In London, not because Aldrick is unreliable, but he is stuck in a very bad situation. While tonight he was going to Jakarta, suddenly Aaron asked Aldrick to accompany him to meet the family of his business client, who had just come from Singapore while having lunch.
Aldrick's face looked extremely displeased, he sat quietly without a sound in his seat. Over there are Mr. William and his wife Katrin, on the left of Kinara and Aaron's parents. On Aldrick's right, sitting very gracefully and beautifully Annely, the only daughter and sole heir of the Seageal company, belonged to Mr. William. Can imagine what kind of cliche situation is facing Aldrick at this time.
Aldrick can't resist Papa, Aaron. Especially when it comes to the company. As a child, he still had to obey his parents who had given birth and raised him from birth. Especially to Kinara, the Mama.
Like other conglomerate family customs, matchmaking for business affairs is deliberately disguised under the pretext of having lunch together between families.
"What about our project here, Al? Aman?" Aaron asked his proud son.
Aldrick stopped eating dessert in front of him. "Fine and finish" he said flatly.
"For the size of O'Neill Group's potential successor, your son is indeed amazing" praised William giving his thumbs up to Aldrick who nodded respectfully without a smile.
"Annely herself, are you ready to take over the Seageul company?" asked Kinara kindly to Annely who was smiling shyly. Occasionally glanced at Aldrick who was still expressionless.
"I still need to learn a lot, Auntie" replied Annely humbled.
Kinara just smiled nodding, in fact he said like it was just a small talk. From the beginning Kinara knew what Aaron and William meant by having lunch together. Although Kinara disagreed with her husband's plans, she could do nothing. Let Aldrick decide for himself.
"It looks like you've got a lot to learn from Aldrick, Ann" says Katrin, Mama Annely. "please teach Annely yes, Al!" he glanced at Aldrick.
"Tonight I will return to Jakarta", Aldrick stressed on everything.
"You'll be back next week, Al. Take Annely for a walk first mumpung he here", pinta Aaron while pressing the sentence as if forcing him.
"Pa, please! We have discussed this yesterday" growled Aldrick still trying to be patient and sit politely.
"Okay, but it doesn't need to be tonight, right? you don't like Annely who came all the way from Singapore to meet you?" aaron said it was forcing.
"Excuse me?" aldrick said he did not understand the way his father thought.
"No need, uncle. I'm fine" replied Annely smiling knotfully.
Aldrick seemed to shake his head unconcerned. He chose to bribe his dessert back, enduring the discomfort. Unbeknownst to him, his phone kept on, Dhyanda's name was on the screen of the phone set in silent mode.
"What's in Jakarta that makes you want to come back soon? Your lover, Al?" william asked as if nothing had happened just now.
"Nothing! He just misses his friends" ''Aaron hurriedly covered it up.
Aldrick glanced cynically at Aaron. But he remained silent.
"So can dong postponed back to Jakartanya to accompany Annely?" pinta Katrin, the expectant wife of Mr. William.
"Enaugh, Mommy!" sela Annely felt sad.
"Sorry, I can't!" sambar Aldrick cold. "Ma, Pa" she said, looking at Mama and her Dad very seriously, "I have to go!"
"Where's Al?" ask Kinara slowly.
"home. Packing for the night" Aldrick said, standing up from his seat.
"Al!" prevent Aaron.
"Enough, Pa! excuse me, everyone", said Aldrick to everyone at the table. He left his desk just like that, fed up with the arranged marriage in the guise of lunch arranged between the families.
No one spoke after Aldrick pressed his words. And Aaron was stuck. Annely looked stunned, like she was losing hope when she had been interested in Aldrick since first sight a few hours ago.
Aldrick slammed his car door emotionless. The loyal Vero waited for him as a driver until tiptoeing in shock.
"Liet dong Al! Shocked me" said Vero after catching his breath.
"Business guise matchmaking. Make sick!" sumpul Aldrick vented his anger on Vero.
"The cewe? Beautiful you know her" ledek Vero holding a smile.
"Lo can take it if he wants to" said Aldrick just anyhow.
Vero looked up, "so bodo really if he does not want to be with me" he said still chuckling, "btw we are malem so right back to Jakarta?"
"So then... Lo help packing now!" sahut Aldrick put a safety belt on his body.
"Honestly, boss, I'm not happy here for a week. Try from last month you call me to London, maybe I've got a chat to take my mother home", complained Vero who just one Sunday following Aldrick to London. It was also impromptu because there was an original document that he had to bring from Jakarta to give to Aaron.
This time it's Aldrick's turn. "Ngarep lo, Ver" she replied.
"Don't you be arrogant Lo Al, stick up my handsome lo ngeremehin?" said Vero clucked in annoyance.
But Aldrick no longer serves Vero's babble. He remembered his cellphone which he had not opened before. Aldrick's smile expands when he sees a notification of a missed call from Dhyanda 2x.
"Why smile for yourself?" ask Vero to look at Aldrick's face.
"Ten minutes ago Dhyanda called 2x but didn't answer because I was silent" Aldrick said, pointing his phone at Vero.
"He's a sleeping ballom? Jakarta is in the middle of the mall" said Vero unsuspecting.
Aldrick then tried to call him back. Connected, and sounding softly Dhyanda's voice in another country.
"Sir Al.." said Dhyanda.
"You haven't slept? Sorry I'm new pu---"
"Please my brother," Dhyanda cut out Aldrick's sentence with a terrified cry. "I called Vero but there was no response"
Aldrick. Not only was Dhyanda's voice heard, but also the laughter of some very close men in the ears. Who're they? Where is dhyanda?
"They're bothering me, brother, help me" isak Dhyanda grew weepy.
"Where areyou? Who is behind you? What happened Dhy?" Aldrick began to panic.
"A-i---"
The connection suddenly broke.
Aldrick turned to look at Vero who was curious about his expression of horror. "Where is hp lo?" Tanya Aldrick growled.
"Hp I'm missing you at home, Al. What's up?" Vero gasp. What happened to his boss's little girlfriend?
