Episode 21: Darren's wife's strange attitude
A man sits while checking some files, reading glasses add to his seriousness in work, he is immersed in his world. Work is the most fun thing for workaholics.
Cringe Cringe
The sound of the phone echoing in his office, he caught a glimpse before picking up the phone.
“Ya”
“Hoon?” the voice of a woman from across the street. The voice sounded familiar and he knew who was calling but he wished it wasn't true.
...🖤...
Darren felt that there was something strange about his wife's attitude, these days Valerei always asked him the same question. Even if Valerei could not contact her husband, she would ask Are.
The day before, he got a lot of questions from his wife.
Wednesday
“You busy?” ask Valerei.
“Today yes, tomorrow will probably be busy at noon.”
“Oke” Valerei hung up.
~
Thursdays
“You busy?”
“Siang later, what's up?”
“It's okay, well then.” tut tut tut, phone just dropped out.

Jum’at
“What Darren busy?” ask her to Are.
“Mr is meeting Madam, I will convey..”.
“Oh no need Are, I just ask, you've worked hard.” yet Are reply Valerei has closed it.

Saturday
“you--”
“Halo,”
“Tomorrow is not busy, what is it?”
Darren immediately replied before Valerei even asked.
“Your schedule is solid ya”
“There's ap---”
“Alright” and his phone just disconnected.
That day, he grew curious about his wife's attitude. Darren raised his eyebrows, if now his wife can not understand the language well, he even said not busy but Valerei said the schedule is solid. What's wrong with him.
.
On Sunday, a message went to Are's cell phone. His boss's wife asked the husband's schedule on Sunday. Are replied according to Darren's instructions. But Valerie did not retaliate, she immediately reported to her boss.
Not long after she contacted Are, a message came into Valerie's cell phone telling her that her husband was going out of town and was coming home the next day. She nodded and closed her husband's message without replying.
...🖤...
Darren had just finished his meeting, he got into the car and asked his personal bodyguard. “What is my wife doing?”
“Mistress just woke up Mr.” she saw her watch already showing at 2pm.
“Nola says mistress just slept after dawn.” Said Are looking back at Darren.
Since getting married, Darren doesn't really know his wife's sleep and wake schedule, but because Valerei leaves for work at 7, so he thinks his wife always got up early last morning what she did until she didn't sleep at night and just went to bed this morning while it was a workday.
“Do I need to call Mister?" ask Are.
“No need. I'll call him later.”
Lodging
Darren laid down his body and closed his eyes with his arms. He planned to call his wife but her tired body drove him to sleep in concern at his wife's attitude.
“I want a divorce!” The woman's voice rose, she shouted right in front of the man who was looking at her in shock.
“No, what are you talking” the man resolutely refused.
“I'm tired,” He gave her divorce papers and his wedding ring and left in tears.
The man woke up, his eyes looking forward and his hands holding his tight chest. It was a dream, a nightmare. Darren breathed a heavy and long breath, he prayed.
...🖤...
A man got off the plane walking with a few bodyguards. Some eyes looked at him in amazement. He continued walking without looking back until a small hand pulled him back and instead of being interested, the woman was pulled to the other side. “Aduh.” The woman stroked her painful hand.
“Nyonya.” Shouts Are make Darren look back. Are did not see Valerei's arrival, nor did the bodyguard holding Valerei's hand, precisely twisted to release him.
Seeing the woman who pulled him was his wife. Darren took Valerei's hand. His wife was almost crying. Although Valerei was not a weak woman but the strength of this large and sturdy bodyguard could not be compared to her.
“Sorry sir, I don't know. Sorry madam.” her face is pale. Darren nodded, he understood the duty of a bodyguard. This was the fault of his wife who came to surprise the guards who had quick reflexes in dealing with the problem.
“Other times don't be surprised like that, you can get hurt.” Valerei nodded, they again walked out of the airport and into the waiting car.
Darren's face is stiff, maybe this is what's called a dry kanebo.
“Are we're at the hospital.” The order came down directly from the owner.
The woman next to him was shocked. “You sick?” ask Valerei
“Your hands should be checked.” Husband's law. Valerei did not think out, her husband was worried excessively or what. “Hah? No need, thanks rub oil is also good. anyways this is not an open wound.”
Heavy sound. “It could be bruised.”
fix my best husband, Inner Valerei praised.
“No, let's buy ice cream only.” Serge Valerei, turn a deaf ear to Darren's orders.
Are did not know what to comment, he just looked over the windshield waiting for Darren's orders. While Darren watched his wife who was also looking at him.
“Come get ice cream!” he got a strict order from the superior, his wife meant.
“Are (most see Are) to ice cream shop.” Are nodded and directed the driver to stop in front of the shop.
How lucky this woman is. Are had thought that all women would bend their knees under the gaze of Lee Seok Hoon or they used to call him Darren Lee. But after a few times, he convinced himself that it was the wrong thought. If it wasn't Valerie, maybe her boss wouldn't have shown much expression.
"Es cream." Valerei gives two ice creams to Are and the driver. "Thank you Madam." The words of the two men were answered with a big smile of his boss' wife.
"Oh yeah, Mr. Shin today isn't your son's graduation day?" Valerei asked the driver Darren. The driver smiled, thinking about his son made his mood better. "Yes, madam."
"Sir, stop in front of ya" said Valerei.
Mr. Shin looked at the windshield to seek Darren's approval but Valerei blocked it. "Darren has agreed, sir."
Mr. Shin finally stopped the car. "Yes here. Because it's noon today so Mr. Shin can take a day off until tomorrow. Mr. shin's house up ahead, right?" valerei said again.
"Yes madam, I live in that alley." (pointing an alley in front)
Valerei took something from the back of his chair. "It." Valerei gave 3 big boxes of gifts. Mr. Shin turned to look at his boss's wife, she was silent at her position looking at Valerei.
"Sir? Wait what else?"
Valerie was impatient, she gave the gift box to Mr. Shin. Mr. Shin fell silent, after Darren cleared his throat he immediately took the box out of Valerie's hand.
