"Om Ardi, I approached your daughter with no ill intentions. I just want to repay her kindness because she helped me yesterday." Arsa quickly explained to Papa Naira.
"But Nayra said you didn't have to pay her so you could leave." Papa Naira's hand waved as if beckoning Arsa to leave her and her daughter. Ardi is very confident that Arsa wants to get close to Naira. As a father, of course Ardi knew that and he had to protect his son. A lot of men have been wanting to get close to Naira lately, so Mr. Ardi is just in case.
"Oh my God, this shabby-clothed man like you dared to approach Naira? "the voice of Arogan was heard from behind Arsa. As Arsa turned around, she saw a young man with a luxurious watch and his face that looked completely arrogant. Yes, he puffed his chest.
"Vincent...? " said Naira and Mr. Ardi upon seeing the man. It was obvious that the expressions on their faces had both changed.
Arsa frowned at what the young man had just said. 'Males in very shabby clothes'. It was clear what the man said was addressed to him. The man named Vincent Pratama approached Arsa and Naira in an instant.
"Where did this village boy come from. Get out of here, Naira doesn't deserve to be the same trash as you." Vincent looked at Arsa with a disgusted look. Then he looked at Naira again.
" Naira, I heard that you came here to talk to Kendi group about cooperation today. I want to ask, is the deal you talked about done? " Vincent put both his hands in his pants pocket. The man looks so arrogant. It was as if he was able to make everything good.
"Vincent, I'm sure this is none of your business. This business is not just yours" Naira said with a forced-looking smile.
"Kok you said it's none of my business. You are my future lover." Vincent smiled meaningfully.
"Vincent, don't just talk." Mr. Ardi interrupts the conversation between Naira and Vincent.
"Om Ardi Why don't you like me so much. I'm here to help your family's company." Vincent said with a smile.
"If I had guessed, the group jug wouldn't have worked together in your company. And if you don't get this partnership, your company will soon go bankrupt. But don't worry, I can help you. But as long as Naira promises to be my girlfriend, I'll let my Papa help you" Vincent said haughtily.
"Help? Are you crazy for your words so high? " suddenly Arsa interrupted the conversation of the people who were in front of him. Hearing what Arsa said, Vincent turned away from Naira and his father and looked at Arsa with a sharp gaze.
"What did you say? Do you know who I am? " Say Vincent.
"Arsa, stop. You can't mess with him." Naira said as she pulled Arsa's sleeve. Although they don't know each other, Arsa does all this for Naira's sake. Arsa doesn't want Naira to get hurt because of Vincent.
"Oh." Arsa smiled meaningfully. He was sure there was no one in Surabaya City that he could not get angry with. Actually Arsa does not want to care about Vincent or his family.must be sure that Vincent is not better than him. After all, Arsa is the grandson of the richest man in Indonesia.
"Very interesting." Arsa murmured in the heart.
"Young man, he is the son of a Kendi group shareholder in Surabaya City" Ardi told Arsa.
"Shareholder's son?" Arsa frowned a little. He did not expect this man in front of him to be the son of a shareholder of his own company.
"Oh, shareholder's son, huh? And... What makes you feel so arrogant?" Arsa scoffed at Vincent. Vincent was furious at Arsa's provoking remarks.
"Hey, how dare you talk to me like that? You're looking for things with me, huh? Are you tired of living? " Vincent points his fist at Arsa. Mr. Ardi immediately moves to stop Vincent from hitting Arsa.
"Vincent, we're at a party held by a group pitcher. If you hit someone here, then you've been disrespectful to the new group's jug leader. If this matter were to become big, then even your father would not be able to explain to the new leader even if he pleads." Mr. Ardi was very thoughtful.heard what the middle-aged man said, Vincent listened and he was a little calm.
"Broast, but not brained." Arsa said again. Because Vincent heard what Mr. Ardi said earlier, he was not provoked by Arsa's remarks just now even though anger had really mastered it. He did not want to cause trouble at the party because if it happened, his father would not be able to accept the consequences that would be given by the Kendi Group.
"That's lucky for you. I'm not gonna solve the problem with you right now. But when the party's over, I'll teach you a lesson because you've dared to offend me." Vincent said it all on a high note. Then he looked towards Naira.
" Naira, think again about what I said to your father. Be my lover, and I will help you. If you don't want to do what I say, I'll make sure your company gets destroyed." after saying it all, he turns around and leaves Arsa and the others.
Arsa looked at the figure of Vincent who was slowly leaving with his cold smile.
"I will also give you something valuable because you also dare to offend me." muttered Arsa.
"That's why you're too brave. His father Vincent is one of the shareholders in the Surabaya branch group jug. We can't mess with what he has to say." Naira said worriedly. For Arsa, the status of shareholders and in the Surabaya branch group may not be a big problem. But for Naira, Vincent is a scary figure for her.
"Yes, you better get out of here." Naira nodded while saying. Naira finds out that Arsa is defending herself, which is why the new guy she knows is having trouble with Vincent. And of course, Naira doesn't want Arsa to get into trouble because of this. His conscience cannot accept that.
"Don't worry, I don't care about Vincent." Arsa smiled in an indifferent manner while shrugging her shoulders.
"You said you didn't care about Vincent? Young man, you are so arrogant." Mr. Ardi could not help but shake his head in astonishment at Arsa's bravery. Although he was not an appearance expert, he still had the ability to judge a person's status from his appearance. From his judgment, Arsa is not comparable to Vincent. But he still appreciates others even though he thinks the person is not a rich person.
"Oh yeah, by the way, you just said you wanted to work with Kendi Grub. Maybe I can help you." Arsa offers to Mr. Ardi.
"You don't make fun of me, young man. You can't help me with this." Mr. Ardi shook his head unconvinced.
"Om Ardi, I'm sure I can help you. Later you will know why I can say this" said Arsa with a meaningful smile.
After a while, Fendi walked onto the stage.
"The show will start in a few minutes. Dear guests, please return to your seats." Fendi announced. The guests followed what Fendi said. Mr. Ardi turned to Arsa again.
"Young man, that's all I can tell you. You have to think about what's good for yourself." After that, Mr. Ardi pulled Naira's arm towards the predetermined table.
"Arsa, why didn't you tell them you were the new leader of Kendi Grub? " Adit asked curiously.
"People don't trust me every time I say it. But don't worry, they'll know in the end." Reply Arsa calmly.
Guests seats are arranged, sorted by status. Those who sat at the front meant his status was extremely high, in contrast to those who sat at the back. People like Vincent sit closer to the stage. He sat in the second row of seats with his father. Meanwhile, Naira and her papa sat in the back row. He sat on a chair while observing the crowd. Naira didn't see Arsa that was worried.
"He seems to have left." Naira breathed a sigh of relief. Likewise with papa Naira, Iya looks calm when she does not see Arsa there.
"It's a good thing he's self-conscious. Leaving the party is the wisest choice." Mumbled Mr. Ardi. He smiled wryly as he looked towards his daughter.
"Isn't this a very ironic thing, Nai. We don't have the power to protect ourselves, but we still worry about the safety of others." Her speech. Naira nodded in response to the father.
At the same time, on the stage, Fendi held a microphone in his hand.
" Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. We know you're all looking forward to meeting with the new chairman Kendi Grub." Some of the invited guests present there nodded. Almost everyone who attended the party had never seen the face of the new leader of the Surabaya branch of the Group. That's the main reason for the party today. An event was held officially to inform these people of the New leadership.
There were some guests who had previously met the leader in the party hall, but they did not know if it was the leader of Kendi Grub.
"We do not want to make you all more curious about the presence of a new leader. Please welcome the new leader with a standing ovation." said Fendi from the stage. The invited guests immediately applauded loudly for the announcement they had been waiting for. Everyone looked at the stage with unblinking eyes.
"The new leader of the grub jug will finally take the stage." Said an invited guest.
"I heard this new leader is very young." On the invitation seat, especially in the second row, Vincent put down his phone and set his gaze on the stage . His father glanced at him.
"Vincent, when the new leader finishes his speech later, he will definitely come down and immediately join the guests for a toast. You have to keep your good attitude. Do not offend the new leader. Do you understand what Papa said? " said Vincent's father who knows very well if his son is usually arrogant and often makes trouble with others.
"Don't worry Pah, I'll be nice in front of the new leader later." Vincent reassured his father with a smile.
While in the back seat, Nina and her father clapped their hands while gazing towards the stage.
"Finally I'll see the face of the new leader Kendi of the group. I am looking forward to this moment." Nina said with a hopeful expression.
And at another table, Naira and her Papa's gaze was fixed on the stage as well. Naira instantly realizes something, that the one who went up on stage is Arsa. The invited guests applauded festively, as a male figure walked slowly onto the stage.
