GIRL IN RED
CHAPTERS 18. STALKING NEW WIFE
The staff who were told to serve Arimbi as he walked into the boutique glanced at the store manager and then at his colleagues. At that moment all the staff felt that they had to finish what they started. They headed straight to the second floor to follow Arimbi. While the Emir who was on the third floor knocked on the office door. At first Michele did not know if the Emir was coming. “Log.”
When her silhouette appeared before her, Michele immediately stopped her work in shock. Then he hurried around his desk and took the wheelchair handle out of the bodyguard's hand and pushed the Emir's wheelchair inside. Serkan's family guards stepped back, walked out of the office and closed the door.
“Mr Emir, what a coincidence! What made you suddenly meet me?”
Michele has short hair and wearing a women's business suit makes her look smart and elegant. She's not very pretty but pleasing to the eye. He can manage his appearance and demeanor so well that it looks natural in his every move.
“It just so happened that I passed Monivong Boulevard and suddenly remembered you so I came to stop by for a while.” the Emir lied. Though he was there for stalking his new wife Arimbi.
“It is truly an honor for me to accept your arrival at my boutique Mr. Emir,” then Michele pushes the Emir wheelchair towards the sofa. “Do you want me to help you sit on the sofa?”
“No need!” The Emir stood up while holding onto his wheelchair and moved to the sofa. His action was enough to make thin sweat come out of his handsome face.
According to the doctor, he still has hope to recover and walk normally again in a few years if he diligently follows therapy and rehabilitation. There were times when she felt like giving up on herself and refusing all therapy.
Because the Emir was desperate for treatment and his therapy made the elders in his family help to arrange the engagement. They want to help her regain her confidence by giving her an exhilarating event like an engagement and marriage.
But unfortunately the women who used to always swarm around the Emir wherever the man was, now they avoid it like a plague just because he was disabled and they think the Emir had a reproductive disorder after the accident. No one wanted to marry him, so his family chose Arimbi to be his wife. An heiress to the Rafaldi family who has just returned from the countryside.
Just thinking of that alone the Emir's gaze instantly turned grim. ‘No matter what the woman did, Arimbi is now my wife. Only I can hurt him! Others can only dream if they think of hurting Arimbi! Her thought.
“What do you want to drink?” ask Michele.
“No need. I am not thirsty.” replied the Emir. He could not drink too much as it would make him urinate while his mobility was limited so he always drank a little water.
Michele understood why the Emir had rejected his offer, his eyes glancing at the Emir's feet with concern. There was no harm in seeing that pair of legs, that pair of legs looked slender but did not have the strength to walk. He witnessed how hard it was for the Emir just to sit on his own sofa a moment ago.
“Michele!”
“Iya, anything you need?”
“Arimbi is choosing a dress on the second floor of your boutique. Can you take the time to help her choose some dresses that suit her?”
The Emir's request greatly surprised Michele. He even raised his ear with his finger as if he had misheard. For the first time the Emir asked him something like that.
“You didn't hear wrong. I really asked you to help Arimbi.”
“Ka--you agreed to get engaged to Miss Arimbi?” Michele asked hesitantly. They come from the same neighborhood and find out if the Serkan family wants to marry the Rafaldi family and they even choose the true heir of the Rafaldi family, Arimbi Saraswaty Rafaldi. Now everyone in the upper class should know about this.
It seems the Emir had no intention of telling Michele that he and Arimbi were actually married. And the Rafaldi family doesn't know about it either, maybe Arimbi thinks it would be better to hide the news of their marriage. It was much better for him that no one would bother him.
After saying that sentence, Michele could see the displeased Emir's facial expression, then hurriedly Michele explained, “There are so many fine women in this city. I'm sure there are always people who really love you for who you are and willing to marry you without expecting anything, Mr Emir!”
“Who wants to get married to be a widow?” the Emir scoffed. “Michele! Would you marry me if I wasn't involved in an accident? Do you still want to marry me as I am today?”
“Mr Emir...we are just friends.” Michele replied nervously.
The Emir sneered at the woman, in his heart he knew that Michele always had a crush on her. But the woman refrained from showing her feelings after the Emir tested her several times and realized that he only saw her as a friend. It was all because the Emir was flawed! In the past, Michele always approached the Emir and sought his attention.
Michele has many friends with distinguished status, but she still does not dare to offend the Emir because all his friends are no match for the Emir, the man can make anyone destroyed and lose everything if he offends him.
Although she wanted to distance herself from the man but after she found out the Emir had no feelings for her, Michele chose to keep their friendship.
“Master Emir! Arimbi has refused to get engaged to you but why are you still asking me to help her pick out some dresses?” Michele scrunched her forehead not understanding.
“Do you mind doing it?”
“Ti—not really. Rarely do you ask for my help. I will definitely help him.”
“He's still on the second floor. Help her choose a dress first. Remember to give him a discount, he grew up in the countryside so he will definitely care about money.” Emir told Michele with his commanding nana and icy-cold eyes.
Despite her governing tone, Michele still smiled sincerely, “Master Emir because you said it I can even give her a dress for free. It's just, I'm afraid it'll offend him.”
At that time Michele could not wait to go down to the second floor and see what charm an Arimbi had that was able to make the Emir behave like that.
‘Master Emir even looks amazed when saying Arimbi's name even after the woman rejected his proposal. Surely the woman is not an ordinary woman, she must be special and have an attractive character for Emir.’ Michele whispered in her heart.
“One more thing, the staff at your boutique is acting very arrogant. Even store managers are not qualified to be store managers. He insulted and treated Arimbi impolitely!”
