The Love of the Unknown Man

21. Apologize

Gustav read the file in his grasp, but he immediately threw it on the table violently. Making a man sitting in front of him flinch.

That man is Mario. He glanced at Gustav and the files on the table in turn. Mario's feelings became agitated because Gustav never signed a contract with his company.

Although Mario was an older man than Gustav, but the green-eyed man emitted a cold and gripping aura. Make anyone submit to him.

“I will not sign that contract. Cooperation is canceled,” said Gustav so easily canceled long-planned cooperation.

Mario swallowed his saliva. The fate of the company that is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

Only Gustav is the only hope for Mario to free his company from accumulated debt.

“T-but why, Sir? Is something wrong?” Mario glanced at the file on the table.

“There is nothing wrong with the file. But the one that's wrong is your son.” Gustav said staring at Mario.

The one looked at frowned, not understanding what Gustav said. As far as Mario his son named Martha has no connection with this cooperation contract.

Seeing the confused Mario, Gustav sighed and immediately explained the meaning of his words.

“Your son, Martha, once accused a girl named Lisa. Right no?”

“Previous sorry, Sir. Martha did not accuse. Indeed the girl has stolen a diamond necklace belonging to my son,” objected Mario.

Mario wonders how Gustav found out about Martha's case with Lisa.

Actually Mario himself knows that Martha has indeed slandered Lisa. From Martha's confession, his son was desperate to do slander because he did not like Lisa who was often praised by the lecturers for the cleverness of the girl on campus.

And Mario, who has always spoiled the child, fully supports Martha's actions. Even he was the one who had made Lisa's scholarship revoked.

Gustavo danced one end of his lips. Of course he doesn't trust this guy named Mario.

“I have strong evidence that Martha has slandered Lisa,” says the real Gustav just to intimidate Mario.

“Now I know what your son looks like. And usually, the nature of a child is passed down from its parents. Therefore, I canceled the contract because I do not want to cooperate with a devious person like you.”

Mario biting his lower lip. A sign that his brain is currently thinking hard how to cooperate with the company Alastar Corp can be established.

“You better go. You just make me waste useless time.”

Mario is frozen. No choice but to bend your knees before Mr. Gustav Green. Mario no longer cares about his pride.

Gustav glanced at the restless Mario, throwing his face away and grinning faintly.

“I beg you, Sir. I'm ready to do anything as long as Mr. Gustav is willing to sign the contract,” Mario weld with a vibrating body.

“Do anything?” reset Gustav.

“Iya, Sir. Whatever I will do,” says Mario firmly.

“Good. If that's what you want, there's a condition that you have to do.”

“What terms, Mister?” Mario asked with an unsettled heart.

Martha is currently in her room filled with expensive items. He was shocked to hear Mr. Gustav suing himself to make a video apology to Lisa and had to be uploaded to social media.

Martha nodded and took a deep breath to calm the turbulent emotions.

“Is there no other way, Dad?”

Mario shook his head. He himself also had to apologize directly to Lisa.

Martha nodded and clenched her feet.

“Martha, please. This time alone you according to what Daddy.” ordered

“I don't want to, Dad. I made a video apologizing to Lisa, it was the same as I claimed to have slandered the village girl,” exclaimed Martha whose voice echoed to the room-litter.

What would the world say if a beautiful selebram like Martha - whose followers have already touched the millions - knew she had slandered just because the girl excelled in academics?

Martha clenched her hands and hit the mattress as an outlet of her anger.

“Which is there later I will be able to hate comment, Dad. My pamorku as selebgram will go down.”

Martha was troubled to imagine her fate later. Mario rubbed his daughter's shoulder. He had to persuade Martha.

“Darling, after you make an apology video, you can go on hiatus first from social media. Over time surely the negative comments will disappear by themselves,” said Mario gave advice.

Martha did not answer. He folded his hands in front of his chest and threw away his face.

While Mario clucked, luring the base of his nose which became a sign he was very overwhelmed to take care of Martha's attitude.

However, Mario is well aware that Martha's spoiled attitude is also because of her who always obeyed her daughter's request.

Mario ruffled his hair in frustration, sighed, then he decided to be firm with Martha for just this once.

“OK, if you do not want to do as requested by Mr. Gustav is also okay.”

Instantly Martha turned her face quickly while curling a joyful smile.

“Serious, Dad?”

Mario nodded in response.

“But Daddy will sell all your expensive bags, shoes and clothes,” Mario circulates sweeping views to the corners of the room. Staring at the branded goods on display.

“No!” raung Martha is hysterical.

“Daddy will also block your credit card.”

“Daddy! Bad daddy!”
