It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.83 Where are you, Nda?

"Boss, Mr. Roland has arrived at the meeting room." said Erwin informed the arrival of investors from Uncle Sam's country.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." said Gathan steadily as he grabbed the files on the table and greeted Erwin to bring them.

It did not take long, Gathan and Erwin have now been in the meeting room TJ Group. Mr. Roland and his assistant greeted Gathan with respect. It did not take long, they also began to discuss investment proposal that had previously been agreed on by both parties.

After the meeting, they also had a little chat while eating lunch in a restaurant. Without a doubt Mr. Roland shares his experience and the tricks of developing an investment that turns out to be quite attractive to Gathan. Gathan was very happy to get knowledge about the development of the world of investment in the land of Uncle Sam.

"Oh yes, Mr. Gathan, usually in other companies, every time I work with clients, they always provide women to keep me company, but you don't seem to do that. Even your assistant and secretary are also men, do you have any abnormalities?" ask Mr. Roland relax. In foreign countries, indeed they tend to be outspoken in saying anything. Including Mr. Roland adheres to western customs.

Erwin then turned to Gathan, wondering what his boss would answer.

"Previously sorry Mr. Roland, our company does not take such an approach. We purely want to show the quality of our company, not through such means. It's not that I'm not normal, it's that I'm normal. But, one, our religion forbids exploiting women let alone being a slave and two, because I want to keep my wife's trust." said Gathan firmly without any doubt.

It is no secret indeed, every big company sometimes utilizes comfort women to smooth their plans. They are deliberately hired to entertain big bosses so as not to hesitate in pouring investment funds.

"Hmmm .. You seem to be a very principled man, I like that. I'm sorry if my question bothers you." she said with an unkind smile.

"No problem. Sorry if we were less able to serve you here."

"No, no, no. You guys have been good enough at my service. Hah, hearing the words wife, I also miss my wife. Then excuse me sir, I want to go back to the hotel immediately and contact my wife. It seems, from now on I should appreciate my wife more."

"All right, then. Thank you for your cooperation." said Gathan in English.

Just now Mr. Roland and his personal assistant walked out of the restaurant where they had lunch, suddenly a call came from his cell phone. Gathan took the phone from his pocket and frowned as he read the caller's name. Quickly, Gathan immediately raised the call. His chest suddenly thumped violently when he heard the words from his personal driver.

"Hello sir." said Mr. Tarno with a voice that sounded vibrating like being anxious.

"Yes, hello. What's up sir? Have you been on your way to the office?" gathan asked as he looked at the watch circling his wrist.

Gathan frowned when he heard Mr. Tarno's apology.

"What's up, sir? Did something happen to you?" gathan asked, getting anxious.

"It's not us, sir. But ... but madam ... when I picked up was no longer home. Surti said earlier, there was a car that had first picked up the mistress just a few moments before I arrived. Surti thought it was the master's invitation so he let it go. So I tried to pursue hoping I could still find the car but it turned out, I did not find it." explained Pak Tarno was anxious and felt guilty.

"Why can Mr Tarno be late to pick him up? Didn't I ask you to pick up my wife an hour ago." said Gathan a little up. He is worried and upset at the moment. He was afraid something happened to his wife especially when Nanda was pregnant with her child. Of course he was very worried about her.

"Sorry sir, I .. I was somehow able to suddenly fall asleep in the car" said Mr. Tarno honestly mixed with guilt.

"How can you?"

"I .. I don't know sir. All of a sudden my eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep unconsciously."

Various conjectures revolved around Gathan's mind. Inwardly, Gathan hoped that nothing would happen to Nanda.

"Well, I tried to call my wife first. I wait for your explanation later." said Gathan with a cold face

Without caring about Erwin who was still standing next to him, Gathan also tried to contact Nanda but after several tries, the call was not lifted making Gathan more upset.

'Where are you, Nda? Hope nothing happens to you.' muttered Gathan riled.
