Neighbor's Room

Other Work

Rainer could only sigh heavily after turning off the phone. He was still staring at the screen before putting it back in his pants pocket. Afterwards, Rainer walked over to Nayra who was pouring them drinking water.

Nayra who saw Rainer coming, immediately turned her head. She felt mediocre when the husband received a phone call from another woman.

"Eh, did you call?" nayra asked as she placed a glass of drinking water in front of Rainer.

"Hhhhhhhh."

Nayra was not particularly interested in Rainer and Regina's affairs. However, he was actually quite curious as to what was really going on between them. 

In the past, in the early days of Nayra working in Rainer's office, Nayra still often saw Regina heroically to the office. However, when Papa Rainer hands over the company to Rainer, Nayra rarely sees Regina coming to the office. Apparently, Regina is pursuing a career abroad.

"Tomorrow to return to Indonesia. It seems, mama will start preparing for the reception" Rainer said in the middle of their dinner.

"Yes. Mama also sent me a message."

Rainer just nodded his head. After that, he resumed his dinner. 

Meanwhile, Nayra was really curious about her employment status later after the announcement of the marriage between Rainer and herself. If it has happened, it does not rule out the possibility of causing a lot of gossip in the office. And, of course, that would make Nayra uncomfortable.

"Ehm, Mum. There's something I want to ask," Nayra said as she lowered her head. He seemed worried about making Rainer angry.

"What?" Rainer raised his head while staring at Nayra. Both of his eyebrows were almost clutched in curiosity.

"Ehm, later after the wedding reception, people will know about our wedding. And, if that's the case, what about my job at the office?" Nayra was hesitant to ask that.

"I mean how? Do you want to stop working?" Rainer apparently did not understand the meaning of Nayra's words.

"It's not so, Mom. Um, later if we have announced the wedding, it is certain that all employees in the office will know about it. And, it could have led to a lot of gossip and speculation among the employees. If that's the case, I'm sure I'll be very uncomfortable at work, Mas."

"I haven't thought about it before. Later, let me discuss with Papa first."

"Yes, Mas. But if I can, I want to keep working even if I'm not in Papa's office. It's uncomfortable to just stay at home and not do the usual activities."

Rainer's forehead wrinkled. He was still trying to digest Nayra's words. Still want to work even if not in papa's office? Does Nayra want to resign? inner Rainer.

"What does that mean? Do you want to resign from the office? You want to get out?"

Nayra was confused as to what to answer. "Ehm, it's actually like this, Mas. If I keep working in Papa's office, while all the employees already know my status, it will definitely cause an awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere."

"Those who know me well enough will keep their distance. And, of course it's uncomfortable for me, Mom."

"Then, if you want to get out of the office, where will you work?"

"Ehm, I can find a job in another office. There are still many offices that open job vacancies?" Nayra replied while feeding the rice back into the mouth.

"can't. If you want a job, I'll give it to you." Rainer looked at Nayra's face.

"really? What'sthat?" Nayra looked enthusiastic.

"Work of conceiving my children."

"Huh?"
