The Secret of the Billionaire's Curse

Curious about Mysterious Girls

At the same time elsewhere, Frans is currently receiving a call from Aren to talk about some things. Aren often asked Frans' opinion before he took a decision to cooperate with some of his clients because for him, Frans knows better which decision to take.

“Frans, I'm so confused. The project offered this time is huge. But, the risk that I might receive was also great. You know, the construction of this project was in a garden that for decades has been supporting the local people. The construction of this project will definitely cause a lot of protests from residents,” complained Aren from across the phone.

Frans skipped slowly. Early in the morning when he should have been getting ready to go to work actually had to be delayed because of a call from Aren. No, not that Frans doesn't like it. It's just that Frans was very lazy to talk about work this morning because he still remembers what happened last night.

“Begini, Aren. Will your project be able to help the locals? I mean, are you also going to provide jobs for them during construction or after your project is completed?” frans asked while yawning widely.

“Of course, Frans. Most likely I will need labor from local residents,” replied Aren.

“Then why are you still confused? You can explain to the local residents carefully about your project plan and the benefits for the local residents,” Frans replied while rolling his eyes.

“But that's not the case, Frans,” call it Aren. “This project will also cost quite fantastic. If until this project fails in the middle of the road, the father's company will definitely lose big.”

“If the problem is, you should discuss it with the financial or legal counsel of the company. You have to think of everything about the company budget. Do not let the company end up in debt at the bank,” proposed Frans.

“Ah, you're right. Alright, alright. Thanks for the advice, Frans. I don't know anymore what to do if it's not for your suggestions,” said Aren.

“Sama-sama,” reply Frans, then turn off the phone connection.

The man put his cell phone on the bedside nightstand and then got up. Suddenly his mind is pulled back on last night when he helps a beautiful girl with a chaotic appearance who intercepts the speed of his car.

“Why am I thinking about that girl?” frans muttered to himself.

He doesn't know who the girl is. He forgot to ask what his name was. But, one thing was clear, the foreign girl had caught his attention. Frans, who had never thought of a woman again after his divorce from Carlynda, suddenly became curious about the girl he helped yesterday.

The girl's cute act of asking for help and intending to borrow money made her feel amused herself. Frans who had not smiled for a long time today smiled back. Suddenly, he was curious about a girl he didn't even know what her name was.

“Argh! I'd go crazy thinking about that girl all the time,” Frans said. The man rubbed his face in frustration then continued his sentence. “I'm curious about what happened last night with that girl.”

Frans walked to the door of his room. As soon as he opened the door, it just so happened that a servant was passing by carrying a pile of dirty clothes in a basket.

“Good morning, Sir,” greet the waiter.

“Please call my driver. I want him to meet me in the dining room in fifteen minutes,” Frans orders.

“Good, Sir,” replied the waiter.

After getting ready, when he entered the dining room, apparently the driver was already waiting there. Frans approached the driver immediately.

“Good morning, Sir. Is it true you called me?” ask the driver Frans.

Frans nodded. “Do you know where the cafe mentioned by the girl we helped yesterday?” ask Frans without further ado.

“Know, Sir. I happened to go there once,” replied the driver. “But, if you may know, why, yes, Mister?”

“After breakfast, I want you to take me there,” Frans said.

The driver was surprised when he heard this. He even went silent for a moment while ascertaining whether he had heard wrongly or not. He was astonished by his boss' attitude because from last night, he saw something different from his boss. After meeting the girl, Frans smiled more often and now Frans even asked the driver to drive her to the girl's cafe.

“Didn't you hear me?” frans asked annoyed because the driver did not give an answer.

“I heard it, Sir. I'll get the car ready soon. Excuse me,” he said quickly and then left, afraid that Frans would be angry with him.

Ten minutes later, Frans is escorted by a driver to go to Kara's cafe, the girl Frans helped last night. During the trip to get there, Frans was not ceaselessly thinking about the girl. Somehow the girl he had just met for an instant could fill the space in his head.

“We have arrived, sir,” said driver Frans after driving for almost half an hour. Apparently, the distance between Frans' house and the girl's cafe was not too far away. “Do you want to go down, Sir?”

“No. I just want to look around from here,” Frans said. If Frans decides to go down, the girl may think that Frans wants to collect the money. Frans had no thought about the money at all. All he wanted to know was where the girl lived and who the girl was.

Frans looked out the window. He observed the not-so-extensive third-level cafe. The cafe looks simple with the concept of a library because there are so many books on display there. The cafe looks very comfortable for people who want to spend time enjoying food while looking for tranquility from the books lent in the cafe.

The driver Frans glanced at Frans from the rearview mirror. Again he was astonished because his employer smiled to himself while staring at the cafe. However, she chose not to ask for fear of upsetting Frans' mood.

Frans' smile grew even more when he saw Kara standing behind the cashier's desk smiling kindly at the visitor.

‘She seems like a very cheerful girl,’ Frans murmured in heart.

However, the perfectly fluffy smile on Frans' lips suddenly disappeared when he saw a man enter the cafe and greeted Kara with great kindness. They even seemed to be chatting there as if they had known him for a very long time.

For some reason, Frans didn't like what he was seeing right now.
