Chapter 12 - TWELVE

"I'm not joking at all Selena, we're both serious."

  "Is that right Sarah?" asked Selena, looking at Sarah.

  "I-yeah that's exactly right," said Sarah with a nod.

  "I didn't expect you to do this to me. Why are you so mean to me?" asked Selena with an incredulous face.

  "Selena, is it fun being poor like this? Sarah and I are tired of living in poverty like this. Besides, your future husband must have a hundred thousand dollars. There's no way he wouldn't give it to you," said Lili firmly.

  "But you two shouldn't do that to me. After seven months Cristian and I will be separated. Then I will meet you and we can build a business together with my money," Selena said seriously.

  "We both don't want to. Now all we want is one hundred thousand dollars. Otherwise we will talk to everyone if you are a liar," said Lili firmly.

  "Okay okay fine, I will try to give you the money. Only one time after that you can't ask me for money anymore. You have to promise," said Selena seriously.

  Lili smiled sweetly.

  "Yes we both promise selena," said lili nodding. Sarah could only nod too.

  "Alright I'll go home immediately and transfer the money when I get home," said Selena firmly.

  Now Selena just left. She thought her best friends would welcome her kindly and serve her favorite food. But in fact, the two friends actually made Selena hurt.

  "Sometimes I hate money. Because of money. My friendship with them is broken," Selena walked with empty eyes.

  Meanwhile, Lili pranced on the bed with a heart full of happiness. She was very happy that she would soon get one hundred thousand dollars.

  "Oh my gosh, I can't wait to buy what. Because there are so many of them," said Lili with a sparkling face. Then pranced again on the mattress like a child.

  "Yeah! I'm going to be rich!" said Lili full of energy.

  "Stop! Stop lili!" Sarah looked angry.

  "What's wrong Sarah? Don't you want to see my happiness?" asked Lili who was now sitting on the side of the bed.

  "Don't you have a heart? Do you have the heart to make Selena like that? We shouldn't be extorting Selena's money," said Sarah seriously.

"What are you saying? I don't have a heart? Ahahaha so you don't want to be a rich man? If you don't want to be rich like me, you better leave this house. You just find a house there!" said Lili with an emotional face.

  Sarah could only remain silent. Although her heart was very upset with Lili's actions.

  "Are you asking for that much money? I can't, you haven't even worked with me for two months. Now you're asking for more money," Christian said with an angry face.

  "Please Christian. My grandmother needs money in the village. Please, she is sick," Selena said with a lie.

  Christian stopped for a moment from his laptop screen. He thought for a while and finally granted what Selena wanted.

  "Okay, I'll transfer it right away," Christian said.

  "Thank you very much Christian. I'll be going then," Selena said and left Christian's office.

  "It's a good thing Christian was willing to give me one hundred thousand dollars. Otherwise my life would be over," said Selena in her heart.

  "In an hour, Dad will stop by this house. So you have to be ready. You'd better get dressed up and put on some nice clothes," Crhistian said sternly.

  "In an hour? Geez can I even dress up? Oh my God, why don't you just call the hairdresser to this house," Selena said frantically.

  "Dad didn't tell me the day before at all. If he was coming to this house. So there's no way I can call the parlor staff," Christian said irritably.

  Selena held her head in confusion.

  "You are a woman. Go to your room and get dressed. You can do it!" said Christian firmly. He pushed Selena into the room. Then closed the door tightly.

  "Hey! I can't make up!" said Selena loudly in the room.

  Now she could only stare at the mirror with a frown.

  "Oh my God, how can I do makeup? I don't even know what makeup Mr. Mark likes. What if my makeup isn't good? Will Mr. Mark scold me? Geez, I'm so confused," Selena scratched her head.

  She thought for a while, and started watching videos on the internet about simple makeup. Because she thought it was perfect for being at home.

  Now she started wearing makeup while looking at tutorials on the internet. It was a little difficult for Selena. Because she is not used to wearing makeup. When she works at the bar she only wears mustard and lipstick to taste.

  Now Selena opened the door. She looked at her clothes. All these clothes had been provided by Christian. Her hands began to search for which clothes were suitable for her to wear.

  "Oh my God, these clothes are mostly too revealing for me to wear. What should I wear now?" Selena asked in confusion.

  "Okay well, I'll just wear Lucas's clothes. It looks like there's a black t-shirt with Nirvana written on it in the closet." I saw it once.

  Selena was now wearing a large black t-shirt with long jeans. While her hair was left loose. Her appearance in the mirror looks like a young Korean girl. Because her skin was white and her face was cute.

  "Well, I'm sure Mr. Mark will like my fashion. It's not a party so I'll just wear this simple outfit," Selena said confidently.

  I'd better relax and play with my cell phone while waiting for Mr. Mark to come to the house.

  After a few minutes the door knocked very noisily. Selena had apparently overslept.

  "Oh my, what about my makeup," Selena immediately woke up and looked in the mirror. She smoothed her hair a little and then also put on more lipstick. After that she opened the door quickly.

  "Daddy's here. Come quickly," Christian said, taking Selena by the hand.

  The two of them now walked into the living room. There were several people there. There was one who was holding the wedding dress. While the two people next to him were carrying two suitcases. There are also some of Mr. Mark's bodyguards.

  Now Mr. Mark saw the arrival of Christian and Selena. Mr. Mark's eyes widened at Selena's appearance.
