LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

20. Daydreams

Monday is the most annoying day. I don't know who gave me that nickname the first time. But the truth is, there are many reasons that make the mood can be bad on Monday.

Like someone sitting behind his desk at the moment, he's been there since early in the morning when the dark still graced the sky. Even the Garayudha Company's corporate office was still quiet and silent, there were only 4 Security people who had not changed guard shifts. While everyone is still getting ready to start an activity or it could be that there is still a roll in the blanket, the Young CEO and loyal Assistant are already struggling with a pile of paper towering on the table, it almost covered half of his body. To the extent that makes an Office Boy surprised to see the Big Boss has preceded him.

On the table is a cup of warm coffee and untouched bread. The CEO was still busy flipping through the paper and reading with a serious face.

At 8.00 am, from outside, the voices of employees began to arrive.

Sonya entered with a tab in her hand, walked and stopped right in front of the President's desk and then bowed half the body.

" Good morning sir,..I permit to convey some of your work agenda today ", he said while mentioning and moving the index finger to shift the tab screen.

Gavino saw Sonya, she just kept quiet and listened while playing the pen of La Modernista Diamonds Caran dAche in her hand. Pens made of expensive materials and coated with silver. In addition, this pen is also made of 18 carat gold and equipped with diamonds and rubies. with a price of Rp 3.5 billion. This pen is the pen left by the Papa, so every time Gavino will sign an important file he will scratch with this pen ink.

" That's it, sir, and about 1 hour of meeting with the company PT Adi Cipta Nusantara".

"Then I resign sir".

Gavino only responded with a nod of his head and resumed signing the unfinished files.

1 hour later, Sean entered Gavino's room holding multiple bidding file maps with clients.

" Sorry sir, the meeting room is ready and the PT. Adi Cipta Nusantara is also already there."

" Emmm ". Gavino got out of his chair and grabbed the suit hanging on Handcraft.

"Have you prepared all the documents ?. Gavino asked while wearing a suit and tidying up a slightly loosened tie.

" It's mister". lifts the map that he has responded to.

The two of them walked through the corridor and entered the elevator on the seventh floor of the 52nd floor right where the meeting room was. Gavino walked out ahead of Sean, Sean slightly ran after Gavino and then with a swift hand turned the meeting room door handle and let Gavino in.

Gavino strode with a dashing, flat and haughty face never separated from him. Fresh perfume aroma blend of Spices, Sage, Citrus, and rosemary. in the early stages will smell bergamot and sea notes, then will feel the aroma of geranium, rosemary, and sage, and , the latter scented patchouli and incense that came out of his body. People can already guess who came without having to see his form.

The people who were there immediately stood up when they saw Gavino coming along with Sean.

" Good morning everyone "

"Morning is also Mr. Gavino" they replied with a smile.

" Please Sit back ". Gavino let her sit in the main seat, remaining expressionless.

"So we just start the percentage" Sean told the business partners.

The atmosphere in the meeting room is quite conducive, everything runs smoothly without any obstacles, the client agrees to continue cooperation between their companies. Gavino always succeeds in big projects, it can be said that he never fails. He can always convince every client until it ends with a contract of cooperation as it is today.

" Thank you Mr. Gavino, we are very satisfied with the results of his presentation, judging from any aspect it looks like this will be very profitable for us". Sired. Grandi smiled with satisfaction.

" Together Mr. Agung, hopefully our cooperation will continue, not only for this time but in the future also ", said Gavino added.

" It must be ".

" Then we resign, Mr. Gavino, thank you and congratulations on this partnership once again". they shook hands and all left the meeting room that had been there for almost 5 hours.

...****************...

After lunch, Gavino was still preoccupied with a few more meetings either in his own company or already making appointments elsewhere. It did not feel like the day had shown at 7pm, Gavino had just finished a meeting with a client from Singapore. He returned to the Garayudha Company company, walking through the empty corridor because all the employees had gone home, there was only Sonya who was still sitting with the focus of her seat.

Gavino stops in front of Sonya, which Sean follows from behind. Making Sonya stand straight down.

" You just go home, there's no need to overtime tonight". Gavino said as he walked into his room.

Sonya who heard that was surprised, I don't know which demon made a Gavino let her go home first. Usually Gavino will ask Sonya to stay in place until Gavino finishes all his work even though the time has shown at 10 pm, Gavino does not care.

But this time, Sonya was like getting a durian collapsed in the middle of the day. Sonya carved her smile with her thick split lips.

Without wasting any more time, Sonya hurriedly tidied up the table and snatched her jacket and bag, she immediately ran away, afraid that her young master would change his mind and would tell her to overtime until the morning again with Sean.

Sean who was still standing there just looked at Sonya who was running happy.

Gavino had been sitting in his chair, his neck tie had been loosened, the suit had slipped off the body, Legan's shirt had been rolled up to the elbow. Today's work is very draining because it has to go back and forth from the company out and back again. Gavino was silent, his eyes looking out the window right next to his desk. The sparkling lights of vehicles and buildings make the night atmosphere beautiful. Gavino was fixated for a moment, his memory sending a signal warning his mother's speech the other day.

" Mommy, I just want to know what makes it so hard for you to accept Stevani, she's a nice girl here".

" Cih...Good girl you said, she was....!! ah, my mom doesn't have solid evidence to make you realize who the real woman is". Gavino knitted his brows, puzzled by the word' proof '.

" What does mami mean, what evidence and what kind of girl does Stevani according to mami ?" his insistence was more curious.

" Mami doesn't need to explain anything, because she doesn't deserve to be the Pradikas family's daughter-in-law. If Alm. your father were alive, he would have done the same thing, like his current mother".

" But I love her mi, I want to marry her soon". Gavino tries to hold both of her mother's hands but is taken for granted by Calina's mistress.

" Gavino's..Gavino., try to open your eyes wide!! she is a snake woman, until at any time will never turn into a butterfly".

" Do you think, has he ever told you about his family?, has he ever tried to introduce you to his parents?, never ".

"Mommy's Waggot ?." Madame Calina starts to get emotional facing Gavino who has been blinded by love.

Gavino was stunned to hear the narration from his mother, it is true that until now Gavino had met the Stevani family, only the photo of his father that Stevani had given. But his ego is back again, Gavino stays on his feet.

" i don't care about everything you say.

" If you stick to your stance alright..!".

" mommy will also stick to the establishment of mami."

" If you dare to marry that woman, my mother will cross your name from the mami's list of heirs, and you must leave the Pradesh family." Madam Calina passed away leaving Gavino who was still glued to the spot.

Deg*

Gavino was still trying to digest every word she said "Why did mommy do this to me, why is mommy so selfish?". her great-granddaughter slid with her jaw hardened.

A knock at the door woke Gavino from his daydream.

" Sorry sir, it's 11pm now, do you want to go home now ?". Sean was wary of waiting for Gavino's answer, if Gavino said he did not go home then it is certain Sean will sleep in the office again.

Gavino turned his head with slightly faint eyes but did not reduce to his prank, catching the face of Sean who was already very exhausted. " You go home, I'll drive myself later, no need to drive me.

Sean who heard that was astonished, there was something strange about this boss of his. Because it's not usual for Gavino to be a little soft as he is now. Sean had noticed Gavino from morning, when he came to the office at 5 a.m. It turned out that Gavino was already in his room out of nowhere. The dark circles that adorned Gavino's sharp eyes, it seemed like this arrogant young master had not slept from yesterday.

" Good sir, then excuse me to go home ".

Sean waited, but there was no reaction. He stepped away from Gavino's room, leaving the man pensive on his own.

Gavino walks past his seven penthouse units, tonight Gavino doesn't want to go home to his family's mansion, he wants to be alone. The moment Gavino opened the door, he was already greeted with the smile of a sexy woman.

" You..!!"
