The Charm of the Widow
You Must Not Be My Thali

The next day, Thalia and Moohan had prepared to head to Thompson Group headquarters. Princess has also been dressed beautifully because she will be invited. Maria who will accompany to take care of the little girl, before the afternoon she will go home with Assistant Zack.

They had breakfast together before leaving for the office. Mrs Brenda appears to have advised her son and daughter-in-law not to get carried away by emotions when she meets Alexander, who is reportedly coming with his wife and mother. "Face with a cold head whatever happens later" he said.

Thalia nodded her head, understood. "Yes, Ma. Mama's advice I'll always remember."

Moohan smiled at how polite and obedient the wife was to the mother. The eagle-eyed man then grasped the wife's hand and kissed her gently. "I won't let anyone humble my queen" she said, leaving Thalia flattered.

After enjoying the first breakfast in the hometown of Thalia, Moohan and Thalia then immediately moved on. They then immediately headed for the main door of the luxurious building. Thalia walked over while hugging the arms of the husband who was holding the princess. Followed by Assistant Zack who took the lover's affection.

Madam Brenda who came out, waved her hands to let go of all of them. The graceful woman then took over King from the baby sitter's sling. "Let King be with me, Sus. You can do another job."

Moohan's mother then took the granddaughter to the park in the penthouse area. Yes, Moohan chose a temporary residence like this for the comfort of her loved ones. Besides because the place is close enough to the office so that the wife will not be exhausted.

Meanwhile, in a luxury car driven by Assistant Zack, Thalia who sat in the back leaned her head on the shoulder of the husband. "I hope you keep an eye out when you meet Sarah later, Dad," she asked.

Moohan who held me Princess, let out a long sigh. "Since that day, I've ended my adventure, Honey. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zack.

Thalia. "I believe the story about you back then, Hubby. It's just, I don't know why I'm jealous knowing that right now you're going to meet your favorite woman."

Moohan peeps in Thalia's forehead. "She was one of my favorite women, Honey, but in the past. A time where I only put forward pleasure. Now, my beloved woman is you, Honey, and will not be replaced forever" he promised.

"Do you think I'm not jealous because you're also going to meet someone special in your past, Honey? Honestly, I'm jealous too. Especially if you remember the first time we were in touch in my personal room, the name of him you always call," continued Moohan with hardened jaws, holding anger if remembered in the past.

Thalia smiled and kissed the husband on the cheek. "That was when I didn't know that his love for me wasn't as deep as my love for him. I'm a fool, Hubby. I'm blinded by love for the wrong people."

Behind the wheel, Zack cleared his throat. "Do you guys still want to talk in here all day?" ask him while opening the car window.

Apparently, they have arrived at the office. Zack parked his car in a special place. Moohan, who opened the window, was upset.

"Why didn't you tell me from earlier, Zack?" moohan Protest.

Zack chuckles. "You are too late in the nostalgia of the unimportant past, until you pay no attention to the streets. We've even arrived before, but since Alexander and his wife are standing there waiting for someone, I'll let you guys here first."

"Yes, already. You guys hurry inside. Let the Princess be with us first. Later if the core event is over, I'll take Princess there" Zack suggested later.

Thalia must have stepped next to her husband. His gaze was straight forward with his chin raised, full of confidence because of the husband who always supported him. Unlike how she used to be Alexander's wife, she never walked with her shoulders straightened and her chin raised because her mother-in-law always intimidated her.

Along the way through the lobby, Thalia kept a friendly smile on everyone she met. Thalia's beautiful face and graceful appearance make all employees in the Thompson Group no one recognizes. Moreover, he was rarely invited by Alexander to his office, only occasionally and it can be counted with fingers.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs Hendrick," said one of the company's leaders who already knew Moohan and some time ago helped Thalia's husband when taking care of the stock purchase.

Moohan then led the wife into the room that had been prepared for the handover ceremony for the new leadership position, in the company Thompson Group. All eyes looked in amazement at the young couple who had just walked into the meeting room. Except for two pairs of eyes that were watching the two with different gazes, Alexander and Sarah.

'No way! That's definitely not him! Thalia was not that confident. He was shy and if he walked, he would have lowered his face. Thalia was also not good at makeup, Alexander's still unblinking mind stared at the beautiful woman who had just entered with Moohan.

'He? I'm kind of familiar with her face, but where have I met that woman?' Sarah frowned scanning the friendly-looking woman beside Moohan. Moohan's former date tried to remember.

'No-no! Hendrick must be kidding. He couldn't possibly marry that cleaner!' After remembering about Thalia, Sarah felt furious herself.

'If Hendrick married her, Hendrick would have been blind! What's more, anyway, him? Can't Hendrick see that I'm more everything than that Thalia!' Sarah can only hold the resentment in her heart.

The open meeting in order to hand over the position was immediately started. Everyone seemed to be seriously listening, but not with Alexander and his wife. Both of them thought about Thalia.

While Lady Grace who was also present there, seemed to not care about the woman who was with Moohan. Maybe because he did not recognize Thalia at all which was quite drastic. Of course Thalia dressed up as a woman in the upper class because in addition to the husband, the mother-in-law also fully supports her.

"To Mr. Alexander as the old leader, we beg to stand up" said the host.

Alexander who did not seem to hear what the host had said, was still speechless in his place. The mother, who realized that her son was daydreaming, nudged Alexander's arm. "Ale, it's time for you to show that you can't just be replaced" whispered Mrs Grace.

Alexander awoke from the daydream and immediately stood up. The man who had full power in the company had protested over the decision of the board of directors that he considered too soon to make a decision, before the handover ceremony took place. Replacing an important position in a large company such as Thompson Group must go through many considerations, not solely because it has the largest stake. He spoke while glancing at Moohan who looked the same friendly wife who he thought was similar to Thalia.

The host seemed to signal that Alexander stopped his speech which was no longer important because the board of directors' decision had been unanimous and mutually agreed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander. It's not a good time to talk about it." The bespectacled man who was asked to be the MC then smiled.

"Next, for the new leadership of Thompson Group which has been agreed by our board of directors please stand up. To Mrs Thalia Hendrick Moohan, we're pleased."

Hearing the host mention the name of the beautiful woman who resembled his ex-wife with the name Thalia, Alexander's heart seemed to stop beating. She looked back at Thalia from the tip of her hair to the tip of the female high heels that were currently standing before. His chest suddenly felt very tight. "No way, you're definitely not my Thali" he murmured.
