Sweet Scandals

Ch. 53

A bright morning in a luxurious residence.

It looks like Olivia is getting ready to do her daily activities. While receiving a phone call, he stepped slowly towards his parked car in front of the house.

But his steps must stop because someone has been standing on the side of his car with an unusual appearance. Olivia ended her call.

"Replace?" Sapa Olivia was amazed to see the appearance of Ranti who looked elegant wearing the clothes she had given Ranti some time ago.

Ranti smiled sweetly while tidying up a little of her clothes.

"I've been thinking about your offer to help out at Galery." Ranti.

"Oh yeah? What's your decision then?"

"I have decided to accept your offer. I'll work with you in Galery. But apologize in advance, if if my work is not satisfactory, you can immediately fire me."

"Ha hah ..." Olivia laughed at Ranti's words that seemed so humbling.

"Jeez Ran. I believe in you. I'm sure you can work well. Besides, I'm not too demanding of your work. You want to come with me to Galery, I'm so happy." Olivia said as she walked down the stairs. Then hurry to open the car door.

"Come, Ran. We'll be late again." Tell Olivia to get in her car first. Then followed by Ranti.

.

Elsewhere, in another house. Axelle woke up from a deep sleep. His eyes glanced at the small clock on the nightstand. It's 08:00 in the morning.

"Gosh my god." He jumped, then hurriedly got out of bed.

He exited the room, down the stairs as quickly as possible. He swept his gaze across every corner of the house with a troubled heart, only to find Irene.

He quickened his steps towards Irene's room. However, the room was empty. Irene was not in her room. Then he rushed to the kitchen. The same thing he met. Irene was not in the kitchen. Only the well-organized dining table Irene left for him.

"Irene ... Why did you just leave. At least you wake me up. If you want to go to the parlor, I can take you there." Axelle was upset.

He then rushed to his room. Snatched his phone fast on the nightstand. Then start calling Irene.

"Why didn't you wake me up. Why just leave without saying goodbye. Do you know what your condition is like now? You're pregnant, Ren. Don't you know that I'm so worried about you?" Cecar Axelle as soon as the call is connected.

"Honey ..." A soft voice from across. Until Axelle was jerked. His consciousness was only fully gathered when a voice sounded out from across instead of Irene's voice. Except Clarissa.

"Honey ... What did you say just now? Try repeating again. I didn't hear it clearly. It's very noisy in here. I was running early in the morning, Honey. Do you want to come?" Clarissa said softly from across.

Axelle breathed a rough breath. He just realized, so rushed that he mispressed the number he wanted. Why Clarissa too. Did he just block Clarissa's number from her phone?

"How many times have I told you, stop calling me that. I really don't like it. Understand you?" Axelle was upset.

"It looks like there's something I've missed between you and that country girl. It turns out my guess is right. That girl's the cause of our relationship breaking up."

"Here you go, I don't want to hear anything from you anymore. Better from now on, don't ever interrupt my life again."

Tut

Axelle cut off her phone connection unilaterally with a rough fit. A few seconds later, his phone rang again.

"What else is it." Rough Axelle answered the incoming call. So upset.

But soon his face changed again. After hearing the voice that answered from across was different.

"Can you come see me at the office today?" Ask Zaky from across the street.

Axelle was massaging her temples gently. Actually, he refused to leave the house today. But since Zaky asked, Irene was out of the house. Inevitably, he must obey Zaky's request.

"Yes, okay." Then disconnect the phone.

.

.

Irene opened her wardrobe, in her old room. He took out a small box from the closet. He then sat down on the edge of the bed. He slowly opened the box. He took a picture of his childhood. He moved the photo into a small bag that he always carried everywhere. Then he took a necklace. He put the necklace on his neck. For years, he suddenly wanted to wear the necklace.

"Mrs ..." Greeting a soft voice, made Irene slightly flinch.

Ms. Norma came in and took a seat next to her.

"I came to get some of my stuff, Mom." Irene said as she closed the small box again. Then put it back in the closet.

"Oh ... Oh yeah, have you eaten?"

"Already, Mom. I've had breakfast from home."

"Ti_no Ma'am. I'm not sick. Maybe I just don't sleep enough." It was Irene who was getting nervous. However, she was afraid that Ms. Norma would know that she was pregnant at this time. Moreover, her marriage to Axelle was just a charade. He just didn't want to disappoint Ms. Norma.

"Ooh ... Yes already. Then you should get enough rest. Do not sleep too late. It's not good for your health."

Irene smiled clumsily. "I_iya Ma. From now on, I'll go to bed early."

"Mother stay first, I want to prepare lunch for the children."

Irene smiled again as she looked at Ms. Norma's departure.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

There was a knock on the door from outside. Diverting Zaky's attention for a moment from some sheets of paper he was reading.

"Lake in." His words.

The door opened, as Axelle stepped into Zaky's room. Slightly surprised by Axelle's sudden arrival, until Zaky. In a hurry he put the sheet of paper in his desk drawer. His attitude also looks like a misdeed. At first glance Zaky looked like he was hiding something.

"Axis ... Have you come?" Zaky tried to shake off her nervousness.

Unwelcome Axelle immediately took a seat in front of Zaky's desk.

"What's that?" Axelle asked, setting her eyes on Zaky's desk drawer.

"Oh, mom_it's nothing." I don't know why Zaky looks nervous.

"Just right away, why did you ask me to come here." Axelle to the point.

"Actually there are a lot of things I want to talk about. But it looks like next time. I was just talking about Ms. Olive's offer to you."

"What offer?"

"She is very interested in making you as a model of her latest catalog. How, you want to?"

"I thought about it first. The problem is I want to take a vacation first. I want to take a break."

"Together Irene."

Axelle was silent for a moment. Weighing on the offer Zaky made. The problem is that Irene is pregnant. Over time his stomach will grow. How could he still work for Olivia.

"It's just an offer. If you don't want to be okay, too. But Irene might have accepted the offer." Zaky.

"All right."

"So you ..."

"Yes, I accepted the offer." Axelle then got up from her seat.

"Then I'd better go home." Added. Then move on. Not yet had his hand to turn the door handle, he turned his body again.

"Oh yeah, I might need your help." Axelle.

"Help? What help?"

Axelle sighed for a moment. Then he said, "I want to legally marry Irene."

In that instant, Zaky was silent. Soon after, it looked strange. His eyes occasionally glanced at his desk drawer. It was as if he was hiding something.

"One more thing, I'm asking you to help me find a housekeeper. I need it to help with Irene's work at home." Added Axelle.

"Ba_good." Zaky's heart is short.

"Thanks." -." Without the need to linger anymore Axelle rushed out of Zaky's room.

Zaky breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Axelle walked out of her room. Open the desk drawer again. He took back the paper he had read earlier. Sighing deeply, his hand moved again, pulling something out of his desk drawer.

He saw two small books in his hand, which read the Marriage Book of the Husband and the Marriage Book of the Wife. A second later he put the book back in his desk drawer, stacking it together with a sheet of paper in his hand.

"I hope Axelle will never know this." He murmured softly, then locked the drawer tightly. And hid the key between the books neatly arranged on his bookshelf.
