“Rose, why are you quiet?” samuel asked when he realized that Rose had not followed him.
“Come fast way. Until when are you going to stand there?!” ask again.
“Iya, well.” said Rose while running around small following the senior.
The two of them went back together, walking down the quiet street without a sound.
Every now and then, they seem to stop for a moment, then look at the number of houses attached to the door or on the fence of every house of the population, they are looking for a house owned by the man they will interview today.
“Senior, why didn't senior just contact him? We can ask him to pick us up.” said Rose.
“Ck, is your head in trouble? Why should I remind you? Today they are unlikely to leave the house. We are lucky because the man wants to give us time to interview him.” said Samuel.
“Ah is right too. Uh, senior — ”
“Already, don't talk much. You better shut up.” said Samuel.
“But, the— ”
“If I say shut up then shut up. Your complaints and rants made my ears hurt.” Samuel said in an upset tone.
“Sorry, but, that, that house, isn't the number in the house the same as the one you're looking for?” rose asked as she pointed at a house with an iron fence covered in dark green.
“Why not say it from earlier.” Samuel said. “Come quickly there.” said.
From the beginning I wanted to tell him. But he always cuts my words. Now he blames me for not telling him from the beginning. I am indeed wrong in his eyes. — Inner Rose while walking to follow her senior.
Arriving at the door of the house, Samuel seemed silent for a while, then he pressed the doorbell button.
“Senior, are you sure about his home number? Looks like this house no one.” said Rose.
“Just wait a minute.” Samuel said, he again pressed the bell button once again.
This time, it did not take them long to wait, the door of the house was opened. But unfortunately what they met was the figure of a young girl who was about ten or a dozen years old.
“Uncle and aunt, who are you?” ask the little girl.
“Halo, aunty is— ”
“What is your father named Jordi?” samuel asked the young woman. He also accidentally interrupts Rose's words, almost revealing their identity in time.
“Iya true. Do my uncles and aunts know my father? And is uncle's name Samuel?”
Samuel smiled, a warm smile that calmed the young girl.
“Yes, this uncle Samuel and aunt's name is Rose, we're friends of your father's. Can we meet your father? Is your dad home?” ask Samuel.
The young girl seemed silent for a few seconds. Then then, his face that had looked radiant, now looked grim at once.
“What's up? Why do you suddenly look sad like that?” asked Rose who seemed to understand the mood of the young girl before him.
“A few hours ago, there were three men coming to my house. We never had any debt at all. I don't know why they came and suddenly took my father away forcibly.” said the young girl with a sad look.
“They took your father away by force?” samuel asked, replying with a brief nod from the young girl before him.
“If you may uncle know, what is your name?” ask Samuel.
“Jesi, dad used to call me Jesi.” he replied.
“Alright Jesi. Did you report your father's incident to the police?” asked Samuel who was now crouching, aligning himself with the girl named Jesi.
Jesi shook her head with the same face, sad. “I wanted to report it, but before dad was actually taken away by them, dad told me not to call the police until a guy by the name of Samuel came to the house.”.
“Uncle, uncle says uncle's name is Samuel. Can we call the police now to help my father?” ask Jesi.
Samuel was seen sighing, then then exhaling it violently.
“Jesi.” said Samuel while gently rubbing the top of the head of the young girl. “You take it easy, your father's problem, let this uncle and aunt take care of it. You wait at home quietly, don't worry and worry, okay?” said.
Jesi nodded in response, then smiled broadly at Samuel.
“Okey.” Reply Jesi.
“Smart girl.” said Samuel who still continues to wipe the jesi head.
“Now you enter your house.” said Samuel.
“Em, yes.” replied Jesi while trying to close the door back home. But not until he closed it. Jesi was seen stopping his movements, then looked at Samuel with eyes full of sadness and fear.
“Uncle, aunty, please make sure that my father will be fine.” he said with a tone that had sounded like crying.
“Because to me, dad is the single most important person in my life. After my mother's departure five years ago, right now this is the only father I have. So please, if anything happens to my father, please save him.”.
“Jesi, you take it easy. We'll definitely bring your father back to you. Now, get inside the house, and then don't forget to lock the door properly. One more thing, you must remember not to open the door of your house to just anyone.” Samuel said.
Jesi nodded, then slowly closed the door to her house again, leaving Samuel and Rose who were now staring at each other.
“We will go to the convection company.” Samuel said.
“Yes, I know.” replied Rose who had understood from the beginning that the man who will be interviewed iru must be brought by the people of the company.
“Rose listen to me. Maybe it's a little dangerous, so I'll give you a choice, you can come with me and you can go home now. Whatever you choose, it won't affect my judgment of you.” Samuel said.
Rose chuckled, then then cleared her throat for a moment, she seemed to think but it was not. He only pretends to look like he's thinking, not to buy time but to sneer at his wise-looking senior but what he really is not.
“Senior, is senior sure it won't affect the senior's assessment of me? But I don't think so. The senior's face firmly said that I should go with the senior. Yes, maybe it doesn't affect the assessment in academic terms, but my choice it will definitely affect the assessment of my attitude and my nature. What was my guess of senior wrong?” said Rose.
“Senior rest easy, I'll go with the senior. Anyway, we came here together, so we have to finish it together.” Rose continued.
“Yes, your guess is not at all wrong, it is completely true. I really did not expect that you would think as I thought, as if you could already know the contents of my head well.” Samuel said.
Rose smiled faintly hearing it, “Is that a compliment? Ah, well, I will take that as a compliment from a senior to myself.” he said.
“As far as you are. Come on quick, we don't have much time left. It's getting late in the afternoon, if we don't hurry, we can stay here until nightfall, you certainly don't want that to happen right?” said Samuel who was immediately replied with a nod by Rose.
Of course, who likes to linger in a place like this. I even wanted to get out of here from the beginning. Alright Rose, let's finish this temporary detective task of yours. — Inner Rose.

It was getting late in the afternoon, time showed at four o'clock past seven minutes.
Yuan glanced at his watch at a glance, then a lunchbox that his father's secretary had placed on his desk was unintentionally seen by him.
Yuan smiled cynically, considering how Rue looked this afternoon, he felt even more disgusted and furious at the girl.
“Don't I throw it away?” muttered Yuan as he grabbed the lunchbox. But when he wanted to throw the contents of the lunchbox, his movement stopped, he remembered that there was a cctv, then the words of secretary Chenli again snuck his head. ‘Young master, chairman Ray says he will make sure you eat the food that young lady Rue brought for you.’
Yuan remembered once, when the secretary Chenli said like that, he seemed to say it with the corner of his eye looking for a cctv point.
“Ah, they must be watching me.” Yuan murmured who then closed the food box again. After that, he was seen getting up from his chair. “I have to go somewhere where there is no surveillance camera.” Yuan said.
“Yuan, do you want to rest?” ask a senior.
Yuan, who had just taken a few steps, stopped his footsteps and turned and looked at his senior.
“Yes senior, I will only go to eat for a moment, this afternoon I have not eaten at all.” said Yuan, lying. He did not eat, but that does not mean he left at this time because he wanted to eat but rather wanted to get rid of the contents of the food box that had made him feel annoyed every time he saw it.
“Ah well, you did look like you haven't rested at all. Then go, but remember not too long. After all, a few more hours of work time will be finished.” said the senior.
Yuan smiled politely, then nodded his head. “Good senior, I understand. Then excuse me.” said Yuan who then immediately stepped quickly to leave the room where he worked as an intern.
•••
“Chairman Ray, it's me. Can I enter?” asked Chenli from outside Ray's room.
“Log in.” says Ray.
After that, the door of the room seemed open, seen a secretary Chenli enter the room.
“What's up?” ray asked, as usual, no pleasantries.
“According to your request, I want to report about young master Yuan.” he replied.
“Ah, so did he eat the food or even throw it away?” ask Ray.
“From my monitoring through the surveillance camera, initially young master Yuan like to throw the food away, but then he was seen carrying the food out of the room with him.” Chenli said.
“Then said one of the employees I had worked with to supervise young master Yuan. He said that young master Yuan left the room to allow him to eat for a while. So— ”
“Are you sure Yuan will eat it? Not out to throw it away? The boy was smart enough, he definitely wanted to avoid the surveillance cameras, Yuan must have realized that he was being watched from the beginning because of the lunchbox. Ck, After all, even though he does not avoid the surveillance camera, he can still throw away the food whenever he wants.”, said Ray while smiling wryly.
“Then, do I need to find young master Yuan and make sure that he eats the food that young miss Rue has brought?” ask Chenli.
“No need, just let him. Even if you meet him, you won't be able to fight his alibi.” said Ray.
“Come out, soon I'll be home to pick up my wife.”.
“Good chairman, then I'm sorry to resign.” said Chenli who then came out of the room.
After his secretary came out, Ray was seen rubbing his face rough, he even loosened his tie with a loud pull.
“Yuan behaved like that because he felt he had the support of his mother.” Ray said.
“I still couldn't suppress the boy before Ana would support me. But how do I get Ana to agree to the match?” ask Ray to himself.
The middle-aged man had been somehow obsessed with matchmaking about Yuan and Rue. But of all his obsessive problems it must have kept a big reason behind it.
Ray is a chairman of a big company, a lot of heavy and hard things that he went through to get to the present stage. Therefore, he is not a person who originally made a decision without thinking about other things. That way he can be sure that he took the decision for a reason that he has not or may never reveal.

Alex is seen staring at the report document his secretary just gave him.
The man scrunched his forehead, feeling surprised by the company's recent unstable profit, even though he believed that he had been monitoring it well.
“How can today's report be worse than yesterday? If brother Ray knows, ah no, surely he already knows about this.” said Alex.
“Aldo, please tell the directors. Tomorrow we will hold an emergency meeting.” said Alex.
“I can't just stand by looking at a chart that looks up and down like this, it feels really terrible.”. “We must take action immediately before bad things happen.” he said again.
“Good President. Then I go first to send a notification of the meeting.” said Aldo who then left the room.
“Any, this is so weird. Why do so many people sell their shares? No, there is no way someone or a company is targeting and collecting shares of the Tnp group company. It— ah my head! Damnit damnit! Relax Alex, it will not be easy for them.” said Alex, trying to calm himself.
Then after that, he is seen reaching for his office phone to contact the investment management department.
“Tell director Denish to immediately give me his report today.” Alex started his office phone.
After saying that, Alex immediately closed the connection while sighing heavily.
