During the day at Jester and Naomi's house, Jester, Justin, Luke, Harry, Selena and Grece gather in the family room of the house. They all sat on the sofa with faces that looked serious and full of worries, they all fell silent in silence without any of them wanting to start the conversation. An atmosphere that they would never expect when being gathered like this, because basically they are all people who are fun when together.
"Emmm... Jester, looks like we better get home first. I'm actually just here to ask you about our band" Grece said as the atmosphere grew colder, Jester seemed to wake up from his daydream and looked away at Grece.
"Well, I didn't realize you were here. I'm sorry I couldn't welcome you so well" Jester said, shaking his head several times
"No gapapa, anyways I came uninvited. at a time like this anyway.I'm sorry about what happened to Naomi" with a voice that sounded full of sadness Grece said.
"Before I go home I need your help, I'm sure you can do it" with a little force Jester said, Grece and Justin stared at each other for a moment and then looked back at Jester who still seemed to think.
"Whatis that? if I can do it, then I will" Grace said, sounding curious
"I'm going to end Daniel's career and I need you to do it" replied Jester with a vengeful look, Jester's reply at the time distracting everyone who was there. As if no one objected to Jester's words, they were ready to listen to Jester's plan.
"How is it?" grece asked enthusiastically, Jester sighed.
"Daniel has a contract with Sarah under Arielle Corp, so I just need to make sure their contract gets cut as soon as possible" Jester replied calmly
"I can't interfere with the contract.." Grece explained, Jester cut back.
"Sarah has an attachment to the Werner Group to promote?" timpal Jester with a question provoked Grece to understand his point, at which time Grece realized.
"Ooh yes, by pressing Arielle Corp. then Sarah will inevitably break her contract with Daniel!" grece replied, Jester pulled out his phone and called Sarah.
***
"Yes Jester, Sarah's here" Sarah said as the phone lifted
"Sarah, I need you. Can you come to my house? actually I don't want to say this, but this time I don't want to give you a choice" Jester said in a pressuring voice
"Jester, I still have some business... Can you hold off until tomorrow?" asked Sarah in a voice that sounded a little frightened, Jester sighed.
"Yes, it's okay, I think our contract will be reconsidered" threatened Jester at that time, was silent for a moment the sound of Sarah's breath was heard.
"It looks like Gates' name is terrible yes, I've consulted with my mother and she advised me to postpone all my schedule" Sarah was forced to say, but Jester was silent when she heard Sarah's words.
"Well Jester, send me your address and I'll be there soon" Sarah said
***
Jester hung up the phone without saying anything, after which his gaze returned to Grece.
"That's how, I'm asking you to please don't go home and wait for Sarah to get here" Jester chirped, then looked back at her phone and sent Jester's home address to Sarah.
An hour and a half passed, they were still silent in the family room. Not long after the sound of the roar of the machine parked in front of the house, Selena stood up from her seat and walked to the main door of the house before Sarah knocked on the door. Sarah was surprised when Selena arrived - suddenly opened the door for him before her hand knocked, the two were silent staring at each other.
"Come in" Selena said briefly, Sarah just nodded and followed Selena into the house to the family room. The eyes of Jester, Luke, Harry, Justin and Grece were immediately fixed on Sarah who had just entered the living room behind Selena. As if the threatening air had been very radiated in the room, Sarah also felt a little fear.
"Eeeh what is this? I had nothing to do with Naomi and Daniel, it was purely Daniel's stupidity" Sarah said.
"No, I forced you here because I wanted to ask for your help" replied Jester flatly, Sarah frowning as she continued to stare at Jester.
"Decide your contract with Daniel, make it seem as if you're breaking up in the media" Jester said firmly
"But I'm still.." not done yet Sarah said, Grece cut.
"I'll break your contract with papa, I'm Werner Grece. I think you must remember me because we met several times in one event" said Grece, Sarah was silent for a while.
"I didn't think the descendants of the Gates family would do this" Sarah laughed a little, Jester was surprised to hear Sarah's words.
"What do you mean?" ask Jester with a little emotion.
"No. You were wrong, I didn't mean to insult you but I actually wanted to praise you" Sarah replied, then she sighed before starting to continue her words.
"I came here terrified of pressure from the Gates family, only Mr. Werner's son threatened me. Do you feel like I'm just a lowly person that makes you not want to carry - bring along the Gates family's big name?" sarah asked a little pressing, her eyes were fixed on Grece who was a little emotional because she felt Sarah was a bit insulting to her father's power.
"So you're not afraid I'm going to influence papa to break your contract?!" snarled Grece at that moment
"No, the break-up with Mr. Werner will have a significant impact on our long-term plans for the promotion section but that doesn't mean there are no other options. The media doesn't just belong to your family, right?" with a slightly demeaning tone Sarah said, Grece was getting emotional at that time until Justin had to intervene to calm Grece.
"So this threat can't make you move to break the contract with Daniel?" jester asked, Sarah laughed again.
"If your threat is just like this, then I want you to give me the reward you deserve" with a cynical smile Sarah said, hearing those words made Luke, Harry, Justin, Selena and Grece emotional. At once they stood looking at Sarah with angry eyes.
"If I were you, I wouldn't say that" Justin recalled Sarah's position
"You want to protect that bastard?!!" luke's snapping was full of emotion
"Shut up!!!" snapped Jester just then, the snapping made everything go silent and looked at Jester who was still sitting quietly looking at Sarah who was standing firmly without looking scared on her face.
"I did deliberately not use the name Gates because this must be kept secret from my family, besides, I also directly protected Naomi from her mother because I indirectly gave Naomi permission to meet with Daniel's family until something like this happened. Right now you're right, between you and I are still open to negotiations. How much are you asking?" jester asked firmly without further ado, but Jester's offer was laughed at by Sarah.
"Jester, your request makes me lose assets for promotion, of course it will have an impact on Arielle Corp's long-term promotional plans and it will result in millions of dollars in losses" Sarah replied, sarah's answer again provoked Luke's emotions
"You want to blackmail Jester?!!" snapped Luke at that time, but the clash even made Sarah smile at Luke.
"Jester, leave Luke to me to replace Daniel so I'll break my contract with Daniel" Sarah said, Sarah's unequivocal statement at the time shocked everyone there.
"What did you say?!! you think I'm an item?!!!" luke snapped with anger
"Yes, I'm targeting you as a company asset going forward" Sarah said
"Dammit!! I don't want to joke!!! Jester, he has no intention of fulfilling your request!" luke said with emotion
"Take it and I hope you keep your word" Jester said, and as if agreeing to Sarah's request, an emotional Luke walked over to Jester and pulled her collar violently.
"What do you think I am?!!" luke asked with a bang, but Jester threw away his face with an annoyed face.
"Rather than you kill Daniel and go to prison, doesn't a sacrifice like this make more sense to you?" jester sounded annoyed
"Stupid!! I'm not.." haven't finished snapping Luke, Sarah suddenly ran up to Luke and then pulled his arm to make Luke's gaze diverted to look at Sarah.
"You are now mine, you must obey all my words or I will not help Jester and Naomi" Sarah said, implied the line of Sarah's smile when staring at Luke to make Luke's fur was standing creepy.
"Jester!!! cancel this deal!!!" luke snapped at that moment, Jester only sighed in response to Luke's snatch.
"Let's talk about the contract!" take Sarah while pulling Luke's arm back then firmly to make Luke's hand slip from the collar of Jester's shirt, but Luke refuses firmly while holding Jester's hand.
"I'm your best friend, right? cook you could do this to me?!! turn your best friend into a transaction tool?!!" luke asked with a snapshot, Jester finally turned to look at Luke with a face that looks pity. Jester's look of compassion made Luke desperate, and he smiled at Jester.
"Jester, I can take him with me now, right?" ask Sarah in a pressing voice
"Bring up, treat as you please" replied Jester, letting go of Luke's hand, petrifyingly staring at Jester with a look of disbelief his best friend would just let him go.
"I'll remember this revenge Jester!!!!" luke snapped as he dragged Sarah's hand toward the exit
At that time Harry, Justin, Grece and Selena wanted to laugh but they were also confused whether it was appropriate for them to laugh, Jester sat back down and supported his head with both hands that he bent over his knees. Almost the same Harry, Justin, Selena and Grece were sitting, they were all staring at Jester.
"With this Daniel wouldn't have the money to pay the hospital fees right? let him feel what it means to lose, I'll keep pushing him to the point of making him want to die rather than continue to live" Jester said calmly, but all were aware of Jester's fiery anger.
"Ehem.... Jess, I better go home first. I think Grece has understood what he has to do at the moment" Justin said, Jester looked at Justin and sighed.
"I'm coming too, it looks like our business here is also done" Harry said
"Well, sorry I didn't treat you well" said Jester, then they stood up and walked out of the house. At home, they shake hands and part ways, not long Jester returned to the family room where Selena was still sitting quietly in her place.
"It seems like I am currently in charge of taking care of you for a while" Selena chirped with a smile looking at Jester who just entered the family room, Jester was surprised by Selena's curse at that time.
"What does it mean to take care?" jester asked, Selena laughed.
"Have you had lunch? definitely not yet, right? I'll cook for you, wait here" Selena replied with a smile, she walked out of the room past Jester to the kitchen to cook. Jester only looked at Selena for a while, then he went back into the family room to fall into the sofa.
Jester who was sitting on the sofa again thought about Naomi's state, the calmness in his heart still could not get. Moreover, when Naomi is looking for and just wants to be with Luna in the room, at that time Jester feels Naomi wants to stay away from her. But for now Jester feels unable to do anything and can only wait for news from Luna about Naomi's current condition.
Lunch is fairly late because it was late in the afternoon was presented to Jester and all residents of the house, on that day Selena who with self-awareness took over the task of cooking which is usually always done by Naomi and Luna. Selena excitedly calls Jester in the living room and knocks on the door to tell Luna and Naomi that lunch has been served, but only Jester appears to enter the dining room.
In the middle of lunch Jester and Selena at that time, luna who walked to the kitchen to pick up some dishes and then approached the dinner shirt to pick up some dishes that she put on the plate and then brought back to the room without a word. At that time Jester asked about Naomi's news, but Luna just smiled at Jester and then walked back without any answer. Impressed to ignore the attitude that Luna showed to Jester, but again - again Jester seemed powerless to force Luna to answer his question.
After lunch Jester walked back to the living room, while Selena was seen washing the dishes and walking to the room to gather with Luna and Naomi. Jester passed that afternoon just a fall of the sofa while pensively staring at the sky - the sky of the room, until the afternoon almost before dusk Jester still did not get any news about Naomi and it made Jester very nervous.
Several times his memory returned to Daniel who made his emotions re-ignited until it was difficult for him to stem the desire to immediately get revenge, he said, but those emotions were finally muted when he recalled about his plans that would end Daniel's career for good. The line of smiles looks a little chained to his face when he remembers he sacrificed Luke and made it as a transaction tool to negotiate with Sarah.
It did not feel like Evening changed the night, Jester left the sofa and wanted to end this Monday immediately. Jester hurried to roll out his folding mattress, closed the door connecting the living room and pool area, then immediately laid his body in a mattress to rest his physical and mind. That day Jester really could not accompany Naomi and in the midst of her efforts to sleep at that time, in her mind, she hoped that by the morning everything would start to improve and she hoped that when she opened her eyes, Naomi would be by her side.
