"Master, wait!" Mulan was in a hurry to chase after Bara who had walked out of the house. The man was done with his breakfast, and was now getting ready to go to the office to work as usual.
Apparently Bara's car had been ready since, with Hendrik the assistant who had been waiting to open the door. The well-built man just shook his head where he saw Bara stop and turned to Mulan.
Bara said nothing. Only his eyebrows moved in exchange for a question word.
"I'm sorry to interrupt his time for a while, but I have to talk to you now" Mulan said.
"Two minutes." Bara confirmed after seeing the expensive watch attached to his left wrist. Flat. Expressionless. This made Mulan nervous. The woman should make the best use of that short time. Do not let himself not finish talking but Bara has left.
"Sir, are you letting me out for a walk?"
Bara furrowed her brows as she looked at Mulan with a strange look. Even those resolute eyes narrowed for a moment.
"I'm here because you're married. I'm your wife, not a prisoner. Please, don't torture me too much with a restraint. I've been quite tormented by parting ways with Rayyan. I promise, sir," Mulan said convincingly. "I'm not gonna throw a tantrum. I won't secretly meet Rayyan."
Again, Bara said nothing. However, the man reached into the wallet from his pocket and then took a card from there.
"Use this to shop," he said as he thrust it toward Mulan. The woman reflexively accepted and watched the card with a frown. Mulan had not yet answered, Bara had already left her there.
Mulan could only be stunned while grasping the card without the limit. While staring at Bara's car that moved away, he said softly.
"Be careful, Sir."

A woman in black glasses, got down from the luxury car she was driving. Some of the security who looked at him like astonishment only he responded with a smile.
The beautiful woman kept walking in. A pair of heels worn against the floor of the office lobby, until the sound attracted the attention of the receptionist who was guarding there.
"Mrs Mulan?" ask the young lady like she can't believe it. Seven years passed, but the woman thought to be missing showed no change at all. Stay beautiful and charming.
"Morning, Sarah," said Mulan as she lifted her glasses. She smiled at Sarah, who was still round her eyes.
"Is this really Mrs Mulan?"
"Of course, Sarah? Do I look like I've changed a lot?" mulan replied with a laugh.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just didn't expect Madam to be back after so long–" Sarah hung up she said and bit her lower lip.
"Why? You think I'm dead?" asked Mulan in a usual tone. There was a smile on his face. Not showing anger at all.
"You just disappeared. We don't know where the madam is. But obviously, I'm very happy that Madam is back in this office again" Sarah said. Her originally shocked face was now turning happy.
"Welcome back to this office, madam. May in the hands of the Madam this company return jaya."
Mulan simply responded to Sarah's encouragement with a smile. He then decided to go to the meeting room on the fifth floor.
Mulan walked gracefully with her chin raised. Sometimes he replies to the greetings of old employees who have known him. And for new employees can be ascertained if they do not know Mulan.
Mulan knows, so far Bima who is only a substitute CEO while he just introduced himself as the successor of this company. The man repeatedly tried to take over the company, but always failed because Mulan's missing body had not been found.
Mulan never worried that the company would change hands while she disappeared from civilization. Cunning humans like Bima and his family will not be that easy to master the treasures of his parents.
Opening the door violently, Mulan's action shocked everyone in the room. They jerked. A middle-aged man who was originally leading the way of the meeting was instantly speechless when he saw his nephew coming.
"Mulan?" bima said as if in disbelief.
"Why silence? Let's continue. I want to listen." Mulan sat casually and sinlessly in an empty seat between the heads of her papa company's divisions. A shocked roar could not be covered from their faces. However, they try to remain calm because they appreciate the existence of Mulan. Of course there is a sense of happiness in itself to see the actual owner of the company has returned.
Bima who had stopped the meeting finally continued his explanation. The gesture the man showed was somewhat different from before Mulan came. He looked clumsy and did not focus on answering his subordinate's questions.
After a while, the meeting was finally over. Mulan simply positions herself as a listener and observer. While the decision holder is still in the hands of Bima. From there Mulan knew that her papa company would cooperate with a large company called ESTER COSMETIC CORPORATION (ECC), Bima also asserted that this cooperation can certainly be very profitable for them because ESTER COSMETIC CORPORATION itself is a very large company and established branches to foreign countries.
"May I have your attention for a moment?" mulan said shortly after the meeting was over. He stood up from his seat and looked at the faces of his subordinates one by one.
Among the few people who were there, it seemed that only Bima had her face look tense. The sudden presence of the nephew spread an unpleasant aura like he had been afraid of.
"It just so happens that all the division heads I respect are here in good health without anything lacking. With this," Mulan insisted. "With full awareness, I, Mulan Shabila Daud, declare that I will take over this company, andARA DAUD COMPANY, from this moment."
"Can't!" Suddenly Bima said in a high tone to attract the attention of all who were there was no exception Mulan. Yep. The woman immediately set her eyes on Bima then smiled obliquely.
"Why can't you, Om? What's problem?" ask the woman with narrowed eyes.
"You just came, Mulan. Surely you need a break."
"I don't feel tired, Om Bima. I don't need to rest" said the woman still with the same expression. "I will take over everything, including the cooperation with EC CORPORATION!" Mulan turned her attention to everyone. "All reports and withdrawals of company funds must use my signature! If anyone has any objections, you can get out! Cyndi, what about my old office? Has anyone disturbed that place as long as I'm not around?" mulan asked his secretary.
"Nothing, Madam. Your room is still safely under control." Cyndi replied firmly.
"good. Take me there."
Mulan walked out of the room first, while Cyndi followed Mulan behind her after nodding obediently.
