Chequek..
The sound of the friction of the door knob made Gloria hurriedly close and put the black box back in place.
"Honey.. You left me." The man with a heavy voice greeted him even though he was still in the doorway.
"I-i"
"Why are you sitting on a cold floor, baby?" Shaka interrupted Gloria who was about to answer him.
Degs..
Gloria's heart still throbbed after seeing the photos of a woman in the box and now her heart is beating faster with Shaka's question that she must answer so that the man does not suspect her.
"That's.. I accidentally dropped your ball." He immediately got a fitting excuse when he saw the ballpoint pen he was holding tightly in his cold sweaty hand.
"You don't have to sit on the floor looking for a pen, baby." Shaka helps Gloria get off the floor. "Your body is no less cold than this floor," He continued as his skin came into contact with Gloria's skin.
Gloria just nodded then climbed onto the bed, she clenched her hands on the white sheet she was sitting on. "Honey.. You-" Gloria stopped her sentence for hesitating to ask about the photo and the woman she met in the shopping mall.
"Yes?" Shaka asked as gently as usual.
"You change clothes and then we go to sleep, we have to get up early so tomorrow we can leave early." At last that was what Gloria said from her mouth that was moody.
"Of course my wife."

The sky has changed color to be bright, the sun also seems to shine brighter. Shaka came out of the bathroom after nearly half an hour of struggling with water and expensive bath soap that faithfully took care of his skin.
He rubbed a small towel on his wet hair, then walked casually to the clothes room and then went in there.
10 Minutes later he came out of the room wearing a t-shirt and trousers, not as formal as usual when leaving for the office.
He frowned in confusion when he found Gloria still curled up on the bed, "Honey.. Why don't you get up?" He said as he walked towards the bed.
"Darling.." He said, "Hot.." He muttered as he touched Gloria's cheek with the intention of waking the woman, but instead he found her feverish.
Yeah, Gloria's got a fever. Last night the woman did not sleep at all, she could not close her eyes calmly, her mind also floated rampant somewhere. Thinking about how her husband lived in the past, how many women were present in her husband's life, and why her husband kept the photos.
Shaka rushed out of his room, "Mother!! Mama!" The man's shout was as loud as possible until his voice echoed filled nearly half of the 2-story mansion.
All the residents who heard it immediately headed to the origin of the voice, "Honey, what's up? Why are you calling Mom like that?!" Madam Zalleo asked frantically, after Grand Master Zalleo and a few servants.
"Gloria's sick, Mom, come with me to the room quickly." Shaka took her mother's hand and they went into the room.
Jamb.. Shaka's chest felt pierced by a very sharp pointy wood, right said his mother. He should have immediately contacted his family's personal doctor, aaah a fool of himself.
"I'm fine mother," Saut Gloria limp who had woken up from her sleep, she accidentally heard the words of the in-laws.
Shaka's mother brought herself closer to the bed, she gently touched Gloria's forehead with the back of her hand. "You have a fever baby, I'll call the doctor to check on you."
"Yes mother.." Gloria replied, she did not want to refuse because she felt her condition was not healthy.
"Why is he still here? Quickly get the waiter to call the doctor." Ketus Shaka's mother to her son.
"ah! Yes mother. I'll call him myself." Shaka picked up his phone that was on the nightstand, then immediately called the doctor.
After which, he returned to the bed and sat down beside Gloria lying down. He looked at Gloria's deathly pale face, then tidied up the hair child blocking the woman's face.
"You're leaving my husband, Sam's secretary must be waiting for you at the airport. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company, I'm so sorry." Gloria said wrongly.
"I'm the one who should be sorry, baby, I should take care of you when you're sick like this." He paused his words for a moment and seemed to think, "Should I not go to Hawaii."
"Don't.." Gloria disagrees. "This business trip is very important for the company, you can't cancel it just because of me. Get ready to leave, don't worry, there's a father and a mother who take care of me.. Mum.."
Gloria stared and smiled weakly towards her two in-laws.
"Of course, we'll take very good care of you. You're our son." Madam Zalleo said then in the nod of the great Lord Zalleo.
"Hurry to go." Once again Gloria reassured Shaka.
"Alright, I'll leave after the doctor arrives."
Gloria shook her head softly, "Come now, I'll let you know how I'm doing after the doctor has finished examining me. If you wait it'll waste a lot of your time, pity secretary Sam."
Gloria still persuaded the man who was holding her hand.
Shaka looked at the clock that was coiled around his wrist, the time had already shown at 10 a.m. He was too late, if he had to wait for the doctor to arrive Samuel would have condemned him strongly because his secretary had not stopped calling.
He was silent for a moment and agreed, "Okay... I'm leaving now, I'll call you often. And as much as possible finish the job there quickly so I can get home soon." He said to Gloria.
"Mother, call me immediately about my wife's condition." Switching to his mother.
After reassuring each other, Shaka prepares to leave for the airport to be escorted by his personal driver.
