I know you're cheating

Ryan Edgar

Erik's chest rumbled violently when a call came into his phone this morning. Should have been, today she started taking a leave of absence considering the marriage would last three more days. However, an uncomfortable news suddenly stopped without any wind let alone rain. Varissa, is about to remove herself from the position of chief director of the company.

Erik could not sit quietly. Although he knew that he would still win, but anxiety remained in the recesses of his heart for some reason. Be honest! She doesn't want her relationship with Varissa to get worse. In fact, Erik never thought that Varissa would try to get rid of him like this.

"Mother Varissa!" peekik Delina was delighted when the figure of the woman stepped confidently towards the meeting room accompanied by Lawyer Reno.

"Delina," said Varissa smiling. His steps stopped for a moment. Hugged his schoolmate even though many other employees were watching.

"Mom, we're in the office" whispered Delina softly as she patted Varissa's back.

"Wildamah! I don't care, Del! OMG, I Miss you so much, girl!" reply Varissa.

"Me too," Delina replied with tears. "May win, yes! Fighting!" Delina clenched both her fists excitedly.

"Thank you!" nod Varissa while continuing her steps with Lawyer Reno.

Tensional. That was what Varissa felt when she first set her legs back in the meeting room that she had not been in for a very long time. All the eyes that were present there were immediately fixed on him. Erik was no exception.

"You will regret humiliating me, Va!", Erik whispered.

"We'll see you later, Mr. Erik! You or I will win!" reply Varissa is no less intimidating.

Erik growled in annoyance. He sat back in his chair with overflowing anger, not caring though some people seemed to stare a little objection to his behavior.

The vote that has gone on so far seems to favor Erik. 30 to 35 percent of the vote, is enough to make the man feel the upper hand. However, not a single hint of trepidation filled the niches of Varissa's heart. He still believes he is able to reclaim the seat he had given to a man who turned out to be insecure to guard.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

The sound of the baritone broke the tension that had been created. The man in a neat suit entered the meeting room and joined the other members of the board of directors without being disturbed even though boisterous whispers began to be heard talking about him.

How not? A famous Gisam Butena as an investor of large companies, only this time seen involved in a board meeting as it is now. It was not his style given how loathed the man was towards something he thought was too complicated.

One hand gesture from him, it was enough to make the private Secretary who had trailed behind him handed a map to the moderator who led the meeting.

"The voice for Ms. Varissa Azalea increased by 3 percent which means it increased to 33 percent!"

The whispers began to sound again. All seemed to believe that a Gisam Butena was able to give his voice to Varissa who incidentally was a woman. In fact, Gisam is notoriously less trusting of a woman to be a leader in a company.

"Change your mind, that's a natural thing, right?" gisam said he was defending. There's no comment. Everyone chose silence including Erik.

"I think the results can be announced now!" Erik's side began to attack.

"We still have to wait for two more people!" Mr. Reno interrupted.

"They won't come!" Erik's party still trying to finish the vote until here.

Shareholders standing on Varissa's side seemed to be starting to fidget. They will most likely lose if no magic shields them for now. The two people they were waiting for were two people who never showed up all this time despite anything that happened to the company. They are both figures who have never been revealed and only relate to others via email or just a phone call.

Varissa closed her eyes while bowing for a moment. Pray in your heart that the things you strive for will get satisfactory results.

"Am I late?" An old woman entered the meeting room while being swept away by a young woman. He sat right next to Varissa while spreading a simple smile at the beautiful woman.

"Oma Dhena?" guess Varissa is doubtful.

"Do you remember Oma?" The old woman chuckled and took out a map from her bag. At his request, the young woman who had broken it earlier to give the map to the moderator.

"I'm Dhena Rashanda. Give a voice to Ms. Varissa Azalea!" said the old woman while patting Varissa's shoulder slowly. Next to his eyes was pampered. As if hinting that everything is going to be okay.

Erik's fist was clenched under the table. His breath began to hunt rough. How can it be like this? How could Varissa convince a Dhena Rashanda to be present in their midst for now? Since when, did his ex-wife have that much power to shake the old woman's stubbornness? In fact, Dhena Rashanda is not typical of people who like to interfere like this.

"Position is now a draw! But, judging from some of the mistakes that Mr. Erik has made so far, it seems enough to dethrone him from his current position!"

"But, there's no evidence that all my company's funds are embezzling! Look at yourself, right?" Erik patted the paper in his hand. "This is all in the name of Mr. Sugandi. Not in my name."

Cunning. Erik is that smart. In order to avoid dismissal, he has been laundering money using his own uncle's name. Husband sister of his mother who he adopted as Director of marketing. A little money to shut up, it is enough to launch the action without having to fear the impact in the future. As long as no evidence points to it, it's all under control.

"You have no right to fire me on embezzlement charges if there is no evidence! Moreover, the number of votes that were now collected, clearly showed that I could not be treated like this. Only the largest shareholders are entitled to a dismissal of me!" erik said confidently. Because, he knew very well that the largest shareholder would never come considering that the man said he did not live in the country.

Varissa's entire body shook with anger. Stupidly he had loved Erik's slick man all along. In fact, now Erik's original color is increasingly visible. The greedy man is shameless.

"Then, with a heavy heart, I must say that you are now officially fired, Mr. Erik Evansyah!" The voice boomed as a handsome man walked into the meeting room. Although he was smiling, but his aura was enough to make the atmosphere instantly change. The wind turned back in a matter of seconds.

"Ah, introduce! I'm Ryan Edgar! 15 Percent of Good Food Corporation!" said the man introduced himself as all eyes seemed to question who he was. With the exception of Gisam Butena and Dhena Rashanda. The two people looked ordinary and even nodded their heads in greeting.

The moderator received the map that the man gave him with trembling hands. When matching all the company data with the data that the man brought, the moderator officially announced that the man was right Ryan Edgar. The biggest shareholder who's just the first time everyone's seen.

"So, how? Isn't Father Erik now able to accept this dismissal with a chest?"

Erik was stuck in his chair. The entire joint that was attached to his body was as if numb. Inutile. What did he just hear? He was fired? More so by that guy?

"Dictated?" erik muttered in disbelief.

The man nodded. "Yes, I am Pradikta Anantavirya. The adopted son of Mr. Hadi Ananta who for the last 7 years changed his name as Ryan Edgar during his stay in Amsterdam."

Not only the members of the board of directors were surprised. Varissa too. His jaw even almost fell when he found out who the largest shareholder in the company. She's not. Not even Erik. Except, Dikta.
