Prisoner of Love CEO
Chapter 4. Unaltered

The girl came out with an annoyed face mixed with sadness, she even dared to kick the President's door to vent her frustration. Gerry who was there and saw it, could only help but laugh.

Only the young lady can do this to the President. Though before his young mistress never angry or quarrel with the President. He had always been obedient, but why were they fighting today?

With his disheveled face, he returned downstairs to pick up all his belongings in the room where he worked, followed by Gerry behind him.

TING!

The elevator opens, Tisha and Gerry get into the elevator.

"Why is the secretary coming too?" tanya Tisha said

"I just obeyed the orders of the President to ensure the comfort of the young mistress" Gerry smiled, a smile that showed his professionalism.

"What comfort? that ice cube must want to make sure I obey his orders or not! I do not think, how can people who do not lack anything let alone lack of money, will be very calculated with money two billion. Hmh! is he also a leech? sucks, ice cubes suck. Just die you! " tisha grumbled as she cursed her husband.

Gerry was just smiling hearing the girl was cursing at her boss in front of her, inside the elevator anyway.

" Ahaha.I'm sorry, secretary, I didn't mean to curse her in front of you. Please keep this secret the two of us yes sir secretary "Tisha smiled awkwardly and embarrassed, unconsciously he berated Ray in front of his own secretary.

I could die if he knew that I was abusing him, he could think again and behave in a way that was not the scenario I was thinking about. All this time he's been ignoring me, so let him be. I just want a divorce.

" Mistress, you mean to keep the curse a secret just now?" ask Gerry

"Yes, please"

"Mrs relax"

"Oh yes, sir the secretary always calls me madam. Please don't call me that, I'm not comfortable"

"Sorry madam, but this is the order of the President. The madam is the wife of the President, automatically the mistress is my mistress as well" explained Gerry

Wife? why am I so sad to hear the word wife? my heart hurts to hear it. I used to be so happy to be called the ice cube's wife, but now why do I feel sad?. Tisha's heart is sad

"Mrs? why are you daydreaming?" gerry asked astonished to see the dreamy Tisha

"Secretary don't forget yes, in front of others call me deputy manager, don't mistress. No one knew I was the ice cube's wife, uh. I mean Mr. Raymond's wife " explained Tisha to Gerry.

"I understand madam, I mean deputy manager "Gerry smiled politely

What's the matter?I think Mr. Ray will talk to the lady as well. But it seems like the madam doesn't know anything about it. Gerry looks confused.

TING!

The elevator opened and reached the ground floor. Just as the elevator opened, an ominous figure was standing in front of Tisha. His appearance and makeup are quite thick, also his clothes are quite challenging Adam. Being the hallmark of the woman, beautiful, but unfortunately not attractive. That's a suitable word for Zefanya.

"You again?" Zee smiled sinisterly looking at Tisha, looking at the girl with a condescending look

Better not deal with her.

"Heee. I want to see your husband"

"Please "answer Tisha casually

What's wrong with this girl? normally he'd get in my way when I was going to see Ray, but why is he relaxing now?. Zee sees Tisha, he is astonished and confused by Tisha's attitude.

For two years of being married to you, I've always blocked this woman's way of getting close to you. But you were always so close to him, now would you be happy when I opened the wide road for you guys to be close together? I will try to be indifferent, even though this love is still in my heart, brother Ray. But I'm tired, fighting alone makes me tired.

tisha said, a pain in her heart.

Tisha ignores Zee, stepping towards where she worked before with Gerry. Zee feels that Tisha is an arrogant girl, whereas the girl always hinders her from meeting Ray. But why did Tisha change her attitude.

Zee continues on his way, apparently visiting Ray in his room.

Ray seemed unhappy with the woman's presence. But Zee is shameless, and barges into Ray's room, though he's not allowed to.

"Honey, we have lunch with yuk" said Zee while sitting on Ray's lap

"Zee, what the hell are you doing? go, I'm busy " said Ray coldly, pushing Zee off his lap

"Why are your attitudes so different now? the village girl, she saw me here and let him go.Usually she always got in my way, is it possible that she doesn't like you anymore? ah I know, he might have realized that he doesn't deserve you" Zee smiled happily

Don't like me anymore? how come? all this time he just liked me! there might really be another man. Ray squeezes the paper on his desk, looking annoyed.

"Get out!" ray shouted at Zee

"Darling, what the hell are you doing?"zee asked astonished to see Ray suddenly angry.

"out! from now on don't come back to my office!" ray was angry

"Darling, what the hell are you doing?" asked Zee did not understand, before Ray always let him into his office as he pleased. Now the man threw him out and he can't come to his office again.

Ray pushed Zee to the front door. Upon reaching the front door, someone opened the door of the room and pushed Zee forward, hugging Ray.

It was Gerry and Tisha who entered the room, they saw the sight of Ray and Zee hugging, looking like a couple making out.

Tisha held back from seeing her husband cuddle with another woman. He tried to smile fakely and stay calm outside.

How many times have you seen this Tisha. You should have gotten used to this pain. Turns out it's pretty hard. Oh Allah, please give me extra patience. Tisha clenched her hands.

Wretch! like her, me and the mistress entered at an inopportune moment, Gerry's inner being panicked

" Secretary sir, like we're in at the wrong time. We go in again next time, like the President is busy" Tisha smiled bitterly, then stepped out of the room she was just about to enter.

No, it's not what you think! why have you changed? why do you not care about me anymore?

Ray is disappointed to see Tisha leave and does not stop her while with Zee. Though previously the girl was always angry when Ray was close to her ex-lover.

Wh why? we're husband and wife, but it feels like we're so far apart? we are like strangers.. Damnit damnit! why am I like this? what is this uncomfortable feeling in my heart? It felt like my chest was on a prick looking at that bitter smile on his face.

The selfish man was holding his chest, he felt a sore but invisible part of his internal organs where the wound was. Sick but not bleeding, seeing his wife who had always paid attention to him, now instead ignore him.

Ray immediately tells Gerry to drag Zee out of his room even from his office. He forbids Zee from entering his office for no apparent reason and recklessly again. Zee feels Ray has started to change to her.

As soon as Zee leaves, with Ray's orders, Gerry helps Tisha to tidy up her belongings to the President's room. The desk where Tisha works is in a room with the room where her husband works.

"Thank you secretary sir for helping me clean up" Tisha said with a smile and handed Gerry a hot cup of coffee.

"Sama-sama madam, I mean Bu Tisha " replied Gerry as she sipped her coffee slowly

Ray was not happy to see the scene in front of him. He frowned, grumbling in his heart. Why can't he get a coffee from Tisha like Gerry? Ray thinks that Tisha chose love.

"Ehem, is Gerry the only one who gives coffee?" Ray cleared his throat, his cold face still remained the same.

This woman is so picky, to other men she can smile like that and make coffee. To me, her own husband, she's so cute.

"Does you want coffee too?"ask Tisha

"Well, if offered anyway may be " replied Ray with his jaim face

If you love me, I will.

"Sir secretary, you heard me, right? mr. President said he wanted coffee ", Tisha told Gerry

Does Miss Tisha not understand the President's intentions? like her she was jealous because she wasn't bought coffee by the mistress. Wait up? mr President is jealous??!. Gerry glanced at his President who looked annoyed, looking at him sharply.

"Ah? my president will immediately make coffee to the pantry" said Gerry with a confused face

What are her words meant for me?. Tisha said in her heart

"Fine sir, I'll go back to my table "

Actually, it's pretty good and it reduces my work as well. But what about the fate of the lady? what does the president mean to hire him as his personal assistant? This is so weird. Though the President never allowed anyone into his private room.

Gerry looked down respectfully, then he came out of the President's room.

"Why are you quiet?" ask her Tisha

"Then what should I do?" tisha asked while sitting in the chair where she was going to work

"I want coffee"

"Then?" tisha was confused

"Certainly make it! you are my personal assistant now!" ray was angry

"Alright sir " replied Tisha obediently

Why is he so annoying and talkative? he should have ignored me as usual.

"Do you know what coffee I want?" ray asked as he turned the documents on his desk and observed them one by one.

How could Tisha forget her husband's favorite coffee? for 2 years Tisha has been studying and trying to be a good wife for her husband. She knew all the things her husband liked and disliked, the man she loved as sincerely as he did, who never even saw her at all.

"I know, moccacino without whipe cream" replied Tisha

Tisha goes to the pantry to make Ray, the coffee he wants. Meanwhile Ray looks serious with documents piling up on his desk. Slowly the pile of documents was almost finished he was doing all.

A few minutes later, Tisha arrives and brings coffee to Ray's desk. The girl returned to her table, she also worked on some things related to Ray's schedule. Tisha can work well even though she does not enjoy her job as Ray's assistant.

That afternoon, Ray receives a call from his grandfather who invites him to dinner together at the mansion. His grandfather told Ray to come with Tisha.

"Grandfather invited us to the big house"

"What's wrong? is grandpa okay?" tisha asked worriedly, he knew that during this time the health of Mr. Faisal (grandfather Ray) was not good.

"Calm down, grandpa's fine. Grandpa just wants to take us to dinner together, there's also my aunt, uncle and my other cousins" Ray told his wife

Tisha's feelings are very uncomfortable, as she hears that Ray's aunt, uncle and cousin will be present at the dinner. Tisha remembered the unpleasant incident while being near them, her face became sad.

#FLASHBACKS

2 Years ago..

1 Week after Ray and Tisha's wedding. The newlyweds came to the Argantara family home. It was there that Tisha first met Argantara's extended family at a dinner.

Tisha received only a warm welcome from Faisal's father, while Ray's uncle, aunt and two cousins did not welcome him well at all.

"Ray, congratulations on your marriage" said Ms. Daniah (aunty Ray ) with a slight smile on her lips.

"Sama-sama " answered Ray coldly and briefly

"Ray Ray, I can understand your goal of getting married quickly to seize Argantara's company. But I don't understand why he has to?" ask a man whose age may not be much different from Ray's. He is Armand (cousin of Ray) son of Bu Daniah.

Armand glanced at Tisha with a cynical look. Tisha gasped at the humiliation that was in front of her. What's wrong with him? why did Armand look at her with a cynical look as if he was condescending?

"Please line down, Brother Armand. I didn't seize it, but Argantara's company is indeed mine "Ray smiled confidently

I will not allow you to seize the company that my grandfather and father built, even though you are my own family, Ray said in his heart.

"Why are you even making such a fuss at the dinner table? this is a place to eat, not a place to argue!" mr. Faisal said to his children and grandchildren.

At that time Tisha realized that Ray did not have a good relationship with his uncle, aunt and two cousins who always wanted the position of President Argantara. Sometimes Bu Daniah invites Tisha to her house, Tisha wants to refuse but she can do nothing. In honor of her husband's aunt's wishes, she always came to fulfill her vocation.

Ms. Daniah deliberately invited him to the house just to help him prepare food during the family gathering. Even Bu Daniah also blatantly insulted Tisha in front of all her friends because Tisha came from a poor family who was in a lot of debt.

Such treatment was not only one or two times he got from the Ray family. Very often Ms. Daniah forced her to come to the house and encouraged her as a maid.

One day Ray came home to a big house, he saw Tisha preparing food for the guests of Bu Daniah who was sitting on the sofa.

"Why is my wife here Auntie?" ask Ray

"Your wife did not accidentally visit here, so all aunt deh Tante asked to join the association of arisan mothers. Isn't that right, Tisha?" Ms. Daniah put on a fake smile, as if innocent

"I-iya Auntie "

"Good, you don't embarrass me" she whispered to Ray to Tisha, in a cold, heartless tone.

Instead of helping Tisha out of a predicament, Ray turns a blind eye to seeing his wife despised and treated at will by his family. Seeing Tisha being treated like that by Ray, Ms. Daniah, and Ray's two cousins further demeans Tisha.

During those 2 years Tisha was always alone facing all the treatment of Ray's family, because Ray did not care about her at all.

#END FLASHBACKS

.

.

This time I must refuse, I no longer want to be despised and demeaned. Moreover, no Ray will defend me. I don't want to feel pain anymore. Tisha daydreamed and looked sad.

Ray looked at Tisha who was standing silently staring in front of him. " Hey, you hear me?" ask Ray

"Can I not come?" ask Tisha

"Why?are you sick?" ray asked in a warm tone of voice, not as usual.

"Do I have to have a reason to get sick so I don't go there? I just don't want to come!" tisha was upset.

"Yes fine if you don't want to come, I'll tell grandfather " said Ray casually

As her circumstances were not good, I did not force her to leave. Just let it rest at home, said Ray anxiously to Tisha

Wh why? why are you acting like this now? In the past, you always forced me even though I did not want to and in pain I had to go with you. Why are you changing now?

Ray is surprised when he sees Tisha's face that looks not good, his eyes are glazed.

"Hey, are you okay?" ask Ray worriedly

These words that I was so anxious to hear from her, while looking at me anxiously, asked me if I was okay? but during those 2 years, she never did. Whatever he does I won't change my decision to divorce, I won't waver! because if this relationship continues, it will only be toxic.

"I don't need your father's attention, nor should I tell my grandfather. I will come tonight to have dinner together " said Tisha with a bitter smile

"If you can't come, that's fine" Ray said

"I will come" said Tisha firmly

Tisha returned to her seat, returning to work with the computer in front of her. Ray also returned to his seat, secretly looking towards his wife who looked serious with his computer.

What's the matter with her? he who is always attentive to me, prepares breakfast, prepares food, who always smiles every morning, welcomes my return with his warm smile. Why does he seem to not care about me now? Where is Tisha Anindita, the girl who always smiled warmly and chatty in front of me? actually, what's wrong with me?
