The Secret of the Secretary
Chapter 71
Triiiing...!
A message notification came into Vero's phone that morning while he was having breakfast with Mami. While Opa and Oma have returned to their home, due to the Princess' better condition.
📲 'Today we leave at what time to the hospital sis?', Rania
📲 'Today Jeff will pick you up and drive you to the hospital. You just wait in the mess' lobby, Vero
📲 'Emang sister is not to the hospital today?', Rania
Vero who was confused answered the contents of the message then put his phone on the table with annoyance. Mami who was surprised to see the behavior of her son who looked upset that morning asked.
"Who sent the message? How is that his face? It's still early this morning." said Mami asked mockingly Vero.
"Not who Mi is" said Vero flat and immediately continued eating.
"Today we'll pick up Nia at what time?" asked Mami who made Vero snort annoyed.
"We go straight to the hospital" Vero answered briefly and immediately finished his breakfast.
There must be something happening to them, inner Mami.
Not long after they went to the hospital after Mami previously prepared the favorite food of the Princess so that she did not get bored because she continued to eat hospital food.

"Hmmm... Jeff's assistant" called Rania hesitant as they were already in the car that was speeding through the highway to the hospital.
"Yes Miss" Jeff replied politely to his Boss' lover.
"Don't be like that, call me as usual Assistant Jeff" said Rania who felt awkward on the call like that.
"I'm sorry it doesn't seem like Miss, because we're out of the office" Jeff replied.
You can cut my salary later if you know I'm not polite to his future wife. Although now he may still doubt the consequences of that event, Jeff's mind.
Rania who did not want to argue with the assistant who was her superior also chose to be quiet.
"Today Mr Vero is busy huh?" his curious question is why Vero didn't pick him up.
"I'm sorry but I don't know Miss, because I'm only told to pick you up" replied Jeff who did not give a definite answer.
Rania who heard that answer just sighed and leaned her back.
I'm sorry Rania, because I can't tell you the reason for Mr. Vero's current attitude, inner Jeff.
Arriving at the hospital they went straight to the VIP treatment room where the Princess was treated.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Sreeek...!
"Good Morning" said Rania as she entered the room.
"Rania?!" mami exclaimed in surprise when she saw him enter while she was feeding the Princess.
"For Nia" Ale said excitedly as he waved his hand.
"Good Morning, Madam...Young Miss..." Jeff greeted the two. "Good Morning Sir" he continued as he walked towards Vero.
"Let's talk outside" said Vero coldly as he stood and carried his tablet and mobile phone. He walked through Rania without saying a word, not even looking at her. It was as if Rania wasn't there.
The confused Rania could only stare at Vero's missing back behind the door with questions.
What's with brother? I thought he was busy and couldn't get to the hospital? But in fact he was here first. He did not greet and look at me, as if I was just the wind then to him, Rania's inner being.
The princess who saw her brother's attitude that turned cold like that was astonished.
What's the matter with them? Why did your attitude change so much one hundred and eighty degrees this morning? I've never even seen such a cold attitude of big brother. Will Rania share her story with me? Maybe I can reconcile them, Inner Princess
...❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁...
As she arrived in the hallway near the father's room, Rania heard a voice like someone was arguing. He stopped his steps and sharpened his hearing.
"What do you mean say something like that?" the voice of a middle-aged woman asked.
"I mean it's good Ma, so that everything is clear and clear" said a man who seemed younger.
"Okay how? Everything has been going as it should!" exclaim that woman.
"But we can survive and live comfortably because of Ma's sacrifice! Mama, don't forget that!" yell that guy again.
"You also do not forget, that Papa you are the one who has struggled to be able to restore the condition of the company until now! It's enough we give fifty-one percent shares to his son and his dividends so far. While she was just sitting there, enjoying free meals three times a day and sleeping without a load" she said.
"But that's because he's the one Ma sacrificed. If his position was behind it, he would fight for their company. You know why I didn't want to join Papa's company?" ask the man back.
"That's because you're comfortable and enjoying your life as an international model" the woman guessed.
"No Ma! That's not the reason" the man replied as he shook his head. "The more appropriate reason is because of my guilt towards HIM!" exclaimed the man while pointing towards Rania's father's room in the care.
Why is the man pointing towards father's room?, Rania's inner.
He was confused because even though he only saw the back of the man's back, but he could clearly see the direction of the man's index finger.
"Why do you feel guilty for him?" ask the woman. "Yet your Papa is gone, so there is no point in worrying about what has happened" she said.
"But that is Papa's last request to me Ma! I will continue to be burdened with this feeling" the man said, rubbing his face in frustration
"Please think about all the risks, if until the media knows for sure the company will also be shaken. Are you going to sacrifice the fate of thousands of employees and their families for him and your ego?" the woman tried to persuade.
"Let me think about it first" said the man, turning his back and rounding his eyes when he saw someone behind him.
"Bec... Ra's... Rania?!" figo exclaimed in surprise when he saw Rania at the end of the hallway with an indecipherable look on her face.
