Chapter 22

In a majestic and luxurious room, Calvino is already sitting in the CEO's chair, examining the company's reports.

Suddenly his cell phone rang. He glanced briefly at the phone screen. Lazy to talk to Lenata. He ignored the call from the woman.

Lenata was angry with Calvino's attitude that always ignored her, so she called Calvino's secretary. "Tell Mr. Calvino to pick up my call."

"Yes, Miss Lenata."

"Now." Lenata snapped.

The secretary went straight into Calvino's room. "Excuse me, sir. Miss Lenata, contacting you. Please pick up the phone from her immediately."

Calvino looked up, staring intently at his secretary. "He called your phone cell?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hm, please go back to your room."

"Yes, sir. Excuse me."

Calvino sighed tiredly, then picked up the phone from Lenata. "Yes."

Lenata growled in annoyance. "Yes. What do you mean, yes? I called you, and you said yes."

"Lena, I'm busy."

"I'm busy too, but I took the time to call you."

"I don't want to fight with you. Why did you contact me? Say it quickly because, in ten minutes, I have a meeting."

"You purposely used the excuse of a meeting to avoid me?"

"That is not true."

"That's the truth." Lenata snapped. "You changed after your return from Indonesia."

"It's just your feelings. Nothing has changed. Please understand my busy life."

"Listen to me. You and I have been in a relationship for years. I know you so well I can smell the slightest lie."

"Then you don't know me very well."

"I know you well, Calvino Luz Kafeel."

Calvino rubbed his face roughly. "Lena, please... your suspicions are unfounded."

"My suspicions are well-founded. Your affair with another woman."

Calvin gasped. His face turned tense, and his eyes darkened. "There are no affairs. The only woman in my heart is-" stopped the sentence when he almost slipped out of Samara's name.

"Who? Answer!"

Calvino closed his eyes to suppress the anger and pain when he remembered Samara. But Lenata couldn't understand his feelings. The woman continued to attack him with hurtful words.

Calvino, who was lazy to argue with Lenata, tried to suppress his ego. "Of course, it's you, Lena."

"Lie!"

"I'm not lying."

"The slightest lie doesn't escape me, so don't fool me. Tell me, who is the woman in your heart, or I find out myself?"

"It's been that I said that the woman is you."

"LIE!"

Lenata's attitude that kept on cornering him made Calvino so angry that the patience he had been trying to hold in for a long time finally exploded. He slammed the iPhone-branded cell phone on the floor until it shattered.

"Arrgghh," banging his hand against the wall. "You always accuse me of having an affair." He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Okay, let me prove your accusations come true, and the woman who will remove you from my life is Kiara Larasati."

A sinister smile etched on his lips. As soon as possible, Calvino must meet Kiara, make a relationship with her, and remove Lenata from his life for good.

"But… what if Kiara is Samara?"

Calvino didn't want to think about the possibilities. Instead, he had to immerse himself in work.

However, an argument with Lenata made it impossible for him to focus on work. Nevertheless, emotions still surround him, so his focus is divided between work, Lenata, Kiara, and Samara.

Lenata played with her cellphone screen by sliding it up and down.

This time, she did not focus on work because she could not contact her love—even after days of ignoring calls from her.

"I've noticed that you're not focused on work. Are you in trouble?" Her co-worker asked.

Lenata raised her head. "Today, I'm lazy to work."

"If Mr. Kafeel knows. He must be angry."

"I'm his future son-in-law. So he can't be mad at me."

"This is an office, be professional."

Lenata was annoyed with the chatter of her co-worker, so she uttered cynical words. "Don't discuss professional matters with me. I'm more professional than you, who are not good at work."

Her co-worker was so angry that she left Lenata's room. "I didn't believe Mr. Calvino to have a relationship with a bad woman like her." Then slammed the door behind her.

After her co-worker left, Lenata was alone. She thought about Calvino repeatedly and tried to call his cell phone, but the man ignored the call from her.

"Oh My God, why are you ignoring my calls? Are you deliberately trying to drive me crazy?"

Lena rolled her eyes. "If you don't want to pick up the phone from me. Alright, then I'll do something and give you a surprise because I don't want to lose my gold mine, which is you, Vin."

Lenata immediately called Kenan. "Hello, Ken."

"Yes, Miss Lenata. What are you calling me for?"

"Is Mr. Calvino in his room?"

"Mr. Calvino has left the office."

"Where to?"

"For that, I do not know."

"As his confidant, you don't know where Mr. Calvino has gone?"

"Sorry, Miss Lena. Can you tell me what you're calling me for?"

"Prepare for my flight to Dubai, now!"

"Regarding your departures. Are you have the approval of Mr. Calvin?"

"I am his future wife, so his approval is unnecessary."

"I will carry out orders if ordered directly by Mr. Calvino."

Lenata growled in annoyance. "Then tell him to prepare my flight to Dubai."

"Very well, Miss Lena. I will convey your request immediately."

"Tell me now, Kenan!"

"Okay, Miss Lena." Kenan immediately hung up the phone and then massaged the bridge of his nose between his eyebrows. "There are many sexy, classy, ​​respectable women in this world. But unfortunately, Mr. Calvino chooses arrogant women with bad ethics like Miss Lenata to be his future wife. God, this is a disaster."
