Another Woman Belongs to My Husband
Chapter 57: Company party.
Vishnu had just returned from the library after a brief conversation with his father, Hariadi. Although the relationship between the two of them now feels strained after the man's divorce with Adelia some time ago, he and Hariadi still try to communicate well, especially when talking about work as before, it is about a big party that will be held to celebrate the anniversary of the company.
The real Vishnu did not want to hold the event because the news of his divorce, of course, could not protest, because everything had been arranged by his father.
Meanwhile, Ratna and Intan were busy chatting in the daughter-in-law's room. "You're gonna have to dress up pretty for a party, honey. Everyone should know that you are the best wife Vishnu has ever had" she said, busy tidying up her son-in-law's hair. Things he never did to Adelia, since the two were even still on good terms years ago.
Hearing the words of the in-laws, Intan looked sad. "I'm afraid they'll scorn me, Ma" he said softly, though it turned out, in his heart, Intan smiled widely.
"Scoff how? The adelia? Cih, do not be afraid, dear, there will be no one who dares to mess with you, because you are the favorite daughter-in-law of the Kencana family. Instead they will be happy if they know that you are pregnant with a prospective family successor." Ratna confidently calmed Intan's heart.
Intan gasps. "I mean Mama?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, on the show, we'll announce your pregnancy, sweetie."
Intan can no longer resist smiling. The woman suddenly turned her gaze towards the makeup mirror, staring at her beautiful-looking reflection even with simple makeup.
...**********...
Adelia looks uneasy thinking about Alex's invitation to a corporate birthday party invitation for her ex-husband some time.
If only he could refuse, perhaps he wouldn't bother thinking about this. Not to mention, Alex who knows very well the problem will always give relief to the woman. However, it was tantamount to abusing the kindness of her superiors, and Adelia did not want to be branded as an unprofessional secretary.
Helaan breath out of Adelia's thin lips, when imagining her meeting with Vishnu's family later.
...**********...
A few days later.
The atmosphere of the ballroom in one of the five-star hotels looks so crowded and luxurious. Tonight is the night of the Kencana family's twenty-year anniversary party. Vishnu, Hariadi, and several other company leaders were seen sitting in the front seat with some of their colleagues. As for the families, among them Ratna, Intan, Mona, and Attan, sitting in another chair located not far from there.
"Let down your stare at my beloved daughter-in-law, you don't even deserve to stare at her shoes!" ratna exclaimed high, while reprimanding one of the employees, when they had just arrived inside.
Getting such a loud reprimand, the employee panicked and hurried to retreat.
"Don't worry darling, everything will be fine" said Ratna who immediately put a sweet face in front of Intan.
Intan who feels on the wind certainly feels happy. His steps steadily moved towards the husband who was talking with some of his colleagues.
Seeing the arrival of Intan, Vishnu also introduced him to them.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Vishnu, Mrs Intan" said one colleague.
"Thank you, Mr. Philips," replied Intan elegantly.
Diamond's slightly tight dress made her stomach almost look bloated. This of course makes the eyes of the entrepreneurs a little distracted on him.
"Sorry, you're being ...." Philips deliberately did not continue his words.
Intan smiled and firmly placed a hand on the husband's arm. "Yes, what you think must be the same as what I think" he said.
Philips and the others immediately gasped. They congratulated the two lovers.
"Finally the Kencana Dynasty will soon have a successor. We're happy."
Vishnu who had been worried about their views and responses, finally could be relieved when he got congratulations. The man thanked her and said he would announce his pregnancy tonight.
