Chapter 7 - She Challenges Him

Trying on a few dresses exhausted Daisy. There are many dresses that Zen thinks are inappropriate for her. Inappropriately Zen means less sexy. Zen wants to make Daisy look sexy in his eyes even though thousands of people will also see it later. As long as the sexiness has Zen in between, it doesn't matter. But if the sexiness is there but Zen isn't around Daisy, he'll be mad.

Daisy complained. To him, she wanted something simple, but Zen didn't want it.

In the end, it was in the twenty-eighth dress that Zen found a perfect match for Daisy's body.

"Packing it," he ordered the salesgirl.

"But it's expensive, sir."

Zen then looked at the waiter annoyed. Indeed, Zen doesn't look like a billionaire when it comes to fitting clothes, he does that on purpose. That's why the waiter seemed to think that Zen couldn't afford it.

"How much is it?" asked Zen then, following the sales line.

"One hundred and fifty-five million rupiahs, sir." For an engagement event, it is very expensive. But not a problem for Zen. It did look like the dress was made of something that made it expensive.

"Just pack it." Once again Zen commanded her. The sales went to the cashier while Daisy stared at Zen.

"Too expensive," said Daisy.

"Not a problem for me... I mean, me." Zen, not used to the call yet. So sometimes he is wrong but still justifies it.

"Zen, but..."

"Never mind, Daisy. Whatever the price, as long as I can be with you, I'm willing."

Daisy swallowed her saliva. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard what Zen said. No one had ever said anything like that in front of her. Not even Reza, her ex-boyfriend.

On the way home, Daisy tried to lighten the mood. She ventured to play music in Zen's car. Because so far only silence has filled it.

Until Zen finally turned the volume down, Daisy grumbled. "You're so old-fashioned, seriously," said Daisy.

"Your taste in music is too loud. So I'll turn it down."

Even so, Zen tried to follow the beat of the music. Either the head swaying a little, or the fingers while driving the car.

Not directly to Daisy's house, Zen wants Daisy to be in his apartment. Daisy complied. But the atmosphere did become different when Zen took off his clothes in front of Daisy. Make him just shirtless.

Daisy tried to act casual. It should have been because he was used to what Zen was doing. It's just that Zen looks different.

Her body looks more attractive. His muscles tightened. Moreover, the stomach that forms as a six-pack seduces any woman.

"You can cook something, right? I don't want to buy or eat food from outside anymore, so use what's in the fridge for you to cook," Zen said with his back to her who was watching the balcony.

Daisy didn't answer. She'd rather be busy with something than have to look at how sexy Zen is right now. Besides, she can cook. Women should be able to cook, at least that's what she always instilled in her life.

He didn't know what Daisy was cooking, Zen felt the sweet smell of pleasure in his nostrils as he felt the food fill his entire apartment.

Zen approached, then when Daisy was stirring something, Zen hugged her from behind. Daisy, who didn't know at first, became stiff just like that. It seemed strange to her.

"Why does it smell so good?" Zen asked, coming closer to her ear.

"Th-this is natural, Zen. It's called cooking."

"No... now, you are the one who smells good," he praised.

Zen so skillfully hugged Daisy. It was as if they had been together a long time. As if they were like a couple out there. While Daisy is very stiff. How not, this is the first time for her to be treated like this.

Daisy, who was not ready then moved and moved to find her own business. "Sorry, I'm... not used to it," Daisy said.

Zen kept approaching. No longer hugging, but locking Daisy's movement access. Cornered her on the kitchen table and stared at her with passion.

"What... have you ever?" Zen asked.

Daisy shook her head. "But I will not do it, Zen. I will do it when I get married later. With the someone I love," she explained and managed to escape from Zen.

***

It's easy to make Zen's anger rise. With just the last sentence Daisy said, she was already getting emotional.

Daisy was supposed to be going home, and since then Zen has locked Daisy in his apartment. Daisy was silent. She was used to it even though she felt annoyed with what Zen did.

Zen even left her alone under strict guard. Then a few days later Zen more often changed women at night. Made Daisy's blood boil.

Every night Daisy had to listen to how the woman of the night sighed with pleasure. Made Daisy think nonsense and even wonder what it would be like to make love to Zen.

"Again?" Daisy asked Tino when she heard Zen returning home with the night lady. Daisy let out a sigh as soon as she found out Zen was with the night woman again.

"It's a habit, Miss. You shouldn't have made him angry," said Tino advisingly.

"He should be able to control his emotions more. Instead of constantly making love to other women while his partner is here!" Daisy grumbled.

Tino tried to look at Daisy seriously. Confused Daisy. "What?"

"Sorry Miss, but have you started to love Boss?" asked Tino carefully.

Daisy and Tino are often involved in conversations. It's just that Daisy always started the conversation. Because for Tino, it wasn't his obligation to talk to Daisy if it wasn't Daisy who started it.

Hearing Tino's question, Daisy was silent. Then Tino slowly backed away, letting Daisy get involved in her thoughts.

Zen's bedroom door opened. Daisy heard that but she didn't look back while she enjoyed the view from the balcony.

"That was great! I will never tire of serving you, Zen," said the woman that night before she left.

"Come out. I've transferred the money."

"Call me if you need more extraordinary service. Okay?" Zen didn't reply. He only immediately made the woman of the night out of his apartment until Daisy heard the sound of the door closing.

"Are you also guaranteeing the women that night not to speak out about your identity?" Daisy asked without looking at Zen.

It took Zen a long time to answer because he was opening the fridge to get his beer.

"Even the media knows I hired those women," he replied later. Suddenly Zen joined Daisy on the balcony. He offered Daisy a soda because she knew Daisy didn't drink beer.

"Oh. So that's right, with money you can do anything you want."

Zen just cleared his throat.

"If only I had a lot of money and could get rid of you..." Daisy said ruefully.

The loud sound of the beer Zen had placed on the table startled Daisy. Again she annoyed Zen. It's like there's no end to Daisy angering Zen.

"Once again you're saying weird things that make me angry and I don't like it, I'm going to make love to you, Daisy!" threatened Zen then stood up and left Daisy.

Daisy also stood up and chased Zen. Stopping Zen with herself in Zen's presence.

"Oh yeah? Why wait for me to say something weird before you'll make love to me? Why not now? Right now? Because I think I'll always make you mad, Zen."
