Coming to the Press Conference
Arthur approached his father even though it was just for image.
"Father? Why come all of a sudden like this?" Arthur asked with a fake smile. Then hugged his father's body for a while.
"You're the annoying one huh. You didn't invite me. I only knew that there was a press conference because Manager Kiano told me over the phone," replied his father.
"Mr. Arthur, who is this?" Asked Natasha who had just arrived and wanted to come talk to Arthur's father, Mr. George.
"This is my father, Natasha. He also owned the company before I did. Dad, this is my secretary, her name is Natasha," Arthur introduced Natasha to his father. From the beginning, Mr. George had suspected that Natasha liked Arthur, from the way Natasha looked at Arthur and misbehaved, then from the way she spoke too.
"Yes, I am Arthur's father,"
"Welcome, Mr. George," Natasha shook Mr. George's hand and Mr. Geirge took it briefly, then let it go.
"Ekhm... you didn't invite Livy to meet at this press conference, Arthur?" Mr. George quipped. Mr. George also knew that his son was married to Livy but did not invite her.
"What the hell, Dad? Livy is my wife, so she should be at home. It has nothing to do with our company, don't worry," Arthur explained with a slight laugh.
"But since Livy is your wife and this is an important press conference, it's fine to invite her," Mr. George suggested.
"What do you mean by that?" Arthur asked with a puzzled frown on his forehead.
"Don't you realize, huh? You didn't invite me to your contract marriage to Livy, and now you're not inviting me to this press conference. You're supposed to be indispensable at all your events, and you? You don't care about me at all. You're a disobedient son, Arthur!" Mr. George whispered in Arthur's ear. Deliberately so as not to be heard by anyone other than his son. Arthur's eyes widened, of course, knowing that his father knew everything but didn't come then and now he did. But instead of feeling guilty, Arthur displayed a grin.
"So what, Dad? I'm already on my own, especially when I got the power from the moon god alone I just meditated for a few months to get that great power, and after getting it I no longer need you. This company is already mine anyway, right? So I'm free to invite you or not. As for the Livy matter, don't ever interfere in my business with Livy!" Arthur warned.
"Oh? Really? We'll see who regrets it at the end of our journey!"
PROK! PROK!
Two claps later, a girl with a long light brown dress that was open at the sleeves suddenly appeared. The dress was shiny and made everyone admire her. The girl's face was so beautiful because of the makeup that matched her skin color, as well as the earrings that were slightly long and shiny as well. Making anyone who sees her will be amazed by the girl's arrival. Even Arthur was even more surprised. Natasha and Gracia were also surprised by the girl's presence.
"Livy, you can accompany Arthur during the press conference because you are Arthur's wife," the girl called Livy nodded with a smile.
But not Arthur. The alpha had been holding back his emotions ever since Livy emerged from the doorway of the building for the press conference. His hands were clenched into fists, holding back the anger that was already building up.
"Yes, Mr. George. I will join Arthur at the press conference."
"I'll leave you to it, Livy, Arthur." Mr. George patted Arthur and Livy on the shoulder and left. Natasha, who was still confused, had already turned to Arthur. As if both of her eyes wanted to ask Arthur for an explanation.
"Arthur... what should I do after this?" Livy asked. Having just asked that, Arthur immediately pointed his five fingers at Livy as a sign that Livy should not speak.
"Here you are!"
Before many guests arrived, Arthur dragged Livy towards the stairwell where no one was walking around. Natasha followed them both of course. Gracia was just watching from afar to see if anything exciting or depressing would happen.
"Why did you come, huh? You were asked by my father? Don't you know that my father is no longer a member of my family? I no longer consider him a father because he doesn't care about me. Why did you even obey his orders to come to my company's event, huh?" Asked Arthur who still did not accept the situation that Livy had to come to his company's event.
"You yourself also know that our marriage is only a contract marriage? So I will never introduce you to the public that you are my wife! The media can cover everything in my company during the press conference, so please just get out of here!" Arthur replied with a look full of emotion in his eyes and a hand that coded Livy to get out of there.
"Arthur... but your father told me that I deserve to be introduced in the media if I'm your wife!"
PLAK!
Unexpectedly, Arthur was so angry now, a slap was received by Livy. Even though not necessarily everything is Livy's fault.
"Never mind, Arthur. Don't waste your energy on your useless wife. Come on, we have to get into that press conference, the overseas clients will be here soon.
"You're right Natasha, I'm also fed up with her trusting my father which I hate!"
"Arthur, but this is an important event for you, so I have to come!" Livy said a little forcefully while grabbing Arthur's hand. But Arthur quickly brushed her off.
SRET!
Natasha, who saw it, was also annoyed and pushed Livy's body until her stomach hit the banister.
TUK!
BURGH!
"Akh... akh... pain..." whimpered Livy. Arthur immediately looked back.
"What did you do to Livy, Natasha?" Natasha, who found Livy sitting on the floor, was shocked and panicked. When Arthur was about to help Livy, Natasha immediately held Arthur's arm.
"Leave it alone, Arthur! Let's go to the press conference now!" Natasha's order was immediately agreed by Arthur. Arthur's eyes were actually still looking at Livy. The desire to help Livy was there, but he also wouldn't want to lose his job. Arthur was more concerned with his company and Natasha's orders than helping his own wife.
