The Love of the Mafia Master

Eps 21 Warning

Falling in love may be the right expression for Mike right now. Subconsciously his thoughts are only filled with company problems and the girl

He also did not deny, the side of his heart that is now happy just because of his meeting with the round-eyed girl

However, saying that he has fallen in love is impossible because he himself needs time to prove it

"Master.." Lio patted Mike on the shoulder, resuscitating the master who had seemed to be imagining something

"When have you been here?" mike was surprised

"About ten minutes ago sir. Sorry, I went straight in because you seemed to be thinking about something and not hearing a knock on the door"

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the company" Mike said

"These are the files that you requested and the data of the parties involved in this matter" Lio handed over a stack of files that he put together in a folder

"How's the progress there?"

"As master said, the game this time involved an old man in the company. He spread his men in each branch office owned by us and according to the data I got almost half of our employees are subordinates"

"Hmm..worse than I thought."

"What's the plan, sir?" ask Lio curiously

"I will take the case to the legal track, although there will be no refund in the event of a deterrent effect for the perpetrator"

"Did the great master not mind your decision, considering the culprit was a close friend of the great master?"

"You take it easy, papa has already handed me all the decisions"

"Why is it not completed in a familial manner, sir?"

"Hhh.. In business matters there is no such term, when guilty one must dare to take responsibility for the mistakes he made"

"You're right sir, then sa-"

poke!poke!

Their conversation comes to a halt when someone knocks on Mike's door, and surprisingly their guest turns out to be his papa's best friend and the person they're talking about

"I'm sorry Uncle, just this time Uncle can welcome your arrival in this office specifically" said Edwar when he was faced with Mike who was standing up to greet him

"No need to hesitate so Uncle, I should have met Uncle first" Mike invited Edwar to sit on the sofa in his room, after that he flicked his hand towards Lio so as to leave the two of them there

Mike is convinced that his papa friend already knows what he is doing right now. And of course he also knew, the veiled intent of the middle-aged man's arrival

After his second small talk, Mike could see that Edwar was not only mature in terms of age but also in terms of thoughts and words. It is only natural that many people can be fooled by everything he says

"What made you finally want to replace Max here?" ask Edwar for a little chat

"But you seem to have to do it. Though how many times uncle told your father that, if he could just rest at home while the company he can trust Uncle"

"Maybe papa has his own thoughts about it, Uncle."

"It seems so" Edwar spread his gaze across the room until his eyes stopped at the file on the table

"Papa now looks increasingly healthy after enjoying his old age, does Uncle not intend to follow in papa's footsteps?" mike asked, turning Edwar's gaze

"Uncle has no one, so Uncle will just spend his life working"

The feeling of haru enveloped Mike's heart, regardless of what Edwar had done so far, the old man was actually a good figure. Mike still remembers the closeness of the two of them when his mother was alive

How the man cried over the departure of his mother and his treatment during this time against him which sometimes contradicts what his father did

"Uncle just reminds Mike, being a leader in a big company like this is not an easy thing. Friends can be opponents, as much as possible to be careful in making decisions"

Mike simply nodded at Edwar's words, giving room for the old man to say the meaning of his arrival

"If you find a problem, you should not be rash to fight. Not all problems must be solved by force"

"For this company, do not be destroyed while under your leadership. Uncle believes you can count on" Edwar said, patting Mike on the shoulder

Mike believes Edwar is currently mengultimatum himself for the actions he is doing. However, Mike's decision was so unanimous that he considered the warning to be just a passing wind

"Thank you for uncle's advice, I'll always remember what uncle said"

"If so uncle excuse me first, there is still much to do uncle. If you need help, don't hesitate to call uncle"

After shaking hands, Mike escorted Edwar to the door. After that he again struggled with the files scattered on his desk

***

When Edwar arrived at his study, he threw his body in the chair. He did intend to warn Mike not to act further than what he is currently doing

But it seems that his desire will not be fulfilled, looking from the eyes of his best friend's son who seemed to say that he would finish what he had started

Actually, Edwar had long wanted a position held by Max his best friend, but the opportunity to shift his best friend was not easy even after decades he tried

The only way is to stab his best friend in the back like this. Evidently, what he had done long ago slowly made the company's foundation little by little to shake

Not that he does not like the success of Max, it's just that he feels jealous because it turns out that his ex-lover is married to Max

The jealousy developed into anger when he found the stiff body of the woman he loved in the room due to the pain he suffered

Feeling Max was wasting the woman who had risked his entire life for him, made Edwar who was filled with anger choose to stab from behind his friend and enemy to make him suffer

But who would have thought, now the plan must be hindered by the presence of the child of his lover in his past
