CHECKMATE

New Problem

"You're home yet, I'm picking you up?" bastian said on the phone.

It's been Bastian's routine, ever since Regina came back. Every day, he would drive Amanda to the office where she worked. Make sure his wife is always safe, both when she arrives at work, until she returns home later.

He wanted his wife to stop working. They have also discussed this issue many times. But apparently, Amanda has not been able to give up her job, with reasons that Bastian himself does not know.

Even so, he did not want to impose his will. He did not want his wife to be uncomfortable with the decisions he made. He believes Amanda must have a strong reason, so he still wants to work. Bastian understands that.

"I'll be home in a minute Bastian, wait for me in the lobby" Amanda said

"Yes, be careful,--" and the phone line is disconnected

Amanda tidied up all the files that seemed scattered on her desk. His job is done and he will be home soon. Today all went well, without any significant obstacles. Meetings with several clients from other companies run smoothly.

He wanted to walk out, when Ella suddenly walked into his room. Make Amanda stop her steps.

"What's the matter Ella? Is there any more work to be done?" ask Amanda to the point

"No, it's not that. I came here to tell you that Def is waiting for you in the main lobby" Ella said

"He forced his way in to see you. Receptionists who work today, have tried to ban it. Until security also intervened," explained Ella again

What else is this, why the two men, who became husband and wife, are so fond of harassing others. No Regina, no Def, it's the same. Why don't they just stay where they are.

"Then, what have you done to overcome that?" amanda asked back

"I told them to throw Amanda away, but the man kept his stance. Up until now, he's chosen to wait for you outside" Ella explained

"Well what else does he see me, just add to the problem," said Amanda began to get frustrated

"What do you want me to do to him Manda. I'll act as you please" asked Ella

Amanda chose to sit back, thinking since how she could avoid Def.

"Ella, make sure Def stays in the main lobby. Don't let it get out of there,"

Avoiding Def, is the right choice. Amanda doesn't want to get into any trouble with Def. Especially if it destroys his relationship with Bastian. He knew very well how the personalities of the two men were.

"Well Amanda if that's what you want. I'll make sure everything goes according to your plan. You better get out through the elevator, which goes to the west door. There, it's rare for employees to pass through that elevator" Ella explained

An hour ago

"Good afternoon, with whose Father. Can we help you?" said the receptionist of the Opportunity Group politely

"I'd like to meet your boss, Amanda Manuwella" Def said

"I'm sorry, sir, can you introduce yourself?" answer the receptionist calmly

"Don't ask too many questions, quickly take me to his study" he replied impatiently

"Sorry Father, have you made an appointment with him before?" ask again

"I have to talk to you how many times, I want to meet your boss. I don't have to make an appointment if I want to see him,"

"Once again I apologize Mr, it has become a rule in this company to make an appointment before meeting the owner of the company,"

So there was a commotion between Def, and the female receptionist on duty that afternoon. The Def forced entry, and the receptionist who continues to carry out his duties in accordance with the provisions of the company

"If you continue to force, then I will not hesitate to ask the security forces to expel you" said the woman. It seems that he has started to lose his patience.

A few minutes later the security of the Opportunity Group building arrived. Ask for an explanation from the receptionist about the problem.

"We apologize, but it has become a rule in our company, not to carelessly accept guests. What if you don't make an appointment first,"

"But I want to meet Amanda,"

"Then please wait outside the building,"
