CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 40; The Haram Child?

“Sorry, only guests can go inside..” the lounge doorkeeper stops the steps of the lead Jagad in front.

“He is with us,” replied Jagad firmly.

“We understand, in addition to the four of you, your people can wait here..” The guard pointed to the outside of the lounge separated by glass. The location is still possible to monitor the situation inside if the people brought by Jagad are his personal bodyguards.

Robin and Alex did not protest much. After exchanging glances with Jagad, they went straight to the place the guard had pointed out. They feel more comfortable not having to be involved in complicated family discussions.

As Jagad had expected, once the four of them entered the hotel VIP lounge, there was no one but the lounge staff inside. The man who is Aleya's husband must have used his wealth to use the entire lounge as his play area. He really does not play around to show how much influence the money.

“Jagad, come with Papa for a minute!” Thomas stood up first. Without waiting for the response of Jagad, he had already preceded going to the end of the lounge. As far as possible from the hearing range of Chrism and Luna.

“You don't fight!” the message of Chrism shortly before Jagad got out of his seat.

“Do not expect too much..” Jagad still had time to tease his mother.

The Heart of Chrism honestly felt an overwhelming anxiety. He did not know whether his son was an adult or still holding a grudge of old wounds. Although Jagad is now with Luna, but Chrisma does not fully believe. He was always worried that the father and son would go together.

Thomas waited for the Jagad which was still a few steps behind him. The worry he felt he could not easily cover up. The old man even repeatedly rubbed his hands that were constantly wet with cold sweat a sign of how depressed he was.

“Why is Papa so worried?” Jagad was surprised to find his father who now looks so anxious.

“You still ask why?” Thomas looked at his son's punishment.

“I really don't understand,” Jagad pretended not to know anything. He deliberately made his father's life was not calm.

“Maybe you used to be able to do as you pleased with Aleya, but she is no longer alone at the moment. You better live by taking care of each of your lives. If until you do the action that hurt him again, we'll be in big trouble.” Thomas' sentence contains advice and a little threat. Since he had not met San Hyuk in person, he had already been looking for a bit more information about the Suwon Group.

Aleya was no longer a teenager who had no protection. Now he could be a threat if Thomas or Jagad take the wrong step.

“What such a thing still needs Papa to say? Papa thinks I can't see it?” The jagad clucked in wonder as it folded its hands in front of its chest. “From a long time ago until now Papa never believed me, actually Papa's real son who the hell?”

Thomas gulped his saliva as soon as he found out Jagad's question. For some reason, the look in the eyes of Jagad made Thomas unable to answer. There is a message that Jagad conveyed from the look of his eyes.

“Why?” Jagad stepped closer to his father, “What because Aleya now looks rich and has power, Papa would rather that bastard child than Papa's legitimate son?”

The phrase The Jagad made Thomas freeze in his place. He did not believe what he heard. Bastard son?

Does that mean that Jagad already knows who Aleya really is?

Thomas could only stare at the Jagad who was now smiling triumphantly. This attitude made Thomas sure that Jagad already knew about the truth.

“Come! Our little princess has arrived!” regardless of Thomas's mess of thoughts, Jagad first left the person when he saw Aleya who entered the lounge.

“He really changed..” muttered Jagad as he saw Aleya's increasingly clear figure. He glanced out of the lounge right where Robin was sitting. As he guessed, the man who usually had a heart as strong as steel seemed to lose his identity. He just stared blankly at the perfectly breezed figure entering the hotel lounge.

“You look very nervous, Honey!” San Hyuk chuckled as he returned Aleya's hand grip on her arm. He could feel Aleya's hand that felt so cold even though he had held it from earlier.

“I'm fine...” replied Aleya unsure.

“You are very beautiful.. really. This hotel is ours and you have me standing next to you.” San Hyuk tried to relieve the anxiety felt by his wife who now looks more beautiful than usual. She deliberately gave her natural makeup maybe so that her natural beauty is not covered by makeup.

“Why Oppa teases me anyway.”.

“I only speak as is..”.

Aleya and San Hyuk were still throwing jokes at each other until the elevator door opened. They then stepped out and were immediately greeted by the guards.

“Mr...Madame... Your guests have already come..” the guard info while guiding the two of them towards the intended guest.

“Thank you..” Aleya said as soon as the guard said goodbye.

“You’re my wife now and I really love you.” without Aleya guessing, San Hyuk whispered the magic word in his ear. Aleya turned her head so that she could look at San Hyuk's face. His face slowly met in red hearing the words coming out at unpredictable moments.

“What’re you doin.” Aleya could only clutch San Hyuk's arm while returning her smile that was so wide because it had managed to make Aleya forget her nervousness. He can now walk more casually towards his host family.

“For a long time no see little sister!” the greeting of the corn made him frown. Didn't he barge into his apartment a few days ago without permission?

Jagad walked up to Aleya and hugged her tightly to her true sister's service. Aleya naturally might return Jagad's embrace so as not to make the situation tonight feel awkward. There were two strangers among the family.

“Welcome, Brother!” Aleya just followed the groove that Jagad was playing. He gave San Hyuk the opportunity to observe and get to know his family. They all then began to introduce themselves one by one before occupying their respective seats.

“Sorry because I haven't been to Indonesia.” San Hyuk tried to melt the atmosphere between them. It was clear that in that silence there was a threat-pitched dagger that was thrown at each other from the look of their eyes, except for Luna.

“It's okay I understand your busyness,” Thomas smiled awkwardly replied his new ghost.

“No, I should have done that from a long time ago,” San Hyuk can still feel sad about the fact that has been ignored. Although that was what he had hoped for, he did not expect his relationship with Aleya to go smoothly.

“You really are like the drama figures I used to see!” muttered Luna involuntarily which made the table laugh spontaneously.
