Lara almost got hit on the road by the side of the highway and thankfully the CEO immediately saved her.
"Are you not papa?"
Zaki and Irene looked over. They looked at Lara and were surprised to see her fall and her knees blistering.
"Lara....?" Zaki instantly let go of Irene's hand and approached Lara.
"Luckily he didn't get hit by a car, almost," the CEO said, staring at Zaki and Irene.
"Thank you. Aren't you papa?" Zaki looked at his wife's bleeding knee.
"Let's go there. Your knee is injured." said Zaki and grabbed Lara. The CEO stood beside Irene.
"You are a harmonious and happy household icon. You even have millions of followers on social media. But you're very close to Lara's husband. It's weird." said the CEO reprimanding Irene.
"Ohh that...." Irene was confused as to what to answer.
"If any journalist had seen this. You could get caught in a scandal. And that's bad for your career" the CEO reminded him.
"You must have misunderstood..." Irene tried to leave.
And quickly followed Zaki, while the CEO lagged behind him. The CEO only shook his head when he saw Irene's facial expression just now.
....
"Sit. I'll buy plaster at the supermarket." said Zaki and immediately went to a nearby store.
Irene looked at Lara with annoyance. Especially seeing Zaki watching himself. I don't think he's willing. But he can what. In public, Lara is his wife. Even his attitude just now made the CEO suspicious because he saw Lara walking behind himself and Zaki.
Not long Zaki returned and immediately cleaned the wound attentively then glued the plaster.
What Zaki did just now, his attention made Lara's heart feel happy. This moment he sensed that he was his wife. Being looked at by her husband like this, it really felt fun.
"There's still others? Where else is it blistering?" ask Zaki.
Lara nodded slowly.
"none. Thanks..."
"Then, do you want ice cream?" Zaki always gives ice cream to his sister whenever she falls as a child and her legs are chafed.
"Emm, yes. I wanna..."
"Go buy it yourself if you want. Why are you telling your husband to pacing around like that? Your knees are just a little blister don't get spoiled" Irene said as Zaki walked in for ice cream.
The CEO came over and gave a small smile looking at the way Irene spoke to Lara with a kettle and a little rough.
"He's not spoiled. Her husband just looks anxious and worried about her." said the CEO made Irene hot chest.
Irene then looked the other way and threw her face away. Irene bit her lip until it bled in anger at the CEO's words just now.
....
Zaki came with three ice creams. And give it to Lara, Irene and the rest of the one. It should be for him. But because there is a CEO, he gives it to him. He himself is not part.
"Thank you.." said the CEO.
Lara sees that Zaki is missing, so she gives him hers and turns out to be with Irene.
"This is for you." they said simultaneously.
Lara and Irene held out her ice cream together in front of Zaki. Zaki was shocked to the point of being stunned. While the CEO just smiled thinly enjoying the ice cream and watched the romantic scene.
"No. Just y'all. I'm not thirsty..." Zaki is forced to reject the ice cream of these two women. If she accepted Lara's property, then Irene would definitely be annoyed to death. And if she accepts Irene's property, the CEO will be suspicious of her.
I'd better act like a good husband right now. Or if he gets suspicious then Lara and Irene will be in deep trouble. The careers of these two women will be finished at this time also in this scandal.
"We can eat ice cream together. Like in the movie scene you're playing. Suddenly I wanted to do it." Zaki said and licked Lara's used ice cream in front of Irene and the CEO.
His intention was to protect these two women from a possible scandal. Zaki is trying to fool the CEO.
Irene's eyes widened when she saw Zaki doing that ridiculous thing in front of her. Even she squeezed out the ice cream she was eating without him noticing.
Zaki's.....
"I suddenly got dizzy. I'll go home first." said Irene angrily. Staring sharply at Zaki's bead eyes. Because he was acting stupid in front of her.
"I'll take you. I'm also on my way to the hotel. I'm going to meet my friend there" the CEO told Irene.
"All right...." Irene could not resist.
Zaki knew that what he had just done must be what made Irene angry and left. He could only be speechless and stunned as Irene suddenly left from before him.
"You better catch up with him. She must have misunderstood you." said Lara who could immediately read what her husband was thinking.
"No. I did this on purpose so you and Irene wouldn't get into trouble with that CEO. What he saw was very dangerous for both of you're careers" he added.
"You must love her so much. You try to always protect her." said Lara Lirih to Zaki who was sitting next to her.
"Her...."
.....
The CEO got to the hotel and opened the door for Irene.
"Thank you." said Irene and walked quickly to her room.
The CEO just stared and smiled faintly. He thought of something and shook his head.
In the room, Irene was really angry and upset. He packed his things and will be back this time as well.
"Zaki.why did you eat that ex-woman. It's disgusting...."
Irene immediately went out again and booked a taxi without waiting for Zaki to return.
Zaki and Lara also returned shortly afterwards. And when she gets to the front of the room, lara goes straight into her room while Zaki goes to Irene's room. He'll explain everything to her. If all he saw was formality. Irene had left the hotel. Zaki tries to contact her but her phone is turned off. He seems to be angry at this moment.
Zaki then goes into Lara's room and sleeps next to her. Lara was shocked because they rarely slept in the same bed.
"You don't need to get up" prevent Zaki from waking up because according to the agreement, after lara gave birth to a child for her, they will split the bed. At that time they were in touch once and that was also for the sake of the child because Zaki's parents wanted to pet the grandchild in the near future.
And after that, they were not even related.
"But...."
"No papa. I'm not gonna break my promise to you,"
"Eh...." I don't know why I'm willing to be touched even if it's just a formality. Is it because of this sincere love of mine that I will willingly give up my body and my life for her?
Zaki smiles at his wife and suddenly feels sorry for Lara.
"Mara...."
"Hmm, yeah,"
Zaki took a deep breath.
"Have you ever been in love?" suddenly tanyanya.
Deg. He had never been in love before. And once she falls in love, she loves a man who doesn't love her.
"Why ask like that?"
"Because you better not feel it at all. Marrying a contract like this won't hurt us" Zaki said.
"You seem to love Irene a lot" Lara guessed and felt Zaki was pouring out her heart to her.
Zaki does love her very much, but she belongs to someone else, Irene does not love her husband, they are in a match. Sometimes Zaki realizes that what he's doing is wrong. And he kept pulling her into the black valley. When he said if he was comfortable with her, that's when the love that was once a deep grave zaki became a bloom again.
Zaki was silent and did not answer Lara's question.
Lara smiled bitterly and her tears stuck in her throat. Remembering her husband's story made her heart goosebumps.
What Zaki said was right, before him it all felt easy and light. But after I fell in love with her, everything became difficult and heavy, Lara's inner self confirmed Zaki's expression.
