JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

RICHARD'S OFFER

That night Richard invited Evan to his house. Evan was asked directly to Richard's office. Because it was common in the house Evan went straight to Richard's workroom. While in Richard's study, Evan saw Aluna's door open. He glanced at it while continuing to walk. It brought his memories with Aluna a glimpse back. She vaguely recalled Aluna's joy, the sound of Aluna's laughter when she was with him first. There was a faint smile as he recalled that back. Evan momentarily regained his senses as to why he was going to that house. He continued his journey to Richard's room.

Not long before Evan arrived in front of Richard's room, the door was large enough that Evan knocked a few beats to sound someone from the inside with a heavy sound typical Richard. Evan immediately entered the very spacious and luxurious work room with slow steps and a little hesitating.

Everything is neat and clean there. A very classy workspace typical of Richard style. Expensive leather sofa, sturdy teak wood workbench. Very classy elegant style.

"Hhhh you've come?" greet Richard immediately got up from his desk and moved to the sofa which also allowed Evan to sit on the sofa in his study with him. Evan immediately followed Richard's steps to sit down after being pardoned.

After they both sat down Richard started with his chatter with mild pleasantries before he began to say his intent and purpose inviting Evan to his residence. Richard was very kind to Evan. Since Evan and Aluna's divorce, Richard has shown no change in his attitude towards Evan. He still always considered Evan as his favorite daughter-in-law. That's how Richard is, it's hard to like other people but if he likes it he's also hard to forget.

"Genee ... Daddy wants you to work for Daddy's company. So it seems like now is the right time. You are not working anymore. Next Monday you come to Daddy's company. But come here first. We go together. Daddy wants you to be Daddy's deputy. Later if you already understand the company, then you take over the company," said Richard began to express his intentions and goals to make Evan shocked and silent for a while. Remembering she's not Aluna's husband anymore. Evan looked at Richard. Frankly, he didn't expect Richard to say that.

"But, Dad ...," said Evan, hesitating and difficult to answer Richard's offer directly.

"Daddy knows you're the same Aluna's divorced. But it's a professional job, Van. Daddy wants to hire professionals like you. You are able because that daddy offers you," said Richard while sucking his expensive cigar.

Evan was silent for a moment. He can't make a decision now. Richard's decision was quite a shock.

"I'll ask you first, Dad," said Evan still hesitant.

"ok ... Daddy wait 3 days for your decision" Richard said, giving Evan time to consider it. "As you know, Daddy's interested in recruiting you, not because of Aluna. But because Daddy knows you're talented. You are persistent, diligent, the focus of the person at work. So it suits you to replace Daddy. What's more your responsible nature is what daddy likes the most. If the work is we must have a strong mentality like you gini. That's why daddy is interested in recruiting you," added Richard trying to believe Evan. Evan smiled faintly as he nodded.

...***...

After meeting Richard Evan straight to Brian's place. He met Brian at his apartment straight away. Alice was there with Brian.

"How do you think?" evan asked Brian, he asked Brian for consideration as a person who is very experienced in this matter.

"I think Mr. Richard is a professional, he knows what he's doing. He is notoriously loud and firm, he will not be careless in making decisions. He also asks you directly, which means he sees great potential in you. So there's nothing wrong with being accepted" said Brian.

"Yes, Van. Richard was in business never carelessly. Just accept. Instead of you working with others, not necessarily they can give you a chance like this," said Alice to support Evan working with Richard. Evan seemed to start thinking.not long Sushi their order came to make their conversation stop for a moment. Alice immediately served it and they ate it together.

Now that Alice and Brian are unmarried, they want to wait until Alice's mother is completely healed and Alice's sister finishes their new graduation. Their relationship is quite serious. It was seen from Brian who began to prepare everything for the two of them in the future. Including their plans to build a house that is now in the process of work.

"What makes you doubt?" brian asked back to their conversation.

" luna. I am scared ... Don't know it ... Clearly this has something to do with him. I am afraid that it will affect my work in the future. What if he was married. Doesn't her husband mind me that in fact his ex-husband takes care of her business, so?!" evan said while playing his sushi before he ate. Then he rubbed his own face.

"I think I'm... As long as you are professional, there will be no problems. Unless you're still a paperan. That's just a problem" Alice said as she ate her sushi.

"Yes, if you look at the tape anyway. "laughter Brian, making Evan upset and throwing him with Sushi packs and small kicks. Brian and Alice just laughed at Evan's reaction.

Evan is typical of people who are free-spirited, do not like revenge. Therefore he had never brought up his problems with Brian in the past, until they could make good friends at this time. Except for what her father and mother did over the years, it did leave Evan traumatized. Until now, he was not very comfortable in the house. But his conscience loves his father very much, which keeps him at home.

Arriving at home he greeted Rima.

"Have eaten!?" ask Rima kindly.

"Udah was at Brian's place, eating Sushi. So already full," said Evan while holding his stomach that feels very bega because of the satiety.

Rima is now very attentive to Evan. He knew now that Evan was a lot of burden on his mind, so he was paying more attention to Evan right now.

As Rima accepts Evan's existence she begins to realize how pure Evan's heart is. It is fitting that many people like him and only he who was blind of his soul at that time to the point of ignoring a child as good as this.

Rima was always stunned when she remembered how bad she had been in the past towards this handsome, intelligent man. But Evan never brought up the problem, Evan seemed to think it never happened. That's what makes Rima love Evan even more.

"Which father?!" evan asked to throw Rima daydream.

"There's in the middle room. Whyyy?! Is there another problem?!" ask Rima worried. Because usually Evan will look for his father if he is facing problems.

"No. Just, there's something I want to talk about," said Evan who made Rima curious. So he follows Evan who is heading to his father's place. There Vishnu was talking with Tama.

"Eh, you're home!" greet Father. Evan just nodded with a smile and sat down next to Tama.

"Bah! There's something I want to talk about" Evan said, starting their conversation.

"What?!" his father began to listen seriously. Because Evan rarely wants to talk seriously.

"Daddy Aluna nawarin I made a job at his place," said Evan hesitated.

"Good donk. It's a big company. Papa also has a position for you in the company. The position of manager is empty" said his father who also offered.

"The thing is he wants me to replace him, but not now. He said learn first. I was the branch director first. But ... Am I worthy?! What if Aluna has a husband?! Will her husband accept that her in-laws' assets are handled by someone else!" evan explained his concerns.

"If Richard asks for it. That means he has strong and clear considerations. He knows you, your abilities. He must have just demonstrated. So just accept it" his father's advice supports.

Evan remains still worried, he is afraid it is difficult to forget Aluna if she is still in the neighborhood of Aluna. But it's hard to come up with that reason.

Evan just smiled wryly not too satisfied.

"Richard is a great entrepreneur, who has experience. You trust him the same. You work there. Papa will also help you, there is also a Tama mas behind you. Brian can also help you," his father once again assured.

Evan seemed to be still thinking. He felt as if he could not escape the world of Aluna completely when he had avoided it with all his might, but this time he seemed to be dragged back. He continued to think in his solitude until finally he fell asleep with the night getting late.

SERIATE...
