Stuck With An Arrogant CEO
The Failed Party

🌹Vote yes guys🌹

Day after day passed so quickly for David. But for Lily, this was too slow. Instead of getting tired of seeing David sitting in the apartment, Lily could not focus on her work and learning.

David did start to return to work, but he spent more time at home. Like tomorrow work, then tomorrow no. Or go home early and choose to take her job to the apartment to be with Lily and tease her.

As of now, Lily is reading an English science book to enrich her knowledge and vocabulary, unfortunately the David behind her continues to kiss her cheek, even David lifted Lily's body and held her in his lap.

"David….."

"I won't do anything, just shut up and watch you learn."

Too much money makes David reluctant to move from activities to disturb his wife.

Lily is a little uncomfortable, almost a month and a half David is not focused on his work, he prefers to be alone with Lily and billows under a thick blanket, sweating together and mutually satisfying each other. 

They do a lot of things, but most of them end up in bed. Wherever, whenever, whatever he does, David is always looking for ways to touch him until Lily gets tired.

"Why did you come home so early today?"

"I'm afraid you're afraid of being alone."

"I'm used to it."

"Then don't get used to it."

"Why don't you just work anymore?"

"It's done, my secretary did it."

And this was unexpected, David's new secretary was an old man of Holland's age. Maybe even older. The pace was very slow, trailing far behind David.

For Radit, Lily is forbidden to see him again and if she wants to meet him or anything else, it must be under David's supervision and eyesight. 

"Pity him, you should have helped."

"He's the one who should help. I'm the boss."

Lily kept quiet, she refocused on the book in front of her. The library is full, but mostly about business. Here Lily learns if there is free time and finishes cleaning everything, including bathing David.

What makes Lily worried is that when heading into the night, usually he will be made to stay up by David. Every night, every time there is free time, David seems never satisfied with it.

"Is Oma coming?" Ask Lily.

"No, why?"

"I miss him."

"Oma is in lazy mode out, she doesn't want her skin to be black."

Actually, Lily often does video calls with Oma, even Oma always sends Eta to bring something for her.

"Isn't Oma sick?"

"He's just not feeling well. Since long ago Oma Selaly hid if she had pain, she did not want to make others sad. If I'm sad, he's getting worse."

Lily and Oma's last video call was yesterday morning, indeed Oma was lying in bed. David forbids Lily from going out and seeing Oma, because David himself knows how Oma does not want to look weak even in front of her grandchildren and children.

"At least we should go see him…"

"We'll see him later after Luke's party."

"Ah yes, party. Will Oma also be present?"

"Darling did you forget? It's just a friend's party, not involving family," said David with his hands rubbed Lily's smooth thighs.

He made the woman close the book. "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Well, bring a snack if you come back."

Lily nodded, she went to the bathroom. Actually going to the bathroom just to avoid David, Lily felt lethargic this late. Offset David always can not do, especially this time Lily feels dizzy often.

While in the bathroom, Lily stared at her reflection. He felt that his chest was getting swollen.

"Gosh, it's getting bigger. David plays it too often."

Lily took a deep breath, she sat on the closet. Feeling the dizziness that hit back. "What's this about? Why do I feel so dizzy?"

Not long after, Lily felt nauseous. He vomited opening his mouth against the sink. Lily deliberately drained the water so that the sound of vomit was not heard. 

Lily was lethargic, she quietly sat back in the closet.

Unknowingly, Lily held onto her stomach. "I should have come by the moon, and it's late.

There was a sense of uneasiness when Lily imagined herself pregnant, she was terrified. "Am I pregnant?"

What Lily fears is that she is not ready to be a mother, which will make her child happy and protect her.

However, on the other hand, Lily was happy if that was true. He was given trust by God. "Am I pregnant?"

"Lily darling, what are you doing inside? Come on out."

"In a moment" said Lily, tidying her hair.

On his way out, David looked worried, "What's up? Are you sick?"

"No, David. I'm fine. We're going out, aren't we tonight?"

"Yes, to Luke's party? Why?"

"No, just ask," said Lily still wanted to not tell.

He wants to give something for sure, if it's true, then Lily will make it a surprise for David.

In the afternoon as Lily dresses up, Oma comes along with Eta.

"Oma... Isn't Oma sick? Why not just rest."

"Who said Oma was sick?" Oma asked by lifting her chin, she wanted to look gallant in front of others. Oma did not want to look weak, the reason why she did not allow people to come when she was sick. "Oma's healthy."

"God…."

"Don't stand up, isn't Marylin cleaning your hair."

Lily pursed her lips, she looked back at the reflection in the mirror. They were in the downstairs room, while David was dressed up in a second-floor room with a man in charge of tidying things up. It was David's new fashion stylist Lily knew.

"Welcome, Big Lady," said Marylin.

"Hello you're a man."

"Mrs Big…"

"Shut up and finish, I want to talk to my granddaughter."

Marylin silent. "Okay, Big Madam," he said focused.

"Did Oma come with Eta?"

"Yes, he brought back the potion for you to be fertile."

"really? Thank you, Oma…"

"Jeez.." - Gumam Oma was sitting on the bed. "Oma's house is very quiet without you guys."

"Sorry, Oma. Lily tried to persuade David, but she wanted to stay here."

"It's okay." Oma shook her hand. "You have to stay here to be free to make dough anywhere."

Lily was silent in embarrassment.

"Yes, rather than in Oma's house, you make dough anywhere making Oma think it's an earthquake."

Lily held back her smile. When Marylin finished, Lily asked her to come out.

Before Lily says anything, Oma interrupts, "Oma wants to say something."

"I. yes, Oma. Lily's listening."

"Look.." Oma held Lily's hand.

"What's something serious going on, Oma?"

"Yes, something serious."

"What's that?"

"Lily darling, you know Oma loves you very much."

"Lily knows, Oma."

Oma took her breath in. "Oma please…. You stick with David, change him slowly. He's not a good man."

Lily smiled hearing that. "Oma, Lily will stick with David if she wants to change and improve herself with Lily. As long as she has a wish, Lily will be with her."

"Lord, thank you for sending this teenager to his granddaughter."

Lily laughed a little. "And, Oma, there's something Lily wants to say."

"What's that?"

"Tell Oma."

"That, mmm…. Lily.." lily…."

"Say, Lily."

"This month Lily came late to the moon," he said slowly made Oma round her eyes.

Oma enthusiastic. "REally?!"

"But Lily hasn't checked Oma, yet" said Lily holding Oma's hand to keep her from moving. "Lily just felt nauseous and dizzy."

"Darling, that's the sign. You're pregnant."

"Oma. keep your voice down, David doesn't know."

"He doesn't know?"

Lily nodded. "Lily wants to give him certainty."

"You know, honey, David's thirty-seventh birthday next week. If you're positive, it'll be a gift for her."

Lily was surprised. "Thirty-seven?"

It's surprising David is old, a dozen years different. But his charisma did not fade, he was also still as dashing as the man of his early thirties.

"Oma knows she's old, but she's still joss isn't she?"

Lily chose silence.

"Hows it? Want to surprise her?"

Lily nodded. "Does Lily have to buy a pregnancy test?"

"Yes, test pack, you know how to wear it, right?"

Lily nodded.

"How did you know?"

"Lily read on the internet."

"Good, later Oma told Eta to buy him silence. Okay well? When you leave, Oma will still be here. Oma's tools will be stored in a hidden place so that only you can know."

Lily nodded back. "Okay, Oma."

Oma clapped her hands afterwards. "It's gonna be fun."

David looked at himself in the mirror. "It's good" he murmured as he himself wore an ash suit.

Not long heard the phone call, it was from Sebastian.

"Hallo, Bas?"

"Hallo, man. How's it going? Two months I'm going to Italy, you having fun?"

David clenched his jaw for a moment. "You're going to Luke's party?"

"Oh sure, we'll be handed out their wedding invitations."

David remained silent.

"Oh, David. I heard your hotel in Bali is over, baby you don't have a yacht."

"I'll have it" said David in a sharp voice.

It makes Sebastian laugh there. "Woho, do you remember the three of us?"

"Yes, I remember, and I did. We'll talk later at the party."

"Good, see you."

David hangs up the phone, he exits the room and finds Lily in a blue dress sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

His exposed back made David unnerved, let alone his hair that was unraveled with a small purple ribbon on the part of his hair. 

Lily looks beautiful.

"See whose wife is beautiful?"

"Of course it's your wife" Oma chirps to make David realize there's Oma there.

"Omma? When did you come?"

"Oma will eat here, you guys just go."

"Don't play people's stuff, Oma."

"I see," said Oma, reluctant to argue.

David held Lily's hand. "We're leaving."

Using a classic BMW, they head to Luke's house.

"You're so pretty, honey."

"Thank you" Lily smiled.

"By the way, who's Luke's wife?"

"Candidate, Honey. He's Luke's childhood friend, they've loved each other and were betrothed since childhood."

"really? Have you been playing with Luke since you were a kid?"

David laughing. "Honey, me, Luke and Sebastian aren't the same age."

"What?" Lily looked surprised. "Not the same age?"

"No, we did go to college together. But not the same age. Luke was the youngest, he was still thirty-two years old. While Sebastian, he was the oldest, he had already entered thirty-eight years at the moment."

"Thirty-eight?"  Lily is surprised, because Sebastian has a face that looks the same age as Luke and David.

"Yes, he's old."

"And not married?"

"Sebastian is reluctant to commit, he just thinks it's a game."

Lily kept quiet, making David aware. He immediately kissed his wife's hand. "Now I won't do it."

Lily smiled.

When she reached Luke's residence, Lily frowned. It's so quiet in there.

"Are you sure the party's here?" Ask Lily.

"I'm sure, honey."

And when I opened the door, there was Luke and Sebastian inside. Only the two of them were gulping down alcohol between such amazing party decorations.

"Luke? What'sthis?" David asked in wonder.

"The party's not so, Medina wants us to get married next year."

"Are you kidding me?" Ask David again.

It makes Sebastian laugh. "Look, I hate women because of this. They want to master and do it."

Lily stayed by David's side.

"What's really going on, Luke?"

"There was a call from her job, Medina wanted her modeling career to be smooth, so she left this party."

"Your grandfather knows?"

Luke nodded. "He understood Medina, and told me to do the same."

Lily's gaze was fixed on a woman who was cleaning up the decorations. The only woman other than herself, the article in this mansion there is only herself, David, Luke, Sebastian and the woman who is cleaning it.

"Who is he, Luke?" Ask Lily. "Is she Medina?"

"Are you kidding me?" Sebastian interrupted.

Luke immediately replied, "His name is Rara, she's Medina's personal unifier, Medina always entrusts everything to the girl." 

"I'll see him, I think the three of you need some space."
