The Unexpected Love Journey
ARC II: CHAPTER X
The next day, Andre and Brandon arrive at the place they made an agreement with Tony an hour early. But this time, Brandon deliberately sat a little further to observe whether Tony would do anything suspicious or not, and of course to execute Andre's brilliant-sounding plan when Andre told him on the way here.
The atmosphere of the cafe is arguably not much different from when they first Junior High, the change may be in the color of the walls that become fresher and follow the trend this year, the addition of several gagdets to facilitate service, and the, and the wall that faces outward; the one that used to not wear full glass is now full glass. Fair enough according to him.
However, there is one that makes everyone who visited a few years ago can reminisce. Namely one side of the wall is full of scribbles from the past that seemed deliberately left and given a spotlight from the top to add to the sentimental impression.
As soon as Tony showed up, Brandon took out his mini-camera; a prototype of Andre's company, and disguised it by placing the camera a bit closer to the tissue box and the toothpick holder while looking for a rather fitting member. And while Andre and Tony were talking, he listened to everything from Andre's phone connected to his earphone while doing something on his laptop.
“Where is Diana hah?” Tony was immediately a bit stiff as he sat in front of Andre.
“Wow, relax. Wait for my order to come, okay?”
“Lu not scared? Dare to go out in front of so many gini rich people with so many rumors that are involving you now?”
“Scare? Me? For What?” Andre had snorted to hear the words of Tony, “Lagian, the cave also never made a mistake. Yunita herself knew about that. And suprising her again, Diana was already familiar with Yunita. It may even be where they tell their secrets. You know right, how women if already klop really,”
“So what do you want huh?”
“Hmm, how about you pull all the articles you're spreading out there right now? Who know? Yunita might be able to persuade Diana to go home to your embrace?”
“Gua pe..”
As Tony was speaking, a servant intruded them. The waiter brought 2 drinks of their order.
“Thanks,” Andre greets. The waiter—coincidentally a woman—looked a little crush when Andre greeted, “Go ahead,” Andre invited Tony to continue speaking after the waiter moved away.
“Gua warn you yes, don’t play any trick with me if you do not want to regret later. You know how cruel our world is when it comes to gossip?”
Andre chuckles at Tony's threat. While Brandon was a little surprised by Andre's reaction which seemed to underestimate Tony's threat.
However, even more puzzling, was what Andre was thinking at the moment. Because, dealing directly with Tony is a little crazy, of course, must be able to keep the mind can not be read by him.
“Really? You haven't seen the one yesterday that had no effect? Let me tell you one thing, before dreaming to destroy someone, better pay attention to yourself first,” after saying that, Andre then took his phone that he put on the table, and then took it, send something to Tony and then stand up, “Send all the photos you'll make your wild gossip material to the emails I send. Or, you will feel the consequences,” Andre said before walking away from Tony; which Brandon followed 5 minutes later without passing Tony.
***
However, as usual, Tony did come but only through a hidden room that could see the entire press conference.
Once Andre; which was then followed by his mother, Yunita, Brandon, and Diana entered the room that had been filled with journalists from various media. Flashes of camera flashes from various directions in front of them instantly snatched each second for a few moments.
Andre then took a seat in the middle between his mother and Yunita, while Diana sat beside Yunita. Brandon prefers to stand next to Widya, his mother's assistant near the special entrance they passed earlier.
Before starting, Andre closed his eyes, trying to calm himself from the nervousness first. Only after feeling ready did he start talking,
“Good day, thank you for waiting so long. Today, it's actually his agenda for my appointment as the new director of one of my family's companies. But the power is less attractive, right? Therefore, today, at the end. Sister Diana will provide clarification and surprise for all of you about the rumors about the three of us that have been circulating lately,”
When Andre mentioned the matter of clarification, the eyes of the reporters turned so excited. The usually lethargic face became radiant the same as when hearing a raise. Andre was of course aware of this, so he did not linger too long during the interview session about his announcement as Director of his father's subsidiary; maybe only about 5 to 10 minutes.
When it was time for Diana to speak, all the reporters immediately prepared to standby with her various combat equipment, all the cameras were the same, directly highlighting Diana. They were all on standby with his laptop, racing to release the news at the earliest.
“Good day, thank you. Before I tell you the truth, I would like to once again apologize to everyone who has been harmed by my lies. I had to do all of this because I had to. I was threatened by Tony, one of the HR Manager at FBL Corp.
He secretly got me drunk, raped me and threatened me with a video he secretly took. Shamed of my family, I was forced to do everything he asked, which was to work together to make false rumors about brother Andre,”
Tony who listened to all the words of Diana became very emotional because he did not expect that he would be trapped in a trap set by Andre.
“Look at you basic women don't know are lucky,” muttered Tony in his heart.
With emotion she stood up from her seat, picked up her phone and was about to spread the video she was wearing to threaten Diana. However, he was surprised to see that the video was not in the gallery no matter how many times he refreshed the gallery.
Emotional that his plan was falling apart, he tried to call his assistant. However, upon opening the door, he was startled when he saw Dimas and the few policemen who were already waiting for him outside
Actually, Dimas had been waiting for Tony ever since he entered earlier while waiting for the arrival of the police; just in case Tony was about to run away.
“How huh? It's good to be betrayed? Let's just say it's pay because it messed up Andre's life first, you loser, ” whispered Dimas.
“Hah, you think you can catch me just because the woman said that?” Tony tried to evade. However, the police then show the arrest warrant and bring Tony; who is silent at the sight of the official letter of his arrest.
Diana, accompanied by Yunita sees Tony being carried by the police from a distance. While Andre, he was still trying to persuade his mother to forgive Diana for all the problems that had occurred during this time. Since yesterday, his mother has continued to curse Diana despite having been explained several times if all of that was because of Tony's threat.
