Chapter 9

"Don't call me Miss, just call me Tania." She said.

"I am..." Before Tania could continue her words, her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Just a minute, Rin." Rin nodded, Tania picked up her phone.

"Yes, hello dear..." Tania answered her call. Dear? Rin wondered if it could be Reiz who called her?

"Yeah, I'm here. I see? Alright, we'll be there now." Tania hangs up the call.

"Rinata, are you coming with me?" Asked Tania.

"Follow where?" Rin asked surprised.

"You'll find out later." Tania got up from her seat.

"But Miss, I have to ask Mr. Reiz's permission first. Otherwise, Mr. Reiz will be angry." Rin tried to refuse.

"Tsk, Reiz won't be mad." Tania chuckles.

"Come with me quickly." Tania pulled Rin's hand, making Rin sit up.

"Miss, I..." "Come on quickly..." Tania continued to pull Rin, Rin couldn't help but follow her.

************

"Miss where are we really going?" Rin asked for a second time. Now both of them are in the car that Tania is driving herself. Tania looked up, she smiled.

"You'll find out later, Rin." Tania answered, which made Rin nervous. She was afraid that Reiz would be angry later for having left without his permission.

"Rinata, you calm down. I don't want to kidnap you." Tania chuckled.

"It's not like that Miss, I'm just afraid that Mr. Reiz will be angry that I left without his permission." Rin took a deep breath.

"You're so scared of Reiz."

"Of course Miss, Mr. Reiz is my master. And also Mr. Reiz is very fierce." Rin's squeak that made Tania burst out laughing instantly.

"Hahaha... So Reiz is mean to you huh?" Tania asked with the rest of her laugh. Rin just nodded.

"Don't worry Rin, after this Reiz won't be mean to you anymore." Said Tania, which made Rin frown.

"What do you mean, miss?"

"You'll find out later." Tania answered with a mysterious smile. After traveling for twenty minutes, the car they were traveling in finally stopped at a luxurious mansion.

"Come on Rin." Invite Tania while opening the door of her luxury car. Rin just obeyed her. Rin was so stunned to see the luxurious building in front of him.

"Whose mansion is this, Miss?" Rin asked.

"You'll find out later, let's go in." Tania pulled Rin's hand, they both stepped into the mansion.

"Welcome Miss Tania and Miss Rinata." Who is the waiter who greets them? Tania and Rin smiled, but Rin wondered how the maid knew her name.

"Thank you, where are the others?" Tania asked.

"It's in the living room, Miss." The waiter replied.

"Let me take you there." Tania and Rin followed the maid.

"Excuse me, Miss Tania and Miss Rinata have come." Said the maid to the people who seemed to be having a serious conversation in the living room.

"Please Miss, I'll excuse myself." Say goodbye to the waiter, Tania nodded.

"Hi everyone..." said Tania.

"Hi Mom, Dad...." Tania gave Mrs. Tyas a short hug while Mr. Mark smiled and nodded.

"Finally you arrived too..." said Mrs. Tyas. Rin noticed one by one the people who were there. Her gaze stopped at Reiz who was sitting back with a straight face and his arms folded across his chest.

"So this is Rinata's name?" Mrs. Tyas asked Rin. Rin smiled as he stretched out her hand.

"Yes, I am Rinata, madam."

"Don't call Madam, just call Mommy. Come on please sit down." Mrs. Tyas said in a friendly manner. Rin frowned, why did he have to call the woman Mommy. Tania and Rin sat on the sofa.

"Oh yes, I'm Reiz's Tyas Mommy, this is my husband, Mark. And this is Reiz's brother Tomi." Mrs. Tyas introduced one member of her family to Rin. Rin just smiled and nodded. She was really confused. Why and what was he there for?

"It turns out that they are Mr. Reiz's family, but why was I brought here?" Rin asked in his heart.

"And Tania, this is Tomi's wife." Connect Mrs. Tyas.

"Oh so Miss Tania is Mr. Reiz's sister-in-law. I had the wrong idea earlier." Rin thought. The girl breathed a sigh of relief as quietly as possible so as not to be heard by the others.

"Sorry madam actually..."

"Don't call Mrs...." Before Rin could continue her question, Mrs. Tyas had cut her off.

"Hmm... Sorry Mom... Mommy, what's really going on here?" Rin asked haltingly.

"Look honey, so we already know everything. About you staying at Reiz's place for this one week." Mrs. Tyas paused her speech. While Rin swallowed her saliva, what would Reiz's family do to her after finding out she was living at Reiz's place? Are they going to throw him out?

"My lady..." Rin's words were cut off, she looked at Reiz who had been silent all this time without looking at her.

"Sorry about all that, I'll be leaving as soon as possible from Mr. Reiz's apartment...." Rin lowered her head. She felt bad for Reiz's family. Could Reiz be angry with his parents because he lived in Reiz's apartment? Don't let her get kicked out by the Reiz family first, she'd better go first.

"Yeah of course you should get out of Reiz's apartment first, and for the next week you'll be staying here with us." Mrs. Tyas replied.

"Does it mean?" Rin asked who did not understand.

"You lived with us for a while, after you got married you two lived together again." It was clear that Mrs. Tyas made Rin even more clueless as to where their conversation was going.

"Married? Who's getting married?" Rin asked again.

"Of course you and Reiz." Tania answered which made Rin widen her eyes.

"What?" Rin hoped she had heard wrong.

"Rinata, Reiz will marry you this week." Mr. Mark spoke up. Rin turned her gaze to Mr. Mark.

"B... But why did Mr. Reiz marry me?" Rin stammered.

"Of course you have to get married, you two live together aren't you?" Ask Mr. Mark.

"Yes we do live together, because I work for Mr. Reiz as his housekeeper..." Rin tried to explain.

"But we..." Rin's words were cut off, everyone's eyes centered on her. Except for Reiz who had been averting his gaze. Rin swallowed her saliva, she was really nervous at being stared at like that. And why was Reiz silent, not refusing or at least saying something.

"There's nothing wrong with you guys getting married, you're both adults and don't have a partner, right?" Mrs. Tyas asked.

"But…" Rin looked at Reiz, hoping he would also explain what really happened.

"Mr. Reiz, please say something..." Rin pleaded, she did love Reiz but that didn't mean she was willing to marry Reiz. Especially considering Reiz's cold and flat attitude towards him. Reiz turned his gaze to Rin, he looked at Rin with an indescribable look.

"We're getting married in a week. And for a while youu stay here." Reiz finally spoke up. Rin froze, how could Reiz just agree to marry her.
