"I heard you currently have a lover?” gavi asks remembering Shaka's lover whom he recently found out about.
"Decided." Shaka kalem. Little recalls yesterday's incident when she had a roadside fight with her ex-boyfriend. Ah, if you remember it is embarrassing.
"Decap? How come?"
Shaka sighed. "It's a long story and I'm not in a good mood to tell a story."
"If it wasn't wrong, you told me about Jean with a passionate voice." said Gavi.
"That's another!"
Gavi laughed short. Then the ringing of Gavi's phone stopped their chatting activity. Shaka continues his work checking reports while Gavi receives his phone calls.
The sound of knocking on the door diverts Shaka's attention.
"Lake in."
A tall, blonde-haired man appeared, approaching Shaka while carrying some files.
"Ah, Vin, have you found the woman?" ask Shaka.
Delvin put the file on Shaka's desk. "Not yet, I'm searching." Answer Delvin. Delvin is Shaka's personal assistant.
"Your work is slowing down huh, Vin" Shaka said as he opened the file that Delvin had brought.
Delvin who felt his good performance in tangent, felt not accepted. "Finding people isn't that easy, boss. After all, Madam Haisa was very anxious about the baby. Let it go, boss."
Shaka was annoyed. "indiscriminately. You know what, I'm gonna be the one to take care of that baby!"
A bump? Isn't it too cruel to call it that, boss?
Ah, given Shaka's sometimes childish personality, it seems like Delvin agreed to the mention for Shaka.
Delvin was silent. Not that Delvin did not know about Shaka who would take care of Aidan, he only carried out the orders ahead of the big madam not to try too hard to find the mother of the baby who is now being cared for by Haisa.
Yeah, Haisa secretly told Delvin everything. So does the plan about Shaka taking care of Aidan. At first Haisa only warns if Shaka asks Delvin to find Aidan's parents, but it seems Haisa's estimate does not dart. Evidently Shaka immediately asked Delvin to find out about the origin of Aidan.
"Infant?" Gavi's voice broke the silence. It seems the man is done with his phone.
Shaka who seemed to forget about the existence of Gavi there, turned to Gavi with a slightly surprised look.
Gavi who did not get any answers from Shaka and Delvin is getting confused. Strange prejudices were wandering in his brain at this moment.
"Can you tell me, whose baby do you mean?" Then Gavi turned to Shaka with a surprised look, "Shaka, who are you impregnating?"
Shaka hurriedly shook his head, "No. It's not so, Uncle." Shaka massaged his temple, "Vin, you'll explain."
"Mrs Haisa found a baby boy on the doorstep of the house in the large family residence. At that time the security guard in front was not on guard because it was being assigned to the back, and somehow the baby could be there. Madam Haisa desperately wants the baby, and forbids the big master from being given to the orphanage. In exchange, the Boss will take care of the baby with his wife." Delvin take over explaining in detail.
Gavi frowned at Delvin's explanation. "Have you checked the cctv?"
"Already, Sir. The woman was wearing a face cover, as well as a strange outfit and was so covered that it was not easy to recognize."
Gavi nodded, he was silent for quite a while. While Shaka is upset because at this time what Shaka thinks is, what Gavi will think about Shaka who will be an impromptu foster father. Will Gavi question the child Shaka will take care of when he asks for his blessing?
"Shaka, are you going to take care of it?" gavi asked Shaka.
Shaka shrugged his shoulders, "You know how else, Uncle."
"What about Jean?" tanya Gavi makes Shaka even more limp.
Shaka speechless. Can't answer anything. He thinks the no-no. Would Jean have run away if the girl knew Shaka had a child? Of course, which single woman would want to take care of a child who is not her own flesh and blood if not for compulsion. Moreover, Jean is young and just about to graduate college, and it is also time for the girl to reach her career. Shaka will obviously be rejected even before the war. Shaka became horrified himself imagining it all.
Gavi knows clearly what Shaka thinks of Jean. All Shaka's sacrifices seem meaningless if Shaka loses even before the war. Regarding the child, Gavi knew that Shaka was not ready for it. But because of Haisa's insistence, Shaka must be forced to return to accept the fate of the family rule.
Gavi felt sorry for Shaka. The man was too kind and obedient. And somehow Gavi sometimes feels sorry for Shaka.
"Saka." Gavi calls out, breaking Shaka's daydream.
Shaka glanced at a glance. "Why, Uncle?"
"My nephew is on his way here. You want to talk to her again?"

Jean certainly did not want to go all the way to the Altair Company just to give the provisions entrusted by his mother.
The distance from his mother's house to the Altair Company is quite far. Not to mention that he was not allowed to bring a vehicle. If not for the request of his mother who told him to bring supplies for Gavi, Jean was very lazy. Though Gavi can stop by for a while in the cafeteria or cafe in front of the Company. Inconveniencing. After all, why is that man often does not eat breakfast and often makes himself bother like this, anyway. Oh, come... Jean is like Gavi's wife.
This is where Jean is now. Stand leaning against the lobby wall near the reception desk. Waiting for Gavi's arrival by tapping the tip of his sneakers on the floor. Looks bored.
Ten minutes later, Gavi arrived. Jean sniffed lazily. He immediately gave the box to Gavi.
"Uncle, breakfast tomorrow at home. The distance from home to your office is very far, you know! I'm tired of having to come here." Jean grumbled inviting Gavi to laugh. His hand slapped the top of Jean's head. "Sorry, Uncle hastily. You're still on time, remember?"
Jean throbs up upset given the punishment she is serving. "Yes, yeah, yeah. It's up to you."
"You said you're tired, you wanna come inside first?"
Jean shook her head, "No, I'm hungry. Want to eat outside. See you, Uncle."
Coinciding with her body about to turn around, Shaka stood right behind Jean. Directly made Jean hit the chest of Shaka's field hard.
"Aw! Ouch, nose!" Jean rubbed her nose, which began to turn red. Shaka noticed that, how the girl closed her eyes while rubbing the base of her nose.
Gavi who saw that, grimaced. It must hurt a lot.
Realizing the Shaka she hit, Jean rounded her eyes in surprise.
This guy a ghost or what? Why is he always everywhere?!
Moreover, the man is now waving his hands with a face like someone who has just won a Nobel prize. Smile widely.
"Hi."
Gavi cleared his throat briefly, "Jean, this is Arshaka Virendra Altair. The chief director of this company." He introduced Shaka.
Shaka smiled proudly. Finally the official introduction as CEO of the company happened as well.
Jean fell silent. Putting the face as flat as possible even though in his heart he was thrashing want to leave quickly.
Jean lowered her head a little, then said, "Good morning by noon, Mr. Arshaka."
Jean tries to dodge, not wanting to stare at Shaka and just looks down. Shaka who realized that smiled amusedly.
Meanwhile, behind Jean, Gavi gives the code to say goodbye to Shaka.
Shaka focused his attention on Jean. See how the girl's nose is still flushed even though it's not as red as before.
"Is it really that sick?"
"No, it's okay."
"Your nose is flushed." Shaka pointed at Jean's nose.
"My nose is sensitive. Really, it's okay, sir."
To be honest, Jean was nervous. Standing in front of a handsome man in the middle of an office lobby like this was no easy feat. Especially in front of him is the CEO of this company.
Jean glanced across the corner. The surrounding gazes made Jean feel intimidated as if Jean was about to snatch their handsome President. Not to mention that he remembered the events of that day. When Shaka found out about her identity and mocked her, she was cosplaying as a junior high school student. Makes Jean really want to run away right now.
"I'm sorry then."
Shaka held Jean's wrist.
What else, anyway?
"I hear you're hungry, want to eat together?"
Jean turned her head without answering Shaka's question.
"You want to try the food here?" Tawar Shaka is back.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not going to eat, but your female employees are going to eat me."
Shaka looked around. Contact makes employees who have noticed them immediately pretend to busy themselves.
"Not mind them."
Without hearing Jean's consent, Shaka pulls her arm. Take the girl to the company cafeteria.
Actually, Jean felt uncomfortable because Shaka was grasping her arm so intimately. Even the girl could feel Shaka's thumb moving actively rubbing her arm as if it had a pretty close relationship.
Jean wants to fight. But his heart seemed unwilling because the man's hand was so warm. He could feel his arms so small on Shaka's big palm. Wrapped to the full. It suddenly felt comfortable.
Tu-wait, what? Oh, my God, Jean, he's a stranger!
Jean intends to pull his arm but is too late because Shaka first let go of his grasp. Leads Jean to sit on the chair while she picks up some food.
