The Shackles of the Past

Cooperation

Happy Reading 🌹🌹

The entire Wijaya family is doing breakfast as usual.

"Ken, Grandpa's going to LA with Uncle Santosa today." Said Grandpa Wijaya who had finished eating his breakfast.

"Why is it so sudden Dad?" Ask Kalevi in wonder.

"No, I planned this a few days ago with Santosa." Reply Grandpa Wijaya.

"Dad in LA is it long?" Ask the photo as usual.

"Lumayan, as long as I go take care of Alice and Kenan don't let them fight." Grandpa Wijaya said to Citra.

The image smiled in annoyance, "Well Dad." Answer slowly.

Alice who heard that Grandpa Wijaya would go abroad long enough was only able to sigh deeply.

"Must go back to the bring-in room." Think Alice.

"Ken's done, Grandpa be careful on the road." Kenan said to Grandpa.

"Sure, take good care of Alice Ken."

Ken simply nodded then walked over and followed Alice from behind, as usual the two departed from the mansion together.

Kenan's luxury car began to leave the mansion and prepared to split the traffic jam in the morning.

Ken's car passed through the usual place where he dropped Alice off, "Ken, you didn't drop me?" Alice asked in wonder.

"Do you want Grandpa to see you when you leave for the airport." Kenan replied without looking at Alice.

The corner of Alice's lips twitched, she should have understood that Kenan would not be that good on her.

"Your father's company has begun to recover, although it still has to get a chapter from Wijaya's company."

Ken suddenly talks about Alice's family company, making the silent woman turn her head towards Kenan.

"Thank God." Answer Alice slowly.

Ken raised his eyebrows and turned his head toward Alice, "You're not happy?" Ask Ken.

"Of course very happy, especially if my father's company can really rise without the support of funds from the Wijaya company." Alice answered honestly.

Hearing Alice's reply, the corner of Kenan's lips lifted.

"I hope so, after that we can get divorced." Ken said firmly.

"I agree with you." Alice said quickly.

Hearing Alice so easily agree to divorce makes Ken feel angry, why with women who become his wife is not afraid to lose Kenan even more Alice who is not interested in him.

"Before the divorce, we'll go on our honeymoon." Ken told Alice.

Kenan's request made Alice glare at his eyes, "Don't you dare touch me, remember what you said the first time we got married. I'm not expecting a child for you, either, Kenan." Alice answered firmly.

Once again, Alice managed to tarnish Kenan's self-esteem as a man especially a husband.

"I wouldn't touch you either." Ken said he maintained his pride.

"Good." Said Alice.

Ken's car has arrived at the company. The car stops at the main door as Ferdy opens the door for Ken while Alice exits the other door.

The employees who saw Alice one car with Ken became excited, remembering rumors circulating whether it was true if Alice was a mistress of a Kenan Wijayakusuma company leader Wijaya.

Ken walked in with Ferdy and Alice behind him, the employees who were initially whispered to see the look on the face of his boss this morning was not good to re-emerge new speculation.

Are they fighting? Is Alice really the CEO's mistress? Will they publish their relationship in public soon?

Ferdy pressed the button towards Ken's room, there was no chatter inside the elevator just silence and their respective thoughts.

Ken stared at Alice's reflection from the elevator wall, a glint of anger clearly visible in Kenan's eyes.

Inversely, Alice was silent and contemplating. Maybe by quickly getting divorced from Kenan makes his life back to what it used to be.

Alice is not a hypocrite, herself acknowledging her husband's good looks and charismatic manner. He is also just an ordinary human being who is only able to try to get away from the feelings that begin to grow.

The clinking of the elevator rang out, Ferdy's call making Alice startled.

"Miss, we're here." Ferdy said with a shake of Alice's arm.

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Fer." Alice answered a little.

Alice stared at Ken's back, which had gone so far that the figure disappeared behind the door of the CEO's room.

Breathing sounds, immediately Alice walks towards her desk. There were already many documents on the workbench that he had to finish immediately.

"Miss." Call Ferdy.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ask Alice.

"Wijaya and Santosa companies are working together to build a villa, Mr. Kenan sent you as the person in charge of this cooperation." Ferdy explained to Alice.

Alice immediately widened her eyes, "Fer, there is no way I can be in charge. You know I'm still learning and haven't gotten to this stage. How could Kenan bestow upon me." Alice answered in frustration.

"I'm sorry Miss, I'm just following orders from Mr. Kenan." Said Ferdy slowly.

Alice pulled her hair back in frustration, and immediately grabbed the cooperation map from Ferdy's hand.

Brak!

Ken's door opened quickly and violently, "Ken!" Excited Alice.

Kenan threw his pen on the table and crossed his chest, looking at Alice who was walking with anger towards Kenan.

"Do you have no manners." Kenan.

"This means what Ken, I can't be in charge of this partnership." Alice to the Point.

"It is up to me to give you any job Alice does, as long as we work under my auspices. Want not to ... Like it or not, you have to follow my orders." Answer Kenan firmly.

"Ken, this is a collaboration that is not small. I haven't had any experience with this Ken." Alice said.

"Aren't you a graduate from abroad, even the best graduate at your university. That's easy for your little brain." Ken said slightly insinuating Alice.

"The best graduate if you don't have the experience is like filling water in a hollow glass Kenan Wijayakusuma." Alice said with great emphasis on Kenan.
