Forced to Marry a Girl of Mama's Choice

Chapter 17

"Good morning, Mr. Karel." The client reached out his hand to shake Er's hand. Welcomed by the owner of the company.

The tail of Er's eyes glanced at the woman beside her client who was currently smiling at her. Er also welcomed the hand from him.

"Good morning, sir." The woman bowed slightly greeting Karel then they all sat back down.

Er was still staring at the figure of the girl who was very familiar with it with a mind that was staring somewhere.

Karel was amazed when he saw the secretary of Arkan who deftly gave a vision of the mission of the cooperation they would do. The man never knew his wife was that smart.

Now we have to sign for both.

Karel's assistant is happy because currently his boss company can work with Arkan-owned companies that are no less famous.

After Arkan signed the second contract, now only Er must also sign it.

But the man's gaze was empty. Making his assistant slightly nudge his boss to resuscitate him.

"Sir...!" call Dion.

"Ah, yes."

"It is now your turn to sign it, sir."

Like a fool, Er looked unfocused at the moment. The man he was working with looked very attentive to his secretary. Seeing this, Karel felt uncomfortable.

Until Arkan and Ayra were about to shake Er's hand again when they were about to leave the room, Karel's brain was still not focused.

"Master!" Dion exclaimed a little loudly. And succeed. Karel realized, he also welcomed the hands of Arkan and Ayra.

"Hopefully our cooperation can grow rapidly, Mr. Karel," Arkan said.

Karel simply answered him with a nod and a smile. But more precisely with a forced smile. The man became a little annoyed with Ayra being there.

But from the attitude that Ayra showed him, his wife seemed to ignore him and be so indifferent. Moreover, Ayra who always averted her eyes when their gazes met. That really bothered him.

Karel could see from Ayra's gaze when looking at Arkan. It was so soft and with a smile. But it made his heart feel so hot.

Karel did not want that gentle look to be given to anyone. He wanted that smile just for him. Seeing Ayra's significant changes made Karel very, very uncomfortable for him.

The meeting was over and they started to leave the room. But Karel was surprised when he saw Kinara who was already in front of the meeting room door.

"Sorry sir, I told Miss Kinara to wait in your room, but Miss Kinara insisted on waiting for you here" Karel's secretary said.

Kinara unhappily just went along spoiled in Karel's arm. Just contact to make Ayra and Arkan stop their steps and look towards the two lovebirds.

There is a feeling of pain when seeing the husband who looks so friendly with other women. But Ayra tried not to show it. He preferred to be indifferent and turn his gaze in the other direction.

"Is this Miss your wife, sir?" ask Arkan who was amazed to see the friendly relationship between Karel and Kinara.

The tail of Er's eyes glanced towards his wife who looked so indifferent. Then he looked towards Arkan who was now asking him. Er was about to answer Arkan's question, but Kinara answered him first.

"A little while, sir. We plan to get married soon" Kinara said with a smile.

Karel glanced back at Ayra who was not looking at him at all. The discomfort again gnawed at his mind.

"Well, congratulations, Mr. Karel. You're lucky to have a lover as beautiful as this Miss."

"Cinara. My name is Kinara, Mr...."

"Oh, Mr. Arkan. Introduce, I am Kinara lover of Karel A Askara. And who's the girl next to you, sir?" Kinara looked at Ayra who was staring in the other direction. He had not realized if it was Ayra.

"Name Ayra. She is my secretary and close friend, Miss," Arkan replied, making Ayra turn to Arkan, as well as Arkan smilingly looking at her.

Kinara. Kinara's attention was focused only on Karel. He doesn't pay much attention to the others.

Seeing Ayra there, Nara immediately hugged Er's waist very possessively. His gaze drew sharp with a trivial smile on Ayra, but not the slightest bit in limbo by the man's wife who was in his embrace.

Arkan looked at Ayra from where she was driving. Ayra was seen silent after her first meeting. Arkan is worried that the girl next to him is getting tired because this morning Arkan invited him to a meeting.

"Ra, are you okay? I'm sorry I'm making you tired" asked Arkan, feeling guilty.

The question made Ayra turn to Arkan. She slightly smiled at the man who had given her a job.

"I'm fine Brother Ar. Why do you think you're making me tired of this fun job? I really like it. But...,"

"But, what, Ra?"

Honestly Although Ayra decided to give up getting Karel back, still if she saw her husband's intimacy with Kinara became a painful scourge for her. Ayra still loves Karel very much. The man was his first love and to this day his heart is still imprinted on the man.

"I'm hungry" Ayra replied lying. He doesn't want Arkan to worry about him. This man had been very good with giving him a job.

While Arkan smiles with relief at hearing that Ayra is just hungry. The man immediately parked his car in a restaurant to take Ayra to lunch.

"Why stop here, brother?" Ayra frowned when Arkan's car stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Don't you just say you're hungry? It's noon anyway. We have to fill up the ammunition first to continue our work in the office later" Arkan said.

"Alright, Mr. Arkan," Ayra replied obediently.

They got out of the car and entered the restaurant. But when Ayra just stepped a few steps, she felt her head felt a little dizzy. It made his body go limp and almost fall.

Grepp's... From behind Arkan catches Ayra's body that almost fell. The man looked so worried.

"What's the matter, Ra?" Arkan was so panicked at Ayra's current condition.

Ayra immediately got up and tried to get back on her feet. The girl forced her smile. "I'm fine Brother Ar. Maybe it's because my anemias are coming back" Ayra replied lying.

But still it made Arkan so worried. Because Arkan knows about how Ayra's current condition really is.

"We're going to the hospital now. I don't want anything to happen to you, Ra," asked Arkan. But soon rejected by Ayra .

"No Brother Ar. I'm really okay."

"Really?"

Ayra smilingly nodded reassuringly to Arkan.

"Hum...!" The sound of someone deheman behind them made Ayra and Arkan look back.

"Mr Karel? You're here too?" Arkan was shocked to see Karel and Kinara.

"Yes, Mr. Arkan. We were having lunch together at our favorite restaurant" Kinara replied.

'Ck, again they are, ' inward Ayra. The girl stared pushyly at the couple's love interest. Until his gaze met with Er's gaze that was so sharp looking at him. Ayra again decided her view. While Er clenched her hand when Ayra was so indifferent towards him.
