Lies
Orphanage

Despite wanting to refuse, Raya still has to accept her destiny as a director of the social foundation Reviano Group. It is thanks that Raya has to work even though she works together with her husband. Karan had planned this. He deliberately made Raya a director so that they could work in the same scope. Working in the office and in the same room. Today Karan does prefer to work at the head office instead of occupying the CEO's room in his personal company. The goal is only one, so that he can take the wife there. Because of the arrival of Karan and Raya that the entire office became excited.

Karan is rarely there. Maybe only once a month, even if there is a big problem. And for the size of a company as big as Reviano Group, big problems are rare. Since handled by the father until now processed by Karan, the company has a very good system. There may be only one problem that occurs several times in the company, namely misappropriation of funds and abuse of power. The company has also experienced several data leaks due to traitors infiltrating the company. But since Karan took over, by implementing the business systems of several well-known companies in New York, finally the problems can be handled well.

“This is our foundation office, dear. You will work here,” Karan said as he opened the door to a room located on the 25th floor, one floor below Karan's room. Actually, the social foundation does not work in the main building, but in other buildings. But since Raya is the director now, Karan does not want the woman to be far away from him. Trouble he was looking for the idea to always be with Raya, how could he tell the wife to stay away? As a result, Karan also kicked out the office of the marketing director who originally occupied the room.

Raya stepped in. Its name is a social foundation that should show simplicity. But what Raya sees today is much different. The room was so luxurious. It's too much for a foundation office. Especially the director's room in the corner of the floor. When Raya opened it, it was like she was in Karan's study in their house. All the furniture available is the best quality even though it still looks minimalist.

“How Dear? Do you like it? If you don't like it, I can have Ian replace it as soon as possible,” asked Karan who was curious about the look on Raya's face. The woman looked surprised at the beginning, then suddenly a frown appeared on her forehead. Raya also involuntarily let out a long sigh as if she was harboring an uneasiness. In Karan's eyes, it's possible that Raya doesn't like the contents of her office now. And Karan will change the room as soon as possible. Even if Raya asked to use the main director's room, Karan would easily give it to Raya.

“No, no. This is enough Karan. It's more than enough. I don't need anything else,” said Raya refused. It was pretty awkward being there. First because his new job is so heavy. Second from the looks of the employees in the room. Raya was burdened with that look, but she could understand it. It is unfair to see this inequality. Just because Raya's status is the wife of the company's leader, Raya was immediately appointed as the director of the foundation. While those employees have to work hard to maintain their positions and jobs from new people who are recruited by the company every year. Like it or not, this is the reality of life. In addition to hard work, relationships are also needed to maintain their respective positions.

“Good then.” Karan looks satisfied with Raya's answer. He approached the table and pressed a button on the phone. “Can you come to the director's room now?” karan told someone. Shortly after, a man knocks on the door of the room and Karan invites him in.

“Honey, this is Ruben. He is the deputy director of the foundation. He will help you so that you do not feel difficulties,” Karan explained.

Raya reached out her hand and the deputy director returned the hand. “Raya Drisana, please help Mr. Ruben,” he said politely.

Ruben smiled briefly before fixing his glasses. “Good Mom. Congratulations on your new post.”

Ruben looked good in the eyes of Raya. There is no strange gurgle that Raya saw from the look of Ruben. Like a workaholic, Ruben looks so serious. His glasses were quite thick, but could not hide his good looks. Yes, that guy is handsome. Moreover, his body was also quite tall. Although not as perfect as Karan, at least Ruben is the type of man who is suitable to be a life partner.

“You can go back to your desk, Ruben,” Karan said, stopping Raya from observing Ruben's face. His hands moved to embrace Kingdom spontaneously. Karan is unaware of it, but his sense of possessiveness towards Raya makes his body react every time he witnesses the interaction between Raya and another male. He is jealous even though jealousy is not necessary. Ruben has worked with him for a long time. That man was as loyal as Ian. So, there is no way Ruben will act against Raya, especially in Karan's own territory.

“Good Sir.” Without protest at all Ruben just walked out of the room.

Karan was confused by his wife's words. “Yes? Stop what Dear?”

“Stop to do this.” Raya takes Karan's hand and throws it away. Then she stepped back to stay away from her husband. “That's the first. Second, can we talk formally? It's in the office. Your job is higher than mine. So, please separate personal matters with company affairs.”

“If that one can't, dear. I can't think of my own wife as an employee. You are my wife, meaning everything I have is yours, including this company.”

Raya threw her sharp gaze at Karan. “Karan, please! If you can't, then I'll talk to you formally. At least as long as we're in the office. I don't want to cause a lot of gossip at work.”

Karan's forehead frowned. “Gossip? Who would dare gossip about you, hm? If I find him, moreover he is a person in this company, I am sure he will be short-lived.”

Raya shuddered in horror. Karan's speech certainly does not lead to work, but something more extreme. Karan really wants to hurt others, even eliminate them. The glare of Karan's eyes already explained it. “No, it's not so. But this is for my convenience. Please, let me ski like an employee. From this second I will be formal with you.”

“Yes, it's up to you, honey. Just do what makes you happy, and I'll do what makes me happy. That's how I live my life.” Karan approached Raya and hugged her. Raya did rebel, but Karan's energy was much greater. The man only stopped his action after giving a light kiss on the lips and cheeks of the wife. Then, he walked to the table. “This lists all the activities of the foundation over the next month. And these are the institutions that always get regular help from our foundation,” Karan said while giving two documents on the table to Raya.

Raya took the two documents and started opening them one by one. “There are 50 institutions?” chirps Raya does not believe. He thought Karan was just creating a foundation for his imaging needs so that the new foundation would work if needed. Helping victims of natural disasters, for example. Or work with the government to always get the camera spotlight. It is easiest to help people who were famous in cyberspace. But Raya is very wrong. In fact, Karan does routinely provide assistance to the 50 institutions. At least once every six months. Raya becomes increasingly confused by Karan's true nature. Was this man really as evil as the Kingdom had witnessed inside the house?

“Iya, 50 institutions. Actually last year there was more to it than that, but since this year there were several natural disasters, we allocated funds to help the victims first,” explained the CEO. “Read slowly Dear. Today is the only job you can do. If something is confusing, you can ask me. I'll be here all day to help you.”

Raya rolled her eyeballs off guard. Karan doesn't really want to help her. The man just wanted to be there to bother him. “Do you have no job, Sir?” raya said politely according to her promise.

A smile appeared on Karan's thick lips. He was happy to remember how their meeting used to be where Raya spoke politely like now. “No, I have no job. After all, it is my responsibility to make sure the new director of the foundation knows what his duties and responsibilities are.” Karan spoke as if it was indeed the duty and duty of a company leader. In fact, in addition to Raya, Karan never intervened at all to supervise his directors. The man would rather have them face him if that was necessary.

There is no reply from Raya. The woman let her husband sit in his chair, while he sat in the opposite chair. Raya perused all of the reports until her eyes widened to see an orphanage receiving regular help from the foundation. The orphanage that is on Asoka Street, a place that is very well known by Raya because around the road that Raya spent her childhood. A childhood vaguely disappeared from his memory.
