The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 82 The Challenge of Love

After spitting out her lunch, Cleantha felt her stomach start to be relieved.

He came out of the toilet and washed his face and hands in the sink.

"My condition has improved, I'm going back to the meeting room,"

inner Cleantha.

He walked out of the toilet. But on the way, he runs into Alvian.

"Sir, why is it here?" cleantha asked in surprise.

"Did you just vomit?" tanya Alvian looked at Cleantha's face.

"Yes, but I can continue the meeting. I'll be back now. You don't have to worry, I won't neglect my job" Cleantha said.

"No more meetings for today because I canceled them. Now come to my room, I want to ask you something important."

Alvian's words surprised Cleantha.

"Sorry, sir, if the meeting is canceled, I will return to the finance room. There's still a lot of work to do" Cleantha argued.

"This is my command as your superior. Come with me" said Alvian, pulling Cleantha's hand.

Alvian took Cleantha inside the elevator and pressed the number nine button.

Alvian had just let go of his hand when they had already arrived at the director's room.

"What do you want the real Father?" cleantha asked not understanding.

"Sit. Don't think I'll do anything to you. As your boss, I just want to make sure you're pregnant or not?" alvian asked sitting in his chair.

"I'm pregnant or not, what's important to you?" cleantha asked back.

"Of course it matters. If you are pregnant, your condition will weaken. For example, just like before, you suddenly nausea during a meeting. You will not be strong working all day with a lot of work that you have to do" explained Alvian.

"I am pregnant. But I still work hard. I'm nauseous only once in a while" Cleantha denied.

Alvian shook his head.

"Clea, you've already referred to King. Why else force yourself to work during your pregnancy. My brother is a CEO, he can meet all your needs. You better rest at home. I'm gonna talk to my brother about banning you from working again. He definitely wouldn't want his pregnant wife to be exhausted."

Cleantha's expression turned cold. He felt compelled to tell Alvian that his guess about the King was very wrong.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alvian, but I'm not referring to Mr. King. We agreed to separate. So I have to work for myself and my child-to-be" Cleantha said flatly.

"You're not referring to King? But why?" asked Alvian.

"That's because Mr. King wouldn't acknowledge the baby in my womb as his son. He thought I had done a forbidden deed with you the night of the entrapment. The Lord King regards me as a wife who has been tarnished. Is my explanation enough for you? If I have asked myself to return to the finance room," said Cleantha standing from her seat.

Alvian saw a flash of disappointment in Cleantha's eyes. However the girl tried to hide her sadness behind a mask of stubbornness. Moreover, she had to go through pregnancy alone.

Alvian was also surprised to see Cleantha's sharp and cold attitude change. Could it be that suffering had turned his originally gentle and innocent personality into a piece of rock.

"Clea, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to be so runyam like this. I thought you were happy with King. But don't worry. I'll go to the King's brother to explain everything. He must have understood and accepted you back as his wife" Alvian assured Cleantha.

Cleantha looked at Alvian with nothingness.

"Mr no need to apologize. And most importantly, I forbid the Father to explain to the Lord King. That's no use. Lord King does not love me and does not believe in my words."

"Had he accepted me because of what you said, he could one day throw me away again because of someone else's words. I hope you can understand. I beg you, sir," said Cleantha stepping away.

"Even if Cleantha forbids me, I still have to talk to the King. He cannot let his wife get pregnant. I don't know who else slandered me and Cleantha, so this misunderstanding continues,"

thought Alvian was clenching her hand.

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

Dion is shocked by Alvian's sudden arrival into the King's room.

"Dion, is my brother inside?" alvian asked looking impatient.

"Yes, Mr. Alvian. But, in thirty minutes Mr. King has an appointment outside with Mr. Zhang," Dion explained.

"No problem. I'll talk to him now" said Alvian opening the door of the King's room.

Inside, the King was signing some documents.

His eyebrows shot up, when he saw Alvian enter his room without permission.

"Good afternoon, Brother. Sorry I came suddenly. I need to clear up any misunderstandings regarding Cleantha," Alvian said sitting before the King.

"I have no interest in discussing personal matters in office hours" the King replied again focusing on the documents he held.

"Sister, I don't understand why you can't talk to Cleantha. Especially if she is pregnant. Does Brother not pity to see him suffer alone? The child in her womb is your child. I didn't touch Cleantha at all. I guess Big Brother already understood this, why now bring it up again?" lang Alvian tried to give an explanation.

"Oh, so you already know that Cleantha is pregnant. Did Cleantha complain to you? I'm not surprised because you guys are so familiar with each other" the king said.

"Cleantha vomited during the meeting, so everyone guessed she was pregnant. He became the subject of the staff. Cleantha is believed to be pregnant out of wedlock. Brother must save his reputation and announce that he is Brother's wife."

The king placed his pen aloud on the table. His face tightened upon hearing Alvian's words.

"Since when have you dared to set me up, Al? You slept with my wife, but now you're being rude. You've never been married. You don't understand how sick a husband feels if his wife is touched by another man. And I've experienced that betrayal twice."

"Sister, I fell asleep that night. How many times do I have to repeat it. I didn't touch your wife" Alvian repeated, starting to get emotional.

"I have three witnesses. Vira, Fendi, and Keyla. Fendi's been putting stimulants into your drink. Maybe you won't admit it in front of me, but I don't care about it. And as for Cleantha, I will transfer some money to her account to meet her needs. So he doesn't have to work anymore. Now get out of my room. I don't have time to listen to you" said the King coldly.

"Sister trusts the three hypocrites more than me and Cleantha? All this time I have greatly admired Brother as a smart, wise, and authoritative man. But I didn't expect Brother to be this weak when it comes to love."

Alvian stood up from his chair with a deep sense of disappointment.

"I have never been married. But at least I understand that women need the attention of their husbands, not just the money. Cleantha is fragile and needs the protection of a husband, but you can ignore her. Where is your conscience, brother? Isn't Cleantha the woman you love?"

"Enough, Al! Don't teach me about love. You don't know anything about my relationship with Cleantha. Get out of my room!" king's Decree.

"Alright, Brother. I'm gonna go. But don't regret it if I'll take your place to protect Cleantha."

The king widened his eyes hearing the threat from Alvian.

"What do you mean?"

"I've tried so many times to unite you with Cleantha. But it was Brother himself who wasted the opportunity. I'll give Brother one more chance. If in the next three days, Big Brother continues the divorce process, then I will act," said Alvian.

"And you need to know, I'm different from you. Once I decide to love a woman, I will never let go of her again" Alvian continued as he walked away from the King.
