Genius Wife and Superstar Husband

Episode 48: Back in the Office

“Hmm... The ability of the woman was great as it turned out,” thought Ethan when he finished reading the document sent by Carolina. As soon as he reached his parents' house in Indonesia, suddenly an email came in.

FA: “This is the work you asked for. Complaint limit 1 x 24 hours after this email is sent. If you complain after that, the refund money will not be saved!”

After reading the email, Ethan spent the afternoon reading the report first. He has paid almost 5 billion rupiah and if the report is not good, he can get a refund of 15 billion rupiah.

Knock…

Ethan, who was stretching his body because he sat too long and read the report on his laptop, turned to the door that was knocked.

“Sign in,” answer. The door opened and featured the figure of Tuti, his son Wati, their family servant, who stood there and looked timid.

“Oh... You, Tuti, right? What's up?” ask Ethan.

“Oppa remember my name? Omo omo! What a dream I had last night! Kyaa!” suddenly Tuti became hysterical and excited. His oppa, who he usually only saw on his phone screen, was now not far in front of him and again, his oppa remembered his name!

As a fan, Tuti has succeeded!

“Iya,” replied Ethan while smiling at Tuti's behavior, “so what's up?” continued.

Tuti immediately re-awakened as soon as he heard Ethan's voice again, “Ko and Ci have been waiting for oppa below for dinner, would oppa want to go down or would the food be delivered here?”

“Already dinner time yes,” muttered Ethan glanced at the clock on his laptop screen, “I will go down after changing clothes first,” continued Ethan again who has not changed clothes since from South Korea.

“Ah! Yes,” said Tuti but still standing in front of Ethan's room.

When he heard that Ethan was about to change clothes, Tuti's mind went everywhere.

“Does Ethan oppa have abs? Will I soon see oppa's body?”

“Hm.. what's there again?” ethan asked because Tuti was silent in front of his room.

But his mind immediately returned to normal when he heard Ethan's voice, his face immediately reddened with embarrassment for thinking nothing

“Ah! No more,” said Tuti then immediately grabbed the doorknob of Ethan's room and closed the door again.

While Ethan was just staring at Tuti in a daze, he stood up and immediately changed clothes.

“Goodnight, papa, mom, sorry I'm late,” greet Ethan when he sees his parents sitting at the dinner table and waiting for him. His father was sitting in the head of the family's chair, while his mother was sitting in the chair to the right of his father. Ethan then immediately sat down on the chair facing his mother.

“Bu Wati, please serve the food,” said Baek Hyeon.

“Good ko,” said Wati who was not far from it.

“What tomorrow will you go straight back to South Korea again?” baek Hyeon asked as Wati was preparing their meal.

“Ah yes, my drama filming is not finished yet,” replied Ethan.

“Hmph! Why do you seem so busy when you certainly only get the role of a supporting player, right? Mama told you to start your career in the business world!” Jia Li suddenly said with a displeased expression.

“Although the supporting cast, Ethan oppa can often part coke, ci! In every episode, oppa always appears,” Tuti who is bringing food to help her mother connect when she hears Jia Li's words.

“Tuti!” reprimand Wati because she feels Tuti has interfered. Tuti finally shut up.

Seeing that Tuti seemed to know Ethan's career, Baek Hyeon asked, “Oh, you watch Ethan's drama?”

Ethan who listened to that just smiled.

“At last there was someone who wanted to say this to papa and mama! Are they going to support me completely?” think Ethan

“But strange too, usually the actors after getting an award, surely the project after that became the main character,” continued Tuti again.

“Doesn't that mean he isn't worthy to be the lead yet? He might just be lucky to get that award,” Jia Li said coldly making the smile engraved on Ethan's face suddenly disappear.

Baek Hyeon initially wanted to hear how his son's career was and after hearing it, he felt proud. Doesn't that mean his youngest son has potential in acting?

But apparently, his wife's mind was not so. Before they would return to argue, Baek Hyeon immediately said,

“Ehem, let's eat,” said Baek Hyeon.

Ethan just shut up and started to get his food. He was tired of arguing with his mother. If his mother thinks that his achievements are not how much, then he will work even harder and prove it.

He swore he would make his mother acknowledge him as an actor!

“It looks like there are no fans waiting,” thought Ethan when he arrived at the office but still not out of the car and just stayed in the parking lot. He glanced left and right to see if any fans were waiting for him, after being convinced that there were no signs of fans in his office environment, Ethan got out of his car.

“Wah sir Ethan! Good morning, sir!” the security guard Ethan met last week greeted him, but different from last week, now his name is known by the security guard.

“Yes, good morning too, it looks like the atmosphere in the office has returned to how it was, yes!” said Ethan, trying to get stale.

“Since Friday it has returned to how it was, sir, but before that, a lot of people came, especially on Tuesday since the news of Mr. Ethan went viral. You just know that the redhead who came last week turned out to be a new ceo and Korean artist,” said the security guard.

“Oh so. Father's work is good. Despite not knowing my identity, he greeted me kindly. Keep it up, yeah! Spirit!” ethan raised his clenched hand.

“Spirit sir!” reply to the security guard.

Ethan then steps up to get into the office, but just a few steps, Ethan again hears the security guard's voice.

“Good morning, neng Carol,”

“Good morning, sir,” reply Carolina who just came. He was just about to enter the office but his steps came to a halt when he saw a red-haired man who was not far from him and was looking at him.

“Si red apple has entered the office again it turns out, hadeh... still early morning have met him, make damaged weather again good aja,” think Carolina who saw Ethan.

“Why Carol, why stop..Well, Ethan has not entered yet. Don't you neng Carol fans, Ethan sir? Sampe was silent so squirm Mr. Ethan in front of him,” said the security guard came to a conclusion. Usually Carolina when finished greeting her will immediately go up to the elevator after greeting the receptionist and only this time the security guard saw Carolina who was silent in her place.

“Ah, not kok sir,” said Carolina who again realized that the security guard was still paying attention to it.

“That's okay, I understand. Women your age should like Korean-Korean, right? Oh yes, Mr. Ethan, this is Carol, the intern here, I think he ngefans the same sir Ethan sampe bengong so fitting sir Ethan,” the security guard introduced Carolina to Ethan. Afraid Ethan thinks that Carolina is an outsider who has nothing to do with NamTech.

Carolina glanced at the security guard and tried to refute him, but because Carolina still said it politely and gently, the security guard thought that Carolina was just being shy about getting close to Ethan. Seeing that, the security guard walked over to Ethan.

“Udah neng Carol, it's okay if you want to look closely, it's okay, Mr Ethan?” ask the security guard, trying to help Carolina look closely at her idol and ask Ethan if the man doesn't mind. He approaches Ethan thinking Carolina is ashamed to approach Ethan alone.

Ethan looked at Carolina amusedly, clearly visible in his eyes that Carolina was trying hard not to curse the security guard who had been willing to conclude.

“Ah so you're my fan. Come here, you want to ask for a signature or photo with oppa?” ask Ethan in an amused tone.

Carolina looked at Ethan with a cold gaze as if to say, “Oppa palalu!”
