The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 70 Meeting at the Party (Part 2)

Cleantha tried to get out slowly from inside the taxi so that the hemisphere of her dress was not wide open. She was really uncomfortable with Keyla's dress. Plus the long hair model that was deliberately styled to the side by the salon. Makes part of the neck of the line very clearly.

"Don't act like that, Clea. Walk with grace. In a moment we're going to get into the hotel ballroom" Keyla said.

"But, Brother, I feel that my appearance is too excessive as a receptionist."

"Who said? You look beautiful and more attractive. Look, the receptionist looked at you. Come on, let's get to the ballroom. You must get ready before the guests come."

Keyla pulls Cleantha's hand towards the hotel ballroom.

In front of the door has been installed a row of flower boards as congratulations to colleagues on the anniversary of Adhiyaksa Group.

Galih and Irna had already arrived first. They stood in the doorway, preparing to welcome the guests.

Not far from them standing, it was seen that Mr. Setyo and some other division managers were chatting. They wear suits, complete with ties and shiny black shoes.

All the employees wanted to perform as well as they could that night.

When Cleantha and Keyla came, their gazes all led to the two girls.

Galih's mouth until it gaped wide. He was amazed to see Cleantha's appearance.

"Clea, I stay inside huh. I want to find a seat in the middle" Keyla said walking into the ballroom.

Cleantha nodded. He walked over to his two friends, Galih and Irna.

"Mas Galih, Ms. Irna," said Cleantha.

"Eh, is this really Miss Cleantha? Where do I think the model is from? It's beautiful," praised Galih.

Irna patted Galih's shoulder hard.

"Hush, don't you dare tease Clea! Later if Mr. Alvian finds out, you can be fired from your job" threatened Irna to scare Galih.

"Oh, sorry, I'll keep my mouth shut" said Galih in fear.

Cleantha simply smiled as she shook her head. Until now, his office friends still consider him Alvian's lover. For a long time he had not met his boss.

"Why aren't our bosses here yet?" whispered Galih to Irna.

"Where do I know, any minute. Duh, my stomach is wrapped around. I go to the toilet first. Clea, please take over the guest book," said Irna thrusting her pen and guestbook into Cleantha's hands.

"Yes, Mommy."

Cleantha received the book and placed it on the table.

"Write your name in the guestbook to represent your father, Ayesha," a voice of a man Cleantha knew very well.

"Sir Alvian and his fiancee,"

inner Cleantha gasped.

Cleantha had to raise her head. He sees Alvian driving Ayesha to the reception desk.

Alvian looks more handsome with a black tuxedo suit, while Ayesha uses a long blue dress.

"Where should I write..."

Ayesha stopped her question as she looked at the face of the lady who was the receptionist. And so did Alvian.

The young lady behind the table was very pretty in her red dress. And he was Cleantha, his subordinate, as well as his former sister-in-law.

"Cleantha, why are you here? You're not accompanying the King?" ayesha was surprised.

"I'm the receptionist, Miss Ayesha."

Ayesha glanced at Alvian who was looking at Cleantha. His heart grew hotter, filled with the flames of jealousy. He immediately pulled Alvian away from the reception desk.

"Come, we're in, Al. Don't you have to see the guests?" ayesha said while holding Alvian's hand.

"I.iya," replied Alvian.

Alvian did not say a word to Cleantha. He just passed by following Ayesha into the ballroom.

While Galih gawked back to watch Alvian being held friendly by another girl.

Cleantha had yet to answer Galih's question, as a man in an old gray suit approached her.

The man was tall with dark brown hair. His face is handsome, European and Indonesian. From her elegant appearance, Cleantha guessed that the man was one of the young entrepreneurs, business relations Adhiyaksa Group. Yet for some reason, Cleantha did not like to see the way the man looked at her.

"Good night, miss, where should I write my name," the man asked in a heavy voice.

Cleantha felt that the man's eyes could not see her. Starting from the lips, neck, then down to the upper part of his body.

"In.here, Sir..."

"Natakusuma Evander. That's my name, miss," said the man introducing himself.

"This is Mr. Evander's questioner, please," said Cleantha in a respectful manner. He handed the silver pen to Evander.

But instead of taking the pen, Evander held Cleantha's hand tightly.

"What's your name, Miss?" asked Evander with a faint smile.

Evander's actions left Cleantha dumbfounded. The same was the case with Galih who was standing beside Cleantha.

"I'm Cleantha, sir. Could you please let go of my hand" Cleantha said, trying to remain polite.

Just then, the King and Zevira arrived at the hotel.

The king hurriedly walked ahead of Zevira.

"King, wait for me. My wheelchair can't keep pace with your walking speed" Zevira lamented.

"Then you don't have to go to this event" the king sighed in annoyance.

"I've come to preserve your corporate image and your good name, Raja. We should be seen as a harmonious and happy couple. That way the investors and business colleagues will trust you more."

The king did not heed Zevira's words. He walked towards the ballroom without looking back.

The employees who saw the arrival of the King nodded their heads respectfully. Some people also greeted him and said good night. Rarely do they have a golden opportunity to meet in person with the CEO of Adhiyaksa Group.

The king was about to go through the door, but he stopped because he saw Evander.

Evander is a former college friend and potential investor of his company. The man appeared to be talking intensely with a woman at the reception desk.

With quick steps, the King approached Evander to greet him.

"Evan, we can finally meet here" said the king patting his friend on the shoulder.

No doubt, the King saw Evander's hand was holding the hand of the reception woman.

Distraught by the King's arrival, Evander releases his hand from Cleantha.

"King" said Evander surprised.

The king shifted his eyes. He observed the woman in the red dress who was the receptionist on his show.

Although it had been separated, but the King very much recognized the face and curves of the woman's body before him.

"Cleantha,"

muttered the King in surprise staring at his ex-wife.

Cleantha immediately lowered her face, avoiding the sharp gaze that King Adhiyaksa had cast.

For a moment, the King was bewitched by Cleantha's dazzling appearance tonight. Plus the bright red dress she was wearing. It shows her flawless white skin, as well as her slender body shape.

But a few seconds later, his admiration turned into anger. He did not expect Cleantha to have changed. The girl was no longer as innocent and timid as when she was still his wife. But he even dared to look seductive.

It is only fair if Evander is tempted by Cleantha. Moreover, Evander is famous as a cassanova man since sitting in college. He will definitely seduce the woman he is after to be a date.

"Why are you changing now, Clea? Our divorce process is not over yet, but you've been trying to seduce other men. Are you deliberately looking like this to get the attention of men?"

the King felt jealous.
