"Tsk! How can they smile like that when it's fake?" Sonia cursed to herself. "After all, the only one who deserves to sit with Indra is me!"

As she continued to arrange the food, her gaze continued to fall on the bride and groom, who were feeling the joy of the party. Indra and Dinda, who had been smiling happily as they received greetings from guests, naturally made Sonua's heart burn with jealousy.

"Eh, Lady! Do you have ears?"

Sonia gasped, her eyes blinking, and turned to the middle-aged woman standing in front of her with an angry look on her face.

"What's wrong?" asked Sonia, trying to be reasonable.

But the unfamiliar woman shot her another glare and said, "I've been calling you all time!"

Sonia exhaled harshly, trying to reduce her anger, she didn't want her disguise to end just because she served one of the invited guests there.

Before Sonia could say sorry, someone approached them first.

"What's going on?" asked a man wearing a wedding organizer uniform with earphones in his ears. "Is there a problem with our service?" he asked the female guest.

"Tsk! Is she a new employee? Why is she so incompetent!?"

The man was silent for a moment, staring at Sonia with a furrowed brow. Then he turned back to look at the woman protesting his service.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, she is indeed our new personnel, and this is her first day."

The man continued to explain and regret the inconvenience, although the female guest forgave. The incident did not go unnoticed by the other invited guests.

Yes! So did the figure of Anggoro, who had realized the commotion at his party. The man growled as his happiness was disrupted just because of the incident.

"What happened?" he asked his personal assistant, who had just returned after being ordered to check the situation.

Dito approached and whispered, explaining the unpleasant incident that had managed to disturb Anggoro's mood. At once, Anggoro furrowed his brow.

"Tsk! I'll give them a reckoning. They don't usually hire new people so quickly," he snorted.

"What's wrong, Pa? Why is Papa so angry?" asked Dinda suddenly.

Yes! Anggoro's obvious agitation certainly provoked Dinda's curiosity. It then surprised Anggoro and made him feel guilty for not being able to control his emotions.

Anggoro quickly smiled and replied, "It's okay, dear. It's just a small problem, but Papi's people will deal with it soon. You don't need to worry."

Although he sounded reassuring, Dinda still felt surprised and then circulated her gaze around the hall, trying to understand the situation that had disturbed her father.

Her gaze suddenly fell on the guests crowding the food stand, as well as some of the event staff. Dinda narrowed her eyes to try to clarify her vision.

"Hmm... why do I feel familiar with that person?" she murmured, which Indra could hear.

"Who?" Indra quickly followed the direction of his wife's gaze, immediately flabbergasted. "Damn! What's with that woman? Is she causing trouble?" He growled to himself.

Immediately, Indra's anger peaked. Finding Sonia in trouble, he had not stopped keeping an eye on her in case she got into trouble.

"Does she intend to ruin this party?" he wondered to himself.

Unconsciously, his worry brought out a strange look and a look of anxiety on his face. He clenched his fists down, his gaze still fixed on the crowd.

"What's wrong, Indra? Do you know that person?" Dinda asked suddenly and managed to make Indra gasp.

The man blinked his eyes and tried to control himself by quickly throwing his wife a sweet smile.

"Ah! No, I'm just a little annoyed with them," he replied, trying to be calm.

Dinda also smiled with relief, although she didn't really care, she also felt strange and familiar with the woman's figure.

"Take it easy... Papa has already mobilized his people. I'm also not comfortable if my show has to be interrupted because of their problems," she said calmly.

"Thank goodness..." Indra grinned, realizing that Dinda had not noticed Sonia's presence.

It was undeniable that Indra was worried that if Dinda was Sonia's disguise, the woman would certainly not stay silent, and of course the party would turn chaotic because Sonia's nature of not wanting to lose would backfire on them.

"Ah! I think I need to go to the toilet for a while," Indra said.

Dinda nodded. "Well, don't be long because I don't want to receive guests alone," she replied without feeling suspicious.

Indra just smiled and nodded before finally leaving the aisle with a sense of chaos surrounding her.

How could she not? Even though the marriage seemed like a formality and there wouldn't even be any feelings between them, Indra admitted that she felt uneasy during her time with Dinda. A strange feeling came over him, especially when he saw the look on Dinda's face and heard her voice speaking to him.

"Control yourself, Indra! Don't ever put any hope in this marriage," he grumbled to himself.

The man quickly washed his face and hands when he arrived at the toilet, staring intently at his face in the mirror without the slightest idea of what was happening.

"I thought this was going to be easy, but it turns out I'm already nervous," he muttered. "And Sonia!? What on earth is she thinking?"

Indra tried to control her thoughts, tempering her anger at her ex-lover, who had casually appeared in that place. She had to rack her brains to deal with the various situations that kept bothering her.

While taking a deep breath, he straightened his body with a gaze that could not escape his reflection from behind the mirror. The man started to step out of the place, but he had just exited the toilet. His body stiffened again when he saw the figure of a woman running towards the toilet hallway.

"Sonia!?" he muttered. "What the-"

"Indra! Thank goodness you're here!" Sonia approached him with her breath caught in her throat.

She suddenly hugged him so tightly that he felt uncomfortable and reflexively threw her off.

"Let go! What are you doing here!?"

Sonia looked annoyed and glared at Indra. "I was trying to escape from that old man's men! Why are you treating me like this?"

Indra then clucked in annoyance at Sonia's narration, which made her even more furious.

"You haven't answered my question, what are you doing here? At our event," Indra chided coldly.

For a moment, Sonia was silent, squinting at Indra's words, which made her a little surprised. But the next second, Sonia's gaze turned sardonic.

"Me? Here?" Suddenly her hand moved and touched Indra's face. "Of course, to see my future husband."

"What!?" Immediately, Indra swatted away Sonia's hand. "Are you out of your mind!?"
