The Obsession of the Enthusiast

Arta's Sly Plan

That night after delivering Wana to the Opal Corp Building, Artha had to meet elsewhere about the construction of a housing cluster.

This time, the partners and buyers who won the tender came from PT. Jade Joint Development. The parent company of Jade Building and Construction.

And that's where they met.

"Ah, Nirmala apparently!" sahut Artha when the Board of Directors introduced them.

"Well, how's Mr Artha?!" greet Nirmala with sumringah's face.

"I want to talk to you after the meeting,"

"Okay sir, we'll have dinner downstairs, okay? Must be about Wana huh?"

"Who else,"

"Haha, good news, sir,"

"Good news for us, I don't know for you,"

"Oh, Mr. Artha and Ms. Dierja already know each other apparently?" ask one of the Directors of Nirmala's office.

They both nodded. And that's why the meeting that night went well.

Very rarely can anyone melt Artha's heart to deal about the price because the man is so efficient in managing expenses (aka stingy), because the man is so efficient in managing expenses, especially when people he did not know from the client described the Cost Budget Plan, it will certainly be revised repeatedly.

But because Nirmala managed to convince Artha, the man quickly handed over all his business to the client.

Which, in addition to all the happy, carefree heart, vision became bright and the brain was rested quietly, all at PT. Jade became respectful to Nirmala. It could be that he will after this be promoted for a promotion.

But from earlier there was something that disturbed Artha.

On several occasions, when all eyes were diverted, Nirmala's eyes dimmed rapidly and her vision became blank.

There was something that made the woman not focus too much on her work this time.

But quickly, as the presentation finished and the question and answer began, Nirmala quickly re-emerged her smile.

But not as interesting as when Artha first met Nirmala. At that time, maybe because there was a Wana or because of something else, Nirmala's laughter was more loose and sincere.

This one seems forced.

And as a businessman who used to judge whether someone was honest or not, professional or still lay, the client mastered his job or just a name, Artha felt interested in Nirmala's attitude this time.

He wanted to quickly finish the meeting. Anyway, PT. Jade Joint Development was also one of the 12 Dragons, they were often partnered with Opal Corporation, so it was definitely trustworthy of its quality.

"Let's have dinner together" Artha approached Nirmala.

Nirmala just grinned. Some Director approached Artha to offer her a free meal at a restaurant with a famous chef, but because Artha was curious about Nirmala's attitude, so she just said, 'cause she's just,

"For this time please excuse me, I would like to discuss personal matters with Ms. Dierja" Artha said.

This leads to suspicion that Nirmala and Artha are involved in a special relationship.

But it seems that the two do not bother in that regard. It could be, Nirmala's closeness with Artha even brings a blessing in his office.

"Why you?" artha asked as they finished ordering the food.

"Eh?" Nirmala raised her eyebrows trying to pretend that she was doing well.

"My eyes cannot be lied to. Except by your brother,"

"ah! Hehe. Well, a lot happened sir. But that's my personal problem. Please don't be disturbed,"

"To be honest I was disturbed. Because what I want to talk to you about, the decision really depends on your mood,"

"The two of you are adults, whatever your decision is not the time to take my share anymore,"

"Can't be, you're the only family Wana has. So you deserve to know,"

Nirmala folded her lips and straightened her seat.

Artha was right, she was currently being very unstable. Not knowing what he will do, can only try to get up even though limped.

"Whatever the story is your turmoil, who knows I can help" said Artha.

"Do you still have time for me?" ask Nirmala.

"Wana is everything to me, so you, as a loved one, have a place in me. So don't hesitate,"

"Ah, so ... Sorry in advance if maybe my story is a little disturbing. So this morning..."

And launched all the events that Nirmala experienced this morning.

The woman could not help but cry in the middle of the story. The food that came they did not ignore the seriousness of the Nirmala problem.

Artha even mince her teeth a sign of her wrath. He could feel the sadness of Nirmala, because Artha had been in that position.

Loving someone, but betrayed. A wound that has been scratched will never be closed perfectly. It must have left a mark and been deeply traumatic.

"What do you need help with?" ask Artha at last.

"Our church,"

"The church doesn't handle divorce,"

"That's not what I want. Our church strongly opposes divorce, and in this case I am the plaintiff. Even because of the work to support them my family had to work on holidays when people worshiped. And Jaka is a devout congregation. I need their consent to allow that with the evidence. I don't want to be slandered by the other congregations because it's been spread there that I'm a bad woman. I need a confession that in this case I'm innocent,"

"That's all?"

"That's hard and can't use money, that's all. If the court can be arranged with enough documents,"

"It's going to be convoluted,"

"Rubber,"

"Eh?" Nirmala raised her face. He was confused and shocked. "I mean Sir?"

"Give them everything they want, so that the slander-slander affair is gone,"

"But, that's all I buy with my own sweat! My pain! Is that fair to me?"

"If you get it all, then is your life calm? The house and the car had too many bitter memories in them. Are you able to occupy it?!"

"At least I can sell it,"

"Sell is easy. But now that's not the case. Now is, how do they keep their mouths shut to mock you?"

"Mr... Got plans?"

Artha sneered, "Sure! The way you handle them is already beautiful, just packing more exclusive,"

A sneaky smile immediately rose on Artha's lips. "I'll help you,"

"How is it?" Nirmala was interested, but also vigilant. Why would someone like Artha be interested in helping her? Is there any other meaning behind it? But at this moment Nirmala thought was her life and honor. Because according to the woman, the impact can spread to Wana.

Wana is his sister, he does not want the nickname 'your brother will be crazy treasure, bad woman, maybe his sister is also the same sultry everywhere, blah blah,' because according to Nirmala, it's the same sexiness, divorce is a scandal.

Although it was done on the basis of clear evidence and he was a victim, but who knows what was spread by his venomous-mouthed father-in-law?!

"Give them what they want. Home, car, and one of your certificates of deposit with the largest amount. How many?"

"The biggest? About 100 million, that was also the former Vana that yesterday was returned,"

"Rrachement,"

Nirmala sneers.

"That money will run out in a few days. After all they are all unemployed, and they will definitely not think of investing or working capital. That's why I call a dime," Artha snorted cynically.

"Then how is it, sir?"

"Give it to them. Impress the judge, say the reason is out of sympathy even though the heartache is so deep. Position yourself as a victim and be forced to file a lawsuit. Invite pastors and congregations to come to the congregation. Make them believe that even if you are betrayed, you are willing to give them your treasure. So their view of you automatically changes, from a naughty woman of sexiness, to a very kind woman of heart,"

"Then? After they believe?"

"Therein is my role, I will make them slowly bankrupt. And return everything to you in a different form,"

"Well?!"

"I would recommend a raise and a job for you at Jade. I'll give potential clients your incentive. From that income, buy another house, another piece of jewelry, another better car. In a short time you will also have deposits with a much larger amount,"

Nirmala was stunned to hear Artha's explanation.

"They will realize that their loss has abandoned you. Soon they will be looking for you again. At that time I hope you already have a husband and other happiness,"

Nirmala shut her mouth because she was fascinated with Artha.

"Gosh, it's not gossip" Nirmala murmured.

"What rumors?"

"That Mr. Artha is very cunning,"

"Huh," a proud but resentful grunt from Artha. "If you're not cunning when is the power?!"

"Then, what can I give in return?"

Artha knocks on the restaurant table, "Let me turn Wana over to be my wife,"

Nirmala's stunned.

Then grab the glass filled with mineral water in front of him and gulp it down quickly.

What exactly is Artha looking for from Wana? Does nirmala have to be vigilant because Artha is this slick? What if her sister is fucked up?

But, looking at Wana's gurgle, it seemed like her sister was fine.

"I understand you are doubtful of my intentions. What am I looking for from Wana? That right?!" shoot Artha.

Nirmala shut up, got knocked down.

Artha leaned her body casually on the chair. "I punished my ex-boyfriend with the same thing. I made him dependent on me, I paid for everything, I even gave alimony to a child that even I still doubt is really my child. But when he asked me to come back, I refused. I am free to use it as I please, and also abuse it as I please. It's time to get there, I'll throw it away,"

"Gosh," murmured Nirmala.

"Man from the past until now is so-so. Predictable. Except... Your sister,"

Nirmala raised her eyebrows.

"My sister?" tanyanya asked for confirmation.

Artha grinned.

"Because of that Mr. Artha fell in love with him? Because he's hard to guess?" ask Nirmala.

Artha shrugged her shoulders.

"I... Spechless again," Nirmala stroked her goosebumps. For him even Artha who is more frightening and difficult to guess.

"You know, she was looking for sugar daddy when I was clearly nearby! Less 'daddy' let alone me?! It's been so, it took me a long time until he wanted me to buy it! He always suspected that I was buying him something. The diamond necklace I gave to him as a sign of bonding, he gave it to his friend to pay off the debt, even though the value of the necklace was three times more expensive than his debt to Gwen! He never even seduced me to ask for something, until it was anxious taste to me!" Artha sewot.

"Hem," Nirmala just muttered while smiling awkwardly.

"Please sir, I'm very grateful as long as Mr. Artha takes care of him wholeheartedly,"

"How could I leave her while she's already tied me to the bone?!"

"Ehem," Nirmala just tickled.
