BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Forget Ambition!

" Good morning, sir." Seeing the appearance of Erlangga from the door, Atik immediately approached and greeted his master. Atik was surprised by Erlangga's arrival this morning.

" Where, Kayra?" asked Erlangga to Atik who greeted him

" Mrs is in the kitchen, sir. I've forbidden Madam to cook, but Madam insisted." Atik was afraid that Erlangga would be angry and blamed him for letting Kayra struggle with kitchen furniture even though Kayra was the wife of her employer.

" It's okay. I asked him to cook for me." Erlangga set foot towards the kitchen with Atik walking after him.

Erlangga saw Kayra who was putting food into a container. A smile on his lips. She was happy to see Kayra who quickly complied with what she wanted. Erlangga looked back as she realized Atik was following his steps. With a movement of his hand Erlangga told Atik to go away and not bother him and Kayra. And Atik quickly obeyed what Erlangga asked. After Atik away, Erlangga then walked slowly to settle so that Kayra did not realize his arrival.

Kayra closed her eyes as her kiss sensed the masculine scent that had gotten used to stopping by her sense of immersion. He immediately blinked his eyes as he was hallucinating with Erlangga's presence just because he smelled the perfume Erlangga always wore. But Kayra gasped in shock when she suddenly felt a hand coiling even now tightly around her waist, and the masculine scent that she had breathed out earlier now really felt real going into her nasal cavity.

" What are you cooking?" whispered Erlangga who was hugging Kayra from behind.

" B-father?" Kayra was stunned by Erlangga's presence that morning in her place.

" B-father is here?" As if in disbelief with Erlangga's presence, Kayra continued to blink her eyes.

" What do you see near you?" Erlangga then gave a kiss on Kayra's cheek.

" What are you cooking? Hmmm, the scent is very appetizing, it feels like my stomach is getting hungry." Erlangga pulled the chair on the dining table and sat on it.

" What's going on in the morning?" Kayra was still astonished by Erlangga's arrival this morning.

" I want to have breakfast with you. Hurry up, I feel like I'm too hungry. You take your mother for breakfast together." Erlangga seemed to be impatient to eat the food that had been cooked by Kayra.

" Mr ...!" Erlangga yelled for ART in the house.

" I, Mister." Atik who was not far from the kitchen immediately ran when Erlangga called anyone near the kitchen.

" Get Sari's mother for breakfast together." Erlangga ordered Atik to call his mother-in-law to eat breakfast together.

" Okay, Mister." With a small run Atik followed the orders of Erlangga calling Sari's mother for breakfast.

Kayra who was still surprised by the arrival of Erlangga immediately took a plate for breakfast himself, Erlangga and also his mother.

" Do you cook yourself?" tanya Erlangga noticed the cuisine that was in the dining table.

" Yes, sir." said Kayra. " Do you like this food?" kayra asked because she was afraid Erlangga did not like the food menu she cooked.

" It seems I will like whatever you cook" Erlangga said with a happy smile. This is what she really wants, having a wife who can take care of and serve her like a wife to her husband.

" sir? Is the master here?" Sari's mother who had arrived in the dining room looked shocked by the presence of Erlangga who had sat facing the dining table.

" Mom, let's have breakfast first." Erlangga asked his mother-in-law to join him.

Sari's mother turned to Kayra, she wanted to get an answer from her son why Erlangga could be in the house so early, when last night the man had said goodbye to her.

" Sir since when was he here?" ask Mother Sari wonder.

" Mom, just call me by name, don't use the name Master. I'm Mom's daughter-in-law, I don't think it's appropriate for Mom to call me that." Hearing that his mother-in-law still called him Tuan, Erlangga asked that Ibu Sari stop calling him that.

" I'm not used to it." Ibu Sari felt that she was still not worthy to be the mother-in-law of a rich boss like Erlangga.

" Mom should get used to it, so that your child is also used to not calling me 'Mother' if outside the office." Erlangga deliberately insinuated Kayra who still called him formally despite not being in the office environment and outside work hours.

Kayra immediately glared as Erlangga insinuated, especially when she saw the man was poking at her mocking smile.

" All right, son." Sari's mother chose the name Nak to Erlangga as she called Kayra.

" Did Mom teach Kayra how to cook? I tried the food and it turned out delicious. I really like Kayra's cooking, Mom." Erlangga praised Kayra's expertise in cooking.

" Yes, Kayra was happy to help Mom in the kitchen since she was a teenager. Not just a job in the kitchen, she was happy to help with Mom's work at home." Did not mean to boast Kayra in front of Erlangga but that is the reality, until Ibu Sari said how Kayra actually diligently helped him do his daily homework.

" Means I'm very lucky to get Kayra." Erlangga again developed a smile, indeed an aura of happiness on the handsome face of the man.

Erlangga's words made Kayra and her mother look at each other. They do not think being Erlangga's mistress is not a fortune according to Kayra.

" I just hope that Kayra does not suffer with this marriage, Nak Erlangga" Ms. Sari hopes that Kayra's position as the wife of the series Erlangga does not make her daughter suffer. Not suffering in material terms, but because of the inner pressure if you have to get rejection from the Erlangga family if Kayra's status is one day known by the Erlangga family.

" I guarantee Kayra won't suffer, ma'am. I won't let anyone harass Kayra, even if it's my own family." Erlangga convinces Ms. Sari not to worry and trust her if she will be able to protect Kayra.

***

After performing the Dzuhur prayer, Kayra immediately prepared a lunch for Erlangga with provisions that she cooked from home. He headed for a special kitchen room for office officials who were usually served by Ms. Nina.

" Mom, I asked for a spoon plate with a glass for Mr. Erlangga." Kayra asked Nani's mother for help to prepare the tableware for Erlangga.

" Have you ordered the food, Mother?" ask Ms. Nani because if Erlangga does not eat out of the office, then she is the one who ordered food for Erlangga in the office cafeteria.

" You've bought food outside, ma'am." It was impossible for Kayra to say that Erlangga would eat with the food brought by her until she had to lie to Mother Nani.

After getting the tableware for Erlangga and also for herself, Kayra returned to her place and took the food container that contained rice, which she had eaten, the side dishes and also the fruit that he brought from the house on his desk then went into Erlangga's study.

Kayra arranged the tableware and also the food on the dining table. After Wira who had been talking with Erlangga said goodbye to lunch outside the office. Kayra then brought rice to Erlangga.

" Add more rice, sauteed his fiance a lot of love." Because this morning he had tried sauteed tuna beans made by Kayra was indeed delicious to make Erlangga ask Kayra to add a portion of food for him.

Ddrrtt

The sound of Erlangga's cell phone rang as Erlangga was about to feed the food into his mouth. Erlangga glanced at the phone on his desk, but he had no intention of picking up the phone until the ringing of the phone died.

Shortly afterwards, Erlangga's phone rang again but Erlangga still ignored it, making Kayra stand up to want to take the phone and hand it to Erlangga.

" Leave it!" Seeing Kayra about to pick up the phone, Erlangga forbade Kayra and told Kayra to sit down again to continue eating.

" If the phone is important how is it, sir?" Kayra felt Erlangga needed to see who was calling at the moment. He kept stepping towards Erlangga's desk to see who contacted Erlangga.

Kayra saw the name of Wira that appeared on the screen of Erlangga's phone. He immediately showed the phone to Erlangga.

" Mr. Wira called, sir." Kayra told him who called Erlangga.

" Bring it here ...!" Erlangga asked Kayra to give up her phone.

" What's up, Mr Wira?" Erlangga immediately picked up a phone call from Wira, because Wira was not long out of the office but suddenly his assistant called him, so he thought there was something important to be said by Wira.

" I'm sorry I interrupted your lunch, Mr. Erlangga. I just wanted to let you know if I saw Mother Caroline's car drive into the office yard. Looks like Caroline's mom is going to see you, sir."

Erlangga's eyes were rounded when Wira said she saw Caroline's car in the yard of her office building.

" Okay, thanks for the info, Mr. Wira." Erlangga immediately turned off the phone call from Wira then got up from his seat

" There was Caroline here" said Erlangga immediately got up and pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Kayra gasped to hear Caroline in the office. Kayra quickly cleaned up her lunch at Erlangga's dining room table because she was afraid of being caught by Caroline if she ate a table with Erlangga.

" You hide in that room." Erlangga pointed at his resting room. He also helped bring Kayra's lunch container and brought her to the room.

" Seat your food and wait here. Close the door and don't open the door before I call, okay!?" Erlangga's orders tell Kayra to hide in her room.

" I don't want to wait here, I'd better get out, sir." Kayra ran outside Erlangga's work room and left her food container in Erlangga's rest room.

" Is my husband here, Kayra?" As Kayra walked out of Erlangga's room, Caroline was already welcoming at the door with a handsome man next to her.

" Hmmm, a-there, Mom. You're eating inside." As much as possible Kayra tried not to be nervous dealing with Carolone, but at this time her heartbeat was racing very strongly, because it was a shock that Caroline was right in front of him at this time.

" Why is your face pale like that? Are you sick again?" ask Caroline back.

" Ah, no, Mom. I was just shocked." Kayra was still holding onto her chest.

" Oh ..." Caroline then entered Erlangga's room. While Vishnu who came with Caroline continued to look at Kayra with clinging.

" I'm sorry, is there something wrong with me, sir?" Feeling noticed Vishnu without a blink makes Kayra pay attention to her own body while looking for what is strange with her.

" You're Erlangga's secretary?" tanya Vishnu looked at Kayra from the tip of the hair down.

" I-iya, sir." said Kayra a little nervous because it was noticed as such by Vishnu.

" Beautiful .." said Vishnu pulling one corner of his lips up.

Kayra's forehead was wrinkled to hear Vishnu's words, but she did not want to be inedible with Vishnu's praise.

" Are you interested in becoming a model?" ask Vishnu to Kayra.

" No, sir." - denied Kayra quickly.

" A, what a pity. Though you are very suitable if you become a model," said Vishnu.

" I'm sorry, Sir. I'm not talented with the model world." Kayra gave an answer so that Vishnu did not offer it.

" I can teach you how to be a model. Although your posture is not as high as Caroline, but you are no less beautiful than Caroline." Vishnu persuades Kayra to become a model.

Kayra intends to return to her place, she does not want to serve the words of Caroline's male friend who is trying to influence her.

" No, Honey! I don't want us to be apart! I don't want to end this marriage!"

Caroline's screaming voice rang out from inside Erlangga's unclosed workspace, making Kayra stop her steps with a heart palpitating and heart racing hearing the words spoken from Caroline's mouth that refused to part.

When Caroline entered the work room Erlangga ...

" Hey, honey ... Why didn't you wake me up this morning when you left for the office?" caroline asked as she pulled up the dining chair and sat on it. " What did you eat, honey?" Caroline noticed Erlangga who looked greedy eating food.

" What are you doing here, Caroline?" ask Erlangga.

" Dear, I want to tell you that I got an offer to become a famous cosmetic advertising model from Germany. The ad will be shown across the Asian continent." Caroline was very proud to tell about the job offer she received.

Erlangga glanced and noticed the face of his wife who showed a happy face.

" And what does this have to do with your coming here with that advertising offer?" It seems Erlangga can already guess where Caroline is going.

" I have to go to Germany tomorrow to talk about the ad offer, honey." Caroline said her plan would go to the Advertising and cosmetics company in Germany who would choose her as a cosmetic advertising model.

Erlangga put down his spoon and fork when he heard Caroline say that the woman who is still his legal wife planned to go to Germany.

" How long will you continue to pursue your ambition, Caroline?" Erlangga even got up from his seat. Every time Caroline asked for permission to pursue her career, there was always a debate between the couple.

" Dear, this is a golden opportunity for me." Caroline tried to persuade Erlangga.

" Gold chance, best chance .. how many times have you always used that excuse for your ambition!?" furious Erlangga, it seems he was already upset with every reason given by Caroline that made his wife rarely accompany him at home.

" But this is really an important advertisement for my career, dear." Caroline defended herself if indeed what was in front of her was the best chance to catapult her name as a world-class model.

" We can't go on like this, Caroline. We better think again if we can still survive this marriage of ours!?" Erlangga seems to have been pessimistic about the fate of his marriage to Caroline.

" Dear, don't talk like that!" Caroline certainly did not like the words spoken by her husband.

" You've always prioritized your career, Caroline! What is my lack? Is my treasure not enough to satisfy you until you have to work?" ketus Erlangga's.

" Dear, this isn't about the material. It's about my desire, my ambition to be a famous model." Caroline brushed off the notion that Erlangga thought she was just after the material.

" Why are you getting married if your career is more important to you, Caroline?" tanya Erlangga pitched insinuating.

" I'm married because I love you, baby. When you asked me to get married, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't stop me from pursuing my career as a model? Why now do you always blame me if I leave because of my job? Why are you always fighting about this constantly?" Caroline thinks that Erlangga is too selfish because she cannot understand her wishes.

" If that's what you're still keeping, I don't think there's any more reason for us to stay in this marriage, Caroline! Let's just end our marriage!" firmly Erlangga stared intently at his wife who had always opposed him and never paid attention to his ban.

Caroline was shocked to hear Erlangga's words intending to end the marriage with her.

" No, Honey! I don't want us to be apart! I don't want to end this marriage!" caroline shouted with tears starting to flow down her cheeks.

" Do you want to forget your ambitions and leave your career as a model?" Erlangga challenged Caroline to abandon what the woman had pioneered since her teens.

" You're too selfish, Erlangga!" Vishnu's voice from the direction of the door was heard in a furious tone. When he heard Caroline's scream, Vishnu who was talking to Kayra directly entered the workroom of her husband from Caroline.

" You don't have to interfere, Vishnu!" Erlangga stared with the eyes of a starving eagle ready to pounce on its prey. He dislikes the appearance of Vishnu because he considers that it was Vishnu who always influenced Caroline to continue to pursue her ambitions as a model.

" I'm entitled to interfere because Caroline is my model. He's under contract with an agency and can't just stop that contract." Not wanting to lose Caroline as her flagship model, Vishnu seeks to defend Caroline.

What Vishnu said made Erlangga even more inflamed, he felt challenged by his wife's manager. His pride as a man and as a husband felt underestimated by Vishnu and Caroline. His hand was even clenched and ready to throw a fist into the face of the manager of his wife.
