Episode 3

On her first day of work, Rasya checked various company reports.

"The financial report for this month is still in progress, it seems like it will only be finished by the staff tomorrow, sir."

Rasya nodded in understanding.

"The financial reports from three months ago until last month are all in order," Rasya stated after finishing checking the files in front of him. "And for this month's financial report, please deliver it here immediately when it's finished!!"

"Yes, sir. Besides, Miss Thalia Putri is quite experienced in this field and I can assure you that the report will be available on your desk tomorrow, sir."

The name that the head of the financial division had just mentioned managed to divert Rasya's attention.

A few moments ago, Rasya had checked the resumes of his employees one by one and there was only one employee named Thalia Putri, namely the Thalia he knew.

"I want that report finished today!!" Rasya immediately changed his mind.

"But, sir." he wanted to protest, but hesitated when he saw Rasya's expression that didn't want to hear any objections.

"Alright, sir."

"Did you call me, sir??" Thalia said when facing her superior's room.

"Mr. Rasya wants the financial report for this month to be completed today, Miss Thalia." actually her superior couldn't bear it if Thalia had to complete the report today, considering Thalia was pregnant and needed time to rest, but alas, he couldn't refuse the order from Rasya as the head of the company.

Thalia's face turned pale. How could the report be completed today when everything had just started working this morning. It was very impossible, unless she had to work overtime at the office tonight to complete it.

"Alright sir, I will try." Thalia replied. Although feeling a little pressured, Thalia still behaved professionally, not protesting at all.

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Thalia." after that, Thalia was allowed to return to her desk.

"You have to keep the spirit Thalia, don't complain too much!!! Remember, the cost of childbirth is quite expensive!" Thalia muttered between steps back to her desk.

The clock hands kept spinning, now it was five in the afternoon. One by one the employees left the company building to return to their respective homes, except for Thalia, who was still busy with her laptop.

Thalia continued her work until sunlight was replaced by moonlight. She stopped for a moment when she felt the movement of the baby in her stomach. "Are you hungry, son???" Thalia realized that she had missed dinner. Thalia took a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water that she always prepared in her bag.

"For now we eat this first, son!!! Later, after all of mama's work is done, then we look for food!!!" Thalia muttered while stroking her stomach. Slowly Thalia put the bread into her mouth. While chewing the bread, Thalia continued her work, hoping that everything would be completed before the night got late.

Without being realized by Thalia, it turned out that there had been a pair of eyes watching her all this time.

"What kind of husband is willing to see his wife tired of working while pregnant." of course, that sentence was intended for the man who had married Thalia.

It was already half past ten at night and Thalia seemed to yawn several times. "I should make a cup of coffee." actually Thalia was well aware that coffee was not good for her baby's health, but tonight she seemed to really need a cup of coffee to reduce her drowsiness.

Thalia walked towards the pantry.

The spoon containing coffee powder in Thalia's grip fell to the floor, realizing the presence of someone who was standing a few meters behind her body. Immediately Thalia turned her body, facing the man who was now crossing his arms in front of his chest while looking at her with a sharp look.

Thalia stepped back as the man stepped forward. Thalia's steps stopped when her body hit the pantry table.

"What exactly are you planning, Thalia Putri???? It's impossible for you not to know that SJ is one of the companies owned by the Sanjaya family..." Rasya was curious about Thalia's intention and purpose for working at his family's company. Yes, SJ is an abbreviation of Sanjaya group, it's impossible for Thalia not to know that the company is a branch of the Sanjaya group, so Rasya thought until negative thoughts about Thalia reappeared in his mind.

"I don't have any intentions and I also didn't know that this company belongs to your family, sir."

The formal call that Thalia had just spoken was able to create a grin at the corner of Rasya's lips.

"You think I'll just believe all your words??? I've only been a fool once who can be easily fooled by you, Thalia, in the future don't expect me to be fooled again by your trickery." while speaking, Rasya continued to step closer to Thalia, until unconsciously his body stuck to Thalia's bulging stomach, and at that moment the baby in Thalia's womb moved nimbly, Rasya could feel the movement clearly.

Thalia hurriedly pushed Rasya's chest when the man's gaze fell on her bulging stomach. "Sorry sir, I have to get back to work immediately." hastily Thalia returned to her desk, even her goal to make a cup of coffee was now forgotten.

Rasya smiled bitterly, looking at Thalia's back that was getting further away from him. "It seems you really love the father of your baby, so much so that you are so afraid that I will do something to him." he muttered softly.

Arriving at her desk, Thalia dropped her weight on her chair. Holding her chest that was throbbing greatly, not because of love but because of fear. Afraid that Rasya would find out that the baby was hers and dare to do bad things to her baby, considering that the man hated her so much.

With tears streaming down her eyes, Thalia stroked her stomach.

"Forgive mama, son.... it's not that mama wants to separate you from your papa, mama is just afraid that papa's hatred for mama will be vented on you, my dear child. Thalia."

Her child was Thalia's only hope in the middle of her life that was only alone. She didn't want Rasya to do bad things or even be willing to ask her to abort the baby in her womb, because of how much he hated her.

At twelve o'clock at night, Thalia's work was finally finished. Thalia was ready to go home. But unfortunately it was raining heavily outside now, so Thalia had to wait until the rain subsided a little, then order an online taxi.

Thalia, who was waiting for the rain to subside at the post with security, deliberately averted her gaze when she saw Rasya had just left the company building with his personal assistant.

"Is it necessary to offer a ride to Miss Thalia, sir???" asked his personal assistant when he saw from the rearview mirror that his master's car continued to look in the direction where Thalia was.
