BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Prejudice

The meeting just finished. Ayash was still sitting in his place while reading the data on his tablet screen. Tired of reading the data, he turned to open a photo gallery filled with portraits of himself and his girlfriend, Prita. Sometimes he smiled, remembering the beautiful moments they had passed. She has known him for eight years. Yeah, since High School they've been friends. They often spend time together and their relationship is very close like family. As both of Prita's parents died, he also felt a deep pain and loss.

Actually, they planned to go to college together in Singapore with Irgi, their best friend. However, because suddenly Prita's parents died, Prita undoes his intention to go to college. Irgi and himself had persuaded Prita to continue college with the help of fees from them, but the woman refused. Prita is the type of person who does not want to trouble others, let alone get mercy.

Finally, only Irgi continued his studies in Singapore. Meanwhile, Ayash chose to study in Indonesia only. Despite studying outside the city, at least he was easy to occasionally visit Prita. At that time, he liked Prita. He could not leave her alone. His two best friends, Vino and Andin, decided to study in the United States.

Every month Ayash took the time to go home to see Prita, to convince Prita that he was not alone, there was still Ayash who cared about him. Sometimes, he felt sad to see Prita had to work hard all day. Morning to noon Prita worked at school and afternoon to night still had to work at the restaurant as a dishwasher. In fact, Prita is not a child who comes from a family that is lacking.

The life of the Prita family before can be said to be quite established. The proof, they can be friendly and attend private High School which is quite elite. Five of them are the sons of businessmen. But, since his parents died, Prita's life turned 180 degrees. His current job does not reflect that he was once a child of a businessman. However, it seems that Prita remains happy with her life choices. He was not the spoiled type of kid. He is very independent and smart. That is what makes Ayash more amazed by the figure of Prita.

Two years after the death of Prita's parents, Ayash ventured to express his heart. He said that he had always loved that woman. And, as it turns out, Prita has the same feelings for her. Eventually, the two decided to date. Yes, they were LDRs during the courtship because Ayash still had to finish his studies.

Since deciding to date, Ayash is determined to work hard to become a successful person and can invite Prita to live happily with him. He wanted to protect and love this woman.

“Pak... “ a soft greeting Egi disperse daydreams Ayash. “It's time we went to the banquet at Hotel Casanova. Driver's already waiting under.” Further.

“Ah, yes. Let's go!”

Ayash instantly turned off his tablet and walked up to his secretary. On the front page of the office there was Alphard's car ready to drive him. Egi sat down next to the driver, while Ayash sat in the back seat. The car immediately drove towards the meeting place.

Arriving at the door of the hotel restaurant, the waiter greeted and directed them to a special room that had been booked for the banquet. Before entering the banquet room, Ayash suddenly came to a halt. His eyes caught a figure very similar to Prita eating with a man and a small child.

‘Prita?’ his mumbling in the heart.

“What's up, Sir?” asked Egi who was astonished to see his boss suddenly stop.

“Egi... what woman is there Prita?” he asked while pointing at the direction in question.

Egi turned his head in the direction Ayash pointed. “Iya, Sir. Looks like it's Miss Prita.” The answer. Egi, as a secretary and assistant Ayash, has often met with Prita. She knows Prita is her boss' girlfriend. He also knew his boss was bad-tempered towards the woman. He was a little worried about the situation. His boss must be furious.

Ayash's hands clenched. There was a kind of emotion exploding in his chest. It felt like he wanted to hit them and beat the man all out.

“Pak, Mr. Mathias is waiting for you.” Suddenly a servant called them.

“Pak, we'd better get in. People must have been waiting for you.” Baju Egi's.

“Egi, tell people to find out who the children and boys are with Prita.” Pinta Ayash's.

“Good, Mr.”

The two of them then entered the banquet hall. In the room, it appears that there have been several entrepreneurs who were involved in joint projects. Ayash is the youngest businessman in the group.

During the banquet event, Ayash could not focus on listening to the discussion of the project to be done. His mind was filled with Prita and the man who was eating with him in the restaurant.

‘He should be working in a restaurant. Why even here? Though all this time if I ask him to occasionally skip work, definitely do not want.’

'Who is that little boy? Is that one of the students at school? So, is that guy the father of the kid? Why do they eat together? Is that guy a widower? Is he flirting with my girlfriend by using her son? The insolent…. ’

'Doesn't he know, I work this hard for him. Is that the guy he calls Sugar Daddy? What is his rather old taste? I am young but I have a lot of money too. If you want money, why not ask me?'

‘Newly this time I saw him close to someone else. Do I know him less? What do you think, as long as the LDR he often walks with other people? What is this like Prita's real nature?’

Ayash's mind was filled with negative prejudices. Egi glanced towards his boss who was not at all

listen to the project at all. He shook his head.

‘Hadah. Must have been filled with Miss Prita. Today's meeting is definitely me who will be asked. If I don't listen, I must be angry.’ Inner Egi.

Egi got up from his seat and avoided the group to call someone, “Halo. Follow Miss Prita and find out the identity of the little boy and the man she was with. Today you have to report the results or the boss will be angry. Later I send the photos, I had time to take pictures of them at the restaurant.” Terang Egi's.

After he finished talking, he immediately turned off the phone and immediately sent a photo of Prita to the person he had just contacted.

“I am indeed smart. Luckily I took photos.” Gumannya with pride. Then, he returned to the society to listen to the results of the discussion of the project. He had to master the information from the meeting, because his boss's mind was on another world.
