In the morning Kai woke up from his sleep. Last night he did sleep on the sofa in the room because Alula kept pushing herself away.
Kai looked at Alula sitting on the bed with a blank look. He saw his wife's eyes as they cried all night
Kai approached Alula and sat down beside her. Alula quickly stood up and entered the bathroom. He closed the door very hard. Kai rubbed his face rough, then he immediately took his phone that was on the nightstand.
"Hallo, please find me a private secretary and try to make him a man!" Kai called his company HRD.
"Then what about Miss Andrea, sir?" Answer the HRD.
"Turn him off as secretary general! Focus his work on conducting correspondences and conducting daily activities in operational matters" Kai ordered back. The general secretary room itself is on the 3rd floor and very far from Kai's private room.
"alright, sir. I would pull him into the secretary general and renew all contracts and jobdesk work," HRD seemed to understand immediately.
"But sir, isn't today a meeting with the company in Durham? Inevitably miss Andrea will accompany you," continued HRD was back.
"Yes. Before this meeting, immediately call him and explain his position in detail!"
"Good, sir. I understand."
"alright. Thank you," Kai immediately closed the phone.
"This is the best. I don't want to lose my wife again. I'll do whatever you want" Kai's inner self in his heart. Kai must make a quick decision before Alula escapes from him.
"Honey, open the door!" Kai knocked on the bathroom door.
"I have to work, baby" Kai knocked back. But Alula did not respond to his words.
Again Kai just breathed his coarse breath.
"Then I'll take a bath in my room upstairs, baby!" Kai immediately picks up his towel and work suit shirt and takes it to his old room, before he marries Alula.
After finishing the bath and preparing to go to the office, Kai was about to go back inside his room. He moved the doorknob, but his room was locked from the inside. Kai saw his phone and his briefcase lying at the door.
"Darling, did you lock the door? Open up! I have to say something to you, "Kai banged on the door of the room hard.
"Dear, I beg you! We need to talk!" Kai was still trying to get in
"Darling, what's wrong?" Sofia asked who appeared suddenly behind her son.
"There's nothing, Mom," Kai covers up from his mother. Kai thinks however if there are problems in his household life, as much as possible no one should know including his own parents. It would be better if it solved the problem just the two of them, he thought.
"really? You don't have a problem with your wife, do you?" Sofia asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Mom."
"Well, mommy go to the kitchen first!" Sofia believed her son's words and immediately walked towards the kitchen.
"Darling, then I go to work first!" Kai exclaimed from behind the door, then he immediately picked up his phone and briefcase.

"Have you read your new job and jobdesk contract?" Kai asked Andrea shortly before the meeting.
"Already, sir. Why did I become general secretary?" Andrea asked curiously.
"My wife knows if we've had a relationship in the past. I just avoid the things that make him misunderstand."
"I understand, sir. You've changed now huh?" Andrea smiled as she looked at Kai's attitude which was very different from her past.
"Then get ready! We have to meet with the directors of the company in Durham," Kai did not reply to Andrea's remarks and chose to turn toward other topics.
"Well, sir," Andrea immediately went outside Kai's room and walked towards the room that was used for meetings.
Today's meeting was very well done. The cooperation contract Kai got today. Andrea was in charge of accompanying Kai meeting.
"Sir, I am very happy to work with a company that has creativity and innovation as clever as your company," said Ed, the head of the company that works with him.
"I'm also very happy to work with you" Kai shook Ed's hand tightly.
"Then let's celebrate our cooperation. Let's go to the nightclub that's on digbeth!" Take Ed to Kai.
"Ah, it seems I can't, sir. My wife was waiting at home," Kai tried to subtly refuse.
"I beg you, sir. This time only. Early in the day I had to go back to Durham city," Ed looked pushy.
"Take your secretary or your friend" Ed said later. Ed did have the same age as Kai because he was sent as a representative from his father.
"Alright, but maybe I can't stay for long" Kai said.
"No problem" Ed smiled.
"Miss Andrea, you must come!" Ed directed his gaze to Andrea.
"All right, sir."
Kai immediately picks up his cell phone and contacts Nino and Alden.
"No, accompany me to the nightclub on digbeth!" Kai's orders to Nino. Nino immediately agreed, Kai also said that he had released Andrea as his personal secretary and Nino supported his best friend's move. Then Kai tries to contact Alden, but Alden doesn't answer his phone.
Kai was about to call Alula and tell her he was going to the club for a while to honor her business partner's request, but when he called his wife's number, Alula's phone was off. Kai sends Alula a message and tells her he's going to the nightclub for a bit.
After informing his wife, Kai immediately got into his car to go to the nightclub Ed was referring to. Andrea also chose to take a taxi to arrive at the nightclub in digbeth.
Unbeknownst to him, Kai's old friend sees Kai with Andrea and calls Alden.
"Den, aren't you going to the nightclub on digbeth?" Ask the guy when Alden picks up his phone.
"Ah, it's you. I was sleeping. Why are you bothering me?" Alden grumbling.
"I saw Kai with the lady at the nightclub in the digbeth. I'm just wondering, he used to come with you and Nino."
"Who is that woman?" Alden raised his voice.
"I photographed you?" Alden's friend took pictures of Kai and Andrea.
"Kai, how you got on Alula! Your wife is pregnant with your child!" Alden growled when he saw the photo, Alden immediately took and put on his jacket.
Meanwhile, Nino looks new and immediately sits between Andrea and Kai.
"Kai, sorry for so long!" Nino. Shortly after, Ed and his secretary break into the club. They also talked warmly about work problems, Nino was immediately able to familiarize himself because Ed was the same age as him.
"Let's have a toast!" Ed raised his glass up.
"You don't drink, sir?" Ed asked Kai who was silent and did not touch the glass that was filled with wine.
"I've stopped drinking" Kai said politely.
"Oh, okay. Come, Mr Nino, Miss Andrea? They also toast and drink the wine in their glasses.

Alden drove his car towards Kai's parents' house. As he was about to enter the yard of the house, Alden saw Alula and bi Esther sitting on a swing. Alula was looking for a fresh breeze and Esther was accompanying her.
"Al, come with me!" Alden immediately shrugged Alula's hand toward her car.
"Alden, what's wrong?" Alula asked in a panic as Alden immediately withdrew his hand.
"Yes, sir. What was? If master Kai sees, of course he will not be happy," bi Esther warned.
"I have business with Alula. Go, Al!"
"Yes, what business?" Alula releases Alden's hand.
"Kai was at the nightclub with Andrea," Alden whispered in Alula's ear.
"Bad!" Alula immediately burned with emotion when she heard Alden's words.
"Let's catch him and hit him!"
"Come, Den! Alula go for a second bi!" Alula says goodbye to Esther and walks straight to Alden's car.
"Bring this up, Al!" Alden gave me the baseball bat in the trunk of his car. Alula immediately took the baseball bat.
Alden immediately drove his car towards the nightclub in the digbeth area.
"Come Al!" Alden immediately invited Alula into the club.
As she enters, Alula sees Kai sitting with Andrea. While Ed was going to the toilet, Ed's secretary went out of nowhere and Nino was ordering a drink.
Alula walks over to Kai and picks up the wine bottle on the other visitor's desk. Alula immediately threw the bottle of wine on the floor, everyone stopped from her activities and immediately focused Alula into her attention.
"Darling?" Kai cried when he saw Alula coming with Alden. Alula directly hit the baseball bat she was carrying towards her husband's body.
"How dare you betray me!" Alula growled as she continued to smash the baseball bat into Kai's body.
"Dear, sick!" Kai tries to avoid his wife's blow. Andrea closed her mouth in surprise.
"You!" Alula pointed at Andrea with her index finger. Alula intends to come to Andrea to grab her hair.
Kai immediately hugged his wife who was about to grab Andrea's hair.
"Get your hands off! You've done me a favor!" Alula hit Kai back with her bare hands.
"Darling, why are you being wild like this?" Kai was astonished that Alula was not the type to be violent.
"Keep it, Al! Don't you saggy!" Alden cheers.
Nino who saw the commotion immediately ran towards Kai and Alula.
"You're here?" Ask Nino to Alden.
"Yes, I'm supporting a woman who's hurting" Alden exclaimed clapping at the scene of a wife beating her husband.
"So this is you? Oh my God, you misunderstood me!" Nino unsheathed a sharp look towards her best friend.
"Continue, Al! Smash it, smackdown if you need to!" Alden is still cheering Alula on.
"Darling, let's talk!" Kai pulled Alula's hand because they were now in people's attention. Nino also approached the couple.
Kai explained everything and Nino explained.
"Sir Kai, I'm going home first. My boyfriend picked me up in front. Please tell Mr. Ed if I go home first. My missus came here on a job and Mr. Kai has already relieved me of my duties as his personal secretary" explained Andrea then he immediately passed away leaving Kai and Alula. Alden who heard also glared at his eyes in surprise. Alula looked at her husband with guilt.
