FLAVORFUL

Chapter 91

Stella welcomes William well, she has to be professional while working without mixing up personal problems.

"Please sit down, sir! what are the needs" Stella said as she looked at William.

"I need help, you want to work with me" William said without further ado.

"Sir, are you sure you want to work with me?" stella asked with a smile that was hard to decipher.

William asks that Stella not joke, this time he is talking about something serious. Because looking at the files brought by William, Stella finally did not accept the cooperation proposed by William.

"What's? you refuse, Stella!" surprised William.

Stella smiled sweetly. "From the data I see, the company has experienced a very rapid decline" he said.

"Then I asked for your help" said William.

"Taking care of such a thing is just a waste of time, sir," Stella said.

William had to go home with failure, because it was rejected by Stella. Stella smiled with victory.

After William leaves, Rico suddenly arrives. Rico asks about William, he does not like the way Stella does not want to help William.

"Honestly I don't like your attitude, Stella. I told you, never mix personal issues with work. Why do you refuse to help Mr. William" Rico said.

Stella explains to Rico all the reasons for refusing to cooperate with William, but Rico remains adamant about not knowing. Who Rico wants to help William anyway, because he can't help either.

"I want to help William, but there are conditions" Stella said.

"Tell me what you want, if I can I'll fulfill it" Rico said.

"We're married" Stella said.

"Stella, you know that I already have a future wife" Rico said.

Stella then continues her work, and tells Rico to leave. He doesn't want to know about William anymore, because Rico refuses.

Tonight Lukman invites Mrs Jennie to dinner at a restaurant, Lukman wants to apologize to Mrs Jennie.

Ms. Jennie asked Rico for her opinion, because she was afraid of making a wrong decision. Rico will deliver Mrs Jennie. As they prepare to leave, Angelica suddenly wants to come along.

"Daddy, come along" said Angelica when she found out Rico and Mrs Jennie were leaving.

"Darling, it's already night. Angel at home with Mommy used to be, yes" said Rico gently.

Rico then calls sister Lela to bring Angelica into her room.

Arriving at the restaurant Rico is not allowed in, as Lukman booked a VIP room to have a meal with Mrs Jennie.

"Remember the age, Mah," Rico said as Mrs Jennie was about to step into the room.

"You take it easy, Rico! You know yourself" said Mrs Jennie.

Lukman welcomed Mrs Jennie with a smile, and she was proud that Mrs Jennie would attend her invitation.

"Jennie, you've finally come! please sit down" Lukman said, welcoming Mrs Jennie.

"Like young people, use events like this" said Mrs Jennie. The room was decorated with flowers and candles, making the atmosphere very romantic.

"Jennie, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time and I'm very grateful that you've fulfilled my invitation" Lukman said.

"I came because Rico told me to, Lukman. He doesn't want you to be disappointed" said Mrs Jennie.

Lukman doesn't care about Jennie coming because he told Rico, what was important for him was the opportunity to have a chat with Jennie.

"On my faults I have forgotten, though it is heavy! because you are my husband died. To remarry I have no desire, I am happy with my children and grandchildren" explained Mrs Jennie.

"You got a kid with that guy? who is your son" Lukman said.

Lukman used to love Mrs Jennie very much, but Mrs Jennie already had a boyfriend. While he has been betrothed to a woman he does not love, which is the Mamahnya Helena.

Lukman had no chance to pursue Mrs Jennie, until one day she learned that Mrs Jennie was married. She accidentally bumped into Papah Rico, so Madam Jennie chose to disappear because there was no husband anymore.

So Lukman lost track of Mrs Jennie, his love for Mrs Jennie was huge but never avenged.

Mamah Helena, who was the victim of Lukman's anger, was tortured every day. Pregnant because it was not on purpose, at that time Lukman was drunk so much that he saw his wife like Mrs Jennie. He did not realize that he had impregnated his wife, until Mamah Helena was accused of cheating.

"Rico my son" replied Mrs Jennie.

"What's? why don't you tell me" Lukman said.

"You were a bad person and I protected my son" said Mrs Jennie.

"Jennie, what about us?" ask Lukman again.

"Lukman, let's just be friends. We're old, it's not appropriate to have a relationship" Jennie said gently.

Lukman then invited Mrs Jennie to eat, the two of them had also agreed to make friends. Lukman also promised to be a good man, and never do evil again.

"Ruby, what are you doing here?" ask Stella.

"I'm being...

"Ruby's an employee here, ma'am," said the security guard who happened to be at the place.

"So, you're Rico's employee? not her boyfriend" Stella said.

Ruby was forced to tell Stella everything, because Stella was also forced to. Even Ruby also asked Stella for money, for which Ruby is more profitable. Especially now that Ruby's parents are in need of money.

"So Rico's been lying to me all this time" Stella said.

Stella then calls Rico, she wants to ask Rico for an explanation.

"Rico, you're so outrageous! why lie," Stella said with annoyance. They are currently meeting at a cafe.

"What lie, Stella? I don't know what you mean" said Rico.

"Ruby" said Stella briefly.

"I'm sorry, Stella! I had to do it all, I already considered you like a brother myself. I don't want to lose you" Rico said, hugging Stella.

"You have the heart, Rico." said Stella.

Rico tells Stella to go to the office immediately, so that the work is done quickly. Because he's gonna see Ruby soon.

Rico calls Ruby to go to her room, and she gets angry with Ruby for telling Stella.

"Sir, I had to do all that. Please don't be angry" Ruby said.

"You said you had to! what's your reason?" rico asked while looking at Ruby.
