"Are you okay?" Alex asked worriedly, he stroked Anes' soft cheeks. He invited Anes to sit down and told him to drink to relax.
"I'm fine, thank you for standing up for me" Anes said.
"Do you want to go home now, if you feel uncomfortable here we just go home," said Alex. He felt guilty for leaving Anes alone.
"What would people say if Alex and I went home before the show started, I'd have to keep Alex's good name,"
"I'm fine, so there's no need to go home now, anyways the show hasn't even started yet" Anes said.
"Miss, are you okay?" ask David who just joined Alex and Anes.
"Yes sir David don't worry, I'm fine" Anes replied.
"Do you know that woman?" Ask Alex.
"He's Jesica, a high school time friend, he used to be so, like to insult and see everything from money and wealth" Anes explained.
"Reply them immediately!" alex told David.
"I will immediately cancel the cooperation with their boss" David replied.
"Once again I have to cancel the cooperation because of me" said Anes felt guilty.
"It's not your fault, I did intend to cancel the cooperation with Hutama Company because the company was full of problems, I don't want Parvis Group to be affected," obviously Alex and it was done by David.
"Thank God, if it wasn't just for me" Anes breathed a sigh of relief.

The main event of the charity party is the auction event will begin. All proceeds from the auction will be donated entirely to those in need, from luxury watches, paintings, jewelry and high-value antiques completed at auction.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, it is now the culmination of our auction today. Who does not know Alex Abraham Parvis? Everyone must have known him. Yes, he is the sole heir of the Parvis Group. And the highlight of today's auction is the duet and dance auction with young master Parvis. Who doesn't, everyone knows he has a very good voice. Who wants to dance and dance with her?the duet auction and dance with young master Parvis is about to begin" the charity host said.
"What's? A duet auction and dance with Alex's mas?" Anes was shocked at what he had just heard. Then she turned to her husband, who was sitting right next to her, to be sure. However, Alex himself seemed confused and clueless.
"What the hell, who's putting together this show, let me take care of the boss" David said.
"No need Dav, everything is planned, if the pickle is canceled this can be messy," Alex prevents David who wants to stand from his seat.
"But boss."
Alex hints for David to calm down and not have to worry. David again confirmed his sitting position.
"Well now I open for 10 million rupiah, ready to dare more to be able to duet and dance with young master Parvis?"
"20 million rupiah" shouted a sexy woman.
"25 million rupiah" another woman bid.
"35 million rupiah" shouted another woman.
"50 million rupiah," now Rania is bidding.
"The wife of Lord Parvis would not be willing if her stepson danced and sang with another woman apparently" said the host.
"Darling, are you sure?" whispered Mr. Arya.
"It's okay mas, who knows in this way I'm the same Alex became closer," reasoned Rania. Actually it's her plan, she wants to make Alex reminisce about his past with her.
"75 million rupiah!" A female businessman, young and beautiful bidding higher, made Rania sigh in annoyance.
Anes was silent, stunned and in disbelief, willing to spend a lot of money just for a duet and dance with her husband. In her heart was also a sense of jealousy, how could her husband would duet and dance with others before her eyes.
"Well, this beautiful lady dared to bid 75 million rupiah, let's have another dare more?" ask the host.
"100 million," another woman bargained.
They continue to bid at a higher price.
"What I have to do, I don't want Alex to be touched by other women, but I don't have much money to beat them either." Anes was sad, clearly visible from the look on his face. He squeezed his hands to hold back his jealousy.
Alex turned to Anes, and Anes forced his smile without saying anything. Alex understands Anes' feelings, he feels guilty but can't do anything about it either because he doesn't want the social-themed event to fall apart.
"I'm sorry" Alex said in his heart.
David is aware of the situation, he looks at Anes and he also feels guilty for his mischievousness, he does not know the core session of the auction involves his boss.
"See you later, I'll find out who organized this event, look for things apparently," said David.
"Miss, if you don't accept Alex's boss being touched by another woman, offer them the highest price, don't give them a chance. Money matters don't worry." David sent a short message to Anes.
After opening a message from David, Anes immediately turned to him and was nodding back by David.
"Oh stupid, what am I doing? what if Miss Anes can't sing and dance, isn't that just as humiliating to her in public," David cursed himself inwardly.
"Yes, anyone else want to bid more than 175 million rupiah?". It turns out that the offer has reached 175 million rupiah without Anes knowing.
"I'll count to 10, if it's not there, then the lady in the white dress who won and will also dance with young master Parvis in the next event. All women's dreams can't be that close to young master Parvis. All right, I'll start counting." The host immediately began to count. When counting to the count of 9, Anes raised his hand in doubt.
"Yes, the beautiful lady who is beside young master Parvis wants to bid more like her, please miss, how much will you bid?" ask the host.
"I'm sorry, maybe after this I'll use your large amount of money."
"250 million rupiah" Anes said doubtfully. She was afraid Alex would be angry with her.
But on the contrary, Alex was happy, in his heart he was very happy. He did not expect, Anes was so unreasonable to see Alex close to other women.
Anes looked at Alex with an apologetic face but Alex replied with a smile. And it was able to make Anes breathe a sigh of relief, at least for the moment, Alex was angry or not, it was a later affair, at least now she is trying to save her pride as Alex Abraham Parvis' wife. How could she let her husband come into contact with another woman while dancing, what people said about Anes later.
"Wow, fantastic! who exactly is Miss Beautiful sitting next to this young master Parvis, why is she willing to spend so much money?"
"She is my favorite daughter-in-law, the wife of Alex Abraham Parvis." Mr. Arya answered the curiosity of the host. The atmosphere became boisterous, those who did not know became curious and whispered to each other about the couple. Yes, who knew Anes was Alex's wife was a director at Parvis Group.
" Oh, it is fitting that this beautiful lady dares to bid at a very high price, apparently she is not willing if her husband duets and dances with other women, wow very lucky, young master Parvis, have a beautiful wife and love her very much" said the host. Alex who had a flat face tends to be cold, now shows his smile that will melt the heart of every woman who sees it. *Author:lebay๐
After the host counts to 10 and no one bids anymore, it means that Anes will be duetting and dancing with her own husband.
Rania looks upset, she wants to bid to hear the price is higher, but she does not want Mr. Arya suspicious. He was only able to sigh in disappointment, again and again.
"Huh, surely you will be ashamed of Anes, a woman like you who might be able to sing and dance," Rania said with a cynical smile.

"Miss, are you sure you're going to sing and then dance with Alex's boss?" david asked seriously.
Actually Alex is also worried what if Anes turns out not to be able to sing and his voice is ugly. He did not want his wife to be embarrassed. Alex's dancing wasn't that worried, because he taught Anes time in the Maldives.
"Sir David doubts my abilities?" Anes stared at David.
"It's not so miss, but if you have any doubts, I can cancel the duet."
"Of miss, just cancel it, rather than embarrass you later, it's the same as embarrassing the boss," David's inner worry.
"Boss, are you sure, Miss Anes can sing?" david whispered to Alex.
Alex did not reply, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Alex got on stage first and started singing. Her voice is undoubtedly a professional singer. He is also good at playing guitar while singing.
When it was her turn to climb the stairs leading to the stage and reply to the lyrics of the song sung by Alex, all who heard was also amazed, it turns out Anes also has a golden voice that is able to compensate for Alex's voice. The piano on stage did not escape the target Anes, he played it like a professional pianist.
When their voices collide into one, so engrossed in the heart that they hear, what an incredible duet. They sing a romantic song that makes the guests get dissolved in a romantic atmosphere.
"You are indeed amazing miss, it's not wrong that boss Alex is infatuated with you," David was relieved that his fears were not proven at all.
