HURT SECOND WIFE'S
HSW CHAPTER 27. Attention Gala
✨✨ Happy Reading!✨✨
"Ah, well," said Mentari resigned and followed Gala's steps.
After a while of walking it turned out Gala stopped at the clothes spot. The mentor simply looked in awe at the several suits of clothing without even touching them.
"Why bengong? Choose what you like!" gala's orders.
The mentari just shakes. Although he was interested in some set of clothes there, but he was unlikely to accept the gift of another man. If Bintang knew he'd be angry and misunderstood.
"No, I don't want to buy clothes" Mentari said.
"Your appearance must be changed!" said Gala even though she likes the appearance of Mentari now, far from the impression of luxury and sexy. But Gala only pity when she saw the star that seemed to prioritize Katrina than the woman in front of her. Moreover, Gala knew Katrina was pregnant. It is certain that the stars will be more attentive and spend a lot of time in Katrina's place.
Who knows by changing the appearance of Mentari can make Bintang think twice to ignore and leave Mentari alone in the apartment.
Mentari.
"If not, then I'm sure the stars will be more comfortable living in Katrina's place. I know what kind of woman's dress sense the Bintang likes" Gala said.
"The stars don't matter how I dress." Mentari is still adamant not to accept the Gala gift.
"It's okay if you don't want to, but I'm sure Bintang will often be rare in his own apartment compared to Katrina's. The star once told me that one of your weaknesses compared to Katrina is not being able to keep up appearances." Gala scare.
Mentari fell silent, trying to digest Gala's words. What that means is that Bintang is more happy with Katrina than her appearance is far from fashionable.
For a moment Mentari recalled the incident this morning, almost all employees knew that Katrina was the wife of the Star while her status no one knew except Gala, Katrina, and the Star itself though though second wife but status is the lawful wife. People underestimate themselves. Maybe true Gala said it because of the appearance of her village. Though Mentari has tried to look his best according to himself.
"How do I accept my offer to buy you clothes? I just want to help you."
"But there's no condition sir?" Mentari must be alert, afraid that behind the goodness of the Star there is a hidden purpose. As the saying goes, 'there are shrimp behind the rock.'
"No, I'm sincere in helping you. I don't want the Stars to finally choose that woman" Gala said. Although he felt a strange feeling for this woman, but because he saw there is so great love in the eyes of the Mentari for the Stars, he also wanted to see the Mentari happy with the Stars.
"Why do you support me more than Kate? Isn't he the secretary? Does this have anything to do with the regulations in the Father's Company that does not allow married couples to work in one company?" Of course Mentari was confused, for him Gala was strange.
"First it's true, I'm afraid it's making the employees protest. That regulation was made when papa was leading this company. There are some women who choose to quit their jobs because they choose to marry one office employee here. There are also employees who succumb to his wife by choosing to work in another company."
"Why haven't the rules changed, sir?" ask Mentari wonder. Toh Gala is the owner of the Company. It is up to him to change his rules. He has full rights to company policy.
"Can't, I don't want the performance of the employees to decline. Even this morning, I saw Bintang and Katrina were not excited for the meeting because they seemed to have a problem. What if this happens to a lot of employees? I don't want the office environment to be so conducive. Likewise, if there is a conflict in the office that they might bring home, then this time their household environment will not be conducive."
Mentari nodded in understanding. So that is the reason why some offices prohibit employees from marrying a coworker, if forced one of the couples must choose out of the company.
"In addition to avoiding positional games as well. It could be that the high position attracts the husband or the wife to rise to office."
"It's absolutely right sir. That's the reason."
"It is important that there is an equal distribution of income in the community so that not only those families who have jobs, but other families can also get the opportunity to work in my company as well."
"Great thought, Father."
"It's normal" said Gala flat. "Yes, don't think too much about getting the clothes you like!"
"But Mr ...."
"Quick wrap Ma'am! This one! This one! And this one too."
"Well sir," answered the woman as her hands deftly picked up the Gala-appointed clothes, folded them and wrapped them.
"Oh yeah this one too!"
"Good Sir."
"Geez sir, that's a lot. One is enough. What would I say if Mas Bintang asked from whom?"
"Say it bought Om Winata is fine," said Gala without burden.
"But if Papa ...."
"Let's just relax I'll tell Om Winata about everything. I'm sure he'll be supportive." Actually Gala had heard Arumi talk with Mentari and Mr. Winata, but Gala immediately moved away.
But when Arumi invites Mr. Winata to leave the place, Gala pretends to just come and pretends not to know everything.
"But ...."
"Bak quickly packs and gives it all to this woman. I'm in a hurry to get back to the office."
"Well Sir!" The woman's hand was moving more and more agile.
"It's Mommy." The woman held out a handbag to Mentari. Gala walked away.
"Thank you Ma'am." Mentari stepped towards the trolley he had just left behind. There he saw that the trolley was gone.
After looking to the right and to the left finally Mentari saw the trolley was already in front of the cashier with Gala holding it.
"Geez, what do people want?" muttered Mentari when he saw Gala told the cashier to immediately wrap the groceries without a price check first.
"Mr! What are you doing?" mentari Protest. "I have money to pay for everything."
"Why have money when you're afraid to use it. Let me drive you home!"
Mentari.
"I'm taking it, can't refuse! If something happens to you, who will be responsible and helpful?"
"I can go home by myself." Mentari does not like the attitude of Gala like that. The stars never get too protective of her. Why would Gala who was a nobody even do that to her.
"I'm not someone else, I'm a cousin of the Star. The star is my sister, so I'm just helping her. I'm also going to your apartment to meet the stars. So we all go home together."
"Go home? Both?"
"No, there's a driver in the car" Gala said, understanding Mentari's concerns.
"Come on!"
"All right." Mentari also followed Gala's footsteps to the car parked in the supermarket yard.
Seriate....
