The Retaliation of the CEO's Wife and the Idol
CHAPTER 39: AWARD NIGHT
“Good Sir, one of my employees will immediately submit our company's annual SPT asap. Sorry for the delay.” The beautiful brown-eyed woman then hung up the connected phone connection for approximately thirty minutes with her. The days are increasingly preoccupied with improving the management of the company that was chaotic because of the work of the ex-husband and his best friend. Although basically the woman did not like the field of work that forced her to always sit in front of the screen as it is today, but the business knowledge he gained during his higher education and his involvement in the establishment of La Lemonada enough to make him able to decipher the tangles of the company one by one. The beautiful fingers of the woman seemed to be twitching her palms slowly because she felt sore. Not long after, the sound of the door of his room was knocked.
“Case,” pinta Ega before finally a female figure entered the room carrying a red bag with a size large enough.
“Excuse me, Mom. Someone sent this to you through courier services,” said the woman while handing over a bag that still contains a box.
“Who sent it?”
“Pardon Mom, the courier officer didn't tell me.”
“Good. Thank you,” said Ega who then made the woman beg to leave her room. Curiosity began to appear in the woman until she finally decided to pull out a box hidden behind the bag. A maroon colored box with the logo of a famous boutique in the capital. From the logo, he knew very well what was hidden inside. A dress. Slowly she opened the box cover and sure enough, a haute couture vercolored tan dress with an elegant design and pretty details on the chest. On top of the dress, there was an invitation card measuring twenty times sixteen centimeters in black with gold ink on it. Exclusive invitation to attend the awards night of one of the most prestigious music events in the country. Finding the invitation, Ega knew who had sent it. Instantly his hand reached for the smartphone lying on the table, but again someone he was about to contact actually contacted him first. It is like having a strong bond between the two.
“I know you will call me,” said the voice of a man across.
“For what is this, Iko?”
“Esok is an awards night. Come.”
“Can't, Iko. What am I attending?”
“Toku.”
The phone call was silent for a while.
“Iko me,-
“I forced you. You must come tomorrow and wear the dress that is in front of you now.”
“Where can it be like this, Iko?”
“This event means a lot to me, Ga. You know for yourself that my mom and dad couldn't easily have left London just to attend such an event, right?”
The phone call sounded noisy due to the exhaling of the two, before finally being silenced again by silence.
“Appear in my vision. I'm waiting for you.”
The phone was cut off before the woman gave her answer. Slowly she sighed, put the dress and invitation back in place and then closed the box tightly. Now he really doesn't know what to do. On the one hand, he knew that he would definitely be lonely if he had to come on the show considering Iko was definitely on the invitation line of idol artists. On the other hand, the woman understands Iko who is lonely because her parents are too busy with their work in London which is obviously impossible to leave behind. The woman had not been able to make a decision until she finally stepped outside the room to get fresh air, but then she was so surprised to find her two friends, he was so surprised, Nindy and Luke were sticking their ears behind the door.
“What do you guys do?”
Two friends tried to distract. One pretended to clean the synthetic plant located on the left side of the door, another pretended to clean the glass with his palm. Ega clucked lazily while shaking his head got the ridiculous behavior of his two friends, then rushed to the cafeteria.
“What do you think is the contents of the parcel? Who did he just talk to on the phone?” lukas' great-grandson was curious. The woman shrugged her shoulders because she did not understand, and then peeked out from behind the door.
“Still here?” the voice of the woman who had not left her room was heard until she gasped at the two friends who were looking at the parcel. The two turned around almost simultaneously, and they found Ega had returned with a cup of hot coffee.
The woman stared at her two best friends with an intimidating look in turn. Instantly the two grimaced awkwardly, like a child caught picking up sugar.
“Ehm, the. Anu,” Nindy is unable to continue his words.
“Ah, I forgot to finish my report!” seloroh Lukas while hurrying away.
“Oh, I'm not finished either! Oh my God, how could I forget!” Nindy also cheered, leaving Ega still glued to the door. Ega let out a long sigh to find his best friend's strange behavior and then returned to the room.
...***...
The night of the award of the most prestigious music event in the country finally arrived. The largest convention center in Jakarta which is the venue for the music award event has been crowded with invited guests who almost all come from among famous musicians in the country. Iko, who was also nominated and was one of the opening acts at the prestigious event, was ready with a guitar and microphone in front of him. He looked into all corners of the convention center, trying to find the figure he hoped to come up with today. His mind was split in two, between his self-preparedness that would appear for a while longer and the presence of the woman he had been waiting for. The wait seemed to end in despair when the bearer had called his name once again as a sign that the man was ready to give his best performance. Iko took a deep breath, normalizing all the heartbreak she felt because the woman she expected had not yet come.
“God, take him for me. I beg you,” he said inwardly as he closed his eyes, preparing to draw a sound chanting the reff part of the verse he chose as the opening of the entire song.
Even if in the end destiny wasn't on my side
Remember me as your best memory
And when fate brings us together
You should know, I still love you
The two eyeballs opened slowly along with the guitar passages that accompanied the end of the verse he was chanting, and along with that as well, the two eyes grew as soon as they caught something that appeared exactly one line before him, a little further away from the stage where the man was standing.
