Since knowing that Erika was also in Germany, Elrich could not help but think negatively. Even though Abrine says that Erika's arrival here is to help Wildan who wants to open a new restaurant branch, somehow El is difficult to believe just like that.
Maybe Abrine has a big heart. But, El was too tired to face Erika's mask long ago. So he felt that this was all just Erika's reason.
"Don't trust him too much. He can be so kind and gentle, but he can also turn cruel and heartless. You understand what I mean, right?"
Abrine just nodded in her husband's arms. After Abrine falls asleep, El decides to contact someone.
El doesn't want to do this, but he has to keep Abrine safe and his wife pregnant.
"grandmother?" For the first time El contacted Theresia and called her that. Let's just say he's using his grandmother's power. He needs it now. If not, when else? Think El.
"I need your help, Grandma."
***
In a meeting, Abrine who felt nauseous had to excuse himself from the room. He ceded his power to Anne to replace her.
Coincidentally today's meeting was with a company owned by Xena, Raymond's mother.
They are talking about the last mechanism of cooperation, because their project is almost finished and is in the final stage.
Before starting a new project, they must finish this one first.
Xena noticed Abrine who had looked different from before. Finally Abrine left the meeting because he seemed to be vomiting.
"Is she pregnant?" xena's murmur that Anne heard there.
"What's up, Madam?" ask Anne.
"No, I feel like Abrine's a little different. Is she pregnant?" xena whispered near Anne's ear so as not to disturb the others who were discussing work.
"Oh, about that you can ask Miss Abrine directly." Anne smiled wryly, she did not want to talk much about this.
"Surely she's pregnant."
"If that's the case, I don't think it's any harm, ma'am. Miss Abrine has a legitimate husband. And again it's none of your business."
Xena looked at Anne with a panted look. He walked out of the meeting room as soon as the meeting was over.
"The boss and the secretary are the same. Equally annoying," Xena grumbled as she clucked her tongue.
Xena comes out of Abrine's office, she finds Raymond sitting in the lobby.
"Hey, boy! What are you gonna do here?" xena asked her son.
"I-i-"
Not yet Raymond said, Xena had cut his words. "Don't tell me you want to see Abrine, Ray. No, no, you're like a man who doesn't do anything. There are many other girls out there."
"Mother!" Raymond looked at his mother with an annoyed look. "I'm here to drop off your files. Not to meet Abrine."
"Reason! if you're going to drop off the files, you should be able to get Ivan."
Raymond did not answer again, indeed he wanted to deliver Xena's files but behind that he also had other intentions, of course, want to see Abrine's activities today.
"Yes, why are you here. Go back to work in your own office."
"Yes, Boss." Raymond was lazy to argue with his mother, because if he did that his affairs could be long, as long as his mother's nagging.
When turning around to catch Xena who first came out of the building, Raymond accidentally hit someone's slender body. Causing all the files and files that the person was carrying to scatter on the floor.
"God.." grumbled Anne who was accidentally hit by Raymond's body.
When she saw Raymond hit her, Anne didn't get angry. He was confused and misbehaved, even though he had wanted to say harsh words.
"Why do you have to bring all these files," said Raymond flatly.
"It's my job."
"You can ask someone to bring it, then after that you can do it all."
"It's none of your business."
Anne and Raymond both squatted down and picked up the papers and documents scattered on the floor.
"Make sure all the files are mixed into one. Hhh.... " Anne muttered then took a deep breath. How does he complete a task quickly if all his files are messy. He had to reorder and match with the appropriate map.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you out of that room."
Finally Raymond apologized to Anne, knowing that he was wrong. He even thought Anne would have cursed him earlier. Luckily, Anne didn't embarrass him by doing that.
"Yes, how else," said Anne resigned.
All of the documents had already been arranged into one heap that was quite high after the two of them had finished collecting them.
"All right, I'll help you carry it," Raymond said.
Anne speechless. He thinks Raymond doesn't feel guilty. Or Raymond will laugh at him, because the events of these few days may be Raymond took a grudge against him - because he did not give Raymond permission to meet Abrine in succession.
"It's okay, I can take it myself." Anne's nervous. Sure enough, due to the incident at the cafe yesterday. His view on this man changed. It was all because of Abrine and Elrich who tried to tease him with Raymond.
"You brought it yourself? If someone crashes again, how about it?"
"I'm stacking up again." Anne smiled faintly.
Raymond wanted to follow Anne's steps with all the heaps of files he had in hand. Someone called the man's name back.
"Ray!!!"
Raymond and Anne both turned their heads toward the sound.
Xena looked at Raymond in surprise. Why would his son raise so many files like that?
"You? Already a personal assistant in this office apparently?" syndicate Xena. Apparently he waited long enough for Raymond in the car, and it turns out his son did not come out of Abrine's office building. He thought Raymond was going to see Abrine again.
Raymond glanced at Anne, then looked at the mother.
"Shortly, Mom. Mom come back first. I'll bring my own car, I'll catch up to the office."
Xena did not respond to Raymond's remarks, her gaze instead turned to the girl next to her son. Anne, that girl who had upset him in the meeting room.
"So now is your reason for Abrine's office? Didn't get her boss turned to her secretary?"
"Jeez, mom...." Raymond held back his anger. The mother could think like that. He only wanted to help Anne because he felt guilty.
Xena looked at Anne with an annoyed look. At the same time Anne closed her eyes for a moment, it felt like she was tired of dealing with Xena especially outside of this kind of work. The fashionable middle-aged woman was very chatty.
"Here you go, I'm waiting for you in the car." Xena came back out with a grunt.
After Anne-His desk in front of Abrine's room, Raymond placed a pile of files there.
"I'm sorry about my mother's attitude, she's like that sometimes. He's being overprotective of me."
"Yes, no problem. You don't have to apologize for that, Mr. Rodriguez."
"All right, everything I put here."
"Thank you...."
"If you're having trouble putting together all the files, don't call me back. I'll help you."
"really?" asked Anne enthusiastically.
Raymond stared at the girl. "Why?" tanyakanya.
"Ng-ah, no. I mean, I can definitely finish it myself, yeah-yeah," said Anne.
Raymond nodded faintly. He soon withdrew from Anne's presence.
Anne breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, why is it like this? I hope I don't get involved with her feelings. Her mother was very annoying," Anne murmured as she began compiling the already messy file sheet.
"Anne?"
Abrine walked out of the room, looking at Anne who was already sitting in her chair.
"Y-yes, Miss?" Anne who was daydreaming, was surprised that Abrine suddenly called out to her.
"What's wrong?" asked Abrine who saw all the messy documents, even the papers that should be in the map and journal, looked irregular.
"Ah, no, this was just me just being less careful while carrying it."
"You can ask the office boy for help to bring him, Anne."
Anne felt that Abrine and Raymond were very similar. Ah, they are like mind. While Anne herself had other thoughts, she brought all of her own so as not to trouble others.
"Yes, Miss."
"Was the meeting going well?"
"Huum, everything's fine, Miss."
"Oh, great...." Abrine was about to return to his room, but suddenly he felt something strange.
"Did Raymond come here?" ask Abrine again.
"Eh?"
Anne looked at Abrine with her eyes bulging. Did this boss hear their conversation? There was nothing strange about their conversation, but somehow Anne felt very embarrassed if Abrine found out she and Raymond had experienced a small incident earlier. She was afraid that Abrine would tease her with Raymond again.
"So Raymond was here?"
"L-yes, Miss..." Anne can't dodge anymore.
Abrine looked at Anne with a probing look. "You guys are dating, huh?" tanyanya while grinning ignorantly.
"W-what?"
"If it's okay, Anne." Abrine patted Anne's shoulder intimately, as if giving her full support.
"Ah, no."
"Haha...." Abrine wanted to pass but Anne returned to her voice.
"Have you heard his voice?"
"No, I smelled the scent of her perfume that was still left behind. Sorry, I happen to memorize the smell." Abrine chuckled softly while Anne lowered her head in embarrassment, why would Abrine apologize to her about this kind of thing? He also had no relationship with Raymond. So, why did Abrine have to apologize just for memorizing the scent of the man's perfume.
