The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 71 The Jealousy of the Blind (Part 1)

"King, congratulations on your corporate anniversary" Evander said.

The king turned to look at Evander, pretending not to care about Cleantha.

"Thank you, Evan. Let's go inside" said the King, taking his friend away from Cleantha.

Seeing the King was about to leave, Cleantha nodded her head. At least as an employee, he must pay tribute to the owner of the company. Although his manners were not embraced by the King.

"Where's your wife?" ask Evander to look for Zevira's whereabouts.

From the front, Zevira came with her wheelchair. Seeing the King talking to Evander, he asked Bi Dewi to push his wheelchair in order to join them.

But Zevira suddenly stopped when his gaze was accidentally directed to the reception desk. He caught the figure of the girl in the red dress who looked the most striking among his friends.

"Isn't that Cleantha? I forgot that he worked in the King's office. Did she purposely dress up like that for the King to be interested in her and then annul their divorce? I must prevent him from approaching the King tonight,"

thought Zevira as she passed towards the King.

"Evan, do you still remember me?" zevira asked showing off her best smile.

"Of course, Vira. You're still as beautiful as you used to be when we were in college" Evander said.

"But now my situation has changed. I can't walk anymore because I've had an accident."

"Ah, that's no problem. I'm sure you'll be healed. There is a king who loves you. He must have given you his full spirit and support for your recovery. Isn't that right, King?"

The king only smiled wryly without saying Evander's words.

"Evan, why didn't you bring your girlfriend here?" tanya Zevira saw the man coming without a partner.

"Now I don't have a boyfriend, Vira. But soon I'll have it because I've met my future girlfriend" Evander grinned.

I don't know why the joke from Evander made the King feel upset. He believes that Evander just meant Cleantha.

"We better get inside. The show is about to begin" said the King to invite Evander to follow him.

At the reception desk, Cleantha returned to her duties. Trying to ignore her meeting with her husband's manta. He also saw Zevira coming after the King. It means that the husband and wife have returned. Thus, the decision he made was right. Through his divorce, he managed to reunite the King and Zevira's household.

"Clea, I'm sorry I went to the toilet for so long" said Irna, taking over the guest book.

"The way has started, Mbak Irna just came. Tuh, listen to yourself, the MC started talking on stage" Galih said.

From the door, Cleantha could hear the voice of the MC calling out to the King as CEO to give a word of welcome.

This time, Cleantha felt lucky for not needing to be inside the room. That way, he did not have to witness the King and his family directly.

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

From a distance, Zevira sees Ayesha. The girl sat alone with a sour face as Alvian was busy welcoming her colleagues.

"*I*it must be Ayesha. Looks like the girl can be invited to work together. I'll go up to him and befriend him. Who knows, someday he'll be useful to me,"

thought Zevira was looking for allies.

"Hello, Ayesha. It was nice to meet you on this show. I am Zevira, the King's wife," said Zevira extending her hand.

With an expression full of probing, Ayesha looked at the condition of Zevira who was sitting on a wheelchair.

He recalled Alvian's story that the King's first wife was in a crippled condition. Perhaps this was a good time for him to pry out a description of Cleantha from Zevira.

"Hello, Mrs Vira. I'm Ayesha, Alvian's fiancee. I'm also glad to meet you."

"Don't be too formal, Ayesha. You can call me "Sir Vira". Later after you marry Alvian, you will call me that."

"Yes, Brother Vira. Sorry, can I ask you something? But this is personal in nature," said Ayesha a bit hesitant.

"Of course I can. You will be part of the Adhiyaksa family. What do you want to ask, Ayesha?"

"I've met Mr. King and his wife at a restaurant. The Lord King's wife back then was a girl of my age, her name was Cleantha. Alvian said Cleantha was his second wife Lord King. But why did I see Cleantha being the guest recipient?" ask Ayesha to find out.

Zevira raised her eyebrows. He can catch the expression of dislike on Ayesha's face when talking about Cleantha. And he would not waste this opportunity.

Zevira immediately changed the water on her face. Acts sad to draw sympathy from his sister-in-law.

"Yes, Ayesha. My husband has two wives. Because my condition is flawed, the King remarried to a younger woman."

"Cleantha is very clever at seducing. He won my husband's heart. Fortunately, Cleantha's true nature was exposed by the King. He was found out to have had an affair and now the King has divorced him" Zevira said.

Hearing that Cleantha had been divorced, Ayesha grew increasingly wary. If the woman had held the status of a widow, then her chance to seduce Alvian would be wide open.

"Divorce??? But who was she having an affair with, Sister Vira?" ayesha asked surprised and curious.

"I'm not happy to say this. But I think you need to know the truth. Cleantha.he tried to seduce Alvian" said Zevira to heat up Ayesha.

Paras Ayesha turned a dead red. He squeezed his fingers, holding back the anger that was building up in his chest.

His suspicions have been proven to be true. Cleantha had an affair with Alvian. And it was this fact that made Alvian so cold to him.

Seeing Ayesha's angry response, Zevira is more and more eager to fan the flames of hatred in the girl's heart.

"I also don't understand why Cleantha was that big. He took my husband and now he wants to take your fiancee. Too bad, I can't do anything to prevent it" Zevira said.

"Just calm down, Sister Vira. I'll teach Cleantha a lesson on this show. He has to stop teasing men who already have a partner" Ayesha said grumpily.

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

Outside, Mr. Setyo met his three men at the reception desk.

"Galih, Clea, Irna, you can take turns going inside to eat. One person eats first. Then when it's finished you can take turns to keep the guest table," said Mr. Setyo.

"Sir, let the girls go in first to eat. I'll just wait here" replied Galih.

"Huh, are you sure, Galih? Are you hungry yet?" irna asked surprised by Galih's kindness.

"Yes, Mother. I am a real man. It will always come first for women."

"Thanks then. Come on, Clea, let's eat," Irna took Cleantha's hand into the room.

"Oh, the chair is full. Though my feet ache because I have to stand since," said Irna look panicked.

"We take food first, ma'am. After that, just find a seat. If there isn't, we'll just stand by" Cleantha replied, calming Irna down.

"OK on."

Cleantha and Irna headed to the queue of the guests who were taking food at the buffet table.

When they finished, they brought dishes filled with food while looking around.

"Clea, we just split up to find an empty seat" Irna said.

"Yes, Mother. I'll also look for my sister."

"I'm going over there, who knows there's a chair. We will meet at the front door, Clea, ", said Irna before stepping away.

After Irna leaves, Cleantha tries to find Keyla. But the frenzied atmosphere around her made it difficult for Cleantha to find Keyla. Moreover, he must walk carefully so that the hemisphere of his dress is not wide open on the thigh.

In a confused state, Cleantha suddenly felt her waist being grabbed by the hand of a man.

Cleantha turned her head back and gasped to see Evander already standing attached behind her.

Without permission, the man wrapped his right hand around Cleantha's slender waist.

"Mr Evander?"

"We meet again, Cleantha. I saw you walking alone and confused. Are you looking for a seat?"

"I.iya, Sir. But please let me go" Cleantha pinta.

"I hugged you because I wanted to lead you to my desk. I was given a special table and chair as an honored guest at this event. Come on, come with me" said Evander, forcing Cleantha.

Because Evander's hand was so sturdy, Cleantha couldn't break away from the man. Inevitably he follows Evander to his desk.

At that time, Cleantha passed by a group of businessmen who were talking to the King and Alvian.

They turned their heads because they saw Evander walking while hugging a girl.

"Well, Evander's getting a girlfriend fast" chirped one of the young businessmen who knew the man.

No doubt, the King and Alvian looked at the same time.

Their irises widened when they saw who the woman was being hugged by Evander.

"Cleantha?" muttered King and Alvian gasped.
