Nina the Traitorous Secretary

Developing Strategies

With Mr. Salim escorted, Daffin immediately headed to the Midas Corp office.

 

“Who can I trust there, Sir?” Ask Daffin to Mr. Salim.

 

Mr. Salim seemed to think for a moment.

 

“The logic, Den, if all those in Midas' office are not seconded to Crystal, means they are not accomplices to Bu Nina, Den.” Said Mr. Salim, speaking based on his logic.

 

“Hm, that's exactly what you said. It's just, there's a chance they're spies, too, sir, so deliberately remain abandoned in Midas to keep an eye on the situation.” Say Daffin while stroking his chin. “Who has been close to Bu Nina?” Connect again.

 

“It looks like nothing, Den. Ms. Nina if you go anywhere with Mr. Alex directly, or if you work with Mr. Will. That's what you know.” Said Mr. Salim again.

 

Daffin nodded his head.

 

“Who has been visiting Papa the most lately?” Ask again.

 

“Nothing, Den.” Mr. Salim shook his head. “It used to be only Bu Nina most often. Only the last, financial director Midas but that was only once.”

 

“Oh yes? What's name?” Ask Daffin again.

 

“Pak Albert, Den.”

 

Daffin nodded again. Then he fell silent, thinking to himself until they arrived at the Midas Corp office.

Steadily, Daffin stepped towards the receptionist. The receptionist who did not know Daffin, looked at Daffin with a curious look.

 

“I want to meet Mr. Albert.” Daffin.

 

“Already promised, Sir?” Say the receptionist with a smile. Daffin scrunched his forehead, the smile was too wide in his opinion. Like eating me, he said in his heart.

 

“But.” Daffin said briefly.

 

“Oh, then can't, sir. Mr. Albert is busy, so you have to make an appointment first. May I ask for your name and phone number, later I will contact you again for his appointment.” Said the receptionist while continuing to show off her wide smile.

 

Daffin exhaled his irritated breath.

 

“Please call to Mr. Albert now, say Daffin wants to meet.” Mengkal.

 

“Oh, with Mr Daffin huh? Introduce, I'm Beautiful, Sir,” said the receptionist while pointing a nametag on his left chest, “As I said earlier..”.

 

“Call Mr. Albert now, and say Ranedave Hanson Midas wants to meet, now!” Said Daffin loudly while pointing at the phone at the reception desk with his index finger. He's really pissed off now.

 

The receptionist paled. “Who, Sir?” Deuteronomy is timid, hoping he misheard.

 

“Ranedave Hanson Midas!” Said Daffin loudly.

 

The receptionist immediately grabbed her phone, calling Albert nervously.

 

“Ranedave?” Albert said across the phone, like he was thinking who his guest was. The length of Albert thought was enough to make the receptionist ketar ketir, because he was under the pressure of the gaze of the eagle Daffin eyes.

 

“Ms Mr Alex, Sir!” Whisper the receptionist, hoping Daffin doesn't hear it.

 

Over there, Albert slapped his forehead. He immediately hung up the phone and rushed to the lobby.

 

“Pak Daffin.” Albert said half-down after he arrived at the lobby and stood in front of Daffin. Very young, he thought, but so much like Mr. Alex.

 

Daffin watched Albert at a glance. A serious-faced man in glasses was in his forties.

 

Daffin reached out his hand, shaking Albert's hand. Albert was so angry, he had never shaken hands with Alex in his entire life. Usually Alex just nodded his head with a haughty look, making Albert immediately aware of his position. It's different with Daffin.

 

“I want to talk. Can you get to Mr Albert's office?” Said Daffin slowly and politely, again surprised Albert.

 

Daffin smiled and gently touched Albert's shoulder, slightly encouraging him to walk in front of him.

 

“Pak Albert first of all, I don't know the direction of the road, Sir.” Said Daffin with a smile.

Albert smiled faintly, once again his respect for Daffin arose. They went to the elevator, to Albert's room.

Inside Albert's room, Albert and Daffin chat about the chronology of Midas Corp's deteriorating finances. Albert told Daffin everything he knew.

 

“So, everything got worse when Bu Nina took over the company?” Ask Daffin with a frown.

 

“Betul, Sir. It is not Bu Nina who attracted massive funds, but because of the fines imposed by Mr. Alex's personal partner, as a result of the failure of their business activities both. Because of this also finally Mr. Alex was detained by the police.”

 

Daffin surprised. “Papa caught by police?” His words do not believe.

 

Albert nodded his head.

 

“Will was also his victim. He represented Mr. Alex in the next import activity and again failed, even Will was fugitive at that time. But eventually Will died in prison due to a war between prisoners.” Said Albert slowly, again remembered the figure of William as his work partner.

 

“Then, the indifference of Bu Nina to Midas who was then all too badly dazed for paying a penalty. Ms. Nina seemed to be focusing her attention on Crystal, for some reason. And at the same time, Crystal got a tremendous amount of money from Mr. Alex's partner who at that time fined Midas, but I disbursed the funds on behalf of Ms. Nina. Suspicious isn't it, sir?” Look at Albert clearly.

 

“Why didn't Midas ask Crystal to help him overcome his financial difficulties, sir?” Ask Daffin again.

 

“Bu Nina never answered our request, sir. Mail, phone, SMS, WA, email, all for naught.” Albert complained again.

 

Daffin leaned in, then looked at Albert.

 

“Pak Albert, why can the leadership of Midas suddenly switch to Bu Nina?” Daffin asked suddenly, out of the financial topic they were discussing.

 

“Oh, there is a direct power of attorney from Mr. Alex who has been confirmed by a notary, sir. I have a copy, I briefly search.” Albert answered directly. Then he moved on, dismantled his drawer and took out a photocopy of the document and handed it to Daffin.

 

Daffin accepted it then immediately opened it and studied it. They were in a quiet situation, several times Daffin nodded or frowned.

 

Then suddenly he smiled faintly, looking at Albert.

 

“This document can I borrow, Sir?” Ask Daffin while lifting the notary deed.

 

“Please, Sir.” Albert gladly gave the document, as he prayed in his heart that Daffin might ease the storm that was hitting Midas.

 

Daffin kept the document with a smile. This time, he would be better prepared to face Nina.

Afternoon.

 

From Midas Corp's office, Daffin heads back to Crystal's office to meet Nina. By the time she reached Crystal's office, Nina had just exited the elevator lobby. Apparently the woman was going home.

 

“Luckily I came faster,” Daffin said with a smile, “Don't I tell you, I'll come back this afternoon? Why do you want to go home?” Connect again.

 

“My work hours are up.” Nina shrugged her shoulders, but she kept walking out of her office.

 

Actually Nina's reason was to avoid Daffin. He was afraid of his own feelings and his body's response, considering he was close to Daffin this morning. Everything about Daffin reminds him of Alex.

 

“We have dinner first.” Said Daffin while continuing to urge Nina's body to lead to Daffin's car. Daffin has started to learn, Nina's body will move away from him when he approaches. Therefore he recklessly attached his body to Nina's body, making her able to drive Nina to the direction she wanted.

 

“You're why the hell, why you should be so close!” Nina's grumpy gerutu is when she is finally locked between the open car door and Daffin's body. There was no choice but to get into the car.

 

“I want to talk. I want to ask for help.” Said Daffin while smacking his smile.

 

Nina snorted at Daffin's words, then she exhaled. “But everything is not free!” Cetus, then get in Daffin's car.

 

“Ready, Mrs Bos.” Said Daffin happy while closing the car door, then get into the side of the steering wheel. The car left the Crystal office parking lot.
