The flashback 2
Ray had worked for almost thirty days at the Fortuna Corp company, and all the tasks and orders from Martin he managed to complete smoothly without a hitch. It was easy for Ray to adjust to what Martin wanted, considering that he had previously worked independently for several foreign companies. Ray is indeed talented, and gifted with an intelligent brain in mastering new things, so no wonder if in just one month, he has managed to become Martin's favorite employee, along with Sierra.
"This is your room" Sierra showed me a private office by the name of Ray White at the door.
Ray smiled proudly, shaking Sierra's hand full of joy.
"I'll buy you a meal next time. Remind me, yes!" ray said, rushing into his room.
He's amazing. The small, box-shaped room was his own, with spacious windows and a padded work chair. Time and again Ray clucked in awe, making Sierra who stood beside him smile amusedly.
"How are you feeling, Ray?" ask Sierra. "Is your wife happy?"
Sierra certainly already knew about Karen, Ray's wife, because almost every day Ray complained about anything to Sierra. Their closeness is very fast because of Ray's attitude that is always friendly to anyone.
"He takes me every day to make children,"
"Yah!!" Sierra's laughter could not be controlled, just released after hearing Ray's words.
"Oh yes, today Mr. Paul, Mr. Martin's father will come to see you" Sierra said, almost forgetful because he was engrossed in discussing Ray's wife's ridiculous attitude.
Ray who was originally busy with his new room, immediately frowned. "Who?"
"He owns many companies, one of which is this company. Which he's now turning to Martin, his son," Sierra explained.
"Why does he want to see me?" ray asked confusedly.
Sierra knitted his two eyebrows. "Maybe he's heard your good performance from Martin," Sierra guessed, equally clueless.
Sierra's phone rang, and within a second of reading the name on the screen, Sierra signaled Ray to rush into Martin's room. Sierra's phone apparently went off because there was an incoming call for him from Martin. And without the need to bother lifting it, the call was certainly a call to come to his room.
"Good morning, Mr. Martin," said Sierra, entering Martin's room, followed by Ray beside him.
"How's your new room, Ray?" ask Martin.
Ray smiled broadly. "Thank you very much, sir. I will try to keep learning and better going forward,"
Martin nodded happily and satisfied. Since Ray's arrival, Paul's face has never calmed down. The goal of humiliating Martin on all directors was forced to fail, because the company's progress was actually increasing since Martin took office.
"Tomorrow night the Chairman held a dinner for the important people in the company. And you can bring your partner," said Martin.
The feeling this morning is very happy, directly proportional to the sunny weather out there. Ray seemed to glance at Sierra at a glance, and the young lady nodded. So Ray, who was as happy as Martin, kept smiling happily, imagining how happy Karen was when she heard this news.

"What's? Company dinner? With the owner of Fortuna Corp?" asked Karen in disbelief, after work Ray told her everything.
"People will be amazed at my wife's beauty" Ray said proudly. He kissed his wife's lips slowly.
"Keep, what am I supposed to wear, Ray? You know, I haven't been to a party in a long time, so I don't have a new dress to wear" Karen asked worriedly.
"But Ray .. " Karen did not rush to receive the card, but just looked at it hesitantly.
"It's okay, honey. Our lives are back to normal. You don't have to be so irritable anymore like you used to be" Ray said, trying to encourage his wife.
Finally, after being successfully convinced by Ray, Karen cautiously accepted the credit card.
"I promise to buy a dress" Karen said.
"Make it to the salon, too, honey. This is an important moment. If you're beautiful, people will praise me,"

The awaited dinner arrives. All the important people behind Fortuna Corp came, as did the entourage of Paul Willis and his family. From a distance Ray could see, his boss, Martin, was standing awkwardly next to his father. Ray for a moment was amazed by the charisma that Paul exuded. The old man, even though his hair was gray and his skin was wrinkled no longer young, his body remained upright and firm, there was no reproach at all. Ray could feel an aura of leadership and strong intimidation from a Paul Willis, so Martin, his own son did not dare to dwell much next to him.
"Where's your wife?" sire Sierra, who suddenly stood next to Ray. The woman offered Ray a drink.
"He's still on the road, he said, until, uh,"
"I was curious, as to how the face of his wife Ray, so that it could be so bucin," Sierra quipped, accompanied by an amused laugh.
"Si, that's who's the woman next to Martin?" ray asked to switch the conversation.
Sierra followed Ray's gaze. Then he nodded.
"Oh, that's Sophie Willis, Mr. Paul's wife,” Sierra replied.
When the two of them were busy talking, the files were talking about every important guest who came, the whole crowd was made excited by the arrival of a woman with an amazingly beautiful, beautiful woman, long-haired unravels and wears a long black dress. The beautiful appearance is also supported by minimalist elegant makeup and sparkling white earrings.
“Karen .. “ call Ray, be amazed by the beauty of his own wife.
Sierra glared wide. “That's your wife, Ray?” he cried in disbelief.
At the sight of Ray, Karen rushed over to her husband, as she began to feel awkward with the gazes of the people who kept on looking at her.
On the other hand, just like everyone else who was amazed by Karen's beauty, so did Martin, who stood stiffly unblinkingly as he watched Karen walk like an angel with a big smile towards Ray. Martin's eyes could not be separated from the figure of Karen, even he was willing to stop breathing just to look at the woman.
And without him fully realizing it, his body had moved itself towards Karen who was chatting with Ray and Sierra. Upon seeing Martin's approaching figure but with a blank look, Sierra immediately pinched Ray's arm to stop speaking. So the three men stood there, astonished to see Martin approaching them.
“There can we help you, Mr Martin?” ask Sierra wonder.
Martin's eyes did not want to be separated from Karen, until the woman was a little careless.
“Who is this woman, Ray?” ask Martin to Ray. Martin doesn't even care about Sierra being upset because his questions are ignored.
“Oh, introduce, Mr. Martin, this is my wife,” Ray replied, quickly telling Karen to extend her hand.
“Karen White,” says Karen.
Martin received the helping hand with unblinking eyes. “Martin,”
