BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS

The Figure of the Wife and Dream Son-in-law

" Dear, we'll go to Papa's house first to pick up Mama." After finishing breakfast with Ms. Sari, Erlangga and Kayra returned to the room to get ready to leave for her office.

" Mama so stay here, Mas?" Kayra responded enthusiastically to the words of her husband who said he would pick up Helen, so she guessed that her mother-in-law would live in the house she currently occupies.

" No, Kayra. It's not Mama who's gonna be here, but Mama wants to come with us to the office." In order for Kayra not to be misunderstood, Erlangga explained the meaning of his words earlier.

" When you come to the office?" The beautiful woman's forehead, who is now the wife of CEO Mahadika Gautama, shows a scratch.

" Mom feels safer if you're close to me. You don't want to be alone at home or in your office. Therefore Mama wants to come with us to the office," said Erlangga again added.

" O God, how sorry Mama is, Mom. It can't be allowed to linger, Mas. Mama is haunted by the fear of things that are not necessarily the truth. It's not good for Mama's psychic condition, Mas." Knowing that her mother-in-law was experiencing excessive fear, Kayra was very worried about the situation of her mother-in-law.

" Yes, I know. I don't want to let this happen either, honey. I have to convince Mama that Mama's fear is too much." Erlangga mende. He had to act decisively to Agnes so that her mother would not experience prolonged fear.

" Try talking to Mom and Dad. Who knows Papa and Mama wouldn't mind staying with us here. I'm sure if we get together, Mama won't feel lonely and scared. Mas will also definitely feel calm if close to the parents, right?"

Erlangga smiled watching the wife speak. He greatly admired Kayra's figure, who was of noble heart. Despite being treated unfairly by Helen, not a single bit of grudge was seen in the heart of his beautiful wife.

" Mama's so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you, Kayra. Baby Mama can't realize that." Without hesitation, Erlangga praised the wife.

" Mum is over-valuing me. But, I hope Mama will be able to accept my existence, Mas." Kayra said expectantly.

" That's for sure, honey. Just waiting for time. Sooner or later, you will be the only daughter-in-law of the family of Mahadika Gautama." Erlangga grabbed Kayra's body and gave a kiss on Kayra's head. An activity that Erlangga always does every day to his wife.

Grace notices a black car from her rearview mirror. Ever since he left his apartment earlier, the car was like following where the car he was carrying went.

" Si al, it seems like someone wants to play around with me!" umpat Grace was upset that someone was spying on her.

Grace immediately put earphones on her ear because she had to contact someone.

" What's up, Grace?" Rizal's voice was immediately heard when the phone call was connected to Rizal.

" There's been someone following me since I got out of the apartment, Old Man." Grace immediately relayed the information to Rizal.

" Do you have enemies until someone follows you?" rizal asked in response to Grace's report.

" If I had an enemy, it would have been you, Old Man. Because you were the one who foiled my plan!" grumbled Grace with a tinge.

" Am I not the one who saved you from your lover?!" The sound of weirdness ended the sentence Rizal said, making Grace grunt violently.

" Don't go to headquarters in the meantime if that guy's still following you." Rizal forbids Grace from coming to his office, fearing that the man knows who Grace really is.

" Yes, I get it!" grace Sahut.

" It's very likely that the guy was Rivaldi's man, because last night Bondan called me if his men who were watching Jimmy reported, around seven in the evening Jimmy met Rivaldi. Looks like Rivaldi met Jimmy after he came home to see you." Rizal explains to Grace the possibility that the person who follows Grace is the one ruled by Rivaldi.

" Is Rivaldi beginning to suspect?" ask Grace.

" It's not suspicious because of your disguise, but because of a bruise on your face. Looks like he's already starting to get hooked on your charm, Grace." Looks like Rizal is happy if he has insinuated Grace.

" I'm just asking you not to get carried away on this mission. Rivaldi was very handsome and he liked many women, except for Madam Erlangga alone who was not captivated by him." Rizal advises Grace not to get caught up with Rivaldi's charms, especially when it seems Rivaldi is starting to notice Grace.

" Hey, you think I like it!? He's not my type!" argue Grace.

" I know, your taste is a rancid prick like that Joe, right?" sindir Rizal is back.

" Ck, is there nothing else you can say but insinuate me, old widower doesn't sell!?" Upset that continued to be mentioned about her past, Grace back insinuated Rizal about the status of the man who was almost close to forty years old.

Instead of being angry, Rizal laughed at Grace's insinuation. " Where are you going? Do I need to send a bodyguard for you? But I'm sure Rivaldi sent that man to protect you." Knowing that Rivaldi is worried about Grace, Rizal believes that the person who was told to spy on Grace is working to protect Grace. Moreover, Rivaldi guessed if Grace's face bruised due to someone's actions.

" No need! I can handle it myself" Grace refused and turned off her phone connection with Rizal unilaterally.

Grace glanced back at the rearview mirror. The car he suspected was still following the direction of the car he was driving. Grace who initially wanted to go to where Rizal shifted his direction to a famous salon in Jakarta.

" Mr Gita, the schedule of my husband's meeting with Mr. Teguh is rearranged again. Mr Teguh told me he could not come to Jakarta this weekend. It is likely that the next two weeks can only visit Jakarta." Kayra told Gita about the meeting schedule of one of Mahadika Gautama's business relations that was canceled this week.

" Next two weeks, Mom?" tanya Gita immediately opened Erlangga's work schedule on her laptop.

" Yes, just try to find what date is empty?" Kayra had to find an empty day in the next two weeks to rearrange the meeting schedule with Mr. Teguh.

" It's just an empty Wednesday, ma'am."

" Only Wednesday? Yes, it will be confirmed again time to Mr. Teguh. I hope he doesn't mind" Kayra said.

" Good, Mom." said Gita. " Hmmm, Mum. How come, the tumben Mama Pak boss came to the office? Mama's mom is the boss better?" Gita who was curious about Helen's presence in Mahadika's office immediately asked Kayra.

" Oh that, Ma'am. Ma'am Gita remembers the same woman who used to be with Helen's mother coming here?" Kayra asks if Gita still remembers Agnes.

" Yes, I remember, Ma'am. Why the same woman, Mother?" ask Gita curiously.

" Geez, can you, Mom? But thank goodness if the woman can be caught immediately bad attitude. So Mama Mr. Boss doesn't keep blaming Bu Kayra." Gita also feels happy if Helen does not continue to antagonize Kayra. Because she knew Kayra was a good woman, and it wasn't fitting that Helen was hostile towards Kayra.

" Yes, Ma'am. Thank God Agnes's nature was quickly revealed, before my mother-in-law continued to be affected by it." Kayra was grateful.

" In every problem, there must be wisdom behind it, ma'am. Mother's kindness and sincerity during this time seems to be fruitful sweet in a moment, Mom." said Gita encouraged Kayra while holding Kayra's hand.

" Aamiin, thank you, Ms. Gita." Kayra smiled happily. What Gita said earlier, it was also her hope.

While inside Erlangga's workroom, Helen continued to watch Kayra from the window. He saw Kayra talking and pointed several times at the laptop in front of his daughter-in-law. Helen sees Gita taking a pretty serious look at what Kayra is saying.

" Lang, why is your wife still working there? She's the CEO's wife, what's the job for? What would another employee say if he knew he was still working? People will assume you don't treat your wife well! Just shameful!" Helen immediately protested against Erlangga for seeing Kayra still remain at her desk as usual as Erlangga's secretary.

" That's the special thing about Mama's daughter-in-law. She is not the type of woman who just keeps quiet and always holds hands. She doesn't want to take advantage of her status as the boss' wife for fun, Ma. Because Kayra is a working woman." Erlangga deliberately proud his wife in front of his mother so that her mother was more open to look at Kayra.

" Worker type, and eventually will be like Caroline, because it feels able to have its own income? Prefer her career over taking care of her husband?" sindir Helen reminded of the attitude of her former daughter-in-law who prioritized work rather than her obligations as a wife.

" Kayra is not Caroline, Ma. He just feels like he should be at home. If our son had been born, he would have stopped working and focused more on taking care of me and our children later." Erlangga got up from his chair and walked over to his mother.

" Ma, trust me. Kayra is a special woman. She is not a woman with ambitions for her career. She is the kind of woman I really want to be my life partner. I gave birth to my children, and accompanied me until my old age. Open your little heart to Kayra. I'm sure Mama won't be disappointed in Kayra." Erlangga touched both of his mother's shoulders. He tried to convince his mother that Kayra was his ideal wife and daughter-in-law.

Tok tok tok tok

" Gold, we pray first, yuk! After that lunch. What do you want to eat? I'll order the food menu first. So after the prayer we can eat right away, or do you want to eat out?" The sound of knocking on the door accompanied by the appearance of Kayra made Erlangga and Helen look towards the door of Erlangga room.

Erlangga then turned to look at his mother, who was also directly looking at him. Then Erlangga raised both eyebrows and then rolled her eyes while giving a smile, as if indicating what she just said was not a mere joke. Kayra is indeed a dream wife figure for him and a dream daughter-in-law for both Erlangga parents.

***

An hour after Grace was in the salon, after she had finished the treatment she had accidentally scheduled, she intended to leave the salon she was visiting.

Grace sees the car that follows her parked on the street in front of the salon she goes to. It was even more confirmed if the person in the car was watching him.

Grace pulled the corner of her lips together to form an arch of a thin smile She immediately pulled out her phone to contact someone.

About five minutes he tried to contact the person, finally his phone call was connected to the person he was going to.

" Hello, Aldi. Are you busy?" As her phone call lifted, Grace immediately greeted Rivaldi with an anxious tone.

" No, what's up, Rena?" Rivaldi the person Grace contacted quickly responded to Grace.

" Aldi, can you help me? I feel like someone's been following me since I got out of the apartment." Grace tells Rivaldi what she is going through right now. Considering Rivaldi was so worried about him last night, he took advantage of it. Moreover, according to Rizal, the person who followed him was Rivaldi's man.

" Anybody following you? Hmmm, do you know who he is?" A voice sounded surprised to hear Grace say there were people following her.

" I don't know. Aldi. I didn't know the car, and I couldn't see who was in the car either" Grace said, as if she was terrified.

" Where are you now?" ask Rivaldi.

" I just got out of the salon."

" Okay, share your position now. I'll see you later. You calm down and don't panic!" Rivaldi tried to make Grace calm and did not feel panic.

" I-yes, I'm sharing now my position." Grace instantly sent her current position to Rivaldi via her mobile phone. After that he ended his phone conversation with Rivaldi.

A thin grin was re-engraved at the corner of Grace's lips as she hung up the phone.

" Just like that dare to challenge Erlangga Mahadika Gautama?" sindir Grace underestimates Rivaldi's dohan kebo.

While in his place. After his phone call with Grace closed, Rivaldi immediately contacted Jimmy. Because he knew the man who was following Grace was Jimmy's man.

" What's up, Boss?" ask Jimmy from across the phone from Rivaldi.

" Is your man watching Rena?" ask Rivaldi to Jimmy.

" right, Boss. Like the boss's request that I keep an eye on Miss Grace Renata" said Jimmy.

" The person you told was watching Rena, it scared her. Can't you hire a smart guy, Jimmy?! It's always your men's work that disappoints me!" rivaldi was upset.
