Possessive Companions

Chapter 17

Every employee who was downstairs was horrendous with the arrival of Darrel and Alisha. Their faces looked puzzled as the man they thought Darren was coming in in his casual clothes, with a beautiful girl still wearing a uniform.

"Since when did you come out? Who's the little girl next to him."

"When did you change your clothes?"

"Master is getting handsome wearing such casual clothes."

"Oh my God, so handsome. And that girl, so pretty and adorable."

"It seems he's not the master." The words of one of the employees caught the attention of the whispering people. They looked at him with a gaze asking for more explanation.

"I've heard that Mr. Gara has twin sons. All we know, Mr. Gara's son is Mr. Darren and his twin. Meaning people walking towards us that's a twin of Mr. Darren. They are exactly the same. But, mister Darren would not return the employee's greeting and smile like that. And the girl next to him, it was the young lady. The only daughter of Mr. Gara with Mrs Alula. Look at her face, it looks a lot like madam."

"You know a lot of things."

"My aunt was here for almost ten years, before she resigned due to her health problems. I'm interested in the Grisam Group to force aunty to tell a story. Initially the aunt refused because she was forbidden to talk about the life of Mr. Gara and his family. Since I promised I wouldn't tell anyone else, aunt agreed. And now I break it, hehehe...."

Just as the employee finished his speech, Darrel and Alisha passed by them. As good employees, they greet Darrel and Alisha. They bowed respectfully. As they raised their heads, the CEO's special elevator stopped and exited Darren and Jiyo.

"Sister Darren." Alisha ran and hugged her sister. Darren grabbed his sister and gently stroked her hair.

Darrel also immediately did his mainstay tos with Jiyo.

The sight made all the employees gawk and throw one another a glance. Darren who suddenly turns soft and Jiyo looks joking with the twin Darren.

"Have you eaten?" Darren asked softly as he led Alisha into the elevator. Darrel and Jiyo also entered.

"I've eaten, brother. Brother Darrel took me to eat at the restaurant."

Darren nodded. The elevator stops and they head for Darren's room. They sat on the sofa of the room and Jiyo called to the kitchen office to make drinks for them and brought some snacks.

"The room in front of that room is Kak Jiyo's room?" Ask Alisha.

"Yes. Wh why? You want to see it?" Reply Jiyo.

Alisha immediately shook her head. "No. I'm lazy."

"I'm proud of you, Ren. You're making this company even more successful." Darrel.

"You'll be in on it later, too."

"Yes. I-i know. But not now. Wait after the painting race in C is over." Reply Darrel.

I heard knocking on the door. Jiyo immediately opened it and received a tray of drinks as well as some other snacks.

"You want to go to a painting race?" Ask Jiyo, while putting the drinks and snacks on the table.

Alisha quickly grabbed a drink and ate the available food.

"No. Wh-wh-what for? My paintings are acknowledged by famous painters. I became an appraiser at the event. The show host asked me directly when I was overseas. It's a big event. There are three neighboring countries coming."

Alisha, who had been listening and eating her food, turned to Darrel. His face immediately sparkled hearing the name of the city C called. His favorite food is there. The same food that Darren brought for him back then.

"When does the show start, brother?" Tanya Alisha enthusiastic.

"Two weeks away."

Alisha speechless. He quickly counted the day of the event. His face is back.

"Saturday. You can leave the day before. I'm coming with."

"No!" Answer Darren and Darrel simultaneously. Alisha's face immediately turned lethargic.

"Why?"

"Too many people." Reply Darren.

"So I'll be busy with the lomb." Answer Darrel.

"I can walk by myself. Or, let Daddy's people in C's town accompany Alisha."

"Alisha, listen to your two brothers." Jiyo Timpal.

"No, Brother Jiyo. I really want to go around that city. But, always get no permission." Alisha pouting.

Alisha is stubborn. But, Darren and Darrel could not fulfill this wish. Alisha and Lala are the golden children of the family. If anything happens to them, Ginanjar and Zarfan may be scolded. And most terrible Rage of Gara. Thinking of that alone, Jiyo shuddered to herself.

Darren rubbed Alisha's hair. "Sister will arrange our trip there. But, not now. Wait after all the business is done, we're gone." Darren.

"really?" Darren nodded. The boy looked at Darrel. The man also nodded.

"Sister Jiyo too?" Darrel and Darren nodded. "Take Brother Asya too, will you?" The twins nodded back.

Jiyo just smiled looking at Darren and Darrel who continued to nod their heads at every word Alisha.

Asya gathers with Papa and his mother in the family room. Before long, Naomi joined in.

"Said Papa wants to say something. What's up?" Ask Asya to Edo.

"Papa wants to ask you to replace Papa at the company." Jiyo. After nearly half a year of her marriage to Irene, her father handed over the Yunanda Group to her. Edo relinquished his position at the company Gara, and chose to lead his father's company which was already his. Although not as great as Grisam Group, but the company is one of the famous companies from a series of other famous companies.

"Serious papa? I'd have aspirations to be a jewelry designer, Pa. I'm also not sure I can handle the company well."

"Just calm. Papa has prepared someone to help you. Papa will also teach you and monitor."

Irene, who saw a confused look on her daughter's face, clasped her hand. He smiled gently at Asya.

"Honey, you're the only heir in this family. If it's not given to you, who should it be given to? Mama sure, you can." Irene.

"Papa doesn't forbid you from designing jewelry. But, Papa hope it's just a distraction job when you're bored. Papa is getting older. It's time you did it. Papa will help you find a place to open your own jewelry store."

Asya was touched by Edo's words. He immediately rushed into Edo's embrace.

"Thank you, Pa. But, it's not necessary. As Papa said. Asya will focus on the company. For jewelry design, let it be Asya's hobby."

"You really?" Asya nodded. "Thank you, baby." Edo peeped at the top of his daughter's head.

Asya hugged Irene. The warmth of her mother's embrace made her calm. His heart that was a bit sad for having to sacrifice his ideals began to improve. Both of his parents sacrificed a lot for him. Now it's her turn to answer. It doesn't matter if you're not a jewelry designer. Seeing the smiles on the faces of his parents caused by him was the greatest ideal of his life.

Naomi who saw the warmth of the family snorted in annoyance. He had felt the warmth of such a family before. But, the mistake his mother made made all that warmth go away. His father died, his mother in prison and ended his life in prison. And he was abandoned. Until he meets Asya and depends on the girl.

You've had enough of that warmth from your family. So, let me get that warmth from Darren. Inner Naomi.

"Oh yes, Naomi. How's yours?" Irene's question made naomi gasp.

"Eh, am I aunty?"

"Yes, you." Reply Irene.

"I don't know."

Irene looked at her husband. "How, honey?" Ask Irene.

"Emmm... If you want, om can put you in one of the departments that suits your abilities."

"You, om!" Answer Naomi quickly. But, a few seconds later he nodded. "But, I'm just a high school graduate, um." Answer, weak.

"No problem. Someone will lead you later."

Naomi's face returned to sumringah. He was so happy to hear it.
