The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 56 The Dangerous Trap (Part 1)

Alvian drove his car at a fairly high speed in the midst of the swift rain.

"Wear a tissue to dry your hair" said Alvian looking straight ahead.

Cleantha felt bad for bothering Alvian for the umpteenth time. Moreover, Alvian clothes so wet with rain water, because of pulling him into the car.

"Why don't you take an online taxi or call the driver Kak Raja to pick you up?" ask Alvian.

"My phone's dead, sir. I also forgot to bring a charger," Cleantha replied honestly.

Alvian just shook his head while sighing. It was free that he advised this girl at length. After all, Cleantha never got tired of repeating her teledor deeds.

"From tomorrow ask the driver of King's brother to take you to the office. Or should I call for you too?"

"No, Sir. Let me just," said Cleantha preventing Alvian.

"Later after returning home, quickly turn on the phone. King's brother will definitely contact you. If your phone dies, maybe I'll get the sap" Alvian said upset.

"Yes, sir."

Actually Cleantha felt this was the best chance to talk to Alvian. Just asking for his help to clarify the rumors circulating. But seeing Alvian's bad mood, Cleantha did not dare to speak up.

His tongue feels ugly. Especially if you have to say that people think of him as Alvian's girlfriend. That sentence is not worth saying.

"Where are you going home? To your house or the house of King?" ask Alvian.

"To my house, sir."

Without speaking again, Alvian continued to drive until he finally reached Cleantha's house.

"I don't carry an umbrella in the car. If you go down it'll be soaked."

Alvian took his cell phone and handed it to Cleantha.

"Call one of your family members to bring an umbrella to pick you up."

With hesitation, Cleantha received Alvian's phone. He had to call Ana, because Keyla must not have gone home.

"Hello, who is this?" tanya Ana looked at the unknown number.

"Tante, it's me, Clea. I'm in front of the house. Can Auntie bring me an umbrella? It was raining outside" Cleantha said.

"Yes, wait a minute."

Sighing, Ana carried two large umbrellas. One for her and one for Cleantha.

Ana opens the door and sees a red sports car parked in the yard. He remembered that the car was the same as the car that once drove Cleantha.

"That must be Lord King. But Cleantha said she was on holiday abroad,"

muttered Ana in the heart.

His laziness suddenly turned into a blazing spirit. Who knows later on he could benefit from Cleantha's boss.

"It's her umbrella" said Ana thrusting a gray umbrella into Cleantha's hand.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Cleantha opened the umbrella and got out of Alvian's car.

"Thank you, sir, for driving me."

Ana bows her body while smiling at Alvian.

"Sir, I'm glad to see you again. Thank you for bringing Cleantha home," Ana said looking for a face.

"Sama-sama Aunt. I went home" said Alvian, closing his car window.

After Alvian's car passed, Ana rushed to intercept Cleantha.

"Clea, why are you lying? You said Lord King went abroad. He's actually here and taking you home."

"That's not Mr. King but Mr. Alvian, my boss at the office, Auntie. He's her brother Lord King" Cleantha explained.

Ana's eyes were instantly filled with a twinkle of happiness.

"Oh, Lord King has a younger brother. Is her sister still single?"

"Yes, Auntie," Cleantha replied as she folded her umbrella.

"Ah, that's great. Looks like he's very attentive to you. You should stay close to Mr. Alvian. Make her fall in love until she marries you. If you become his wife, our family's financial condition will improve" Ana told Cleantha.

Cleantha reluctantly responds to Ana. He is very familiar with Ana's goals that only focus on money and wealth.

"Tante, I'm going to take a shower first" said Cleantha leaving Ana.

"Bas with this boy! I advised her to get a rich husband, but she wouldn't listen to me,"

gerutu Ana felt ignored.

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

Finishing the bath, Cleantha hurriedly took her charger. He waited about ten minutes and turned on his phone.

Sure enough there's been an unanswered call from the King. Not long after, her husband returned to call using a video call.

Cleantha was happy when she saw the handsome face of the King on her mobile screen.

"Sorry, sir, my phone's battery is running out. I just got home from the office and filled it up right now."

"What time is there? Why did you just come home?"

"Hour eight, sir. It was raining heavily after the office, so I waited for a bit. Fortunately, Mr. Alvian helped me. I was driven home."

The king furrowed his brows.

"You've been driven home by Alvian? Why don't you tell Ahmad to take you home?"

"Yes, sir, it's my fault. Next time I will ask Mr. Ahmad for help," Cleantha replied bowed.

Seeing Cleantha looking scared of him, the King immediately calmed his wife down.

"I'm not angry with you. I'm calling you to show me my hotel room."

The king pointed his cell phone camera around the room. He showed a large bed and various furniture nuanced sakura country. Surprisingly in the room there was no sign of Zevira.

"Did the Lord King sleep alone? He's not with his first wife?"

inner Cleantha.

Somehow the fact that the King slept alone made Cleantha so relieved.

"Clea, do you like my hotel room?" ask King.

"Yes, that's great, sir," Cleantha replied stammering.

"If you like it, next year I'll bring you here, alone."

The promise the King made Cleantha gasp.

Next year their marriage agreement is over. Where could he possibly go with the King for a vacation. Could the king have forgotten that?

Although hesitant, Cleantha chose silence. Not to dispute the King's words.

"Clea, maybe the day after tomorrow I can't reach you. I went to the snowy mountain range with Ivyna. I'll call you back when I get back to Tokyo" Raja said.

"Yes, Sir. Enjoy your holiday with Ivyna."

"Rest and think of nothing. We'll meet in a few days."

The king said good night to his wife and ended the video call.

"Sir, if I could still be your wife next year, I would be very happy,"

muttered Cleantha while laying herself on the bed.

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

Alvian was very busy all day. He had to replace the King following several marathon meetings with investors and financial watchdogs. He almost missed lunch.

Plopping himself on the chair, Alvian gulped down a bottle of mineral water to restore his concentration.

"Drrrrttt, drrrrttt,..."

I heard the vibration of his phone a few times.

Alvian squinted his eyes when he saw Fendi's name.

"Fendi? Why'd he call me,"

alvian thought surprised.

Although he hates Fendi's behavior, Fendi is still his cousin. There's no harm in picking up the phone from Fendi for a second.

"Hello, Fendi, what's the need to call me?" asked Alvian in a faint tone.

"Al, how are you? I called you because I wanted to ask you how you are. You've been back from London a long time, but you never told me. Weren't we friends?" said Fendi with stale.

"We used to be close, but not anymore. Ever since you betrayed my brother, I've not considered you a friend" Alvian replied bluntly.

Fendi shrunk his voice and made it sound full of regret.

"That's exactly it, Al. I would like to correct my mistake with the King. I'm really sorry and ashamed of myself for ruining your sister's marriage. At that time I was a philanderer, but now I'm conscious."

"What does this have to do with me?" ask Alvian suspiciously.

"I want to discuss and ask for your help, how can the King be willing to forgive me. You have been the one who understands the King the most. You can be a good mediator and mediator."

"Are you sure you'll apologize to King?"

"Yes, Al. We are all members of the Adhiyaksa family. We're brothers. It is not good if the enemies are continuous. That's why help me, Al. Make me at peace with the King."

Hearing Fendi's heartfelt plea, Alvian agreed.

"All right, I'll help you as much as I can."

"Thank you, Al. Then tomorrow after the office meet me at the La Vierra hotel bar. I happen to have a meeting with my client there. Let's meet and talk about this."

"Okay, I'll be there at about seven" Alvian said.
