BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS

I Know You're Lying

Kayra looks nervous in front of Wira who asks her activities last night. He suspected that Wira knew about his departure with Erlangga last night and he was confused as to what to answer.

" You must be wondering from where do I know what you're doing?" Wira smiled, she understood that Kayra was in shock and confused because she knew that last night the boss and his boss' secretary left together.

Kayra did not reply, she simply swallowed her saliva. His tongue felt like it was a bit of a joke to move.

" Henry's wife is my cousin's sister, and I get information from her if you and Mr. Erlangga came to her house last night." Wira finally explained where she found out about Erlangga and Kayra who left last night together.

Kayra took a breath that felt tight for her to inhale. It turned out that Erlangga's assistant really found out that last night he left with Erlangga. Immediately Kayra's mind felt chaotic. Is this going to be a rumor at work? It was what kept raging in his mind.

" Kayra, I don't want to interfere in your personal matters. I'm just reminding you guys that you're the boss and secretary. Your position is very prone to affairs. And you know for yourself that Mr. Erlangga already has a wife. Do not let your relationship with Mr. Erlangga will destroy your career and reputation that has run smoothly without defects and is very good." Wira gave her advice to Kayra. He did not want the woman who during his work in Mahadika Gautama he knew worked well enough and the discipline would slip just because of a scandal with his boss.

" No, Sir. I'm not as bad as you think!" This time Kayra firmly denied what the Hero thought of her.

" I believe you, Kayra. But it could have changed over time if you were too often close to Mr. Erlangga outside office hours." Not to accuse, Wira just reminded not to step wrong.

" Pak Erlangga's household with his wife is not doing well, Kayra. I don't want you to just be a runaway or an impingement of Mr. Erlangga because he feels disappointed with the current condition of his household." As an executive assistant who worked long enough with the company Mahadika Gautama, even before Erlangga served as CEO at the company, certainly Wira very well know what happened with the family Mahadika Gautama including with the household Erlangga and Caroline. Because Erlangga himself often told him about Erlangga's disappointment with his wife who was more concerned with his career than his household.

Kayra was stunned for a moment. He did not know at all if the condition of his boss' household was indeed in trouble. Indeed, he should have realized, Erlangga already has a wife but why last night the boss did not take his wife alone? Why did Erlangga ask him to accompany Erlangga even to visit Erlangga's friend's house? And it turns out that the wife of Erlangga's friend was the brother of Wira, an assistant from Erlangga, who finally made the closeness of him and his boss revealed in the work environment. Will this be the beginning of his career? Nah! Kayra tried to pull over because she felt, she did not have an affair with her boss. But one thing that disturbs his heart, is it true that Erlangga only uses himself as an escape and an outlet for his boss's frustration and disappointment with his wife?

" I'm not talking like this because I hate or corner you, Kayra. As I said earlier, you are quite an exemplary employee here. I don't want what you achieve while working here to be destroyed just because of your personal closeness with Mr. Erlangga. You must understand what I mean, right?" Wira stressed that Kayra should not go too far to build personal closeness with Erlangga.

," Fine, sir. I understand." With a very claustrophobic feeling, Kayra tried to respond to the words of Wira.

" Yes, I live first, rather than your boss coming and chiding me for talking to you." The sound of unrighteousness ended the speech of the Hero and the man immediately walked towards the elevator back and left Kayra whose heart and mind instantly became muddled.

About fifteen minutes from Wira's departure, Erlangga arrived at his office. But because Kayra was thinking with the words spoken by Wira earlier, Kayra was pensive to not realize the arrival of her boss.

Erlangga looked at Kayra who did not greet her with a good morning greeting. He saw that the woman was only silent towards the laptop but with a blank look with eyes that looked dewy.

Erlangga who was amazed by Kayra's unusual attitude then walked closer to her secretary. But Kayra was still unaware of Erlangga's existence before her.

" I hired you here not to daydream!"

" B-father?" Kayra immediately stood up, "Good morning, sir." Kayra greeted Erlangga but lowered her face.

" Why are you daydreaming like that?" search Erlangga curious.

" No, Sir. Sorry, I was too focused on the laptop to not realize the presence of the Father." Kayra tried to dismiss the assumption of Erlangga who said if she was daydreaming.

Erlangga looked at Kayra who did not dare to look at her. He could sense that his secretary was lying to him.

" Yes, keep up your work!" It was unexpected that Kayra Erlangga did not investigate too far what she did earlier, thus making the woman breathe a sigh of relief, especially after Erlangga happened from before her.

" You think I just believe? I'm sure you're lying, Kayra." And without realizing Kayra it turns out Erlangga did know the lie that Kayra did. Until the moment the man reached his room, he immediately saw a monitor screen that monitored the activity in his room and also in front of his room. It was certain from there that he could find out what Kayra was doing from the cctv monitor that was installed outside his room.

Erlangga noticed from the beginning of Kayra's arrival. There was nothing strange about his secretary's activities at the beginning of his arrival. Kayra is seen putting her briefcase and lunch bag down, opening the compact powder and tidying up her makeup, then starting her usual work activities. There was nothing strange at the beginning of Kayra's arrival. Erlangga sped up the cctv recording until she saw the arrival of the Hero in the room and handed the file to Kayra and then had a long conversation with Kayra. Erlangga could not hear what Wira was talking about with Kayra back then. But he could see the look on Kayra's face that looked frightened and sad even to the point of lowering her head

" What did Wira say that frightened Kayra like that?" Erlangga was curious. He felt that what Wira said must have affected Kayra's mind so much that her secretary was daydreaming and unaware of her presence earlier.

Erlangga continued to pay attention to the cctv until the Wira finally left Kayra. And Kayra ended up sitting down by covering her face with both palms for quite a while.

" Si al, what does Wira say until Kayra looks sad like that?" Instantly Erlangga's emotions were ignited when she found out that it was Wira that caused Kayra to daydream like that.
