Restore Your Smile

Darrell's Matchmaking (1)

The issue of Darrell getting more serious in the company, finally got a response from the superior. Shortly thereafter, a decision was handed down by the President Director. Darrell was appointed Director.

Of course, the furore happened again within the company. The pros and cons are back. Andreas, who must have been a pro, was surprised by the decision taken by the Big Brother. This decision is different from their previous talks, in which Darrell will be appointed Director, if he has left his knowledge to Darrell and is ready to retire.

This made Andreas a little anxious. Can it be said that with the appointment of Darrell, his brother has acknowledged the ability of his son? Then, what about her? Does this mean in the near future he will be disabled?

To answer the turmoil, Andreas finally went back to the Big Brother.

"Sister, what's going on? Why did you suddenly make a decision like this?" ask her straight to the heart of the conversation.

Getting such a question, Adrian laughed instead. "Why indeed? Isn't that decision supposed to make you happy?" He asked back.

"Of course happy! But this is different from our previous conversation! Didn't you make a policy to limit the number of family members in the Director's chair in order to avoid the practice of nepotism? What if this decision worsens our corporate image?" the word Andreas masks the real turmoil.

"Just calm. Who would dare to protest my decision? I didn't take decisions haphazardly just because of a depressed issue, Dik. I'm using data! Show me when was the last time the company was able to experience a surge in sales profits with numbers this high? Show me also which division has managed to rank the best sales for three consecutive quarters?" adrian clear.

Seeing his sister speechless, Adrian continued his sentence. "Your son deserves it. This was a form of appreciation of the achievements he had carved. You don't have to worry about nepotism rumors that might be heard. That'll break easily. Instead, now you have to worry about your fate in the future. Do not let your achievements be defeated by your own son, "the adrian god.

Hearing the implied sentence that the Big Brother said, made Andreas calm. It is thus certain that her brother did not intend to replace her position with Darrell. Since his main goal had already been achieved, Andreas implored himself.

With the appointment of Darrell as Director, it makes Andreas more driven in achieving his dream. Just one more step! Just one more big moment! After all Darrell was already on a level with Celine. As long as there is one trigger, surely Celine's position as heir can be shaken. Especially if it is proven that Darrell's performance is much more profitable for the company than Celine.

Andreas meets Darrell in his study.

"Congratulations, Son! Papa is really proud of you! It was unexpected that your position could be upgraded to Director by your own uncle! And that's in just one year!" andreas said as he hugged, then patted his son on the back.

"Oh yeah? I thought it was Papa who applied to Om Adrian to raise my position, " replied Darrell in a nonchalant manner.

"No, Son! It was purely his own decision! He recognizes your ability! If you look at this, it could be that you can also be considered as an heir, right? Especially if it is proven that in the future the company is more developed in your hands than Celine!" sahut Andreas while holding both shoulders of his son.

Darrell took off his father's grip, then sat back in his chair. "Eitherway. Don't think too far, Pa .... Just today I was raised to the Director's seat, do we have to directly target the heir seat? Don't be too greedy and don't rush .." Darrell replied reminding his papa.

"Not greedy! If you are more worthy than Celine, why do we have to obey the rules of the hereditary hierarchy? Just because Celine was the daughter of the first child? After all, Celine has also violated the rules of the family that has always adhered to patriarchal culture!

Papa doesn't mean to hurry, son .... I just want to prepare myself as well as possible. So that when the opportunity arrives, we can immediately reach it. From the beginning, the strategy must be prepared! Anyway you just calm down! Let Papa take care of everything! Your part keeps your achievements like this! Understood?" andrew asked his son.

Darrell can only sigh at the Father's behavior. "Yes .... Yes .... It's up to Papa .." he replied, more not to extend the conversation.

Andrew was quite satisfied with his son's answer. And he was determined to continue his plan. It starts with finding the right mate candidate for the Son.

"Sorry, is it true that you are Andreas Adipratama?" Someone asked him.

"really. You ...." Andreas' words came to a halt when he saw the face of the man who called out to him. That face looks familiar. He tried to remember who this man who was smiling was friendly to him.

"Sammy! Sammy, right?!" it was when he finally remembered it. The man called Sammy was now laughing loudly hearing Andreas calling his name.

The two middle-aged men immediately engaged in a familiar conversation. They exchange news and occasionally reminisce about the past.

Samuel Austus Utamjaya, often called Sammy by his friends to make it easier to call him. Andreas and Sammy met in college when they both majored in Business Management.

Sammy is the successor to his family's company which is engaged in real estate. Although Andreas is not the main heir to the family business, but the similarity of fate in which the two must devote their future to the family company, makes them familiar.

Their conversation continued right through to the conversation about the child. Apparently the two again have a similar fate where they are only blessed by one baby. Incidentally again their children both follow in the footsteps of the Father, where both majored in Business and Management. The difference is, Sammy's daughter is still in her last year of college and is now completing her thesis.

"Does your child have a boyfriend or a fiancee?" andreas asked worriedly. This encounter with his best friend reminded him of his purpose. He knows very well the family background and strength of his best friend's company. And if it were true that they could be a match, wouldn't that be something extraordinary?

Hearing Andreas' question, Samuel could only shake his head and smile wryly. On the other hand, Andreas who saw him cheered inwardly. But he also remained tense waiting for what reason the Young Miss did not have a partner at an age worthy enough to have it.

As if knowing that his friend was waiting for his invasion, Samuel finally decided to speak as he was. "My son is a little tomboyish, Dre. His attitude and speech were a bit haphazard, "he said as he pinched his forehead which began to throb in light of the Princess's behavior.

Hearing that explanation, Andreas' smile widened. To be honest, he had imagined another more frightening reason. Either maybe his best friend's daughter has a special illness, or maybe her appearance is somewhat different from most people.

"It just seems like your daughter fits my son, Sam! Darrell is too quiet and careless! He needs a brave girl who can tear apart his defenses!" exclaim Andreas excited.

"really?" samuel with wide eyes. Didn't expect her best friend to welcome her daughter's temperament.

"Really! Why would I lie?! I'm also worried about my son. He never had a serious relationship with a girl. But fortunately when I offered her a match, she agreed. It seems like his mind has already started to open up about marriage. So how? Do you agree that we're trying to find them? Who knows your soul mate!" andreas Proposal.

"Could only. But I have to ask my daughter's opinion first. You see, all this time, I freed him to choose his own future. His college majors alone he set himself on the grounds of wanting to be the successor to my company, even though I never forced him. Especially about a life partner! I want him to be happy. I hope you understand, Dre .." Samuel explained.

"of course! We're not forcing him. We are just facilitating their meeting. If it doesn't fit, it already does. I also want my son to be happy with his marriage, "Andreas replied.

The two exchanged contact numbers. Samuel promised to contact Andrew when his daughter decided. Andreas promises that if Samuel's daughter agrees to meet, she will ask Darrell to come to her best friend's town to remember that they live in a different city.

Such was the business meeting that brought other benefits to Andreas. In the hope of getting some good news in the near future from his best friend, Andreas returns to his town.
