Not the Wife You Want
Chapter 11, the atmosphere is gripping

Now Ayla and Darren have arrived at one of the restaurants that became his lunch destination. They sat and waited for their food to come.

“Does it matter if you keep busy until there is no time for lunch alone with your husband?” Asked Darren who looked so curious. Because since Ayla worked again, more precisely for one week Darren met Ayla. She never saw Ayla going out to lunch with her husband. What Darren saw, Ayla always spent lunch time with her colleague one office.

Ayla smile. “No problem, Sir. Because lunch together is not important for both of us. Most importantly for us, always spend time alone if out of work!” Ayla is full of lies.

Isn't that a lie, because in reality he and Alex never once spent time together.

“Wah, surely your household is very happy!” Darren said with admiration. “I'm curious about your husband, what's his name? Then where does he work? I would love to know your husband!”

Ayla simply replied with a smile as Darren said the happiness of his household. “Why are you curious? For now I keep my husband's name a secret, sir. Someday you will know who he is. And maybe we'll see you soon!” Ayla tried to relax.

How could he possibly feel relieved. If today's meeting is to meet with Lew.Group's owner, Alex's company. He will not know what the discussion will be like before Alex. Will Alex be humiliating him in public, more precisely in front of his superiors.

Only Darren wanted to continue the question, but the menu they ordered has come and now is presented on their table. They both enjoyed their lunch before continuing their plans this afternoon.

After lunch, they headed to the place where they would hold their meeting. Ayla and Darren step in unison into a place where there are already waiting for her and Ayla's arrival.

Ayla simply walked down without daring to look ahead.

“Master, representative of Mr. Luis has arrived!” Jery said as she saw someone walking towards her. Alex and his secretary stand up and turn their bodies to the person Jerry showed them.

“A-Ayla, Darren?” Alex muttered in his heart.

“Sorry a little too late-” Darren was silent when he saw the figure of the man who became his client. “Ay, are we in the wrong place?” Asked Darren who was now looking at Ayla who was still bowing her head.

Ayla took a deep breath, then raised her head. “No, Sir.” He answered and lowered his head again.

“Then they're the wrong place!” Darren said sarcastically.

Ayla raised her head back. “No, Sir. Because Mr. Alexander is the company leader Lew.Group.” Ayla replied and again she lowered her head when she caught a glimpse of Alex looking at her so sharply.

“What..!” Pekik Darren's.

Now Alex and Darren are throwing sharp glances at each other. When viewed from the dislike between the two of them, it means they already know each other. And from the look of dislike they became a question in the mind of Jery who saw clearly. I don't know what the problem is between the two of them?

“Can cancel our company cooperation with his company?” Darren and Alex ask Ayla and Jery.

“Can't, Sir. Because this cooperation has been agreed and signed by Mr. Luis. It would also hurt the company enormously, and Mr. Luis could be furious if that happened!” Ayla.

“Can't, Sir. If that happens, Mr. Arga will probably withdraw his entire investment from your company. Given the youth is the biggest investor in the company especially he also recommends cooperation with the Luis Group company. And if until Mr. Arga withdraws all his investment, it does not rule out the possibility of affecting all other investors.” Obviously Jerry was long at length.

“Shitt..” Darren and Alex together.

“Papa.... If I knew this jerk was the owner of the company that Papa was working with, I wouldn't want to follow Papa's orders today. Papa......!” Darren in the heart.

“Sial, why do I have to meet this jerk. And the bad thing about this jerk is his son, Om Luis. Stupid you Lex!” Let Alex inwardly to himself. “And she, I think this woman works in another part. Turns out he's the secretary of the jerk, your fool to double Lex!” His grunts while glancing sharply at Ayla.

“Pak, please sit!” Take Ayla by pulling Darren's hand to sit down.

“Ck, cheap base lady!” Alex said in his heart when he saw Ayla's hand touch Darren's.

If until this cooperation is not successful, then Ayla can be hit by a big anger by Mr. Luis or worse could be fired. Because this partnership is mutually beneficial for the company.

And inevitably, they continued the meeting with a very gripping atmosphere. How not gripping if all the main ideas of their cooperation reject each other, even no one wants to give up. Do not they know if the assistant and secretary is not easy to prepare all the meeting plans by draining their brains and energy. Even Jery and Amel are willing to overtime until night. And don't forget Ayla, she's overtime at home even with weird noise disturbances from the next room. And now, they have spent two more hours on the meeting. But they also did not find a good end result.

“How so? Mr Alex, you agree?” Ayla asked for the umpteenth time after she found her impromptu idea back.

Alex looked at Ayla cynically. “No...!” Alex with a tired face. Making Ayla, Jery and also Amel sigh rough.

“Why don't you agree, the idea Ayla gave you was a good idea and could attract many consumers out there!” Darren's murmur did not accept Alex reject Ayla's idea that had been rejected several times even denounced by Alex.

“That's up to me, you also rejected the idea that my secretary and assistant gave me!” Alex doesn't want to lose.

“Already Sir, already Sir!” Ayla and Jery said together.

“Shut up!” Alex and Darren together. It made Ayla and Jery sigh so heavily.

“Alright, then excuse me to go to the toilet for a while!” Pamit Ayla on the sidelines of a debate between Alex and Darren. Ayla got up from her stool and stepped into the ladies' room. And Jery also moved away from the debate because he also felt careless. Even he had cursed his master with all his rude swearing.

“Ay..” Darren Shouts. “Why am I snapping at him, damn sure he's mad!” Darren looked at Ayla's back further away with regret. While Alex who heard only smiled cynically at Darren.

And Alex, Darren and Amel are Alex's secretaries. They just sat staring at each other, while Amel was just silent and confused by what he saw.
