Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 9

Erlita was happy to prank Nafan, at least the man so knew how much money to spend at the cafe. He laughed happily.

Nafan returned to the car with a lethargic face.

“We have dinner first.” Erlita set the map on her dashboard to a famous expensive luxury restaurant.

“Why not eat at home? You must be happy if you can eat together.”

“No! it's my schedule for dinner outside so I have to go there.”

***

Erlita ordered many food menus that might be eaten by eight to ten people. Nafan's appetite is lost imagining how many more installments he will pay next month.

Erlita was happy to see Nafan's restless face. He was sure that the man was thinking about how to pay for all the food he ordered.

“Come to eat! How about it?”

Nafan tried to eat the food that felt like a thorn in his throat. He resigned. He is a responsible man. Despite having to save money because his salary next month runs out to pay the installments, he must still pay it.

Nafan immediately finished his meal. Suddenly, Erlita saw a very greedy figure because she spent all the food she ordered greedily. He was sure that Nafan must have never eaten such a delicious meal. Though Nafan tried hard to spend it all because he did not want to feel too disappointed to have to pay expensive installments for food thrown away in vain.

After she finished eating, Erlita immediately walked out of the restaurant, while Nafan went to the waiter to ask for a bill.

“Sorry Sir, you don't have to pay. The bill will be directly we put in the monthly bill as usual.”

“What?”

The waiter smiled. He was sure that Nafan must not know the Susbihardayan family well.

While Erlita just smiled to see the naivety of Nafan. At least that day he felt comforted because he managed to prank Nafan. This is just the beginning and he will be preparing more scenarios to give the man of the village a lesson.

That night Nafan had trouble sleeping. In addition to thinking about his money floating in vain and useless, also thinking about how he will take care of Erlita in the future. He did not want to forever be a parasite in the mansion, but he was also not sure if he could afford a girl with such a lifestyle.

In addition, Dean was also very disturbing Nafan's thoughts. He was sure the man had bad intentions towards Erlita. Even if not, the man still does not know himself because he casually seduces the wife of the person in the presence of her own husband.

Nafan immediately looked for his logic back, for what he felt humiliated or humbled by Erlita and Dean's closeness. They had been dating long before she married Erlita. And the fact that their marriage meant nothing to both of them was the main reason why Nafan should not interfere in Erlita's personal affairs.

He only had to take a guard position because that was what his grandmother wanted from their marriage, keeping Erlita from people who wanted to harm her. Although for that time, he was not sure who the people who wanted to harm Erlita were.

“Bram, please take care of Lita's needs immediately at the office.”

“But, Mom, it's not too early to get Lita to work. He hasn't even finished his studies.”

“Bram, Lita is twenty years old and also married. I don't want him working around outside like Jihan, or always shutting himself up in a room like Johan or not working at all like Kenny.”

“Bu! Kenny doesn't want to work. It was just that the work in the office was too troublesome for him. I'm worried that he'll be exhausted and sick.” Sergey Sania does not accept his favorite son compared to others.

“Then why don't you accompany Kenny to work in the office. That way the company does not need to constantly recruit new people from outside.”

“But Mom, I don't even know how to turn on the computer and can't even go to the mall for shopping. How can I accompany Kenny to work all day at the office?”

“Then, why don't you just work at the mall? Can you manage it while shopping?” prasetyo asked, the husband who had long wanted a mall owned by the Susbihardayan family. “Betul right Bu?”

“Mall should only be managed by people who understand how to stay away from money and shopping. You guys are obviously incompetent with that criterion.” Pratiwi replied ketus and firmly.

“Then, What if mom let me try it.” bargain Farah take advantage of the opportunity. “Mother knows very well that I rarely go out of the house and do not like to shop.”

“You can't even take good care of your two children. How could you possibly take care of such a big mall?” Pratiwi finished his breakfast.

“Nafan, can you come with Eyang for a moment?”

“You see how much everyone wants everything I have?” Pratiwi opened the curtains of his study. Among them all is simply Lite who is not interested in managing the company.”

“But instead he lectures business management to—“

“To manage his own business. He refused to take care of the family business. But that's exactly what made me believe that was the only person I could hope for and rely on. When still High School Lita pioneered the business of funding institutions for underprivileged community businesses with two friends. But because of lack of experience and just rely on feelings, Lita actually spent all her capital for charity. Since then, he has been determined to study business so that he can build his own company and compete with the Susbihardayan group. Do you know what Lita looks like? He wouldn't be able to do anything without an escort like you.”

Nafan did not understand why Pratiwi expected such a big thing from an ordinary public servant like him. There was no way the rich granny knew about her background.

Pratiwi then sat in his favorite chair behind the table against the window.

“Erlita grew up as a child who lacked affection because she lost both her parents at a very young age. Therefore, I hope that you can help him become more human. No longer like a robot girl who only knows how to spend my money.”

They laugh together, laughing at Erlita, the money-sucking robot.
