"Come on dad, let Ara intern here, will you?" whinek Ara umpteenth time


Harris


peeking at the base of his nose. The headache had heard the whining


his daughter who insisted wanted to intern at his company. Though it is clear


Harris refused Ara's request. But the girl insisted.


"Once daddy says no, yeah still no. Your husband's company is much bigger, you better intern there,"


"No! Ara doesn't want to,"


"Why? Does he not allow you too?"


"Bu—not unlicensed. Well... Ara don't want to,"


"If so daddy can't either,"


"Which Daddy could be. Ara is daddy's daughter, daddy's responsibility"


"No already. After you're married, you're your husband's responsibility,"


"Daddy evil ihh—" Ara whined while stomping her legs irritated


"Omaigattt


dekk! Could collapse later this building, "scorch


Alex just showed up from behind the door. As usual, the tone


his voice is always dramatic. I want Ara to throw her sister


with the book he had held since, but was undone when he saw


the man next to him. Ellard's?


"Bodo!" grunting Ara pursed her lips as she sat back on the sofa of the room.


"Ck, it hasn't changed at all" Alex said


"You two sit down first" Harris said


Alex


and Ellard stepped in. Alex sits on the single couch, face to face


with hisfather. Ellard took his place next to his wife


who is still pouting.


"How to work with Mr. Douglas's? you guys got it?" ask Harris


"Initially


old Bangka was able to refuse, but as soon as he saw the arrival of your son-in-law


he changed to agree. Ck, you little sycophant" Alex decih still


upset at Mr.'s refusal. Douglas against all cooperation offers


given it. Before finally changing his decision after


the arrival of Ellard, the ruler of the business empire. Especially at that time


Ellard introduced herself as the daughter-in-law of the Louis family.


"Alex language" Harris said


"That's a fact dad,"


"already


don't remember it again. The important thing is that this collaboration is intertwined. And Ellard, uh,


thank you for helping to convince Mr. Douglas," Harris smiled


warm to his daughter-in-law who had just been silent to hear.


"That's nothing dad. I'm happy to help my own family" Ellard replied no less kindly


"But by the way, why is our boboho face bent? Ellard don't give you rations huh" chirped Alex grazing naughty


Ara


glare at his eyes. Getting ready this time will throw the book


he held it but again failed because Ellard first banned


his hands and raised his glare until he made himself


shriveling.


Seeing that Alex broke out.


"Rasain lu deck. Durhaka


same brother. So it's the same husband himself right, hahaha" Alex laughed in satisfaction


because his sister could not strike back at him as usual


"Alex—" press Harris


"Yes yes ahh," Alex tried to suppress his laughter


"Why are you here?" this time Ellard spoke. Asked directly to Ara whose hand was still blocked.


"miss


daddy. So play here, "let Ara turn her face away. Himself still


annoyed at her husband. Since Ellard was cold, it was not


clearly with him, the man seemed to avoid him for these three days.


Ellard raised his eyebrows. Not satisfied with his wife's answer.


"She


come get an internship here. But daddy didn't love you," Harris said "Daddy


tell me he'd better intern at your company. So that you can


near continue. But your wife refused"


Ellard was silent for a moment.


Staring long into his wife's bead. He knows why his wife is


no internship at his company. Probably again because I don't want to


their status is known.


"Yes the deck, really cool. Others have been struggling to get into Miller's Corporation.


A giant company that until now has no competition. They


those who want to enter there must also follow several selection tests


so tight. Well, you deck stay in. No need to bother coming


selection. Kan, the owner of your own husband," said Alex at length


"That's why I don't want to be in the spotlight. Let me intern here aj—"


"You


I'll intern at my place. No rejection," Ellard cut into the spotlight


sharpest. The man's jaw was slightly hardened. His gaze was not even a second


switching from Ara who was immediately silent.


****


Ara


staring at the clock on his phone. It's midnight, but it looks like Ellard


I am still in his office on the second floor. One


level under their bedroom.


After the company


her in-laws, Ellard immediately brought Ara back to their mansion.


The two are still in a state of silence for each other. There's no one


intending to start a conversation. Even when he reached the mansion, Ellard


he got out of the car without waiting for his wife. Walk through


his study room and shut himself in there until this late.


Ara


resting his long hair with his five fingers back. Sighs


tired of Ellard's suddenly cold attitude towards her. Ara is not


the psychic who could figure out the cause of Ellard silenced him like this. That guy


not opening his mouth at all. It's even been three days.


Her husband had always been warm, relaxed and silly. And


it made Ara feel very comfortable.


Ara remembered the last


the times Ellard's attitude changed began after to their return from


airport, when the departure of Axcel Leonard.


Waita... The airport??


Eye


Ara rounded when remembering the series of events at the airport. He remembered


how excessive his behavior at that time when parting with


Leos. He cried, hugged tightly and almost chased Leo even in the moment


he was already in Ellard's arms.


Ara swallowed her saliva roughly. Don't tell me her husband is angry? jealous? because of his absurd behavior yesterday.


"Not slept?"


"Ehh?" Ara squinted at the sound of the baritone.


Ellards


open his white shirt to display his muscular body. Stare


back at Ara who was also staring at him did not blink.


"Sleep.


Tomorrow you'll start your first day of internships. I don't tolerate


workers who are late due to wake up late tomorrow," Ellard said


entering the bathroom cleanses the body.


Is he not angry?


15 Minutes later


Ellards


come out wearing only material pants without tops. As usual


he prefers to sleep bare-chested. Ellard frowned staring


his wife moved on the bed looking for a position


snugly.


His long legs instantly sevened the bed and broke down


his body sideways looked at the body of Ara who was turning her back. Ck, he


I don't like sleeping on my back like this. And without cues in one


his hand pulled Ara's waist until the girl slept facing


himself.


Ara who was unable to sleep immediately screeched


with that powerful pull. His eyes glared in annoyance at Ellard


looking at him without sin. Even with his feet


wrapped around Ara's leg, locking her up so she couldn't stay away.


"Ellard— I can't breathe like this" complained Ara trying to remove Ellard's entanglement.


"Need artificial breath?" Ask the sarcasm


Ck, the bad mood is back again


"Forget it," Ara snorted. But his heart was soft because his silly man had returned.


"But unfortunately I will still do it,"


Seconds


after saying that Ellard fused his lips together. Attractively


fully lips his wife.******* and sip lips already three


today he did not touch. Even intentionally biting her lips


under Ara to make the girl open her mouth groaning.


The opportunity was not missed. Ellard stuffed her tongue teasingly


his wife's tongue, divansing the whole and exchanging saliva.


Ellards


just let go of their link after it was felt Ara almost lost


air supply. Ellard fused their eyebrows. His thumb rubbed


the rest of Saliva was taken by his wife.


"You're a bitch baby-," sizzled


Ellard. Ara stared at the iris firmly before her, her breathing still panting.


Waiting for the next words that come out of her husband. Maybe this is it


it's time Ellard would tell the story.


"How dare you cry


even hugging another man in front of me. You're my wife. Mine.


No one can dare touch you but me. You know dear—


I almost killed the man who hugged you,"


Ara freeze. Ellard's thumb moved gently rubbing Ara's smooth cheeks.


"Towers


I forgive you, baby. Make sure that yesterday's thing doesn't happen again


revert. And if it happens again, I don't guarantee what crazy thing


iwill. Know dear— I'm a selfish man. Mine can't


touched by anyone. Understand baby?" ellard's low voice laden will


menaces.


Ara is unable to speak. Just a slow nod in response. He knew now why the man's attitude had changed. Ellard jealous.


"And


one more..." Ellard hanged his words.****** lip back


swollen Ara then "Dispose of your love for that Leonard, I'm so


hate it baby,"


The deg!


So Ellard's known all this time about Leo? Since when?


"I'm your husband. Loved me. Not another man. Just me! Promise me you'll learn to love me,"


"El—"


"Sttts... It's an order, baby, you can't refuse,"


Ara's teary eyes stared at the sharp iris that Ara knew contained within the wound. Oh my God, what he's done. All this time she was only concerned about her feelings without caring about her status which had now turned into a wife.


"I'm sorry—" her tears fell. Unable to bear it, Ara buried her face in Ellard's field. Hugged that sturdy body tightly.


"Give me some time. I'll learn to do it-" Ara continued rasping.


Feelings


warmly enveloped Ellard's heart upon hearing his wife's expression.


At least his wife was willing to learn to accept him. Ellard smiled


reciprocating hugging his wife tighter and peeping darling head-top


Ara.

or Rp1,036 Trillion, it can be concluded that IE is one of the


giant companies in the world, which have tremendous influence.


Mouths


Ara read the profile of her husband's company. In any case


not expecting before that the man entered the ranks


the number two young business person in the world. No wonder I remember how


busy with her husband. Now he is in his cubicle exactly


revised finance. His job is to help the company's assistant financial manager


those. Before starting her task, Ara was told to study the data


the big company first. Don't ask why he can


easily placed in this section, all because the owner himself


placed it. No one knows the relationship between the two in the company


except the financial manager.


PRAKKS


Ara was aghast at the sound of the documents being thrown strongly on her desk.


“Hei


fat, quickly put this report back together. Make sure there are none


the wrong number. If it doesn't run out of you,” Emma's word is haughty. Him


was Ara's assistant manager during her internship there.


Ara stared at the horror of the pile of documents in front of her.


“Se-as many— is this?” asked Ara surprised


“itu


still slightly. Your job is just to reorder. And make sure of this report


it must be finished today, because this report will be brought in


board meeting tomorrow. Understand?”


Ara swallowed her saliva. “Yes, understand,” his mouth nods slowly


“Good. Happy work,” Emma breezed away with her leisure.


Actually


reordering the report is his job. But considering now he


having subordinates, Emma casually threw the task at the clerk


internships. After all, the girl was under her power whenever she could


riddled. Emma also has a slight dislike for girls


that fatty. Just imagine he's just an apprentice, but can occupy


a financial revision that is obviously very difficult to get this part.


Even he had to fight desperately to defeat thousands of applicants


to get to this position. Emma screeched cynically looking at Ara's back


he started his new job before stepping back


relax in the cubicle.


****


“Hahh.. finally done too,”


Ara breathed a sigh of relief. Scrunching his sore body due to almost a day sitting in front of the pc.


Kriuukkk…


Sounding


it came from his stomach. Again his hand pressed against his stomach


it has been rumbling because it has not been filled since. Ara ignored him


want to finish the job immediately. Exactly eight o'clock at night,


he just finished. The office is full. Just stay him.


While other employees have gone home since then, including his senior


Emma. Cih, even though he was only an apprentice, but his job was already


more than permanent employees in this company.


Ara hurried


clean the table and then go out. His stomach no longer


it can be tolerated again. Come on, he's never this slow


the meal. Even the worms in his stomach never starve


the slightest. The worms will ask to be filled every two hours. Haven't


again his mouth that will not stop chewing various snacks.


And all day he hasn't even put any food in


her mouth. It's the biggest record of his life.


Ara accelerate


his steps were impatient at how much food he would eat


later. But his steps instantly stopped just as he had come out


from the entrance.


DEG!


Ara stared at the pair of figures


who was not far from him stood up. Legs frozen. Ara can't


explain what he is feeling. He just felt he couldn't


breathing, so tight. When the pair of humans kissed. Hand


the girl embraces the man's neck and tiptoes align the position


their height. The girl deepened her kiss and the response


the man just silently accepted. He shouldn't have seen the sights


whatever now broke his heart. But his legs feel


nailed, saw their lips blending together.


The girl was Clarissa and the man she was kissing was Ellard, her husband.


Ara


shakes in disbelief. Are the two not friendly? Then if


why do you kiss like a lover? Ara vibrates.


Really, Ara's eyes are hot right now. His body should not


respond as well as this. Doesn't he have more feelings


to that husband? Why does it feel so painful now.
