The Married With The Devil

Little Rat

Alan, who was just about to drive his Audi R8 Dayton Grey into the office, stopped moving his hands when the phone in his pants pocket rang. Quickly, he picked it up and found Jimmy's name on the screen.

“Halo, Jimmy.” Alan said after sliding the green button on his phone screen. Next to her, Bianca looked at him in silence.

“Master, there is a problem.” Jimmy cried quickly across there.

“Problems? What problem?” Alan asked with a frown. He doesn't usually hear Jimmy's panicked tone.

“One of our subsidiaries is on fire.”

“Burned?!” Alan said in disbelief as he looked at Bianca. His hands are clenched. All this time, there was never the slightest problem that happened to his entire company. Alan was convinced that the fire was not something that happened accidentally.

“Yes. I'll go there first and wait for Mr.” Answer Jimmy.

“Do not let any employee go home.” Alan spoke coldly with a flat face.

“Good.” Answer Jimmy. Then immediately disconnect his phone with Alan.

“What's up?” Bianca who had been listening in silence, stared at Alan worriedly. Especially after hearing the guy talk to Jimmy.

“There was a problem with one of my subsidiaries.”

“Trouble?” Pekik Bianca's. Just this time she heard there was a problem happening to her husband's company.

“Bianca, can you leave for the office alone?” Alan asked, holding Bianca's hand. He must immediately go to the scene.

“Let me come.”

“No. I don't want anything to happen to you.” Alan said with full rigour. It's a lot safer if Bianca goes to the office than it is to go with her.

“Don't forget to contact me.” Bianca. He prefers to follow Alan's words rather than be selfish. He's convinced that Alan and Jimmy can solve everything. After all, he also had to be in the office immediately to replace Alan.

“I love you.” Alan spoke softly. He landed a kiss on his wife's forehead. Then it continued on the woman's lips. After that, Bianca immediately got out of the car and made the man drive his vehicle at high speed.

Today, Bianca was forced to drive alone. He stepped slowly towards his red Porsche. A gift from Alan for her. Which according to the man “just a simple gift” to celebrate his graduation in college. The man did not even know how his heart stopped beating for a moment inside when Alan gave the car keys to him casually. There is no burden at all.

Alan who had just arrived, immediately approached Jimmy who was faithfully standing waiting for him outside. The subsidiary and the factory that produces his medical equipment, appear to emit black smoke from the back. Even from a distance, he could see it.

“Tuan.” Sapa Jimmy while looking down.

“Ayo.” Said Alan in a hostile tone. He immediately stepped in with a black aura surrounding his entire body. Around him, all the employees that Jimmy had gathered and banned from returning home were lined up.

Alan and Jimmy walked together to the back of the building, where the factory was located. Because the front, used as an office. Followed by several factory employees who were on duty today as well as being at the scene.

“Jimmy.” Call Alan. Jimmy nodded in understanding then told a man a little older than Alan to come forward. Before Alan arrived, Jimmy had already moved in and questioned the employees on duty today. But no one has been able to give a satisfactory answer.

“You're in charge today?” Alan asked while staring at the man named tag—Baron was sharp. The man being questioned nodded in fear. He is indeed in charge of overseeing all work today and making sure there are no mistakes or damaged items.

“Ya, Mr.” Reply Baron in a small voice. Standing in front of Alan immediately whirred his guts. The man was too intimidating.

“Newly this time there is a problem like this. I am even very sure if the machine I use is the best and most expensive machine. Which is guaranteed excellence.” Said Alan. He never half-and-half when it comes to work. Everything they use is the best stuff. No wonder his production is always at the top.

“I'm sorry, Sir. But I really don't know what's going on.” The baron lowered his head. He was telling the truth. Shortly after his arrival, he heard a loud bang. It was accompanied by thick black smoke. And as he ran towards the factory, one of the machines, which had been in service for three months, caught fire and fell apart. Luckily there were no casualties.

“How about CCTV?” Alan asked as he looked at Jimmy. The blue-eyed man shook his head slowly while sighing deeply.

“All cctv has been disconnected before the incident. So none of the recordings are saved.”

Jimmy's words made Alan laugh. Allegedly right. It doesn't happen naturally.

“It looks like someone wants to play around with me.” Fizz Alan. His black iris looked back sharply at the ten white uniformed male servants standing not far from him, with their heads lowered. One small grin was engraved at the corner of his lips.

“Jimmy.” Call Alan while gesturing to Jimmy using his thumb to get closer. And just as Jimmy was standing nearby, Alan immediately whispered something.

“Good, Mr.” Jimmy said as he stepped out.

After Jimmy's departure, Alan immediately steps in to get to his broken engine. He spent a lot of money just to buy one machine. And now, the machine he just bought, was lying helpless. And it can't be fixed anymore.

Before long, Jimmy returns with a man carrying a large folding ladder. While he himself brought a black netbook and data cable. Jimmy looked back at Alan. And found the man nodding steadily with his leisure.

“I say one more time, after this, there will be no more that can escape me.” Said Alan relaxed but full of threats.

He immediately turned his attention to Jimmy who was currently climbing the folding ladder to reach the upper wall of the sliding door of his factory from the inside. Jimmy seemed to be trying to pick something up. A few minutes later, he immediately descended from the top of the stairs with clenched hands.

“Tuan.” Jimmy said after being in front of Alan. His clenched hand opened, handing over something to Alan.

“You are looking for the wrong person to play with.” Fizz Alan. He immediately raised his hand while smiling with satisfaction. An object that looked like a screw, was within his grasp.

Alan smirked in satisfaction after finishing his speech. He did not regret spending enough money just to buy one cctv. Without the need for a cable or wifi connection, because the screw-shaped cctv is equipped with a large capacity micro sd and can be connected to a laptop.

Nobody knows, not even Jimmy. It's only Alan and Franz because that man designed his factory building. After perforating the wall a little, Alan told Franz to put the cctv first in a small pipe so as not to be damaged when planted inside the wall. Because the edges are white or more to silver, just like the paint wall of the factory, then no one suspected.

On one hand, among his other companions, there appeared a man standing with a trembling body. Face pale. The sweat that kept dripping from his forehead. Such a great fear enveloped his body.

“Tuan.” Alan immediately turned to stare at the netbook screen located on a small table inside the factory. His back covered the screen so that no one could see him but him and Jimmy.

“Do I have to join you?!” Alan fizzed sharply while clenching his jaws tightly. Both of his hands were clenched. He did suffer a considerable loss. But getting betrayal from the person he worked with, was the least he could accept.

Before long, a man of Jimmy's age stepped forward— out of line among his friends. His hands were clenched in front of his chest.

“Mr. Drax.” Shrill the man with a choked voice. Suddenly, he sat down in front of Alan holding the man's leg. To make all his colleagues who were there, staring in shock at him.

“I'm sorry.”

“Edric Jones's. Didn't you just work here for six months?” Alan asked as he stared without interest Edric who was resting at his feet. He was trying hard to stop himself from hitting the man.

“I'm sorry. Ak—aku had to do it.” Edric answered fearfully.

“Who told you?” Alan's question just now made Edric look up to look at him. It was obvious that the man was shocked after hearing his words. Alan is not a fool. If until there are employees who dare to betray or make trouble, it can be ascertained if there are others behind it.

“Wi–Wilson. Wilson Benjamin told me.” Alan's expression turned cold. After disappearing for a long time and never coming to see him again, the old man was devising a plan to take him down. Wilson was wrong. No matter how much the old man tried, he would still stand tall. And stay on top.

“How much money did he give you?” Ask Alan again. Still sounds so relaxed.

“Dia–dia told me if would give a little stake in her company.

Edric's reply just now made Alan laugh in disbelief. Wilson was completely out of his mind.

“Let me tell you, even by selling all his shares, Wilson will not be able to buy one of my subsidiaries.” Alan spoke confidently while looking at Edric sharply. There was not the slightest bit of mercy in his gaze. All there was was was a killing aura as well as the desire to destroy anyone who boldly harassed him.

“Mr. Drax, please–, please forgive me. I–I was forced to do it because Wilson offered—”

“Jimmy!”

“Ya, Mr.”

“I want you to take care of everything. And make sure he's rotting in jail.” Said Alan coldly while stepping away with still leaving fear for all his employees. After this, he would give Wilson the most beautiful gift for what the old man had done to him.

“Master, no—no!” Edric pleaded while trying to catch up to Alan. But Jimmy held him off first.

Edric and Wilson meet accidentally at one of the bars. And when the man found out he was working for Alan, Wilson quickly approached him while inciting Edric with the lure of shares in his company.

At first, Edric refused because he felt the wages he received were more than enough. Even above the average salary of factory employees in other places. But because Wilson kept instigating him and telling him that if he was going to be a successful businessman like Alan, Edric would be blindfolded. As a result, he had to stay in prison.

By lunchtime, Alan had just arrived at his office. Quickly, he stepped into his room after first buying lunch for him and Bianca.

“Bianca.” Call Alan when he just opened the door. Blank. There's no one. Smiling, Alan stepped towards the secret door inside.

When the secret door opened, her black irises immediately found Bianca on the bed.

“Sayang.” Alan Whisper. He soon settled himself near Bianca. His hand was raised up to gently stroke the woman's cheek. His wife was sound asleep. Not usually Bianca fell asleep in between her work. His wife's face looks so exhausted.

Bianca, who felt a gentle kiss on her forehead, opened her eyes slowly and found Alan looking at her with a smile.

“Alan.” Call Bianca in a raucous voice. Slowly, he got up to sit leaning on the head of the bed.

Quickly, Alan thrust a bottle of mineral water at the woman.

“You hungry?” Ask Alan. And Bianca shook her head slowly as an answer.

“I just feel a little tired.” Answer Bianca honestly. Just now, while busy checking the inbox on Alan's e-mail, he suddenly felt unwell and also dizzy. So Bianca decided to take a break.

“How about your factory?” Bianca asked as she remembered Jimmy and Alan's conversation this morning.

“There is only one little mouse. But me and Jimmy took care of everything.” Alan's answer just now made Bianca look at him clueless. The rat? He really didn't understand what the man was saying.

Seeing his wife's clueless gaze, Alan quickly kissed the woman's long lips. He missed Bianca. Always was. And Alan just found out that he can be this crazy just because he just got to know love.

Smiling, Bianca quickly cupped Alan's cheeks and pulled the man back closer to her. A kiss full of affection he landed on the cheek of the man. Before long, Bianca perfectly covered Alan's two lips.

The two are back late for a loving touch.
