Paying Karma Love

57 Farewell Time

Mr. Beni directs his car into a white residential gate that stands majestically. Around the gate, there are many statues that add beauty to the residential area. Some security people who served in front, immediately let Mr. Beni in when he saw Reiner open the window of his car.

Along the way, lined large houses with rows of luxury cars were plastered in garages. Audrey guessed that the housing was the area where famous businessmen and executives lived.

"Sir, to block seven" Reiner said, giving a hint to Mr. Beni.

"Good, Sir."

Reiner took Audrey by the hand and pulled her out of the car.

"Darling, this is our new home."

Audrey stared at the three-story house with a spacious balcony and glass doors in front of her. In front of the house there is a minimalist garden decorated with lily, chrysanthemum, and lavender.

"Rein, this house is so beautiful. How do you know I love these flowers?" audrey was surprised.

"I asked your Mama. I purposely told the servants to plant it to surprise you."

Audrey kissed Reiner happily.

"Dear, thank you. You're very attentive to me."

"From now on, I want to always make you happy" Reiner hugged Audrey.

Reiner took Audrey into the house and showed her all the rooms in the house.

"Darling, this will be the room for our son. You can decorate it with any color you like."

"It's still too soon, honey. Later if we already know the gender of our child, then we can decorate it. Oh yeah, you want a boy or a girl?" ask Audrey curious.

"Just the same. But from the articles I've read, boys are usually similar to their mothers. That's why I want a boy to look like my beautiful wife" Reiner replied, looking into Audrey's eyes.

"Rein, you're starting to seduce again. Will you seduce me like this if I get fatter?"

"I don't care, for me you're still pretty."

"Darling, now you better rest in the room. You can't be too tired" Reiner said, helping Audrey climb to the second floor.

Upon arrival in the room, Reiner enveloped Audrey and told her to rest.

"Rein.." said Audrey hesitantly.

"What's up, honey? Do you want to eat something?"

"Tomorrow Monday may I go into the office? I'd like to hand over my resignation letter directly to Mr. Rizal. Mr. Rizal has been very kind to me. I also want to say goodbye to all the finance staff. Besides, I have the responsibility of holding the safe lock and a lot of important data. I have to do a handover with Mr. Rizal before I leave."

Reiner thought for a moment before answering Audrey's question.

"Good, Honey. I'll let you go tomorrow. But don't let Tristan get near you. How long will it take for you to hand over your job?"

"Darling, the rule of resignation should have been a month before. But I need three days to get it all done."

Reiner understood Audrey's heart that didn't want to just abandon her responsibilities.

"Good, Honey. I gave you three days. Remember to take care of your health and that of our baby."

"Yes, honey, thank you."

Audrey is really happy because Reiner now deeply understands her feelings and trusts her completely.

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

Reiner kissed Audrey in the stomach before she got out of the car.

"My dear child, you're fine. Mom wants to work first."

Audrey smiled and kissed Reiner on the cheek.

"Dear, don't worry. I'll take care of our baby. I promise I'll be home in time."

Audrey enters the office lobby and enters the empty elevator. However, he was shocked when the elevator door opened again. Audrey sees Tristan and her assistant, Ryan, getting into the elevator. Tristan seemed to ignore Audrey's whereabouts and set her gaze forward.

Audrey nodded her head at Ryan, but she did not dare to greet Tristan.

Tristan must have hated me after that dance. But it's better if he hates me than he loves me. I hope he can find a woman who truly loves him.

I think Audrey feels guilty.

Audrey left the elevator and headed to the finance room. The warm greeting from her staff suddenly made Audrey sad. In a moment, he would leave them and the office that for many years had been a part of his life. It was the work in Oragon that could comfort him and make him out of the bad memories of the past. However, Audrey strengthened her heart. He was determined to make this decision for Reiner and the baby he was carrying.

Finished following the morning briefing, Audrey met Mr. Rizal in her room.

"Sir, I'm sorry I wanted to talk to you about something important."

"Yes, Audrey, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm submitting my resignation as a finance supervisor. I will complete the handover of my work to the Father for the next three days. So Wednesday is my last day at work."

"Audrey, what's going on? Why did you resign suddenly? And why don't you wait a month?" asked Mr. Rizal surprised.

Audrey feels it's time she told Mr. Rizal the truth.

"Sir, I'm actually married. Forgive me for not saying it to you all this time."

"You're married? When did you get married, Audrey?"

"I got married a few months ago, sir. Now I am pregnant and I need to rest more. That's why I resigned from the office."

"If that's the reason, I can't stand in your way, Audrey. Family is more important."

"Yes, Sir. I want to thank you to you for guiding me all this time."

"Together, Audrey. I hope you and your baby are always healthy."

"Thank you, sir."

"Audrey, do you think any of our staff are suitable to be supervisors?"

"I think Yudha or Susan has the potential to be a supervisor, sir. Later if you need me to train them, I'll be ready to help."

"Okay, Audrey, thank you. Let's just start handing over per day. I'll hand over your resignation letter to the HRD Manager."

Audrey was relieved that Mr. Rizal accepted his resignation.

When it was time for lunch, Audrey invited her staff to lunch together. He had to tell them that he would soon resign from the office.

"Mr Audrey, is it true that you're going to resign?" tanya Tasya was sad.

"Yes, Tasya. I'm last at work tomorrow's Wednesday."

"Why did you rush to resign? Ma'am is our best and sweetest boss. Did our CEO tell you to resign? He's gonna propose to Mommy?" susan asked curiously.

"No, Susan. I'm already married. There's no way I'm getting married again" Audrey said with a smile.

Audrey's staff were shocked to hear her superior's confession.

"Huh? Mama is married? Who did you marry? Why not invite us?" tanya was surprised.

"Then how the fate of our CEO, he must be heartbroken," Renita continued to think of Tristan.

Audrey shook her head. But her men kept urging her to name her husband.

"Bak, who's your husband? Don't make us curious" Susan pleaded.

"Maybe Audrey's mother's husband is cooler than our CEO" Jessy said.

Audrey tried to calm down her own men who were on edge.

"You don't like to gossip."

"Sir, come on, take this as a parting gift for all of us" Tasya said, pleading with Audrey.

Audrey finally gave up. He showed me a photo from his phone when he was with Reiner in the strawberry garden.

"Geez, this is Khan Reiner Bratawijaya, the super handsome and successful young CEO. He often appears in magazines and business news on the internet. Very cool Ma'am Audrey has a husband Reiner Bratawijaya," praise Susan amazed.

"Makanya Ms. Audrey immediately resigned. Her husband's property for seven derivatives will not run out" Renita continued.

"Sir, please invite us sometime to the donk house. Must be a really fancy house like in the movie. And we all want photos with her husband. Later I uploaded a picture of him on social media to be surprised," said Tasya happy to imagine his imagination.

Audrey smiled at the excitement and cheerfulness of her staff who sometimes like to overdo it. However, he sure will miss them later when he is not working.

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

Karin sat next to Mommy. Diana seemed to be thinking of something.

"Tante, what is Aunt thinking?"

"Tante is thinking of how to get rid of Audrey."

"Tante, stop. Reiner Bratawijaya khan has warned Auntie. Better Aunt just forget Auntie's revenge on Audrey. Audrey was protected by two powerful men, Reiner and Tristan. We will not win against them" Karin assured Ms. Diana.

"Today, you think Auntie could just forget about Dave's death? Aunty won't live a quiet life before she retaliates against Audrey."

"Then what else is Aunt planning? Don't endanger yourself, Auntie" said Karin anxiously.

Smile on her lips. Diana.

"You take it easy, Karin. You said Audrey protected two men. Aunty will look for a gap when she is alone. When no one is protecting her, Auntie will get rid of her easily."
