Chapter 845 - Pretending (1/2)

”Rudi, we are good friends, right?”

With that one sentence, Jenny pulled the man back into reality.

”What's wrong? Just tell me quickly.” Rudi smiled bitterly as if he already had an inkling of what Jenny would say next.

Because every time Jenny said those words, he knew she was asking him something and that wasn't a good thing.

”Rudi, you know I really like Jonathan,” Jenny said in a low voice as she looked into the distance. ”He finally wanted to return my love, but no one supported us. Rudi, do you want to help me?”

Every sentence that Jenny said was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

He also likes her. The Atmajaya family's genes are so strong that Jenny has a very beautiful face and body.

Her beauty caught Rudi's attention and her family background was also very strong. Such a woman is the perfect woman to be his life partner. Jenny would never suffer if she became his wife.

But sadly, Jenny didn't like him.

”Tell me what I have to do to help you first,” Rudi said calmly.

”Grandfather forbade me to meet Jonathan. He wants me to marry you. Would you like to help me pretend? I have to lie to my grandfather. Otherwise, I will never be able to meet Jonathan,” Jenny replied.

Rudi didn't say anything. He just nodded and replied with one word, ”Okay.”

But nobody knew how hard it was for him to say the word.

”Rudi, you really are my best friend! I promise I will introduce you to one of my friends. When I marry Jonathan, I will introduce you to one of my bridesmaids, the prettiest one! And I will help you!” Jenny said very happily.

After that, neither of them said anything else.

Apart from the sound of breathing, there was only silence in the room.

”Alright, friend. Tell me, how will we do it?” In the end, Rudi asked the matter to lighten the awkward atmosphere.

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. ”Take it easy. I'll tell grandpa that I'm dating you. We will pretend to be close in front of him. You will pick me up when you have time and we will pretend to go together. But I won't go with you after that, but with Jonathan. Then, once I'm done, you can take me back home,” Jenny said mischievously.

Seeing Rudi not saying anything, she asked with a hint of regret. ”Is that outrageous?”

”You know that's outrageous, right? What about me? Can you ask your friend to do all this without giving something in return?” Rudi complained. ”How will you pay me?”

Seeing Rudi who had returned to joke with her, Jenny looked at him expectantly and asked, ”So you agree?”

”How could I not agree? It's all because you and Jonathan are my friends! If I don't agree, you will leave me!” Rudi said, looking at Jenny with a complicated look.

”Thank you! Really thank you!” Jenny immediately hugged him happily.

Rudi didn't move an inch and let Jenny hug him. After a while, Jenny realized what she was doing. When she was about to let go of Rudi and step back, the man suddenly hugged her back. ”Don't move. Isn't this part of pretending? Your grandfather is looking at us!”

”I didn't think you could act so fast!” Jenny was stunned and her eyes were fixed on Bima who was not far from there.

The old man was leaning against the window while observing their interaction in the garden. When he saw Jenny and Rudi hugging, a broad smile appeared on his face.

Lunch with Rudi was very enjoyable.
