Disappointment
In a luxurious apartment with nice antique and shiny things, there were two girls sitting on the sofa facing each other. In front of them was a table on which there was a glass of hot tea that had not been drunk. The other girl who owned the apartment began to drink the tea casually before her friend asked her.
“How was your plan to go through the back passage? Did it work? Has Mr. Arthur begun to warm up to you instead of that Gracia?” the girl's eyes widened and she was about to spit out the tea she had just drunk if not for her hand.
“Hmmp!”
“Why are you suddenly asking about that? I almost spit out this drink, you know,”
“Well, I was just wondering if you've managed to melt your boss's heart and you can go back to the way you were before. Being able to have fun with your boss' money smoothly and also being able to go anywhere together with your boss, especially in nightclubs,” the apartment owner's friend quipped. The two of them were none other than Natasha and Renny. Natasha's face immediately turned gloomy when discussing Arthur.
Instead of answering Renny's question, Natasha suddenly laughed and that made Renny frown confused because her friend was a bit different or not like usual.
“Hahahaha. I think I was wrong, I should have prepared beer here instead of tea hahaha. So that I can vent all my sadness and also my slump lately, especially my disappointment in Arthur,” from Natasha's eyes, Renny already knew that Natasha was indeed sad and the plan that was made yesterday failed.
“Don't ever regret what you have prepared, just drink it, what's the difficulty? While you vent your sadness,” said Renny while drinking the tea that had been provided by his friend.
“You're like the proverbial poet or even the gurindam in those novels. Your words reflect those ancient writers,” Natasha said with a slight smile. Which was a fake smile to cover up her sadness. Renny rolled his eyes.
“Huh... I haven't gotten the right answer at all since I've been here,” Renny quipped again as his eyes glanced at Natasha. Natasha lost her breath roughly.
“Honestly, I don't know whether or not to continue this relationship with my boss. I'm just his special woman who is there when needed, otherwise I'm just thrown away like trash,” Natasha said. When Renny was about to say something, Natasha was still continuing her conversation.
“You must have known the answer, Renny, that my plan was a failure. I had exchanged the bazaar report file at that time when Gracia was printing the file. With the hope that after Gracia was berated by Arthur for her faulty work, I submitted the report file to Arthur and Arthur would accept my report, but I was wrong. In fact, Arthur still knew that I had switched it even though he hadn't seen the CCTV at all. He accused me and even abused me and my work. Compiling reports is my job as a secretary, not a manager. I've explained everything but it's still my fault,” Natasha explained as she brushed her bangs back.
“But you can get away with it, Natasha,” Renny suggested but Natasha quickly interrupted him. Their eyes even met as they spoke. Natasha who wanted to scatter with full ambition and Renny who listened well.
“It's not that easy when you're already dealing with Arthur, Renny.”
“Alright, so what's your next plan after this Natasha?”
“I'm also still confused. I have no idea to start a new plan after being berated by Arthur. My heart hurts Renny just so you know. Hiks... hiks... hiks..” Natasha's defenses were crumbling too. Renny felt sorry for Natasha's current situation. Stroking Natasha's back who was looking down while covering her entire face using both hands.
“Already ... we'll think of another way together, Natasha. This time don't let Arthur find out,” Renny suggested. Natasha raised her head to hear Renny seem to have a plan.
“But how?” Asked Natasha who was already curious about the plan that Renny would make.

Meanwhile, Gracia and Arthur themselves are still meeting with clients and also their own father, Mr. George, in this meeting which should be filled by Natasha. But Natasha instead went home because she felt there was no work in Arthur's office, whose position had already been taken by Gracia.
“Thank you, I hope you like our products and want to cooperate with our company,” Arthur said in ending his presentation.
“I'll buy some to sample first. If it is good, then we will work together in this SC Group company.” Said the client.
PROK! PROK! PROK! PROK! PROK!
They applauded after the meeting was over. They all dispersed on their own including Arthur, Gracia, and Mr. George who had left the room first. Mr. George was walking beside Arthur and Gracia was behind them.
“You're not with Natasha anymore? Your special lady? Have you changed secretaries?” Mr. George asked. Arthur's father actually didn't like it when his son played with women, especially those from the wolf nation. Be it omega, mate, luna, and so on.
“Ekhm! Natasha wasn't feeling well, so I replaced her with my manager. Besides, during the bazaar only we knew the data, so only we could make the report,” Arthur explained with a smile on his lips.
“Then... what about Livy? How is she doing? Is the baby healthy?” Mr. George just wanted to make sure if his grandchildren were okay or if Arthur was hurting them even more. He even forgot that Arthur didn't know about Livy's pregnancy.
DEG!
“What do you mean by that? Baby? Whose baby? I don't understand,” Arthur said with a confused frown.
'Aissh! Why is my mouth so light? I've already blurted out about Livy being pregnant.' Mr. George thought.
'What? So... Mr. Arthur and Livy had intercourse and Livy got pregnant? It was very shocking news. No wonder Natasha tried so hard to hurt Livy, this was the reason. But Natasha was too stupid to hurt Arthur's wife in front of him, hahaha.' Gracia thought.
