Fear of Marriage

The angry lover

William called the head of his room personnel as soon as he arrived at the office this morning. He wanted to hold her accountable for the gossip about her that was circulating. Not only the head of personnel, but also the three secretaries.

“I want you to fully investigate who has spread gossip in my office”. He said firmly.

“What companies pay you just to tell the lives of others, whether you sit in front of a computer just to send an email and spread a well-developed story whether it's through your fingers or your mouth”, his voice is out of control. The four women in the room were terrified, especially the secretary who had been threatened by him.

“ANSWER..”

“Ti-no, Tuan” says personnel head. He did not expect William would respond to the rumors circulating about him. He thought William would ignore the news because it was not important to him.

Actually William does not care if it is only about him, but this concerns the woman who has filled his life. Karenina will definitely feel uncomfortable setting foot again in her office after news of her relationship with Karenina spread quickly. And what's more, many people say that Karenina gave her body in return for the project they got.

If only their meeting in Bali happened after the presentation that day, it might be considered in return for the project that Dimension got. But they didn't even know each other when it happened, of course it couldn't be considered a reward. William never thought of it that way.

“I don't want anyone else talking about that in my office, if I still hear about it I'll cancel your position with someone else. And this applies to you too, this is the last warning, he said with a sharp eye.

“Iya, Tuan”. said they replied simultaneously.

“Come out and call the planning section called Rudy to my room”.

“Good, Tuan”. They all held onto his chest after carefully closing the door of William's room so as not to make a sound.

“I always worked well to never get angry Mr. William, now I'm even angry because of the damn gossip”.  Said the chief of personnel fieryly. This was the first time he got angry while working at the company.

“I will find out who the culprit is, I will make a calculation with him”, he said again. “I also want to make a calculation with him, I want to tear his brazen mouth”, said the others in the accompaniment of another nod of the head.

Although they already knew there was another relationship between William and Karenina, but they never spread any stories, let alone one of them had received threats from William. It was clear the culprit was not one of the three women who always sat sweetly in front of the main room.

They are always busy with their respective jobs so they do not have time to gossip with others except their neighbors.

Ryan, of course he still loves his head. And also he did not get together very often with other employees. He has a lot of work that is more important than taking care of other people's lives.

“What have you told my lover?”. The employee named Rudy frowned, not understanding William's intentions, as he remembered he had never met a woman who claimed to be his boss' lover, and William had never been seen walking with a woman except.

“What do you mean, Sir. I have never met your lover” he replied honestly according to his thoughts.

“I am not speaking as a leader to his subordinates, but I am speaking as a man who objected that someone had insulted his lover”. William stood walking around Rudy, his hands firmly clenched with hardened jaws. He wanted to put his fist at the man.

Karenina did not complain to him about the events at the project site that day, William knew from Farel that happened to be there to oversee the course of the project. But William knew that his lover was hurt by what his employees said.

William's gaze increasingly intimidated him making the man increasingly clueless. Then his eyes rounded when he remembered something.

His face immediately changed pias when he realized William's mascudine, he several times saw how grim William when angry and maybe this time he would be the object of William's anger.

‘What I'm going to lose my job. Oh shit, why can't I control my mouth and my eyes. Do I get on my knees and apologize, but where is my pride as a man’

“Maa-pardon me, Tuan” he said stammeredly.

“I told you, I don't speak as Mr. William. I am a man who is angry because there are people who insult my lover” he said again with a huff and again sat on the soft sofa with his legs crossed. He was seen several times breathing with his eyes closed.

How could his employees think of him as an ordinary man if the aura he exuded was very clear that he was an authoritative leader. Although William does not shout like when angry if his employees make mistakes, but it looks more frightening than he screams.

“I'm sorry”, he said in a soft voice and bowed head.

“You already know what your mistake is?”

“Already, Tuan”

“Apologies to him in front of everyone who was there that day”,

“Good, Tuan”

“Come out and don't talk nonsense anymore or I'm not only making you lose your job but all your teeth. Are you megerti”.

“Iya, Tuan”.

“What's more”, Rudy was still standing in his place when William had told him to come out, the man was still bowing his head as he walked until he was right in front of William.

“I won't be fired, Tuan”. He said doubtfully.

“How many times have I told you that I speak as the lover of the woman you despise, is it still unclear to you. I'm not the one who's going to mix personal business with work even though I really want to beat you”.

“Thank you, Tuan”

“Get out before I actually rip your mouth off it”, Rudy lowered his head and walked out of William's room.

William sighed after Rudy came out of his room, he actually wanted to hit the man because he had dared to insult his lover, but he controlled himself as much as possible so as not to do so.

His father always taught him to separate personal and work affairs, and it became one of the keys to his father's success that he wanted to try.

 “If he wasn't my employee, I would've beaten him all out. Brengs*ek”. William continued his work which had been delayed since this morning. Read the neatly arranged reports on his desk.
