7 - The real ruler

The car door opened slowly, and a man came out of it. The man is dressed in a neat black suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie.

 The black leather shoes looked clean and well-groomed. His face showed calmness and confidence as if he was used to this kind of situation.

Going to an event under the guise of a family meeting is just a mode of covert business meetings and show-offs, making him lazy in fact.

One of the mandatory guests is none other than Luna and the important figure this time—by bringing Lucas along with him—will be the first debut for Lucas to show Luna that she has not chosen the wrong partner.

Their hands interlocked after they got out of the vehicle and let the valet parking their car into place.

 "Are you ready?" Luna whispered next to her eyebrows.

Makeup blood with maroon lipstick, her eyebrows are styled in such a way as an arrow bow. Further strengthening the character of Luna's beautiful face so that it looks like a female alpha.

No less charming when compared to the beautiful woman he brought, Lucas was like the imaginary man of every woman from the magazine.

 Luna also deliberately hired a makeup artist who is usually done by artists for their special looks to make them appear more than their usual days.

Luna sniffed the scent of masculine perfume Chosen by Lucas himself.

"Something wrong?" it was Lucas' turn to wonder about Luna's behavior. What her appearance lacks in the eyes of such independent women.

"I have to praise your choice of perfume, and the makeup artist admitted that you have a good sense of style." Praise Luna sincerely.

 "It's illegal for me to embarrass you. My taste is not bad, it's just my empty wallet to style like you," Lucas replied.

The moon is smooth. With life difficulties and also a lack of money all this time Lucas did a lot of work for the sake of life is quite clear that Lucas is not a fashion blind man, as long as he saw the simple appearance of the man, he never looked geeky despite buying discount clothes.

Lucas lowers his voice deliberately so that Luna alone can hear the private chat between the two of them.

"If this time your assessment of me is good. Do you want to help me find that guy?" whispered Lucas.

Luna smiled obliquely with her blushing lipstick at Lucas ' pleas.

"As long as you are satisfactory on the show this time, I can consider it. I'm not in a position you can command anyway."Luna replied a little haughtily.

The steps of the contract marriage couple waltzed into the meeting room always with Luna forced to attend.

There were four figures known by Luna already sitting in their respective places.

On the left, there is a married couple who believe Luna's paternal uncle and aunt. The gaze of both of them immediately interpreted the gaze of the enemy who was preparing to throw something from their mouths to discuss on the dinner table.

Her aunt was Ellen and her husband was Terry. Terry prefers indifference to the look of his enthusiasm while Aunt Ellen looks to have prepared his appearance for this event carefully. Her hair was styled higher to give the illusion that her head was growing so it reminded Luna of a quirky hairstyle from a magazine.

 Luna knows enough if Ellen always appears not to be outdone by her niece who has successfully built a career.

 The man with the brightest smile in that place is Patrison, Luna's unexpected father and another one is an old man not far from her Jeano.

Luna's cousin often whines to get an important job in the company that Luna has built. Despite the success of his work Jeano is more like a rat who wants to undermine the company with a brother label. Just imagining it is detrimental enough for Luna.

Of course, he doesn't want to work with people who have narcissistic traits.

Lucas could see the way Luna smiled, dragging her hand closer and closer to him.

Luna confirmed to all the eyes that saw her with Lucas as if she said out loud that she had brought a pawn strong enough to stand by herself.

Luna has just announced the impromptu of her core family if she already has a boyfriend and will get married soon to avoid a covert business relationship under the pretext of marriage.

Lucas began to follow the game. Pulling the corners of the lips up with the eyes form a crescent.

A smile on display. Lucas was able to capture their aversion to the presence of a strange man like him there.

 But where he cares, His existence is Luna's decision entirely if Luna who asked him to go himself will go voluntarily and not because people are now looking at him with a cynical look that can drive him away.

"Well. You ordered food, yes." Sindir Luna while sitting comfortably in an empty chair.

Lucas easily catches that they don't appreciate Luna. Order a menu that only they like, before the person concerned with this meeting regroups. It's not like this is not considered—if Luna is not needed for an opinion, just food for herself—then why should the woman be forced to attend this small event?

  "Our guests arrived late. Let's order the menu first." Rebuttal uncle from Luna immediately took a snack on his right side.

"You're not eating? The dissertation is good." Show Aunt Ellen to Luna immediately to eat the menu served so that they immediately change to other menus.

Luna glanced with an eye tail towards her empty glass.

Patrison who was sensitive about it immediately told the waiter who was there.

"Please fill the drink only for my daughter." Luna's father said showing a smile as if Banga on him could have sensitivity to his daughter.

The waiter was seen ignoring Lucas's empty glass obeying the owner's orders.

 "Please also don't pour it on my husband because I'm not the only one here." His eyes glanced to his left side where Lucas was. Give the waiter the code.

Luna's actions do not let the people there ignore the existence of Lucas feels disgusted at those who are still stubborn, to discuss cooperation with his downfall.

Those there who seem motionless if Luna has taken out her fangs are ready to devour anyone who dares to intersect with her.

The young man named Jeano has been watching the new couple open their voices.

"So he's the guy you chose? Your relationship was sudden. You're sure that man isn't after your treasure," he sneered directly at Lucas. "It's not better, Hugo." He continued adding by looking away.

Lucas himself is still focused on his dish and is not so interested when the steak into his mouth.

Staring at Jeano the younger man stared with a sharp gaze.

"I'm sorry if I don't fit your image. But Luna knows me very well and she can't bring herself to."Lucas' grin seemed to give the meaning of mocking back Jeano.

Place a fork and knife on the edge of the plate. "We've known each other for a long time and I heard that there are people who make my Luna uncomfortable, so I have to become her husband soon, right? So I can protect her." An implicit statement from Lucas's gaze.

"No one here even knows you're dating. So how can we be sure you're a good man?" this statement was made by his father-in-law.

Lucas couldn't answer.

"The decision we have taken we have thought carefully and indeed we have been hiding our relationship that feels sudden."

"The danger of what? We are her family and Luna is safer in her extended family."The look on Aunt Luna's face impatiently grabbed Lucas as a victim.

"But Luna herself is not a child can be arranged. What if his family can not respect the opinion of girls in his family?" Lucas threw the question to Luna.

Turning to her side, Luna smiled faintly while sipping water in a diamond-shaped glass.

"Listen to yourself, right? The guy I brought in just knew I'd grown up."Luna's laughter sounded circus.

There was silence as one room glanced sarcastically at Lucas. There was a grunt from an older man there.

"So this is the man you married suddenly, rather than the insider from LH Tower? Hudo is a good man, he has a big stake to help take care of that little company of yours."

No one noticed the faint smile of Lucas who wanted to laugh at Hugo's exaggerated praise.

'Why do you glorify that child? But don't worry, I'll take what you have from him. Thought Lucas preparing to launch the action.

"Ketimang Huko I know the man next to me and that made my company almost bankrupt, right Dad?" Luna with her swooping eyebrows looked sharply at her father.

"Which is more believable? Now I'm married and I can't make a harem with Hugo. Isn't that so? It's about the stock you sold without my knowledge. I'll fix your mistake. Dad."

Luna again draped the chain strap of her bag over her shoulder. "Now we are busy."

Luna linking her hand to Lucas's arm looks natural.

"My wife is busy. Thank you for the time my wife and I will be busy with the honeymoon first," Lucas said grabbing Luna's hand to say goodbye from the wrong event.

"Luna! You have to be here first, Hugo is coming!" Aunt Ellen shouted, commanding that neither Luna nor Lucas took any notice.

The two of them came out of the room with relief that they had been able to pass it, even though it was the last time they had to see the decadent drama.

"How was I?" asked Lucas full of curiosity about Luna's opinion of him.

Lucas and Luna let go of their arms. Luna paused for a moment with a smile looking at Lucas before returning they walked towards the exit.

"Your acting is pretty good. You're such an educated man, you know. My father was a man who would observe his opponent before attacking. Turns out he ran out of ammo to fight you because you haven't given him a crack."Luna laughed contentedly.

"Dan... ." Luna stopped in front of Lucas, they were facing each other. "Thank you for listening to Jeanne.

Lucas stroked Luna's hair slowly. "That's my job. Now can you find the man I'm talking about?"

"I don't guarantee that I can bring him in front of you because he's a hard person to find, but that doesn't mean I can't, yeah."

Now they walk down the stairs to the street.

Lucas caught the figure of someone he might know. The man who just got out of the black car in his formal style walked into the hotel.
