Chapter 195 - 195 ( Forgive On One Condition)

"Yes. I'm still so mad at you and hate you! Wanting you to suffer first, before I take advantage of you."

Harry lowered his head and sank deeper into his sorrow.

"But I will forgive you for this time,"

Harry's eyes shone. He liked this sentence and he wanted to hear the continuation.

Cleo stared intently at Harry's face that has like the abandoned puppy. Couldn't bear to see Harry looking down so sadly and hoping that they would make up.

"But, of course, on one condition,"

Harry continued to stare with renewed trepidation.

"Condition? What's that? And I hope it's not something I can't do or complicated."

This is crazy! He had never been this nervous in his life. Even when taking any exams on campus! And even while do waiting for the final decision on the results tender!

Cleo's simple statement shattered the entire tense atmosphere around him.

"I want us to keep our distance."

Harry's feelings grew increasingly uncertain.

"Give me some comfort and less of your bossy attitude!"

Harry protested.

"Hey, aren't those two conditions and not just one?"

Cleo pretended to be right.

"Yes. And consider one of them as a bonus."

Harry laughed stiffly.

"That's difficult. First I can't possibly keep my distance from my wife. But I'm willing to give you whatever comfort you want. Then, regarding my commanding attitude," Harry looked doubtful. That seems to be ingrained. And so hard to get rid of.

"I'm still going to give it a try."

Cleo looked at Harry flatly.

"Just trying and not trying hard?"

Harry began to wonder.

"Are you playing with me now? Meant to revenge and this is your way?"

Cleo gave a faint smile.

"Yes. If it can at least irritate you and look weak."

Cleo then stood up. Check the time and make new decisions.

"I have to go. We assume this problem is over and we don't have to bring it up again."

Harry stood up too.

"Where are you going? And what are you going to do so early when I thought you weren't going anywhere?"

It was already 8'oclock in the morning. But Cleo already wanted to get ready to do her activities outside. Harry started guessing.

"You have morning class?"

Cleo nodded nonchalantly.

"Yes. So step aside and don't get in my way. And then, if you want to assign your bodyguards to look after me! Do it with just one person and not an army!"

Harry made a new decision.

"Then, I will be your bodyguard today."

Cleo was taken aback.

"Hem?? You're serious?"

"Yeah. And highly."

Cleo held back a feeling of irritation.

"You are not busy? Don't have an important meeting and want to do other urgent business at your office or somewhere else?"

Harry shook his head firmly.

"There is not any."

Cleo sighed. Rolling her eyes and walking to her room to get ready. Harry did the same. He went into his bedroom and changed his clothes after he was all feeling much better.

Cleo faintly heard Dirga's protest when the two of them were on their way to the course.

"You want to take some more time off?"

Dirga asked in a high tone. Allowing Cleo to hear his anger clearly.

"You should finish all the work you have piled up because you keep taking time home early and skipping a few times. I'm tired of constantly rearranging your messy daily schedule. Sir, you mean to make me depressed?"

Harry hung up the phone casually. Ignoring the protests and not giving more opportunity for Cleo to hear complaints from Dirga.

Cleo looked at Harry with interest.

"You should be doing your job, Mr. Harry. See! Your secretary is just so overburdened."

Harry didn't answer.

Just stared to the side and not wanting to think much of it when he started to decide to hire someone new to do most of his work.

The neighbors' whispers bothered Cleo. Made her feel less comfortable and didn't stop glancing at them with her sharp ears.

"Who's he? Why is he so handsome?"

Em, looks like someone has caught his interest.

"Did he take any of the courses here? Or is he one of the teachers?"

Curious people increased.

"If he is one of the teachers, I am willing to join his class. So, please, say something about who that mysterious handsome man is and what the hell is he standing there so majestic!!"

Cleo kept her distance repeatedly as she walked with Harry into the hall where her course was. Not wanting to attract a lot of attention and entering the radius of observation of many pairs of curious eyes on the figure of Harry, the main thief of attention.

Harry instead entered Cleo's class with confidence. In the beginning, it was just to deliver. But the important reference to Harry as Cleo's bodyguard today, Cleo had almost completely forgotten due to circumstances.

Cleo looked straight at Harry after turning around.

"Do you mean to go to class and learn how to make bread or cakes?"

Harry folded his arms across his chest.

Looks very dazzling with his body gestures that are too relaxed and high charismatic.

All the pairs of eyes that were in the same room with them, were already staring with interest without blinking. Stealing glances at Harry and not stopping in awe.

"No. But I might see how you train."

Ethan entered his classroom not long after all the students had gathered. Ethan catches someone who should be a stranger in his class.

"Harry Miles. What are you doing here? And I've never seen your name on the student list."

Cleo pushed Harry to answer immediately. Or at least leave right now from their class. Because she didn't want them to be in the spotlight of all her tutoring friends.

"I accompanied my wife and want to take care of her."

Disappointed complaints resounded everywhere.

"He already has a wife and it turns out to be very disappointing!"

"Geez. No wonder that he keeps clinging to his woman!"

"This is bad! Because it turns out that the limited edition men's stock is running low and maybe it's out of stock!"

Cleo was wide-eyed when she overheard it. Ethan has shown a displeased look.

"Then you can wait for her outside."

Harry waited faithfully for Cleo on one of the benches outside the classroom door. Taken out his sophisticated smartphone and typed a few messages. Until checking the report that Dirga gave him via email.

Dirga seems truly grateful for the multi-talented ability of his boss.

Harry certainly never wasted a single time of his time just being empty without doing anything. Harry had executed many of his piled-up and slightly neglected work.

While Cleo was busy focusing herself on following Ethan's lesson this morning by trying to lessen her distracted attention by the presence of the man waiting for her outside. Harry had already had time to give some reply messages for his team to immediately punished Aretta in the way he wanted.

Cleo's class finished first when the day was already creeping in at noon. Some of her classmates seemed to be whistling at each other and coded for Cleo not to linger and not let her husband wait outside for so long.
