After lunch, SinMart officials gathered in the meeting room to discuss VilMart's return. Kalfi presided over the meeting.
"Finally thank you for taking the time to meet. At first we were very happy to win the case and take over VilMart, but after hearing the real circumstances this was a dilemma for SinMart. As the President said, we are not heartless people. VilMart has a hereditary history as well, but the holder is the one who is troubled and is now in the police force. What I want to discuss here is the previous owner of VilMart who was betrayed by his own uncle." said Kalfi.
"When Mr. Marcell took over the stake, the woman almost fainted because she knew nothing about VilMart that she had handed over to her uncle. The woman was shocked to have to give up her late father's company to us. But the woman was also immediately willing to give up her shares because she did not want to destroy VilMart which was in ruin. Now the problem is are we going to replace the company with the fourth SinMart name?" ask Kalfi.
"Business is a business without having to look at the other side, but in terms of humanity we have to reconsider" replied Jidan.
"I think Mr. Ji is right, we are in business not socializing. But we also have to reconsider this matter" Kalfi said.
Jordan tapped his pen on the table. "SinMart is not a small company that lacks income. We can take over VilMart that's good, but we can't go wrong. We have a thorough investigation, and the owner of VilMart actually really does not know this problem. We can only have 2 ways. First, let VilMart run as usual until they are able to recover the losses and shares that we have bought. Second, we still take over VilMart but become SinMart veiled behind the name VilMart. My point is that the mall is still VilMart, but inside SinMart is taking over." Jordan said.
"The first option means we sacrifice ourselves to lend capital to VilMart, and the second option does not benefit Mr. Jo. Sales on behalf of VilMart, very far if we replace it with the fourth SinMart name." said Mr. Marcell.
"Not if we change the management of VilMart's work and announce that the VilMart mall is under the auspices of SinMart." said Jidan.
They thought for a moment and discussed with each other.
"How about Mr Kalfi?" ask Jidan.
"I think we're doing the second way. We are not a capital loan company. It's not profitable if VilMart's income decreases. We can wait until it's gray if VilMart returns our shares. But if we do the second option, it is very profitable for SinMart because the income will continue to enter every year even though it still uses the name VilMart." replied Kalfi.
"Actually this is a sense of humanity because the mall belongs to an innocent family. And I agree with Mr. Kalfi's opinion and choose the second option suggested by Mr. Jo." said Jidan. "But we are also asking for the opinion of the shareholders who are here in addition to the three of us" he continued.
"I just follow the opinion of the President and the CEO" said Mr. Marcell.
The others are still discussing.
"I'll give you one day, we'll decide tomorrow morning because soon I'll have a meeting with Miss VilMart's owner, I think it's quite so today" said Jidan.
Everybody nodded.
"Alright, we wait for your return tomorrow morning." continued Kalfi.
One by one they left the meeting room.
"Sir Jo, we're meeting Miss Vero together." pinta Jidan.
Jordan nodded. "I'll be back at 3 o'clock exactly, I still have business in the office right now" he replied.
Jidan nodded, everyone finally returning to their respective jobs.

At exactly 3 pm, a beautiful woman of high stature and possibly her 30s waiting in the meeting room. The twins entered at the same time. The three looked at each other.
"Welcome to SinMart, Miss Vero." said Jidan, extending her hand.
Vero welcomed Jidan's helping hand and extended his hand to Jordan as well.
"I'm Chairman of SinMart Jidan Sin, and this is my younger brother CEO of SinMart Jordan Sin." replied Jidan.
Vero finally nodded, the three sat down. "I only heard rumors about the twins Sin who were young, handsome and a great business man. I didn't expect to see you guys in person." said Vero.
"You're exaggerating Miss Vero, we're not what we're talking about" Jordan said.
Vero. "No, I can see it straight away. You guys are young and handsome. And of course it's so smart to do business that it can take over VilMart." he was suddenly sad.
"We're sorry that we didn't know in advance that the owner of VilMart was not involved. But we also feel aggrieved by the behavior of VilMart." said Jidan.
"I've received airily sir Ji, at least VilMart was not destroyed. I want the building to stand as a mall, even if it's not mine anymore" said Vero.
"You still own the shares there, just switch over to us Miss Vero. And we're still discussing it. We'll make a decision tomorrow for you" Jidan said.
"What do you mean?" ask Vero.
"We're still keeping it a secret, miss. Wait until noon tomorrow." replied Jordan.
"All right, I hope you didn't destroy the building. It'll hurt me more." Vero asked.
Jidan smiled. "We can't destroy a building that big, miss. Did you come here alone?" ask Jidan.
Vero nodded. "I have always been alone Mr. Ji, I only have an old mother in Indonesia. I only come back here once a year, which is why I gave VilMart to my uncle who destroyed it" he replied.
"Sorry miss if I ask and it's rude, are you still single?" ask Jordan.
Vero nodded. "Yes." she replied again.
"I am also an Indonesian citizen despite living here for many years. Our parents are in Lampung, where do you live?" ask Jidan.
"I know if you're from the same country as me. But I live in Surabaya, I come from there if you can see my last name." replied Vero.
"Of course, miss, who do you live with?" ask Jidan.
"I have an apartment here, and of course myself" Vero said.
"Either why we feel close to you, may be because we are from the same country. I feel like I have an older sister." Jordan said.
Vero smile. "I also feel more relaxed talking to you. But I'm sorry if I'm being disrespectful, Mr. JiJo."
"No, miss, we do want to meet with you not just to talk about VilMart." replied Jidan.
The three of them ended up talking to each other without any sense of awkwardness. The twins again missed their parents and Zean, when many times the three spoke Indonesian and laughed at each other when telling about Indonesia.
