Please, don’t copy and remake!

Summer had begun to feel, the cold of winter seemed to disappear when the change of season began on July. Lots of typical summer flowers bloomed in this hot air, even a lot of people had already scheduled vacations to go for outdoor vacations on weekends.

Vacation!? That word felt very inappropriate when being presented to a man with the appearance of a big boss who was sitting in his director's chair with a very arrogant style. The man, Skandar Alexander Hemingway, the heir of the Chagall Corporation, a large electronics company in Australia. He was too handsome apparently, but it was empty when discussing his character in understanding and forgiving negligence. Skandar Hemingway was perfectionist so much by a hundred percent.

The grown man flipped through the files of his agreement with the chief consigner who plan to file a contract review with his company this month. He had been doing this thirty minutes ago, he always do everything and carefully, at the specific thing, he was finding unusual clues, he was getting excited. The corners of the Hemingway family's eldest son's lips grinned upward. It was true that the man had just found something. Did they want to try to manipulate him, huh?

Skandar pressed the telephone button on his desk, his new secretary did not immediately receive the call. The young man snorted, this is the second call, and again the call was not connected. If until the third call was not connected, he would send a warning letter to his staff, where was there a secretary who treated her CEO like this. Skandar immediately closed the receiver roughly, it had a sound like something had just been slammed.

Just then, the door to his office opened, showing a girl who was dressed very minimally in a dark brown blazer and came running a little towards her desk, the girl who was lacking in material was her new secretary, Sakagawa Sana.

"I don’t ask you to come here, Ms. Sakagawa. I just call you." The CEO quipped her.

"I'm sorry, sir, I have something to say, there is an important guest who is looking for you now." The girl seemed to bow to apologize to him every second.

"I told you, today I will not accept any guests." Said Skandar. The man opened his file again, he scratched a few check lists on the surface of the white paper.

"But Mr. Hemingway. She will be angry." The Japanese girl whispered panicly. Japanese girl? Yes, she was Japanese girl. Skandar wass hiring a girl from Japan as his new secretary.

"Who!? Who will dare to be angry with me? Ask her tomorrow!" Skandar growled.

"Sir ... I will get her moody then, Mr. Hemingway too."

“Who is your boss now? Scolding me, who is she?”

Skandar thought, Was there one office staff who could understand how busy he was now? How much time had been wasted, because of the stupid behavior of his subordinates only, not the day after yesterday, not now. The day before yesterday was even worse than today. Thinking about it Skandar already wanted to pull his stupid branch manager’s tie again.

"I, I will scold you!"

A woman suddenly walked in, a luxury maroon bag symbolized how the woman's socialite was waving in his hand. Of course, the bag that the socialite was carrying was a limited edition international bag from a well-known fashion brand, Hermes.

The woman had a gaze that was far from the impression of how gentle a woman should be in staring at it, and now the woman was giving a shooing look to a girl whom back door she had berated for forbidding her to come into her own son's office.

"Go away! Close the door too!" Said the woman who was responded by bowing of the one Japanese girl back.

“Japanese girl, you employ Japanese girl, dear? Foreign workers' income tax isn't cheap if you know." She was very fussy, so his mother's character was, Skandar just rolled his eyes lazily.

"Those who get tax deducted are the nominal salaries, we are not the person who was dealing with setting aside more tax costs for her. Stop arranging little things like this, Mom." Scolded Skandar.

"And she can't even afford even more material dress?" Skandar breathed heavily to hear how fussy his mommy was!

His mother would protest against such small things many things, it was fortunate that the woman had a child who was as patient as her son. Just be patient for his parents, because Skandar was so pathetic when it came to his employees, his level of work ethic almost even beat the Japanese invaders.

Skandar stood up from his chair, and walked towards the guest chair at the side of his office. He invited his mommy to sit down too. The Hemingway woman followed her son and sat down in the soft chair. His Hermes bag was still on his lap.

"Where is your future wife, dear son? Mom's been waiting from yesterday. "

Skandar would have sat in one of the other chairs if the Mommy did not say his sacred word. The young man tried to see the end of the ceiling in his office, he was very lazy to talk about it now. For almost three weeks he was fed with those questions "Where is your girlfriend? Your fiancée? Your future wife?" from almost all over side of his house. How loony it was, all of his family were insane.

“Last week I didn't introduce Mom to her. Mom refuses her. "

Skandar tried to remind his mother. The Hemingway man now rested his foot on the other. Shifting his gaze to the large windows in his office on the tenth floor. He wanted to escape now from the very sensitive issue for him lately.

"And to let my eldest son to marry the bitch?" Skandar’s mommy reproved her son.

“She's not a bitch, Mom, she's my friend. Mom has already known her family, right? "

“No, you will fail your grandfather's testament if you choose that girl. Daughter of bar company around Victoria, Huh? Liquor is their all goods. Oh my God, this kid, is it almost as bad as higher education to judge women."

Narcissa Hemingway squeezed her beautiful nod, at the age of nearly fifty-five, the woman still looked very beautiful at her age. No wonder, Skandar Alexander Hemingway had charming looking like that. But once more, you should never judge all members of the Hemingway family by their looks. Because both Skandar and his mother had the same warning, very picky.

There was a testament from Skandar's grandfather that his grandson-in-law had to get married this month, this year. It was very easy at first, Narcissa Hemingway's son was the ideal son-in-law of all in-laws both citizen and socialite levels in Australia, wasn’t he? On the contrary hand, Skandar Hemingway is too stupid and dumb when it came to maximizing his youth. No wonder, his son did not even appear to be dating or dating any decent woman.

And last week, her smart and stupid son invited a girl who looked very bitch from her appearance. There was no good girl who looked sexy and vulgar when they met their parents. Her mother-in-law, Skandar’s grandma almost got a heart attack to look at her.

"Mom can assume Sana as my next fiancée after this." Skandar said casually.

"Who is Sana?"

"My new secretary earlier." Skandar smirked on his mother.

“You are mischievous kid! Skandar Alexander Hemingway, do you want to be deleted from our family line?" Her mother screamed frustrated.

Skandar, could his ear be just pulled little and be done? Her son did not seem to take her words seriously, it caused Narcissa even being more annoyed.  Watch out if his son still took a potty girl and claimed her to be her future son-in-law. Mommy Skandar was still exasperated with her son's behaviour.

Narcissa rose from her chair, Skandar looked at her strangely. It was unusual for his mommy to leave quickly, he would usually get a lecture class from his Mommy before she went home. Skandar raised his black eyebrows, he was shocked when he got a grin from his mother.

"There is dinner at our house tonight, come home on time!" Said the mother. "Mom has taken decision, I shall choose your fiancee, it’s final, and there is no interference."

"WHAATT? MOMM!" Skandar immediately glared at that.

The man immediately crushed his face with his large palms. Especially he saw his mother who had left his office soon. It is fact, his mother was more terrifying than the sound of her grandfather's will.

The man felt like he wanted to scream loudly if he thought about his fate in the next four hours.

Skandar is pissed off now!

At the Canberra Private High School

Canberra, Australia

"Don't you want to try it, Charisa?" Said a short haired girl to the round-eyed girl who was listening to a song list from her cellphone.

"What should I try?" Charisa Zwetta Davis, the girl turned a questioning look.

Anna, the girl gave a piece of green colour paper to the Davis girl. The two of them had been friends since Charisa first met her on their first day of school.

Charisa read the paper, it was a paper that containing a singing audition from a second tier agency in Australia. The girl's eyes shifted from the top to the bottom of the paper section, the audition was directly under the big agency that was on the rise right now, the only boy band that was currently famous under the agency's name. Forehead Charisa contracted, she's like pulling a conclusion.

"This is where your father works, right, Anna?" Charisa asked, her eyes were still on the green paper.

Anna cleared her throat, a sign that she said yes to her friend. The girl did not know that her father was the direct director, which Charisa knew that her father was just an ordinary staff there. After all, she was happy to be friend with Charisa without the girl knowing her father's status. Anna Smith really appreciated people who saw her as the usual Anna, and Charisa was included as one of those people.

"No, I don't want to, Anna."

"Why? Your voice is good Risa, didn't your brother allow you?" Asked Anna, she knew, since the girl's father died, her friend was taken care of by her own brother.

"No... It's exhausting, sing and scream, it just makes me hungry." The long haired girl said innocently.

Anna immediately scratched her hair slowly, she was speechless. Anna almost forgot, if her friend was very slug in positive way. Charisa’s cheerful and honest characteristics were what Anna like towards hers.

Now, they were waiting to be picked up by their respective families. Charisa might be picked up by her sister-in-law, as she remembered that it's already past her brother's break time. Anna had been picked up by her personal driver, but Charisa had not been picked up by her sister in law yet. A white car had just appeared in front of her school fence. Charisa recognized it as her sister-in-law's car.

"Sista..." Charisa shouted, she immediately pulled her backpack and ran towards her older brother's wife's car.

"How’s your class, Char?" Her beautiful sister-in-law greeted her, Amanda.

"Fine, where have you run out, why do you make up so pretty like this?"

“Ohh, we're going to the boutique, Charisa. You have to choose a new dress. "

“Dress for me? Will we have an event? "

"Yes, we have to hurry, we have no any time."

Charisa seemed as thinking, what kind of party they were going to attend, so they had to buy a new dress at the boutique too. The round-eyed girl only obeyed when her sister-in-law was running the car. Charisa opened her line application, several messages from her friends came in, the girl laughed with her cute rabbit teeth.

"Sis, my biology score is bad again, it's very difficult. I may get a remedy. Babies come out of the stomach, don’t they? If they do not from there, where does he come out of?" Charisa asked suddenly. The girl saw her sister's face which looked shocked and embarrassed at her.

"Ahh... Come out of-" Amanda Davis' voice hung, the woman was confused to answer her young sister-in-law's question, it sounded that she spoke many biology issues for her which she was not the biology teacher.

“Do you not really know, Charisa? You can open it again in the section on reproduction. It also seems to explain which parts of the body are used as human reproductions, such as for making babies. Something of that kind." Amanda grimaced, swearing she was no good at explaining this matter.

"Making a baby? What is it made of? "

The girl was still staring on Amanda who was already looking at her with round narrow eyes. To answer a question raised by an innocent school girl as young as Charisa when she was focused on driving like this was very difficult for Amanda. It was more difficult than when he took his driving test to get his first driving license.

"Read your biology book again, Charisa, I am driving now." Amanda avoided to discuss the matter with her stiff laugh.

"It sounds like biology is an important science." Charisa's little grunt.

God, Noah!

Are you kidding, you tell your innocent sister to get married!

Last year, when her father-in-law died, she thought that her father-in-law's will was just nonsense, where there was a testament of matchmaking in the current era of globalization. Moreover, the family of their prospective in-laws also did not discuss the testament anymore. It was until last month, they received news from the family, if the family was serious about their testament, and they were discussing the clarity of the will. Hopefully they did not, Amanda prayed at that time. She already loved Charisa like her own younger sister. She could not bear it if Charisa got young marriage like that.

Amanda almost cursed on her husband this morning, Noah Davis, he was alike doing exercises for heart attack this morning. How could her husband suddenly told her if his sister was going to marry this month, like it or not, Charisa would be married off. Amanda wanted to hit her husband's head, what Noah did not know how difficult to teach her innocent sister to think a bit mature.

"Ahh, we'll just buy the latest edition of biology book for Charisa then!" Said Amanda suddenly.

Charisa was startled, she was disgusted to read biology books again!
