The Workaholic Wife

Chapter 1 - First Request

The Dining Room

In a dining room there was the sound of clanking spoons and forks clashing against each other. The couple sat facing each other while enjoying dinner in silence.

"sister Alex, I want to ask you something." His wife Intan broke the silence.

The husband, Alexander Graham, seemed surprised, this was the first time his wife asked for something. Because for two years of marriage he never asked for any material needs his wife fulfilled and the wife only at home very rarely out of the house.

"say!" alexander

"Can the warehouse next to the park be for me. Ma I mean for my private room." Diamond replied nervously, as he was confused how to explain it.

Alexander seemed surprised, why his wife asked for a warehouse, why not ask to be made room why should the warehouse?"All right do as you please."

"thank you brother."Intan said with a happy smile.

Again Alexander was surprised, it turned out his wife could express like that."Is there any more?"alexander asked curiously.

"Can I ask for money? Me, I want to buy something. But I don't have any money."Intan said while biting her lower lip she felt bad. Although for two years he was married without being given money, all his needs had been fulfilled even more. But all this time the diamonds were only given in the form of goods.

Alexander was again surprised, "Didn't I have given you a black card? you can use that!" Alexander knew that diamond had never used the black card he gave.

"I can't use her sister. I don't know how. I prefer cash. I'll give you back the card. And. .." Intan stopped his words for a moment and lowered his hands that were on the table now turned to squeezing his clothes to channel his nervousness.

"And what? say it!"Alexander was impatient.

"And and can you give me a monthly living in cash."Intan replied while bowing her head. Intan knew all this time he had never fulfilled the obligation to serve the husband as a wife inwardly. There was a real sense that he did not deserve to earn a living materially. But how else would he need cash. Normal female diamonds that require entertainment such as shopping.

"What?! hahaahhh." Alexander breathed out violently, "Don't you tell me how much money you need? and how much money do you want?"

"I, I need to renovate the warehouse and some supplies. Probably about 10 jt. Ta but brother do not need to give everything also not papa 5jt also not papa. I can gradually renovate it. For the monthly money I ask for 2jt only. Ta but it's 1 jt or 500 thousand also not papa sak."Obviously Intan while glancing at her husband who looked upset.

Alexander quietly held back his annoyance for some reason he felt belittled. But unlike Intan who realized the annoyance of the look on Alex's face, she thought down to her husband's regret because she asked for too much money even though she herself did not fulfill the obligation to serve her husband inwardly.

"But brother if for example the money is too tires,,,,".

"okay okay, okay later you just send me your account number let me transfer. And for the black card you save aja. who knows later klu money give me less you can use it." Alexander replied with an annoyed tone while leaving the dining table.

The Main Room

"what exactly is it that intan underestimated me? does he think I'm short of money? for two years did she not know who she was married to? jeez Arrrggghh." muttered Alexander as he threw his body in bed.

He was not out of thought with his wife, but two years more married this is their longest communication.so far they only say a few words as necessary. Because basically their marriage was only because of the matchmaking of Alexander's grandfather, Stefano Graham. Although their marriage was only a matchmaking but they valued each other.

Alexander who is a workaholic does not know what love is, not even a girlfriend he has. For him, work is everything. Unlike other successful entrepreneurs who are even out there. He's just a job and a job.

Stefano Graham's grandfather was troubled by Alexander's fear that Alexander would not soon marry Graham's bloodline would be cut off. But Grandpa Stefano Graham did not want to choose his son-in-law's granddaughter. He still wants a good woman, good morals and the choice fell on Intan Nur Anggraeni.

Intan is the only daughter of Aldo, Grandpa Stefano's confidant. But unfortunately when diamond was 10 years old Aldo and Stefano Grandma's wife Dahlia had an accident. The incident happened when Aldo was going to queue Grandma Dahlia to Grandma Dahlia's friend's house.

Stefano's grandfather who knew Intan grew up to be a good girl even without the affection of a father, he patiently hoped that Diamond would become his daughter-in-law's granddaughter.

When the grandfather offered Alexander an arranged marriage, he did not mind, as long as he was not a complicated woman. And diamond is the woman who entered his criteria.

Although their marriage is without basis of love, they always appreciate and respect. perform their respective roles as a married couple but not in the affairs of ran jang.

Alexander who was lulled with his thoughts while lying down was long asleep.

ceklek (assume door😁 sound)

Intan went into the room she saw on the bed her husband was sleeping soundly while lying down. Intan also approached with a heart she confirmed the position of her husband's legs and hands, then enveloped the husband.

Intan went to the bathroom to do a night routine such as washing your face and brushing your teeth. And then she caught up with her husband lying on the bed.

Intan lay down to face her husband."When else can I look at you this close brother if brother doesn't sleep? handsome but jutek." muttered Intan with a smile. Almost every night before Intan fell asleep one of her nightly routines was to stare at her husband's handsome face.

During the two years of marriage Intan also never demanded to be loved or attention Alexander. She really did carry out her role as a wife.

However, it would be a lie if diamond did not fall in love with Alexander. Although Alexander is always busy in the office, indifferent, and seemingly uncaring he always behaves well with Intan. And Alexander really appreciated Intan unlike the story in the novel because of the matchmaking he was treated harshly.

These are all my first physical works. Don't forget the criticism and advice!😉😉😉
