My First Night With My Boss
24. Questions From Rizwan

How nervous and nervous Rigel is, when he is looked at cynically by the father of the woman who became his pretend lover. Cold sweat, nervousness, restlessness, all being felt in his body. Sitting was already uncomfortable, Rigel repeatedly set his breath just to control the nervousness and anxiety that whipped inside him. A Rigel Callisto who has a hard nature towards all employees in his company can feel nervous and anxious, only by a Rizwan who is the father of his pretend lover. When in the office Rigel can make all employees feel nervous and anxious, but at home Lyra he is the one who is made nervous and anxious. Rigel who always looks dashing and tough made shriveled by Rizwan when he started in the intro.

"Man with a child, you're a man who failed to build a household. Or you are a man who lives dead by his wife" said Rizwan with crossed legs and arms folded over his stomach.

Rigel who was nervous had to force his smile just to look good by the father of one child. "I never married."

"Oh, so the child you brought here is an adopted child?"

"I never adopted a child."

Rizwan immediately opened his mouth, feeling unexpected by what Rigel replied. "Well, that means he's an out-of-wedlock child. Are you playing around with my son, you know that not long ago Lyra was hurt by a man. And he's got to be in a relationship with a jerk again."

Rigel swallowed his saliva. "Actually he is my nephew. Jayden has been in a long-lived deceased residence by both of his parents, and from his childhood he lived with me. So he always thought of me as his papa."

"Then, what's your job?"

Rigel then grabbed a business card from inside his wallet. "It's my job" he said, putting a business card on the table.

Instantly Rizwan was surprised to see the work on the business card belonging to the man who was in the interrogation. "CEOS?" Isn't that the highest position in the company, are you the owner of the company?"

"CEO is not the highest position in the company. The highest position in the company is the president director, who is the highest shareholder and owner of the company. And that office was owned by my father."

"I don't care how rich you are and how rich your parents are. So there's no need to boast to me."

Rigel. "Didn't he just ask, but I just explained what he asked," he said in his mind.

Like a job applicant, Rigel is constantly questioned by Rizwan. The words and questions that Rizwan made were very piercing, to the point that Rigel was upset by him. But how else, even if annoyed, Rigel can not express his annoyance and anger to the man whose age is far above him. Moreover, Rizwan is the father of his pretend lover. Although only limited to pretending, it does not mean that Rigel does not need to respect the middle-aged man whose speech is very piercing.

"Lyra and Daniel recently broke up, doesn't it feel weird if you're in a relationship right away. Don't tell me if you forced her to have a relationship with you" Axel said.

"True Axel, you are a rich man. You could have forced him to be your lover, because you know that our family is in trouble with the debts that are piled up. Then you offer him a large sum of money, so that he can accept you," Sosor Rizwan then tilted his smile at Rigel. "Just because you have a high position in the company, you can arbitrarily against new workers like Lyra. Rich people usually play around with women because they have a lot of money."

Rigel does force Lyra to become his pretended lover by offering her a sizable salary. But if he is honest, Rizwan could hate him and make his only child is not allowed to meet Rigel or with Jayden who already considers Lyra like his real mother. Although lying to parents is wrong, but for the good of him, especially for Jayden, who as his nephew, Rigel is willing to lie. But lies are not always covered up.

"I never offered Lyra a large sum of money. I just found out that his family was struggling with debt when you spoke just now. I'm very sincere in her love even if she can't forget her ex-boyfriend."

"Why do you want to be in a relationship with him when he can't forget his ex-girlfriend," Axel pitched angrily.

Axel then sighed. "I knew that Lyra was not the one who would use a man just to lean on his grief. Did you use it?"

"Because I love her so sincerely, I'm willing to be her place to lean on. He has not been able to forget his former lover, therefore he is better off in a new relationship with another man so that he can soon be a jerk who has left him. Therefore I offered to be her lover, even though I still act as her backrest" Rigel explained.

Even though Rigel lied, not all of his words were entirely lying. There was one thing in her speech that was full of honesty. It's just that he can't be honest with Lyra.

Rigel's words can convince Rizwan, but the father of one child can not fully trust Rigel. Because he still could not accept any man who became his son-in-law, after his son was hurt by Daniel. Rizwan does not want Lyra to choose the wrong choice again, therefore Rizwan is very careful in choosing his son-in-law.

"Even if your words are very sincere, it does not mean that I will quickly approve of your relationship with Lyra," said Rizwan who still folded his arms on his stomach.

Rigel smile. "Then from that, I'll try to get your blessing from you."

"Looks like I should finish questioning him." Lyra pulled Rigel's arm to make him stand up. "Jay, you're asleep. Looks like you need to get her home before she wakes up."

Rigel and Lyra moved into the room. Rigel slowly carried Jayden carefully so as not to wake him. Then he took his nephew out of the room. And his steps stopped when he was at the place where Rizwan was.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay here for long, so I'm going home now" Rigel said.

"It's better that you go home quickly so that the neighbors don't have a bad prejudice against my son."

Lyra shakes. "Stop saying sharp words to him" he said in an upset throat.

Lyra then drove Rigel to where his car was parked.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get Jayden to stay at my house, 'cause tomorrow he's going to school." Lyra then scratched her nape that did not feel itchy. "As for my father, I'm sorry if his words pricked your heart a little."

Rigel smiled as he nodded. "It's okay."

Rigel first enters Jayden into the back seat of his car, after which he goes to take Jayden home in his car.

Shortly after Rigel left, Axel came to Lyra in front of the house.

"From what I heard he offered himself as your back. Is he lying? And don't tell me that she forced you to have a relationship with her," Axel poked with a look on his face that seemed to be in a fit of annoyance.

"What he said is true, so you don't have to be too suspicious of him."

"Why should he be the one you choose?"

"Why, is there something wrong with him?" Ask Lyra back.

"He is a rich man and he is also an heir of one of the largest companies in Indonesia. He might just reason to make himself your back, just because he wants to play around with you when you start to have feelings for him. Most rich men have a bad attitude."

"At first I did think in that direction, but from what I saw he was a good man of many rich people."

"Where did you see it from? You haven't known him for long."

"I haven't known him for a long time, but I can quickly see his bright side. He is a loving man, he is a man who at all times is ready to take care of his loved ones. He even sincerely loved his nephew like his own son."

"Are you blinded by it, you even just see the positive side of him and forget the negative side of him. Don't you already have feelings for him."

Lyra swallowed her saliva. "Well, do I look like that?" Lyra then rushed her legs with her legs that seemed agitated.

"Can't you not have any man" Axel raised his voice.

When Lyra's steps stopped, she turned back to face Axel.

"What do you mean by what you say?" Ask Lyra to wonder.

Without answering, Axel just stepped away with a sour look on his face.
