Affair With CEO
Exams

Time has shown early in the morning, but the eyes are reluctant to shut. Like something's stuck up and making his mind wander.

Shortly after they re-entered the room, Kendrick did not say what had happened. The man did not say what details were being discussed, but the point was that Rajendra Rusady was against their relationship.

Although he knew what was happening, hearing it straight from Kendrick's mouth made him suddenly stricken with feelings that were difficult to explain. As a widowed woman with two daughters, Kirana realized that maybe it was one of the reasons that made them disagree.

A kiss landed on the top of his head, the bed on the empty side moved slowly then a large hand hugged his waist.

“Why not sleep? It's early morning, you know.”

“Just like you, I can't sleep either, Ken.”

“Do not think, I'm sure we can skip this together.”

“Definitely because of my status, yes.” Suddenly Kirana spoke softly.

“Udah sleep, don't think too much. Tomorrow we'll talk together.”

Kendrick was sitting on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine and a cigarette that was smoking poisonous fumes. Shut up with a lot of thought, also a decision for tomorrow. She has no doubts about her relationship, but she doubts that her parents will actually give her a chance.

He knows how hard-hearted Rajendra Rusady always prefers good name and status. The old man always wanted everything to go his way without giving him a choice. To him, a good name was the main thing.

“Ken, have you slept?” ask Kirana who didn't get the advice.

After thirty minutes, Kendrick could hear the wife's smooth and orderly breathing. He chose silence because he did not want to make the wife more thought. Let's see tomorrow, what will happen, he thought.

“Goodnight my wife, sweet dreams.”

...✿✿✿...

The next morning, at about eight in the morning the two were ready to go down to the dining room. There was no talk during their breakfast, after the new breakfast they sat back in the living room.

The middle-aged man with a sharp gaze looked at Kirana. The middle-aged man's face looked terrible and made the woman nervous.

The atmosphere of the morning should be cool, it feels so hot. The euphoria in this room even felt very different the first time it entered.

“Are you happy?” Rajendra's questions are directed to Kirana in English.

“What is the definition of happy in your opinion?” Kirana turned around the question which instantly made the man's jaw harden. Even Sisil seemed to round his eyes to hear his words.

“No ethics! People ask should be answered, not just reverse the question.” The man's eyes almost jumped out.

Kirana smiled. Happiness is different according to each version, including himself. What kind of version of happiness is being asked.

“Sorry,” said Kirana still with the sweetest smile given. “You ask about the definition of happy, what do you think the measure of happiness is based only on material, money, luxury or a peace?”

“This is the woman you brought to see us? Unethical. He's increasingly showing where it is!” said Rajendra, looking at the child.

“The more days you dare to fight. Ever since you got to know this woman, you've been getting uncontrollable, Ken!”

“I have the right to defend my wife if daddy corners her like that. She's my wife, my responsibility.”

“Silence, Ken. Let daddy talk to your wife.” Sisil warned, his voice soft but a sinister smile peppered on his lips.

Kirana was actually inflamed by the man's words, but she was still able to control herself well. She has been practicing patience ever since she was Zidan's wife. Perhaps all one would know was his barbarian and rebellious attitude. But it was only recently, before he had always relented and kept silent, even still respecting the entire family of the man. He was not taught against the elder, unless these men were no longer worthy of respect.

There is a time for silence, a time for resistance. There are times to abide by the rules and there are times to get out of your comfort zone.

“Kendrick already has a future wife here. Her name is Yemima Sandrez, she is a better choice woman to accompany Kendrick, from a respectable family and who is definitely still single.”

“I won't marry her!” exclaim Kendrick, “because my wife only has one and that woman is Kiran, not another.”

“You see, because of a woman like you, my son became like this. I know women like you are just after something.”

It was so bad of his mind, Kirana thought unexpectedly.

“Roy!” yelled Rajendra, calling his assistant.

Before long the man in neat clothes came in carrying two shiny suitcases, put them on the table and opened them.

Everyone turned their eyes with different thoughts when looking at the contents of the suitcase. It's a pile of dollars, a lot of it.

Kendrick, who knew where Rajendra was talking, immediately took the wife's hand and held it. In his heart he cursed with many expletives, it was common.

Rajendra will judge everything by money and power. Including buying the love that is glorified by his son.

“All that money will be yours. Leave my son and you'll get a guarantee of luxury.”

Kirana smiled with shady eyes. “You are too high-minded with what you have, Mr.”

“Because you're too low, you should even be ashamed even if it's just a dream with Kendrick.”

“You keep saying I'm an uneducated woman, then, is this how educated people behave? Throwing money in a cheap way just to keep us apart. Forgive my presumptuous remarks, but a highly-educated person does not guarantee adab, such as you. Humiliating people and elevating themselves,” Kirana said calmly, but firmly. Her lips continued to smile without hesitation.

“Capital woman!”

Rajendra immediately scooped up the pile of money that was in the suitcase and threw it away. The man rained down on Kirana with a sheet of money. But it seemed that the woman was completely unaffected, she still had a calm face even stopping Kendrick who wanted to let out anger due to the humiliation done.

“Have you finished Mr Rajendra? If you have, calm yourself because passionate emotions are not good for health. I'm afraid you don't get a chance the next day to do it. You know no, someone who is easily angry is prone to heart attacks.” Kirana threw a smile, her eyes winking at the middle-aged man who was clearly already lowering her pride.

And his attitude like that only makes Rajendra feel insulted. Just this time there was a woman who had blatantly dared to go against him.
