Cerita Vani Ethan

Bos besar dunia bisnis bercerai dan membesarkan anak sendiri. Aku pun buru-buru menikah lagi dengannya. Selama lima tahun menikah, aku berhenti dari pekerjaanku dan sepenuhnya menjalani peran sebagai ibu rumah tangga yang baik sekaligus istri yang setia. Sampai mantan istri Neil tiba-tiba bersiap untuk kembali ke negara ini. Malam itu juga, putra Neil yang berusia lima tahun, melempar semua barang-barangku dari kamar utama ke kamar tamu. "Kamu cuma ibu tiri! Kamu nggak boleh tidur sama ayahku! Aku nggak mau ibuku sedih! Kamu harus keluar dari rumah kami!" Para pembantu tertawa mengejek, sementara Neil hanya mengangkat alis dan menasihatiku dengan enteng. "Anak berpihak ke ibu kandungnya itu wajar. Jangan terlalu dipikirin. Sekarang yang jadi istriku 'kan kamu." Aku hanya mengangguk patuh dan mulai membereskan koperku yang berantakan dengan tenang. Tengah malam, Neil mencoba naik ke tempat tidurku. Aku menolaknya. "Perjanjian pernikahan kita tinggal dua hari lagi. Dua hari lagi, kita cerai."

Pekerja magang baru itu selalu memikirkan perusahaan. Demi menghemat biaya, dia secara diam-diam menukar lapis legit seharga 20 juta yang akan kukirimkan pada klien dengan lapis legit abal-abal seharga 19.800 dengan gratis ongkir yang dibelinya di Shopee. Demi menghemat listrik, pekerja magang itu mematikan sakelar listrik saat kami sedang bekerja lembur untuk mengejar target. Dia juga mengusulkan pada bos agar kami tidak libur pada hari kemerdekaan. Pekerja magang itu berkata dengan nada tegas, "Perusahaan nggak membayar orang-orang pemalas. Kurasa hari kemerdekaan adalah saat yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan kinerja. Aku mengusulkan agar semua orang kerja lembur secara cuma-cuma, sebagai bentuk pengabdian tanpa pamrih pada perusahaan." Para karyawan yang jabatannya rendah langsung menggerutu. Aku angkat bicara mewakili semua orang untuk menolak usulannya. Akan tetapi, dia secara terang-terangan menuduhku memperkaya diri sendiri dan menyarankan pada bos agar memecatku. Anehnya, bos justru menyetujuinya. Oke, aku ingin lihat bagaimana perusahaan ini berjalan tanpa diriku.

Winner of The People Choice Awards (Fiction) 2019 for Best Diverse Books When "Gossip " meets "Pretty Little Liars" and had a kid with "Sherlock Holmes". That kid is "The Bad Nerd Boy". "You know my secret now. That's really bad, Summers." He smirked. That nerd smirked! And call me crazy but at this moment, he looked goddamn hot.      "I won't tell others." I blurted the words out, hoping it gave the assurance he needed so he would let me go because even though he looked damn hot, he also looked dangerous. Trying to stop myself from trembling, I bit my lips.  His eyes caught the movement and he bent forward, filling my nostrils with the smell of dope he smoked earlier. Tilting his head, he clicked his tongue and smiled. "Wrong move." With that, he slammed his lips against mine, knocking all the air from my lungs. He kissed me with no mercy. His tongue slipped at the seam of my mouth, and my mind went blank when I felt the tip of his tongue caressing mine. Pulling away he watched me with a mischievous look on his face as he said, "now I'm going to be yours." * * * Professionally edited by Fernanda Lemos. All Rights Reserved 2018 © agatharoza
