The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 39

Tok tok tok tok

A knock on the door from the outside distracts Zack from his laptop screen.

"Lock !" Zack said please come in.

The door opened, Johan went inside. "There are guests who want to meet you."

"Is there an appointment ?" zack asked, feeling like today there was no appointment with someone.

"No sir." Replied Johan, it is not nice to disturb Zack who is busy working.

"Johan you know I'm busy today." Zack said to reprimand Johan who was bothering him.

"Sorry sir, I can't refuse her because she insisted on wanting to meet." Johan explained.

Hearing Johan's words made Zack curious about the guests who forced to meet. "Who is that guest ?"

"Nurhaliza, son of our Malaysian investor Mr. Datuk Alam."

Zack thought for a moment before saying. "Let him come in, I wonder what made him come here without being invited."

Johan goes out to let Nurhaliza into Zack's office.

"How are you, Miss Nurhaliza ?" Zack said he formally held out a hand to shake his hand when Nurhaliza walked into his room.

"Very good Mr. Zack, thank you." Nurhaliza replied smilingly replying to Zack's handshake. " I'm sorry to come without prior notice."

"It's okay." Zack said as he invited his guests to sit on the sofa. "Is there anything important that you want to tell me right so that it comes suddenly like this ? There's a problem with our hotel building project in Malaysia ?"

"The project has been going well until now, you don't have to worry."

"Good then, so what made you come here ?" Zack said curious.

"It's not something related to work and important things related to our project." Nurhaliza said with a friendly smile.

"Then ?" Zack asked in wonder.

"It's a personal matter, I just want to invite you to lunch together." Nurhaliza finally informed her arrival after previously speaking in circles made Zack a little confused.

"Oh....." Zack's first reaction when he heard it.

"You don't have a lunch appointment with anyone else, do you ?"

Zack was about to answer but was obstructed by the sound of a phone call coming in from his cellphone located on the sofa table in front of them to make their attention both of them turned on the screen written Alanna my wife's.

Zack took his cell phone. "I'm sorry if you had to lift it." Zack told Nurhaliza before moving away to his desk to pick up the phone. "Hallo, why Alanna ?" Zack said when the phone line was connected.

"Where is it ?" ask Alanna from across the street.

" In my room."

"Mas busy ? if I'm busy just go home for lunch."

"No, come here, I told Johan to order food from the hotel kitchen."

"Okay, I'm going a little bit more."

"Yes." Yeah." Zack then disconnects the phone. Zack returned to the couch, joined by a curious guest, who saw the incoming nickname written on his phone screen. "Sorry to keep you waiting." Zack said after sitting on his chair.

"It's okay."

"Sorry Miss Nurhaliza like her I can't accept your invitation to lunch together because there's already an appointment with someone else." Zack said politely with a sorry look

"With your wife ?" Nurhaliza asked curiously even though she knew this question was impolite. "You're married, Mr Zack ? as far as I'm concerned you're not married as soon as I hear." Add her while glancing at Zack's fingers and see the wedding ring on her ring finger.

"Sorry Miss Nurhaliza, it's my privacy concern and I'm not obligated to answer your questions." Zack said with a polite smile.

Disappointed by Zack's words but trying to cover it up. "Then excuse me for not bothering you again, until we meet again in Malaysia Mr. Zack." Nurhaliza pamit stood up.

"No need, I already know the way, excuse me." Nurhaliza turned to walk towards the door and disappeared behind the door.

"Mas Zack had a guest ?" Alanna asked on the sidelines of their lunch.

"Yes, a guest from Malaysia."

"I just passed her on the elevator, I'm going outside and she's coming in. Isn't she the woman I told you about seeing her walk with Johan ?" Alanna asked curiously.

"Yes, that woman."

"If you may know what he came here for ? business business ?" Alanna asked doubtfully.

"No, personal business, he wants to take me to lunch." Zack replied indifferently lazily talking about the woman.

"So what did you say ?" Alanna's getting curious.

"I told you there was a lunch appointment with someone else."

"It doesn't matter if you talk like that ? isn't he the son of a gold investor for a hotel building project in Malaysia ?" Alanna asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Zack reassured. "The development of hotels in Malaysia is a project with billions of funds is unlikely to fail just because of personal problems, he said, his father didn't pull himself out in the middle of the project just because of it and he knew it." Zack added it.

"O." Alanna said understand and was relieved to hear it. "He came all the way from Malaysia just to take the mas for lunch, maybe he had a special feeling towards mas Zack." Alanna said trying doesn't sound jealous.

"Mas doesn't know and doesn't care if he comes all the way just to take me to lunch." Zack said cuek. "He saw the incoming call from you earlier and asked."

"Why is it with my phone ?" Alanna asked in surprise while thinking. "Mas keeps my number on my phone with what's it written ?" Alanna suddenly thought.

" It certainly says my wife." Answer Zack casually.

"And he saw her then asked ?" Alanna started to panic.

"Yes, of course, he's very curious." Zack replied casually smiling at Alanna's panicked behavior.

"Mas instead smiled, not the time to smile at this moment mas." Alanna scolds Zack for not liking. "If he told people how ? I answered what when he asked."

"I didn't answer her, even if she spoke to someone else maybe no one believed her because she didn't have any evidence so just calm down Alanna."

"Thank God then." Alanna said relieved. Pushing his plate, already not tasteful to eat.

Zack is still enjoying his meal and Alanna is still sitting down to accompany Zack to finish his lunch.

"Mba Yanti mas secretary is not suspicious of me who always comes to the mas room every day ?" Alanna asked out a question that suddenly crossed her mind.

"Johan told me we're married." Zack said casually, pushing his dinner plate then drinking water.

"What !" Alanna was surprised to hear that. "Why did you tell him ? didn't we agree to keep her a secret ?" Alanna said, looking at Zack's anger.

"Look down, Alanna." Zack said softly.

"How can you calm down if soon the entire staff of this hotel will know about our wedding."

"Johan has made his promise not to tell us about our relationship and if until anyone knows it means he who spreads if it happens the consequences he will be fired and will not receive severance from the company." Zack explained.

Hearing Zack's explanation made Alanna breathe a sigh of relief. "Good then mas." Alanna smiled happily. "The instant I passed by he immediately stood up smilingly saying that the mas was waiting inside because he was expressionless before when I asked the mas to him." Added Alanna making Zack smile at her hearing.
