Some employees seem busy cleaning up their files on the desk after office hours run out. So did Natalie and Eliza.
"Nat, let's stop by yuk first to the place to eat. He said there's a really good noodle place to eat. And the branch just launched today" Eliza said so excitedly as she put the file into her drawer. "It's just a far place."
"Mpp .. sorry, Yes! I guess I can't." Natalie rejects Eliza's invitation because she's coming home with her husband, and it's impossible to get Nicholas to stop by. "I'm going home with Nicholas."
"Well, what a pity." Eliza looks a little disappointed, "but yaudah gpp deh, next time we go there."
Not to answer Eliza's words. Natalie is focused on a sexy woman who just entered Nicholas' room. "The woman again" he murmured inwardly. A feeling of jealousy was suddenly present again in his mind. But he immediately brushed it away because he did not want to think badly. "Maybe it's just a job, maybe" he continued.
A few minutes later, all the files were tidied up and it was time for Natalie and Eliza to go home.
Drtc .. drtt ...
Natalie's phone is ringing. A message with the name Nicholas was listed there. Natalie quickly opened the message.
Nicholas: Today you can go home first. I have business with the client. Maybe even go home in the middle of the night. You can have dinner without me. So don't wait for me!
Natalie sighed in disappointment as well as astonishment. Why every time there is a woman who comes, there is a sudden business that makes him have to go home alone.
"What does he have to do with that woman? why is it that every time he comes, there's something he takes care of." Natalie muttered as she stared at the room of her husband. "If only I could get in there."
"Nat, I'm going home first!" eliza said as she grabbed her bag.
"Eh, Liz, wait!" not wanting to think of something that only made her sick, Natalie finally chose to come with Eliza to eat at the new place.
"I'm coming with you."
"Huh?" Eliza looked strangely, "where are you going?"
"Say you're sure I'm eating noodles?"
"Well, do you want to?"
"Hmpp, that,"
"Say you go home with your husband?"
Natalie just smiled. No intention of answering Eliza's question. "Come on! he said far away. Comeing! later kemaleman." Natalie took Eliza's hand out of the office. While Eliza who was initially confused ended up being happy too, because there was a friend to eat today.

"Come baby! it was afternoon. We'll be there late." Jennifer is seen pushing her lips up because Nicholas hasn't yet gotten out of his chair.
Today, Jennifer was invited by one of her friends to attend an event. And he asked Nicholas to accompany him. Surely to show off Nicholas' good looks and wealth in front of his friends later.
"In a minute, Jen!" Nicholas is seen waiting for a message on his cell phone. Like something's up, Jennifer's inner.
"Hish, what are you waiting for?" Jennifer was upset while throwing her face away.
Drt .. drtts ..
Nicholas's phone rang, finally the long-awaited one came as well.
Mr. X \= Miss Natalie is out of the office with her best friend.
After reading it, Nicholas hung up on him, with no intention of replying to the message.
"Come on!" take it to Jennifer. He grabbed a suit and also snatched his car keys. While Jennifer looks happy and tailed behind her.
"But then we stop by the Mall first!" jennifer said, "the reason is I don't have clothes that fit the theme."
Nicholas looked at Jennifer's face. "Why not wear clothes?"
"No. I'm already in the mood."
"Cf, yasudah!"
Nicholas started his car engine. Leaving the office to a large Mall to accompany Jennifer shopping.

"This is the place, Liz?" Natalie and Eliza have just arrived at a restaurant that is starting to get crowded because they will attend the launching event. It looks like because it just opened, the Restaurant offers a lot of discounts that are quite fantastic, so many people flock to enjoy good food at low prices.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, finally a host began to sound out.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to start The Flo's Restaurant today." He said it while looking so enthusiastic. "If I see, the faces of the guests here are already impatient to enjoy the food that is already very popular in other cities." Some people laugh because they feel overwhelmed. "Well, to speed things up let's invite the owner of The Flo Restaurant, Mrs Floara and her husband."
A round of applause accompanied the owner of the restaurant. Beautiful and graceful pink dress looks so adorned her body that still looks very young. Unlike the man who walked next to him, he looked aged compared to his wife.
"Nat, her husband is more suitable to be her Grandpa huh!'' eliza whispers in Natalie's ear.
"Hustt!! don't be so reckless!"
"Heeee," Eliza showed off her neat teeth.
A few sentences accompanied the rave of the Cafe owner. Finally, Mrs. Floara said that the establishment of the restaurant can not be separated from the help of his friends who have contributed a lot until the restaurant was really successful and has many branches in several major cities. Therefore, he asked his best friend's representative to come on stage and introduce himself.
"Well, let's welcome my dear friend, Jennifer."
"Jennifer?" Faintly Natalie saw the woman walking was a person she knew. Not wanting to be curious, Natalie immediately tried to break through to the front to see if it was Jennifer's former secretary to Nicholas' father or just happened to be the same name.
Eliza who saw Natalie advanced, immediately trailed behind her. "Eh, Nat. Wait!"
Prok .. prok .. prok ..
The clapping of hands accompanied the arrival of a very beautiful woman with her evening dress that seemed very sexy. Next to him, there was a handsome man with a large and tall stature, handsome and charismatic, making the eyes of the women instantly dazzled instantly.
"Nicholas," Natalie's great-grandson as soon as he gets right in the front row. His heart and feelings are now in contact with each other. "Why is he here? and why is she so affectionate with Jennifer?" Natalie kept wondering until Jennifer who was on stage realized the presence of Natalie.
"Well, it looks like a golden opportunity for me." Suddenly Jennifer tightened her hand, making Nicholas look at her.
"Well, crazy ... what husband is his girlfriend? ... so handsome, I swear." Some women whispered when they saw the arrival of Jennifer and the man beside her, making Natalie's heart and feelings feel even more rumbling.
Nicholas who was on the stage tried to smile to greet the audience. And just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, suddenly his eyes met the woman who was currently his rightful wife. "Natalie," he murmured in the heart. "Why is he here?"
"Nat," Eliza held Natalie's hand, "patience! maybe Nicholas just happens to be cool."
Natalie still hasn't budged on Eliza's words. He looked up at Jennifer and Nicholas. Wonder what they will do on that stage. What is the relationship between the two until it has to be as intelligent as it is there. He just hopes, hopefully not something that hurts him.
"Well, Miss Jennifer, as a friend who has helped Miss Floara, what do you want to say?" ask the host.
Jennifer also conveyed a word two for the continuity of his best friend's business.
"Oiya, by the way, who is this man you brought? is boyfriend?" ask the host again.
"Ah, no," said Jennifer.
"That's it, Nat. Maybe Jennifer and Nicholas just happened to come together." Eliza tries to calm Natalie's already erratic feelings. But he was sure, the good conditions that Eliza said were not entirely true. Natalie saw there was another gagat behind the answer not from Jennifer's mouth.
Nicholas was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Jennifer did not make the atmosphere hotter between herself and Natalie. But his smile did not last long when ...
"Then, if you can tell, who?" the host asked again.
"Prospective husband."
Teg
Natalie and Nicholas' heart stopped beating. The tears that Natalie had been weeping from now on finally dripped. When with her challenge, Jennifer said that the man who is still legally her husband is Jennifer's future husband.
"Why are you saying this?" niceties of Nicholas to Jennifer. Jennifer did not bother him. He continued to focus on the pickle carrier. He was sure, at this time Natalie must have cried blood when she heard his words just now.
Speech full of admiration successfully ejected from some visitors. "Well, that woman is lucky." That speech clearly made Natalie's heart even more sick.
"Nat," Eliza began to worry when she saw Natalie starting to have difficulty breathing. "Nat, you're gpp, right?" Eliza grew more panicked as Natalie continued to hold onto her chest.
"It's not possible ...." Natalie stared at Nicholas' silent and unmoved face as Jennifer said that in public. But clearly Nicholas also knew Natalie was there. "Why is he quiet, Liz?" his chest tightened, "why didn't he meet me and explain to me what really happened .. why didn't he deny it?. .. why didn't he say that here was his legal wife, me." Natalie kept muttering to Eliza. "What does the woman say is true?.. Will they really get married? and they want me to find out here, this way?"
Eliza was downcast unable to answer her friend's question, because she herself was also very surprised by this incident.
Natalie's tears kept coming. While Nicholas who was still on stage could do nothing but just stare at Natalie from a distance. To be honest he also wanted to get off the stage and explain what happened, but Jennifer who did not want to take off her hand made him unable to leave Jennifer just like that.
"So this, the reason he's never touched me all along."
