Pay Women And CEOs
WB&CEO CHAPTER 17 - Start to Doubt

Alden set up his phone screen that was still on, looking at Dinda's dead phone call.

It was midnight and he was still outside. Alden looked back at the hospital, from here as if he could see Dinda at the other end crying.

Perhaps the girl had started to wipe away her tears, then smiled at her mother.

I don't know, about the paid woman still can't Alden clearly know how the person.

But from the look of Dinda's eyes, he always found a sincerity.

At 1am, Alden just arrived at his small apartment. He turned on all the lights and immediately headed for the kitchen to grab a drink. But his gaze was then locked on the dining table attached to a rice hood.

As he remembered this morning he did not leave the kitchen in such a state. The dining table was empty and there was no food.

Realizing that, Alden thought that maybe his mother had come here. But they did not manage to meet.

Pointing out his intention to drink, Alden immediately opened the rice hood and saw some side dishes served there. Complete with a long note that his mother wrote.

The mother named Jia was always like that, a message that should be short but her mother wrote at length.

Al, until when do you want to pretend to be poor dear? do you pretend to forget to eat? mommy saw that there was no food in the apartment, the fridge was empty, there was only instant food.

You can cook, buy vegetables and meat.

If you can't take care of yourself it's better to go home.

Mommy misses you so much, baby. Everyone gathers at home, you're the only one who doesn't exist.

You said you'd like to introduce Liora to all of us, when? Daddy has even bought a new, smaller house, we are also prepared to pretend to be poor. But you never gave me any more news.

You and Liora are fine, right?

Tomorrow call mommy baby, morning afternoon evening mommy will be waiting for your call.

Alden smiled as he finished reading his mother's message. He inhaled the air in this room smelling a fragrant aroma. Her mother must have also replaced the fragrance in this room with a new one.

At that time Alden immediately sat at the dining table and ate food given by the mother. Although it is cold, it still tastes good.

Alden knew this was all his own mother cooking for him.

After eating Alden also cleaned everything up, some of the remaining side dishes he warmed back then in storage. Everything that was dirty was washed. Get in Alden's kitchen straight in the shower. At 2 am he just laid his body on the bed.

Just remembered that today he had not met the lover.

"Liora," murmured Alden. He closed his eyes and recalled their first meeting.

That was the first day Alden tried to disguise himself as an ordinary person. He accompanies Derick to meet with clients at one of the restaurants. At that time Liora also came there, buying food for her work team's lunch at the office. Liora owns a branded handbag shop. It just so happened that afternoon there was a meeting and Liora who came out to buy food.

But Liora's cash was not enough, while her wallet was left in the office. At that time Alden who was queuing behind Liora also offered help. Alden helped pay for Liora's shortcomings with his meager money.

Liora's laughter looked so beautiful in Alden's eyes. Since then, the two have met and loved often.

Recalling those fond memories, Alden reopened his eyes. Pick up the phone on the nightstand and try to contact the lover.

But unfortunately, his call did not get an answer.

"I can't talk to Liora, nor can Dinda put an end to this. I have to meet with Gaida's grandmother in person" Alden said.

I think that's the only way to solve all these problems.

Morning comes.

As planned today Alden will meet Gaida. At the break Alden and Gaida had made an appointment at one of the cafes.

Then Alden came first, waited for about 10 minutes and then he saw Gaida enter the cafe.

Alden stood up, saluting him.

"Good day, Grandma" said Alden, he lowered his small head. Although the relationship between the two of them is not good, but Alden and Gaida already know each other.

And Gaida did not say Alden's greeting, he immediately sat in his chair arrogantly.

Alden followed, and they sat facing each other.

"What do you want to say? better hurry, don't waste my time" Gaida said, starting talks between them.

"I love Liora Nek so much, now maybe I do not have anything, but I definitely try to always make her happy" Alden explained directly, no boredom he always said this to Gaida.

"Curtain! if you love Liora, you should have ended the relationship a long time ago. You should be self-aware, which poor man deserves to be with my granddaughter. Unless you really want to deliberately hitch a ride on Liora," Gaida replied with a sarcasm.

"Liora is my granddaughter, I know exactly how she is. Now he might say he loves you, but when you get married and I unplug all the facilities, he'll never be able to live with you again. Think it's okay" Gaida said.

While Alden was silent, his mind was not that small. He was still sure if Liora was different from most girls, even though Alden later showed his true identity, surely Liora still wanted to be invited to live a simple life.

"Me and Liora are the same, we're used to living a luxurious life. Eating love alone will not be enough!" gaida said fiercely. After that he got up, although actually not finished Alden talking. About Dinda whom he had not spoken.

"Next night meet Liora at Five Season Hotel, I'll arrange your meeting. Tell her about what I said today to you, about me who would take out all the facilities if she still wanted to marry you. And I make sure you will hear Liora's rejection immediately" said Gaida, complete with a sly grin at the corner of her lips.

Between the treasure and Alden, Gaida is convinced that Liora will definitely choose the treasure.

But again Alden was only able to remain silent. Alden knew enough, if Liora refused tonight then the relationship between them ended. The corner of his heart began to frown, beginning to fear that what Gaida said would happen.

About Liora not being able to vote for him if Gaida revokes all the facilities Liora has.

But Alden did not want to guess, did not want to hesitate earlier. Alden tried to reassure the heart, if Liora would definitely choose him.

And seeing the look on Alden's face that looked confused Gaida felt victorious, he laughed, then left Alden just like that.
