The newly finished Anne prepared to leave her room immediately, then threw her weight on the chair opposite her husband.
His gaze immediately fell on the breakfast menu on the dining table, then his eyes turned toward the kitchen where the servant was busy there.
"Today Mark can't take you so we're off together for the office" James said, breaking the silence between them.
Anne who was chewing her food immediately looked at her husband. "I can take public transportation." he said later.
"I don't like rejection." James insisted and immediately made Anne put her spoon on the plate a little rough.
"Why do you like to force ?" snarl.
"If you get on the train it will be too late until the office and office never tolerate any employees who are late to enter." James said without being affected by his wife's anger that even the man looked very relaxed.
Anne seemed to pursed her lips, even though the man said it was true. Remembering the first time he arrived late, because using the train and ended up getting a scolding from the HRD.
"But what if the employees in the office see us coming together ?" anne asked, because no one knew their true relationship.
"I don't care." James said, wiping his lips with a tissue, and then immediately got up from his seat.
"But I do care, what if they think things out ?" tymbal Anne again, who of course made her husband stop going, then looked at him for a moment.
"Why should you care about their words? I pay them to work not to gossip." James said, then walked away.
"Yes you're the boss, and I'll definitely be the bounty all over the office." Anne grumbled in annoyance, then she finished her breakfast because she was no longer tasteful.
Moments later they arrived at her office and as Anne thought many pairs of eyes saw her get off the vice-director's car.
As long as he stepped, there were whispers that did not wear a heart, even their eyes looked unfriendly while looking at him.
"Hm."
Suddenly, Deheman's voice stopped Anne from entering her room. "Yet from anywhere? just leave and don't come back, you think this is your ancestors' office ?" reprimanding Madame Darrien with a fierce tone as usual, the woman is more worthy of being called the female version of James. Because every word that comes out of his lips sounds spicy and annoying.
Anne seemed to sigh, lazy to argue in the morning because it could make her mood messy.
"Why shut up? just so you know Mr. James entrusted all of his employees to me, so I have the power to fire anyone who doesn't comply with the rules in this office. So quickly explain to me if not." said Mrs Darrien stopped when Anne suddenly interrupted her.
"If it's okay? wanna fire me? what if Mr. James didn't get me back in the office yesterday, would you fire him, too ?" sela Anne with a slanted smile looked at her HRD.
"What do you mean ?" Madame Darrien instantly widened her eyes.
"Please ask Mr. James yourself, for I have no time to explain." said Anne, then stepped back into her room.
"Wait a minute, who told you to come in !!" Madame Darrien immediately blocked Anne's arm and made the woman stop her steps, then turned to look at her.
"Mrs Darrien I'm doing a lot of work." Anne lamented in an annoyed tone.
Madame Darrien who noticed Anne's white neck seemed to be squeaking when she saw there was a purplish red mark there.
"You're wasting my time." Anne said as the grown woman before her said nothing, then he immediately entered his room leaving the woman who still seemed shocked without his knowledge of course.
"W-did they sleep together yesterday ?"
Unknowingly Madame Darrien seemed to clench her hands, a hint of anger was implied in her eyes.
"Mom, did Miss Darrien do anything to you ?" cecar Andrew when he saw his manager just entered his room.
"No, why ?" ask Anne.
"Thankfully, Ms. Darrien did not tolerate a mistake and would have fired her immediately" Andrew said.
"That's absolutely right, ma'am, especially the female employee who tried to seduce Mr. James." said another employee named Caroline.
"Why is that? does he have a crush on Mr James? it's impossible, doesn't she remember her age." Anne immediately frowned when she remembered her HRD was over 40 years old while James was only 30 years old.
"We don't know ma'am, but it's been like that all along." Caroline seemed to spread her shoulders clueless.
"Not discussed anymore, let's go back to your respective tables !!" anne's orders later, and then she also enters her room.
The woman does not want to bother thinking about things that are not her business, it is better for her to focus on her work alone.
Elsewhere James, who had just received a call from Grace, rushed out of his office that afternoon, the man was seen in a hurry after getting word that his wife had just fallen.
I don't know what he's gonna do to that woman, because ever since he learned of her betrayal he's never seen her. Not because he just let it go, but he still thinks about the fetus in the woman's womb.
He was worried that his emotions could hurt the woman's womb and if the fetus was her flesh and blood then he would feel very guilty.
If so then what is the difference he and his parents who could hurt his own flesh and blood, although his life always intersected with the black world James still has a conscience not to do that.
"What has happened, tell me how it contains ?" james asked upon his arrival to be greeted by his mother-in-law.
"James, actually...."
James, who could not wait to hear his mother-in-law's explanation, just stepped into his room and opened the door a little harshly.
There, Grace was sitting casually in front of the television and looked shocked when she saw her arrival.
"Darling, you've finally come" he said, pouring into the man's arms.
"You lied to me ?" James immediately broke the woman's embrace.
"I'm sorry, if I didn't lie you couldn't have come here right away. The distance from your office is only 1 hour but why are you so hard to come here, don't you miss this child ?" she recalled that this month the man only visited her once.
"Are you sure he's my son ?" james said with anger that he was trying to hold.
"Ten-of course this is your dear child, have you forgotten we've spent some time together ?" Grace looks nervous.
James seemed to be tightening his jaw. "Say where did you hide that bastard ?" furious when he lost track of Nick, the man he believed to be his wife's bodyguard turned out to be betraying him.
"I don't understand what you mean, baby." Grace tried to persuade.
"Then what is this ?" James who was filled with anger immediately threw some photos of the woman's togetherness with the bodyguard.
"This is not what you see, you're misunderstanding" Grace said, taking one of her pictures on the floor.
"Misunderstand me ?" James grinned at his wife and stretched out his hand and strangled her.
"How many times have you slept with her? say !!" hardship without mercy.
"James, let go you've hurt her. What if your son is why? remember James you brought Nick here after your wife was declared pregnant, so how can you accuse her of being pregnant with another man." Barbara explained with a worried face, as the man nearly killed her daughter.
James, who heard her mother-in-law's words, immediately loosened his strangulation, causing Grace to push him away.
The woman looked paled with breathless breathing. "If you don't believe this is your son, why am I and he alive again" he said, then took a fruit knife on the table and scratched it into his wrist until fresh blood appeared to pour out.
"Grace, what are you doing ?" Barbara immediately grabbed the knife in her daughter's hand.
While James looked fixated as if he could not believe what he saw.
