I Borrowed Him

Final Stage

A bright morning in a towering office building, one floor saw Jessica, Sarah, Jeremy and Burgess guided by Luci to the president's room of Exo's director. Inside the office of Exo's president, they all saw Andrews sitting in a chair waiting for Jessica, Sarah, Luke, Jeremy and Burgess to arrive. The faces of Jessica and Sarah look surprised to see the whereabouts of Andrews but they both try to behave normally, while Jeremy and Burgess are increasingly confused.

A second meeting for Sarah with Andrews but this time Sarah with Jessica the mother, there is a feeling of sadness and happiness hidden in Sarah's heart. The three of them had to meet not as a family but as co-workers. In the little heart of Sarah who longs for a wholeness in the family is really this meeting as soon as she imagined it would be a happy meeting but the shadow that she should be quiet because in fact the relationship between the father and her mother is not good.

As Jeremy and Burgess received information that the president's chair of directors should now be filled by Jester, but who was in front of them Andrews now the information seems to be false information. Andrews invited them all to enter and the meeting began, between Exo and Arielle Corp will be held a sale and purchase transaction. The meeting seemed a little difficult because of the rejection of Jeremy and Burgess who did not want the transaction to run well, although in the end they only look as an amateur businessman who refused a profitable transaction.

In another room in the building, Jester and William see a monitor that reflects the current conditions of the meeting held by Exo and Arielle. Seriously Jester continues to pay attention to the development of the meeting which leads to something difficult to achieve, he said, jeremy and Burgess have been seen trying to screw up a few times, although the collaboration between Andrews and Jessica has finally overcome it. Jester's eyes at that time were fixed on Sarah's face that looked happy to see the compactness of Andrews and Jessica, did not feel Jester was happy with the condition.

The meeting was delayed during the day and then resumed in the afternoon, making Jester and William more worried about the success of the transaction. The strength of Jeremy and Burgess' rejection is now increasingly visible when they all almost reached an agreement, until late that night, Exo and Arielle Corp signed a letter of sale and purchase agreement that will be implemented the next day.

Andrews and Lusi then shook hands with Jessica, Sarah, Luke, Jeremy and Burgess after reaching an agreement, they separated that day and the team from Arielle Corp left the Exo office building. Andrews and Lusi who escorted the team from Arielle Corp to leave the office building area immediately went back into the building and to the room where Jester and William were located, in the room Andrews looks very happy while giving a sale and purchase agreement to Jester.

Andrews keeps his promise to Jester to help Jester with all his might in order to win the challenge from Arthur, the spirit of Andrews is so burning today because for the first time he was able to meet two women he loved so much that he could not be together anymore. Andrews believes Jester's plan will save Sarah as well as Jessica from the destruction that Arthur hoped for.

Jester enthusiastically accepted the deal and then read it, all according to Jester's wishes. Immediately Jester asked Lusi to immediately prepare the purchase of Arielle shares from Jester's friends, as soon as he got the order, Lusi left the room to immediately work on Jester's orders. Not wanting to waste time, Jester also made the next step by inviting his friends to immediately go to the Exo office building.

It didn't take long, and in the office lobby we saw Grece, Justin, Harry and Selena gathered to sit on a couch there talking. Almost at the same time Jester came out of the elevator while Luke was seen about to enter the office lobby, seeing his friends who had gathered made Jester feel happy because of the high sense of friendship between them all to help each other.

"You guys, I say thank you" Jester chirped as he gathered and got close to his friends

"Not to be ashamed - to be ashamed, this is what friends are for" Luke said

"No. no. This is more than a sense of friendship, I thank you for your attention to me and Naomi. The first time I accepted this challenge I was actually pessimistic about winning it, however I was only a third-semester student and this is not something I can do without your help. So I say a big thank you to you, my friends" by bowing Jester's head when saying it, Jester's words and attitude make Luke, Harry, Selena, Grece and Justin surprised.

"Hey Jester, why is it so bad? come on, be normal" said Harry as he walked up to Jester and grabbed him.

"That's right, we're the Three Musketeers. One for all and all for one!" excitedly Luke said it and then embraced Jester tightly, slowly Jester looked at Luke and Harry's smiling faces at him.

"Luna must be proud of us.. Could this have met her expectations?" selena asked in a sad tone.

"Of course, this bond is going to get stronger now" Justin replied firmly

"Now just save Naomi, let's get this over with!" grace excitedly said it

The six of them walked together to the elevator to hold a meeting in one of the rooms in the office building, in the room, Jester gave his friends directions to sell their Arielle Corp shares simultaneously at the hours specified by Jester. In total there are forty-nine percent of shares owned by Luke, Harry, Selena, Justin and Grece, which if plus shares owned by Sarah and Jessica then indirectly Jester will be the largest shareholder of Arielle Corp.

That night the briefing from Jester was completed, seen Luke, Harry, Selena, Justin and Grece understood Jester's plans for tomorrow. They all split up to go home, as did Jester, William and Andrews, who returned home together to Gates' mansion. Again and again the laughter of Jester, William and Andrews was heard in the grand residence of Gates that night. The sound of laughter so echoed that Arthur and Julius were astonished and looking for the source of the sound, corridor when Jester, William and Andrews crossed paths with Arthur and Julius.

"I didn't know young Gates was familiar with his useless uncle" Arthur chirped in a heavy, pressing voice as usual, the smiles of William and Andrews' faces disappearing.

Nothing has changed from the figure of Arthur for William and Andrews, for them Arthur is still so authoritarian and rigid also so far away from his sons and grandchildren. The existence of William and Jester at the Gates residence with the familiarity they bring as well as the strong emotional closeness between the two makes Andrews hope there will be a change in his extended family. Andrews yearns so much for the warmth of a family that once existed before she lost her mother forever.

"This house seems like the sound of laughter is a strange sound" Jester said

"Yes, here the sound of laughter is not needed" said Arthur agreed to Jester's words

"That's why I'm trying to change that because grandfather is coming down, under my leadership the sound of laughter is a mandatory voice" with a smile full of confidence Jester said, Jester's words surprised Arthur.

"What have you been doing all this time, young Gates?" arthur asked in an astonished tone, Jester just smiled.

"A lot and I don't want to tell Grandpa, just wait for my surprise" replied Jester full of confidence, Arthur immediately turned around and walked followed by Julius leaving Jester, William and Andrews.

"What's Jester been doing all this time?! why don't I get any reports from you?!!" snapped Arthur

"Julius did not know, because all this time young master Jester only did his activities day-to-day as a student" Julius replied calmly

"He wouldn't be so sure if what you said was true!!" arthur again sounded furious

"Lord Arthur, what I'm reporting is what's going on, Jeremy and Burgess are only reporting that Ms. Arielle and Ms. Arielle are preparing for Mr. Jester's wedding project with young Miss Scott, the eyes of the Gates hotel and the Scott hospital only reported that Mr. William and Mr. Evans bought some new assets for the construction of each company and it looks like they are struggling with funds because long time no fresh funding. All is normal, great lord Arthur, what should Julius say if there's only such a report?" Clearly Julius to Arthur, Arthur momentarily fell silent but his eyes still stared intently at Julius.

"Are you betraying me?" arthur's question sounded flat but pressing, Julius sighed slowly.

"No, Julius wouldn't dare to do it" Julius replied calmly, Arthur turned back and walked over.

"Call all of our eyes that are related to Will, Jessica, and Evans" Arthur told Julius

"Ready, Julius will do it soon

Later that night, at the Exo office, Andrews, Jessica, Sarah, Luke, Jeremy and Burgess meet again to continue their transaction. Everything went very well and smoothly without any more interruptions, immediately when Jester got a report that funds from Arielle had entered into Exo's account when Jester contacted Luke to immediately release Arielle Corp's shares. Luke, who had gathered with Harry, Selena, Grece and Justin at the house of Jester and Naomi, immediately gave a cue for his friends to do Jester's direction, once they got the orders the five of them directly stared at their respective laptops.

On the other hand in the office building Exo William stared at the movement of Arielle Corp stock on his laptop, once the stock fell due to the large sales - the magnitude of which was done by Luke, Selena, Harry, and others, Grece and Justin at that time William bought all those shares. As soon as all was successful, William immediately gave a thumbs up to Jester who was still sitting staring at the screen reflecting on the meeting in the next room where Andrews, Jessica, Sarah, Luke, Jeremy and Burgess were making transactions. Their Jester smile along with the code from William, slowly Jester stared at the window and then looked at the clear sky that morning.

"Naomi...wait a minute, this is almost done.." murmured Jester as he stared at the clear sky from behind the window.

The transaction was completed, Jester gave instructions to Sarah to meet him at the suburban mall. Soon Jessica, Sarah and Luke separate from Jeremy and Burgess at Exo's office, although suspicious, Jeremy and Burgess cannot continue to follow Jessica and Sarah because of a call from Julius who says that Arthur wants to meet them. Finally Jessica and Sarah can feel relieved to be separated from Jeremy and Burgess even though they do not know the reason why arrived - Jeremy and Burgess agreed to separate on the grounds that Sarah had a photo session, soon Luke drives a car and drives Sarah and Jessica to a suburban mall.

An hour later, at one of the cafes in the mall, Jester, William and Andrews were waiting for the arrival of Jessica, Sarah and Luke. Jester gave instructions to Jessica and Sarah to hold a shareholder rally immediately and have Jester become president director at Arielle Corp, all of whom understood what they had to do at the time. It was enough, and Jessica asked Jester, William and Andrews. Jester invites Jessica, Sarah and Luke to leave but when Andrews's hand holds Jessica's arm to hold her back, Andrews' actions take Jester, William, and Sarah by surprise.

"Can we talk for a second?" ask Andrews to Jessica

"Sorry Mr. Andrews, there's nothing more we need to talk about" Jessica said firmly

"I beg you, give me a chance to talk together" asked Andrews, Jessica was silent for a moment and looked at Sarah who from the look of her eyes seemed to want Jessica to accept Andrews' request.

"Well Mr. Andrews, Sarah, you do this for you" Jessica said, then the two moved seats to speak together.

"What's wrong?" jessica asked coldly

"I just wanted to apologize to you, I've apologized to Sarah and I feel incomplete if I don't apologize from you. I know you will never forgive you, but I feel compelled to say this to you so that the burden of my guilt on you and Sarah may be lessened" Andrews replied in a tone that sounded so regretful

"I don't need to apologize from you, it's all happened and for twenty years I didn't really want to care about you anymore. All I did for Sarah, whatever I sacrificed including my feelings that I didn't really want to be in touch with you anymore. The Arielle Corp you built for Sarah was ultimately just a nest of your papa's eyes to spy on us, what would we be like if Jester wasn't involved in the Gates family mess?" jessica asked in an angry voice

"Mr William and Marrie are further cementing your position as a cowardly man!! Me and Marrie are not much different but Lord William chose to keep her, do you not feel that you are too cowardly as a man?!" still with Jessica angry to say it to continue the previous sentence, Andrews could only bow her head in regret.

"You're right. I can't forgive you for any reason, but... Sarah told me she wanted to be close to you. I just hope you can play a father to her at your second chance, please don't disappoint Sarah again" expectantly when Jessica says it, jessica's words and her expectant-sounding voice shocked Andrews. Slowly his head lifted and looked at Jessica, his eyes that looked glassy - the glass made Andrews surprised to make him stunned.

"Please don't hurt Sarah more than this. I beg you this time" Jessica's voice became hoarse because she held back the crying that she was barely able to bear, she said, Andrews nodded his head a few times.

"I understand, this time allow me to be a father figure for him" Andrews said, then Jessica stood up to leave Andrews with tears that had been dripping on her cheeks as well as Andrews who was crying because her feelings were now relieved and her weight had been released.
