The Part 34



Their plane eventually landed in mainland New York City. They also came out of the airport and were followed by a driver who was ordered by Eliza's uncle, who was none other than Albert.


 


Eliza was happy to see the sun in the same sky as at home, only the land was different.


 


“sorry miss, do you want to be troubled first or.” ask the driver who is not finished.


 


“no. Why I went to the company. Trouble.” Eliza replied very quickly to make Leo laugh at his own behavior of his wife who did not want to set foot in his own company.


 


For 20 years, Eliza's uncle guarded Milan's stock to keep her father's last request.


But not only that, Albert also eventually developed his shares to several countries that are quite advanced, until now Albert's children numbering 6 men and 3 women, the number of children Albert, spread to several countries to help him take care of the shares.


 


All of those shares are in Eliza's name. Albert's family did it because they felt it was all a debt of gratitude. Eliza's father, Richard, is actually the only child of the Romano family. And the only heir on his grandfather's stock.


 


When his father was 13 years old, he found his uncle, Albert, was being beaten by some residents for stealing. Albert is a child who has no home.


 


With great difficulty Richard begged his parents to let Albert stay at his house. And finally because


his parents remembered Richard's attitude of having good manners. He also complied to raise Albert as a foster child.


 


When Eliza's father turned 20. He decided to go to a country because his parents were gone. That's when he met Eliza's mother. And they formed a cooperation, until the formation of Ocean Group. While the shares in his home country he gave to Albert.


 


Because he was self-conscious all along. Albert didn't take much advantage. He just thought it was all a reply


budinya for the kindness of Richard and the Romano family all this time. He even taught the same to his children.


 


In America the company was held by Albert's daughter. After her marriage Eliza was persuaded to enter the business world, but she still refused and rethink.


 


“nona, but Ms. Cleo wants to meet you.” The driver said the name of Eliza's sister which made her sigh heavy.


 


“ alright then.” Eliza was forced.


 


They got in front of the skyscraper there. He saw the frenetic situation there. Especially


it's lunch hour.


 


The employees there saw Eliza with a beautiful face typical of Asians who imitated her mother with astonishment. But not with Leo who has a little rustic look down on his grandfather.


 


“look, the women here keep looking at you.” Said Eliza cynically while sitting sweetly in the living room.


 


“you're jealous?” leo asked in a soft tone that only the cynical gaze of Eliza responded.


 


“nona sorry. Ms. Cleo said, you can wait for him in his room, he's in a meeting.” Said the driver earlier


take them both.


 


“no, thank you. I will wait for him here.” said Eliza who still showed her cold attitude.


 


Soon women with large tall bodies and reddish-colored hair approached Eliza in the middle


sit back in that soft chair.


 


“kakak!!” the woman shouted that made the other employees look at her.


 


“astaga, Cleo! You are crazy, right?! You're not ashamed of your employees.” Said Eliza who had been embraced by a woman who had a body slightly larger than him but no bigger than Leo's body. Only women who like to go to the gym and have a little athletic body.


 


“of course not. Why am I ashamed. I cracked you. Just this time I can see you after so long.” Obviously the one who won't let me go. Even this female power that was a year younger than me was quite strong.


 


“oh hi brother-in-law, are you healthy?” cleo asked who was aware of Leo.


 


“hai, I'm good.” Replied Leo who received Cleo's hand.


 


“why are you here? Didn't get into my room?” asked the woman by glancing at the driver who was carrying


our.


 


“me who don't want to. I think you're gonna make me sit in that crazy chair.” Said Eliza while imagining a work desk with the nameplate ‘CEO’ in front of her.


 


“hahaha, you got me sis. Okay then. Where are you going next?” ask Cleo.


 


“we will return to the hotel, after lunch we will meet my old friend who is here.” Clear


Eliza.


 


“what's the model Amanda?” cleo asked which made Eliza surprised after hearing that.


 


“how do you know?”


 


“of course. she is a top model here. We are happy to work with him. Even


the contract expired 1 month ago. When we put up your wedding photo some time ago, she saw it and it turns out she knows you.” It was obviously Cleo who made Eliza a little upset.


 


“don't-don't he can't attend my wedding because he's too busy working with this company?” grunts Eliza upset.


 


“maybe brother. After all, she was a model that was greatly admired everywhere. Not only in the city even in some countries.” The answer.


 


 


“iya, be careful. If there's anything just tell me. And sister-in-law, please take care of my sister yes.” Cleo said as she waved her palm from a distance.


 


“ alright of course.” replied Leo who also waved with me to reply Cleo.


 


Leo and Eliza rested while stretching their bodies for a moment. After lunch, they


he rushed to meet someone Eliza missed so much.


 


The car they drive stops at the parking lot of a photo studio a magazine that is quite famous in several countries, one of which is in America.


 


Seen in the eyes of Eliza when entering the studio, a woman who is not much different age with her. A beautiful woman wearing a wedding dress was standing in the middle of a flash of camera light while following the direction of the photographer.


 


“good Amanda! Perfect!” exclaimed a man who lowered his camera and gestured to the woman


to rest.


 


The woman breathed a sigh of relief, for her exhaustion would pay off with a short rest.


 


“Amanda!!” eliza exclaimed, still holding Leo's arm in the studio doorway.


 


“astaga, Eliza!!” exclaimed the woman while running towards Eliza and did not care about the dress she used and


the assistant was confused.


 


“non Amanda! You don't run! Be careful with your dress!” exclaimed a younger woman running after the model.


 


“ah yes, I forgot.” Said Amanda who had captured Eliza's body and hugged her.


 


“astaga, you made your assistant trouble.” Said Eliza who saw the woman who was chasing her best friend it seems difficult to regulate her breath.


 


“sorry, maybe I'll change my clothes first. After that we can chat.” Said Amanda who swiftly walked towards the dressing room and was only taken by Eliza.


 


It didn't take long, the woman came out in black casual clothes. Without expensive branded goods and makeup make-up again in his body.


 


Eliza seems happy to see her best friend.6 years they have not met. Only occasionally exchange news through social media. While Leo who had been silent was only able to be happy when his wife was also happy.


 


“ alright, let's go.” Said Amanda who went hand in hand with the couple.


 


“you've had your lunch Manda?” ask Eliza who is now holding Amanda's arm spoiled like her


holding Leo's arm.


 


‘well, now I'm like the third person.’ Leo's mind when he noticed Eliza's hand that had been struggling


to the woman next to his wife.


 


Leo felt like he was being cheated on. Almost her self-esteem falls, but she realizes that Eliza is a woman. So Leo can still hold himself up well.


 


“I didn't have lunch today. Later that night I have to wear a dress for an event, so I don't want to ruin my appearance.” Said Amanda who was looking for an excuse, because in fact she had lunch before and she also knew that the couple who was currently with her had also had lunch together.


 


“oh really?” eliza said pretending to laugh while guessing that her best friend must be lying.


 


“how about we just eat a snack. I know a good place. I've been there a lot.” Amanda said with enthusiasm followed by Eliza.


 


“I'm sure, surely the place you're going is the place I had in mind.” Eliza said sure.


 


“why are you so sure?”


 


“because when it comes to the stomach, we have the same taste.” Said Eliza sure who broke


the atmosphere, as well as Leo who could not hold his laughter because of Eliza's joke.


 


“it's up to you, but remember don't spit out the romance in front of me later.” Amanda said firmly while looking at the couple.


 


“calm down, miss. How can I indulge in intimacy if my wife is just spoiling with you.” Leo's words were followed by a laugh by Eliza.


 


The three of them also entered a cafe which was none other than Eliza's favorite place when she was in college.


They ordered their choice of snacks.


 


While eating their food. They laugh and joke too. Let go of the longing between two friends who have not met for a long time.


 


“ohya, will I soon have a pound?” ask Amanda who makes Leo quiet for a moment staring at her hot brown glass at the table.


 


“just relax.You wait for the good news.” Eliza replied calmly as she gave a smile at the end of her sentence and made Leo also dare to lift his face because he was happy to hear his wife's answer.
