Superstar Husband & Genius Wife - Chapter 22：Fake

After rearranging his emotions so as not to feel guilty, Ethan decided to take a shower first before going down to breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

After all, his body had to be cleaned first, given what happened last night.

“What is this?” thought Ethan, suddenly finding something near the sink, a necklace with a pendant C.

“Is this belong to that woman, huh? I’ll take it first and then give it to Agung,” thought Ethan, who then resumed his activities.

After finishing showering and grooming himself, Ethan didn’t forget to put his sunglasses, hat, and mask back on.

He had to be careful not to get caught, right?

After arriving at the hotel restaurant, Ethan was immediately able to find Agung sitting in the corner, his place was also not very open. Ethan immediately smiled with satisfaction. No wonder that man became her father’s company secretary! Good job!

As he was about to walk towards Agung, Ethan accidentally returned to see the woman he had been in contact with last night.

“Did she come with her friends, huh?” thought Ethan, who had taken his seat.

“Good morning, Mr. Ethan,” said Agung, who still spoke English. Since yesterday they have been communicating in English so that Agung doesn’t know that Ethan can speak Indonesian.

“Good morning, let’s get the food,” said Ethan, who also replied in English. Agung just nodded and started to lead the way forward.

Along the way to pick up food, Ethan continued to stare at Carolina. There was something about Carolina that was bothering Ethan, but he didn’t know what it was.

“Where are you going? Come sit with me!” said Ethan when Agung was about to separate from Ethan.

“Ah, fine,” said Agung finally. He wasn’t used to eating one table with the boss of his company so he was about to break away when they had his food, but Agung didn’t think that Ethan would even invite him to eat at one table.

“May I ask something?” Ethan asked while they were eating.

“Yes?” asked Agung who felt very awkward.

Ethan thought for a moment, he was about to ask how much Agung paid for the woman last night, but he felt awkward.

They weren’t that close to discussing their sexual life.

“How much money did we spend while we were here?” Ethan asked finally. He didn’t need to ask directly, but that question could answer what he was really trying to ask.

Agung then explains the price of chicken and drink that Ethan ordered last night. Ethan paused for a moment,

“Did he use his personal money to hire that woman, huh?” he thought.

“Is it all? What about the personal money you spend? It’s okay, you name it. I’ll reimburse you.”

Agung was silent for a moment, he felt very awkward.

“What is this kid? Did he see me at the club last night, huh? Well, seems like i have to be honest, I have to look good to be a personal secretary, anyway,” thought Agung.

“Oh, I see,” Ethan said and then continued eating.

“Then who was the woman last night? So she is not a female escort?” thought Ethan, stealing the occasional glance at the woman.

Guilt began to envelop him, but he was trying to control the emotion, they wouldn’t see each other again and Ethan was sure she wouldn’t want to see him either.

“Then what about the necklace that she left behind? Do I give it when that woman is alone?” Ethan then decided to stare at the woman from a distance and wait for his chance, in case her friends would go off to add food to their plates.

“Is she still the same woman who was grumpy in the room, huh?” Ethan thought again.

He was a little surprised to actually meet a woman who cursed like that. The only woman he knows has such a character is Mi Sun, his cousin and manager, who does have a straightforward character. But he would never have imagined that Mi Sun would always smile when talking like that woman.

“Fake! That woman is wearing a fake smile! No wonder I was bothered by her,” thought Ethan, who finally found out why he was bothered by her. He himself often uses the same facial expressions when he doesn’t like someone. So that’s why he felt bothered by that woman.

That woman looks a little like him!

“Is her character always smiling like that? But she’s so good at cursing, really! It’s obvious that she doesn’t really like that short-haired woman, hmm, that guy too,” thought Ethan again, who had been watching her.

“Let’s see if she keeps putting on a face like that,” Ethan thought as he ate his meal every now and then, and continued to stare at the woman. Who knows since when, a smile crossed Ethan’s lips.

“You didn’t come back last night, right?” Vera asked suddenly when they had returned from getting the food.

“I did, then where else would I sleep, Ve, if I didn’t come back? Oh yeah, Ra, I’ll return your clothes later when it’s in the laundry!” Carolina replied with a smile. She deliberately mentioned about her clothes, if she didn’t come back, why had her clothes changed.

“Okay, take it easy,” Clara replied while Vera said nothing more and continued to eat her food.

“Have you guys seen Dion?” asked Riko who suddenly realized they were only five of them.

“Eh yeah, where did Dion go? You were the one who woke up first, did you see him?” asked Clara.

“I don’t think he’s back in the room,” said Andrew, staring at Carolina.

“What’s wrong Ndrew? Since earlier, it seems like you have been watching me all the time?” asked Carolina with a smile.

“It’s okay,” Andrew replied quietly.

Where did she actually go last night? Where did she sleep? Is she all right?” various thoughts popped into Andrew’s head, but he couldn’t ask Carolina about them.

“Now that’s Dion! Dion! Dion! Here!” suddenly Clara saw the figure of Dion who entered the hotel restaurant. She stood up and called out to the man. It doesn’t matter that the people around her seem a little annoyed because she’s the one who’s loud.

“Don’t embarrass us, Ra!” scolds Vera.

“Too loud, huh? Hehe, sorry,” said Clara shyly and then sat back down.

Feeling called, Dion finally turned and approached them.

“Yo! Bro! I think you had fun last night! Not even come back!” said Riko when Dion had sat at their table.

“Shh ah! Ha ha ha!” Dion replied with a laugh.

“Uhh… smells! You go back to take a shower first!” said Clara.

Dion just smiled broadly when he heard it, “I’m not that bad, where’s the key to the room?”

Vera just glanced at Dion and sneered to herself, “You fake!”

The memory of last night when Dion pulled her forcibly remained in Vera’s mind, she was a little surprised to see that the cheerful and joking Dion had such a rough nature.

While Andrew was just silent and continued to stare at Carolina, something had been bothering him. He didn’t even bother to glance at Dion who had just come.

“Her hairstyles are different! Why is she trying to cover her neck?” thought Andrew. After observing Carolina for 3 years, Andrew knew very well that woman’s hairstyle.

“Carol,” called Dion suddenly.

“Yes?” said Carolina and turned her head.

“Nothing! After this, let’s go out!” invite Dion. Carolina just nods.

“Thank goodness she’s fine!” thought Dion. Since last night he was trying to find Carolina. In hotels, near hotels, clubs, beaches, almost all places have been visited by Dion.

He thought that the woman accidentally walked out of the hotel and got lost, he even thought that the woman was sleeping on the street. But thank goodness she seems fine.

“What’s that on her neck? Hickey?” When Carolina turned around when called by Dion, her neck was slightly exposed. Andrew couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw it.

“When I was worried about her, she was having one night stand with another man?! Were the clothes she was wearing also a gift from that man?!” thought Andrew.

Anger began to envelop his feelings.

He didn’t even sleep to wait for that woman!

But that woman is having fun with another man?!

“Wow, I never thought my wish when blowing the candle would be granted this quickly! Fine! I will give up! The best woman?! Hah! Seriously! She is just a lecherous woman like most other women!”
