Red Yarn Per-Hut

Chapter 25

A week later...

Alfhat returned to his usual activities. Busy himself with all the endless office work. As for Vivian, she had already forgotten about the woman.

All the luxury items that have been given to Vivian such as cars, apartments, jewelry and savings, he voluntarily gave back to the woman who had accompanied him for a year. However, he did not want Vivian to return to her life.

Etha has not yet been returned to her home. But, Etha was also busy with her work. A driver and two bodyguards Alfhat always drove him to work and kept an eye on him until he got home from work.

Etha had absolutely no problem getting an escort from Alfhat's men. He was relaxed and enjoying his work. It's just that, in the beginning sometimes his personal assistant and some employees always question both bodyguards Alfhat almost every day standby in front of the boutique exactly guard guards.

But Etha always gave a logical and reasonable answer, that they were only on guard duty for the sake of boutique security. It makes his personal assistant and employees never again question about the two fierce-looking bodyguards.

Since Etha lived in the apartment, after work, she usually took her time to the Savannah to ride a horse. Yes indeed the 30-year-old woman's hobby is horse riding and her hobby is already known by Alfhat.

Whatever Etha did must have been quickly noticed by Alfhat. Many eyes are always watching Etha's movements during outside activities. Including his hobby. Only, Alfhat did not know where Etha lived and he did not need to find out about it, because everything was arranged by his confidant.

For now, Alfhat has not also given a reprimand to Etha who often visited the Savana, because it was too busy with the affairs of his office. Alfhat never gave Etha permission to visit Savana. He did not want Etha to deal back with Alexander's family. He had already decided on everything concerning the Etha family.

Time has shown the clock home. Etha looked ready to go home. However, Kayla was seen rushing into her room while carrying an invitation in her hand.

"Miss, I'm bringing good news" Kayla said enthusiastically stepping over to her boss.

"What's up Kayla? why do you look so enthusiastic." said Etha and sat back in her chair.

"Happy Miss, you were chosen as 10 talented Muslim designers. Next week we are invited to join a fashion show with famous designers to introduce a collection of fashion designs, brand products that we have." said Kayla jubilant so happy.

"really?" etha asked in disbelief and immediately took the invitation from Kayla's hand and opened it quickly.

"Alhamdulillah. We have to make preparations from now on. The invitation to a fashion show is an existential event for a designer to introduce his design collection. And this is one of the extraordinary achievements for us." said Etha smiled with gratitude can be invited to do a fashion show of the design.

"True Miss. We have to prepare from now on. This is a golden opportunity for us to join a prestigious event to introduce our collection of fashion designs, so that our designs are known in the world. We with the whole team must work hard and never give up for this prestigious event" said Kayla eagerly.

"Yes, tomorrow morning we have a meeting with the employees. Anything that needs to be prepared to support a fashion show, we have to prepare it as much detail as possible" said Etha smiling as she got up from her seat.

"Okay my boss." said Kayla while saluting her boss.

Etha can only smile, then say goodbye to his personal assistant.

"Be careful Miss." said Kayla as she waved her hand looking at the departure of her superior. Etha turned around and showed off her smile. Then walk away.

Etha arrived at Alfhat's apartment at exactly 6 local time. Both bodyguards Alfhat again stand guard in front of the door of the apartment unit he occupies.

Etha stepped in with careless steps towards her room. He will cleanse himself, after that, then he conducts Maghrib prayers.

While elsewhere....

"How could such an incident happen in one of the night clubs. I warned the club manager not to accept underage visitors. Look now at the night club in the shade of troubled Alex." annoyed Alfhat as he stepped up the stairs to his room.

"I'll sort that out soon, sir. So, you should rest for a while, because you still have a schedule to attend the dinner of the prime minister" said Richard reminded his boss.

"Hmmm. Richard, I'm actually lazy to attend a banquet like that. You know for yourself, how the behavior of those who always lick their tongues just to match their daughters to important people like me." said Alfhat while stopping his steps. His gaze was instantly shifted towards the door of Etha's room.

Since Etha was not at home, the atmosphere of the luxury house was so stiff without a fierce debate that he always did with the old virgin woman who had been his legal wife.

"When are you going to pick up the old woman" said Alfhat sounding indifferent as he continued his steps.

"Tonight, you can too, which is clear you have given the order to pick him home" Richard smiled faintly as he raised his eyebrows.

Alfhat did not respond to his words.

"Don't you already miss Miss Etha" Richard teased his boss.

Alfhat immediately turned around and looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"He's not my taste" said Alfhat casually and rushed inside his room.

"Be careful sir, starting from hate can cause the seeds of love and speech can be a lie. Don't let you get smitten first with Miss Etha." said Richard smiled thinly and was insinuating his boss.

"Do you already have no other topic to discuss. So you keep talking about that old woman huh!" annoyed Alfhat while opening his suit and throwing him on the sofa. Then he sat his body on the sofa.

"It's true what you said. But don't take my words seriously" Richard said, shaking his head.

Richard moved to fetch mineral water in the refrigerator and then put it on the table right in front of his boss.

"Take me a cigarette in the nightstand drawer." Alfhat ordered after he finished sipping his mineral water.

"Sorry sir, since when do you smoke? smoking is not good for your health. Doctor Samuel has reminded you not to touch the item again" Richard said again reminding his boss.

"That's because..." Alfhat did not continue his words, because he felt embarrassed to tell the truth that he smoked to divert his world, knowing he was a normal man who had high desires.

While his precious assets are on leave and the woman who always made love to him is gone, so his escape is by smoking. Richard quickly began to understand what his boss was going through.

"Why don't you do it with Miss Etha. Isn't Miss Etha legal to be the wife of the master." proposed Richard.

"I wouldn't touch an old woman like her. Moreover, the old woman was so rude and dissident." said Alfhat with sharp eyes. His aura turned cold.

"If Miss Etha is a dissident, why don't you tame her by touching her" Richard continued to provoke her.

"Get out!" Alfhat immediately sent Richard out of his room.

"Consider carefully my proposal, sir, lest you lose Miss Etha. Because someone has been after your wife for a long time" Richard said grinningly trying to heat up his boss.

"Get out!!!"

Richard immediately ran away in tears to hear his boss yell, he quickly came out of his boss's room.

Seriate....
