LOVE THE EXPATRIATE

20. Edward's threat

Edward was checking reports sent by outlets in the area when Anjani entered his room without prior notice.

“Good morning, Mr Edward?” sapa Anjani approaching.

“Sorry Miss, I think you need to double-check your schedule. We do not have a schedule for meeting.” said Edward ketus.

“Indeed not yet Mr. Edward.” said the woman smiled.

“So what are you coming for? I have told you that we met just for work.” said the man turned to Anjani.

“Cause sir. Keep calm's. I came too because it has something to do with the job.” he said as he propped his hands up to the table.

“What do you want to say, Miss?” ask Edward flatly.

Anjani finally sat down before the man.

“You used to ask, what is my biggest wish that has not been achieved as a model.”

“Yes. Then?” asked Edward lazily

“You are still curious to know, Mister?”

“Unfortunately I am no longer interested.”

“You know, Sir? I always dreamed of becoming a model in Europe.”

“Then what does it have to do with your dreams?”

“As the number one person in Zafora Indonesia network, I know you have wide access to the entire global network. Surely you also have relations in Europe and the USA. I've taken a peek at your track record of being a model in London and Milan. I also know that you have also been involved several times in the New York Fashion Weeks.” event

Edward is not surprised that Anjani knows his background. It looks like the woman has been browsing her status history on Facebook and visiting her blog on Zafora Indonesia's official website.

“Sorry Miss, you don't beat around the bush. I'm busy.”

“I want to be a brand ambassador for Zafora International, Sir. Like Mariana Garcia from Brazil. Would you recommend me to the CEO and directors in Sweden?” anjani said with a charming smile. But according to Edward, it's a sneaky smile.

“Why Miss? You are not satisfied to work with Zafora Indonesia? Isn't your contract value big enough for a model your size?”

“Very satisfied, Sir. But you certainly know, to be great, there has to be a metamorphosis of a model in her career. I want to develop myself. ”

“I can't help anything for you. Zafora Indonesia is not a stepping stone for you to go international.”

Actually, in his heart, Edward admitted that the desire of the model was not an impossible thing to realize. Anjani actually has a world standard model. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a face of character. Supported also with the age of 23 years and has a height of more than 175 centimeters. It would not be a shame if Edward recommended the model to Sweden to be a candidate for brand ambassador Zafora International next season. Moreover, the concept of next year's Zafora fashion, Primitive, orientation is more inclined to Asia. So by itself, the company will also use models that have oriental facial characters such as Anjani.

But Edward had no intention whatsoever to promote the woman to a higher level. He was already illfil with Anjani because of his attitude all along.

“You should know, Miss Mariana Garcia can be our model, because she does have good achievements and capacity. Not taking advantage of their closeness to someone" Edward looked at the woman.

"Don't confuse the working system there with what has become your habit here.”

“If it is not possible, please connect me with an agency in Europe.” said Anjani began to get upset.

“I am not assigned here to be your agent, Miss. Sorry I can't.” Edward remained firm.

“Good, if you still do not have good intentions to help me. But don't blame me, if later everyone knows that grandmanager Zafora has fucked his brand ambassador.” said the woman issued a threat.

Edward got up from his seat. Slowly he brought his face closer to Anjani who was staring intently in front of him.

“Do not try to bully me, Miss.” grin Edward slowly but firmly.

“ You should know, if I already know dirty tricks like this. Even I can be more hearty than you.”

Edward knew that Anjani was bluffing. That's why the man wanted to give her a little shock therapy.

“I'm sure you're very, very smart, Miss Anjani Adinegoro. If it is true that you will be involved in a big film, you will definitely close the meeting of this scandal.”

Edward felt himself in the wind, so he continued.

“For me it doesn't matter if this scandal will blow up you. Perhaps the most fatal consequence I would receive was being transferred to another country. My planning was not long in Indonesia.”

“But you? Not only the contract cancellation by Zafora that you received, but there will be no more brands that want to use you."

Still not satisfied, Edward also tried to remind Anjani about something.

"You remember, don't you, the video scandal four years ago in this country? Which involves a famous model with the vocalist of the band? Could be your fate later like him.”

Anjani just remained silent as her gaze scanned the floor. He seems to have run out of manufer to control Edward. After previously he did not succeed in seducing the man to become his lover. Or rather 'gold mines'nya.

He looked at the man and wanted to say something. But Anjani's next words are no longer threatening, but rather clear.

“Are you not happy if I stay away from your life, sir? You should be able to help promote me, in order to get away from here.”

Edward just smiled cynically.

“I don't care if you're here or not. We're still tied to each other until this very second, it's solely out of an interest, miss. Not because of emotional attachment. For me your presence is nothing more than a piece of contract paper.” he said like heartless.

"I have power here. For me, choosing and replacing a model is as easy as clicking a pebble on a table. A blink of your eyes will be thrown away.”

Edward sat down. He threatened the woman back.

“So I hope, do not behave that can make me angry, if you still want to continue the contract with us.”

Anjani is unhappy with Edward's threats. He immediately got up to grab his bag at the table, and quickly left the place while making a speech that the man did not understand.

“Anjrit Loe!”

Aaaakk!!!

All were shocked and turned to the door of the grandmanager room that Anjani slammed into. Not caring about all the eyes of the employees who were fixed on him, he immediately left the office. Adrian who just returned from the reception room was surprised to see the look on Anjani's face was upset.

“Hey!..hey! What's up Anjani?!” exclaimed the man while gripping the woman's hand to keep her from leaving,

“Release! Just take care of boss loe, it!” his cry revolted from the clutches of Adrian.

Feeling powerless to hold back Anjani who seemed really angry, Adrian could only look at the woman's departure until it disappeared from his sight.

“Sorry Sir, What happened to Miss Anjani?” ask the man after entering his boss's room.

“Nothing, Adrian. Just a small debate because of differences in principle.” said Edward still leaned his head on the chair.

Adrian sat down in front of Edward.

“I'm just reminding, sir. Do not let the difference you mean earlier will interfere with the performance of Miss Anjani. You should know, this week he has a shooting session for our new item. And next month he will road show to all outlets in the area.”

“I guarantee our agenda with Miss Anjani will still go according to plan. You don't have to worry about that.”

“That's surprising, why Mrs. Elena can choose to become Zafora's partner? Though from the documents I see, there are other candidates who are more representative.” said Edward turned to his assistant.

“Sorry Sir, is there something wrong with Miss Anjani?” adrian asked as if he was less than happy.

“During this time the company has not complained about its performance.”

Edward did not answer, he was just pensive as he looked out the window.

The model does show good performance because there is a hidden purpose. Anjani went into Zafora and my life to smooth over his ambitions. Maybe because of fellow women, then he did not succeed in seducing Mrs. Elena. You don't know that, Adrian. Edward said in his heart.

"Again sorry, sir, I didn't mean to be presumptuous. But my advice, should be personal problems do not be associated with work.” said his assistant left the room.

Edward was a little surprised. How far does his assistant know about him and Anjani? Did Adrian already know the scandal he was doing with the model, so that it showed an unsympathetic attitude to him? Edward thought to himself.
