Substitute Mother

Chapters 128. Jeanno, The Businessman

“What? Breaking cooperation? But you signed everything, Jeanno. You put your company at a great disadvantage if it doesn't continue this project”

Jeanno rubbed his ears as a result of the windbreaker with Sharin's shriek. Just now Sharin was prancing with excitement when Jeanno called her in person and wanted to meet at her office. His mind was already adorned with a beautiful imagination about Jeanno who again wanted it compared to the lowly Nayara.

But what power, once he reached the man's room, Jeanno unceremoniously said immediately the termination of the cooperation relationship. Without even allowing himself to sit. Hearing that certainly destroyed all the beautiful shadows along the journey.

“You don't need to lecture me about such things, Sharin. I know enough about my position, I've counted my losses. That's why I'm asking you to meet in person. Actually I could have disconnected via telephone” Jeanno enforce his seat, carrying his chin leaning on the back of his hand. “But I guess it would be very unprofessional”

“But why, Jeanno? I thought we were okay”

Jeanno laughing. “All right? you slapped my wife, Sharin. I'll never be okay with it”

Sharin folded her hands. “Oh, so he complained to you?”

“Not”

“Then? Do you know where you're from?”

“I came home with my wife's swollen cheeks and the tip of her lips was hurt. You think what should I do other than ask what happened to her”

Sharin rolled her eyes lazily. “That's the same as him pitting”

“At first he said he had a toothache. Besides, if he's honest, what's wrong? Still doesn't change the fact that you've hurt Nayara”

The woman in front of him looked upset. He slammed his body in Jeanno's front seat even though it had not been welcomed by the owner. “You are willing to lose billions due to the cancellation of our cooperation, for the sake of that woman? Just right Jeanno”

“I was even willing to lose my throne as the heir to Alexander's business first. I hope you remember. And ‘that woman’ is my wife, Nayara. Who I love at all times. The loss I have to pay due to the cancellation of our agreement is nothing compared to me having to continue the project with the person who has hurt my wife physically”

“Listen to me, Sharin. I've been generous enough not to drag you to the police for a previous case”

Sharin berdehem. Feeling nervous when Jeanno has opened up about his past. “Then? You want to put me in jail too this time just for slapping your wife? You should know, Jean. Nayara's mouth that insolently said to me. If not so I definitely don't slap him”

“He's like that because he's tired of your attitude, Sharin. It's been years and you still haven't given up. At first I did want to report you to the police, but Nayara prevented him”

“Then? You want me to thank him for undoing your intention to report me to the police?”

Jeanno looked straight at Sharin. “I want you to stop. Aren't you tired, Sharin? It's been years. I have a family, you already have a husband”

“But I love you, Jeanno!”

“Not” Jeanno shakes. “You don't love me. I was just your obsession in college. You've never failed to get any man in your entire life. I'm the first man to reject you. That's why you feel defeated. I know you, Sharin”

“You as hard as you try, I'm still Jeanno who only loves Nayara. You're wasting your time and energy on a man who won't look at you at all. You have everything, Sharin.Go home and start serving your husband. I know Bryan Dharma. He's a good figure. If you forget about your obsession with me and start learning to love Bryan, I'm sure you'll get the same happiness I've always felt towards Nayara”

Sharin chose to shut up. Honestly, he had prepared himself if Jeanno would hit him hard for slapping Nayara. But instead, the man attacked her with gentle intonation.

“We were good friends before. Growing up together in a familiar environment. I know you still have a conscience. Until High School I knew you as a good Sharin and a warm person. So what happened in college, hm? Has the world of modeling turned you into a conceited and arrogant figure? Whose will should be obeyed just because you feel superior?”

“I know I've had a hand in your mess over the last few years. But our relationship ended long before I knew Nayara. I didn't do it because you weren't attractive, but because I did realize that we didn't fit in. Wouldn't the forced thing not end well? stop hating Nayara, Sharin. He's not as bad as you think. He didn't take yours”

Sharin raised her face, venturing back at Jeanno's gaze. “You were my first love”

“Oh, I don't know if you think I do. But it still has no effect on anything now”

Sharin nodded softly. “I know”

“So.. can you stop?”

The woman was silent for a few minutes. Until Jeanno feels bored and hungry, but considering Sharin is still silent, he will wait.

“Will I try”

Jeanno smiled with satisfaction. “You can start by apologizing to Nayara. But if you're not ready, that's okay. I'll wait until you're ready”

“I met with Sharin earlier”

Jeanno finished the last bribe from the lunchbox that Judith had brought. A few minutes after Sharin left his room, Judith came to bring him lunch. It's been like that since Nora took 3 days off.

“He was out of here”

Judith squinted her eyes. “You what? Tease the master again?”

The one asked chuckled. Fortunately, he did not choke on his drink. “No. I did ask him to come, but to break our cooperation contract”

“What? But.. didn't you sign it?” Jeanno nodded.

“I am a fool, but if the agreement has been agreed, then canceled unilaterally will it not cause harm from the party who canceled it?”

Jeanno nodded. “You're right, and you're not stupid”

“But the reason why? If it was just because he was a frenetic, I guess master had no problem with it”

“I just wanted to teach him a lesson for slapping you. And one more, I ‘problem’ with him the frenetic”

Jeanno recalled how uncomfortable she was when some time ago they held a meeting at the cafe and Sharin's feet mischievously teased her feet under the table.

“Woaah... Just for slapping me? Sir.. think of the losses you face”

“That's no problem for me, Judith. I just want to teach him a lesson. And I think he'll step down after we had a chance to talk”

“Oh yes?”

Jeanno nodded again. “I asked him to apologize to you, well with Nayara. But I don't think he's ready” yet

“Has fast as he passed me he just looked at me flat. Though I was ready to fight him, or hit him with a stockbox if he wanted to slap me again”

Jeanno chuckles. “No need. We gave Sharin time to think about all the mistakes he had made. Moreover, the cancellation of this cooperation is not only me who suffered financial losses, his side also. Only my porcelain is bigger”

“I'm sorry, mr”

“For?”

“Because you have to lose a lot of money. I'm very satisfied if you manage to make that woman kapok. But from the side of the master also lose”

“Gosh you're still thinking that? lt's okay. I'd rather lose billions than have to meet constantly with women who have bad intentions for me and my family”

Judith gawking. ‘Better to lose miliran’ he said? Is that worthless in the eyes of Jeanno Alexander?

“Omong-by the way, thanks for the provisions. I really like it. If you can just continue even though Nora has finished her leave”

“Continue sending lunch means?” Jeanno nodded. “You mind?”

Judith shook her head, of course she didn't mind. “No sir. Not at all”

“You've eaten?” Judith nodded. Lies. He only ate the pudding from the morning. The only food he could eat without going out again.

“You look pale. Are you okay?”

“Eh? Yes. I'm fine”

Jeanno. “About our agreement. Do you mind?”
