the plate in front of Christian.
"I bought this spaghetti. But I never cooked it. Is it still worth eating? I mean did you see the packaging on that spaghetti? The expiration date is still long, right?" asked an unconvinced Christy.
That made Selena cough. She cursed in her heart harshly.
"Don't joke, Christian," said Selena, immediately standing up and opening the trash can and looking for it carefully. Now her hand was holding a plastic spaghetti package. She tried to read the expiration date of the spaghetti.
"Damn! It expires in two months," Selena said in annoyance.
"Never mind, it's okay. It's delicious anyway. I want to eat my spaghetti again," said Selena quickly sitting down and eating again.
Seeing the behavior of Selena. Christian just smiled slightly then he ate the spaghetti slowly. Christian didn't think that Selena could cook. Selena's cooking also turned out to be delicious.
"Can I go this morning? I want to visit my friend's house," Selena said with a pleading face.
"You can, but don't let anyone know our secret," Christian said firmly.
"Yes, I always keep my work a secret," Selena said casually. Even though her heart was really pounding. Because actually her two best friends already knew if she pretended to be Christian's fiancee.
Now Selena quickly left the house. She used a taxi to get to the house of her two best friends.
The girl in jeans and a knee-length coat rang the bell. Soon the door opened. Lili's face looked ordinary. While Selena immediately hugged her best friend intimately.
"I'm so sorry, I just had time to come. I was very busy. I'm sorry," said Selena then released her hug.
"Where's Sarah?" asked Selena while sitting on the gray sofa.
"Sarah? Selena's here," called the curly-haired girl loudly. Now Sarah was seen coming down the stairs.
"Hey you came!" Sarah said enthusiastically. different from Lili. Sarah the button girl was very familiar with Selena.
"Are you seriously a rich man now?" asked Sarah enthusiastically.
"So you already know everything from Lili!?" asked Selena.
"Yes, of course. That's very exciting. You must be very happy," said Sarah confidently.
"Yes, despite looking happy. But it's killing me. Pretending is very uncomfortable. Moreover, I lied to many people. Yes, I was forced to do it all because of debt repayment," Selena's lips pursed.
"It's okay. We're both always cheering you on," Sarah said with a big smile.
"Sarah!" called Lili with her arms folded across her chest.
"What's wrong? You're calling me too loudly. I'm right beside you," Sarah said with annoyance.
"Did you forget what we talked about Selena back then?" asked Lili whispering into Sarah's ear. Sarah just stayed silent with her eyes looking up.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you whispering like that?" asked Selena with a furrowed brow.
"Okay so we want to talk to you seriously," said Lili firmly. She pushed her curly hair back.
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Selena. She was feeling really bad.
"We both need money to shut up. If you don't give us both the money to shut up. We'll tell everyone that you and Christian are just pretending to be in love," explained Lili firmly.
Selena's eyes widened. She didn't think her two best friends would take advantage of her.
"How much money do you want?" asked Selena matter-of-factly.
"One hundred thousand dollars," said Lili firmly.
"Are you kidding me?"
