My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 23

Upon Zetta's return to her home, her mood instantly became bad. A hollow and empty feeling instantly ambushed the corner of his heart. The smile that a few minutes ago he could still give Theo as the man drove him home, now vanished changed with an expressionless cold face.

Zetta. He's not doing well. A million wounds were now filling his heart and trying to hold it alone without the intention of sharing it with others. Not because Zetta wants to be great and look strong in front of others, but because she is ashamed if she must trouble others over the pain caused by her own choices.

In the past, Zetta had foolishly forced Keenan to marry her until he had to live a marriage full of wounds for six years. Then if now he still had to bear that wound, of course it was purely because of his own fault. He does not want to share it with others, especially with people who have been very good to him like Theo, his best friend.

Enough of Theo's help all this time, he did not want to burden his best friend with his pain as well. Not showing the wound he was feeling was the most appropriate thing he had to do. If you can't share your happiness with people who care about you, at least it's enough to not make them worry.

However, pretending to look okay can be easily done Zetta if you are near Theo and Alex. If you are alone like this, the tightness in his chest again feels. The shadow as she saw how gently Keenan treated Helia during their engagement once again filled her head. Zetta didn't want to pay too much heed to her, but in reality her heart was really hurt in that regard.

"Forget it all, Zetta. Don't remember him anymore. Now he's just your past. He's just part of the grim story you've closed and you should forget it soon. Don't be weak and crybaby, because it will only make people who want your life to suffer feel happy." Zetta spoke to herself after previously having let out a long sigh.

The woman then stepped into the living room of her house. There is a bar left by his late father. In the past, when he was in a lot of trouble, his papa would sit in the bar while consuming alcoholic beverages until unconscious. At that time, usually Zetta will feel very unhappy about what the father did. He thought, making yourself drunk is not the thing that should be done if you are facing a problem because it will not help solve the problem, instead culminating in making more runyam the problem itself.

But for some reason, now Zetta actually really wants to do what his late father did. He went into the kitchen and picked up a few bottles of canned beer from the fridge, then took them to the bar. He sat there and opened one of the cans, then downed the contents.

Zetta. It was cold and a bit bitter. He did not enjoy the alcoholic drink, but continued to sip it non-stop until it ran out. It is not enough just one can, the woman re-opened the next can and chugged it back until it ran out as well. And so on until all the beer cans he brought had run out.

Zetta can't remember when she fell asleep at the bar table. He wakes up in the morning when he hears his phone ringing repeatedly. Inevitably Zetta also opened her eyes and looked for the object. He can feel his head throbbing due to the influence of alcoholic beverages he consumed last night.

"Ashug ...." Zetta grimaced while holding her head with one hand, while the other hand grabbed her handbag where she put the phone.

Zetta pulled out the phone and checked who was contacting her. It turns out that call was from Arshi, his secretary.

Previously Arshi was Theo's most competent and most trusted secretary. But when Zetta began to enter the company, Theo gave his secretary to Zetta because he felt that Zetta needed Arshi more than him, so now Arshi moved to become a secretary who helped Zetta work.

"Hello." Zetta answered Arshi's call with a voice that still sounded heavy and raucous.

"Mom Zetta, where are you now?" ask Arshi.

"I'm still home, why?" Zetta asked back.

"It looks like Ms. Zetta should go to the office right now. There's a problem you have to solve immediately regarding the contract documents." Arshi.

"Isn't everything resolved?" asked Zetta while slightly frowning.

Zetta paused for a moment with her frowning furrowed, then sighed deeply.

"Alright, I'll be there soon," he said, holding his back.

Although her head still felt very throbbing, Zetta also rose from the bar stool where she fell asleep after drinking last night. Her appearance was very messy, complete with a haggard face and disheveled hair. Soon she went to her room and took a quick shower. After that, Zetta dressed and polished her face a little with thin makeup to make it look fresher. Then he went to the office.

At the office, Arshi immediately welcomed the arrival of Zetta and explained the problems they are currently facing. Prospective business partners suddenly do not approve some points of the contract to be signed so it must be completed immediately so as not to cause losses.

"It's almost certain we'll bear the loss, ma'am. But if everything can be resolved quickly, maybe the loss will not be too big" Arshi told reporters.

Zetta sighed while checking the file of the report Arshi gave. He immediately contacted Theo for help, but his best friend was currently busy with business in his company, so he could not help Zetta at this time.

Zetta was stunned for a while, trying to figure out what exit she should take.

"Alright, there's no need to wait for Theo's help. We solve this problem ourselves" Zetta later told Arshi.

Arshi nodded in agreement with a smile towards Zetta.

"Don't give up, Miss Zetta. I believe in my mother's ability. That's why I was willing when Mr. Theo asked me to work for Bu Zetta" Arshi said.

Replaced Zetta who nodded her head. "Thank you for your trust. Now please bring all the documents about the previously approved contract. I want to check the part that was complained about by our potential business partner."

Arshi agreed and immediately brought what Zetta asked for.

"Here, ma'am," he said, putting some documents on Zetta's desk.

Zetta immediately reread the documents and learned the sudden points in question. But then, the voice of the incoming message on his phone interrupted what he was working on.

Zetta checks the screen of her phone and finds Alex texting her.

'Brother Zetta, I have to go to some European country for a few days on business. Earlier before leaving, I transferred the money to Brother's account, please accept. The number might not be too much, but I hope to help Big Brother overcome the problem that Brother is currently experiencing in the company.'

Zetta was stunned for a while after reading the message from the young man. Then he checked if there were any notifications from his mobile banking. It turned out that there was indeed a notice of the addition of the balance, and the amount was not in accordance with the description of Alex in the message earlier. The nominal funds can not be said not too much because it can easily finish the Zetta business.
