Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

chapter. 54

Ridho's hand turned on the phone, and there were a lot of phone calls and messages from Arum the secretary. Ridho rounded his eyes when he found out that all this happened because of a video of himself with Rosie in a hotel viral on social media.

"Brazil ... Argh!" Almost Ridho threw his phone because he was upset, but he paused because he still needed the phone.

Ridho half ran around the building to enter from the side door. Through the emergency staircase, Ridho climbed to the fourth floor where his room was. The sweat has wetted Ridho's shirt. The smell of sweat mixes with alcohol, making anyone who is side by side with it will close the nose.

"Hosh ... Hosh!" Ridho's breathing is stingy - nasal. His strength was almost exhausted to be able to climb the stairs up to the fourth floor. But he forced himself to keep climbing the stairs.

Ridho's efforts were not in vain, he finally arrived on the fourth floor. With gasping breath and sweat soaking through the body, Ridho walked in from the emergency exit. Many people were waiting for him to gather in front of Ridho's workroom.

Ridho walked around like a thief who was afraid of being caught by security. While adjusting his breath and mind, Ridho managed to get into his study.

" Mister, thank goodness you're here soon. All the board of commissioners want to meet with you," said Arum welcomed the arrival of the employer.

Ridho wiped the sweat that soaked his forehead.

"How did this happen?" Ridho restored his hair, calming down.

"They got angry and started asking for stocks that turned out to be dropping, sir. The video undermines your honor and credibility as the head of this company" Arum replied according to the news he received.

"What?! Company shares plummeting?! How'this? Time with just a video like they're pulling all our shares? This is unbelievable and should not happen. I must immediately find a way to gain their trust again" Ridho half-cried.

Ridho's face is getting tangled, actually he does not know how to. There's no way he's borrowing a bank to cover all the funds. Ridho squeezed his hair. His mind was dead-end and his emotions wanted him to explode immediately. However, all of these were also his mistakes that had been careless.

Ridho took a deep breath, trying to think clearly before stepping. He also entered his personal space.

"Arum, I want to take a shower and change clothes. I couldn't possibly meet them in this situation" said Ridho, who noticed that his body odor was very pungent. Exactly the heavy workers who have to sweat a lot.

The real Arum from earlier also held the smell of the master's body finally nodded.

"Alright, Sir. I will prepare the meeting room , so that the board of commissioners will calm down immediately" Arum replied as he rubbed his nose.

Gegas Arum went out of Ridho's study, he passed to the special room to make a meeting together.

Water from the shower is able to dampen the head of Ridho who almost exploded earlier. He feels more relaxed and can think clearly. After finishing the bath, he changed his clothes and reflected.

"Today the future of the company is at stake, may the board of commissioners not demand that I resign from my post!" batin Ridho hoped to be anxious while pecking himself in front of the mirror.

After feeling the appearance was okay, Ridho went out to the meeting room. His chest was pounding violently, his legs were shaking as he stepped in front of the members who were already sitting waiting for him while his dossiers were pricked.
