Part 4

Seline's life, already difficult since her birth, is now even more difficult. Her Iife feels like a drama on a television screen, her name becomes famous in almost every corner of the Varcolac Group building, and her face appears in various gossip columns of print media and television gossip channels. Almost everyone who saw her and knew her was now looking at Seline with different expressions, not expressions of amazement and awe, but mocking expressions full of dislike.

Seline tried, as usual, not to care, but her indifference was in vain when her friends from the Division often made fun of her, alluding to the impropriety of Seline being side by side with Alcander Cirillo, saying that she had put a spell on the President until he fell into her arms.

Humans will continue to be filled with jealousy and envy. They think they are superior simply because of their degree, their physical appearance, and how smart they are. They forget that all human beings are equal in the eyes of the Creator, what distinguishes them is only what is in their hearts. The hearts and lips of those whose only job is to sneer and speak ill of others do not deserve to feel that they are better than others.

Again Seline's oellphone screen flickered, she wanted to concentrate on finishing the work she had neglected for the last 3 days, but her celiphone screen, which she had deliberately 'muted,' didn't help at all. She wanted to curse that man, the power he possessed made it easy for him to get personal contacts, and what kind of man would keep calling him even when he was resting on the bed?

"Not answered, Sel?"Rika poked her shoulder, her eyes glancing at the five unknown numbers clearly displayed on the woman's phone screen.

Seline tilted her head back, then sighed,"no. I don't want to go crazy, Sis,"she replied.

"Crazy? Who is it?"

"He!"Seline raised her left hand, revealing a beautiful diamond ring on one finger.

"Mr. Alcan?"Selene guessed.

"Can't you say his name?"Seline clucked curtly.

"Why?"

"Because-"

"The hottest person in the world. The dreamer by day,"the voice interrupted Seline's sentence. Vina, the secretary of the head of the PR department, who never forgets to wear a mid-thigh skirt, is the one who dislikes Seline's presence in the PR department the most. Apart from the fact that his boss sometimes praised Seline's intelligence and dexterity, he also didn't like the girl's blonde hair, which always attracted the attention of many people. To be honest, Seline did look strange with her blonde hair, brown skin, and height that matched that of a teenager who had just started puberty. She looks like a foreigner who got lost in Indonesia, especially with the beautiful dimples that make her face look adorable. But instead of making some men feel uncomfortable, Seline's appearance actually attracted the attention of men. Seline just didn't pay attention, because every time a man approached her, she immediately gave him some distance. Of course, Seline immediately moved away, the man's gaze showed a look as if Seline was a new toy that would satisfy their eyes and male desires. Seline immediately called the man bad and said that they only wanted to work on her and annoy her.

"That means?"asked Rika not understanding.

Vina looked at Seline's cell phone screen, which was still flashing nonstop, the cell phone Seline had placed on her desk and which was still showing an unknown number. The woman clucked in her mind, annoyed as she remembered the intimate scene between Seline and Alcan three days ago.

"Yes, he's a daydreamer, hoping the president will call him non-stop, mostly it's a call from a debt collector."

Seline rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What if it's a call from him?"Rika started to fish... She didn't like the attitude of some employees in this office.

Vina tossed her hair back,"It's impossible, I'm sure of it!"

Ietutatatatunt utuk skit Antoni Vina tossed her hair back,"It's impossible, I'm sure of it!"

"How can you be so sure? It's obvious that we all witnessed their engagement, that beautiful ring is still on Selme's ring finger. Oh, don't forget that..."Rika cleared her throat for a moment.

"They kissed, muaacchh..."Rika imitated the sound of kissing.

Vina's eyes widened, she was even more annoyed at the happiness Seline was getting.

"It's as if miss Rika doesn't even know rich people, they are looking for sensation... And this dreamer, a stray foreigner who doesn't know himself... It's perfect to be their victim."

Seline suddenly stood up from her chair, her emotions rising,"speak a little more, Sisi."

"Why? What | said is a fact. The proof is that you are still living in that cheap rented house," Vina's voice rose, arousing the curiosity of the people on the floor. The woman had done it on purpose, drawing the attention of the other employees to humiliate Seline.

"What's the connection?"asked Rika.

"Ckckckck..."Vina clucked dramatically.

"Miss Rika really has a coup. You don't know the rules in the Cinllo family, this has been going on for generations. Every couple of Cirillo's descendants who get engaged live together in their luxurious palace while they wait for the wedding day,"Vina took a step forward and pointed to Seline's chest. Her cheaply rented house. This proves that the engagement is not a real engagement. Hey stray foreigner, don't dream too high... emphasize that you are only a victim to increase the popularity of her family. The Cirillo family cannot choose a son-in-law who physically does not really bake you, especially his family background is not clear.

Seline's eyes heated up when those words came out of Vina's spicy mouth. She wouldn't care if her physical body was insulted, she was born that way, born different, and Seline was thankful that at least God didn't give her a handicap in one part of her body. But when it came to her family and her origins... Seline didn't like that.

"Watch your words Vin, your mouth looks like someone without education, you know!"Rika started to look angry, especially when she realized that people had gathered to watch them.

"It's him who's uneducated!"Vina pointed at Seline, she wouldn't stop coming woman.

"She thinks she's already on top just because of that disgusting kiss and the fake engagement. Hey, Seline, I'm telling you so you know. You'll never be part of the Cinilo family, they're not on your level. And that ring..."

Vina pointed to the diamond ring on Selene's finger.

"They must have many rings more expensive than this."

"Out of gratitude, because you increased their prestige."

"Wow, that's true, Vin,"Gea, a woman with short hair who also didn't like Seline, chimed in.

"Wouldn't you be too worried if she... already took off the ning, I don't want to wear a ring just to raise my prestuge, I realty don't know myself to be a girl."

"No need to get involved, Ge,"Rika waved.

"I'm not interfering, miss, everyone here already knows how Seline doesn't know them. I'm surprised, miss Rika, that you're willing to defend her. And..."Gea's eyes were fixed on Selene's nng, she knew that the ring was worth it. expensive, and it was very annoying to see how the ring fit perfectly on Selene's ring finger.

"I'm tired of looking at this ring,"Gea forced the ring offspring.

"It's really pretentious of you to wear that ring to the office. You want to show off that you're Mr. Alcan's fiancée. Hey, you don't deserve it, you know,"Gea banged on the ring until it made a shrill clink on the door.

"What the hell are you doing?"Seline screamed loudly when she saw the ring falling to the ground. "What's your problem?!" Seline's tears fell uncontrollably. Never before had he been so insulted and humiliated just because of a ring,"You don't have the right to forbid me to wear that ring, it was Mrs. Mulan's ring and you threw it away!"

Yes, that's why Seline still wears the ring on her ring finger, the ring belongs to Mulan, belongs to the Cirillo family, she doesn't want the ring to be damaged or even lost, she even plans to find the right time to return the Ting to Mulan, because she feels she knows your position.

"Mrs. Mulan must have many such rings, so don't make up stories,"Gea raised her voice.

"You don't know reality, do you? You and Mr. President are not engaged. Engagement happens when a man and a woman exchange rings, and remember... Only Mr. Akcan puts the ring on your finger, you don't do it the other way around. Don't get high just because of that disgusting ring."

"Ah... that's true,"Vina said again.

"Could it be... Aside from being used as material to increase their prestige... You could be used as a distraction, you understand entertainment, right? A man as handsome as Mr. Alcan must have many mistresses, and you are one of them, soon to be... Mmm... What's Gea called?"Vina made a face as if she was thinking.

Gea suddenly grinned,"bitch."

"Yes, right,"Vina exclaimed and patted Gea's shoulder, looking so happy and satisfied.

"Soon to be a bitch, hahaha..." "

Seline and Rika's eyes widened, not expecting such filthy insults to come out of their mouths. Seline wanted to answer, but her lips and tongue felt numb, her heart ached to hear all the insults. What's wrong with him? She never bothered or hurt other people, she never wanted or expected anything like what happened 3 days ago, she didn't want to become Alcander Cirillo's fiancée if that would make her look despicable and inferior.

Seline stared at her cell phone that was still flashing, she knew that the owner of this number would call her again and again before she answered. The owner of the number has been haunting her cell phone since he refused the man's invitation 3 days ago, an invitation to visit her family's house. The man wouldn't let go.

And Seline felt inappropriate, she couldn't even digest all the events that had happened to her, including the sudden engagement. That's why she never answered the man's calls on her cell phone.

Feeling disgusted by what had happened, Seline ignored those who were staring at her, then immediately grabbed the cell phone on her desk and flipped up the screen.

"I don't like being ignored Seline, especially when you ignore Mel."

The man's Barito voice sounded angry and annoyed on the other end.

"And I don't like all this either,"Seline's tears dripped. "I'm not your whore!"Seline's voice snapped. A moment of silence, then...

"Hiks..."

Seline's sobs finally came out.

"What's wrong with you?"the man sounded worried.

"Hiks... Hiks..."Seline could only sob.

"Answer Selinel, what are you doing? What happened?"the man urged.

"I..."

Prangg....

Seline didn't have time to finish her sentence. Vina grabbed her cell phone and slammed it violently to the ground.

"Stop playing drama! Wipe your crocodile tears and don't think we believe it was Mr. Alcan who called earlier. How long are you going to keep dreaming, huh? Mr. Alcan can't possibly waste his time contacting a cheap girl like you?"

Byuuurr...

Seline couldn't take it anymore, the water bottle she had placed on her cubicle table with the lid actually open immediately wet Vina's face. She was angry, furious and hurt. Vina and Gea had had enough of their pride being trampled on, Seline would no longer be silent.

"You bitch,"Gea cursed.

"You bitches! Your mouths and brains are too dirty and need to be washed,"Seline replied.

"Fuck!"Vina pushed her until she fell, then Gea's hand went up and prepared to hit Seline's face, but that didn't happen as another hand held it down. There was a gasp from all the staff who had witnessed the altercation, Tivey hadn't expected the man to be here.

Alcander was here, he glared at Gea intensely, then his big hand immediately tightened its grip on Gea's arm, getting tighter and tighter until the girl winced in pain. While Vina and Rika couldn't help but stare at Alcan in their midst.

"Ashh... It hurts..."Gea groaned.

"Sick?"Alcan's voice was cold but piercing.

"How dare you! Watch where you put your hands, miss,"Alcan tightened his grip even more.

"Aaahh... Sir... Aaargghh..."

"Don't try to touch or hurt my fiancée,"Alcan warned.

"Especially if you make her cry. I won't let you."
