Again Lyra makes Rigel angry by mentioning that he is not a person who should work only for him. Not because Lyra does not want to be a worker who is in particular for Rigel, but Lyra is self-conscious if indeed from the beginning she works to prepare meals for all workers in the office. Moreover, Sandy had asked him to exchange positions with Agni.
Then after being compared, does Lyra still feel worthy of Rigel. Of course Lyra faltered a little after hearing that. Lyra was also a little afraid of the scorn from people in the office after hearing rumors that she was called a seductive woman. If Lyra continues to be near Rigel, Lyra will certainly be increasingly ridiculed by people.
Lyra could not look at Rigel directly, because she did not want to show how sad she was with the rumors that occurred at this time. What's more all the workers in the kitchen kept telling Agni about her match with Rigel.
Rigel let out a sigh, then placed both hands on Lyra's shoulders. "Are you like this because of the rumors that are spreading in the office?"
Lyra shook her head without staring. "Not."
"It seems to be true." Rigel looked Lyra in the eye with a serious look. "Do you believe me."
"Of course I believe you."
"Then why do you look like you're sorry for being my lover."
Lyra sighed while looking sadly at Rigel's face. "It's not like that, I'm worried about whether our relationship can continue. While your father doesn't like me, even the people in the office don't like it. I was called a seductive woman by them, then compared to Agni. Because they think I don't deserve you."
Rigel sighed in annoyance. "Believe in yourself that I am only yours and you are mine. If you want to be happy, never mind your mouth. You only trust me enough, because I'll still choose you."
Rigel's words always managed to touch Lyra's heart, and Lyra was always made to cry after hearing it. Stupid, why could Lyra falter just because she was compared to Agni. And why could he be afraid that his relationship would end just because of untrue rumors. Though Rigel is very confident that Lyra is his choice, which he has been waiting for a long time.
Instantly Lyra was clutching Rigel's body tightly while venting her cries. "I'm sorry I thought I wanted to end our relationship. I'm sorry I couldn't trust you either. Honestly, I don't want to part with you, Rigel."
Rigel took off his crib, then immediately wiped the water droplets on Lyra's face. "Who told you to part with me. You belong to me and I will never allow anyone to separate us, including my own father."
Deep gratitude embedded in his heart. However, Lyra was unable to say it because she was too focused on crying.
Rigel is the best man Lyra has ever had. Even the best of the best, he willingly waited years to get Lyra. How could he falter just because of people's views on him.
After the cry of Lyra subsided, immediately Rigel grabbed Lyra's hand and tightly grasped the beautiful hand of her lover.
"We need to show it to those who have said bad things to you." Rigel walked out of his room while holding hands with Lyra.
"Where are you taking me?" Lyra panicked because Rigel took her out while clasping her hand. Not because Lyra won't be held, but it's still in the office. Rumors about her who is a seductive woman still have not subsided, Lyra is afraid that people will be more scornful of her.
"Be as natural as possible and as comfortable as you can hold hands with me."
"It's in the office, we can't hold hands like this."
"We need to show it, I want everyone to know that you are the woman I choose. So make yourself as comfortable as possible when we're holding hands in front of the people in this office."
Rigel walked towards the exit of the office building as the crowds passed by. Maybe it's still lunchtime, so a lot of people pass by.
All eyes were fixed on the couple who had recently formalized their relationship. As if to be surprised, almost everyone who saw it excited because it was made unexpected if a Lyra can hold the hands of the CEO who is known to people of good looks it.
They wondered who the woman Rigel really was, while everyone in the office only knew Agnilah was Rigel's future wife. And what people know is that Lyra is only the third person between Rigel and Agni. Everyone gets confused between rumors and current events. About this morning Agni who had a fight with one of the employees who denounced Lyra, and about Rigel who is now holding Lyra's hand. A wife-to-be who's not supposed to defend her rival, and Rigel who's not supposed to show that Lyra's a woman. Until in the end, Rigel's action managed to make people speculate that the rumors are spreading is not true.
"Where is Rigel going? Don't leave now, because there'll be a meeting soon."
Rigel smiled as he patted one of Ryan's shoulders. "Just postpone the meeting, today I need to celebrate something after making people rowdy with my actions."
"But sir, this meeting is far more important than your event."
Instead of complying, Rigel smiled in response to his secretary. He ignores her and quickly gets himself and Lyra into the car.
"After making people rowdy, where are you taking me now?" Ask Lyra wonder.
"We're gonna pick Jay up for school."
"Hm, we'd better get back to the office."
Rigel. "Don't you like it when we go see Jay."
Lyra waved her hand quickly. "No, it's not like that. Ryan said there's an important meeting now that you need to attend. Then, I also have to go back to helping the people in the kitchen cafeteria."
"Meeting can be done tomorrow. And I told you, in the office, you just have to prepare a meal for me."
"Hm, after I finish preparing a meal for you or before I prepare a meal for you, I want to help them. I don't want to be different from others just because I'm your lover. Because I thought if I just prepared a meal for you there would be plenty of free time I could use to help the people in the cafeteria."
Rigel smiled as he stroked Lyra's head. "Give comfort but refuse it. All right, if that's what you want, I'll allow it. But if you are tired, you have to stop and do not push yourself. But for today we can't go back to the office, because we're gonna spend time with Jay."

Twenty minutes into the journey, they finally reach Jayden's school. By the time the school hours were over, Janus and Lyra rushed over to Jayden, who was walking out of the gate with friends. Then Jayden was excited when he saw Lyra and Rigel coming to pick him up. Jayden was happy, because the first time he was picked up directly by a woman he had considered a mother. He just showed it to all his friends.
"She is the mom I tell you about a lot. How, doesn't she look as beautiful as I often describe her," Jayden told all his friends.
All of Jayden's friends seemed amazed to look at the prospective mama Jayden. Not only his friends who look in admiration Lyra, the mother of his friends who were picking up was also amazed to see the beautiful face of Lyra. They even praised the beautiful face of Jayden's father.
Rigel smiled because he was proud of himself, he could get a woman as beautiful as Lyra. Which he even used to have a hard time getting.
"Unfortunately, Jayden's father already has a very beautiful candidate. Though I would like to introduce you to my little sister," said one of the parents of Jayden's friend
Rigel smiled as he scratched his nape. "Darlingly, it looks like I've already chosen Lyra."
Shortly after, Lyra and Rigel say goodbye to all her parents and children. They rushed to bring Jayden into the car.
"Are we going for a walk today?" Ask Jayden.
"Of course, the three of us are going to go have fun. But before going for a walk, we will first go where to eat. Because the three of us haven't had lunch yet, right" replied Rigel who was focusing on starting his car engine.
But shortly after Rigel gas, suddenly his phone rang. Rigel then grabbed his phone which he had put in his pocket. When checked, it turned out that the number on behalf of his father made his phone ring. But instead of being lifted, Rigel put it back in his pocket and let it ring.
