"Shameful! You can keep dreaming about it!” Alexander refused without thinking twice.
“Then tell Sandra to prepare for the wedding only.”
“ANGGI! Have you learned your lesson from five years ago ?! ” Jonatan yelling again.
“I really do, that's why I know I can't count on anyone other than myself. Think about it. If tomorrow I don't get an answer from you, I'll take Melisa out of this house again.”
Anggi then left with Melisa without giving the man a chance to talk.
Before he stepped out the door, he stopped and turned around. "And I mean it."
For anyone in the Alexander family, the company's shares are far more important than life itself. How could he possibly give his share to... person.... outsider?!
*****
Later that day, Alexander called Anthonio to his study. Both stayed inside for a long time. No one knows what they're talking about.
When Anthonio came out of the study, the gloom on his face was dark like a storm cloud.
Jihan came up to him and asked, "Anthonio, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You better ask your dear daughter and ask yourself how you've taught her over the years!" Anthonio's mad.
“Your daughter lashed out at Anggi earlier and even said that the marriage to Sebastian's family happened because we got 500 billion of them! Now, Anggi is using it against us and he wants Dad to give him five percent of the company's shares!”
“Go think of himself! How could we possibly give him our company shares? Even Sandra doesn't have.” Jihan surprised.
“I only have ten percent, let alone the boy,” said Anthonio.
“What did Dad say?” Jihan asked out of worry.
"What else? The wedding is near. We can't turn down the deal now, ” said Anthonio with gritted teeth. He hoped to strangle Anggi with his bare hands.
“Daddy said yes? H-How could he say yes! If we agree to give Anggi shares this time, he will ask for more later!” Jihan does not believe.
"Or you should tell Sandra to replace Anggi and marry Andre!" anthonio.
Jihan fell silent.
“That girl... What's wrong with her? He was always gentle and kind, why should he attack Anggi like that?” Anthonio could barely contain his anger.
“Aggi definitely made him angry. Sandra has always been a good girl but Anggi lately is overdoing it.”
“You better pay attention to Sandra. Don't let him make trouble again before the wedding happens! I'll let go this time but there won't be a next time! After Anggi's wedding is over, I'll get him to return the shares he requested!” Anthonio said furiously.
Jihan remained silent.
Anthonio was already furious. Talking more will only make him more angry.
Jihan narrowed her eyes. He thought he could let Anggi become arrogant for a while because marriage would mark the end of his life, but now, things have changed.
He could no longer let Anggi do what he wanted.
*****
That same night, Anggi received a five percent stake in the company from Alexander.
Everyone is at home.
When he got the approval from Alexander, Anggi's smile became as bright as the sun.
The brighter her smile, Sandra became even more angry. He wanted to rip that lip off Anggi's face.
He strongly believed it was all Anggi's evil plan. Anggi agrees to re-marry Andre so that he can build the image of an obedient girl but she plans something in the dark!
Sandra suspects Anggi of using her in the dark and persuades her to reveal the truth. With that, Anggi would have the leverage to negotiate with Alexander.
Sandra pressed her lips tightly.
"Figure, I want you to know that the stock was not given to you at no cost" Alexander voiced his threat.
"Don't worry. I know what I have to do now because I have his shares.”
"Good."
"Grandfather," said Anggi.
"Speak."
“ANGGI! DON'T YOU LEVERAGE IT! Don't forget your own position in this house!” Alexander showed an unimaginable expression.
"I just want Sandra to apologize to me" Anggi said bluntly.
Sandra already felt aggrieved after what happened and now, Anggi wants her to apologize.
"What Sandra said hurt me" Anggi said.
Alexander put on a cold look.
“Or, do you think Sandra has the right to insult me..?”.
"Sandra! Apologize to your brother,” Alexander's orders.
Sandra's gone crazy! He did not know why he had to apologize to Anggi.
"I'm sorry!" Jonatan yells.
Sandra was shaken once again.
Even Jihan threw a meaningful gaze at him, hinting him to obey his grandfather.
Sandra wants to kill Anggi if she can. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she muttered, "I'm sorry."
Anggi raised an eyebrow. "Whatdidyou say? I didn't hear you. You're too soft.”
Sandra glared at Anggi but Anggi just smiled at her.
Sandra clenched her teeth and shouted, "I'm sorry!"
Anggi widened his smile. "It's okay."
Sandra kept glaring at Anggi. He had never felt so sad in his life before.
“Slight suggestion, Sandra. As someone from a wealthy family, you should know what you have to say and what you should not say. Try to understand that or if not when you come out, people will think you lack education, when it is true.”.
Anggi stopped for a moment.
“ANGGI...” Sandra can barely control her anger. His mother held him.
"Shut up!" said Jihan.
"Mr ..." Sandra looked at her mother. He could no longer resist the insults from Anggi.
Jihan held Sandra back and showed Alexander a smile. "Dad, I'll take Sandra back to her room."
Alexander nodded with a bitter look.
Anggi watched as Jihan took Sandra away. He then said, "Grandfather, Dad, I'll go too."
Jonatan muttered an answer.
Anggi left the study and returned to his room.
Melissa was playing on her computer. His fingers moved across the keyboard nimble and fast.
Anggi did not interfere with his daughter's work. He sat on the armchair with a feeling of pleasure and took out his phone to browse through the news in Grade A City.
Mr. Leon's news has been trending since morning. It seemed like the people in this city were very interested in the man.
He didn't know how many times Willona had to call him in a day.
“Willo..”.
It was a little noisy on the other side of the phone. Willona said, “Lift! Holy hooch!
"Guess who I just saw at the club?"
“I saw Andre, that bastard! Jesus, you guys are engaged and she still hugs the two girls in her arms and dances on the floor! What the fuck! Do you want to come here to catch him in action?" Willona asked her friend.
It has nothing to do with Andre. Why would he want to waste his time on someone insignificant with his plans?
"NO? You guys are going to be husband and wife soon and you guys aren't even mad because she went to the club with the other girls?”
"I mean, I'm not going to marry her" Anggi said.
"But…"
