Almera's Gigolo

28.Who's Mr. smith.

After traveling for approximately 30 minutes we both arrived at the restaurant called Anggela to meet with Mike.

I told Anggela to call Mike's assistant to inform her that we had arrived.

The restaurant was quite crowded when we arrived probably because it was lunchtime .

I saw Mike and his assistant waiting for us to sit at one of the tables in the corner of the restaurant, as soon as we approached them.

"Almera" he said, inviting us both to sit down.

I just nodded back his greeting.

"how"I asked directly to the problem.

"let's order lunch first and we'll talk about work"

"alright" I said, taking the menu book on the table.

Seeing the restaurant food menu that looks delicious arrived worms writhing me protest to be filled, I just remembered that from last night my stomach has not been filled anything.

After finishing eating lunch, we immediately discussed the problems that were going on in the project that we handled together.

"how now, the retreat of those investors must have affected the movement of our capital for this mega project"

"yes, but there are already companies that want to become investors for our mega project".

"which company can pour that much money in the near future"

"foreign companies of America"

"whatt!!, you sure want to work with them"

"i haven't decided yet, they just sent me their cooperation proposal this morning, you can check it out first" Mike said, adding the cooperation file to me.

"i'll check it out later at the office" I said as I stood up to leave the restaurant where we had lunch.

"Almera, wait a minute for us to talk" Mike said, trying to prevent me from standing up.

"about what Mike"you can't wait to get out of there.

"it's a little personal"

"say now, I'm in a hurry" I said, telling Anggela to wait for me in the car.

"you're with someone yesterday"

"you mean" I said a little unhappy that he asked about my personal affairs.

"i called you last night but there's someone answering your phone"

"sorry Mike, I have to tell you that I only think of you as a business associate"

"but your father wants us both to be close"

"Mike understand, I don't like being betrothed, I'm a free woman who has the right to decide what I want to do and who I relate to it's my personal business" I said as I walked away leaving Mike alone"

"wait," Mike tried to catch up with me behind the steps that were almost at the restaurant's parking lot.

"Mike pliss"

"it's not that I just don't want you to be disappointed about the wrong choice"

"thank you for your concern" I said and walked away.

I slammed the car door a little annoyed, heard the words Mike said just now, it seems like I've been too kind to him all along.

"there's Mer's problem" she asked Angela to see me looking upset after talking to Mike.

"yes, can daddy usually match me with Mike" I replied annoyed.

"what..!!Almer, you're serious"The young man seemed surprised to know.

"yes, and it sucks for me"

"then Alex how" he said confusedly.

"what do you mean, you think I'll accept Mike" I replied glaring at Anggela.

"oh, I think"

"don't think of anything as unimportant as that" I replied and began to research the contract files Mike had given me.

"go straight to the office "my husband to the driver who drove us.

"well mom".

I immediately asked Angela to find out about an American company called Smith corp.

Because this time I heard the name of the company.

"how Anggela" I said to her through an intercom in my office.

"pass the file now" I'll ask him.

"good Mer"

Tok..

"in"

"This is the file you asked for" the Member put the file on my desk.

"you've researched it"I'm still busy with the files I checked.

"yes, here it is explained that the company smith corp.is a company that has long been engaged in construction even has existed since the second generation of the smith family"

"i should have heard his name, but why never" I murmured to Anggela.

"it used to be a big company but, a few years ago, it had a setback".

"oh, it's just appropriate that, just leave the file I'll examine later"

"good Mer".

after Anggela came out I immediately opened a file about the Smith Corp company, where the name John smith as Ceonya.

I'm looking for a profile of who John Smith is on the internet.

There are many articles about who John Smith is.

It turns out that John Smith is a businessman who has long been unfortunate in the field of construction.

But there was one article that caught my attention, a month ago the leadership of Smith Corp. turned out to have been replaced by John Smith's long-lost grandson.

It turns out that now the smith group is led by the new Ceo, I muttered.

But here there are no pictures of Ceonya that are now very mysterious or indeed they do not want journalists to highlight about their personal lives, I think.

"Members call Mike's assistant immediately"I asked Anggela.

"well Almer,"

"tell him to arrange a meeting with Mr. Smith immediately"

"yes, I'll say it now".

I leaned my body against my chair, that's what I feel now because I haven't rested at all this morning.

I took my smartphone to see if there were any incoming messages from Alex, only one day we parted ways but I've missed him so much.

Already from this morning I sent a message to him but until now my message has not been read, where he is, I think I began to get upset because I felt ignored.

tock..

"in"

"Mer, there's something important I want to say"

"yes, say"

"it looks like you have to go to America to see Mr. Smith"

"what..!!, what does it mean"

"assistant Mr. Ronald just called me he said Mr. Smith wanted to talk about cooperation but you had to go to America to see him,because mr. Smith is no longer able to travel far anymore due to his health"

"is not the position of Mr. John Smith replaced by his grandson"

"for that matter there is no news" he continued"

"it's weird"

"so how's the decision"

"it looks like I should go with Mike to America, you get everything ready as soon as we're gonna go there to see Mr. Smith"

"it looks like Mr. Ronald's assistant just said that his Mr. Ronald can't come with you to go there"

"why"

"master Smith wants you alone to go see him"

"what.!!, who exactly is this master smith why would he have to issue such a condition just to invest in this project" I said with emotion.

"so, how are you going to go to America or not"

"yes, I'm leaving to meet Mr. Smith, book a ticket for me as soon as possible"

"well I will prepare for your immediate departure to America" Anggela replied.

Who exactly is this Mr. Smith why he told me to meet him in America, my inner body is full of question marks.
