PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

Part 90's. Cherrie Who Wants to Run...

Derrick POV

"Cecil, Aunt Tata accepted the proposal." I called Cecil in a video call after I spoke to Tata, who urged me to propose to Tata in person as soon as possible.

"Congratulations Papa, Aunt Tata survived. Get married quickly so Papa doesn't feel like I'm leaving him alone. I'll probably rarely be able to see him after I go to college, unlike now a year can 2-3 times I go there."

"You must keep your duty at least once a year back to Hong Kong, don't forget that."

"Yes I know. If that's for sure..."

My daughter thought of me in such a way, but maybe the time was right when I met Tata, as I said, I could probably be said to be settled in Jakarta, at least back and forth to Hong Kong, he said, Singapore and Malaysia are. It's been feeling pretty established, and someone's coming.

"We're getting married. Really is..." He stared at the ring on his finger in almost disbelief.

"We asked your father and Aunt Yun Lan for permission to prepare for everything. I think half a year is enough for us..."

"Well, we're getting married here, aren't we?"

"Yes, Koko's colleagues are more here. So it's better to get married here. The ones from Hong Kong are only Cecil, your Papa and Aunt Yun, his children, maybe some brothers we need to invite, Mama Cecil and her husband if she is willing to take her time. But maybe your dad invited your Uncle and Aunt from there, Cherrie probably. But it's up to him. We have to meet a Wedding, there's a business friend Koko's wife we can trust."

"It's anyone, the important thing is that he can help as soon as possible."

And the conversation just flows. I'm getting married maybe in less than half a year.

Cherrie called me the next day, I think it had something to do with Simon.

"Cherrie?"

"You know something about Simon's resignation, why I heard it was related to you." Cherrie went straight to the heart of the matter.

"He was in contact with me, he doused your brother when he met accidentally at the restaurant, because he grabbed his girlfriend at the restaurant, but it was just his girlfriend's hand, and it was Sprite, Tata apologized many times, he just doused, then said ****** in front of me. Then I beat him up 1x myself, a few days ago he came back to Jakarta to have people stalk me and Tata, and I all made him a naked model. You want to get a picture of her? There, I'll send it. I just found out he's your Papa's guy after he finished beating him up, yeah, I threatened him, if I didn't resign from his job I sent his picture to your Papa and everyone I knew, apparently he was afraid also your father would kill him himself . Ohh apparently now he's resigning good."

Cherrie is silent, I hope she believes. I don't want to face him directly. Lately he's been really nice, not hostile to Tata anymore. Call Brother Lam and have a chat...

"Papa told me to find out what happened because he came home battered from Jakarta, his men called Derrick Tan. He thinks it's related to Orient because you're also a group with them."

"I'll tell Papa later." Seems he believed. But if confirmed with his men, that's what happened.

"Your problem in Papua is in the project Orient took, everyone's talking about it, you know you got a really bad name here." This one is half my job. But he himself made trouble, I just doused him with gasoline.

"I know, that's Papa's order, I just run it. Lately I feel like my life is just about following orders. It has to be this, it has to be that, everything else is set up. I'm not even being heard..." It seems he had trouble with his own father's arrangements.

"Maybe you just have to find a win-win solution, you know you're wrong on that project. You can't force them to hold all their money. You have to pay for the rights to the work they've done, if you ask for leniency you have to speak the truth, not impose your own will." I tried to help her by giving her my point of view.

"You know the problem?"

"Everyone in the community is talking about you and vilifying you, if you outsmart people so much that just about any time everyone else will also make things difficult for you, no one will want to work with you anymore. That's just advice, it's up to you...But I don't like my company being made a scapegoat for your problems. It's your own fault, it has nothing to do with us even if we're your rivals." He laughed there.

"Our company and your Boss aren't really hostile. They've met, and it seems I'll be introduced to someone in Leung's family. This business bullshit is making me sick. It was as if I was just a superior seedling with golden blood that was prepared to become another seed pair. Just to keep the family's big name."

"Ohhh really? You've been betrothed to Leung's family?" It's new news I've never heard of.

"This is a matchmaking from Grandpa to Grandpa who likes to play mahjong together. It's funny, my life is even governed by the third generation above me. Sometimes I think I just go to a place where nobody knows me, and open a small retail store, work like a normal person... Maybe I could have a normal life partner too."

"You can't do that." I immediately threw out his idea. She laughs.

"Sorry Ko, I just feel cornered lately. I just want someone to hear it, it's free to talk to Dad and Mom, Dad has his own happy life, Mom also finds her own happiness, I'm being told this and that. Life is weird sometimes, other people say I live like Cinderella, but instead I envy the lives of ordinary people and want to leave my life."

"You have another family that can support you if you want to leave...."

"Papa Lam, Cece Anita you mean, if I ask for their help, their lives will be the same hell because of Papa. I still have a heart not to trouble others..."

"Maybe secretly." He was silent with my words.

"See, I don't know Ko, maybe I'm just being depressed lately, maybe I just miss the streets in Hong Kong. Missing home, maybe later I will give up and accept this matchmaking, maybe later she will not be so annoying..." He laughed to himself.

"If you want help just say it, maybe your Papa Lan can work on it, even if you're right, you can't make your father know. If there won't be another war."

"I'll consider your training. That's it, thanks for the time and all your advice. You're good sometimes. I wish I could take you from Cece Anita. " He laughed at his crazy idea. "Well, that's Ko Derrick's bye."

I saw my phone disconnected. Poor Cherrie, hopefully she can find her happiness. Maybe the matchmaking works who knows, the matchmaking is not a bad thing entirely it seems.
