Mario lowered his head towards Lisa which made Martha knit her eyebrows and gap wide. Even the girl blinked her eyes several times, as if she could not believe her sense of sight.

“Lisa, I apologize on behalf of Martha. He's been too much slapping you.”

Lisa was shocked by the attitude of Mario who as he remembered arrogant and very fond of Martha. To her surprise, no words came out of Lisa's mouth.

The girl stared confusedly at the father and son in front of her. Confused about what changed their attitude.

“Lisa, we'll go home first. Food that has been ordered I have paid and you can take home all,” explained Mario once again bowed his head.

Then Mario slammed Martha's arm which was still astonished. Before leaving the cafe, Martha glanced hatefully at Lisa who was now sitting alone.

“Dad, why was I slapped? What's my fault? It should be that Daddy slapped it Lisa,” protested Martha once they were in the car.

“What are you aware of, Martha. The fate of Daddy's company depends on our attitude towards Lisa, and you've made a fatal mistake.”

Mario growled in annoyance while tightly gripping the wheel. Then he said his face harshly.

Failing was the opportunity to build cooperation with Mr. Gustav and somehow his later life. Given the company's debt that is increasingly piling up.

“But Dad..”.

“Martha,” exclaim Mario cut off his son's speech.

“Can be once, you lower your ego in front of Lisa. If Daddy's company goes bankrupt it's because of you,” said Mario in a tone that is getting higher.

Martha's mouth was wide open. She can't believe the father who always granted her requests and also spoiled her, now snapped just because he slapped Lisa.

Not to be blamed even by her father though, Martha folded her hands in front of her chest and threw away her face.

“Daddy is more concerned with the company than I am. Daddy is no longer dear to me,” Martha pursed her lips.

As already, Martha is sure her Daddy will soften after issuing a powerful weapon that is, say the phrase – 'Daddy is no longer dear to me.'

And sure enough, Mario who massaged the base of his nose immediately took a deep breath, then embraced Martha.

“Darling, sorry. Daddy's not not a pity but it's about our lives. You want us to live poor and live under a bridge,” said Mario who tried to soften his voice.

Martha further moved her lips because that was not the answer she expected from her father.

While still inside the cafe, after Jerri sees Mario and Martha leaving Lisa, he approaches the girl.

Jerri sits in the chair that was occupied by Mario and makes Jerri get a look of eye spying from Lisa.

Lisa's body moved ready to take a swing to go. Because he did not know the man who suddenly sat in front of him.

“Wait, Miss Lisa! Don't go yet!” pinta Jerri held Lisa's wrist.

Jerri's lips curled a meaningful smile. Slowly his hand took off his grip when he saw Lisa did not want to run away.

“My name is Jerri. I am a personal assistant from the CEO of Alastar Corp. would like to inform you if Miss Lisa gets a gift in the form of an apartment unit,”, said Jerri who spoke while lowering her head like she was talking to Mr. Gustav.

Jerri's words were certainly not immediately trusted by Lisa. The girl laughed out loud until her hands kicked the table.

Making Jerri who saw him could only frown.

“I know the mode of people like you,” Lisa brandished her index finger right at Jerri's nose.

“You're trying to trick me, right? By saying I got a gift. You think I'll believe it?” lisa said, then moved out of her seat.

But then again, Jerri restrained the young girl. Jerri's eyeballs were moving indeterminately. A sign that he is very confused.

No reason Jerri behaved like that. Because Mr. Gustav has forbidden him to say if Lisa got an apartment gift from him.

Gustav wants to surprise Lisa by giving her a decent place to live.

However, Jerri's attitude even makes Lisa more convinced if the person who was with him this time is just someone who intends to cheat.

Lisa threw her hand out of Jerri's grip.

“Sorry I have to go.”

“Wait, Miss. I am not a fraud. You will indeed have obtained one unit of the apartment,” explained Jerri in a quick tone.

“Oh yes? And I have to pay how much?” ask Lisa, which is a satire.

He memorized the fraud mode under the guise of a gift that he would eventually be asked for some money.

“Nona is free of charge. Miss just stayed in the apartment we have given.”

Lisa advanced her head with a sharp gaze that never dimmed even for a second.

“I can't believe,” said Lisa briefly and passed away.

The next second there was a commotion in which Jerri convinced Lisa to look first at her apartment. However, Lisa is not the type of woman who easily believes especially with strangers.

Feeling quite disturbed, Lisa shouted loudly which made her the center of attention of many people.

"Aarrggh, help! I want to be scorned," cried Lisa in a voice made tormented.

"Damn," cried Jerri when surrounded by many people.

That's when Lisa tried to escape.

While stepping foot, Lisa laughed at how Jerri's face was overwhelmed by the crowd.

Slowly her laughter stopped and Lisa shook her head given how stupid the person claiming to be the personal assistant was.
