The Successor of the President
Episode 23's.

The next morning Hanna woke up very early, her condition had improved even though she was still a little dizzy. Today Hanna had to go back to work because the leave period given by the manager of the restaurant where she worked was up, she hurriedly took a shower and put on her work uniform and applied a little makeup.

Alden who saw Hanna immediately flocked his wife with the question, "Where are you going? Why are you wearing that outfit?"

"I want to work, my leave is up," Hanna replied without looking at Alden, she focused on looking in the mirror while sweeping the powder on her smooth face.

"No, you can't work anymore!"

Hanna turned to face Alden, "Why can't you?

"Don't I tell you, after marriage you'll stop working."

"But I haven't agreed to it!"

"I didn't ask for your approval, I forbid you! Understood?"

Hanna was astonished, how could Alden take a unilateral decision like this.

"You're nothing, anyway? Why make a decision?" hanna's sulking.

"Hey, did you forget that I'm your husband? I am in charge of you, I have the right to decide what you can and cannot do, so obey me!"

"But this marriage is just a charade, we are not real husband and wife either, so don't just want to rule my life" Hanna argued.

"Who said? Although our marriage is only a setting, but we are religiously legitimate and you are lawful to me. So if you dare to fight or refute me, you will be disobedient" he said.

Hanna was again stunned to hear the words of Alden, the man was indeed really dictatorial and selfish, he always forced his will on others.

"At the moment people think you're Raline anyway, if until my business partner sees you working in a restaurant, bad rumors about me circulate again and my good name will be broken again. Not to mention if Mak Lampir and his son knew, they could be suspicious."

"Your life is so complicated, anyway! Nothing to think of netizens and good names, just like celebrities!"

"I'm a business celebrity, so it's only natural that my life is in the spotlight of my colleagues and business rivals. That's why you should take care of your attitude and behavior, don't ruin my good name!"

"Yes, but the thing is I need money to buy my needs and help my mother, so I have to work!"

"I'll give you ten times your salary at the restaurant each month. You can buy whatever you want and help your mother, without having to work" Alden said arrogantly.

Hanna smiled with sparkling eyes, her matre soul instantly churned, "Right you?"

Alden nodded, "Yes, but on one condition."

"What?"

"According to me and don't argue with anything I say."

Hanna fell silent and thought for a moment, Alden's offer wasn't too bad. The important thing is that he can earn money without having to tire of working.

"Alright, but beware that you're asking me to do something no-no!"

"okay!"

"Then I'd like to call my manager first to ask to resign." Hanna rushed to get her phone.

Alden looked at Hanna with a meaningful smile.

Hanna was relaxing in the wooden gazebo, she was enjoying a glass of mango juice in this hot afternoon.

Hanna was actually lonely in that big house, she had no friends if Alden and Adel were not at home like now.

Instead of being bored alone, Hanna decided to contact Maya who must have gone home from selling. Hanna made a video call to meet her mother face to face.

"Hello, ma'am," said Hanna when the call was connected.

"Hello, Son. I miss you so much."

David decides to hide not far from Hanna when he finds out that she is calling someone.

"I'm also very upset with Mom," Hanna replied, "mom how are you?"

"Good, Son. How are you doing yourself?"

"Not too good, Mom."

"You why? Sick again?"

"Yesterday my allergies came back, ma'am," against Hanna, she didn't realize that David was stalking and eavesdropping on her talk.

"You eat nuts?"

"Yes, I didn't know that the food I was eating contained nuts. I passed out and was rushed to the clinic."

David who heard Hanna's words was shocked.

"Since when was Raline allergic to peanuts? How come I don't know?" david wondered.

"Geez, kid. So how are you doing now?"

"It's better, Mom. Just a little dizzy" said Hanna.

"Then you get plenty of rest, dong! Next time be more careful if you want to eat."

Hanna nodded and smiled, "Yes, Mom."

"Oh yeah, Han, sometime invite your husband to stay here, huh? Let me make you your favorite food."

Hanna was silent, she wasn't sure the arrogant Alden would want to stay at his rundown house.

"Hanna! Why daydream?"

David was stunned to hear Maya calling his daughter's name.

"Hanna?" murmured David slowly.

"Y-yes, Mom. I'll ask her to stay at home sometime" replied Hanna nervously.

"Alright, then it's been, yes, son. I want to clean up the cake first. You rest, take care of yourself."

"okay, Mum. Mother too, take care of your health, yeah."

"Yes, son."

Hanna ended the conversation with her mother, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then moved on and left the wooden gazebo, it seemed like he had better rest in the room.

"Hanna!"

Hearing her name being called, Hanna spontaneously turned her head and was shocked to find out who the person who called her was.
