The Lady Rich System
Chapter 57: Defeating

That night repeated. Arsenio failed to have dinner with his wife. And the cause is the same. 

Ryan, CEO of RAZ. The name made Arsenio's heart inflamed. He wanted to beat him up and warn him not to go near his wife. 

However, all of that could only be done in his imagination. He couldn't do it for the money.

Money is the source of the current household disaster. Because of the money, Laura thirsts for work. And because of the money, Arsenio had to give up her wife to get close to Ryan in order to persuade him to cooperate with her.

"Money, money, money.all this is because of money!" arsenio said with her stifled angry voice and clenched her hands together to hold back her anger.

Angry, that's all he can do. He has no right to be angry at circumstances that all stem from his mistakes.

Arsenio covered her face using both palms and rubbed them roughly while saying,

"I wish I had been unselfish. Had I done what Laura wanted, none of this would have happened. I was stupid. I'm selfish. It's all because of my fault."

Everything he did right now and everything he said became useless. Time cannot be changed and he cannot change everything that has happened.

Arsenio sighed which sounded very tired. He was indeed tired of what he was facing, but he also did not want to give up so easily.

He left his place to meet his wife. He did not want their relationship to be ruined because of this problem.

He looked at the door of their tightly closed room. He sighed again when his hand held the door handle. He was afraid of the fact that the door was locked from the inside and he could not enter the room.

However, the fear was gone when the door opened when the door handle was moved. He breathed a sigh of relief and his smile slightly adorned his lips.

Get him in the room. With careful and very slow steps she entered her room. 

Laura was not in her bed. He heard the sound of water shower rustling from inside his bathroom.

Sit Arsenio on the sofa in the room. He held onto his stomach which suddenly made a sound from hunger that was restrained from earlier.

A few seconds later the bathroom door opened and Laura came out of it in long pajamas and hair wrapped in a white towel wrapped around her head.

It was like a dejavu for Arsenio. Last night that happened again. He could only look at his wife who was busy combing her hair.

"Darling, accompany me to eat yes" Arsenio said carefully.

Laura glanced at her husband from the mirror before her. She looked pity at her husband. Actually she felt sorry for her husband, but she still felt hurt by her husband's words and suspicions to her.

She felt tired and her sacrifice was not appreciated by her husband. She wanted to teach her husband a lesson by ignoring him.

However, at that very moment Laura saw the panel warning her. The object is lit up brightly so that the writing with capital letters on the screen can be easily read by him.

'WARNING!'

Laura bit her lower lip. She felt defeated by her husband. His breath sounded heavy in his ears.

"Prepare the food. I was tired and wanted to get some rest quickly" Laura said with a restraint of her frustration.

At once Arsenio moved from her seat. With a smile that voiced his pleasure, he came out of the room.

Laura simply looked at her husband with a sigh that hinted at his exhaustion.

"When do I feel all this?" laura's grunt accompanied by her breath.

However, he again sighed when he saw the panel still burning brightly as if he was warning him.

"OK. okay. I will try to improve our relationship" Laura said as if answering a warning from the object.

Laura's eyes widened to see everything on the dining table.

"What is all this?" laura asked, pointing at all the food.

Arsenio smiled broadly revealing a row of her teeth. He also said,

"This is the side dish I prepared yesterday. I couldn't eat it all yesterday. So I put it in the fridge."

Laura breathed back. He sat down limply on the dining chair that was in front of him. Then he said,

"Why not warm up first? Then...where is the rice? Is Mas Arsen eating only side dishes?"

Arsenio's smile disappeared. He forgot he didn't have rice. And he knew nothing to warm the food. 

"I haven't cooked rice, honey. I don't know how to cook rice. And I don't know how to warm the right food either. Usually it is you who cook and prepare food," replied Arsenio with a face to be forgiven by his wife.

Laura closed her eyes with a sigh that felt heavy on her chest. She only realized that her role in the house was not only as a wife, but also as a housekeeper.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said,

"Would I cook rice and warm up all this food or just deliveries?"

For a moment Arsenio thought. Then he smiled widely and said,

"If cooking seems to have to wait a long time. We better deliver. I'm so hungry."

Laura agreed. She was tired and did not want to cook. He nodded his head and said,

"Serve food."

Immediately Arsenio ordered food through her mobile phone. While Laura, with her tired body, she cleaned the food on the dining table by putting everything back in the refrigerator.

A few minutes later, ring their house bell. Immediately Arsenio got up from her seat and said,

"Let me open it. It must be our food."

Laura picked up the food in her kitchen. Carrying plates and spoons and forks he walked to the table and said,

"It just takes plates, spoons and forks, right?"

However, his eyes immediately widened to find various kinds of food on the dining table.

"What is this Mas? Why buy this much?" asked Laura who seemed to not believe what she saw.

"I was at a loss to choose him, so I just ordered everything," Arsenio replied lightly, without the slightest guilt.

"What?!" laura exclaimed with a shocked expression hearing the answer from her husband.

Arsenio simply smiled widely as if she had done nothing wrong.

"Although you're confused, don't order everything. Yesterday's food was not finished and is still stored in the refrigerator. Why did you order this much? Can you eat all this food?" asked Laura with regret.

Arsenio simply shook her head while smiling widely. He did not say anything to answer the question his wife had asked him.

Laura sighed and sat down weakly, as if powerless. Then he said,

"Then, this is all going redundant. Just like the food in the fridge. And most importantly, you're squandering your money. When can you pay all your debts if your attitude still does not care about the circumstances? As it is today."
