The Twins of Rich CEOs

56. Fiesta

..."If I take Zoya there, to the middle of a party filled with noisy elders and cunning, isn't it the same as dragging her into trouble?"...

...***...

"Is the food ready?"

A man in a white hat then replied, "Here you go, Boss."

"Beverage for guests?"

"That's it, Boss."

Dafa felt calm after hearing that. As the Boss, the man was obliged to make sure that all preparations for today's event could go well. The food, drinks, and waiters had been prepared according to the one they had discussed a while ago. Now, they just have to wait for the time to enter and serve the food and drinks.

Dafa glanced at Zoya who seemed to tidy up her appearance. Time goes by so fast. Just know, the year-end event for the Prawijaya Group company has arrived. Dafa has indeed sought to provide the best service to its important customers, as well as other employees. Hopefully no problems will happen later.

When one of the organizers of the event coded them to enter, the workers on duty to be the servants immediately sped up and took on the task. Zoya also does the same thing, she goes to bring food to the event room that has been arranged.

Gallen stared at his appearance in the mirror. Just like always, he does look cool in any suit. But this time, there was something different about him. There was no look of pleasure, pride, or anything on Gallen's face, because he kept a flat face from a few days ago.

"Boss still thinking about Zoya?"

Alby who was standing a few meters behind asked. Actually, that's a free question. Because of course, the only thing that could make her boss' mood go up and down like that was just that woman, Zoya.

Ever since Zoya opted out of Gallen's house, the man had already lost his spirit. He did ask the woman to bring Milo, their son, in the hope that the close relationship between father and son between them would make the woman melt. However, for some reason, Gallen was unsure of his idea.

"Actually I'd like to invite Zoya to attend this party, but ... " Gallen did not continue his words. He just took a long breath.

Alby was waiting for the next word the man would say. However, the man just bowed while staring at the floor. Gallen realized that the longer their relationship became more ambiguous. Why doesn't Zoya just take it, anyway?!

Impatiently waiting, Alby then took the courage to ask.

"Is the Boss worried that the invitation will only burden Zoya?"

Gallen.

"Since the beginning he has not accepted me. If I take Zoya there, to the middle of a party filled with noisy elders and cunning, isn't it the same as dragging her into trouble?"

Alby thought that, and Gallen's words were not entirely wrong. Since the beginning of the business world is quite hard. If we are not strong enough to survive, then it is easy for others to get rid of us.

Especially for Gallen who has lost his strong supporters. Although some of the elders looked pro to him, it was certain that it was all just a charade as they also wanted to profit from him.

"Then can we leave now, boss? Because the show will start soon."

Alby understood his boss's feelings. But as an assistant, it's his job to remind Gallen of important moments like this. However, the man was only a human being, although some people considered Gallen as a stubborn boss who had no heart, in the end he still suffered from heart problems like this.

Gallen then walked first, went with Alby to go to the party. Although actually he did not like it too much, but as the main heir of course Gallen has an obligation to attend there.

As with each year, Gallen comes forward to deliver a few words as motivation and advice for the future progress of their company. Not long, of course. Because Gallen doesn't like to talk at length. It would only make the person who heard it feel tired and sleepy. So after giving a short speech, the man immediately got down from there and headed to a chair that was his chair earlier.

"A very short speech as always, my nephew."

Gallen chuckled faintly at the words of his Tanten, Aunt Pamela. He knew that he always hoped that Gallen would be a little more serious about giving a speech, but in the end he only gave a short speech that only contained about two or three minutes.

"They'll definitely feel tired and sleepy if I talk at length, Auntie." The answer.

Aunt Pamela chuckled. Beside him was David, Aunt Pamela's only son. He did not look excited at all with the party they held, instead coolly looking at the exit. This is inversely proportional to previous years.

"David, greet your cousin." Aunt Pamela's orders.

As is known, Aunt Pamela takes care of her husband's company in another city. He only occasionally came to this city, especially when it will be held events like today. He realized that his nephew was not yet mature enough to prepare for this feast alone. Likewise with David, he is rarely in this city as much as his mother.

But David was not very close to Gallen. Hearing his mother say so, David just turned his head and again threw away his face.

"We're all grown up, Ma. Why do we have to say anything." Said. David refused his mother's orders.

"David!"

"Tante," Gallen dismissed his tantrum, "Thank you for helping me organize this event every year."

Aunt Pamela was a little surprised, not expecting to finally be able to hear the words of gratitude from her nephew. Hasn't he been helping his nephew for years? But, only this time did he hear that sentence directly from the mouth of his nephew.

"Ah, yes. No need to think too much. We are family." Said.

Aunt Pamela held one of Gallen's hands, like a Mother who held her Son's hand lovingly and affectionately. Usually Gallen will avoid when the Tantenya want to hold hands or just pat her shoulders, but this time the man was silent. Aunt Pamela even wondered in her heart. What made his nephew so friendly today?

David just rolled his eyes when he saw that.

Someone called the waiter to bring him an extra drink. It didn't take long, a few servants then walked into the middle of the event.

"Oh yes, Gallen. Some time ago Auntie had a call to your home phone number. But it seems like the one who raised was a woman?

Gallen didn't hear much of his Tanten words because he had been misfocused with his cousin who previously seemed uninterested in the event, but now he was smiling widely. Gallen looked in the same direction. He saw the direction of David's gaze, and immediately Gallen was surprised to find out who the person his cousin was looking at was.

"Zoya?" Gallen muttered in a soft voice.
