Possessive Companions

Chapter 47

Jiyo prepares to be lobbied by the office to pick up clients from HRL Group, whose leader is Hendra. As per their plan, they should make things work as if they do not yet know if the HRL Group leader has been replaced.

While Darren and Darrel were both in the meeting room, and waiting for Hendra there.

The car stopped in the office yard, and Hendra got off with his secretary. They walked into the office. A small smile appeared on her lips when she saw the shock on Jiyo's face.

Huh. Do you like my surprise? Inner Hendra.

"He-hendra?"

"Huh, long time no see, Jiyo." He said, underestimating.

"What are you here for?" Jiyo looked at him in annoyance.

"You should respect me. You're just a secretary. I am the CEO of HRL Group. I want to meet your CEO."

"Ja-so, are you the CEO of HRL Group? Sh-wasn't the company led..."

"Shut up Jiyo! You're wasting my time. Hurry along! Take me to your CEO."

Jiyo took a step back, then bowed her body, respecting Hendra.

"I'm sorry, sir. Come on, I'm taking you!"

Hendra looked at the cynical Jiyo, then nodded his head.

Hid. If it wasn't for the success of our plan, I'd be so disgusted to do this. Inner Jiyo.

The elevator takes Jiyo with Hendra and her secretary to the 28th floor, where the meeting room is located.

"Please, sir." Jiyo lets Hendra and his secretary out of the elevator. Their steps lead to the left towards the meeting room.

In the room, Darren and Darrel are ready to welcome Hendra. The door was knocked making Darren sound.

"Lake in!" The answer was answered with an open door.

Degs... Hendra was quite surprised to see Darrel there too. He thought he would only face one person. Turns out he was wrong. But, he was pleased to see the surprised look that Darrel had on his face, and the sharp gaze was drawn from Darren.

Hiding her surprise, Hendra approached with a smile. His eyes were on Darren.

Are you surprised to see me? I'm so happy to see this. I also have a gift for you at the end.

"What is this look like you're showing when you're welcoming a client?"

"Client Hartono. Not you." Darren replies, glancing at the secretary who turned out to have been replaced with a new secretary.

"Ah yes, I forgot to tell you. HRL Group is led by me. I replaced Uncle Hartono after returning from abroad." He smiled arrogantly.

"By the way, why is Darrel here?" Further.

"Is it my fault here?"

"No." The answer. "alright. Let's talk about our cooperation offer. My schedule is very tight today."

Hid. So arrogant. Inner Darrel.

Just show me your arrogance. I'm not sure it'll last long. Inner Jiyo before she exited the room.

They started talking about cooperation that is still in the bidding process. Darrel did not seem to like the offer of cooperation. But, Hendra and his secretary are still trying to get cooperation with Grisam Group.

"Your presentation is bad. I don't want my company to join and suffer a loss. So, I'm refusing this cooperation."

Hendra gritted his teeth. Although he had expected it from the beginning, he still felt annoyed. Darren arrogantly rejected their cooperation just like that.

"Come, go!" Hendra was full of annoyance to take his secretary away. The secretary knew who they were dealing with right now. Apologizing, he bowed before Darren Darrel, then followed his master out of the room.

After Hendra's departure, Jiyo quickly entered the room.

"How's it?" Ask. But, his forehead instantly shriveled seeing Darrel glaring at him and Darren staring intently at him.

Curiously, Jiyo asked by moving her lips without making a sound. Darrel pointed straight down at the table. Jiyo immediately saw it. He cursed in his heart when he saw a tapping device stuck under the table.

Damn you Hendra!

Jiyo re-enforced her body and began to skit. "Why are you quiet? How's the cooperation?"

"No cooperation." Answer Darren.

"Ah thank goodness. I thought you guys accepted it. To be honest, I was very surprised to see Hendra."

"I am too." Darrel. "But, I'm sure, he won't bother you anymore."

"Come, go!" Darren suddenly stood up and left the room. Darrel and Jiyo follow him. They're headed for Darren's room.

It had been a few days, since Gara had ordered the bodyguards to watch over Hardi. The boy did not show up at school after that day. The teenager was very sick and was lying in the hospital.

Holidays are their chance to get together. But not with Darren. The man left before breakfast.

"Where's Darren?" Ask Alula.

"I saw Brother leave before breakfast." Answer Alisha.

"Where did Darren go, Darrel?" Ask Gara. It's not usually his son like that.

"No idea, Dad. Darren also recently asked me to come home first at the office."

"And you always come home late." Connect Gara.

Darrel looked up at his father. "Hehehe... I just need Dad's entertainment." Darrel. This time, he lied. She does not seek entertainment but accompanies Aurel in the apartment. He didn't want his father to know about Aurel. His father would definitely be angry and think he was not focused on looking for the girl he had been harassing.

On the street, Darren drives his car to an apartment. His cold face looked so calm. He stopped his car in the apartment parking lot and headed straight for the apartment unit he was referring to.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Darren knocked on the door. And before long, a girl opened the door. His face looked so worried.

"You're coming. Hurry up, she's been crying ever since." Say that woman.

Without a sound, Darren went straight in and headed for a room. He opened it slowly, and a boy immediately ran to hug him.

"Lad..."

"Doni, don't cry, okay?" Darren.

"Papa ninggalin Doni last night. Doni wants Papa to sleep with Doni."

"A lot of work to do."

"Papa... Shhh..."

"Doni, what's wrong with you?" Darren's face started to worry a little.

"Papa... S-sick." The boy groaned while holding his right stomach. His face immediately turned pale.

Darren immediately carried her and walked out. Carla, the girl who was with the child, stood up straight at the sight of Darren holding Doni out, with the child's face pale withstanding the pain.

"We're going to the hospital." Said Darren, who is owned by Carla.

Without them knowing, one sees and records Darren's early arrival.

Asya stared at Aurel who was so greedy eating the food he had ordered to Asya, before the girl visited him.

"You lost your appetite weeks ago. And now, you eat it voraciously. Did you cut down on your food to provoke your appetite?"

"It's not. I really want to eat this food."

"Yes. Eat it carefully." Asya pushed a glass of water on Aurel. "I see, you look more and more contained."

Asya's words made Aurel stop eating her. His hand spontaneously held his stomach. Her tears just fell.

The one who saw him panicked. "Aurel, what's wrong? Did I say something that hurt you?"

There was no answer, making Asya glance towards Aurel's hand that rubbed his stomach. Degs... Asya turned pale. His mind was spinning everywhere. Simultaneously, Asya's eyes instantly glazed over.

"A-Aurel's chat... Wh-what are you ha-pregnant?"

Aurel's tears were flowing more and more. He can't lie to his best friend anymore. He wanted to tell the truth, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. Only tears kept flowing.

"Aurel, let's tell me! What did I say right?" Just a nod that the girl showed in response.

Asya pulled him in the embrace. Her tears dripped, along with feeling the sadness felt by her best friend.

"Aurel, tell me! Who did that to you? Tell me! Is that Darren?" No other man was very close to Aurel, except Darrel. Although Asya was doubtful, but it was possible.

Aurel further tightened her embrace while shaking her head. "No. Not Darren."

"Keep who?"

Aurel's getting sobbing. Asya rubbed his back. He didn't ask anymore. What he did, was try to calm Aurel down. The problem of the culprit, he would ask her after she was completely calm and prepared.
