Paying Karma Love

20 Wife Maid

Audrey's alarm went off loud, the time sign was five in the morning. With her eyes still heavy, Audrey forced herself off the bed. He stretched his achy body and walked to the bathroom. Audrey deliberately washed her face many times with water to relieve the drowsiness that still attacked her. A warm shower relaxes her body a little. After the bath, the first place she looked at was the kitchen. He had to make breakfast for Reiner. Audrey decided to make a sandwich for breakfast. She remembers Sofia once telling her that Reiner likes to eat sandwiches in the morning. While making a sandwich, Audrey heats the water to make a warm drink.

I don't know what the Great Lord drank at breakfast. I just prepared these three drinks so he could choose for himself.

audrey thought, putting coffee powder, chocolate milk powder, and a teabag next to the empty cup she prepared. He wrote on a piece of paper and wrote something on the table.

Sir, I didn't put any poison in this sandwich, so you can eat in peace.

Audrey sat down for a while at the dinner table and ate her sandwich. He remembered that he still had to do the toughest task this morning, which was to prepare clothes for Reiner, which meant that he had to go into the man's room. Audrey just wishes Reiner's room door wasn't locked or else she had to knock on the door and wake Reiner up. Maybe he'll scold her and tell her to stop working right then and there. Audrey shuddered in horror at imagining it and tried to shake off her excessive fear. Slowly, Audrey held onto Reiner's room door and tried to open it.

Yes, I survived. The room's not locked.

thought Audrey was relieved.

Audrey tried not to make a sound as she walked into Reiner's room. Audrey saw the man's room was predominantly masculine blue with a wood-scented room fragrance. The items in the room also looked classy and all neatly arranged. Audrey passed by Reiner who was still fast asleep and rushed towards the wardrobe.

Why is Reiner's face facing here? What if he wakes up because I opened the closet.

Audrey paused for a moment to look at Reiner's sleeping face tilted towards her. His face looked innocent, peaceful, and handsome while he was deep asleep. Audrey remembered Reiner's gentle and loving attitude while still with Sofia. It differed by one hundred and eighty degrees with the attitude he showed Audrey. But Audrey realized she couldn't just throw the blame at Reiner. Anyone who was in Reiner's position would definitely hate Audrey so much, for having caused the death of her sister. Audrey shooed away her thoughts that were starting to whistle everywhere. He opened the closet door slowly.

Which shirt should I choose for her?

Audrey paused for a moment thinking about the suit she had to prepare for Reiner. Those clothes all look good and would be suitable for a handsome man like Reiner. Audrey suddenly remembered her late father who always looked handsome and dashing wearing a dark blue shirt suit when he was about to leave for the office.

Thanks, Pa helped Audrey.

audrey mumbles.

Audrey picked up a dark blue suit and a matching tie. He placed everything carefully on Reiner's bedside chair. Audrey was very relieved to be able to get out of that room. He rushed to the shoe storage room to prepare the shoes and socks that Reiner would wear. Not forgetting Audrey put down a big plastic bag filled with dirty clothes. After everything was ready, Audrey walked into her room and changed her clothes to work clothes. He deliberately chose a blazer with a maroon-red turtleneck tanktop suit, in order to cover part of his neck. Audrey also makeup herself with a slightly thicker makeup so that the sadness on her face is no longer visible. Audrey read the message from her phone. The online taxi driver is ready to wait below. With quick steps, Audrey took her briefcase and headed to the main door.

Very small number of these buttons. I have to wear glasses.

I thought Audrey was worried.

Audrey looked around for the glasses she used to keep in her bag. However, a sturdy hand suddenly touched him from behind.

"This alone can't," Reiner said, pressing the door password button. Audrey was surprised to feel the presence of Reiner standing very close behind her back. The girl looked back so her eyes looked directly at Reiner's eyes for a while.

"Well, what office do you want to sing on stage? Your makeup is so thick" Reiner said, pointing at Audrey's face.

"Sorry, sir, I'm going to the office. Thank you for helping me. Sorry to wake you, sir," said Audrey embarrassed.

"Waken? I've been up since. You think I can stay asleep if someone sneaks into my room" Reiner said.

...****************...

Mr. Rizal came to Audrey's desk after the morning briefing, "Audrey, come to my room. I have something to say."

"Well, sir," Audrey replied following Mr. Rizal into her room.

"Drey, tomorrow we'll have a new staff in the receivables section."

"Staff in the receivables, sir? Is there no Yudha? I don't think we need any additional staff on that part."

"Yudha will temporarily be transferred to the HRD section to take care of payroll. The new staff will replace Yudha's duties."

Audrey looked confused by the sudden movement of staff. Usually, Mr. Rizal always discussed with him about staff changes, especially about the recruitment of new employees for the finance division. Mr. Rizal seems to know Audrey's thoughts and tries to explain them.

"Drey, this is a direct order from our director, so we have to obey. I was also just in the info yesterday afternoon. Tomorrow, please introduce him to all the staff and explain the jobdesk details. I ask you to guide him for the next three months. I think Karin has started to do her own work."

"Yes, sir, I understand. Can I see the new employee's profile?"

"Sorry, Drey, I don't have his profile. HRD Manager said the name of our new staff Tristan, he's about 26 years old, only two years younger than you. He's a graduate from abroad, so must be quick to learn. I trust him to you."

"Well, sir, I will help you as much as possible" Audrey replied, calming her boss down.

On the eve of lunch break, Audrey gets a call from Nicko.

"Good day, Miss Audrey. Please send me your account number and active email. I'll wait right away."

"Account number? For what purposes, Mr Nicko?" ask Audrey suspiciously.

"I'm just following Mr. Reiner's orders, Miss. Please Miss, just follow."

Audrey is annoyed to hear Nicko's answer that always carries Reiner's name to scare her. He also had to comply with Nicko's request.

"Okay, Mr. Nicko I'll send you right away."

In about ten minutes, Nicko sent a message to Audrey's phone.

Miss I've already sent five hundred million rupiah to your account. Please check. The money was as monthly compensation from Mr. Reiner. I also sent Mr. Reiner a breakfast and dinner menu to prepare for a month. If there are any food ingredients that are lacking or something that Miss does not understand, Miss can contact Bi Mila. Thank Thank You.

Audrey checked the incoming notification from her bank account. It is true that there is a transfer of money in five hundred million rupiah.

Why would he send this much money? What's to demean me again? Or maybe this money is considered my salary as his maid? I should ask him later.
