BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Cinderella And Prince

Kayra smeared a thin blush on her cheek, after rubbing pink lipstick on her ranum lips. Tonight he will accompany the husband to the wedding of Mr. Ronald's son. This is the first time she attended an official event accompanying Erlangga as Erlangga's wife. Although his heart was a bit pounding because he would definitely meet a lot of people. It is not impossible that she will be a concern as the new wife of Erlangga. However, Kayra tries to remain confident, including from the possibility of gossiping people who will talk about it later.

" You're so pretty, honey." Suddenly Erlangga was standing behind Kayra, bending her body until the man's head was already supported on Kayra's shoulders.

" My makeup is too much, huh, Mom?" Kayra asked Erlangga who had just buried a kiss on the right cheek of her beautiful wife.

" No, this is enough." Erlangga praised Kayra's makeup, which looks natural, but still looks beautiful and elegant.

" Is my current appearance not embarrassing?" Kayra was afraid that people who knew Caroline as the wife of Erlangga before, would compare her to Caroline.

" Shameful what? You look beautiful like this, which might be embarrassing!" Erlangga dismissed Kayra's assumption. Her hands were now stretched out, helping her to rise from her dressing chair.

Kayra chuckled at Erlangga's words and got up from her seat.

" Why laugh? Is there anything funny?" erlangga asked with her eyes.

" I feel like Cinderella met a prince, Mas" Kayra said, laughing.

" Because you are Cinderella, the kind woman who made Prince Erlangga fall in love and captivated." Erlangga replied with a joking words Kayra earlier.

" If I'm Cinderella, I'm coming home from the party, not twelve o'clock tonight, Mas." Kayra was still joking with her husband.

" Of course not! I'm not gonna let a long-paying pregnant mom get late." Erlangga now thrust his bent arm. " We're leaving now," he continued later.

Nodding her head, Kayra grabbed the clutch and wrapped her hands around her husband's arm. Then, the two of them walked outside the room to go to the wedding ceremony of the daughter of the chairman of the Association of Javanese-Bali Regional Entrepreneurs held today.

Meanwhile, in the basement of a luxury apartment, Rivaldi looks down from his car. He already has an appointment with Grace to attend the event that Erlangga will also be attending.

Rivaldi stopped in front of an apartment room on the fifth floor. The unit number listed on the wall near the door of the apartment is appropriate given by Grace. He then pressed the bell button of the apartment he thought belonged to Grace.

Waiting for almost two minutes, finally the apartment door was opened, to show a beautiful young woman wearing a dress under her knees matcha-colored, with matching-colored clutches and heels. The young woman's long hair was left strung out with the ends curly-styled.

" Hey, sorry to wait." With a smile on her lips, Grace greeted Rivaldi.

" It's okay, no problem." Rivaldi spread his shoulders. Waiting time under two minutes is not a long time according to him.

" Want to go in first, or are we leaving now?" grace asked, opening the door of her apartment.

" We're leaving now" replied Rivaldi.

" okay." Grace eventually closed the door to the apartment. Then, with Rivaldi walked out of the apartment unit belonging to the famous company Angkasa Raya Group. Of course, Rizal's proximity to Dirgantara as the owner of the famous property company, making it easier for him to borrow a luxury apartment unit owned by the Poetra Laksmana family.

Erlangga and Kayra entered the convention hall, where the wedding took place. Since getting off the car, Erlangga's hand never let go of her hand on Kayra's hand. The man seemed to want to show everyone, if the woman beside him was his.

" Will Erlangga?" When crossing several guests present, someone called Erlangga's name, making the man turn his gaze toward the person who called him earlier.

" Oh, good night, Mr Ruslan? Mr Ruslan how are you?" Erlangga then greeted Ruslan Hadiwijaya, one of the entrepreneurs who also engaged in the field of ethomotive. " Good night, Madam." Now the woman next to Ruslan whom he greeted.

" Thank God, fine, son of Erlangga." said Ruslan. " How's Mr. Krishna doing? Did he come here too, son Erlangga?" ask Ruslan later.

" Papa is on his way here, Mr. Ruslan." said Erlangga later. While Kayra also joined hands with Ruslan and his wife.

" Mister Andra also came here, Mr Ruslan?" Erlangga asked the son of Ruslan. Because some time ago, his company with a subsidiary company of Mr. Ruslan held a cooperation.

" Andra is not present, because she is in Beijing right now." Mr. Ruslan explained the whereabouts of his son at this time. " Andra had told me, he was increasing cooperation with the Mahadika company. Is that right, Erlangga boy?"

" That's right, Mr. Ruslan. Hopefully the cooperation of Mahadika company and Hadiwijaya company will be more solid, Mr. Ruslan." As a business partner that has been built for a long time, Erlangga certainly hopes that their partnership can still be well established.

" I also hope so, Son Erlangga." said Mr. Ruslan patted Erlangga's arm.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Ruslan. Excuse me, for wanting to see Mr. Ronald first." Erlangga asked permission to leave Mr. Ruslan and his wife.

" Please, Son Erlangga." Mr. Ruslan invited Erlangga and Kayra who wanted to leave him.

Erlangga then approached Mr. Ronald as the host to congratulate the two brides in the guarantee. After congratulating her, Erlangga brought Kayra to choose a table that had been selected by the committee to eat the dishes that will be served at the table of the guests.

" It's really nice to have a wedding, huh, Mas?" Kayra was amazed to see the wedding reception decoration of Mr. Ronald's family. This was probably the biggest and most luxurious wedding party she had ever attended.

" We will also have a reception like this later" Erlangga whispered in Kayra's ear.

" No, Mas!" Quickly, Kayra refused.

" Why is that? You don't like us having a party like this? I am Prince Erlangga, shouldn't a prince have a grand and lavish feast? Even if it is necessary that all the people in this country should know that the Prince has found the moorings of his heart to a beautiful Cinderella named Kayra Ainun Zahra." The back of Erlangga's hand rubbed Kayra's pretty face, making the woman blush in shame.

Erlangga and Kayra immediately raised their heads when they heard Krishna's voice.

" Sir, Ma?" Erlangga and Kayra immediately rose when they saw the arrival of Krishna and Helen. As it became a habit, Erlangga immediately greeted his parents, followed by Kayra. However, unlike before, this time Helen was willing to accept Kayra's hand, although it still looked stiff.

" Nah, like this'll look peaceful." Krishna mocked his wife who was ready to accept when Kayra touched and kissed the back of his hand.

Helen put on a flat face while throwing a look in the other direction as her husband satirized her. While the change in Helen's attitude was enough to make Kayra stunned. It is undeniable that he felt happy, when his mother wanted to receive him shaking hands. She even immediately turned to her husband with a sense of haru. Erlangga immediately stroked Kayra's head, she was also glad that her mother started to be lenient to Kayra.

" I met Mr. Ruslan Hadiwijaya, Pa. He asked Papa." Erlangga reported his meeting with Mr. Ruslan, one of his Papa business partners since he still won the Mahadika Gautama company

" Oh yeah? Papa hasn't seen him." Krisna pored over the view to every part of the room where the party was taking place. Many guests he knew. However, he did not get to say one by one.

" Yes, I met you near the entrance." Erlangga pointed towards the direction where he met Mr. Ruslan. At the same time, he saw Rivaldi's appearance from the entrance along with a woman he knew was Rizal's man.

A thin grin was seen in the corner of the handsome man's lips, when he found out that Rivaldi seemed to have entered into Rizal's trap. It turned out so easy to fool Rivaldi by offering Grace, a very clever and shrewd woman.

" Rivaldi is here." Closing his lips to Kayra's ears, Erlangga whispered Rivaldi's arrival to his wife.

" Where, Mas?" Kayra spontaneously looked towards the entrance, until her eyes found the figure of the man who had chased her first, walking with a beautiful woman.

" Don't stay away from me!" pinta Kayra's. Ever since she knew who Rivaldi really was, Kayra had been afraid of meeting the man.

" You take it easy, honey. I'll take care of you." Erlangga again caressed Kayra's head affectionately.

" You are not very polite! Being in front of parents, even whispers, indulging in intimacy!" Helen who had not intended to speak suddenly reprimanded her son and daughter-in-law who she considered did not appreciate her existence as well as her husband.

" Hmmm, sorry, Mom." Kayra immediately apologized to her mother-in-law, as Helen reprimanded her.

" It's okay, Ma. His name is also husband and wife, especially they have just felt happiness. It's only natural that they're like that." Krishna thought that what the son and daughter-in-law did was natural.

" Right, did Mama never experience kasmaran like us?" Erlangga chimed in by giving insinuations to his own mother.

" Of course we couldn't feel like you, when you were newlyweds. We were arranged, not knowing each other. So you can't be as friendly as the two of you." Krishna chuckles about his youth when he was newly married to Helen.

" This has nothing to do with our past, Pa. Mama just reprimanded the attitude of the two of them who did not see, if this is a public place!" Helen responds to her husband's remarks that connect their past stories with the behavior of Kayra and Erlangga who make out no time or place.

" Don't Mama just know the behavior of this Mama's son? Don't blame Kayra, Ma. Blame the mother's son!" Krishna defended Kayra, because she knew Kayra was the one Helen was talking about.

" It's not my fault, Pa. It's just my mom who doesn't want to understand!" Erlangga deflected by throwing a mistake at Helen. Makes Helen grunt violently. She felt like she was being bullied by her son and husband.

" Mommy, it's ..." Kayra rubbed Erlangga's arm, asking her husband not to continue his debate with Helen. Kayra felt that the debate would only make her relationship with Helen worse, if Helen was cornered just because Krishna and Erlangga defended her.

" Ma, Ma." Rivaldi who just met his parents immediately after meeting Mr. Ronald and also congratulated the two brides.

" Aldi?" Papa Rivaldi turned his head towards the woman who was currently side by side with his son.

" Who is this, Aldi?" Curious about the woman who was with Rivaldi, to make her father ask.

" It's Rena. Pa. She is the daughter of Mr. Satria, the owner of Langgeng Putra Persada company." Rivaldi explained to his father who Grace really was.

" Oh, hello, son." Nugraha immediately greeted Grace who was introduced as Rena by Rivaldi.

" Hello, Om, Auntie." Grace greets Papa and Mama Rivaldi back with her affection.

" Well, this is a surprise for us. Aldi didn't say anything to us, if he was gonna take Nak Rena away." Of course Papa Rivaldi felt shocked, because Rivaldi suddenly brought and introduced a beautiful woman to him.

" Right, Aldi said he wouldn't come here. Turns out, he wanted to surprise us by introducing you, son." Mama Rivaldi chimed.

" Hmmm, is this Rena who will be the future daughter-in-law of Papa and Mama, Aldi?" Nugraha misses Rivaldi by calling the future son-in-law to Grace.

" Papa don't go too far! We just happened to meet, and Rena also came to the office yesterday to cooperate with my company, Pa." Rivaldi quickly dismissed his Papa's suggestion that he was with Grace to introduce Grace as his future wife. Because he himself had not thought in that direction.
