Only Mr. Zack's Contract Wife
Political marriage
The break is over. Tania and I moved out of the cafeteria to get back to their desks.
Arriving in the room, I began to busy preparing a revision of the script, then contacted Friska's manager. As per Gress' mother's request.
Before my hand pressed the phone number of Friska's manager, suddenly my attention was diverted by the contents of whatsapp messages from my lover, namely Bryan. Each one makes me forget Bryan a little.
...[.Bryyan]...
...It seems my boyfriend is too busy with a new project. 😔...
That's whatsapp messages I read from Bryan, and it makes me feel a little guilty about him. Because, at the end of this meeting frequency we are slightly hampered by work routines.
...[.Girl]...
...Sorry dear, I'm busy with various revisions of advertising projects. But I always loved you. 😉...
After replying to Bryan's message, I resumed my main goal of taking the phone, which was to call Friska's manager to ask him to enter into a cooperation contract.

It didn't feel like it was almost evening, while I was still preoccupied with the preparation of some advertising projects. Until I forgot that Axel was waiting for me in his room.
Looks like I'm looking to die if I don't obey the orders of the big boss of DZ Production.
Finally, I packed all the things I was going to bring home. I will continue my work at home.
The atmosphere of the office is quite quiet, Tania my best friend has also gone home first. There was actually a deep fear when I hit the elevator button number 15.
I have never set foot there, reportedly the 15th floor is only inhabited by Axel room only.
For about five minutes I reached my destination. This hand feels very heavy to knock on the door of the room that says Chief Executive Officer.
My heart was already beating erratically, even cold sweat started to feel on my forehead.
Geck... Geck...
Finally, I ventured to knock on Axel's door. But there is no answer from inside.
"Is Axel home yet?" whispered in my heart.
I was curious to try pushing the unlocked door handle. My eyes ran all over the room. Until I finally found Axel's shadow behind a large window that pierced the twilight sky.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Axel." in a fearful tone, I tried to greet him.
"Sore" he said, turning his body, and then staring at me.
"I've been waiting for you since Miss Girl." right, sure enough my guess.
Why do I have to buy time? But, nevermind.
Axel walked closer and closer towards me, until the scent of his body was able to pierce my nose.
Damnit damnit! Rachel could be crazy about Axel. He is a man with a million charms.
"Are you afraid to meet me?" axel asked while looking at my face.
"Yes" I replied slowly trying to acknowledge what I was feeling right now.
"Are you not a brave woman?" axel said with a slight wry smile.
"Every night, I can see how cruel you are when you slap David's face" Axel said again. But, who's David? I don't understand Axel's words.
"The middle-aged man you slapped last night" he said, like a question in my brain.
"He was rude to me. So, it's only natural that I act that way." I tried to explain what really happened to me that night.
"Do you know what kind of man David is?" ask Axel again. While I can only shake my head.
I never knew about David.
"Marry me, if you want to survive David's pursuit." Looks like my ears are mishearing. An Axelio Kevin Zack asked me to get married.
Right Tania said, that is impossible!
"What's? Married." I said reflexively when I heard the wedding offer from Axel's mouth.
"Why? Do you mind?" the series of questions made Axel more courageous to me.
Axel pulled my chin to look at each other. I also ventured to look back at his face.
My mind still thinks the same as it was this morning, Axel is very similar to Bryan. Especially when viewed at this close distance.
"Obviously I mind!" firm sayings.
It's about my personal matters, Axel is not who here, and I have the right to refuse him.
"Is it because of the ring on your finger?" suddenly Axel's gaze was fixed on my finger.
It's true that Bryan's ring was embedded in my ring finger.
"You could say that" I replied casually, as if I had forgotten who Axel was.
"Leave your lover!" axel said with a pressing tone.
"I'm not ready to marry young Mr. Axel, my dream is still long." finally, I'm more acknowledging my main reason for not wanting to get married in the near future.
"I'm not going to ruin your dreams girl. Enough to be a name in my wedding book, the rest I won't demand anything." Axel's words felt a little pushy. But, again I don't want to. Besides the guy I love is just Bryan.
"What is your primary purpose in asking me to marry you?"
"I'm sure there must be another purpose behind this political marriage" I said firmly, as if understanding the contents of Axel's head. The man only smiled for a moment.
"It turns out you're too good at reading girls' situations." she thought I wouldn't think so far. Perhaps in his mind all women would easily accept it.
"I have to get married before I go back to my grandfather, so I can reclaim my father's rights. I promise you, girl, this marriage won't change your freedom." Axel said when he saw me saying nothing, it was his turn to speak again.
"Why should I?" my question is still inexhaustible why Axel prefers me.
"I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who want this offer." I managed to make a smile on Axel's lips rise again.
"Because, David's only interested in you girls. I want to see how angry David is when he finds out you're my wife." To be honest, I don't even understand what Axel's saying.
"David is my uncle, he killed my father about fifteen years ago. If I had to be honest, why would all my corporate assets be named after Alfiyana Faris? Because, I don't want my existence to be smelled by David's family." Now I understand what Axel meant to ask me to marry him.
It just makes my head feel like it's going to break.
"I don't want to get involved with your act of revenge on David" I said with a sharp look at Axel.
"It should be so girl. But, two men from the Victor family are already interested in you" Axel said, holding me inside his arm. My body position is now cornered on the walls of Axel's room.
Geck... Geck...
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and managed to make Axel a little off guard. I don't want to miss this opportunity either.
Axel's arm was immediately removed, so that I could escape from this terrible room.
"Sorry Mr. Axel, excuse me." I said gently, as if nothing had happened. Because, at the end of the door already displays the figure of a man named Alfiyana Faris. The man Axel already believes in becoming the DZ's chief director.
Faris had already witnessed Axel's attitude that looked very close to me. Surely Faris would have thought that wasn't me.
"New problem again." My mind says so.
After this, my name will be gone. Faris must have thought that I was an employee who was trying to tempt the big boss of DZ Production.
