Chapter 5 - AGREEMENT LETTER

"We have arrived."

The voice of Jonathan, Julian's personal driver, suddenly broke the momentary silence that occurred in the middle seat occupied by Scarlett and Jane.

The two of them then went downstairs and Jane took Scarlett into the 'Hudson Yards' where all the branded goods were gathered inside. Again, Scarlett stared in amazement at the luxury mall, until she swallowed her saliva several times when she reached the Luxury. 

The price made Scarlett's stomach churn, it was her salary for six months as a cellphone counter guard in her village.

"Jane, aren't there any cheap clothes?" Scarlett whispered.

Jane shook her head with an amused smile at that.

"This is Julian's favorite place, take all you want Scarlett," replied Jane.

Scarlett nodded hesitantly then walked along the hangers of clothes at exorbitant prices. She was adamant about getting the normal price, so she chose the clothes she could without thinking about what styles were currently trending.

Jane shook her head when she saw some of the clothes that Scarlett had chosen, but Jane immediately understood, this was Scarlett's first experience in the city and suddenly she had to face a very surprising reality, being side by side with a superstar who was in the spotlight of many people.

Jane doesn't want Julian's time to be wasted because of Scarlett's confusion, so Jane herself chooses several clothes for Scarlett's daily life. She will entrust the rest to Ben, Julian's trusted fashion stylist. Only Ben knows what Julian's fashion tastes are like, even models like Selena use his services to always look beautiful in front of Julian.

"The total is four hundred thousand dollars, Ma'am."

Scarlett glared, she almost fainted when she heard the shopping total said by the female cashier, she was afraid what if Julian or Grandma Riana objected and would scold her.

"Jane, please return the clothes, I didn't buy them," Scarlett whispered, her body shaking.

Jane shook her head slowly, then lightly took out the credit card Julian had given to the cashier. In a matter of minutes, the clothes were neatly wrapped and given to Jane.

Scarlett stared in disbelief until she froze for a split second in shock.

"Come on, Scarlett, don't waste time," whispered Jane as she took Scarlett away from that place.

There is still one more place that Scarlett and Jane must visit, Musee Beauty, a beauty salon frequented by top artists and famous models.

"Welcome Jane, long time no see you," said Miss Elea, the owner of Musee Beauty, very friendly.

Miss Elea, who is Julian's MUA and regular hairstylist, seemed happy to see Jane back at her place, which meant that Julian needed her services again. Who wouldn't be happy to be invited to work with a top artist like Julian.

Jane didn't say anything, she just returned Miss Elea's smile which was no less friendly, as did Scarlett who looked awkward smiling at Miss Elea who she had just seen.

"Who is she? I've never seen it."

"Do your best for Julian, dress her as pretty as possible, Julian is waiting for us at the 'Endless Love' Cafe at 6 o'clock."

Miss Elea was stunned for a moment then looked at Scarlett in disbelief, in her heart she wondered who the woman standing in front of her at this time really was. Miss Elea could only think, she knew that Jane was not someone who could be pried into about Julian's personal life, Jane really guarded Julian's privacy.

"Okay, I'll give my best."

Jane nodded happily.

"Did I see correctly? Why is she getting prettier?" thought Julian.

At this time Scarlett had arrived at Cafe Endless Love, she walked alone towards the table that Julian had ordered, while Julian became nervous when Scarlett approached him.

Miss Elea transformed Scarlett into a beautiful princess with flawless make-up that matched Scarlett's perfectly sculpted face, not forgetting that she also changed Scarlett's hairdo which was originally very long, cut at her back with thin layers at the bottom and parted in the middle, this made Scarlett's face look thinner and her sexy aura came out more.

It didn't stop there, Miss Elea even called Ben to perfect Scarlett's appearance, a floral motif mini dress with light beige stilettos was her choice, making Scarlett truly transformed into a famous model.

Julian couldn't believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was Scarlett, a village woman who Grandma had brought to his house yesterday.

Julian then laughed to himself in his heart, then hurriedly got up and dragged a chair back for Scarlett to sit on, Scarlett was stunned to be treated like that by Julian.

"Thank you," said Scarlett with a faint smile which made Julian even more enchanted by her beauty.

"You're so beautiful tonight, I can't even recognize you," Julian admitted shyly.

Scarlett smiled, her face slightly red from blushing.

"But... I spent your money, Julian," she said later feeling guilty.

Julian chuckled at Scarlett's innocence, even though he didn't mind it at all.

"Do you want to replace it?"

Scarlett glared then shook her head in fear.

"I don't have that kind of money," she replied sadly.

"It's enough for you to replace it by being my pretend wife, then I'll give it all to you, this isn't enough, Scarlett."

Scarlett just nodded, on the other hand she was very happy, on the other hand she had to accept the consequences of being Julian's pretend wife, especially since Julian is a famous artist. There will definitely be many pros and cons from the fans. Scarlett snorted.

After that the drinks ordered came, taro milk tea and dalgona coffee.

"Drink first, after this I will give you a letter of agreement."

Scarlett nodded while giving Julian a very flat smile, after that she didn't care anymore, she sipped the Taro Milk Tea she ordered.

Julian then clapped his hands and two well-built people came in wearing the same black uniforms, they were both Julian's bodyguards.

"This is it, sir," said one of Julian's bodyguards while handing Julian a folder.

Julian smiled so sweetly at Scarlett then handed the marriage agreement letter to the woman from Batu. Scarlett accepted it with trembling hands, she was afraid of making the wrong decision, especially since she was dealing with someone who was not random.

Scarlett opened the folder very nervously, her pair of eyes decorated with blue contact lenses examined the details of several agreements written in the letter and the essence was the same, not to love each other and not to interfere in each other's lives.

Scarlett took a deep breath, she wasn't sure she could follow the contents of the agreement, she was just a normal woman who would one day have feelings for her husband.

"Do you agree Scarlett?"
