The In-Law Choices

Chapter 229 lives or is fired

"The man named Zack Purbalingga is not here and is likely to be dead on this earth. So who will take over his position as heir? Of course my son is not. There is no one worthy of being the next successor other than my son". Rehan..

"Who said Zack Purbalingga was not on this earth?".

All were focused on the source of the sound including Rehan. He recognized the voice because he met several times since Aisyah was still his wife.

The perfectly-looking man walked up to the Meeting table with several bodyguards accompanying him. His aura was so charismatic that those who saw him could be amazed as well as envious.

"Welcome back, Mr. Zack". Everyone welcomes Zack except Rehan and Alena.

Rehan's face changed pias, but his brain did not stop thinking to maintain his position in the company. He will not give up the rights that should belong to his son. Only if Albar were to become the heir would benefit him as his biological father.

"How are you, Rehan?". Greet Zack with his cynical smile.

Rehan tried to regulate his emotions seeing Zack who was looking at him with a condescending look. His clenched hands firmly resisted the tremors in his body. He did not expect that Zack was still alive and became the main destroyer of his happiness. It had never been thought before that Zack would be the heir to his adoptive family fortune thanks to the will from Aisyah.

Rehan did not return Zack's greeting. He was very unhappy with the man's presence among them ruining all his arrogance. Insulting himself by making him a stranger the office, all the disrespect that everyone gave him was Zack's plan to drop his mentality.

"Sorry Mr. Rehan, this seat belongs to our master. Please move to that chair over there". One of the bodyguards asked Rehan to move from the front seat to a chair not listed on the meeting table. The seat the bodyguard was referring to was in the seat near the exit.

"What do you mean you want to kick me out of my position? This is my place you guys can't ask me to move out of this chair". Shouted Rehan did not accept.

"Sorry, Rehan. This second Mr. Rehan is officially removed from your position. This is the official letter of the company downgrading your position". Said the Director Manager of the company who was assigned to make a letter of demotion to Rehan on the orders of Zack, the new CEO of the company.

"What - what the fuck is this! You all humiliated me by insulting me like this. I do not accept this insult. I'll sue you in court..". Threaten Rehan growled.

"Sorry Mr. Rehan, we're just doing our job as a subordinate to Mr. Zack. Please sit there. If you don't agree you can go. Because your position now in this company is only as an ordinary employee should not be in this meeting room..". Said the personal guard.

"No need, he could sit in that chair for the last time. It's okay as long as he doesn't make a fuss here while our meeting isn't over...". Zack said he relented and chose to sit on another chair provided by his bodyguard.

Zack's relentless attitude did not make Rehan calm but he was even more furious. Zack's attitude was very insulting to him, as if he was an child that should be given more understanding. Zack dropped his dignity so that he had no face left in this room.

Rehan got up and stepped out of the room. But before coming out the door, Rehan turned his head back.

"Is there anything left behind, Rehan?". Ask one of the colleagues who sits at the very end.

"Yes, something is left behind, sincerity. Ha ha ha ha's. Realize Mr. Rehan all this does not belong to father. Just let it be taken on the one that has it". Mr. Gibran teases.

"Sir Rehan can't take her away, he'll still be the CEO's secretary here. No longer your private secretary, he's now Mr. Zack's private secretary...". Said the Manager's director to confirm Rehan's mistake.

"No! If you want to demote me then Alena should come with me too". Imbub Rehan refuses to take Alena's hand off.

"It's up to Alena alone, whether you want to recite the words of her superiors or be fired from the company without hesitation. Remember Mr. Rehan, you're now just a regular employee and you don't need a secretary of all...". Said the Manager director. Then he looked at Alena. "Now make your decision, Alena. Want to stay on as Zack's CEO secretary or get fired?". Ask Alena..

Rehan looked at Alena sharply, he would not allow her to continue working as a CEO secretary here. "Don't think too long, Alena! You don't have to work anymore, I'll finance your life from now on. Don't worry, I will also stop working from this ridiculous company. But even so our lives will still be guaranteed. You remember, I'm a 40 percent shareholder in this company...". Rehan said to remind Alena if she is also no less rich.

Alena smiled at Rehan. Now the plan is progressing smoothly. Soon some of Rehan's possessions will fall into his hands. Rehan will hand him over without any coercion or fraud first as Desi did.. (Eh, how's the actor doing? Actually he is one of the main characters in this novel but how rarely appear in the story well?).

"I keep your promise, ma'am. I was willing to give up my career to defend you. I will always be by your side supporting you, defending you from everyone who wants to take you down. I don't want to be let down by you, yeah mas". Alena said gently made Rehan breathe a sigh of relief because Alena remained on his side.

"I opted out of the company sir". Alena to the director manager.

"If that's your choice, please pack your things and get out immediately. Today there will also be someone to take your place at that table". Reply director manager.

"Okay sir, I'll go out first". Alena turned to look at Zack and said. "I'm sorry about Aisyah's death". Imbuh Alena before holding Rehan's hand out of the room.

Rehan looked at Alena with love all his steps. Only Alena leads her steps wherever Alena wants to go.

"Why are we looking at me like that, mom?". Alena's question touching Rehan's shoulder resuscitated the man from his faraway reverie.

"Eh, not really...". Rehan flinched and only realized that the two of them were now in front of their former workplace.

"How do we get in, ma'am? The room is now guarded by two bodyguards". Confused Alena.

Rehan looked fed up at the two bodyguards standing in front of the door. Rehan approached them and wanted to go straight in without permission from the two of them.

"Sorry sir. Both of you are forbidden to enter this room". Their barriers stretched out their hands against Rehan not to go inside.

"Inside there are still our possessions, we have the right to take our property that is still in this room. You can't get in my way". Imbuh Rehan tried to enter by removing the hands of the two bodyguards.

But alas, Rehan's energy was not comparable to the calm that the two of them had.

"We do not forbid you to take your property. But there's no need to go in, we've put it there". Follow one of the guards while pointing towards the trash.
