Just Being a Doll Wife
17. Past Times

Tik, no, tik, no.

The sound of the second wall clock is always heard clearly at night. Rion who came out of the bathroom after washing his face immediately dropped the body onto the bed.

His gaze to the ceiling of the room, yet his mind was far past the time penetrating through the memories. Something was creaking in the corner of his eye.

A feeling of hate for someone.

Because your money's gone, but someone's replaced you because of the money, too.

Rion laughed mockingly, both at his past memories, as well as at the girl who was about to enter the courtyard of his life. The contract marriage she will be in. Because he was tired of having to serve his father and mother. She hoped that with this marriage the mother would let her work quietly. And no more bothering with marriage.

Rion is not what people see today, back then, he was very different. A warm-hearted man, who very easily shows his love for the woman he likes. Others can easily see that.

But the events of that day changed everything.

At that time, in a restaurant, after the launch of the latest season of games that received extraordinary acclaim from game lovers.

Rion as CEO of the company invites all employees to eat together. Celebration party. A fairly expensive restaurant he chose.

The warm atmosphere in Rion's gaming company, made the five people in it already like brothers.

Rion never keeps a distance between the boss and the employees. In a sense he treats his employees kindly. They communicate and support each other and work well together.

And among his employees, there he is. Amerla, Erla, that's how she's called, tall girl with long black hair. Beautiful as the night sky contrasts with her pure white face. As the red lips rose with a smile, it was as if the sun was shining in the narrow plot of the building where they had rented an office. Amerla becomes a kind of flower that spoils the eye. She was the lucky girl who captivated Rion.

Meals begin, when orders are lined up on the table. Smoke from burning flesh, making the stomach hungry.

hup, hup, bribe, bribe, eat again and eat constantly. There are those who roast meat there are those who cut, and there are those who stay to eat.

“Kak Rion, thank you, thank you for the bonus,” said a girl while blushing happy to show proof of transfer on her phone. “ I can buy gifts for my mom and dad on their wedding anniversary. Ahhh happy.” Show off again with joy. The number one employee in the company.

Rion who is always royal and returns the hard work of his employees with a fair fee. Make them pay for it also with hard work and loyalty.

They enjoy dinner with chat target ahead of their game that will penetrate the sales figure of 2 million new downloads.

While chewing, chewing and laughing, boasting about their dreams, if until the sale reaches the target. Some want to buy a house in the capital's elite area.

When the situation is very good, suddenly. What Amerla will deliver is like a storm coming after a quiet season. Doubt things.

“Ehmm, uh. I have something to say.” Amerla cleared her throat, then stood up to raise her glass. Next to him Rion smiled, grabbing the tip of Erla's black hair with a loving look.

This beautiful and clever girl is my lover, said a proud look in Rion's eyes. The man kissed the tip of his lover's hair.

Everyone who saw Rion's behavior cleared their throat, even though they were no longer strange. Amerla tapped on her glass, making the other gaze focus again on the girl.

“I'll get married.”

Rion's smirk instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye. His hand fell down along with the black hair of the night sky. Everyone's faces became panicked and tense with the change in their boss' mood.

Rion was surprised, meaning he didn't know why Amerla was talking like that. That was the meaning of the gaze of the three others.

“Erla,” said Rion lirih, even spelled out. He must have felt shaken.

His girlfriend, Amerla, is his lover and design staff. He designed all the clothes that the game characters wore. And the woman he loved.

Rion shows their relationship openly to everyone. He did not hesitate to show his love and affection to Amerla. Everybody knows that.

And suddenly the girl who is your lover, announces she wants to get married. There was no conversation between them before. I don't know what Rion's facial expression is like now. Surprised, scared but also confused.

“Haha, you must be surprised yes.” The crisp sound of Amerla laughter is heard, usually the laughter always thaws the atmosphere in the office. She is a flower that makes the office atmosphere cheerful. Usually is. But it seems not so now. “Because we are like brothers I just announced here yes. I'm getting married next month with Andalusia CEO Mall.”

Everyone immediately looked towards Rion. The one sitting down with the red face extinguished.

Amerla sat back down, grabbing Rion's cold hand. Sweat was clearly visible on his hands. Rion touched Amerla's hand slowly. Let go of the girl's hand that was holding her. Then he got up from his seat without saying a word. Food they still have not spent but the taste of susana does not support at all to chew food.

Rion's headed for the cashier to pay for all the food.

“Erla!” Serge looked at Amerla with annoyance and annoyance.

How can the girl announce her marriage when her status is still dating Rion, that makes Serge even feel anger. It was not him who was betrayed, but anger and hatred just exploded in his heart. Then what about Rion, muttered Serge.

“ Don't you have feelings? At least talk to Rion first. And why are you saying it now, you deliberately wanted to humiliate Rion!”

Others also agree, Amerla's attitude is outrageous. They feel sorry for Rion.

But Amerla did not feel guilty at all. The girl laughed while shrugging her shoulders.

“Kak Serge we are also not children. Brother Rion must understand, I also betrothed my parents.”

While Amerla still wants to defend, Rion comes and throws the keys to Serge's car with a bang.

“If you're done eating, go back to the office. We go first.”

“Good Brother.” Two other employees besides Amerla stood with faces full of guilt and sympathy, bowing their heads as Rion walked out of the room.

But unlike the girl, Amerla only looks surprised because Rion left her.

The girl looks snorted, should Brother Rion not show anger at him right. Usually the older brother never gets angry at him no matter how big of a mistake he has made in the company.

Amerla stared at the other two employees who continued their meal because they felt it was a shame that expensive food was wasted.

While in the parking lot, Rion slammed the door of his car until it shook. Fearfully Serge also got into the car and took the car outside from the parking area.

Fucking erla! you're not human, but you've been dating for so long, why did you dump Rion in public like this. Serge could guess, not only anger but shame must also be raging in Rion's chest right now.

Rion screamed and hit the windshield of the car door beside him. The car pulled over because Serge was afraid of anything happening. Kretek, car door glass cracked.

"Ri, Rion, relax. Are you guys fighting? Erla may not be serious and is working on you."

Ah, looks like Serge is thinking too positively. Although he was also upset and already angry, but if you think again can make what he thinks now right. Maybe Erla is pranking Rion.

You are indeed a talented Serge, what talent it is, ngor talent 🤣

"This isn't the date you started, is it? Or it's not the day you met. Ah shit," Serge scolded himself because his hypothesis was too weird. But he continued the presumption did not make sense. "Think, what day is it! Did you forget something, so Erla was angry and wanted to prank you."

Silence, only the sound of the car driving away could be heard.

"Suddenly Rion screamed again.

"What! just be surprised!"

"Back at the office, haha, it's true that this was the day we first met when he applied for a job at the office." Suddenly the fury disappeared just like that, in Rion's chest. "It seems like he's angry and he's willing to prank me, Ge, there's no way he's gonna betray me. We love each other."

Erla, you're pranking me huh. Just watch out, yeah.

Rion smiled at the scene earlier, acting like his girlfriend was really real.

The car that Serge was carrying increased the speed. The man was even so scared now, Rion's anger was already gone. But, if it turns out Erla is not kidding how!

Aaaa, bodolah, don't know me.
