Honey And Toxins (Not a Common Contract)
Chapter 16: People with secrets

Nara turned to the source of the voice that Ammar revealed. He turned his back, "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I ask, what party are you celebrating with a Man?"

Sam stood up, and approached Nara. "Who is he?"

"He's Ammar. Ammar introduced him to the detective who helped with the murder..."

"I'm your husband, why did you just mention my name?" cut Ammar staring intently, he also stepped closer towards Nara.

"ohh. This is the contract husband you're talking about." Sam gave a smile, then retreated while looking thinly at Ammar's face.

"You're talking about our marriage to her? It's clearly written on the contract you didn't read?" Ammar played down his voice, but remained tight and sounded annoyed.

"Don't blame him, to help the Client sometimes We need his history. Whether it was a fake relationship or not, it was very influential for Us." said Sam defended, he could not bear to see Nara intimidated by Ammar's gaze.

Of course Ammar was getting annoyed, he clenched his hand. How dare a stranger like Sam talk about his personal affairs.

"We're not just two Ammar. There are two others who.."

"I know. "the ketus Ammar cut, he could see from the four glasses presented there.

"Now go home, I have something to talk to you about!" he pulled Nara's arm away from there.

"Going home? isn't this still working hours? What about the office.."

"Can't you ask too many questions!" rutuk Ammar again cut off Nara's speech.

"I'm sorry." That's all he said, he ran a small step adjusting Ammar's pace that walked quickly while gnawing his hand.

...-...

...-...

Arriving at home, Ammar immediately pointed at Nara with his sharp gaze. He waited for Nara to explain the situation, but Nara, who did not understand the meaning of Ammar's gaze, even guessed whether Ammar would actually put him back in prison.

"You don't want to explain?" ketus Ammar opened the voice.

"Explain what..?" nara asked quietly, her voice barely even audible.

"How far do they know about us? Did you also reveal.."

"No. I'm just explaining to them that we're under contract marriage for mutual benefit. He doesn't know who you are, let alone your family background."

"Him? means you just exchanged stories with that one guy?" ask Ammar again,

"mmm.. She's the head there, so she should know the most." now Nara dares to raise her eyes to look at Ammar.

"If you were, what were you doing there?" Because of unexpected incidents that happened to him, lately he has always suspected everyone around him, including Ammar.

"You think you have the right to ask?" Ammar threw away his face, then crossed his legs on the table.

"I feel entitled." said Nara.

"cch.. Who are you? You're just a stranger so don't think about interfering in my business."

"Then I'll ask as your wife."

Ammar looked back at Nara's face, looking at the girl's twinkling round eyes. There is no fear or respect for the feeling. But somehow the mood of Ammar suddenly felt calm after previously raging like in the lunge of a hot storm.

"Are you not the one who said it yourself, even though Our marriage is a contract. It remains legal in the eyes of the law. So let me ask you as your wife, not as a stranger." she stared fixedly at the man who held the status of her husband. Not without cause of suspicion, Irene did not say Ammar did not want to mingle even for business, let alone meet outside. Just met at the office he would not if not for something important.

Then what kind of important thing makes Ammar go out and meet someone in exactly private like that?

"I went to the director of the hospital where you worked first." that answer just flowed from Ammar's mouth. Though he was very upset because Nara was presumptuously questioning it.

...~...

After talking to someone over the phone, Irene rushed to Ammar's room. His face seemed to hold anger, as well as his steps were so level stomping to the floor very quickly.

Without knocking, he immediately opened the door to Ammar's room. But it was not a door that Nara used to see, it was in the Ammar clothing room which was directly connected to the workspace, and Irene's room.

Ammar, who had just closed his eyes, turned his head, lifted the blanket and sat down to look at Irene.

"What did you do last afternoon? Why did you meet the Director of that hospital!" denounced Irene, as if all her plans were falling apart due to Ammar's actions.

"I'm investigating her, because Nara suspects that Director was the cause of her Grandma's death."

Irene sat on the edge of Ammar's bed, her fixed gaze not separated from Ammar's face.

"Don't get involved with Nara's plan! We can be dragged in too if this is the case. If he suspects us too how?"

"Why does he suspect us? What are we doing?" Ammar went back inside the blanket and covered his face.

"Ammar, that girl is not as stupid as you think. So stop taking care of the business, just do our plan to get this all done."

"hmm.." said Ammar lazy.

...-...

...-...

Meanwhile in her room Nara was thinking hard. What is Ammar doing with the director? Is it just business? Then what kind of business dealings involving software companies and the health sector meet?

Having agreed to share the slightest information, Nara immediately sent a message to Sandra regarding the meeting of Ammar and the Director. Did Ammar really meet the Director, and what exactly Ammar's goal was. Of course Nara hoped Ammar would help, but Ammar was not the one who would do anything special for free.

...~~...

The next day....

The sun did not appear to be shining completely. Along with the waves and the chirping of morning birds, Ms. Mina vigorously cleaned the yard of her stall.

"Good morning Mina Mina." said someone who just got out of the car.

Ms. Mina turned around, then her smile flashed as she saw who had come.

"Good morning Director Ryan. Too bad I haven't opened the stall yet, but if you want breakfast. I can cook a special menu for you hehehe.." she put down her broom, then let Director Ryan in.

"Your offer never disappoints. After the night vigil I felt very hungry." Ryan said as he stepped in to follow Ms. Mina.

"How's your neighbor doing?" pull yourself up on the back of the chair.

"It seems chaotic." said Ms. Mina, she was struggling to prepare breakfast for Director Ryan.

"I heard he was married to a rich man, do you know who he was?"

"Seeing from his changed appearance, it seemed to be true that way. I heard it's the guy from the biggest company in Asia. But I don't know for sure what the guy is like."

Nara never told who the person who married her, how her background, and what business she lived. It was all written in the contract at the earliest line.

"Once. It is worth so daring to rise to the surface without enough oxygen. You guys are pretty close, aren't you? Can you find out who the man who supported her dared to shake my position."

"I'll try.." said Ms. Mina.

Let how he knows the nature of Nara, then it will not be difficult to find a gap. If she is lucky, she may also invite Nara and her husband to dinner there.
