"Come on, Zhie," said Anatasia, who had picked Zhie up tonight.
Zhie got into the car and smiled. "So Jeyra really came back today?"
"Yes Zhie, Jeyra came back and went straight to the place, so we're going there now," Anatasia said.
Tonight there was a reunion, not just of classmates. It was an organization of friends from high school.
Zhie and Anatasia immediately entered the place, Zhie was shy because she saw the place, not to mention that she didn't ask Arsean for permission, yes, because of course it wouldn't matter, so why tell her.
When they entered, they were immediately greeted by Jeyra who screamed, it was typical that her best friend had a loud voice.
"OMG MY BEST FRIENDS! AHH I MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Jeyra's voice called out to her two best friends and hugged Zhie and Ana.
Zhie laughed and returned Jeyra's hug and Ana did the same.
"Are you too busy working overseas, Jey?" asked Zhie.
"Gosh Zhie, I just finished volunteering in countries for a while. Now I'm going to settle down and be with you again, ah-iya! The king is coming home with me, too," Jeyra whispered happily.
"Huh? Who?" asked Zhie when he couldn't hear Jeyra's whispering voice.
"Hi Zhie! Long time no see."
Zhie stiffened as soon as she heard the voice, it was very familiar to her. It was Raja's voice.
The man who was the student council president at the school and Zhie's boyfriend at the time was automatically Zhie's ex.
"Raja?" Zhie stammered and turned around.
"Yes, why Zhie?" Raja asked, raising an eyebrow.
Zhie scratched his itchy forehead and smiled hesitantly, they broke up because Zhie chose to marry Arsean and hurt Raja. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and of course Zhie felt a sense of unease.
Zhie realized and even remembered his mistake. Zhie was wrong, he thought that the king hated him after the incident where Zhie forced a separation.
Because he was too hurt at that time, Raja finally decided to go abroad to continue his studies and to participate in various volunteer activities in disaster-stricken countries.
"Raja?!" called Ana, who had just returned from greeting her friends.
"Yes, how are you, Anatasia?" Raja asked.
"Getting better, my goodness, why do you get older and better looking?" teased Ana.
"Let's gather, the event can begin." Jeyra interrupted her best friend.
Meanwhile, in a VIP room on the second floor, a meeting was being held and business was being discussed.
Arsean and Dimas were seriously discussing the procedures for investing in this rapidly growing company, but Dimas' cell phone vibrated, of course he immediately looked at the contents of the message.
"Alright, that's all we discussed today, according to the terms I will of course not change the agreement. I believe you will keep your word," Arsean said.
"Of course, President Arsean, I assure you that you will not be disappointed with the performance of our company. Let's have a toast." Alexander was the CEO of the Xander Company.
Dimas felt like he could say something, so he put his lips to Arsean's ear and said, "Boss, Rudi said that Madame is not at home. Aunt Ina also said that Madame had a meeting with an old friend from Madame's high school."
"You search and investigate, I have to bring her to the big house tonight. Mama is expecting her." Arsean ordered.
"Alright." Dimas said and went out to call the bodyguard, but he decided not to because he wanted to get something from the car.
Dimas got off the elevator and walked out leisurely until his steps were stopped when his eyes fell on a group of people at the end of the bar with a large round table. There was his master's wife, laughing with her friends.
"Mrs. Zhie?" he said quietly as he looked closely.
He stepped out of the elevator and walked casually until his eyes fell on a group of people at the end of the bar with a large round table. His master's wife was chatting and even laughing with her friends.
"Is that really Mrs. Zhie?" said Dimas as he watched closely.
It didn't take long for the man to decide to call his boss and inform him of his wife's whereabouts.
Dimas stayed here, waiting to see what orders Arsean would give him.
Zhie herself ate, chatted from time to time, and even laughed when her friends told her about their funny experiences.
Zhie felt uncomfortable because she had the feeling that there was a gaze staring at her, even Zhie was quite sensitive when the one staring at her was Raja.
"So now it's Zhie's turn, what are your activities as Mrs. Adinata? Oh yes, it will definitely be very busy, right?" asked Raja, even this man's look seemed to be intimidating.
It wasn't just Zhie who immediately looked back at Raja, the others also looked at Raja. There were only twenty people here, and all of them were former high school student council members.
"Yes, Raja is right, being the wife of a world famous business mistress. She must be very proud, right Zhie?" said Aidan, slightly hinting at Zhie, the man felt something strange about his friend.
"Heh, what is there to be proud of? What kal..." Anastasia's words were cut off as Zhie stepped on her foot, yes, Anastasia was actually sitting next to her.
"As Arsean's wife, my work is not just to loaf around, but I also work in the company, yes, starting from scratch of course... because you know I studied fashion mixing, so it's impossible if my position is immediately high, considering this is the business world. So according to our agreement, none of the employees know that I'm the wife of the president director. I'm afraid I won't be able to study freely, and people will talk nonsense. Zhie explained very casually.
Lying? That's what Zhie could do now, it was impossible for her to tell the truth. Even though Arsean had never been nice to her, it didn't mean that Zhie would just reveal everything about their household.
"Wow, how great our Zhie is! He's always been humble and smart, back when we were at the same university, he was always kind and not arrogant, even though he got a lot of awards." Farrel praised her and Zhie just replied with a smile.
"There's nothing to be proud of, we're all the same, right? Here we have to be good people." Zhie explained.
"But I'm sorry in advance Zhie, just to be sure, I heard news from a long time ago, if there was news about your husband being close to a woman before you got married, is it true? Do you know the person? Really, are rich people's relationships really that complicated?" Aidan was very deliberate because he wanted to make sure, indeed Aidan was the type who liked to be curious.
"Aidan," Raja said, warning his friend.
"Huh? What does that mean? Zhie, what's going on? Is the news true? Is your husband still close to that woman?" asked Jey ignorantly.
Zhie chuckled playfully to keep her friends from taking Aidan's remark seriously. "Gosh you guys, my husband and I have a very harmonious relationship, in fact we rarely fight during our marriage. It's like you don't know, the gossip out there is always untrue, they have nothing to talk about, so they just make up news," she said. Zhie said in her husband's defense, though her hands were clenched under the table, holding the tightness in her chest.
The atmosphere in the room grew awkward, and Raja immediately tried to break the ice around them.
"Hey everyone, listen, our Zhie is lucky to have such a great and loving husband, I'm sure he's happy every day. Everyone, let's drink a toast to our meeting today, it's rare to get together like this, right? It's a pity that only twenty could come, but next time we will gather more. The king began to raise his hand, which took the glass.
Immediately, everyone raised their glasses in unison. "Cheers!"
After the toast, the room began to quiet and Aidan's voice could be heard again.
"Hey, you know, when I watch dramas, the life of the rich is not easy and not as happy as imagined. Zhie, it's not like your husband's family is full of rules, right, are you really suffering? Zhie?" asked Aidan, who was still curious, because as far as this man knew, Zhie was a cheerful and tasty child who had never been this thin before, so Aidan continued to make sure.
"Zhie, it's true what Aidan said, to be honest, did that man not treat you well? Is it true that the woman from your husband's past is still approaching your husband? You can't keep everything to yourself, Zhie," Jeyraa asked, already angry.
Zhie didn't know what to answer, but someone's voice made them all turn and stare at the source of the voice.
