BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Invitation for Dinner

Deeply aware that Jimmy was done talking on the phone with someone he didn't know, Bobby walked into Jimmy's room.

" Sorry, Jim. Busy again?" ask Bobby.

" Ah, Bob. What's up?" Jimmy gasped because Bobby suddenly walked in from the door of his room.

" Sorry if I was a little presumptuous to hear you talk on the phone. But I'm interested because the person you're talking about has something to do with the task I'm on." Intrigued by Jimmy's relationship with Kayra, who is being 'targeted' in connection with the assignment he received from Agnes, Bobby finally tells Jimmy that they are in contact with the same person.

" Duty? What assignment, Bob?" Jimmy's eyes narrowed at Bobby's words.

" Do you remember if anyone needed my help a while ago?" Bobby tries to remind Jimny when he receives a call from someone asking for his help.

" Well, who is he?" Jimmy was curious about the person who asked Bobby for help, let alone the help that person asked him to get in touch with Kayra and Erlangga.

" I don't know, I don't know who he is either, but he wants me to get rid of Kayra from the man named Erlangga who owns the Mahadika Gautama company you mentioned on the phone" Bobby said.

" You're being asked to get rid of Miss Kayra?" Jimmy is shocked to hear Bobby accept the order to get rid of Kayra. " You better stop that mission, Bob!" jimmy asks Bobby not to continue Bobby's mission to get rid of Kayra.

" What exactly is your relationship with them?" ask Bobby in curiosity.

" Miss Kayra is the woman my friend Bob loves." said Jimmy. " What did you do to Kayra? Did you hurt her?" Jimmy's worried, he's afraid Bobby's gonna hurt Kayra.

" No, I didn't hurt him! I just told people to spread the hoax if Kayra was married and had children from other men, so that her husband would leave Kayra." Bobby explained what he's done so far

" Take your action, Bob. My friend would definitely not be happy if anyone had hurt Miss Kayra, let alone done it on purpose." Jimmy hopes Bobby doesn't go ahead with his plan to get rid of Kayra, because he knows Rivaldi doesn't want anyone to touch let alone hurt the woman he likes.

" My friend helped me a lot to fund the construction of this club, he will also sponsor the event later. So don't let her get angry because you're teasing Miss Kayra." Jimmy explains his reason for asking Bobby to stop 'hunting' Kayra.

" Sorry, I don't know about that, Jim." Bobby felt sorry for harassing women who have a special relationship with a very important person with club' boxing, where he spent his fortune.

" How much fee did the man who promised you?" ask Jimmy.

" A hundred million, but he only loved DP twenty-five, the rest after it was settled, until Kayra parted with Erlangga," bobby said how much money he would receive if he succeeded in carrying out Agnes' plan.

" Hmmm, your man wants Miss Kayra and Mr. Erlangga to separate, essentially we have the same mission ..." Jimmy rubbed his jaw.

" Just Gini, Bob. We're working together to separate Mr. Erlangga from Miss Kayra, we're both doing that, but don't hurt Miss Kayra. The important thing is that our mission is both successful without bothering Miss Kayra," Jimmy invites Bobby to work together because he believes Bobby will definitely agree to help him separate Kayra for Rivaldi.

" Okay, Jim. I'll definitely petrify." Bobby pats Jimmy on the shoulder, agreeing to what Jimmy has to offer.

" So Agnes told people to make you and Kayra part ways by spreading such cheap issues?" The hero responds to Erlangga's story about the person Agnes told him to.

" You're right, Mr. Wira. She's a gi la woman! Yesterday he came to this office cafeteria and said bad things about Kayra, now telling people to do the same. How ridiculous!" Erlangga smilingly sneered what was done by Agnes was bo doh action.

" How much salary did you give Mr Bondan so he can work optimally like this, sir?" Wira gave a sneering smile to her boss, because she knew, Erlangga did not spend a small amount to pay Bondan and his men.

" That must be enough to make Mr. Bondan and his men loyal to me, Mr. Wira." Erlangga pulled the corner of her lips hearing the insinuation of Wira.

" You should consider if Agnes and Rivaldi work together, Mr. Erlangga. They have the same goal, Rivaldi wants Kayra, while Agnes wants you the most. Your enemy is getting stronger now." Wira warned Erlangga to be more careful.

" I therefore do not want to be far from Kayra, Mr. Wira. I feel Kayra would be safer if it were near me." Erlangga felt calmer if Kayra was with him.

" Is there anyone other than Koko watching over you and Kayra? It's best to add personnel to protect you, because Jimmy has club boxing. I'm afraid Rivaldi will be even more reckless if he finds out that you and Kayra are married, Mr. Erlangga." The hero again suggested that his boss add an escort to make it safer.

" Yes, I think so too, Mr. Wira. I have to ask Mr. Bondan to add his men to watch over us." Erlangga agreed with Wira to add a bodyguard that would escort him and his wife.

Ddrrtt

Erlangga reached into his blazer pocket when he heard his phone ringing. He saw the name of his Papa who was contacting at this time.

" Assalamualaikum, what's up, Pa?" greet Erlangga while raising the incoming call from his Papa.

Krisna was stunned to hear the greeting that Erlangga said, a thing that rarely his son did while talking on the phone. And Krishna knew, it was Kayra's influence that made Erlangga what it is today.

" Guil, son."

" What's up, Pa?" Erlangga repeated his question.

" Lang, tonight let's have dinner at home, take Kayra with you." Apparently Krishna wanted to invite his son and daughter-in-law to enjoy dinner together at his house.

" A dinner? Is there an event, Pa?" erlangga asked to hear his Papa's invitation, because he remembered there was no special moment today.

" Papa just wants to have dinner with Papa's son and daughter-in-law. As long as you're married to Kayra, you haven't brought Kayra home, have you?"

" Well, what about Mama, Pa?" Knowing how his mother's attitude, Erlangga worried that her mother would reject Kayra's presence in her parents' house.

" Didn't you usually not care how your mother behaves? Besides, Papa won't let your mom intimidate Papa's son-in-law either." Krisna assured her that she would also put up a body for Kayra.

" Alright, Pa. I'll tell Kayra." Erlangga finally agreed to her Papa's request that she and Kayra come to dinner together later tonight.

" Yes, Papa just wants to say that, Lang. Papa cut the phone first, huh!? Papa has to meet Papa's business partner now. Ariston ...."

" Neurova ..." Erlangga ended the phone conversation with her Papa. He immediately got up from the sofa in Wira's work room and put his phone back into the inner pocket of his blazer.

" Oh yes, Mr. Wira, please prepare Mahadika cooperation contract with the company. Mr. Sammy. They want our cooperation extended to the company." Before leaving the Wira room, Erlangga still had time to give a work order to his assistant.

Kayra stopped her chewing by hearing Erlangga's words about Krishna's invitation to have dinner together at her in-laws' house.

" Papa invited us to dinner, Mom? How is Mama?" Of course Helen's attitude was worried by Kayra if she came to the dinner.

" You don't have to worry about Mama's attitude later, there's me and Papa who will take care of you."

Kayra Mende is legitimate, even though her husband has convinced her, but she is not sure if dinner will run safely.

" Hey, don't think too much. You are the wife of Erlangga Mahadika Gautama, you must be strong against all kinds of obstacles, including from the enemies of your husband." Erlangga asked his wife to be stronger to face all kinds of challenges as the wife of a CEO and a wealthy businessman.

" Do you have enemies? Why seek the enemy, my friend? It won't make our lives quiet." Kayra was certainly not happy to hear that her husband had many enemies.

" Not the enemy in the real sense, dear. More precisely a business competitor. With the exception of Rivaldi, he was really a very cunning enemy." Erlangga growled, he was always ignited emotions if he mentioned Rivaldi's name, especially after he knew who Rivaldi really was.

" Hope Mr. Aldi doesn't bother us anymore huh, Mas?" please Kayra.

Erlangga looked at Kayra's face, she was indeed keeping a secret about Agnes' actions and the possibility that Agnes and Rivaldi would work together after knowing Kayra's current status. Erlangga did not want to make Kayra worried, because he took care of the health and safety of his wife and their future child. Erlangga did not want what was done with the two people who would be the intruders of his household that would make Kayra's mind unsettled.

" You take it easy, Kayra. I will not allow others to disturb the tranquility of the household, whoever it is!" With a firm sentence Erlangga assured if he would keep Kayra and also their household from various kinds of disorders.

Kayra smiled at Erlangga's words, how happy she was to have a husband who would protect her, and she knew that her husband would not mess with her promise.

Helen turned her steps toward the kitchen when she heard a noise coming from the kitchen in her house.

Helen frowned when she saw that both her ART, which used to be in charge of cooking and preparing food, looked busy. Not because he was busy cooking it that made him wonder, because usually his ART was also preparing a dinner menu for himself and his husband. However, what made him surprised was that the menu prepared by his ART was very much.

" Why are you cooking so much tonight?" ask Helen to the ART.

" Mister told you, Madam. You said Den Erlangga and Den Erlangga's wife will come here for dinner, Madam" said Idah to answer Helen's question.

Helen's eyes were wide open to hear the explanation of her ART about the plan of Erlangga's arrival with Erlangga's wife who was none other than Kayra.

" You don't have to cook a lot of menus! Don't waste free food! There won't be many people coming to dinner!" Helen forbade her ART from cooking many menus, because of course she did not want Kayra's presence in her house.

" But, Madam ...."

" Don't dispute my orders, or you guys don't want to work here anymore?!" The snapping that Helen uttered certainly made her ART scared.

After threatening her ART, Helen leaves the kitchen to see her husband to question why Erlangga brought Kayra to their home.

" Pa, did Papa tell Erlangga to come here for dinner?" After arriving at her room, Helen asked her husband who was sitting looking at the economic news show on television.

" Yes, Papa did invite Erlangga and Kayra to dinner here. Ever since they got married, they've never been here together" Krisna said, lowering the volume of television

" Papa this is nothing, anyway?! If you want to invite Erlangga do not have to bring the village woman!" ketus Helen folded her hands on her chest.

" The village woman is Mama's daughter-in-law, too, Ma."

" Come, Mama wouldn't have her daughter-in-law!" reject Helen who is indeed against the marriage of Erlangga and Kayra.

" The fact is Kayra is Mama's daughter-in-law and is pregnant with our future grandchildren. Mama should be able to accept that." Krishna tried to advise his wife to change her attitude towards Kayra.

" Why is this papa, anyway? How do you approve of Erlangga's marriage to that woman?! Women who are more suitable and level with Erlangga are many, Pa!" Helen was upset that her husband was against Kayra.

" What Erlangga is looking for is not the same level, Ma. But a good woman who can be a good wife and bring positive changes to Erlangga. And Kayra is the right person for that." Krishna tried to defend Kayra.

" Papa why defend that woman, anyway?! Erlangga's marriage to that woman will only embarrass our family's good name, Pa." Still insist Helen turned Kayra down.

" What can embarrass the family, the attitude of Mama like this, can not judge people objectively. Judging people based only on their social status." Krisna did not understand why his wife had changed her attitude, unlike when she knew him.

" But Mama doesn't like that woman to have dinner here! If Papa keeps forcing her to come here, Mama doesn't want to join the dinner table!" threaten Helen gritting her husband.

" Yes already, if Mama does not want to join dinner, it does not matter, let Papa alone later accompany Erlangga and Kayra dinner later." Krishna's words that sounded with a calm and relaxed tone made Helen more emotional.

" Mom's gonna invite Agnes tonight so she can come here." Helen intends to invite Agnes to dinner together, at least there will be allies who will help her attack Kayra.

" Papa doesn't want anyone else to join our family dinner, Ma!" krisna was against his wife's plan.

" Agnes is no one else, Pa!"

" He's not a member of our family, so he's not eligible for dinner!" krisna firmly back, because she does not want the presence of Agnes will bring an uncomfortable dinner.
