Leo left for the office with a face. It's his first cheerful face after more than two years of cold-faced.
"Lo kayak crazy!" rebuke Devan to Leo who smiles alone. He was not even aware of the presence of Devan who had been watching him since earlier. Leo simply glanced and refocused on his monitor with a flat face.
"It seems all clear." guess Devan. Leo raised his eyebrows in response.
"How many rounds?" ask Devan again.
The plot!
Leo threw his ballpoint pen at the perverted-faced Devan.
"Damn lo!"
"Lagian you're so nosy being a person."
"I'm just curious." Devan sat in his chair while rubbing his forehead.
Devan turned on his computer and started checking his work.
"Eh but I'm serious, how many rounds of semalem?"
"One more time you say I'm wearing this!" Leo held up his pencil case made of teak wood.
"Hehe.." Devan grinnedly raised his hand.
Devan finally gives up, choosing to do his job instead of teasing Leo again. Maybe his head is leaking if the pencil place is carried to his head.

Celina went to the office according to her schedule. He did not work full time there, only working on some projects that Alex assigned to him.
"Dad?" Celina just popped her head. It was seen that Alex was focusing on checking the documents, then he glanced at Celina for a while after returning to the documents.
Celina without asking, though somewhat astonished at Alex who did not welcome her.
"Where are the documents you need to bring to the meeting this time?"
Alex did not reply, this time he did not even glance at her at all.
"What's daddy so busy?" Celina hugs Alex from behind but Alex quickly dodges.
"Daddy why?" Celina was more and more convinced that something was wrong.
"You still asking?" sergeant Alex.
Celina frowned, confused. Then he remembered something.
"Daddy know?" ask Celina carefully.
"You what?"
"About yesterday? about me and Leo."
"It's good that you understand." Alex spoke coldly, there was no soft and warm tone like he used to when talking to his daughter.
"It turns out we just misunderstood."
"Misunderstand me?"
"Yes, he's away from me because he saw me being hugged by Edward. Because he loves me so much, of course he's disappointed and thinks I'm betraying him."
"Love? If she loves you so much she won't just walk away from you without explanation!"
"But, Dad, we've finished everything. And we're back together now."
Celina still spoke softly, she didn't want Alex to explode.
Alex did not answer again. He ignored Celina.
"Come on, my dad's just blessing us." Celina let out a pampered, anxious voice.
"..." - ".Alex did not respond.
Celina sighed.
"What exactly makes daddy so disapproving of our relationship?"
"He is not an heir. He's just an assistant. Daddy wants you to marry a man who can expand our business." Alex says it straightforwardly without anyone being covered up.
"Oh my God, dad! I'm the only daddy's son! Dady's time is willing to risk my happiness just for the sake of the company." Surprisingly Celina did not feel angry, instead she felt this was funny.
"It's because you're my only son! If daddy has another son daddy will set you free and won't burden you with this company." Alex is tired of explaining this. Alex has been saying for a long time that he wants a son-in-law.
Celina stomped her feet and walked towards the sofa that was in the room. He sat down while folding his hands with a sullen face. Alex looked at him with squeaking eyes.
"Dad!" whine Celina.
"Hm."
"So?"
"So, he can also help daddy develop the Giant Family!"
"No!" push Alex, firmly.
"Issha! I'll just go then!"
"Then how was the meeting?"
"Daddy's the one who's gone." said Celina, she left Alex's room slamming the door. Alex was just shaking his head at his daughter's behavior.

Tonight Leo is going to meet someone at a five-star restaurant. Someone who could not have Leo refused the invitation, even though Celina had sulked.
A waiter had been waiting for Leo at the entrance and had directly led him into a private room.
"Sit down!" the man said he was Alex.
"You must know my purpose for meeting" Alex said without further ado as Leo sat down.
"Yes, I know."
"Why are you still in a relationship with my daughter when I clearly forbid you."
"I love her and Celina loves me. So what's wrong with being together?" Leo answered with a stern face.
"Love." Alex smiled in anguish. "In our circles, love has no role at all."
"really? But your daughter is so crazy about me."
"Crazy you said? he's out of you if you don't keep chasing him."
Leo did not answer, and Alex was silent, and he sipped his black coffee.
Leo suddenly thrusts a file at Alex.
Alex took the file and read it slowly. His eyes slowly widened looking at the contents of the file. The file contains Leo's ownership of several stocks and also a company engaged in culinary.
"That's all I've got, I hope it'll make you reconsider our relationship."
"You think this is enough?"
"I think so."
Alex laughed out loud at Leo's reply leaving Leo confused.
"You're stubborn as well" Alex said amid his laughter.
Leo could only be silent with his confused face. Is there anything funny? Or is he laughing at my confidence? Leo kept asking?ask in his heart.
After a while Alex finally stopped his laughter, he wiped his tears from laughing.
"You're sure your abilities can bring glory to the Giant Family?"
"Of course!" leo answered quickly, but after answering he was shocked and only realized by his question.
"What do you mean?"
"If you're serious about my daughter, increase your own company."
"Does that mean you'll bless us?"
"Only if you can raise your company's level to become international. At least you should have branches in two three countries."
Leo's eyes sparkled, he couldn't cover his joy at hearing Alex's terms.
"I'll do it!" Leo spirit.
"And stop being an assistant! You won't focus if you keep on being there!"
"Well, I'll do my best!"
"I give you a year, if in that period your company doesn't improve then don't expect you to see Celina again."
"I won't disappoint you."
Leo lowered his head when Alex left so he did not know that before leaving Alex had a glance at him with a smile..

**Two or three more episodes will end this story. I am still a beginner, so I have not been able to develop a longer story, fearing it even becomes unclear. Likewise with the previous novel, Ghost CEO Naughty. Please understand, friends!
I also design a new novel, later I will up if this one is finished**.
