Chapter 175 - 175 ( Lucky )
"When did I do it?" Harry asked of he not remembering.
Cleo closed her eyes once. And then sighed.
"Are you really don\'t remember?"
Harry nodded.
Cleo turned her face to the other side as a give-up sign.
"Good. If you don\'t remember, then forget! I\'ve forgotten about it too," Cleo finally chose not to prolong the problem. Even though she was disappointed.
However, Harry wouldn\'t want to accept it if their conversation just stopped there.
"What exactly do you mean and say it! I will listen carefully and do the responsibility if necessary. You can say it straight away."
Monna felt annoyed.
"I don\'t know if I should blame you or blame Aretta. But the medicinal smell she gave you made you act weird. Yesterday you ... dared to grope me and kiss me. You\'ve completely lost your mind by then. And you\'re lucky that I managed to escape."
Harry frowned.
"I\'m lucky?"
Harry instead felt that he was really unlucky not to have realized that precious moment. He should have been conscious when he did it. Harry regretted too that important moment he had missed.
"Well. I don\'t know if I\'m the lucky one or you. But what is clear, you are also lucky because I managed to escape from you. You don\'t have to be responsible for what you really didn\'t want. You should be thanking me by now! But promise not to do that again. Last night, you really scared me!"
Harry initially wanted to protest and say that he would never regret what he had done because Harry was sure what happened yesterday must have come from his deepest desires, looked disappointed when Cleo thought he wouldn\'t be able to take responsibility if they did something that went too far.
Then, Harry didn\'t want to scare Cleo either. He was in a bit of a dilemma.
"I\'m sorry if I\'ve hurt you, maybe even scared you so much. I really don\'t know and I wouldn\'t have done it if it weren\'t for your permission. Do I need to treat the scars immediately?"
Harry silently laughed at his serious joke. They were need medicine?
"Have you ever seen someone treat this kind of wound? They would usually just let this wound go away on its own. I just need to put on a turtle-neck outfit to cover it up for a while. You don\'t need to look at me like that."
Harry understood.
"Alright. But Did I really do that to you?"
Cleo glared at him.
"Why don\'t you believe me? Do you think I lied to you?"
Harry just gazed.
"I never lied about this!"
Harry gave up.
Drew a smile line across his lips discreetly.
"I had never doubted your words since a long time ago."
Harry stroked Cleo\'s head. Smiled warmly and it was managed to make Cleo\'s heart skipped a beat as she recalled what happened yesterday. Cleo\'s face unconsciously turned red.
"I feel harmed."
Harry gave a response.
"Because of what?"
"Because I didn\'t complete it to the end?"
Cleo looked at Harry sharply.
"You!!"
Harry laughed contentedly at Cleo\'s already puffy face.
Harry added.
"Next time I\'ll make sure I\'m aware when I\'m doing it. So, don\'t be too disappointed. And whatever it is I will be responsible." Harry patted Cleo\'s head lightly with a mischievous smile.
Cleo shouted, "Not for next time!!"
Harry had already fled into the bathroom after stretching himself.
Cleo shook her head in disbelief.

Harry looked very calm when he returned to his office and received a full report with the detailed information provided by Dirga and Alfin about yesterday\'s incident that was involving Aretta.
Didn\'t angry when his team failed to catch Aretta. Just smiled to himself at the thought of something. He keeps imagining how Cleo looked so adorable when she was protesting at him so cutely.
Alfin and Dirga were surprised by his attitude. So that Alfin whispered softly to Dirga not long after seeing it.
"Is your boss out of his mind? Since when was he happy when his subordinates failed or even got caught up in the enemy\'s ruse? Are the side effects of the medicine still working and haven\'t gone away?"
Dirga shook his head. Worried and couldn\'t answer.
Even though Harry rarely even showed a happy face after he managed to get a tender or managed to do something he had wanted to achieve.
"How about this? Do we need to call Doctor Endru here?" Dirga tried to consider it.
Alfin spontaneously shook his head.
"I have no idea. Maybe we\'ll just have to wait and see how it goes."
Harry folded his arms in front of him.
"Is this how you guys work?" asked Harry in his characteristic cold, domineering voice.
Alfin and Dirga then looked at each other.
"See! He\'s back to normal!" Alfin whispered to Dirga who had swallowed his saliva silently.
Harry resumed his speech.
"Catching just one woman you all can fail. Now you guys are giving a report about Robby deliberately releasing Aretta to be free to do what he wants. And Robby will also be free to do what he needs to do to take care of all the mess we make. Are you saying that this was all the work of our team?"
Harry was looking for someone to be blamed.
Alfin pressed his lips lazily. Knew that they must act quickly before things get any worse.
Sofia suddenly invited Harry and Cleo to stay at her house by phone. Surprisingly Harry with open arms immediately agreed. It made Sofia very flattered when she heard that her grandson had suddenly become so generous in giving his time and willingness to spend the night at her house. Yet all this time he was so difficult to compromise.
Harry and Cleo then arrived at grandma\'s house at exactly seven o\'clock in the evening to start dinner time for all the family members together.
Lily and Christina seemed pleased with the presence of the other members of their family. Had time to worry about Cleo\'s condition who had been in danger some time ago.
Kiky desperately mocked his cousin for failing to become a hero who was meritorious for his own wife. Harry ignored everyone\'s noises.
Put some side dishes on Cleo\'s plate. Made everyone glance at him meaningfully and smiled to themselves. Cleo including shock.
"What are you doing? Do you need to be overreacting?"
Christina was curious.
"Will Sis Cleo offering Harry the side dishes too?" Christina mischievously smiled.
Cleo also received gazes of interest from all of Harry\'s family. Cleo was acting pretty.
"Would you like to add something, honey?" Cleo was sweetly offering one of the available side dishes.
Harry nodded confidently.
"Bring me the vegetables and the meat. It\'s just enough."
Cleo complied. Took some food that Harry need and placed it on Harry\'s plate. Cleo received Harry\'s broad smile and seemed to contain satisfaction.
Sofia\'s word suddenly shocked Cleo.
"I heard that you guys stayed at the hotel last night. What are you guys doing there?"
Cleo almost spat out her soup. Looked at each other in unison, with Harry.
"Was grandma spying on us?"
Cleo shuddered.
"Your uncle saw you there when you arrived and had to leave because of his client. I don\'t do something."
Daniawan defended his mother.
"What your grandma said is true. Don\'t accuse her of all kinds of things. You have also stop speculating bad."
Harry looked at his uncle.
"We just continued our second honeymoon. Just be change the atmosphere and entertain the souls of our husband and wife who were getting bored at home."
Cleo glared at Harry.
Are you kidding? What is your purpose?
Cleo gave some code.
Cleo quietly stepped on Harry\'s feet. Harry moaned a little.
Kiky got excited.
"What\'s wrong?" He heard Harry was groaning a bit in pain.
Cleo was already smiling representatively.
"It\'s okay, Kiky. Your cousin just sprained a little. You know, he\'s not young anymore."
Kiky said \'oh\'.
Everyone then resumed their meal.
Until sleeping time arrived. Harry looked at Cleo with a strange look as Cleo still stood rooted to her spot without moving. Looked ahead and keep looking doubtful. Harry then asked her.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked as he plopped down on the bed tiredly.
Cleo again fussed over something.
"I hate this situation. And I hate that we continually stay in the corner. Don\'t you feel that way?"
Harry didn\'t understand.
"What do you mean?"
"I\'m talking about our current situation. Should we go back to sleep in the same room? This situation is pinning me down! Then, what should we do?"
Harry answered in casual.
"Of course we just need to sleep until tomorrow. Aren\'t you sleepy?"
Cleo sulked.
"Of course I\'m sleepy. But I have no place to sleep. Where should I sleep?"
Cleo seemed to want to rebel. Because it was late and they had to stay at Sofia\'s house.
Harry smiled faintly when he saw Cleo on the verge of frustration.
"This bed is wide enough. And you don\'t have to be dizzy."
Cleo spontaneously scowled.
"What\'s wide? That bed even fits just for you alone!"
Cleo spoke out of sync with Harry\'s original king-size bed.
Harry patted the mattress beside his bed. Gave Cleo space to occupy it and invited her.
"Sleep. While there is still space for you and your sleepy condition. Or do you want me to lull you to sleep like a baby?"
Cleo felt the chills down her spine. Until her heart pumped each other rapidly.
Is he starting to go insane?
