THE WASTED WIFE
KNOWING ELA-MAX ENGAGEMENT

The next day...

"Good day, miss. Do you want to eat now? I've cooked the lady's and master's favorite menu".

"Now I'm going to my husband's office, aunt Marine. Can you just bring us our lunch?", replied Olivia.

"Of course you can, miss. I will prepare it now", replied Marine smiling warmly. Then the middle-aged woman returned to the pantry.

While Olivia saw the dishes that had been served by the cook on the dining table.

Olivia's attention is distracted when she sees Elara coming out of the room with Max carrying Ela's suitcase. Both of their faces looked very happy.

"Ela, when did you get back from Malibu? What happened to that suitcase? Do you want to go back to New York now?", asked Olivia staring at Ela and Max alternately. Olivia lets Ela and Max sit with her in the living room.

"We came back last night, Oliv. Hm, but now I want to say goodbye to you, from today I will live in my own apartment. Not far from here. Brother Oli knows the place" replied Elara smiling. While Maxxie clasped Ela's hand and carried her into her lap. Both look so friendly.

Olivia smiled at Elara and Maxxie.

"Well, you two are very compatible. There are a lot of things going on in Malibu". Olivia teases Elara and Max. Because just this time Oliv saw a happy smile continue to be on Maxxie's face. All Oliv knows is that Max always looks serious.

Elara and Maxxie exchanged looks. Then smile.

"Ta...We are officially engaged" exclaimed Elara as she showed a diamond ring around her ring finger to Olivia who was completely shocked to hear the news of the engagement between Ela and Max.

"Oh my God, is that true? Maxxie's sister?". Olivia alternately stared at Ela as well as Maxxie.

"Yes, Ela and I are engaged. You just pray that we catch up with you and Oliver. I really love your sister-in-law, Olivia" Max said in response to Olivia's curiosity.

"Huh.the two of you are engaged to not tell me and my husband. Very tense", exclaimed Olivia to open her lips for a moment. Then a smile again adorned his face.

"I'm sorry. Everything's impromptu, Oliv. Honestly, I wanted to surprise you and my brother. After this, Max and I will meet Oli in his office. Of course I don't want her to be mad at me for hiding our engagement from her" Elara said, looking at her engagement ring with Maxxie coiled around her finger.

"What a coincidence, I'm going to Oliver's office, too. He called me and asked me to come there, I don't know why Oli asked me to come".

"Then we go together to your husband's office. But before I and Ela wanted to see Asley first. Is my nephew resting?"

"Asley was in her room, meet her before she took a nap while I went to the pantry" replied Olivia rising from her seat.

"Good afternoon Miss Olivia, Miss Elara, Mr. Maxxie", Javier Oliver's assistant greeted the three in the lobby.

"Javi, is my husband in his room?"

"Yes there is a lady, but at the moment the master is receiving guests" Javier replied.

"Madly go straight up. I'm sorry I couldn't deliver the lady because there was urgent work outside" Javier said respectfully.

"good. We waited above alone", Olivia replied before her husband's assistant passed.

Moments later Olivia, Elara and Max arrive at the floor where Oliver's workspace is located. As usual, the floor looked quieter.

There was no sound of people talking to each other or footsteps like in the lobby.

"Honey you and Oliv go straight to Oliver's room, I have to pick up Bill's phone" Maxxie said as her phone rang. Without waiting for Ela's reply, the man immediately turned away.

"We'd better meet Liana". Olivia saw her husband's secretary at work.

Realizing the arrival of Olivia and Elara, Liana quickly stops her work. "Good afternoon Miss Olivia, Miss Elara. Mr. Oliver has been waiting for the arrival of the lady, you should just go straight into his room" Liana said politely.

"Yes. Let me and Ela just wait here, until the guest gets home" Olivia smiled.

"But the master asks if you come directly in the room, miss. Let me send her inside", replied Liana standing and stepping her feet ahead of Olivia and Elara.

Geck..

Geck..

"Lake in!" There was Oliver's voice from within.

Liana opened the door handle. "Miss Olivia has come, sir".

Oliver who was chatting with someone on the sofa immediately turned his attention when he heard Liana and saw Olivia behind his secretary.

"Honey come on in, you should get acquainted with my good friend here. Ellando Alexander's". Oliver gestured with his hand for Olivia to come in.

The handsome man in front of Oliver immediately turned his gaze towards the door. Smiling at Olivia.

Liana opened the door wide, for Olivia and Elara to enter. Olivia smiled kindly. But not with Elara her body was still stuck behind Olivia. Liana immediately withdrew. Both of Ela's eyes growled in disbelief as to who was with Oliver.

Likewise, the man named Elland, could not cover his surprise to see who came with his friend's wife. "Ellya?", said Elland muttering.

"You're with Ela too?" asked Oliver.

"They came with me, Oli". Maxxie who had just finished receiving her assistant's phone immediately wrapped her hands around Ela's waist. How shocked he was to see his friend Elland in Oliver's room. "Eland?"

For a moment Elara closed her eyes. With a trembling body. The girl tried to calm herself.

"It turns out you two know each other already?", asked Oliver looking at Maxxie and Elland alternately after everyone was sitting on the sofa.

Maxxie and Elland almost simultaneously nodded their heads.

"We were friends in college. Before Elland went on to study in Amsterdam" Maxxie explained. "How do you know each other?"

"We were friends from childhood. Our parents are good friends, so we are like brothers" Oliver replied as he sipped his drink.

While Elland was more silent, her two blue netra couldn't cover up her feelings. The man did not blink to see Maxxie so friendly to Elara who was also more silent and bowed to look at the ring on her ring finger.

"How are you, Ela?". For the first time Elland opened her mouth which was more silent.

Slowly Ela lifted her face back to Elland's gaze. "I'm good–"

"Oh yeah baby, Ela and Max gave us a surprise. They're engaged. Look at the beautiful ring on Ela's ring finger" Olivia said, pointing at Elara's fingers.

Oliver and Elland change their sitting positions and look at Ela's ring finger.

"really?"

Ela could no longer hold back her feelings. "Sorry, I have to go out for a minute. I left my phone in the car". Without waiting for the answers of the people there, Ela immediately walked out of the room.

Arriving outside, Elara inhaled a deep breath of air. From that moment his chest was tight. Now it feels more relieved. She walked quietly to the elevator. It just so happens that his phone is left in Max's car. "Climate yourself Ela", her inner self.

"You're coming with me Ellya!"
