Behind the Rain and Memories

65. Garbage News

Max held Alina's hand out of the office through the back door, security had set up the car there at the man's behest. As Adrian put it, the reporters were waiting for him in the office lobby since the garbage news went viral. Max didn't want to see them. Alina is still in shock. He had to take the girl away from here before anyone realized.

Once they've escaped the newshunters, Max drives the car toward his apartment the only safe place for now. The reporter was not only waiting in the office but also in his mansion.

Audrey also forbids Alina from coming home because the rumor has spread in the neighborhood they live in, the neighbors julid looking for a gap to corner Alina. Audrey does not want her sister getting worse, the loss of her mother alone has made them hit now coupled with vile slander.

" Alina Maharani, the sister of Aditya, an EO businessman in Bali, OPEN BO when his mother died to pay off the debt of his brother, to the surprise of the man who booked the girl was none other than Maxime Arlingga Yogatama, a wealthy young executive heir to the Royal business Mulia Jaya Corps! "

Once the narrative is displayed on the video that is sixty seconds long complete with portraits of Alina and Max who are holding hands in the car.

Ever since seeing the video, Alina had been silent not a word came out of her mouth, but the tears that kept dripping had already revealed how shattered the girl felt now. Continued to be faced with various problems of life makes Alina sad, what mistakes she has done so that people would accuse her of being that bad.

Max doesn't stay silent, he's already asking his people to investigate who's behind all this. He was sure the person had a personal grudge against him, not Alina. From the beginning Max had read the plot, if he was the real target. Max doesn't matter if it's just about him, that cheap gossip can't break it, it's just that he doesn't accept dragging Alina's name and he won't give mercy to anyone who's already insulted her lover. Let's see what Max can do.

" I promise everything will be fine, baby, you trust me, right? " said Max holding the girl's hand. They've reached the basement.

Alina looked back at Max,

" What should I do, they accuse me of being as low as that hix, "isak Alina pilu makes Max feel the same tightness in his chest.

Max held Alina in his arms, peeling her head repeatedly.

" You don't have to do anything, I promise tomorrow everything will improve like before, "

" But people already think I'm bad, hicks, "

Max breaks down a hug and summarizes Alina's face, wiping away the tears that pooled there.

" Listen baby, good bad we are not dependent on the judgment of others, let them, as long as we do not ask anything from them, just ignore it. We also can't force them to always like us, Please love you don't keep sad, "

Alina permeated Max's words and then nodded in understanding. The two got off the car and stepped towards the Max unit.

" Tomorrow to hold a press conference in the office lobby, call all the families to attend without exception, it's time they know who I am, " max insists on Adrian when the man asks what step they are going to take.

Adrian nodded.

" I have a little business, take care of Alina until I get home, "

Adrian does not mind, there is an art Max, a retno bik that accompanies Alina from the moment they come.

" Where are you going? "

" Make the calculations!"

If Max has spoken like that, it means he's found the perpetrator of this mess. I don't know what Max would do, Adrian was quite horrified to imagine.

Like waking a sleeping lion, that's what the video maker did to Max. The man can be very kind, but when his life is disturbed, he will not let go of the man despite hiding in the pit of ants.

" We will hold a press conference tomorrow in the company lobby, so you should just go home, "Orion told the news hunters who are still faithfully waiting at the mansion.

They were disappointed that they did not get anything. With a forced move they went from there. Orion was relieved, from the afternoon the men upset him, but since the decision was in Max's hands, he had to wait patiently. Adrian calls her and delivers Max's message.

" Pity Alina mas, the test is endless, "said Gladys joined the husband on the bed after putting Moza to sleep in his room.

"The purpose of the video is not Alina, but Max. Alina's just a victim, baby, "

Gladys raised his head and looked up at Orion.

" How do you know mas? "

" It's easy to guess, Alina's nobody, uh I mean, she's not a public figure or a businesswoman, it won't have any effect if it's reported, "

Gladys understood Orion's intentions, only he didn't accept when Alina was said to be a nobody.

" Oooh said it was obvious that Alina was just a girl from an ordinary family, just like me, "granddaughter Gladys ketus, he said, he broke away from Orion's embrace and turned his back to the man.

Poh...

" You're so angry, baby, I'm afraid that Alina's not a public figure or a businessman"

Gladys did not flinch he pretended to close his eyes, want to be corrected or not change anything, in fact he and Alina are just ordinary girls who are lucky to get love from a rich family

raya, at least Alina is still quite lucky, although not rich, but the girl comes from an educated family, her father used to be a businessman. Unlike Gladys, whose mother only works as a chicken pecel seller and his late father a factory worker.

Actually Gladys never felt insecure because from the beginning his in-laws were very welcome and love him sincerely. Somehow lately she was very easily offended especially by the words of her husband.

" Dear don't sulk dong, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, "whimper Orion hugged Gladys from behind.

" Want to say I'm an ordinary woman again, "

Orion never said that, Huft why lately his wife is often sulking just because of trivial things sometimes he does nothing is still wrong.

Orion was actually not too worried because Gladys if sulking never long, at least tomorrow morning was good again. It's just Mr. Pip - his can't sleep before meeting Mrs. Pips.

" Well, I won't say that again, Suerr!" orion held up two fingers. A must when he promised, never knowing the meaning of the word suerr, Orion only imitated Gladys while doing the same.

Orion the casanova no longer deserves to be pinned on the man, because his purity to Gladys has reached the highest level.

Hearing the word suerr, Gladys immediately collapsed, but tonight he was reluctant to meet Mr. Pips. His body feels weak.

" r. Pip solo career first yes mas, I'm tired, "

" There are Mrs. Pip kok even told solo career, not good akh!" Orion put on a hard look. In the past he had never been solo, many women out there could satisfy Mr. Pips. But now Mr.Pip only wants to be in the same service Mrs. Pip.

Didn't lose his mind the man touched the wife's sensitive nerves. It overwhelmed the woman, especially when Orion's lips touched the top of the Himalayas. Gladys surrendered unconditionally.

Orion grinned happily, no one could resist the deadly attack of the former casanova. Now he began to spoil his wife until Gladys was drunk and increasingly drifting when Mr. Pip is in constant motion with Mrs. Pips.
