PRETEND POOR
CONTROLLING THE SITUATION



It has been a month since the issue of the relationship scandal between superiors and subordinates spread. The situation that was thought to be improving turned out to be not as expected. They thought such news would only last for a few days. However, the longer the news circulating makes the situation more heated and deviates from the main focus of the news.


GoodFood company shares experienced a significant stock decline within a month. Some investors withdrew from the company, the company that had signed the cooperation also cancelled their deal.


Melvin remained calm, he did not blame the situation or anyone. In fact, Jonathan he let resign in a good way from the company. He hopes his good skills at work can be applied in the right company for him.


However, Jonathan's exit adds to the increasingly murky situation. She actually spread the word about one of PT GoodFood's employees who she said was immoral about having children outside of marriage. Fortunately, Meka was out of work before the news broke.


To date, employees still talk about them, employer scandals and employee scandals. Melvin's not allowing ruby to work. He was temporarily replaced by Tomi.


"Sir, outside there are journalists waiting to interview you" Tomi said after returning from the lobby area. He had to increase the amount of security so that journalists could not take pictures themselves.


Melvin was still busy checking the documents on his desk. "Just turn them on as usual" he replied leisurely without taking his eyes off the work before him.


"Until when are you going to dodge, sir?" Tomi was already very tired of pacing the determined reporters.


"Until they get bored."


Tomi sighed. He had to be patient because one of his duties as a Melvin secretary was to test his patience. "Wouldn't it be better if faced? Avoiding won't solve the problem."


Melvin stopped writing for a moment. His goal remained silent as he thought the news would soon disappear. He also did not want to make Ruby feel depressed after marrying him.


"How is it?" ask Melvin.


"You can hold a press conference, sir. That's the quickest way to respond to gossip."


Melvin thought for a moment. "I'm afraid I'll get famous. My face is more handsome than the artists of the homeland. What if someone idolizes me?"


Tomi gaped with her boss's strings. "Sorry, Sir. On the internet you're known as Pebinor, a potential usurper."


"Isn't he?" Melvin is not too sure because it is less up-to-date with the latest news. Only business news was seen.


"Many mothers have blasphemed you. No one seems to be showing you. Sales of our products go down as a result of them breaking down to buy the goods of our company."


Melvin amazes CEOs like himself to be an enemy to mother-mom. If in the drama, a rich and handsome CEO like himself will definitely be a lot of fans. "I'm being an enemy of mothers?" Melvin pointed at himself dumbstruckly.


"Yes, Sir. Be careful in public places, afraid one of them will beat you up and scold you for hours."


"What would happen if I told the press conference that we were married? Will they congratulate you?" Melvin was relaxed about the news. He just doesn't want Ruby to be the result of the news. So he told Ruby to quit her job and spend more time at home.


"You'll be more damned, sir. Most women don't like actors no matter who they are."


"Because commenting on people's lives is more fun, sir than reflecting on your own life."


"Oh, yes. I forgot to. Did Jonathan break into the new company?"


After Jonathan came out, Melvin didn't just let go. He told Tomi to keep an eye on his movements.


"I heard he just recruited a food company owned by Mr. Ferdian."


Melvin pulled the corner of her lips. "I haven't heard that guy's name in a long time." He found it strange that Jonathan was so easy to get back to work. For the size of Ferdian's company, it feels impossible to enter people without considering their track record.


"Jonathan is very intelligent, sir. You shouldn't have fired him." Tomi regretted Melvin's decision at the time.


"I just want to see what he's like elsewhere. It turns out he hasn't changed." Melvin was a little disappointed to know that.


"It looks like he is deliberately establishing relationships with companies that benefit from the current corporate condition."


"Sales of products from Pak Ferdian company are skyrocketing, as well as advertising services company owned by Pak Alben is also increasing."


Melvin wants to laugh. It was as if all his enemies were now united to take him down. The lineup hurt because Melvin was also the heartbroken line of people who had loved Ruby.


Melvin sighed. It was better to leave his wife in the house. If he came out for a while, the eyes of the man were already busy glancing at him. He did not like his wife to be noticed by others.


Melvin so think about the press conference that will be done, whether he will invite Ruby or not.


*****


Meka looks beautiful and elegant entering the ballroom of a luxury hotel that has been filled with visitors. He smiled at everyone who looked at him. From now on, he can walk confidently.


Tonight Ferdian makes a party to introduce Davin and Callista as their daughter's sons. Of course it makes Meka feel happy. The Ferdian family who would not agree with their relationship, now turned very fond of him thanks to the existence of Davin.


If Renata had not been in a coma and could have given birth to a son, perhaps the story would have been different. The child that Renata gave birth to was a woman. In the eyes of the Ferdian family, boys were more valuable than girls. For Meka herself, boys and girls are just as valuable.


The mother of two children was getting dazzling in the eyes of men. Supported by his confident attitude in front of others, increasingly makes him look not easily swayed and dropped by others. In fact, Ferdian seemed to fall back in love with the woman who had accompanied him for a long time. Sometimes he forgets that there is Renata by his side.


Meka can make him drunk. In the business of making love, Meka is different from the previous one. If it used to be dominated, now it is dominating. But Ferdian really liked that. She likes a tough, strong-looking woman, not a woman who cries for a bluff.


"Oh, it turns out you're in this place too."


Meka's footsteps stopped because she heard the words of a very familiar person in her stomach.
