The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 83 Misunderstanding

After Alvian's departure, the King became increasingly upset. He could not believe that his brother dared to threaten him. It even said it would plainly seize Cleantha if she did not cancel the divorce proceedings.

"Bad! Does Alvian mean what he says?"

muttered the King gripping his pen firmly.

"Surely he was just bluffing. He already had a fiancee, there was no way he could be together with Cleantha. And if I follow Alvian's words, he'll underestimate me. She won't respect me anymore as her brother."

The king opened the door of his room and stepped out.

"Dion, please transfer five hundred million into Cleantha's account. After that we went to the meeting."

Dion was stunned to hear the King's orders.

"Five hundred million, sir?"

"Yes, hurry up. Cleantha needs. Then get the HRD Manager to call Cleantha. Ask him to resign as soon as possible from the company" said the King.

Dion was again astonished by the instructions of this King.

"Master, are you sure you want to ask Miss Cleantha to resign? It used to be you who gave him a job in finance."

"My rule is clear. Do I need to repeat it, Dion? I'm going to finance the lives of Cleantha and her son. If he continues to be in this office, then he will be wracked with all sorts of untrue gossip."

Hearing the King already raise his voice, inevitably Dion complied. Without refuting any more, he did all that the King commanded.

The king walked back to his room while raising a call from Mr. Mateo.

"Good day, Lord King, I would like to inform you that Mrs Zevira's lawyer has just contacted me. Today Mrs Zevira has filed for divorce papers with you. He's also asking for custody of Ivyna."

The news from Mr. Mateo made the King angry.

The problem with Cleantha is not finished, now she has to face the next complicated problem.

"I'll give you the evidence of Zevira's affair. Please take care of everything, Mr. Mateo. Make sure Zevira loses in court" said the King.

"Sir, then what about your divorce proceedings and Miss Cleantha? Did you cancel it?" ask Mr. Mateo to make sure.

"No, just let the process go. If there is a verdict, call me immediately" said the King hung up the phone.

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

Gathering all her guts, Cleantha walked into the finance room. Hope no one will question why he suddenly nauseated.

Relieved when he saw his friends were busy working at their desks. Same with her sister, Keyla.

It seems that no one has brought up or cared about the events in the meeting room. Or maybe they deliberately pretend to forget so that the work atmosphere remains conducive.

Cleantha's headed to her desk. Turn on the computer and lean on the chair.

Before long, he sank again in the rush until a notification was sent on his phone.

Cleantha's eyes widened as she read the contents of the message from her Banking service.

Someone sent some money to his account. Most surprisingly, the sender is PT. Adhiyaksa Multifinance and nominal delivered so fantastic.

Cleantha recalculated the number of zeros listed behind the number five.

"Five hundred million rupiah, is this not wrong? Who sent me this much money? Did the Lord King do it?"

cleantha thought guessing.

Not to lose his surprise, the phone on Cleantha's desk rang.

"Sore, Clea," said Mr. Setyo through the intercom.

"Good afternoon, sir," Cleantha replied politely.

"Clea, I just got a call from Ms. Rosalia, HRD manager. He's calling you. Come immediately to his room" said Mr. Setyo.

"Well, sir, I'm going to see Rosalia's mother now" Cleantha replied.

Cleantha rushed out of the finance room. Heading into the elevator and pressing the number three button.

I don't know why a bad feeling filled his heart.

There is a reason until the HRD manager called him for no apparent reason.

"Tin." The clanking sound of the elevator made Cleantha wake up from her daydream.

His footsteps felt heavy to step into the HRD room.

After passing through the area where the HRD staff worked, Cleantha turned into a glass door. He remembered exactly where the manager was.

Cleantha knocked on the door twice before Miss Rosalia let her in.

"Please sit down, Cleantha," said Ms. Rosalia.

"Thank you, Mom."

Cleantha's face turned anxious.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Ms. Rosalia let out a long sigh before conveying bad news to Cleantha.

"Sorry, Cleantha. You are required to resign from the company. Tomorrow you can submit a letter of resignation to Mr. Setyo to be formally submitted to me" said Ms. Rosalia sounding concerned.

Cleantha's hope was shed instantly. The earth he was on seemed to collapse in just a matter of seconds.

All this time he still survived because he had a job that became a pillar of his life. But now his only hope has been mercilessly snatched away.

There's no other choice. He had to fight with all his might to fight the injustice that had befallen him.

"Mother Rosalia, what mistake did I make that I was forced to resign? As far as I know an employee must be given a Level one to three Warning Letter, before he is dismissed from his job. I never got SP at all, but suddenly I was forced to resign. I cannot accept this unilateral decision" Cleantha said.

"Cleantha, you did nothing wrong in your work. But this has to do with the issue of morality and work comfort."

"Actually I don't feel good saying this, but you're presumed to be pregnant. Therefore, the owner asked you to resign so as not to spread more rumors in the office," continued Miss Rosalia frankly.

Miss Rosalia's reply made Cleantha's chest rumble. It is clear who wants to fire him. Who else besides Alvian Adhiyaksa.

The finance division boss has forced her to admit her pregnancy. And now Alvian fired him for objecting to his condition.

"Okay, ma'am, thanks for the explanation. I understand what I have to do now."

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

Like a wounded bull, Cleantha desperately went to the ninth floor. He felt he had to sue Alvian to overturn the decision to fire him. As an employee, he deserves to fight for his rights.

"Miss Cleantha, what need did you come here for?" alvian's assistant asked surprised to see Cleantha.

"I'd like to see Mr. Alvian. Is he still in his room?" ask Cleantha.

"Yes, Miss. But Mr. Alvian is not in the mood to be disturbed. And soon he will be home."

"My needs cannot be delayed, sir. I have to talk to Mr. Alvian right now" Cleantha said.

"Wait, Miss. Miss can't just walk into the director's room if Mr. Alvian doesn't call Miss" exclaimed Alvian's assistant trying to prevent Cleantha.

But Cleantha did not care about the ban. He broke into the director's room.

Alvian, who was struggling with his laptop, immediately turned his eyes when he saw Cleantha's arrival.

"Clea, why are you here?" asked Alvian gasp.

"Sorry, Sir. I've already banned it, but..."

"That's it, just let it go" said Alvian telling his assistant to come out.

"Sir, why are you so mean to me?" cleantha asked with a trembling voice.

"Cruel? I don't understand what you mean?"

"The father knew I was pregnant and needed a job. But you deliberately forced me to resign even though I did nothing wrong. Are you afraid of being harassed by employees for impregnating me?"

Alvian scrunched his forehead.

"I never intended to fire you. Why are you talking like that?"

"Mothers don't have to pretend. Rosalia's mother just called me and told me to write a letter of resignation. He said it was an order from the owner."

"But I didn't order that."

Alvian was silent for a moment, he immediately remembered the King.

"Maybe King's brother asked you to resign. Because I was talking to him" said Alvian.

Hearing Alvian's confession, Cleantha was unable to contain herself.

There was enough pressure on him today, but Alvian made things worse.

"Has a matter of fact, Lord King sent five hundred million into my account. And now he fired me. He used his money and power to shut my mouth," asked Cleantha tearfully.

Whether due to her hormonal drive or her severely injured feelings, Cleantha vented her anger at Alvian.

"This is all because of the Father! I told you not to talk to Mr. King, but you didn't listen to me. Are you satisfied that you can add to my difficulties?" cleantha asked in tears.

"Clea, I never meant to hurt you" Alvian denied.

"I think you are different from the people around me. But it turned out that you were the same as them" said Cleantha turning her back about to walk away.

Unexpectedly Cleantha, Alvian suddenly chased after her and pulled her into her arms.

"Clea, don't cry. I'm sorry for bothering you. I will give you back your work and will not let you suffer again" Alvian said.
