JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

Before the storm

Tok Tok tok sounds of knocking from outside Anton's room door.

"Now.."

"Sir.."

"Paul's.. What about your job of taking over assets in the name of the Baskoro extended family?" Anton asked casually and put the laptop that had been on his thigh on the table.

"Everything is going well, sir.. The assets owned by Mrs Belinda Stary over the Baskoro company we have got all of 30%.. The other shareholders sold their shares simultaneously because of the news of the arrest of several people on the cruise ship that made the company branch a little shake from the inside so they wanted to sell their shares there with price anything. With that incident, we quickly moved 20% of its shares.. Currently the total shares we have are 50% while the Fiktor has 30%.." Obviously Paul.

"Who is the other 20% shareholder?" Ask Anton curiously.

"This.. The owner of this stock is Anonymous sir.. I mean some of these 20% shareholders I have been to, but the owner is just a waiter or gardener. Even when I declared that I wanted to buy the shares they had, they were shocked and immediately expelled me." Obviously Paul.

"Ah.. Then you don't have to bother them anymore. Looks like he's just as purposeful as we don't want to take over the Baskoro family." Anton.

"Wouldn't it be a difficulty and a danger for us if we want to master the shares sir?" Ask Paul again.

"You don't have to worry about that.. You better keep an eye on Belinda. I'm sure he will definitely sell the shares of the other properties on Baskoro's behalf. If you get a chance, take over." Anton said he ruled.

"Yes sir.." Paul said quickly.

"Sir.." Paul is doubtful.

"What's wrong?" Anton is confused by Paul's attitude.

"In country X it's been a bit of a mess especially after the arrest of some influential people on that cruise ship. In addition, the success of the fashion show and the brand that Miss Alice participated in, made her face in almost all magazines this week and billboard screens in large malls and highways. I'm worried if it'll harm Miss Alice." Obviously Paul.

"What's? How come?" Anton did not believe it.

"Close all media and replace it with another!" Anton's orders.

"Sorry that's impossible sir.. In country X we don't have much to do with advertising and film. Besides, we're far too late to realize it. Sorry my master is negligent." Paul said regretfully.

"Prepare everything before the storm." Anton said ambiguously but understood Paul and the man nodded.

"Haishis.. There's something this hot about why you just told me! Haish! Then where is the girl now? Didn't I tell some guards to protect her from afar?" Said Anton again.

"Miss Alice is now in the mall not far from her home. He met both of your sisters-in-law there." Obviously Paul.

"Huh? Whahuh? What are my two sisters-in-law doing?" Anton asked confusedly.

"It seems ordinary sir. Eating gossip and shopping." Paul explained.

"Is he good.." Said Anton curious about the state of the girl.

"It's mister.." Paul handed over his tablet featuring a picture of Alice smiling brightly and very happily with his two sisters-in-law.

'Looks like you're so happy, baby.. I'm too worried about you. But it seems to me my worries are unfounded. I'm glad you're happy.' Inner Anton.

"Are they still there?" Anton asked again but his eyes and hands still rubbed the tablet screen.

"Madam Amanda and Sicily have returned home and returned to the main residence. While Miss Alice..." Paul was silent for a moment and continued his words.

"Miss Alice is currently together with Galih.. The man has also spent the night at Miss Alice's house." Paul explained and Anton stopped his finger on the screen when he saw a photo of the man holding Alice into the house as the girl slept in his car.

"Yourf..." Anton breathed his breath rough.

"Paul! Let me alone first!" Anton said coldly. Paul understood and immediately left his master's room.

Bruckkk!! Anton threw his body on the sofa hard and put away the sofa cushions in the direction of annoyance. The man broke down his body and closed his eyes with his elbow.

She's jealous! Of course he was very jealous! She was angry yet what pissed her off was that she could do nothing to let her girl be together in the arms of another man.

Want to let go of the arm of a man who dared to touch his girl but what right? He was the man who had taken away the girl's father and mother. If he does that, it's not the same as taking away the girl's happiness again.

The jealousy! Powerless with the situation! Makes it more frustrating.

A crystal of liquid dripped between the man's eyes with the reflection of the light of the lamp in his room.

"I miss you...."

***

"What do you want for dinner?" Galih asked as they had stayed away from the men's clothing store which made her even more annoyed and embarrassed that not being able to retaliate against Alice instead made her even more misbehavioral.

"Emhh what if ramyeon?" Answer Alice quickly.

"certain.. Let's go upstairs.." Said the man and unconsciously still clasped the girl's hand. Alice did not realize it and continued to follow the man to the counter of the food they wanted to eat.

Alice and Galih chose to sit next to a window facing the parking lot that began to crowded visitors.

The two of them chose some variety of noodle food and did not forget Galih ordered Patbingsoo for Alice. Patbingsoo is a typical Korean food desert with red bean shaved ice with the addition of ice cream toppings, cold yougurt, sweet condensed milk syrup, fruits, gelatin, rice cakes and cereal crumbs.

The waiter immediately records and makes an order for them. Not how long the waiter came by bringing along some of their orders.

"Woe.. I'm hungry." Alice said quickly as the food was placed in front of her desk.

"You're always hungry.. Didn't you eat ice cream earlier?" Ask Galih.

"That's different.. It was digested because it went around. Now my energy is drained and I need more food." The girl said cheerfully and ready with chopsticks in her hands.

Alice greedily ate Jjampong which is a spicy noodle soup served with a variety of vegetables and complete seafood, namely shrimp, shellfish and octopus.

While Galih chose kalguksu or knife noodles because the manufacturing technique is cut flat and thin with a knife. The noodle broth is made from a decoction of shellfish, dried anchovies and seaweed.

Galih who saw Alice greedily picking up her noodles, the man smiled and then offered her noodles for the girl to taste.

"l.. Want to try my noodles?" Asked the man to interrupt eating gadia.

"Emh.. Want.. Want to.." He said and then opened his mouth wide. Instead of taking the noodles with chopsticks and putting them in Alice's mouth, she did not forget that the man also took the soup and put it in the girl's mouth.

"Enak.." Said Alice and then continued eating her noodles.

Galih who saw that smiled and then continued eating just like Alice. They talked and talked on the sidelines of dinner. Happiness emanated from Alice's pretty face, and Galih liked it.

Seriate....
