Because of the compulsion

Because of the compulsion
behind the Marshal



Is Viona jealous? He himself is not sure. But, it doesn't seem to be jealousy. Why is he jealous? From the first time he saw Marshal looking messy, he did not feel anything. Not angry, not suspicious. He was just trying to understand what was happening. It doesn't matter, even if Marshal and Amanda did it back then. Although Marshal explained, if they did not do it, but Viona remained indifferent, if even they did.


Since this afternoon, Marshal has been asking her about it. Is he jealous? Viona thought about it. He's not jealous! Only, he was annoyed with the Marshal who did not want to understand with his unwillingness to be seen red marks on the neck by others.


"But, why are you even discussing my problem with Amanda, if you're not jealous and you're having a problem with that?" marshal said when Viona denied it earlier.


Also true. Why did Viona bring that trouble? Ah, nevermind! He really doesn't want to think about anything anymore. Obviously, he was not jealous. Not at all!


"Rio!" call Viona closer to the person being called. He was sitting on a park chair, next to Rio who was seen reading an article on his phone. Viona slightly shifted her body to peek at what Rio was reading. Instantly his eyes rounded and snatched the phone from Rio's hand. "What news is this? The name of the master is mentioned."


Rio just kept quiet, not snatching his phone back, even though he was shocked. "There is news that reports, the master sues Mr. Suryo, who is doing the fundraising of the project. Well, in the news, even the master who became polluted. Because they have accused people without evidence, he said. Though it was obvious, Mr. Suryo and his men were corrupt."


"Why is this so?" Viona read the article seriously.


"That's, Mistress. That's why I'm also confused as to why there's such news."


"Have you investigated it? I'm sure, sir can't possibly accuse people without evidence, right?"


Rio nodded in agreement. He recieves the phone Viona has finished reading. "All the evidence is clear, the funds of the project went into the personal account of Mr. Suryo, since the last month. I've proven it. But, I don't know where this news came from. In this news instead said, as if the Marshal master was wrong and accused the wrong of the Lord Suryo."


"Maybe this news came from the side of Mr. Suryo. It could be, he did not accept the corruption, so he revealed this news. Yes, maybe so that the name of the master is contaminated. He probably intends revenge."


"I'm investigating, Madam. But, most likely, it was like that."


Viona nodded her head. He glanced around who looked lonely. The atmosphere of the garden felt so cold. He was astonished, why did Rio feel at home to be there? Almost every night, the man must have taken the time to sit in the long chair they were sitting in at the moment. Either that, just sit while playing the phone or just daydreaming enjoy the cool atmosphere of the night breeze. Viona often finds him sitting there alone.


"Gentleman where?" Viona just remembered. Since the afternoon she has continued to be stalked by her husband and chided by questions of jealousy issues. But, now that he felt something was lacking, the Marshal did not revisit him again after dinner last night. And Viona hadn't seen it to date either. Usually Marshal will be fussy if it's night. He must have invited her to sleep with various seductions that were thrown.


"Maybe in his study. There are a lot of things you have to take care of lately. Plus this case of embezzlement is getting more complicated. Master must be thinking hard to dampen the news."


"Kan, there's evidence. Why not show the evidence to the public? If they know the truth, the charges are undeniable, right?"


"The problem is, this news has come to the surface. And the one who defended the news was a famous lawyer. Hard enough to fight. From my observation, even if master could defeat them this time, once the case had subsided, they would definitely make the new news even more shocking. Even worse, it must be back to raise the news of the affair between master and Miss Amanda. That's terrible, Madam. The stock price must be getting lower, if that happens."


Viona's just a beard. He did not understand enough about the problem. But, it seems very complicated. Her husband always complained of headaches. "Can't you hire the best lawyer? Much money. Why not hire a lawyer from abroad, maybe?"


Viona's eyebrows shot up in confusion. He sat sideways facing Rio. "You mean?"


Rio glanced at her seriously. He's getting a little closer. "I feel like all this is a big master's intervention" he said, sounding like a whisper.


Viona frowned inside. "Papa Vishnu mean you?"


The man nodded his head confidently. "Mistress' husband hasn't noticed it yet, perhaps. He just kept thinking about the case of embezzlement and the mastermind behind it. No rethinking about who's handling the case."


Viona clucked in annoyance. "So how? I don't understand."


Rio's breath sounded like a burst. He had to patiently explain everything until Viona understood what he was thinking. "All I know, the famous lawyer who is the opponent of the current master, he was once under the power of the great master."


Viona was silent digesting and thinking about everything. Once you understand, ask for an explanation. "Why didn't you realize it?"


"Maybe your memory is a little disturbed. He's sometimes forgetful. Because as I recall, Mr. Atma used that lawyer four years ago. You may not know or remember."


"Why didn't you tell him?"


Rio slightly moved to put the phone in his pants pocket. Then, he sat back down. With ease even cross the legs. "I don't know yet why the great master did it. And just now, the great master contacted me and asked to meet him secretly. Unbeknownst to Marshal sir."


Viona understood now with what Rio was thinking. "You suspect you have a secret plan?"


Rio nodded quickly. "It looks so."


"So, you guys want to play behind your back? Well, well, well, you're not a good assistant, huh." Viona laughs amusedly as she hits Rio's arm softly. "How can you cover up the truth from your own master, Yo. You want to stab the master in the back?"


Rio grunting. "It's not so, Madam! Shhh .. don't tell anyone! Including sir. If I had already confirmed the matter to the great lord, later I would definitely tell mister Marshal."


"Oh, is that our secret?" whispered Viona, stopping her laughter.


Rio just nodded his head and stuck his index finger in front of his mouth. Asking Viona not to tell anyone.


Viona's thumb and forefinger fused together to form the letter 'O'. He raised it in front of Rio. "OKAY. I will keep this a secret," he said, chuckling amusedly.
