The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 72 The Jealousy of the Blind (Part 2)

Evander takes Cleantha to his desk.

"Sit here with me" said Evan pulling a chair for Cleantha.

"Thank you, Mister. Sorry, I'm looking for my sister. I can't be with you" Cleantha subtly refused.

"I don't like rejection, Miss. If I ask you to accompany me, then you should do it" Evander said, forcing Cleantha to sit with both hands.

Cleantha was confused as to what to do. The dominant aura emanating from Evander frightened him. He wanted to get away from the man as far as possible. But who could save him in such a crowded situation.

"Eat, Cleantha. Or you want to eat from the same plate as me. I'll feed you," said Evander, taking a spoonful of food off his plate.

"Don't, sir, I can eat by myself" Cleantha said, trying to stay away.

"Alright, I won't force it. But after the end of this show you should come with me. I'll take you somewhere fun. It's just the two of us" Evander said in a teasing voice.

From where he stood, the King could not help but stare at the movements of Cleantha and Evander.

His blood started to boil when he saw his playboy friend dare to touch Cleantha with his hand.

"I can't let this happen in front of my eyes. But I can't just leave Mr. William and Mr. Marcel behind. Cleantha's not my wife anymore, anyway,"

muttered the King restraining his anger.

The two senior businessmen, who were friends of his late father, never stopped inviting the King to discuss at length. So the King had trouble ending his conversation with them.

While not far from the King, Alvian also witnessed a sight that troubled his heart.

From Cleantha's body language, she felt the girl was uncomfortable with Evander's behavior. Especially when Evander tried to bring his face closer, as if he was about to kiss Cleantha's lips.

Alvian glanced at the King, hoping that his brother would take action. But the King was still busy conversing with Mr. William and Mr. Marcell.

"Why Brother King was silent to see Cleantha being harassed by Mr. Evander. I have to help Cleantha now."

Without a second thought, Alvian hurriedly left the group of businessmen.

He went straight to Evander's desk and grabbed Cleantha's hand.

Alvian's actions took Evander and Cleantha by surprise. So do the people around him.

"Mr Alvian?"

"Sorry, Mr. Evander, I'll take Cleantha with me."

"Oh, please. I saw Cleantha alone. That's why I took her to my table. Is Cleantha your partner, Mr Alvian?" asked Evander.

"Yes, Mr. Evander."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alvian. I didn't know Cleantha was your lover" Evander said apologetically.

"Clea, let's go now," Alvian took Cleantha by the hand.

For a moment Cleantha was astonished because Alvian claimed to be her lover. Perhaps Alvian did so so that Evander would no longer bother him. But his heart was so relieved. Finally he was freed from a scary guy like Evander.

Seeing Alvian holding Cleantha's hand, the King again burned with jealous flames. Cleantha has just been with Evander, now that his ex-wife is turning to her own sister.

"Alvian blatantly showed his relationship with Cleantha in public. He even dared to face Evan and did not care about his own fiancee. Are they officially dating?"

muttered the King clenched his hand.

Alvian led Cleantha through a crowd of invited guests and employees.

Seeing that the employees were talking to each other, so Zevira and Ayesha heard it.

"Sir Alvian seems to be getting serious with Cleantha. Just look at them holding hands at this event," said one marketing staff.

Ayesha's water turned pale. The outpouring of anger within him was soon about to explode, like a time bomb.

"What the fuck? I have to make Cleantha regret it right now" Ayesha said, filled with hatred.

Instantly he stood up, wanting to rebuke and vent his anger on Cleantha. But Zevira quickly prevents Ayesha's wishes.

"Ayesha, be patient. Don't act rashly. If you curse Cleantha, Alvian will definitely defend her. There are also a lot of people here, you will only be spectacle material."

"Then what should I do, Sister Vira? Should I let my future husband be taken by Cleantha?" dengus Ayesha was upset.

"Wait until Cleantha is alone, without Alvian. That's when you can teach her a lesson. You have to play pretty if you face a cheap woman like Cleantha."

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

"Sir, thank you for helping me. But better let go of my hand. I'm afraid that something will go wrong about our relationship" Cleantha said.

"Who are you worried about? What is King's Brother? Don't you want to get divorced from her?Why do you still care what he thinks of us?" alvian asked deliberately cornered Cleantha.

"No, Sir. What I mean is not Lord King but your fiancee, Miss Ayesha. What if he sees us?" cleantha said worriedly.

"I'm surprised at you, Clea. I'm not worried, why are you overreacting. Look, I don't care anymore about anyone else's views or accusations on me. I will do what I think is right and in accordance with my heart" Alvian replied.

"You must be looking for Keyla, right? It was in the fourth seat from the back. Hurry there," Alvian ordered, releasing his hand.

"Thank you, sir," Cleantha replied.

"Wait first. Next time don't wear an open, flashy dress. You'd be the target of a striped-nose man if your clothes were like this. Do you understand?" Alvian.

"I.iya, Sir. Thanks again. Excuse me," replied Cleantha rushing away.

He did not understand why Alvian looked angry and did not like the style of dress. But somehow he felt calm and safe if the man was beside him.

From her seat, Keyla could see Cleantha coming towards her.

"Clea, here!" call Keyla impatient.

"I guess you're still on duty up front. Why even be with Mr Alvian? I told you not to deal with the Adhiyaksa family anymore."

"I got a break, brother. There was one of the invited guests named Mr. Evander who tried to seduce me. Mr. Alvian came to help me and brought me here" Cleantha explained.

"Yes, just sit here. Don't stay away from me. Have you eaten?"

"My food was left on Mr. Evander's desk. But I don't want to eat anything, brother. Since then my stomach has been a bit nauseous" said Cleantha.

"You still have to eat, Clea. Especially after this you have to stand guard again in front. Sana, go get some food and come back here soon" Keyla said.

"Yes, sister," Cleantha answered obediently.

Cleantha stood up from her chair, walking alone towards the center of the ballroom.

That was when, Ayesha and Zevira saw an opportunity to humiliate Cleantha.

They did not realize that the King was approaching to look for Cleantha and Alvian. The king felt he had to warn his sister to keep ethics in front of the guests.

"Ayesha, do it now! Cleantha is alone" Zevira said.

As fast as lightning, Ayesha stepped towards Cleantha and followed her from behind.

With a loud bang, Ayesha stomped on the back of Cleantha's dress using her heels

Surprised and unprepared, Cleantha lost her balance and fell.

"Oh," cried Cleantha supporting her body with her hands before hitting the floor.

The back of Cleantha's dress was torn as a result of being attracted Ayesha heels.

"Taste you, Cleantha! So don't you dare bother Alvian anymore" Ayesha said, mocking Cleantha as she passed away.

The incident made Cleantha the center of attention. All eyes were now on him, as if he was a stage star.

Cleantha tried to stand up. He wanted to cry and escape the event. Especially looking at the condition of her dress that had been torn.

If possible, he wanted the earth to split right now and swallow him alive. Thus no one else would see his whereabouts.

"Clea, wakeup!" a voice called out to him.

Cleantha raised her head and looked at the face of the man who was now looking down in front of her.

The man reached out his hand and helped him to stand up.

The bright lights of the ballroom led him to recognize who his rescue angel was.

"Lord?" cleantha lirih.
