Getting ready.

~Happy Reading~

After stopping at the gas station, Aaric sent his location to Jekob. "Sir, how much do you earn a day?" Aaric asked, recalling his promise to the driver to pay him twice a day's wages, before being picked up by Sapta.

"Usually, about 700 to 1.2 if it's night, sir. But since it's still daytime and you're only a few hours old, you'll see." Said the driver politely, not expecting to have finished dropping off Aaric.

"Then you wait for me here. I'm down for a second, I'm going to the ATM." Said Aaric while wearing a hat and glass matannya then get out of the car. All of his cash had been used to rent ships and pay for his captain's services.

Not long after, Aaric got back into the car and handed the driver a hundred thousand dollars in cash. "Please count, sir. Is that enough?" Ask Aaric when handing over the money.

"Alhamdulillah. This is more than enough, sir. Thank you." Thank you." The driver said, no more counting. Because according to his estimates, the money he received could be more than two millions. Aaric gave 2.5 million to her as a thank you for accompanying her and dropping her off.

"Together, Sir. Please continue the journey, I want to go to Indopart." Aaric said and got out of the car, because he was about to buy a drink for him while waiting to be picked up by Sapta. The driver nodded respectfully with a grateful heart.

Moments later, Sapta's car was parked in front of Indopart waiting for Aaric. He had informed her of his arrival and was asked to wait, as Aaric was finishing his drink.

"Sapta, did something happen in Sero?" Aaric asked, after sitting in the car and seeing that he was not picked up by Sapta himself. But there was a driver with them.

"There, Sir. But it will be explained by Mr. Jobob, sir." Sapta answered as Jekob had told him. "What do you want to eat? Let me call Mr. Jekob, sir. Just wanted to leave, Mr. Jekob reminded it, so that he did not buy wrong." Sapta conveys what is asked by Jekob, while distracting his boss from the problems in Sero.

"Let's just say, I asked to buy fried chicken and french fries." Said Aaric, the food that came to his mind and could still be eaten in the situation he was in.

Fine, Sir. I'll call Mr. Jekob." Sapta immediately contacted Jekob to convey what Aaric had told him. Sapta's opportunity to postpone various questions that will be asked by his boss.

When he arrived in Sero, Jekob had been waiting for him and immediately delivered to his private room. Fried chicken and french fries have been prepared on a sofa table in his private room. Aaric immediately ate, as he was already very hungry. The breakfast is only cereal and milk, which is also done to drain his energy.

After lunch, Jekob invited Aaric to talk about the results of his meeting with the Directors and also the latest developments that occurred in the office. Aaric nodded in agreement, everything that was done by Jekob.

"Jekob, are you twisting to tell me what's going on? As for the work at the office, I already know and believe you can finish it. If to talk about it, I better go home to the apartment and you come there for us to talk about. Now I don't bring anything work-related." Aaric said seriously, while looking at Jekob.

"Don't I tell you that today I'm going out and just bringing my personal phone?" Ask Aaric, who realized that Jekob was stalling, or was talking in a twist.

"I'm not buying time, sir. Just give me a chance, let me take a short break after lunch." Said Jekob slowly, worried that his boss was emotional and angry.

"Good, Sir. I'll call Sapta to explain everything, because he knows and understands." Said Jekob, then contacted Sapta to enter the boss's private room.

"Sapta, say everything you say to the boss. No one is left behind." Said Jekob, when Sapta was in the room.

"good. Ready, Mr. Jobob." Sapta said politely. Then faced his boss to convey what had been conveyed to Jekob.

"Look, Sir. I got a report from a member who secured Miss Carren's office, that the lady at home came to Miss Carren's office." Sapta's speech came to a halt, as his boss suddenly stood up with an angry face.

"Is Miss Carren in the office? Do you know what they're talking about? Didn't I ask you to add people and bring a recording device?" Said Aaric while walking away from his chair.

"Yes, Sir. You sit down again, so that Sapta can deliver well." Jekob said he tried to calm his boss down. He was still worried about his boss's condition. Aaric nodded and sat back down, taking a deep breath to ease his emotions.

"We have done as you have commanded. In a moment, the two people standing guard in Miss Carren's office will arrive. They took turns with the two people I sent in their place. According to them, today Miss Carren entered the office." Sapta explained, while waiting for the arrival of the two members.

Not long after, the two of them arrived and were asked to go straight into the boss's private room. Sapta prepared all the equipment to play the footage that took place within Carren's office.

"Before you hear this, we'll report too. Madam didn't come alone, there was one security car with her. I went straight down, but no one came into Miss Carren's office. Only Madam entered, but I stayed outside just in case.

"good. Next, your boss will set it up again. Try listening to the tape." Said Aaric who was impatient to hear what his Mama had told Carren.

Jekob gestured for Sapta to play the tape, then walked up to his boss just in case. Upon hearing his mother's warning to Carren, Aaric spontaneously stood up in anger. But Jekob, stroking his boss' back slowly to calm him down. Knowing that, Aaric sat back down. He heard the recording with a fickle face and emotions.

"Ok, thank you. Please leave the tape there and you can go out for a break." Aaric said to the two security members. They nodded respectfully, then left the room.

"Sapta, the footage is saved and send for me. Now you prepare my 'coral. If so, tell Mr. Jekob." Aaric to Sapta. Jekob was surprised to hear what his boss said about 'corals'. Because it is a boss modif car that is only used in emergencies. Sapta was also surprised, when he heard his boss wanted to use the car. But he stayed alert, then went out to prepare it.

"After the 'corals' are ready, you and Sapta drive me to the apartment to shower and change. We're gonna go to the devil tonight." Said Aaric then standing with a cold face and stiff jaw.
