BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Other Women

Kayra looked at Erlangga who looked voraciously with her food. To be honest he felt that Erlangga was a little different today. He did not get the man's arrogant attitude even though what the man said was an order to be obeyed by him.

" Why dream?" Finding Kayra just stunned not paying attention to her, Erlangga immediately reprimanded Kayra

Kayra gasped as Erlangga found herself watching her husband.

" Why not eat your food fast? Later if the rice is cold it does not taste good" Erlangga told Kayra to immediately eat the food.

" I-yes, sir." After reading the prayer first, Kayra began to eat her food. But when only two mouthfuls of food entered his mouth, he suddenly remembered about the rumors circulating about him and the Hero he had heard earlier in the canteen..

" O Allah, what other people besides those who also talked about me with Pak Wira, huh? Pity Mr. Wira if they get to gossip about it that is not-no." Kayra nodded with anxious feelings.

" Why dream again? Is the food bad?" erlangga asked back when she saw Kayra did not move her spoon and fork.

" No, Sir. I mean, the food is good." Kayra directly put the food into her mouth back from Erlangga knowing what she had in mind. Kayra did not want Erlangga to know if she had a chance to talk to Wira in the Erlangga Assistant's workspace while crying.

" Yes, finish your food, if you don't order anymore, send it here."

" No need, sir. This is enough." Spending all the rice in front of him Kayra was not sure she could do, let alone having to add food. Because the bad gossip he stole from the cafeteria made his appetite disappear.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door made Kayra stumble with a paled face. He turned towards the door, immediately then looked at Erlangga. What was the view of the person who was about to enter Erlangga's room when he saw that he was currently eating a table with his boss? That's what Kayra had in mind.

" Excuse me, sir." It turned out that it was Wira who knocked on the door earlier, making Kayra able to breathe a sigh of relief.

" Oh, sorry. I don't know if you're having lunch, sir." The hero was about to undo his intention to enter the office of his boss when he saw Erlangga and Kayra were eating at the same table.

" Come in, Mr. Wira. It's okay." Erlangga invited Wira to enter his room. " What's up, Mr Wira?" Erlangga stopped eating and pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Wira then pulled the dining chair and sat in one of the round dining table chairs in Erlangga's room.

" I just want to convey a message from Mr. Krishna, if I will accompany him to Seoul to meet with prospective partners of this company next Sunday, sir." Last night when meeting with Erlangga, Wira did not have time to tell the plan of Krishna who will take him to go to Seoul.

" Papa sent Mr Wira to Seoul? What's wrong?" Erlangga frowned. Erlangga did not know about the plan of cooperation with business partners from Korea. Because Erlangga had not met Krishna again even though his father at that time asked him to come to Krishna's office after he was caught sleeping with Kayra. Her wedding plans with Kayra left her with no time to take care of anything other than her marriage.

* True, Sir. Mr. Krisna wants our company to cooperate with one of the major spare parts companies in Korea. A few days ago Mr. Krishna came here to talk about it but failed because Mr. Krishna said if anything happened here." Wira does not explain about something that happened, but Erlangga and Kayra understand the meaning of the words of the Hero.

Kayra swallowed her saliva in light of the embarrassing incident at the time that Krishna had noticed. While Erlangga himself realized that he had forgotten Krishna's order to come to his Papa's office.

" Of course, if Papa had decided that." Erlangga approved Krishna's decision to invite Wira to accompany her Papa to go to Seoul.

Caroline draped a small towel around her neck and approached her phone which read after exercising on a treadmill at a sports club' which had many socialite customers including celebrities.

" Hello, what's up, Wis?" caroline asked when she found out that Vishnu had contacted her at the time.

" Where are you now? I have news for you, Caroline. I was just told by a representative of a German advertising company, they said it looks like they're interested in taking you as a German cosmetic advertising model to market in Asia." Vishnu delivered good news for Caroline.

" Oh yeah?" The good news she heard made Caroline's face sparkle.

" Yes, but .. if you take this ad, chances are your chances of getting a sports car ad will be small, Caroline. Because the advertising side will take another model." Vishnu regretted the small chance Caroline get a position as a female model for sports model ads that are actually his main target, because it is unlikely Caroline will work on two big ads simultaneously.

" Why is that, Wis? What if I receive a cosmetic advertisement, I can't star in another advertisement? What's going to be advertised isn't the same product, is it?" Caroline's cheerful face changed when Vishnu said how his chances of starring in the sport product he wanted would be depleted.

" There is no prohibition, but it is likely that they will give other models the opportunity to become sports car advertising models." Vishnu.

" So what do you think? Do I have to take that cosmetic ad or refuse?" Caroline was confused as to whether she should accept or reject the offer.

" Cosmetic ads are most likely to be starred in, but for sports car ads, you have to compete with other models. If you refuse cosmetic advertising, it is not impossible that you will fail to get both, Caroline. And you missed the chance to make you even more famous, especially in Asia." Wisnu argued realistically if Caroline refused to star in cosmetic ads and also failed to get a position as a female model in sports car ads, meaning Caroline's opportunity to add to her achievements in the modeling world would be wasted.

" So we have to accept that ad?" ask Caroline.

" I scheduled us to go to Munich the day after tomorrow to talk about that cosmetic ad contract." Vishnu explained his plan.

" The day after tomorrow? We're going again, Wis?"

" Yes, because I'm still trying to lobby. Who knows, you could still have a chance to get that car ad, too. If we meet there in person, who knows your chance is still open, Caroline." Vishnu always tried to give the best for Caroline's career.

" But what if Erlangga forbids me? Yesterday he was furious when we went to Bali." Caroline seemed to doubt.

" You can actually tear it down, right?" Vishnu feels Caroline still has a cure for Erlangga's anger.

" Yes, but .. I'm not sure if this time Erlangga will forgive me, Wis." Caroline's a pessimist if she's gonna get her husband's permission.

" I think you should be able to be firm on this, Caroline." Vishnu suggested that Caroline take a firm and unplanned decision so that no one opposed her in reaching her career.

" you mean?" Caroline did not understand the meaning of Vishnu's words.

" You have to make a decision, which one will you choose? Your marriage or your uphill career?" Always messed around with permission from Erlangga, Vishnu suggested that Caroline should choose between career or marriage.

" Where could I possibly choose between those two choices, Vishnu! It's all important to me!" caroline resolutely.

" It is important that your husband can understand and support your career. Erlangga? He always stops you from achieving your desires. If I can give you any advice, you let Erlangga go so you can be freer with your career, Caroline."

Caroline widened her eyes to hear Vishnu's suggestion that she thought it was impossible for her to do.

" You're gi la, Wis! Where could I take Erlangga off! He's my husband, the man I love!" Caroline rejected the advice Vishnu had given her.

" Caroline, a man like Erlangga can be anywhere you get, especially with your status as a famous model. I'm sure you can get a man who understands you better than your arrogant husband. But your chances of becoming a famous world model, you can't get it twice, Caroline." Vishnu tries to influence Caroline's mind so that she can make decisions so that no one gets in the way of pursuing her career as a top model.

" Are you sure Erlangga has been loyal to you?" Vishnu deliberately kept on inciting Caroline.

" What do you mean, Wis? Do you think Erlangga is cheating behind my back?" Caroline was aghast at the accusations made by Vishnu against her husband.

" I'm not accusing you, Caroline. But Erlangga is a normal guy, and a boss. He has a wife who doesn't always go with him, it's not impossible that he has another woman to satisfy him as long as you're not around, right?" accuse Vishnu.

" Fuck you, Wis! You must not accuse me recklessly! Erlangga loves me! There was no way he would dare to play with another woman!" Caroline denied the accusations made by Vishnu.

" Nothing is impossible in this world, Caroline. After all if Erlangga does love you, she will definitely support you and not always go against your wishes."

Caroline mende was legitimate, although she was very sure that her husband was not what Vishnu alleged, but a sudden sense of worry enveloped her heart. And surely he would not willingly let another woman take Erlangga from his hands.

Kayra turned towards the door of Erlangga's open work room, she saw Erlangga had already pinned the briefcase in her hands.

" I will go to Papa's office first, you will be escorted home by Koko. After Papa's office, I'm going to your place." Erlangga told Kayra that she would visit her Papa's office because she wanted to talk about her company's cooperation with Korean business relations.

" Good, sir." said Kayra.

" Go home early, don't wait for office hours to finish" said Erlangga next.

" Good, sir." Although I agree with what Erlangga said but there is no way Kayra came home early alone. What would people look like if they knew he was coming home before work was over. Mistargeted gossip about himself and Wira alone has made him dizzy especially if added to the talk of employees if he goes home quickly for no apparent reason.

" Where is Erlangga going, Kayra?" The woman who saw Erlangga's departure from her room because the door of her room was open asked Kayra.

" Oh ..." The hero turned his steps back into his room.

" Sir ...!" Kayra's voice stopped the steps of the Hero.

" What's up, Kayra?" wira asked as she saw Kayra walking over to him.

Kayra felt like she had to talk about the rumors going around. Kayra wanted to apologize if the gossip made the good name of Wira smeared even though Wira did not do what some people were talking about in the cafeteria. And the departure of Erlangga considered it a good time to talk to Wira.

" I'm sorry, Sir. Can we talk for a second?" ask Kayra.

" Come in ...!" The hero told Kayra to go into his room.

" Good, sir." Kayra stepped inside the assistant's office from Erlangga.

" Sit ...!" Wira lets Kayra sit on her couch in her study.

" Thank you, sir." Kayra then sat her body on a soft sofa facing the working table of Wira.

" What's up? What's the matter, Kayra?" The hero was curious about the thing Kayra wanted to talk about.

" I'm sorry if what I'm about to say makes Mr. Wira uncomfortable."

" What's up?" His eyes narrowed when he heard the sentence spoken by Kayra.

" So, Sir. How do I deliver it, huh?" Kayra looked hesitant and also embarrassed to say what she wanted to say to Wira.

" What's the matter, Kayra? Why are you so scared? Does this have anything to do with your and Erlangga's marriage?" The hero guessed it himself because Kayra did not also say what she wanted to talk about.

" So, Sir. Last afternoon when I went to the cafeteria, I heard some employees talking about me and Dad." Kayra lowered her gaze because she felt very embarrassed by the news she delivered directly to Wira.

" Talking about me and you? About what?" Wira seemed to not understand why she and Kayra were the talk of some employees in the office.

" It seems like someone is spreading slander because I spoke to Mr. Wira here yesterday." Kayra expressed her suspicions to an employee who had seen her crying in front of Wira.

" I'm sorry if I made you the gossip of some of the employees here, sir. They assumed that I was Mr. Wira's mistress." It is a shame to hear the word mistress, but in fact she is like a mistress, although not a mistress of Wira but Erlangga.

Wira's forehead wrinkled, her face even looking solemn in response to the news she had heard from Kayra.

" How dare they spread such gossip." growled Wira.

" I'm sorry, sir. Because of my problem, you've been affected." Kayra still felt guilty that this would not have happened if she had not been Erlangga's mistress.

" You don't have to feel guilty like that, Kayra. You're innocent in this." Wira understood Kayra's current position. He also did not blame Kayra on this matter.

" Sir, where's my husband?" The sound of the door being opened and Caroline's voice from the door of the Hero's room left Kayra and Wira aghast at Caroline's appearance in the room.

" Mother Caroline?"

Kayra and Wira both got up from her seat, Kayra even looked paled. she was afraid Caroline heard her conversation earlier with Wira.

" Mr. Erlangga is going to Mr. Krishna's office, ma'am." The hero then walked over to Caroline.

" Oh, so ..." Caroline looked at Kayra who was looking down. He looked at Wira. " What are you talking about here?" tanyanya was suspicious, because she felt strange her husband's assistant was talking on the sofa with her husband's secretary.

" We are only talking about the plan of cooperation with our relations in Surabaya, Mom. I explained to Kayra because I may not attend Mr. Erlangga because I have to accompany Mr. Krishna to Korea next week." The hero more calmly answered Caroline's question so as not to make the woman suspicious.

" Oh, okay. Mm, Kayra. Can I talk to you?" Caroline suddenly wants to talk to Kayra.

A cold sweat immediately felt in Kayra's palm as Caroline said she wanted to talk to him. What would Caroline talk to him about? Did Caroline hear when Wira mentioned her marriage to Erlangga? That was the question that revolved in Kayra's mind that instantly made her heart shrink.

" W-What's up, Mom?" kayra asked nervously.

" Come to my husband's room!" Caroline then walked out of the room to the room of her husband.

Kayra turned her head towards the Hero before following Caroline's steps as if asking the Hero, 'how is this?'.

The hero nodded slowly indicating that Kayra should follow Caroline and ask that Kayra can be calm.

" What's up, Mom?" When she reached Erlangga's room, Kayra tried to control her beating heart.

" Sit ...!" Caroline tells Kayra to sit on the sofa, which Kayra immediately obeys.

" Kayra, you've been my husband's secretary for a long time, haven't you? Have you ever felt anything strange about your boss?" caroline asked as she sat across her legs.

" I mean Mom?" kayra asked, while in her heart she felt anxious and thought that Caroline was investigating.

" Have you ever seen my husband close to another woman?"

Deg

Kayra's heart skipped a beat faster hearing Caroline's question. His palms were already cold indicating that he was being hit by anxiety.

" You often accompany my husband if you meet clients, right? Has there ever been a beautiful woman who was a client of Erlangga?" Of course Caroline did not think that Erlangga would look for women under her in terms of appearance and economic status so that she did not think it was actually the woman who is currently close to her husband he is Erlangga's own secretary.

" Hmmm, there are some, ma'am." Kayra said honestly. He did accompany Erlangga several times when meeting female clients from the office of Mahadika Gautama.

" What is their attitude towards my husband? Do any of them seem interested in my husband? Or is my husband interested in them?"

Kayra was stunned when she found out that Caroline was suspecting Erlangga. " Did Caroline's mother know that Mr. Erlangga had an affair behind her, huh?" kayra's mind was agitated. Although not her suspected self, but Kayra must remain vigilant if all the facts about her as Erlangga's mistress are revealed.

" I think their attitude is normal, ma'am." said Kayra tried to calm down and act normal.

" I'm asking you to help me keep an eye on my husband, Kayra" Caroline said later.

" That means, Mom?" Kayra's forehead frowned at Caroline's request of him.

" Report to me if you see any other women close to Erlangga." Caroline assigns Kayra the task of keeping an eye on her husband's closeness to the women who might make Erlangga cheat on her.

Kayra swallowed her saliva hearing the task Caroline had given her. How could she keep an eye on Erlangga and report to Caroline if the woman who was close to Erlangga was herself. Not even just close, but now she has status as Erlangga's wife even though it is not legal in the eyes of state law.

" I'll give you a bonus if you can give me info You don't have to worry if Erlangga will fire you if you are caught leaking his secret if my husband is really having an affair. I'll give you a job in lieu of yours here." Caroline promised to reward Kayra for the work she did in watching her husband's movements.

Of course Kayra's Roman fur stood up, she could not imagine what would happen to her if Caroline knew that the woman whom Caroline feared to be Erlangga's mistress was her. And when Caroline found out, if she could still deal with Caroline like she is today.

" O Allah, help your servant." Only prayer and hope can Kayra throw high against the Khaliq, Allah SWT.
