BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Taking Care of Your Own Child

Helen stopped the chewing. The food in his mouth was delicious. Actually, the aroma of Kayra's cooking menu was already smelled on her nose as she watched her daughter-in-law cook.

Helen then glanced at her son who looked greedy eating the same food menu with her. Seen by him, even Erlangga violated the ethics of eating according to table manner that Erlangga should do as a boss of a famous company.

Helen did not realize that Kayra was currently watching her. Because his son-in-law was waiting for his review of the food cooked by Kayra earlier.

* Didn't the cooking taste good, Ma?" kayra asked, trying to dare to ask.

" Model .." said Helen briefly, still reluctant to admit if the food she was eating did have an image of delicious taste and really arouse her appetite.

Although only the word 'frozen', the word has made Kayra quite satisfied if spoken from the mouth of her mother-in-law.

" good? It's so good, Ma." Erlangga said with a mouth full of food.

" If your mouth is full, don't talk! You're the boss, what a shame if your business relationship finds out! It's not polite!" Helen protested against Erlangga's attitude which she considered inappropriate and violated the ethics of eating.

" I'm sorry, Ma. Because my mother's opinion had led me to comment. My wife's cooking is so good, Ma. It's even the most delicious food I've ever eaten." Erlangga continued to praise his wife's expertise in processing food.

" People's tastes are different. You said it was good because she was your wife. If not your wife, not necessarily you will test the food" replied Helen, as if she did not like the comment was opposed by her son. Even if you have to be honest, in addition to high-end restaurant cuisine, his daughter-in-law's cuisine is a delicious food that he has tried.

" Before Kayra became my wife, this menu made by Kayra was delicious, Ma. And from this cuisine I became enamored with Mama's daughter-in-law," said Erlangga said if the assessment was objective, even with a joke.

" You can't force Mama to like your taste, Lang. And according to Mama, your wife's cooking tends to be ordinary." Helen remained in her stance. However, his hands could not lie, now taking back the piece of pickled fish meat for him to put on his plate.

" Mad, that's ..." Kayra asked Erlangga not to argue with her mother.

" Look, Mama's daughter-in-law is really amazing, right?" Erlangga is proud of his wife. " Kayra always rebukes me if I'm against Mama. Kayra wants my relationship with Mama to run harmoniously like her parents and children, without any opposition and debate. What a noble thing 'is this Mama's daughter-in-law?" Without hesitation Erlangga put a fork in her left hand then stroked Kayra's face in front of Mama and her Mother-in-law.

" I'm sure Kayra will also educate our children to always obey and respect their parents." Erlangga smiled looking lovingly at his wife.

" Amijn ..." Sari's mother, who had been only a listener, chimed in the hope that her daughter-in-law said.

" Mommy wants your child to be cared for and educated properly, Erlangga. Mama does not want your child to be taken care of carelessly. I'll find an experienced baby sitter." Helen immediately responded to Erlangga's words.

" Kayra doesn't want to wear a baby sitter, Ma. She wants to babysit our own child." Actually Erlangga wants to use the babysitter for the baby later. But Kayra refused, because she wanted to be a full-fledged mother to her children. Kayra wants her hands to take care of her baby.

" Your wife has no experience of having children. Can she take care of the baby herself?" Helen hesitates on Kayra's ability to take care of toddlers.

" Mom don't worry, I'm sure Kayra will be able to take good care of our son." Erlangga strongly believes that his wife will be able to take care of their baby if it is born later.

" Let me help Kayra later, Mom. It just so happens that I used to work in a Midwife and used to take care of newborns." Ms. Sari insists that she will definitely help Kayra take care of the family's first grandchild Mahadika Gautama.

" Mama heard it for herself, right? Mama doesn't have to worry anymore." Erlangga tried to convince Mama that Mama did not worry about Kayra's decision to take care of their child without the help of a babysitter.

Grace notices Arina cutting leaves from a dried ornamental plant in the backyard of Rivaldi's parents.

" Aunty ..." Grace walked over to Arina who was serious about her ornamental plants.

" What's up, Rena?" tanya Arina stopped her activities.

" Tan, I want permission to go out in the afternoon, okay?" Grace began to carry out her mission. Just knowing a glance, Grace knew that Rivaldi's stepmother was a simple and innocent woman. Not the kind of boss wife who is arrogant and cunning like her Mama. So that he felt it would not be difficult for him to influence Arina.

" Where are you going, Rena?" ask Arina later.

" I'm gonna go get some clothes, Tan. Yesterday I only bought one pair, as well as other needs. You know, I'll probably be at my friend's house a few days later." Grace explained the reason for where she was going.

" Who are you going with?"

" On your own, Aunt. I'll have an ojek online." said Grace.

" Why use an online motorcycle? Send the driver here later, Rena." It's predictable that Arina would object if Grace used public transport.

" It's okay, Auntie. I don't feel good bothering the Auntie family constantly." Grace refuses Arina's offer.

" Why do you always refuse Auntie's offer? You're new here, so Auntie is worried that you're going alone." Arina still doesn't let Grace go alone. " Where do you want to buy your needs?" ask Arina.

" It's the nearest mall from here, Tan." Grace mentioned which mall she would visit.

" Look, how about Aunt accompany you to find your needs?" Arina even offered to accompany Grace shopping.

" Oh my goodness, Auntie. Doesn't that bother Auntie? I'm not feeling well, Tan." Grace as always plays her role very well.

" Aunty actually likes to accompany you shopping, Rena. Or, maybe Rena herself would mind Auntie?" Arina suspects that Grace is not happy with her company.

" Where could I be like that, Auntie. Auntie's family's been good to me, when I was like that?" Grace immediately dismissed Arina's accusations.

" Yes already, then let Auntie accompany you out. When are you going?" Arina took off the glove attached to her hand to stop her activity cutting some dried leaves on her ornamental plant.

" Later in the afternoon, we'll eat out, Tan." Grace agreed to Arina's offer. Because it was her job to take Arina out of her house.
