Chapter 3 - 003 ( Give Me A Few Days )

But a few seconds later, Cleo stopped and looked back at Harry as soon as she thought something.

"I'm sorry, are you really going to give me whatever I ask for? Even if I ask for a few million dollars?" Cleo carefully requested.

Cleo certainly did not want to make her words seem offensive to Harry. But she needed to make sure of that. Therefore, she politely spoke as not to offend him.

Harry paused for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, whatever it is," he exclaimed.

Hearing and seeing his great confidence. Of course, it made Cleo excited.

All-day, Cleo has been felt dizzy with the debt problem that continues to tangle her. A guardian angel suddenly led her way to the hall of freedom.

How could she wasn't delighted? Finally, her patience had been paid off.

And everything feels like a dream.

Cleo hummed softly. Jogged away and resumed her work.

She couldn't wait for the abundance of money that would rapidly flow into her account, which had always been empty.

After Cleo left, Reihan got closer to Harry to whisper.

"Hey, are you seriously saying that? Do you surely want to ask that girl to be your wife? Will your grandmother agree?" Reihan asked with great doubt.

Harry casually replied.

"It depends on that woman. If she succeeds. It will be profitable for me. But if she fails. I will find someone else. At least I have tried it."

His words made Reihan speechless.

And on the other side.

Cleo felt very upset and angry.

"I will pay it off right away! So, please don't break my belongings again and stop hitting me!!" Cleo shouted to several debt collectors, in her house.

She couldn't hold back her anger anymore. Because her uncle left lots of debt which successfully made her life disorganized for a few years.

She didn't know how many times these collectors came to her house. And always destroyed all her goods, without leaving anything behind.

Now, Cleo didn't have anything anymore.

If it weren't for her uncle was crazy about gambling, and kept on it with money he borrowed from loan sharks. Cleo wouldn't have this suffering life.

Lived alone since childhood because her parents died in an unfortunate accident when she was 11 years old

Yul's uncle raised and adopted her. Because he is Cleo mother's brother and was the only family she had.

But after her uncle died two years ago, crazy creditors constantly chased Cleo, because they hoped Cleo could replace her uncle to pay off the debt.

It was truly a disaster above all calamities!

No matter how much money that Cleo paid to the creditors to pay off her uncle's debt.

That debt had never been paid off. On the other hand, that debt was increasing and never-ending.

The interest debt which they pegged was enormous and stifling. Therefore, if Cleo didn't immediately pay off the debt. It would get out of control and continue to wrap around her life.

"You guys wait a few more weeks! I will make sure, I will immediately pay off all of my uncle's debts. So, please leave me alone for the time being. And tell your boss. Don't look for me until I find him first! You're understand?"

Cleo straightened her back in front of the three men in front of her.

"We'll give you one week. If you don't pay off the payment that we agreed on. We will confiscate this house. This little house, at most, is only worth a third of what you owe."

Cleo gritted her teeth.

"Therefore, hurry up and find lots of money! So you can immediately pay off all your debts. And we no longer need to come here to harass you."

Cleo silently stared at the crazy collectors with eyes full of annoyance.

After screwing things up, then they just go away?

Hah! Annoying! And clever!

As soon as, the debt collectors left. Cleo looked at her house with pity. She had to change the important properties in her house a lot of times already, always, non-stop.

Were the collectors not aware that the goods which they destroyed were cheap but could make money if Cleo sold those?

Why would they destroy all that stuff and make it worthless?

Was this how debt collectors work?

Hah!!

But, it had been one week since her conversation with the man named Harry at the cafe.

She saw not a single phone call or the bridge of the man's nose!

Until sometimes, Cleo felt was her conversation with that man at that time only her imagination.

Even though, she completely sent all CV about her. She also included her number that can be reached. But until this moment, the man didn't give any news!

Cleo had asked Reihan for Harry's number. But her boss never wanted to give his friend's number for privacy reasons.

"Of course I can't give it. Harry hates the most someone spreads his private number to anyone. That's why, I'm said sorry. I really can't tell you. You better wait for him to contact you first,"

Reihan's refusal drove Cleo crazy.
