After a few steps from her brief meeting with Shinta, Dery entered the room to attend a meeting between the board of directors. Arriving there, he caught a male figure that was not much different from his older brother's age. Looks like they're sekatangan.
"President Leon, I'll sit here. I represent my brother attending this meeting." Dery spoke while sitting on the empty seat next to Leon
"I've learned from your father." Leon said, "I hear you, Dika will attend this meeting." Leon's Sahut
Damn why didn't you tell me earlier. Shinta so this is what you meant by your question.
While thinking Dery clenched his hand.
"You're close to Shinta's fiancee" Dery said "When she switched to taking her father's company, were you going to partner with her company?"
Seeing Dery's face filled with jealousy Leon smiled wryly. It shows that they have been close friends for a long time.
"Will your father let me do that? Don't dream. Haha."
"Curtain! You won't lose, even if you're drunk or crazy." Dery joked
"Director Leon!" Call someone who just appeared from the outside at Dika's company next to her.
"President Boby." Leon got up from his seat, then shook hands with each other
"I've called you a few times." Said Boby
"I was long in Paris" Leon replied briefly.
"I want to talk about it, I want you to come and stay at one of my houses, but you refused." Said Boby again.
"The meeting was very far away
from your house, so I decided to stay at a nearby hotel.'' Obviously Leon, then turned to see Dika "For a long time, not hearing from you, I saw Shinta in Paris."
He smiled and shook hands
"I know, how are you? It's okay, isn't it?" He spoke
Leon nodded.
''Yes, very good news, thank you." Leon smiled
"People who are with you ... ?"Boby was confused to see Dery just silent without a sound, not even a smile
"He's Ceo Jewelery Group and the younger brother of my close friend Arya's President, he came here to attend this meeting representing his brother." Obviously Leon while patting Dery's shoulder slowly
"I'm Dery Hendra Saputra. Nice to meet you." Dery Speaks out his hand and Boby welcomes him with a swaggering smile that is most powerful.
"After this important meeting, why don't we have a drink together?" Boby spoke as he finished shaking hands with Dery. Make people around him look at each other.
*****
In a famous cafe, there are four male figures and one beautiful woman, who else if not Shinta who is said to be Dika's prospective fiancee and former Dery. They were sitting at the same table. Talk while enjoying the drinks provided in the cafe.
While others were busy talking about business matters, only Dery had a sour face. Because there's a woman he doesn't want to see here anymore.
It was inconceivable how the two hearts were. One looks fed up, while the other looks happy to see the face of the former up close who once loved.
"Thanks to the Paris game, the marketing of jewelry in Russia did not go well." Leon said as he sipped coffee in his hand.
"Then what kind of place are you looking for now?" Ask Boby
Leon put his coffee on the table.
"I've seen the area in the Sahara, but chairman John challenged that idea."
"The risk is too high, the same thing might happen there, and the vote is pretty bad." Dika.
Hearing the more powerful name mentioned, Boby's facial reaction looks dislike.
"Can't, too risky? That is
what parents always say. They don't want to have courage, they don't want to take risks. None of them took a positive attitude."
Hearing John in the insinuation, Dery looks dislike.
"Cannot and is too risky. I think saying that is a bold gesture for parents." Dery got up from sitting down "Excuse me please say goodbye, my father is waiting for my news."
Boby chuckles after Dery leaves him.
"Dery Hendra Saputra, what is his position? How could he be so brave?"
"He provokes my anger, he tries to make me angry, he even hurts me sometimes, he can do the same to you."
Boby was stunned after digesting his last sentence. For some reason, suddenly there was a fear appearing in the heart.
"You're saying she's just representing her brother, how could she do that?"
"I don't know how he could do it." Leon chuckles
*****
After the conversation was over, Shinta and Dika were seen just coming out of the cafe and entering his car.
"Shinta are you sure you want to continue with our fake engagement plan. I think he still likes you." She asked while driving.
Shinta.
"Sure, let's just move on. I wonder how he reacts."
"Why are you not being honest with each other's feelings. I think chairman Hendra has now acted, as if deliberately to bring us together with him."
"You're right, he must have known the truth. I had to leave him for a few years. Because I want to pursue my dream of becoming a famous clothing designer in Paris."
''And you didn't tell him, you used my name so he could just let you go. And you're now following me just to see his face."
Shinta took a slow breath, she lazily commented.
"I want to go to the boutique, please take me there."
"Well, Shinta you have to remember I only think of you as a close friend."
"I know." Shinta answered quickly.
A few tens of minutes passed when they arrived, the two men got out of the car and went into the boutique. While outside, there was someone who was observing from a distance.
His face looked furious, as both of his hands squeezed the steering wheel of the car. Furious to see his ex-lover laughing freely with other men. Feeling himself in play.
At first I thought you weren't serious with him, but it turns out you really like him. Shinta how far you're going to go in this way.

Hendra Residence
Dery had already entered his father's room
"Why do you keep standing that far, sit down?" Hendra spoke
"I'll be right back to my brother's house." Dery refused outright, still standing in front of his father. His eyes showed dislike.
"That's a bad reason." Hendra replied calmly.
"Dad, I met Shinta and Dika."
Hearing Dery speak cynically, Hendra took a deep breath.
"You told Dani to meet Dika and tell her to call off her engagement, so you can get back to her."
"Dad, is this what you want to do with your son?" Talk cynically again "Stop setting me up."
''If you don't want to, Dad will do it. I know you're so hurt, that's why I want to play fair. I heard you misunderstood her. That's what made your lover choose to be engaged to his childhood friend." Hendra spoke at length.
"But your justice will make us both hurt, won't it?" Dery spoke while clenching both of his hands.
''What I did, I won't hurt you, I'm afraid you'll regret it later."
"Curtain!" Dery threw away." Now, I hear like my father has been watching and monitoring me, while we were still together. Are you sure I'll have regrets?"
''Do I look like I want your opinion?" Hendra asked in a threatening cold voice
"Curtain, I'll go"
In an instant Dery had already disappeared behind the door, while Hendra took a deep breath
I always imagined about my wife and my two sons who were lonely because of me.
Now I hope, at least they'll feel lonely once when I'm not around.
Dery, I just want to see you happy
