BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Road Trip to City J

"Who are you carrying, Boss?" alex asked curiously to see the new figure next to his boss.

"Alex, I didn't tell you to come. Why are you here?"

"He forced you to come, sir." Fredi who was behind the wheel also said.

"Hehehe.... I'm worried about your condition, Boss."

"Eki, come in." Bayu ordered.

"Ekii.... " Bayu repeated his order because Prita was dumbstruck in front of the car.

"Ah, uh! Aye." Yeah." Prita forgot who she was. He himself asked to be called Eki, but he himself forgot.

Fredi and Alex sit on the front row, while Bayu and Prita sit on the back bench. Fredi immediately props up his car after all boarding. The long journey to the city of J by road they will soon pass. It takes about 9 hours to drive through the toll.

Why did Bayu choose a road trip? Because there is rarely or almost no firearm inspection. If they get on a plane, they can't carry weapons with them.

"I'm glad to see you back, sir" Fredi said.

"Me too, Boss. Quiet if there is no you. So I have to work in the office as long as the Boss isn't around."

"What about the condition of the company during my leave?"

"Nona Prita and her friends have worked hard to fix it well. Three corrupt managers have been fired and told to replace the money they took. Their posts were temporarily replaced by Ejaz, Edo, me, and Alex."

"If you want another change, I'll set up a meeting."

"Later if this business is finished then I can take care of the company."

"Boss, as long as you go, Miss Prita's friend Irgi Mahesha always insults you. Then, it looks like Miss Prita's ex-husband still has a taste. He always tried to get close to Miss Prita on various occasions."

"Thankfully you will be back soon. I'm afraid Miss Prita was taken again by her ex-husband."

It feels like Prita wants to silence Alex's mouth. Why did he have to tell Bayu that? The man next to her would be furious. Just imagining it was already goosebumps. Gathering all his courage, he turned to Bayu.

As expected, her husband was looking at her with a sharp gaze. He would definitely scold all out when they were just the two of them. Prita just replied with a smile.

"Boss, you haven't introduced the person next to you yet."

"Name Eki. He's the new bodyguard who's always been with me. You're good with him." Bayu said in a cold tone. Looks like he's still upset by the report Alex gave him.

"Greetings, Eki. My name is Alex and next to me Brother Fredi."

"Yes." Yeah." Prita answered briefly.

"Why did you choose such a small bodyguard, Boss?" Alex who feels already high makes fun of the short Prita.

"So easy to hide, Alex."

"I'm not sure if he can help."

Alex looks down at Prita disguised as Eki. Prita can't wait to punch Alex. It had made her husband hot, now she dared to insult his physique.

"I think he's better suited to be an artist or a singer than to join this group. Must be a burden."

"Be careful, Alex. She can already kick boxing and mua thai. You can get slammed if you make him mad."

Alex throws a lip, "Hem, not convincing."

"A body as small as this if exposed to the wind must also fly. Loads, loads.... "

"Ouch!" Alex whimpers got a precise bump on his nose.

Prita has lost patience to hear Alex's babble. He grew bolder thinking he didn't exist. How dare he keep bothering her.

Alex was finally able to stay still after his nose bled and seemed almost broken. Alex was looking for the enemy wrong. Bayu and Fredi laughed out loud as they were satisfied to see Alex's condition. Just this time someone dared to injure the youngest member of Red Wine as well as the favorite member of Bayu Boss.

"Haha.... Eki, don't be rude with my sister. Pity him." said Fredi.

"Boss, he already dared to hit me." Alex tries to whine at Bayu. Usually, Bayu would indeed defend him.

"I warned you, Alex. My bodyguard is very tempramental. Don't make him mad, okay?"

"Daddy, our business is not done. Later when we get there, I'll challenge you to a fight."

"Alexes.... "

"I've also learned kick boxing with Brother Fredi, Boss. I'm not afraid to fight Eki."

"You can't bother Eki. If you want to fight, fight me."

"Why, Boss?"

"I didn't ask him to face you."

"But he hit me first, I want to reply."

"Later if you're determined to fight Eki, I'll make sure you fall and can't get up again."

Alex was silent again. He felt that there was currently a new member who was more dear to his boss. Bayu no longer defended her. Alex harbored a pang of resentment in his heart.

"Fred, what about your men?"

"They left first. I told them to wait at the point we've set."

"Don't go straight to my father's house. Have them rest in the basecamp."

"Good, Sir. I'll tell you later."

"You too. If you're sleepy, go to bed or switch to driving with Alex."

"Good."

The journey continues, the night is also getting late. Fredi turned on the songs of famous Indonesian bands in the 2010s to accompany the trip so that he was not sleepy.

Prita turned towards Bayu. He looked at the glass window. Looks like something he's thinking. Prita hopes to read what is currently in her husband's mind.

Although she may look like a cruel person, now Prita increasingly realizes that her husband really has a humanitarian side. He went to J City for the sake of his man Ben who had absolutely no blood relation to him. He also told his men to rest after a long journey.

More things make Prita touched, before leaving Bayu had told him if he spent a lot of money to return the company owned by his family. In addition to maintaining the memories that Prita has, also to provide a place of work for his men.

He wanted to quit the world he had been living in. But, he did not want to abandon his men just like that. Finding a job today is very difficult. Many people are forced to be evil not because of their will, but because of economic pressures. He did not want his men to remain in his world while he had already stopped. If they can, they change together.

Bayu also said, maybe this is the last time he will be a cruel man who is very light to take up arms and fire at anyone he considers the enemy. This time, despite having to kill his father, he will.

And Prita followed him because he didn't want any bloodshed between father and son. He hoped that the two could become a normal family without having to kill each other.

Slowly drowsiness stopped Prita. He could not bear to close his eyes, then fell asleep without realizing it in a car that continued to break the silence of the night.
