Thorny Love

*Chapter 42

"Ti-not really, Pa." Zein said with a wave.

"Then? Why is your expression different after knowing the name of the company we want to work with is Zaza group company?"

"Nothing, Pa. I was a little surprised by the name of the company. Zaza group, it's a very simple and easy name," Zein told his papa.

"It has. Don't talk about unimportant things like that, Zein. Now, papa wants you to go to the homeland immediately. If you can, you'll have to leave tomorrow."

"What, Pa? Me?"

"Yes, you. Who else tried?"

"Step, Pa. Why didn't papa go to the land? Sometimes you have to feel the fresh air in the homeland, Pa."

"Zein, don't bullshit much. During this time also you are always running a business abroad. After all, you are most often back and forth to the homeland. So, why are you being so weird now? What mistake have you made that you feel afraid to go home, huh?" asked her father while searching for the truth of the word she had just said.

"Oh my God, papa. I didn't make a mistake, why did papa even say that to me."

"Then? Why are you afraid to go home?"

"I'm not scared, Pa. I'm just offering the same papa, so I suspect."

"Father don't want to know, tomorrow you have to go to the country. Obtain a contract of cooperation with the Zaza group company. If you can't, don't go home."

After speaking like that, Papa Zein immediately moved out of place. He did not wait for Zein to answer his words again just left.

"Eh, papa."

"Uh, actually, it's not a big deal if I don't lie to Zia about who I really am. What if Zia is angry with me because I lied to her with a fake identity. Die me. Not only did I not get a cooperation contract, I might also lose Zia's trust."

"Okay .. how can it be so complicated. I had just started my struggle to steal her heart, eh had to face the important task you gave me" Zein said again, rubbing her face rough.

A knocking sound rang out at the entrance of Zein's room. That made Zein have to forget for a while the heavy problems that were plaguing his mind.

"Lake in!" Zein spoke in a loud voice while returning to his chair.

A woman went inside very carefully. He had a file in his hand.

"Sorry young master, the big boss sent me here to convey a new order from the big boss to the young master."

"Okay, what else do you have to make my days difficult now," Zein said in a whisper. Because he was talking to himself.

"Say! What else does he want from me now?"

"The big boss canceled his intention of telling the young master to leave tomorrow."

"Wow that's a great idea. Tumben papa thought about the grievance I felt. Nice-nice," said Zein a little happily.

"He Young master. Good, because the big boss wants the young master to leave today as well."

"What!"

Zein was shocked by what her papa assistant said. At first, he was happy because in Zein's mind, maybe his papa was delaying departure until the next few days. Not delay, but speed up.

"What's the matter young master? Why is the young master so shocked? In fact, just now the young master looked so relieved by what I said," said the assistant whose father with a clueless face.

"Oh, forgive me young master. I just follow orders from the big boss. These are all necessities that young master needs. There is also a flight ticket here that will depart three hours from now" the assistant said, handing over what he had brought.

"Oh, thank you. Just put it there," Zein said as he pointed at the front side of the table.

"Either. Now, my task is done, I beg you to resign first, young master."

"Yes, please." Zein said limp and resigned.

'Papa is really impatient. Three hours from now? How can I prepare everything. Well, is he my papa or not?' Zein spoke inwardly while complaining.

However, he continued to follow what his father wanted. Because all this time, papa Zein was a thoughtful person. If he wants something, he has considered it carefully before he decides what to do.

"Pak Restu, there are representatives from foreign companies who want to meet with the leadership of our company. The representative is in the meeting room right now" Restu's secretary said.

"What! A representative of a foreign company? As far as I'm concerned, we don't have an appointment to meet with a representative from a foreign company, do we? Ms. Zia also has nothing to say about the foreign companies that will visit our company," said Restu confused by what his secretary said.

"Sorry Mr. Restu, I don't know either. I also did not hear any news from Zia. But the truth is, that representative is in our company now."

"Yes .. yes, that's it. You go back to your place! Take care of what needs to be taken care of. Let me call Zia's mom to talk about this."

"Good sir Restu. Excuse me."

"Yes." Yeah."

After the secretary left his room, Restu immediately contacted Zia. Fortunately, Ziana was fiddling with the phone so that it could instantly pick up a call from Restu.

"Hello, Res." Zia's voice came from across there.

"Hello, ma'am."

"What did you call mbak?"

"Mbak Zia where now. There's something important I want to talk about."

"I'm still in the apartment right now. Where do you want to talk?"

"Can Zia come to the office now, ma'am? There's something urgent we need to talk about."

"Oh, yeah that's it. I'm going to the office right now."

"Yes mbak. I'm waiting for Zia's mom."

After the call was cut off, Zia immediately got up from her seat. He immediately left the apartment for the office.

Meanwhile, Laila was heading towards Sinta's house. Even though he already knew that Sinta was not Rama's real mama, but he still did not care about it. What was on his mind at the moment was, how he and Sinta should still make up as before.

When Sinta sees Laila, Sinta intends to expel Laila. Because he thought he didn't need Laila anymore. He also does not want to be in contact with Laila anymore. Because his need for Laila is up.

"Would you come to my house? Did you forget that I'm not Rama's real mama?" ask Sinta before expelling Laila.
