...ADRIAN...
Today Opa will come to my office. He said there was something to talk to me about and it was important. I can already guess that this is definitely not far from the business of taking over Natadipura Group. Opa will definitely force. The old Bangka is just annoying, he has not given up even though it has been 3 months.
Our relationship is straining right now. It could be that one of the factors that made him come because he wanted to improve our relationship. But the question is, when is our relationship ever okay? Both Opa and I, from the past often clashed with each other because of differences in vision.
"Excuse me Mr. Adrian, Mr. Willy has arrived and he is now in the waiting room for the meeting."
Huhh.Hurry up, I think he's late. If you can't even come.
"Tell him to come here, I'm lazy to the meeting room."
"Understand Sir." Ray immediately stepped out after getting an order from me.
Now, I take a deep breath to neutralize my emotions. Suddenly there was a feeling of discomfort if I had to meet Opa. Good thing Nadine just called me and it calmed me down a little. Nadine's soft voice seemed to give me strength and peace from far away.
My wife called just to ask for a special room for her personal belongings. The reason is, the walk in closet in our room is full he said. Lately he really likes shopping until his goods pile up.
Do I mind? Answer's no. Nadine's my wife, not anyone else. He has the right to enjoy the facilities I provide and to buy anything with my money without limit. I work from morning to late at night as well for who else if not him?
I'm happy to spoil him. Moreover, seeing her sweet smile when she was happy because I obeyed her request for shopping. It felt like there was a satisfaction in me that was hard for me to describe.
Honestly, I've never been this royal to another woman even to my ex-Naomi. Not because I'm stingy. I rarely spend time with him alone.
Our dating style was not normal at the time. I never asked her out on a routine date. Never took her on vacation. Never gave him a gift.
All we did was do a normal dinner and once an ONS until Naomi got pregnant because of my careless carelessness.
Believe me, I only did that for the first and last time with Naomi. Unlike Nadine who every hour, minute, and second always increases my passion so I want to continue pouncing on her when the opportunity arises.
With Nadine, I always lost control and was able to defy all the rules and principles of life that exist in this world. Only him.
"My dear granddaughter, Adrian Rhys Natadipura. We finally meet again after a long time no see." Opa greeted me as he spread his arms wide, hoping that I would embrace him.
Dream Old Man, I won't do that.
Realizing that I had ignored him, he finally lowered his hand back and smiled awkwardly.
"Hello Sister..." Arjuna who was tailing behind Opa's back now made a sound.
"Arjuna, you came here?" I gasped as I scrunched my forehead.
Of all the people who come with Opa, I don't expect Arjuna to be one of them. How could my sister be with Opa?
Arjuna smiled and approached me to hug. Of course I replied this time, because Arjuna is my sister. From the side, I could glance at Opa's smiling expression wryly looking at my closeness and Arjuna's.
"Please sit on the couch, we'll have a chat there!" I invite both of my guests to relax.
Since I didn't want to convolute, I just shot Opa with my question. "Is there any need for Opa to come here?"
Opa Willy lowered his head to chuckle, "Hmmm.you know that Opa is here to ask for help..."
"definitely. There's no way Opa's coming to see me because he misses. That's impossible isn't it?" my sarcasm. "Tell me, what does Opa want?"
Opa glanced at Arjuna briefly before speaking to me. "Do you know Tiffany Young?"
"Not known but I know a little. She is the daughter of the sole heir of the Young Enterprise business empire after her parents died two years ago in a car accident."
"To be precise, you seem to have done a background-check on Tiffany."
I put my shoulder out. "Not really, I think it's common knowledge because his name is plastered on any news page."
"Alright, Opa will just go to the point."
That's what I've been waiting for.
"As you know, Adrian. Opa knows Tiffany's family very well and we have a very good relationship. In terms of business and family. When your father went bankrupt because of your mother Imelda's abandonment, it was Tiffany's father who helped support Alan's economy."
"Lantas, what would Opa want me for?"
Opa turned the corner of his lips up. "Tiffany has been living in New York for a long time, and tomorrow she will come to Bali. Can Opa ask that Tiffany stay at your house for a while?"
Degh's...
Well, this is the culmination of the limit of patience I've been harboring since. Opa.
"can't. I don't want to," I refused.
"Why Adrian?"
"Well, is this not sane? Where's the good sense of the venerable Mr Willy Natadipura? With ease Opa asked Tiffany to stay at my house..On what basis?"
"Tiffany's life is currently threatened, she is being chased by a man named Hans-her ex-lover. Tiffany is in danger because Hans is a fairly persistent person. Every day Tiffany was terrorized and threatened to be willing to marry Hans" Opa explained.
"What is his relationship with me? This opa is weird! I like to add to my life problems. It is true that Opa lives in the Netherlands and no longer sets foot in Bali. My life is so calm!" my emotions were literally boiling like water that had just been cooked by fire.
"Sister, calm down first.talk this out." Arjuna tried to mediate my argument with Opa, he held my body to stand up straight against Opa.
"How can we talk about it? From Valerie's time alone, Opa has crossed her boundaries by asking Valerie to stay home. Though he knows very well how the reputation of a Valerie who incidentally is a criminal?!! And now Tiffany?" I stared hard at my opinion.
So sharp, my gaze could have let out sharp crystal rocks like at the north pole. This old man tested my patience.
Opa again refuted, "The Tiffany family has helped our family Adrian. Tiffany came to Opa and cried for help. There is no harm in us helping him when he is in this kind of distress, as a form of return! Opa can't bear to see it..."
"Your mansion has a tight security level, which is why Opa wants Tiffany to stay with you. At least for a few days to avoid Hans' pursuit" he continued.
I scoffed mockingly, "Why not report the authorities or hire a hired man to arrest him?"
"It was done, but it failed. Hans was so strong and could escape the chase. He's no ordinary man."
I lifted my index finger and pointed it out to Opa, "Listen, Opa, my house is not a shelter. But as for where I live and my wife, a place where I can embrace peace and comfort. The matter of him being pursued by Hans is his business, not mine. There are more important things to take care of than this!"
"Don't ketus like that Adrian!" Opa did not like my tone that seemed rude. He pulled my finger in front of him.
"I'm talking facts. Tiffany is just a stranger, no need to make a fuss. If you want to talk about return of gratitude, here who have been helped and benefited it Natadipura Group. So it's Opa, Aunt Rose, Om Farhan and Papa's job to return the favor to her..."
"I wasn't involved, because I never felt helped and never asked for help either. There is no debt of gratitude between us. Even if there is, I also still do not permit him to stay in my mansion."
I certainly don't want to lose the debate defending my argument. It's crazy to let another woman stay in the mansion. Did this old man forget I was married?
"Opa please Adrian, just follow Opa's request this time. Opa doesn't ask for much. Yesterday you rejected Opa's offer to take over Natadipura Group. For this one Opa please, help Opa. Allow Tiffany to stay at your house," the look on Opa's face paled.
It's smart that he's acting to get mercy from me. It's not that easy, Old Man.
"Don't Tiffany, the workers who have pocketed my trust alone won't let me enter the mansion carelessly. They had to stay in the employee pavilion which was 50m away from the main residence that I occupied. Opa knows I really uphold privacy. I don't like strangers hanging around the house. Only the nuclear family can come freely. My decision is final!" my cerocos was hard until Opa rolled back his face in shock.
The tension between us was quite tense. The atmosphere was so quiet and heated. If I don't remember Nadine at home, maybe I'll tear the rest of my room apart and destroy anything that my eyes can see.
I promised Nadine I wouldn't be easily swayed by emotions either when I was with her, or when I was away from her.
"Opa will make an offer. If you want to help Opa in solving this Tiffany problem, Opa will immediately transfer 55% of Natadipura Group's assets to your sisters..Arjuna and Arga."
Arjuna turned his head quickly like lightning striking. He was surprised his Opa made an unexpected statement. No doubt, Adrian also gave the same surprised response. There's a wind what this Opa looks resigned. He became suspicious.
"As you asked, right? Opa will sign the transfer of assets quickly. And Opa will no longer force you to take over the leadership, as long as you allow Tiffany to stay in your mansion."
I can't be confused and confused as to what to respond to. The reason is, the business of transferring assets Natadipura Group is quite strange and many obstacles. It's been 3 months of this affair, far from the prediction that I thought could be completed in less than 1 month, as I promised my two younger brothers.
Should I accept his offer?
