Married to Ex-Husband Boss
Chapter 39

In his study Erlangga was daydreaming, this morning he had no spirit at all. He was thinking about Elfira's answer to her declaration of love last night.

"Thank you for your expression of love and I appreciate all your efforts tonight" Elfira bowed her breath before she looked up again and looked at Erlangga who was now standing before her.

"I'm sorry Er, I'm not ..."

"Wait," cut Erlangga fast. He did not want to hear the continuation of Elfira's speech. He doesn't want to be rejected.

"I'm not asking you to answer now, I know you're not ready to get married again. I'll give you time until you're really ready to open your heart to me."

"But I don't want to keep you waiting long, I don't know when I can ..."

"I will keep waiting, until anytime," said Erlangga sure.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door made Erlangga wake up from his daydream. "Come in" he said to the knocker.

Dewo came in after opening the door wide and then shut it again. He brought some files that Erlangga had to sign.

"What's Dewo?" erlangga asked his assistant.

"There are some files that the boss has to check and sign" Dewo replied as he placed the files on Erlangga's desk.

"Thank you Wo, I will check later" said Erlangga not excited.

"Okay boss, then I'll go back to the room."

"Hm."

Dewo stared in wonder at his boss, for 7 years he worked with Erlangga, only this time Dewo saw his boss was looking uninspired.

Erlangga leaned his body on the chair, he did not taste at all to touch all the files.

"Why did I become like this" he murmured while massaging his throbbing forehead.

Erlangga got up and grabbed the car keys that he put on the table. He intends to go out for a while to get fresh air in order to restore his mood. In front of the door Erlangga met Dewo who happened to be heading to his room.

"Where's the boss, where are you going?" asked Dewo when he saw Erlangga who was walking hastily.

"I want to go out for a while, you please handle the company first until I return," Erlangga replied as he passed without looking at Dewo.

Seemed Dewo opened his mouth wide in disbelief, today the work in the office is a lot and Erlangga with a heart as good as gone, gave all the work to him.

"It turns out it's true what people say. You have money you have power" grumbled Dewo as he returned to his room.

Tonight Elfira was in a restaurant waiting for Erlangga's arrival. They have made an appointment and will have dinner together. Erlangga had wanted to pick up Elfira at her house. However, the woman refused him, he asked Erlangga to meet in person at the restaurant.

 Elfira who had arrived first chose to sit on a chair near the glass wall so that she could see outside. Soon a waitress came up to him and brought him a menu book.

"Good night, miss, what do you want?" ask the waitress while handing the menu book to Elfira. He opened it and looked at the menu listed there.

Elfira's order was recorded and the waitress left to continue her work.

Elfira again waited while looking at the streets, while being engrossed in her activities, suddenly someone approached her and made her come back scared.

"Wuaah, Upik Abu has risen caste yes now. Dinner at an elite place not at a roadside stall anymore?" someone who is none other than Jessica.

Elfira was shocked to the point of opening wide into her two eyes when she saw the presence of the woman before her. I don't know since when Jessica has been sitting in front of him, making Elfira's heart beat unnaturally. Although the incident had long since passed, however, the fear was still there until now. And all of that can be seen by Jessica. The woman could see Elfira's body trembling slightly in fear.

"What do you want, get out of front of me and don't ever bother me again" Elfira said trying to vent.

Jessica lowered her smile and leaned back on the chair while folding both her hands in front of her chest. "Udah started to be brave yes you are the same me," said Jessica cynically.

Elfira was silent, she was still trying to muster up her courage. If there was an Adam who would always protect him from Jessica, then now he has no one to rely on. For this reason, Elfira tried to brave herself to face Jessica.

"There's nothing I need to fear from you" replied Elfira.

Jessica pulled the corner of her lips and pushed her body forward, both hands she placed on the table. "Lo is really a woman who doesn't know herself."

"What do you mean?" elfira asked because she was a little offended by Jessica's words.

Jessica stared at Elfira sharply and hatefully, there was a grudge she had long held against Elfira.

"Lo, Adam never accepted my feelings. She prefers poor women like lo than I have everything" Jessica said, recalling her past.

"It's not my fault that Adam chose me over you. You should be able to correct yourself, what is wrong with you," replied Elfira who had begun to dare to fight Jessica.

Jessica started to get emotional, she growled a little at Elfira's words. His breath up and down held anger.

"Again, why else would you care about the past. I am no longer with Adam anymore. If you want, just take it," he continued.

"Lo really is." Jessica stood up and prepared to raise her hand against Elfira's face, making the woman spontaneously close her eyes.

However, for a few seconds, Elfira felt nothing. He opened his eyes to see what was happening. Both of Elfira's eyes were now wide open when she saw Erlangga who had stood up while holding Jessica's hand that was being lifted up.

"Never touch my future wife with your dirty hands," Erlangga said with emphasis, then throw Jessica's hand violently to make Jessica's body unbalanced and sitting in a chair.

Erlangga looked worriedly at the woman he loved so much, then approached her and pulled Elfira to stand up.

"You're okay, right?" asked Erlangga while paying attention to the state of Elfira.

"I'm fine" replied Elfira.

"I'm sorry yes, I came late," Erlangga said again full of regret.

Then Erlangga looked back at Jessica who was still sitting. "You!" hardik Erlangga while pointing right in front of Jessica's face. "Never bother or appear again in front of Elfira. Or I'll make your father's company just a name," he threatened to scare Jessica. Jessica doesn't want her father's company destroyed just because of her behavior. Or he'll get a tantrum from his father. Because his father would not hesitate to beat him if he made a problem that had an impact on the company. His father was more fond of the company than he who incidentally is a biological child.

Erlangga's face is so scary according to Jessica, her eyes are so sharp that her hair is goosebumps. Jessica realized that Erlangga is not a random man. Daring to fight Erlangga was the same as looking to die. Not wanting Erlangga's threat to become a reality, Jessica quickly left in front of the two lovebirds.
