The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 57 The Dangerous Trap (Part 2)

Next Day...

Cleantha entered work as usual, but today she felt a little lethargic. Like a battery, its energy is only fifty percent charged. He will not hear the voice of the king for the night.

Lately the sense of dependence on her husband is increasing. It is a very dangerous signal. What if the marriage to the king is over? Perhaps he will not have the energy to do any activity.

Cleantha sat down at her desk. Supporting his chin with one hand while looking at the pile of files before his eyes. Today Nurma is not allowed to enter work. It means he has to work extra hard without any guidance from his senior.

"I can't give up before I fight. Must be spirit, Clea. This job is your hope for the future. Don't over-think of something that isn't necessarily yours,"

inner Cleantha was encouraging herself.

"Mbak, why daydream? Miss her boyfriend again, huh? Mbak Clea's girlfriend will be on the ninth floor, later also met," said Galih surprised Cleantha.

"Eh, Mas Galih, I didn't know Mas was here. What's up?" cleantha asked embarrassedly, as Galih found her daydreaming during work hours.

"Oh, what if again drunk love is like this? People as big as me are invisible. Fortunately, I have not been in love. I'm here because I want to ask for petty cash, ma'am. I was told by Mr. Setyo to copy the tax documents and buy 6000 stamp for 50 pieces" Galih said.

Galih handed a piece of form paper to Cleantha.

"This form of money request has been signed Mr. Setyo, Ma'am."

"Yes, Mom, wait a minute. I'll get you a petty cash box" said Cleantha standing up from her chair.

While walking into the safe room, Cleantha tried to catch her breath. He should be professional at work. Must not mess up his duties for thinking about personal matters. Well, after this he will focus his full attention on his work.

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

Being preoccupied by various kinds of work, making Alvian forget time.

He had just seen his phone and saw the incoming message from Ayesha.

"Al, what time do you get home from the office? I'd like to take you to dinner at the Amore cafe, a romantic place,"

write Ayesha.

Alvian quickly typed out the answer.

"Sorry Ayesha, today I have an appointment with my brother. Tomorrow Saturday I will definitely accompany you to dinner at the cafe."

Before long, Ayesha sent a reply message.

"key, Algiers. Actually waiting for Saturday feels like a long time. Promise me, on Saturdays and Sundays all the time and all your thoughts are for me. I miss you so much,"

type Ayesha.

Alvian smiled reading Ayesha's message. Unexpectedly, his prospective fiancee was including an aggressive type of girl.

Honestly she prefers women who are gentle and a little shy, rather than those who actively flirt with men. Perhaps because of the many experiences approached by aggressive women during their time in London, it made him less interested in such a type.

Although he had lived abroad, he was actually a conservative man. It is more challenging to pursue women than to pursue women.

But whatever he wants to say, he must accept Ayesha with all her advantages and disadvantages.

Not long from the message Ayesha sent, Fendi contacted her.

"Al, it's five o'clock past thirty minutes. I'm just reminding you not to forget our promise. I'll buy you a drink today."

"Yes, I'll definitely see you. In about an hour I'll be out of the office" Alvian replied.

"Congratulations, Al. Hope you're not stuck in traffic" Fendi ended the call.

Alvian saw the clock on his phone. It is also true, he can get stuck if he does not leave immediately. Moreover, this is the hour of the office. He is also feeling sad because of the burden of work. There is no harm if he takes off the fatigue for a moment.

Alvian grabbed his phone and car keys, then walked out of the room.

"I'm going home first. Please lock my room" Alvian told his assistant.

"Good, sir."

Alvian's assistant seemed quite surprised to see his boss coming home sooner than usual.

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

Fendi glanced at his watch miserably. He hopes Alvian keeps his promise so that his neatly arranged plan does not fall apart.

As soon as he saw his cousin walking into the bar, a big smile immediately adorned Fendi's face.

His thumb pressed the send button on the message he had prepared earlier.

"Prepare, the bait is coming. Wait for my cue for the next step,"

write Fendi to his men.

"Al, how are you?" said Fendi hugging Alvian.

"I'm good. How about yourself?" ask Alvian.

"Outside I look fine, Al. But actually in my heart, I feel very broken. I was ashamed of myself" said Fendi, then sipped a drink from his glass.

"Because of my actions, Vira was paralyzed and threatened to be divorced by the King. I also heard some very surprising news. The king married another woman. He has a second wife who is very young, even younger than you. Is that true, Al?"

Alvian put his phone on the table.

"True, my brother did marry again."

"The king loved Vira very much, but why is she now remarried? I can imagine how hurt Zevira's heart is. Maybe the King also had a second marriage because he just wanted revenge. Their harmonious marriage, now spoiled for my sincerity," said Fendi.

Fendi continued his lie.

"Al, actually my relationship with Vira was short. I was the one who fell in love with Vira first and seduced her. It's not your brother-in-law's fault, it's my fault" Fendi said.

"An affair can only happen on the agreement of two parties. It can't be only wanted by one party," Alvian said.

"Trust me, Al. At first we both had no intention of cheating at all. We happen to have a project together. I was building a cafe and I asked Vira to design my new one. Vira's an interior design graduate, I believe in her ability. It was because of this project that we met often. Slowly grew a strange feeling in my heart for Vira. I'm trying to shake that feeling, but it's getting stronger."

Fendi again picked up his glass while rubbing his forehead.

"At that time the King went abroad for quite a long time. And I visited the king's house several times. Eventually, the shame happened. I kissed Vira because I couldn't hold back my feelings. That's when the king saw us, and then you must have known. I'm sure the King told you everything."

Fendi pulled his body forward.

"I'm sorry, Al. Love cannot be prevented, but my love has ruined my own marriage. Learn from my experience."

"What do you mean?" alvian asked not understanding.

"I mean you should not get too close to the King's second wife. Isn't he the same age as you? If you often travel with him or even work with him, it could be a long time you will fall in love with each other. Be carefull! Love can grow with togetherness. That's what I'm going through" said Fendi emphasizing his voice.

"I cannot do such a depraved deed" Alvian refused.

"Who said? You'll soon do it too,"

kekeh Fendi in the heart.

"Al, please arrange a meeting with the King so that I can apologize to him. And accompany me in that meeting. You can ease the tension between me and the King."

"But King's brother is on vacation to Japan" Alvian replied spontaneously.

"Then I'll see him after he gets back to Jakarta. I just want the marriage of King and Vira to be saved. I promise I'll never get close to Vira again. I have repented and will not repeat my mistakes" said Fendi in a heartfelt tone.

Seeing Fendi's earnestness, Alvian was moved to help him. He also wanted the King to be free from his revenge.

"Well, I'll try to talk to my brother."

"Thank you, Al. You are my best friend. Now let's drink. I drank myself, but you just kept quiet. Look I ordered a cocktail for you. The alcohol level is so low, it won't make you drunk."

Unsuspecting, Alvian picked up the drink that Fendi had offered.

While watching Alvian finish his drink, Fendi continued to invite him to talk incessantly. Until finally Fendi saw Alvian starting to drift.

"Al, what's wrong with you?"

"Suddenly my head was dizzy, Fen. My eyes are yellowing. Maybe I was drunk because I wasn't used to drinking alcohol" Alvian said holding his head.

"It shouldn't make you drunk. Or are you unwell, Al?" fendi said pretend.

"Yes, maybe I'm exhausted" said Alvian withstood the growing dizziness.

"Then just rest. I just happened to book a hotel room here. You can use my room to rest for a while."

Fendi immediately pulled Alvian into the room he had booked on the second floor.

While in the hotel room, Fendi helps Alvian lie down and take off his shoes. Alvian immediately fell asleep due to the influence of the drugs he was taking.

"Good, successful initial plan. Zevira must be happy. Now just call the woman here."

Fendi immediately contacted two of his men who were standing guard near the hotel.

"Iwan, get ready, I'll call Cleantha. As soon as the girl arrives in front of the hotel, arrest her immediately."

"Well, sir," replied Fendi's men.
