They Say, I'm a Liar

You Pelakor!

“Heh, actor. All this time, if the service is out of town what is it with the Boss? A walk to the mall while holding hands huh?!”

“Child made a shield tuh, let the Boss captivated.”

“Smart once looking for a crack.”

“Dasual pelakor!”

The co-worker called herself the actor, completely making Qeiza in shock. Did they find out about her marriage to Ivander? Where do they know? How far do they know?

Qeiza is intimidated. A few pairs of eyes were looking at him cynically. They scorned. Qeiza was silent for a while before finally opening her voice.

“Please the pending report immediately sent to my email. Because Mr Ivan wants to check it out!” ketus Qeiza's. The woman chose not to respond to her co-workers.

“Feel above the clouds yes because Mr Ivan is starting to be tempted!”

Again, Qeiza did not reply to that remark. Qeiza exhaled a rough breath and just stared dislikefully at her colleague.

“Heh, Pelakor! Look, these seductive women like you, the edges will be thrown away. Especially by a man as perfect as Mr. Ivan. You're self-conscious dong. You don't have a fingernail to Miss Ev. Like heaven and hell! Heaven and earth! So don't be arrogant just so the CEO's mistress!”

“I'm not a mistress!” qeiza said as she stared intently one by one at the woman who intimidated her.

“Now, back to work. Do your duty. Don't just gossip and gossip. Or I'll report how you guys don't work!”

It felt like Qeiza wanted to run to her husband's study. To put everything he heard. He poured out his heartache on those who gossiped. But, Qeiza did not want to add to the burden of the mind of her husband or in-laws. After all, the in-laws have promised to announce their marriage to Ivander.

She's not a mistress. She was the legal wife of Ivander Bratajaya legally and religiously. He didn't take the man. The man's own wife gave up her husband. He was not an actor like the people accused him of.

Qeiza also tried to close her eyes and ears from every scorn she received.

From that day on, discordant voices continued to be heard wherever Qeiza stepped. Everyone was always whispering when they saw Qeiza.

Qeiza thought, once the marriage between herself and Ivander was announced, the scorn was never heard again.

She thought that her status as the wife of Ivander Bratajaya would make the staff stop gossiping about her.

Andreas makes a great celebration. The owner of Bratajaya Corporation showed how much he loved Qeiza and blessed the marriage. Even Evelyn repeatedly showed her warm attitude.

Doesn't that all indicate that he's so welcome to the Ivander family?

Doesn't that show that he's not an actor?

After all, Ivander's first wife was seen to bless their relationship. That means no one is captured and no one is taken. That title should no longer be heard. People should stop scolding him.

However, what Qeiza received made the woman inexhaustible. Why are those employees still mocking him?

“Dasual pelakor!”

“Tuh, the actor passed.”

“Awas, beware, there are actors!”

“In front of his attitude is pretentious! Looks like a fairy godmother, whereas in the back, sell crotch*n!”

“Aged Pak Andreas only, seduced! Especially Mr. Ivan who is still fresh. Widows don't know themselves!”

“Badah Mister Ivan and Bu Evelyn, really couple goals. Harmonious and always harmonious. Uh, come the seductress! Basic actor!”

That's how Bratajaya Corporation's staff. Now, whenever Qeiza walked past them such utterances were always heard.

Qeiza could only stroke her chest while breathing heavily every time she heard it. The woman did not expect to receive such social sanctions.

Was she wrong for choosing to be a second wife? Isn't this all happening with the blessing of all the parties concerned? Why then, do all those who are not related to them, judge?

***

That day, the day Evelyn came to Qeiza's old residence, Andreas contacted the woman. Evelyn's Gegas went there. Driving at top speed, Evelyn finally arrived at Andreas' residence twenty minutes later.

“Basic parents brengs3k! I know, this must be all your ideas, right? You arranged for Ivan to marry that s*alan woman while I was out of town!”

Andreas just looked at the son-in-law while shaking his head. This woman before him had absolutely no manners. Maybe he cursed the in-laws who had given him a luxurious life.

“Now tell me where Ivan is? Where is my husband?!”

“Why don't you just call her?”

“I know, your Ivan phone is holding right? If Ivan holds his own phone, there's no way my messages and phone calls would be ignored!”

Andreas laughed out loud. Evelyn may accuse her of holding the child's phone. Didn't realize the woman, if the husband did not want to be disturbed?

“Ivan is an adult. I don't need to keep the phone. If he doesn't answer your phone calls or messages, it means he doesn't want his honeymoon to be interrupted by anyone. Si-a-pa-pun! Ivan must have really enjoyed his honeymoon with Qeiza.”

“Bulshit!”

Andreas again heard Evelyn's words. The woman refused to believe that Ivander was enjoying his honeymoon. The woman is still full of shadows if Ivander loves her so much.

“As far as you want to think of my words as nonsense. Obviously, I asked you to come here, because there's one thing. I have prepared a festive celebration to welcome the new mistress to the Bratajaya family.

“I didn't just celebrate with the entire Bratajaya Corporation staff. I also invited some company colleagues and will introduce Qeiza to all of them.”

“What?! Is that true?! Why introduce the s*alan woman to everyone? Can big head him!”

“Qeiza Hikaru is already the legal wife of Ivander Bratajaya. She was also a Mistress in the Bratajaya clan. He deserves recognition.”

Evelyn's hand clenched tightly. The woman's face immediately turned red. Evelyn's wrathful!

“If you still want to enjoy my wealth by being the wife of an Ivander Bratajaya, I hope you can keep your attitude during the event. You understand what I mean, don't you?”

Evelyn just flinching. He knows he can't fight Andreas.

“I can easily separate you from Ivan. There will be people who continue to pay attention to your attitude during the event. I hope you understand the attitude. I don't need to explain what you should do, do I? I think a sly woman like you understands what you have to do.”

Because of Andreas' threat, inevitably, he was warm to Qeiza throughout the event. The woman even looked as if she loved Qeiza very much. Ivander, who was still not very understanding of Evelyn's cunning, could only thank her because Evelyn was so accepting of Qeiza. The man even promised to be fair to his two wives.

“I don't care if you spend a lot of time with Qei, Hon. I understand the habits of newlyweds.”

That's how an Evelyn understands it. The woman is willing in honey. Even willing to give the husband a chance to spend more time with his young wife. Such was Evelyn's image in everyone's eyes, right now. Including in Ivander's eyes.
