Zahira follows Kenzo walking behind the tall man with Jimi beside him. It's been a week since the incident involving that physical fight. Zahira glanced at the two bodyguards who always followed her everywhere. Not to take care of him, because Zahira can take care of himself, but to keep him from going anywhere even run away. It was done by Kenzo because Zahira had tried to escape the day after their conversation. Zahira even had time to fight the two bodyguards were lobbied apartment witnessed by many residents who would come out or just come home. Making him the center of attention at that time, especially when Kenzo casually carrying Zahira like a sack of rice.
"You know where we're going? "
Kenzo asked started the conversation since their meeting this morning.
"Where do I know! " Thus Zahira who got a slow elbow from Jimi who walked beside him.
Kenzo stopped just as they got to the front and was greeted by his personal driver with the car ready. Kenzo turned and looked into Zahira's dark bead, curious.
"We're going to Adira's company, what do you think? this is the first time you will be there__ you will meet the woman who was betrothed to me. So give a little if later needed. I'll keep an eye on you. "
Zahira did not reply, he was more interested in the owner of Adira himself, or anything else that was there other than the matchmaking that he thought was not important at all.
His phone rang with a message notification, Zahira reached into his pocket and opened it immediately. Of course it did not escape Kenzo who sat next to him.
Zahira stared at the message for a little while before replying. The message was from Wewen who sent an address. Zahira knows whose address it belongs to, the address where Dona works or maybe the usual place she goes to. Wewen also sent out a name that made Zahira frown in confusion. A name that Zahira asked for, sent the package. Zahira clearly did not know him. During his life, there were very few people he knew.
"Who sent you a message? "
Zahira clucked no like. "Nobody" he replied.
"Jawab or I will destroy your phone!"
Jimi and the driver who sat in front shuddered in horror at Kenzo's clear tone of speech that was holding back the anger. They clearly know that Kenzo is a person who does not like to be denied. The big question that was also in their heads, Why did their boss meddle in Zahira's affairs. They clearly saw something here. Although Jimi had suspected from the beginning Zahira was forced to work with him until given a luxurious residence, Jimi only guessed it was for the reason his master who likes to manage the lives of people as he pleases, all this time he had never seen his master interfere in the personal affairs of others let alone women.
"Wewen. " Answer Zahira slowly.
"Disregarding my orders again? "
"You're saying he can't meet, he's just texting!"
Zahira protested in an annoyed tone.
"Give me your phone. "
Zahira stared at him fiercely who was reciprocated with a look of indisputability typical of Kenzo. Grunting disliked, inevitably Zahira gave her phone.
Kenzo checked the incoming messages and snorted exasperatedly. He casually opened the window and threw Zahira's phone out. Of course the phone was immediately thrown into the asphalt and destroyed. The surprised Zahira immediately raised her angry gaze. His face was even red.
Zahira said nothing after that, she just kept quiet with her cold face. Kenzo knew the girl beside him was angry at him, not just annoyed as usual, this time really angry. But he doesn't care, for him his orders are absolute, he doesn't like Zahira still being in contact with Wewen whatever kind of relationship it is. He didn't even understand why he didn't like it so much. He would only instantly feel anger when the girl beside him was in close contact with any man.
Upon arriving at the destination, Kenzo came out followed by Jimi and Zahira. Jimi who asked him to talk to explain the relationship between the two companies was just ignored.
Even the strange views addressed to him by the employees there and some people they met were not given at all. Though curious, he chose to ignore. They watch Zahira with a curious look because Kenzo has never had a female staff around him. His assistant has always been a boy.
Entering the meeting room, they were greeted by shareholders who had already attended. Kenzo chose the chili and immediately sat down in its place.
"Thank you for your presence, I'm so glad you invested your shares here."
Greet the old man whom Zahira estimates is close to sixty.
"Continue the discussion, Don't beat around the bush" replied Kenzo coldly.
"She is Gunawan, the president of the director here.The woman is his son, Adel." whispered Jimi to the seemingly confused Zahira. Zahira nodded at a glance in response. He looked at the woman who had been trying to attract Kenzo's attention even though it was not glimpsed at all.
"I'm sorry if it makes you unhappy, here I will introduce and announce that my son Adel Gunawan will be my successor. He will replace my lead next month as I will soon be undergoing intensive treatment. Please all give support. "
"How trash can seem to lead the company, I don't invest my money to get a loss." Kenzo said in a derogatory tone.
The entire person there looked at him with a look of disbelief, even though there were some who seemed to agree. Gunawan himself who heard his son insulted like that seemed to hold back his anger, obviously both his jaws hardened. While Adel like getting rejection from his love instead of shame.
"What do you mean? wouldn't you agree to a closer relationship to bring two companies together?"
Kenzo laughed cynically, he looked at the other middle-aged man sitting next to Adel with a condescending look. He is Gunawan's cousin who is none other than Adel's biological father as Danu said.
"Who? Me? Are you dreaming? I'm not interested in that stupid match. I invested my shares not because of my father, but only because of a business opportunity."
There were whispers in the room after Kenzo's statement. Zahira could see that Kenzo was enjoying the atmosphere he was creating. Zahira did not care about their conversation, his attention was more towards Gunawan who seemed to be enduring the pain. The sweat fell on his side. Out of nowhere, he walked beside Gunawan and immediately crouched down.
"You okay sir? Your face is pale and you sweat. "
Everyone there turned their attention to Gunawan who did not look okay. Kenzo finally glanced at Adel to see the expression of the girl when he saw the person who had the status of his father in a bad state. A thin grin appeared on his lips when Adel looked unconcerned. He did get up and check on his father as if very worried, but his clever brain could see that the woman was just playing a show.
Kenzo got up, told Jimi to call the ambulance before pulling Zahira's hand which was still helping Gunawan to his feet. Make the handle come off. Jimi quickly responded to replace Zahira while talking to the hospital.
Zahira who does not know why just follow him to the car park immediately greeted the driver and two bodyguards who had been monitoring there. A minute passed Jimi was with them again. It seems after calling him immediately after them.
"Get a new phone for Zahira, I want her tonight. "
said Kenzo who spoke to Jimi.
"Good sir. "
"Is with you? "
Now Kenzo's question is directed at Zahira who is still silent. Despite knowing the answer, Kenzo only wanted to see what was inside Zahira's head at the moment. What drives him looks caring to others, unlike him who usually tends to be indifferent.
"I was just socializing like Jimi suggested. Seeing others in pain should not be helped, " replied Zahira flatly.
"Jimi? "
It turned out that Kenzo only caught the word from Zahira's explanation. Of course his interaction with Gunawan had no effect whatsoever, he asked just to check something. But Zahira's answer that carries the name of her secretary makes her heart suddenly become hot.
His eyes turned to Jimi in front of those who were already upset. Jimi gulped his saliva nervously before giving an explanation.
"You guys close? " the accusation.
"Ti. no sir. It was just a casual conversation when I picked up Miss Zahira at her old residence. " Said Jimi nervously.
"You're so ridiculous! Have you just been jealous? Don't make me want to laugh. Your attitude is ambiguous know! " take Zahira.
"If I'm jealous why? "
Zahira choked on her own saliva, she coughed with a face of shock. Jimi who was also surprised could only be silent did not want to be hit again.
"Don't make things up. I know what your goal is, honorable Mr. Kenzo. Don't make a lot of people think what's going on between us is real. " Said Zahira in her tone.
"Which part is pretending? "
Kenzo's voice is no less indifferent.
Zahira snorted exasperatedly. He realized he would never win against Kenzo to argue. He would rather close his eyes and calm himself. Kenzo smiled happily. The debate he won from the stubborn woman beside him made him very entertained.
The smile certainly did not escape the eyes of Jimi who saw it from the front rearview mirror.
Elsewhere, in the hospital. Adel and a middle-aged man named Bambang were sitting in the waiting room of the ER. Both of them looked riled up, but it was definitely not because of someone who was being examined inside.
"How could he refuse me? Uncle.. do something. " Adel said with an angry face.
"Calm down, I'll think of a way, you just need to convince the old man to stand up for his decision."
Adel and Bambang immediately got up when a middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful came and immediately embraced Adel with tears that have been reminisced on both cheeks.
"What about your papa? Is she okay? "
"Calm mama. Sit first. Mama should also pay attention to health ", Adel said sweetly and attentively. He made the woman he called his mother embrace him again.
Adel and Bambamg exchanged glances for a moment before Bambang moved from there quietly. Apparently, his mother's relationship with Bambang is not good enough.
