My Important Business With CEO

— 13.

If Renjani and his brother make a plan, then there is Ardhi who is one step ahead of the two of them. Ardhi was so sure that his sister's partner was putting together something that could mess up the second meeting. Because his feelings are not good, upon arrival in the country of origin, Ardhi immediately told his secretary to arrange a meeting with the original Anastasia. Ardhi just need to talk a little to Ana, before later meeting Renjani — girl who yesterday came to a blind date.

"Have you arranged a meeting with Anastasia?" Ask Ardhi to the secretary who is always loyal to accompany.

"Already, sir. As you requested, this meeting was not known to Miss Anastasia," Nindi said, telling her that the order was in order.

"So, are we going straight to the woman's place?" Ardhi asked while staring out the window of the car which was currently being drenched by rain.

Without opening his mouth, Nindi answered the question from the superior using only a short nod of the head followed by a wide enough smile. Now, they were on their way to the place where Anastasia was shooting. Fortunately, it is not too far from the airport.

After traveling for approximately fifteen minutes, the black sedan car boarded by Ardhi and secretaries and several personal guards, managed to stop and parked in front of a photo studio, which was located in the middle of the city, the place where Anastasia is.

Ardhi who did not like to buy time just opened his car door, then stepped out. The man was indeed just getting off the car, but strangely it could attract a lot of attention from people around him. Perhaps, those people are amazed at the charisma that Ardhi does have or they might recognize him. In this country, who does not know Ardhi? He is too famous for business people.

Ardhi's attitude was impressed can not be too friendly. He knows that he is the center of attention from people around, but prefers to throw away his face and stick to his flat expression. Despite his cold demeanor, those people remained endless taking photos. For them Ardhi's cold attitude was considered something cool.

Escorted by the secretary, Ardhi began to step into the photo studio. The door opened and the first thing both eyes could see was the figure of the woman who should have been a couple on a blind date yesterday. The woman named Anastasia looked so beautiful in a coral fashion.

Not yet had time for Ardhi to call, the woman the owner of the name Anastasia had first realized his presence. Ana looks so surprised by the presence of the man who was reluctant to meet it. It was unexpected that they had a chance for a meeting. Looking awkward, Anastasia smiled towards the man who was currently looking at her coldly.

"Can we talk for a second?" Ardhi said without any further ado.

Forced Anastasia must agree to speak with Ardhi. Refusing will not make the man leave this place.

"Let's come with me," Anastasia asked as she walked lazily, ahead of the man.

Upon their arrival in a private room that only interested people could use, Anastasia began to look at the man seriously. Here Ana did not want to give up her time for a long time talking with Ardhi — the man she did not like at all.

"I only had five minutes" Anastasia said.

Ardhi who did not want to bother too much about the treatment of the woman also went straight to the core of the conversation. Just like Anastasia, the man was also reluctant if asked to mince words first. Ardhi is a person who likes to the point while talking.

"I can cancel the match with you, but there's one condition that I want to apply" Ardhi said, not as nonsense.

Hearing words that seemed like a negotiation, it could make Anastasia smile brightly. Will there be any hope of him being able to escape the shackles of the matchmaking made by the father?

"Condition?" Still with a jutek look, Anastasia sounded already interested.

"Yes. I offer one condition in exchange for the cancellation of the match," said Ardhi again who was serious from the beginning.

"What's the condition?"

"simple. I just want you to let Renjani—" have not had time to finish, Anastasia easily cut the words from the man.

"Branjani? Apparently you already know everything" said Anastasia accompanied by a wry smile.

"No lie can be kept long."

Instead of this conversation even longer and the topic is also everywhere, Anastasia immediately returned to the initial negotiations about the matchmaking that can be canceled.

"good. So, what conditions do you want to apply?" Anastasia asked inquiring.

"Let Renjani attend the second meeting that I had planned," Ardhi continued saying the easy condition if you want the matchmaking to be canceled.

"If I let her come, you'll cancel her betrothal? That so?" Anastasia just wants to make sure that she doesn't get me wrong on the purpose of the negotiations.

Without making a sound, Ardhi just gave a small nod, confirming the question that the woman had just asked. Supposedly, the offer of negotiation submitted by Ardhi included a big deal and there was no reason for Anastasia to reject it. Just need to answer to agree, then it is certain that Ana will be separated from the matchmaking. Can he trust Ardhi?

Feeling unsure of the good negotiation offer submitted by the man named Ardhi, Anastasia asked other things that might help her in making a decision.

"Why do you want to continue the meeting with Renjani? What are your intentions and plans for him?" Telisik Ana with the gaze still impressed the same.

Hearing that question could make Ardhi a small grin at the corner of his lips. It was true, that man had other intentions towards Renjani. As an older sister, of course Ana would not let her sister get hurt.

"I can't tell you the reason" Ardhi took a safe answer.

"Then, I won't be me—" again Anastasia's words should be cut off by the man.

"Please refuse and I'll tell everything to the family" Ardhi's side sounded like a threat.

"How dare you! It is fitting that I refuse an arranged marriage with a devious man like you!" Anastasia expressed her regret at the men's threat.

"The choice is on you. If I approve the offer, I can make sure the whole family will not know all this" added Ardhi.

If the conditions were already like this, would there still be an opportunity for Anastasia to refuse and ignore the negotiation offer given by Ardhi? Now, Anastasia is at a dead end. It feels almost the same as when Renjani was asked to replace her brother in attending a blind date.

"Hows it? What will you choose?" Urged Ardhi to ask for a definite answer to the woman who should be his future wife.

"I'm me—"

...•••...

This afternoon, when Renjani had just stepped down from an online vehicle ordered to drive her home, her eyes were focused on an SUV that was very familiar to her. Just yesterday Renjani got into that car, uh now have to see it again. Without asking, Renjani already knew that her brother was in the house.

With his long steps, Renjani began to walk through the gate of the fence and towards the entrance of the house that had been inhabited by him for approximately thirteen years. Not yet had time for Renjani to ring the bell available, a servant had already opened the door and welcomed his return. Every time it is treated like this, there is always an uncomfortable feeling from inside Renjani.

"Let me ring the bell first! Don't be welcomed immediately because it makes me uncomfortable" Renjani told the waiter.

"In this house the lady is not a guest, so it is appropriate to be treated equally. I can't let the lady stand too long at the door either" said the waiter, who prefers to meet her standards at work.

"Thank you" Renjani said, forming a big smile on her face.

After feeling enough, Renjani who intends to enter the house was stopped again because suddenly the brother came to him. Unlike yesterday, now sister Ana's face looked much brighter. Was the matter about matchmaking already successfully resolved by him?

"Hi, deck..." Say hello to Ana while smiling warmly.

"Hi, sis..." Reply Renjani who then walked in through Kak Ana. To avoid something unwanted, while the time Renjani will make a safe distance from her brother.

"Daddy, why?" Ask Kak Ana who just keeps tailing behind Renjani without wanting to stop.

"So why do you keep following me?" Renjani felt scared because of the bad feeling she was experiencing.

"Just want to talk, but why did you run away like that?" Same with Renjani, Ana also felt strange about the attitude of her sister. It was not usual for Renjani to run away when her brother came.

"What do you want to say? Wasn't yesterday enough?" Asked Renjani without wanting to stop her steps.

"On matchmaking. I managed to get that guy to cancel it."

Hearing what was just told by his brother, able to stop the hasty steps that had been continuously done by Renjani. Does he want to talk to his brother now?

"really? How could? What's brother doing?" Renjani who had turned her back just to be able to look at her brother began to ask quite a lot of questions.

"Just a little negotiation," honestly her brother, but this is what makes Renjani suspicious. Although he still met once, Renjani was convinced that Ardhi was not the type of person who was easy to compromise.

"Tell me, how did Ana negotiate with him?" Renjani is very curious.

Honestly, Anastasia herself felt confused to answer the question from her sister. The offer came from Ardhi. It was not because of the initiative or plan of the older brother.

"You don't need to know how, because now the most important thing is that the match has been canceled" said Anastasia while slightly controlling the volume of her voice.

As long as her brother has not told her how, Renjani will continue to be suspicious. His premonition said that there was something that was now being hidden by the brother, but unfortunately Renjani did not know. Asking would not be of any use, for surely Sister Ana was reluctant to tell.

"Congratulations, brother..." Briefly Renjani while giving a thin smile to her brother.

"Therefore, the reason I came here besides to tell you the good news, I also want to invite you to go eat. Think of it like a celebration party," asked Kak Ana without hesitation.

Of course, Renjani could not agree to the invitation from her brother. Not because they do not want to, but it just so happens that in the next day Renjani there is a daily test and requires him to study. So, her celebration party had to be postponed until Renjani was done with all those school exams.

"Sorry, but I can't. Tomorrow there is a test," Renjani refused firmly.

"Just for a second. It won't be until midnight," her name is also Kak Ana, no wonder if there is a compulsion when hearing a rejection.

"I must learn," Renjani still insisted on rejecting the invitation.

"Come, deck! The problem is that tomorrow or when, I can't take you anymore."

"Why can't you? Is my sister going again?"

"Your brother has to fly to Paris to attend a fashion show" Ana whispered.

"When?"

"The flight schedule is tomorrow afternoon" replied Ana.

"Does mom and dad know about that?"

"Not yet, but they'll soon find out."

"Until when?" The question from Renjani for his brother was impressed quite a lot.

"Maybe two months, you'll be back in the country again."

"Old kok?"

"All of you want a vacation with Bimo" said Kak Ana with a smile sumringah.

Without giving anything certainty, Renjani again continued his steps. Not hearing an answer, Ana decided to take it as a sign of agreement from her sister. If this is the case, Anastasia will soon be free from the shackles of arranged marriage.

"Dek, don't forget the gown worn," pinta Kak Ana who is completely ignored by Renjani.

As she stared at the back of her sister, who was disappearing from view, Ana began to pick up her mobile phone and sent a message to Ardhi.

Apparently the decision taken by Anastasia was to accept the negotiation offer from the man. It looks unfair to Renjani, but what else? Ana can't let Ardhi tell the two families about everything. Anastasia just couldn't bear the anger of her father. Since childhood, the only person most respected is Mr. Aries — his own father. In order to protect herself, Anastasia let her sister get involved with Ardhi.

"I'm sorry, deck. Hopefully later you can understand the difficult position that I am experiencing," said Kak Ana in her mind.
