Best Defense

chapter 57

Geck. Geck. Geck.

A knock on the bedroom door annoys Franda and Nino who are arguing about Franda's work. Nino walked over, turned the knob and bent his head. Sora who stood down.

"What's wrong?" ask Nino.

"Sorry, Sir. There's something I want to talk to you and Mom about." said Sora nervously, her finger squeezing the tip of her gray t-shirt.

"Is important? My wife just got home from the hospital" Nino said.

Sora ventured to look at his master, "Yes, sir! It's critical. Can I just ask for a minute?"

Nino nodded, then opened the door wider, letting Sora in. Sora walked slowly following his master, his heart felt like it was going to explode in there. Fear so controlled him.

"Sora, what's wrong?" franda asked, He clearly saw the frightened face of the 19-year-old girl.

Sora was silent for a long time, not knowing where to start. He was not prepared to face the anger of his two masters when they learned of his actions. Sora sat on his knees at the edge of the bed with trembling hands.

Franda and Nino were of course shocked to see her kneeling house assistant, "What are you doing? Stand up!" snapped Franda.

Sora shook his head, staying put in his kneeling position.

"Stand up!" replace Nino who snapped, his loud voice suddenly made Sora jump.

"Sorry, Sir, Mom. I want to apologize." said Sora stammering.

"Why apologize?" franda asked, glancing at her husband and giving the code to have the girl stand up, She is very uncomfortable in this situation. Seeing people kneeling to him was no fun.

"Get up, sit here!" nino said as she approached the chair from Franda's dresser.

Sora said, He sat with his hands still trembling, his head steadily lowered, not daring to look at his two masters.

"Say what's wrong, what are you doing?" said Nino.

"I... It's about the watch on the TV table, sir." replied Sora stammeringly.

Franda's brows fused together, "Hour hands? What's with that clock?"

"I'm sorry, Mom. That clock... I moved it.." replied Sora nervously, his voice sounding like someone holding back a cry.

Franda wanted to get close and calm the girl, but could not because her surgical scars that still hurt blocked her.

"Sora, relax... Tell me what's up? Isn't that clock okay, why are you so scared? What if you move it?" franda said softly, Nino who was sitting next to him just kept quiet and listened to their conversation.

Sora slowly explains the incident when he took the clock from Franda's room and intended to sell it, but was stopped by Miss Diana who was then caught in the action. His tears flowed profusely as he spoke, regretting his foolish deeds.

"I'm sorry, Sir, Mom. I really regret it." said Sora closing his explanation.

Franda and Nino sighed simultaneously, then threw each other a glance.

"Why did you do it?" Nino finally made a sound, since a while ago just shut up and listened.

"My mother is ill, sir. We need more money for his treatment. I'm sorry, please forgive me, sir. I'll stop working here."

Sora shook his head weakly.

"Stay working here, and don't repeat what you did. I will take care of your mother's medical expenses." said Nino firmly.

Sora looked up for a moment, unable to believe the words of his master. He looked at Franda and Nino in turn.

"But, Sir..."

"Have you heard what my husband said? Now get back to work, don't think about your mother's problems, let my husband take care of her" Franda said with a smile.

Sora nodded quickly, He heard Nino's words clearly, but was too shocked to believe what she heard. The reaction of his two employers was far from his estimate. Not fired and just throw out is good, Nino and Franda actually add by helping the cost of his mother's treatment. What the hearts of the two men before him are made of!

Day by day, life goes on well. Not feel Ben, a baby who was so tiny at birth, now transformed into an adorable baby with his fat body. At the age of 8 months, the baby is already actively moving here and there, messing with whatever is in front of him.

His presence completely perfected the life in their home, eliminating the gloomy that lingered spoiled during Franda and Nino's 8-year marriage, wiping out the thirst that had been held back all this time. Issue a more tempestuous spirit for the Daddy to work even harder.

Franda has not been active again in his shop, only occasionally checking directly the performance of his employees, the birth of Ben really makes the woman has no room to relax in the slightest. Boutique business remains He entrusts to Dhea, his assistant who has never disappointed him. In fact, now the business is growing even without direct interference from him. Dhea, that woman is amazing.

Franda reached for her phone ringing in the sofa, Dhea's name on it, "Yes, how?" franda asked, before Dhea sent him a message that there was a customer who wanted to order a suit, but Franda had to serve him directly.

"No way, she kept asking you to take care of her" replied Dhea at the end of there, her hands busy checking out some of the dresses that had to be sent today to the owner.

"Why should I, anyway? My mom's not home, no one's looking after my son." Franda explained. "What time and where?" continues asking.

"Hmm, a minute." Dhea was seen opening an email through her laptop in front of her. "Four 3pm, in his office, Warner Enterprise" replied Dhea.

"There's still 4 hours from now, I'll call my in-laws for a second, I'll let you know later." Franda immediately turned off her cellphone connection with Dhea, changing to contact her mother-in-law.

"Yes, Honey?" mama Rossa replied right at the time of the first ring.

"Ma, is it busy?" ask Franda.

"No, why?"

"I have to meet the client at 3 pm, Mom is in the old house with Edward, can Mama accompany Ben for a while?"

"Yes, but there was no one to take Mama there, Papa was outside" replied Mama Rossa, the old woman was relaxing while reading a book in the family room.

"I'll have Dika pick up Mama at home"

"Yes, then Mama get ready for a minute."

"Thank you, Ma." replied Franda.

The problem is finished, he sends a message to Dhea that he will meet with the client today and ask Dhea to accompany him, now he must prepare to meet his client.

He wondered who asked for such a special service, Warner Enterprise is a large company engaged in property, *f*ashion, and electronics, but not many ordinary people know about their owners.
