The Dream of the President

Weekend

The weekend has arrived. Niko typed a message on her phone. After a few sentences were written, Niko deleted them again. He's looking for someone's contact on his phone.

"Hello." There was a voice from across there.

"Lita, it's me."

"Yes, Niko. What's up?"

"There's a note from Mrs Shasa. Said you'd give this gift to the recipient later in the day."

"Ah, yes. That's a gift for the Madam's friend who got married today. After breakfast I'll take it."

"no need. This gift will be delivered to your place."

"alright. Thank you." Thank you."

A cold short talk. The ex-husband-wife has not been able to talk casually after her divorce ten years ago. These two people actually have the same personality, both hard and stiff. They are very obedient and have very high loyalty to their work.

Niko is a very smart person in managing everything. He was so deft in doing his work and would not let a single point tarnish his work. Decades of work as a confidant of Commissioner Gusta, making Niko have a very wide connection. He is also good at negotiating and never runs out of weapons to stop those who oppose him. Niko knew a lot about the Gusta Family. Without a single order, Niko already knew what she had to do in various situations.

Same with Lita. The woman who had been the assistant mother of Commissioner Gusta, from the beginning did have a strong personality. That's what made Mistress Gusta previously very fond of Lita. At that time, Lita was very young and worked as one of the XY Group's secretary staff. Lita's cleverness in responding to any situation before her, made Mistress Gusta previously very interested in her. After being appointed as assistant mother of Commissioner Gusta, Lita first got to know Niko when Niko taught her various things about the duties of an assistant member of the Gusta Family. Sometimes, they have different styles. However, Commissioner Gusta saw the side of Lita's intelligence that was no less superior to Niko.

Over time, other feelings arise between Niko and Lita. A year before Mrs Gusta died, they decided to get married. A year later, Commissioner Gusta installed Lita as chief secretary of XY Group. Their relationship is flat, just like the nature of both and they have no children. Because of a problem in the past, they decided to divorce and choose each other's lives.

Lita down to the lobby of her apartment already in neat and formal clothes, it might be difficult to guess if Lita will go to a wedding. He saw a familiar car parked in the lobby.

"Niko? What are you doing here? Did you take Madam's custody?" Tanya Lita was suspicious

"The lady asked me to drive her straight to you." Niko looked at Lita's appearance. "Are you going to a party dressed like that? You look like a secret agent."

"I'll just drop off the Madam's gift. No need to linger at the party."

"You didn't read the message from Madam this morning?"

Lita's eyebrows are wrinkled. He immediately took the phone in his bag. His face immediately looked like he wanted to pounce on people.

"No! I'll go alone." Firm Lita.

"You think I'd like to accompany you to the party? If you don't want President Leo running straight home because of his wife, just follow what he wants. The sooner it's done, the better."

Lita squinted her eyes at Niko. He snorted in annoyance, but both had no choice.

"Lake in." Niko hints at Lita to get into her car.

Lita steps annoyedly into Niko's car. Niko sighed slowly and got into the car as well. Along the way, the two of them were silent. None of them wanted to open their mouths first.

They had reached the wedding hall of Gia and Dion. Without saying anything, Lita gets out of the car and opens the back door, taking a gift from Shasa. Niko catches up with Lita out of the car.

"You just wait here. I'll take her inside." Said Lita.

"But, the Madam asked me to take a photo of her bride." Niko Sahut.

"I'll get you the picture."

"It's not so, Lita. Madam asked me to take a picture of the two brides, me and you."

Lita immediately grinned at Shasa's wish. "Then will you obey him?"

"Rather than Commissioner Gusta asking me to come back here again and take a photo with the two brides, I'd rather just go along with it."

Inevitably, Lita lets Niko follow her into the party. Quite a lot of XY Group employees came. The arrival of Lita and Niko forms its own center of attention. People were very surprised how the chief secretary of XY Group and the confidant of Commissioner Gusta could be present at an event like this.

Lita tells Gia that Shasa left her a gift. Lita also said that Shasa was unable to attend for some reason. Gia seems to be able to guess the reason why Shasa did not attend her wedding. The face of Gia can be easily read by Lita.

"You don't have to worry. Mrs Shasa was very pleased to hear the news of your marriage. He wishes you both happiness." Said Lita while shaking hands with Gia at the pelaminan.

"Mother Lita, please thank her. Although Shasa did not come, but your presence I consider to represent him. Thank you, Ms. Lita."

Dion knows Niko well enough. The closest person to Commissioner Gusta since he was still on the bench of president. Dion is seen facing off against Niko, the coldest person in the XY Group. Flatly, Niko gave Dion her handwriting. Dion thanked Niko, but Niko did not say a word to her.

After meeting the two brides, Lita and Niko did not linger to ask for a photo together. Niko gives her phone to the photographer at the event, leaving Gia and Dion astonished. After which, the two immediately left the party without saying goodbye with the two brides.

"I really don't understand what Miss Shasa wants. Is he just fucking us?" Lita grumbled annoyed at feeling that she had been colonized by Shasa.

Niko turned towards Lita who was sitting at the steering wheel, then returned her gaze again on the road in front of her. "Be careful what you say, Lita. He was a member of the Gusta family. One of the people you should respect."

"Yes, yeah, I know. But try to think. What do you think Mrs Shasa's aim is to bother sending us away?" Ask Lita in a scathing tone.

"You ask yourself. I did it because it was part of my job. Besides, why are you still so upset? You've finished what he wants. Do you think he's got any purpose in sending us to that party?"

Lita lazily replied Niko. He simply turned his gaze out the window and hoped that this day would be over soon.

Shasa was busying herself arranging flowers in the back garden. He was accompanied by a gardener who helped him bring several types of flowers to the back garden. Shasa was smiling herself imagining Lita and Niko going to the wedding today. Shasa just wants Lita and Niko to have a good relationship going forward.

"Dear." Suddenly Leo was already standing not far away from her while smilingly looking at Shasa.

"Darling!" Shasa who was surprised immediately jumped to run towards Leo. He hugged Leo so tightly, letting go of all his yearning for the past few days.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming home today?" Shasa still did not want to let go of his embrace.

"Don't ask me anything today. I just want to look at you until I'm satisfied."

Shasa let go of her embrace. "You must be tired. Let's have some tea first."

Shasa had the waiter prepare tea for them. The two sat on the back garden bench looking at each other incessantly. The waiter brought tea for them, then left the two in the back garden.

"Your job is done?" Ask Shasa.

"That's it, thanks to you."

"I? Haha... I didn't do anything to help you with your work."

"Every time I hear your voice, I want to go home quickly. That's why my job's done so fast."

"Haha... You're this." Shasa started sipping tea in his cup.

Suddenly, Shasa seemed to want to bring out again the tea that had entered his mouth. He closed his mouth with his hand and immediately put his cup back with a little slamming. Leo looked confused and panicked. Shasa immediately stood up and ran to his room. Leo widened his eyes looking at Shasa who was suddenly pale.

"Servant!" Shouted Leo blaring. The waiter who brought the tea nervously approached Leo. "Tea what did you give my wife, huh?"

Pak Yo was seen approaching Leo because he heard his screams earlier.

"Check this tea! Report the results to me. And also, call Sam now!" Leo immediately ran after Shasa to his room. Instantly, the house of the Gusta Family was engulfed in panic.
