First Wife's Mission
Episode 52 - Listening to Stories

Niana ate her food slowly, not because she wanted to maintain her image, but was hesitant. At a steakhouse he is currently. And in front of him, already sat a Dominic who was no less handsome than Dany and even Endri. Maybe compared to the two of them, Dominic's appearance does tend to be more eccentric, with his natural blonde hair. Dominic is not an overseas crossbreed man.

"What's up, Niana? You seem to want to tell me something?" dominic then put the plate and fork on the plate. Her eyes were focused on Niana. "What happened last night?" it was after that.

Niana swallowed the saliva and gradually looked at Dominic. His feelings were very upset and especially embarrassed. If Dany were in front of him at this time, maybe he could be more free in words and even expression. Even though Dominic is one of his best friends, the man is already too far away from him and not as close as Dany is to him. Niana was embarrassed and awkward.

However, Niana nodded her head. "Yes, Dom," he said. "And it looks like I need your help, no, but .. maybe this lunch time, I have other intentions after deciding to accept this offer from you," he said honestly.

"Ah, I see ... So, you accepted my offer because you want it, do you?" dominic Sahut. He did not feel disappointed, and he was happy to be able to help Niana. "Please, it's okay. Sometimes I can help you. And ... mm, actually I also want to know what happened to you guys. I mean you and Endri. Since when did he do it, Niana?"

"It's been over a month since she married that woman, and still in series because of my request. While their affair, I don't know when it's about to start. But, for sure, the woman is already pregnant" said Niana. He took a deep breath, trying to hold back all the feelings that were popping up. "But, please, you don't ask me why I didn't ask for a divorce. Because I know what's best for myself. And again, at this time, actually .. I accepted your lunch offer, because I want to earn my husband's trust again after what I said last night until you and Miss Arsyita know that he's been having an affair."

Dominic gasped, until he was short of breath. "Why, Niana? Why do you want to gain that man's trust again? He has hurt you and .. and .. Your decision is right to humiliate him in front of me. But ...? Uh! Niana, do you still want to survive that wedding? One month more, I think it's been too long to be in such a bad situation!"

"I told you I know what's best for myself. And I wasn't that stupid, until I chose to stay until now. So, please, don't try to accuse me, Dom."

Dominic laughed wryly as his heart was broken. The woman he knew as a cheerful and kind girl chose to stay in a broken marriage! And Endri's been so crazy for wasting such a woman. Visually, Niana looks beautiful. And according to Dominic's memory, Niana is so good at managing finances. Niana's position in Dany's company also counted high. But why did Endri commit fraud?

"Dany ... Dany knows everything?" Dominic asked.

Niana nodded slowly. "He was the first to know, other than my domestic assistant," he replied.

"You're really that close to Dany, aren't you?"

"We've been close since college, haven't we? But after marriage, I stayed away from her. Despite being in the same company, during those two years, we hardly ever say hello. I always keep my distance from him."

"But, the first person you met after being hurt by your husband was him?"

"Yes." Yeah." Niana nodded again. "Because he can help me and he's closer to me."

"And maybe .. he's worth more to you than all three of your friends, right?"

Niana swallowed the saliva and looked at Dominic with an unexpected feeling. "It's not like that, Dom! Since long ago pun—"

"W-what?"

"Aren't you rumored to be close to your boss right now?"

"Th-that ...."

Niana looked depressed. And Dominic admitted his mistake because it had made the woman confused. He should have given comfort. But he just made a mistake. I don't know. He just feels angry. One of his friends has been destroyed by an irresponsible fool. If he had been desperate to express his love for Niana, there is a possibility that he is currently beside Niana.

"I'm sorry, Niana. I've been too emotional. Surely you have difficulties and surely you are very embarrassed because of the condition of your household. Sorry .. 'cause I'm putting pressure on you, Niana. I just ... get angry, because that guy has hurt you" Dominic said.

Niana smiled wryly and shook her head. "It's okay, Dom!" said. "I just wanted to tell you my true intentions when I accepted your offer. I feel bad and at the same time feel guilty. But, if it were not like this, everything I have done up to this point would only be in vain and fail. Stay a little while longer, and I won't ruin my plan."

"You have a plan?"

"Yes. I told you I'm not that stupid. I know best, even if I have to sacrifice myself to do everything I've planned."

"What are you planning? Ah, that's also if I can tell."

Niana took a breath. "Too long to explain it. But one day, I might be able to ask you for help again, Dom."

"I'll definitely help you, Niana. You're my friend and your parents are like my own parents. You are as valuable as my own family. And if what you're planning is to punish that person, I'll be happy to help you, Niana. And Dany must have done a lot for you, right?"

Niana nodded slowly. "She has helped me too much, even to the point of sacrificing her name to be a warm gossip of the employees. And it's true that you asked earlier, there are rumors that say that we have a special relationship. But, Dom, I'm really not feeling good about Dany. Even I had thought of not bothering her too much anymore. She is Miss Arsyita's sister, she is also a celebrity. If the rumors get worse, I'm really gonna feel guilty."

"Then, to me. Just put myself in trouble, Niana."

"Ah .. te-thank you."

When he was about to say it again, Dominic was forced to stop his intention when the ring on Niana's phone sounded. The woman was no longer focused on him, but on the thing. Niana's eyelids seemed to vibrate while staring at the phone screen. And it looks like what Niana is planning to do with using lunch with Dominic is already almost happening.
