The Casa Del Castaneda

Ideal Partner

“Don't mind what he says, Son,” Rogelio said. He grabbed Paloma's shoulder. “Fine, you go to your room,” said the middle-aged man again. Rogelio paid no heed to the strange look that Rafael laid on him. He looked calm, even when he heard the ringing of a cell phone from inside his blazer pocket.

Rogelio reached into his pocket, to pick up the phone that kept ringing. The middle-aged man checked the incoming call. Sebastian's name is clearly on the screen. “Mr Castaneda?” hello Rogelio politely.

Sebastian sat in his great chair. In the presence of the handsome widower who is the ruler of the widest olive garden in Porcuna, there are several maps that have just been examined. “How are you, Mr Gallardo?” reply Sebastian with a heavy voice.

“Very good, Mr. Castaneda. Any latest news?” ask Rogelio.

“Ya, sir. The cooperation proposal is ready. We just need to negotiate further. There are several files that must be signed,” Sebastian said. He was talking to Rogelio. However, his memory was directed to Paloma. Young woman with beautiful hazel eyes. Sebastian smiled to himself. He felt stupid at the time. Immediately, he dismissed all thoughts about Rafael Hernandez's wife.

“Alright, Mr. Castaneda. However, in this cooperation I have given all responsibilities to my representatives. So, those who will take care of everything,” explains Rogelio. “My representatives will come to Spain as soon as possible, to your place.”

“Alright, Mr. Gallardo. We can discuss this later in more detail. I'm just telling you about the files that are ready.” Sebastian was silent for a moment. I want to ask Paloma news. However, his tongue felt strange. Finally, Sebastian broke that intention. He went back to talking about the cooperation issues they would establish.

After a while, Rogelio ended his conversation with the ruler Casa del Castaneda earlier. He turned his attention to Paloma and Rafael in turn. Coincidentally, the two of them were still glued to their respective places. “You two, come with me.” Rogelio gestured, for Paloma and Rafael to follow him into the study.

Paloma, who was still carrying a grocery bag, asked for permission to temporarily put the items down. He followed his father-in-law. So did Rafael who did not go to his room.

Upon arrival at the workspace, they sat together on the available sofa. Before starting the conversation, Rogelio re-opened his phone screen. He was replying to a message from someone. After he finished, the middle-aged man kept his mobile phone back. Rogelio was seen putting on a very serious face.

“As I told you, Paloma. Mr. Castaneda and I have agreed to establish a business partnership. He called me earlier. Mr. Castaneda said that the cooperation proposal was ready. There are some files that need to be checked and signed" Rogelio said.

"Since I have decided to assign all responsibility in this cooperation to Paloma, I want you to get ready to leave for Spain as soon as possible. I'll have Enrique prepare the plane tickets and everything that's needed. Including lodging while you are in Spain.” Rogelio turned his gaze to Paloma and Raphael in turn.

“You?” The couple who are about to divorce are talking simultaneously.

“Yes. You guys.” Rogelio.

“Why should we both? I mean, don't you have anyone else to go with me? Why Rafael?” paloma protests.

“Originally I know, Mr. Sebastian doesn't like me. We met in an unpleasant situation. It's not a good idea.” Rafael also rejected Rogelio's decision.

“I've decided. You know for yourself, something I have decided will not be kuralat anymore,” said Rogelio calm, but full of authority. “Listen to me, Paloma. I know you have potential. Carlos said that you were his very smart daughter. Therefore, I want to develop the advantages that exist in you. However, you still lack experience,” explained the owner of Estrella Pharmacies.

“While, Rafael has proven his ability to run a business. Why should I assign someone you don't know, Paloma. It will be too difficult for you to establish communication and unite opinions ...”

“This is a different name?” Rogelio raised his eyebrows. “At least, you guys have lived together,” said the middle-aged man lightly. He even seemed to forget, that he had beaten Rafael to pieces.

“Today I will also tell Enrique to prepare all accommodations for you,” break up Rogelio. He was not willing to accept any more objections. The middle-aged man, invited Paloma out of the study. However, he still held Rafael to stay there.

Rafael, who is still suffering from bruises, does not want to find trouble with his adoptive father. He remained seated in his place, although the eyes and body language of the thirty-year-old man looked uncomfortable. “What's up, Dad?” tanyakanya.

“Listen to me, Son.” Rogelio exhaled heavily. He also fixed his sitting position. “Do you know that Carlos is gone?”

“Yes. Paloma told me just now. Is that why you brought him here, Dad? I hope you didn't think about making my ex-wife a stepmother...”

“Jaga talks, Rafael!” sergeant Rogelio is firm. “How did you get to think that way?” protest the middle-aged man.

“Your attitude towards Paloma is very excessive, Father,” said Rafael did not like.

“I'm just trying to cover the gap that made! Supposedly, you're the one who treated Paloma like that! Not me! What kind of husband are you?” Rogelio's tone sounded so firm. His anger was almost re-ignited, if he did not immediately catch his breath and calm down.

“Father already knew that I did not like this marriage,” Rafael denied.

“Close your mouth!” sergeant Rogelio again. He shook his head slowly. The man with the gray blazer repeatedly exhaled a sigh of complaint. After a moment of silence, Rogelio returned to talking, “I just hope you can improve yourself. You are my son, though my blood does not flow in your body. You don't know that there's a very big reason behind your marriage to Paloma. Reason I can't reveal at this time.” Rogelio rubbed his chin slowly.

“I want you to accompany Paloma to Spain, to take care of everything related to the cooperation with Mr. Castaneda. You have experience working with him. That means, you already know what the character of the man looks like.”

“I have cooperated more than three years with him,” Rafael said.

“That's one of the important points, besides for reasons Paloma who do not have experience,” Rogelio reply.

Rafael laughed cynically. The brown-haired handsome man clucked softly. He did not understand Rogelio's decision. “I wonder, why Dad pointed at Paloma who has not had experience in something like this?” thought.

“Because I have prepared you as his companion,” replied Rogelio lightly.

“Oh, jeez. What the fuck?” cibir Rafael's. “Tatiana was so angry that she returned my suitcase here,”.

“It's much better. The point is, I want you to keep Paloma company. This cooperation is entirely your responsibility. So too with the benefits gained. Remember that! Don't let you do anything, 'cause I keep an eye on you!” threaten Rogelio firmly.
