A Wife's Escape

Fear of the Truth

The anticipated board meeting finally took place according to the implementation schedule, which is today. Keyran who was still pretending to be sick earlier was just pacing around in his room. He was worried about the meeting he entrusted to his wife.

"Nisa didn't really slap the board of directors, did she? Or even the board of directors who slapped Nisa? Shit, I should have led the meeting, so I wouldn't worry like this" he murmured.

"Ah, maybe I should just call Valen to ask about the meeting! But ... still at this hour, the meeting must still be going on. I'm afraid I'm interrupting."

For a moment Keyran was silent, a moment later he immediately took his phone which was on the nightstand.

"Foolish, the important thing is I know what's going on!"

Keyran immediately tried to contact Valen, but this time was different than usual. Valen who usually always picks up the phone in one call, now Keyran needs several times for him to pick it up.

"I'm sorry, sir, for picking up the phone right now, I'm so busy." Valen's voice sounded a little stingy.

"Yes, it's okay. I understand that you're still with Nisa at the board meeting. I'm calling you out of curiosity, is the meeting still going well?" ask Keyran curious.

"Ah, about that actually .. the board meeting has been over."

Keyran gasp. "It's over?! How can it be so fast?! The board meeting this time discussed many of the issues that were going on at the moment. This meeting should have been going on for a long time. Did Nisa lead the meeting and decide arbitrarily?"

"Ehmm .. I am confused where to explain," said Valen who sounded hesitant.

"Just explain the point briefly!" pinta Keyran's.

"alright. The bottom line is that this board meeting was also successful because Nisa's mistress was able to solve the problem in her own way."

"Himself way? Meanin?"

"I mean the madam threatened some of the board of directors who denied it. Then he also did everything without involving me, the mistress solved this problem with the help of her friends. But this method is effective."

"Anyone is Nisa's friend? How can outsiders help solve internal company problems?"

"Ehmm .. This one let me explain in detail. Serious problems that the company experienced were in three departments, marketing, finance, and planning. For the marketing department, you know for yourself that this has to do with the main star of our ad, Miss Anastasia Amanda."

^^^*Note: Anastasia Amanda is an artist who likes Keyran but claps one hand [appears in the early chapters. Author understand if the readers forget, it has been a long time sih😅]^^^

"Yes, then?" ask Keyran.

"Miss Amanda has a long-standing contract with our company. But the problem was that when he had to shoot an ad recorder for the latest product launches, he always procrastinated for various reasons. It hurts, a vacation to Paris. But fortunately, Madam Nisa got a successor that is no less influential in the entertainment world."

"Oh, so Nisa has artist friends. Who's she?" ask Keyran.

"David Damian, he was dubbed as the actor of a million people! I also did not expect the lady to be friends with him. The marketing department's problems are solved by getting David as Amanda's replacement. But when she finishes the contract signature, Miss Amanda suddenly appears in the meeting room. She protests with the decision taken by Miss Nisa. He said he would only accept if you made that decision yourself. Then things get heated up even more because of the madam's personal grudge!" obviously Valen.

"Personal revenge?"

"Yes, the madam slapped him in front of everyone! Then he also said something like this .... Don't bother my husband anymore! I know your plan to make trouble like this! You must want my husband to beg you so you can take him away from me! This company doesn't need an unprofessional like you! You perjakor, old virgin!"

"Hahaha, Nisa actually said that? So what happened after that?" asked Keyran who was getting enthusiastic.

"Miss Amanda still does not accept the mistress' treatment. Then before he left the meeting room, he said tomorrow he would come again with his manager. Ah, and one more thing .. Miss Amanda's actions included violating the terms of the contract, so the lady also asked for payment sanctions for the violation. Madam did well for not letting the company lose."

"What about the finance department? When I checked the financial statements of the accountants, only this time the company's profit decreased dramatically from the previous months. Has Nisa solved this problem?"

Valen sounded out a sigh. "The matter was already settled by the mistress, but .. I did not expect that in the company there was a rat. Worse yet he is one of the members of the board of directors."

Keyran. "Who? Is he Edwin's council? I've long been suspicious of him."

"No, but the Aditya council. This problem starts with the misappropriation of tax funds. There was a huge difference when compared to the actual circumstances, and the mistress discovered what caused it. According to the tax rules, charitable and social activities are not taxed. But this is exactly the opposite, the mistress caught wet who the accountant who made the fake financial statements was. Then the accountant claimed to be working on the orders of the Aditya board."

"Most surprisingly, the madam also provided other evidence. He knew how the money was being diverted and used. Madam bluntly mentioned that the Aditya council intends to plunge into the world of politics capitalized on the money. He was very confident because considering that soon the general election of members of the parliament will be held."

"Heh, it turns out he is not satisfied to be the board of directors of the most influential company. Then he intends to be a member of parliament, laughable." Keyran smiled cynically.

"Yes, that's it. But there is still more evidence! The madam learns that Aditya's board has another asset, a luxury apartment that is allegedly also purchased using company money. But the madam did not intend to report it to the Corruption Eradication Bureau, but instead threatened to report it to his wife."

"Huh?! Why his wife?" asked Keyran to be confused.

"Because the mistress found out that the apartment was in the name and occupied by the mistress of the Aditya council. The madam threatened to report to her legal wife, the mistress also explained that she could get to know her because the legal wife of the Aditya council entered into the socialite group of the great mistress."

"Gosh, it turns out that there's also a good thing that she's been familiar with my stepmother." Keyran bobbing head.

"Pffttt .. what is emancipation? He'd just want to slap people for fun, that's all!" Keyran chuckles.

"Come sir, Miss Nisa is amazing. I do not think he has many connections, whether in the world of entertainment or politics. Absolutely impossible for women in general."

"What you're talking about is my wife. Obviously she must be amazing, that's why I married a female figure like her!"

"Huh? But, didn't you marry him because he was betrothed?"

"Ehmm .. The point is the same if she's my wife! Now explain about the planning department! I remember clearly that the company was attacked by its cyber security, some important data as well as customer information was stolen. Has the problem been solved as well?"

"Yes, the matter was resolved before the board meeting began. The madam also brought her friend to solve the problem, her friend was a hacker. He quickly fixed the cyber security system and also recovered the data that had been erased and stolen."

"He's a man or a woman?" ask Keyran curious.

"He's a man, but I don't know his identity. She also always wears a mask, when I ask her to eat, she also asks to be left alone. He doesn't want anyone to see his face."

"Oh, that's a natural thing. The identity of a hacker is indeed very valuable, he could work for illegal or legal purposes such as helping the police. Oh yes, if the meeting was over, why hasn't Nisa come home yet? I wanted to surprise her when I was healed!"

"You are just there ... The lady said that she and her two friends went somewhere to take care of some things, she said it might take a long time. And most importantly, the madam requested that a re-board meeting be held tomorrow. Because the madam handed over all final decisions to you, as the real CEO. Then ... I'm sorry too!"

"I'm sorry why?" asked Keyran in a lazy tone.

"I had already prepared my CV to apply for a job at another company. I was very pessimistic and thought that the mistress would bankrupt the company. Turns out the madam did everything well, I'm guilty ...."

"Haiss .. Never mind, the problem is also over. From tomorrow I'll be back in the office."

"Wait a minute, sir! Don't shut it down!" valen sounded panicked.

"Hm? What do you want to talk about again?"

"I wouldn't have calmed down if I hadn't told you this. While watching the lady friend who was the hacker earlier, I noticed something hard to believe."

"Quick tell!" keyran nodded impatiently.

"Ehmm .. Each hacker has a special pattern that they always use every access or hack something. I saw with my own eyes, the pattern he used exactly the same as the pattern of the hacker who last attacked the company."

"You mean?" asked Keyran with a frown.

"Last time, just before the mistress had a miscarriage!"

The deg!

For a moment Keyran's heartbeat seemed to stop. He was very surprised, now he was stunned and silent a thousand languages.

"Hello, Master! It's still connected, right?" ask Valen.

"Y-yeah still, is there anything you want to say again?"

"Anu .. do I need to conduct an investigation? I mean about how the lady's relationship with her friends."

"Don't do anything! You just focus on the other department!"

TUT ...

The long conversation ended. However, Keyran who was feeling anxious now even trapped confusion and dilemma. He sat on the edge of the bed with a lethargic body, his gaze looking at a picture of his wedding hanging on the wall.

"Be assured, what I'm doing is right" Keyran murmured.

The hacker who attacks the company and who saves the company is the same person. But that person is your friend or even your subordinate, Nisa. It means everything he does on your orders.

That time the company was attacked right before you miscarried. And the doctor said the reason you miscarried could have been because you were exhausted. That night .. I'm not sure but I can make a conclusion that you are the one who set everything up. You're trying to attack the company to keep me busy. So I don't go home and I don't know what you did that night.

My guess is getting stronger because the attack did not harm the company at all, maybe you really intend not to want your own husband's company to lose. Then you can be calm and free to do your act, which I didn't even know about that night. But who would have thought after that you miscarried.

"Hahh .. It's worth it that you always blame yourself for the miscarriage. Now I understand."

I don't want to investigate because I don't want to know your secret. But because I'm not ready to know. I'm afraid of the truth about you if I investigate you further.

The more I know you, the more secrets I know. I don't want to repeat the same mistake again as when I scribbled information on Violent Zone, our relationship was tenuous because of that. So I want to know everything from your own mouth. Although I had to wait a long time, but I was willing.
