Twins And Falling In Love

“LOGGER!” Hardik Olivia with teary eyes, “ITU MY RESEARCH! I SPENT YEARS ON IT AND THESE 6 MONTHS I WAS DESPERATE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT SEMINAR.” Shouted Olivia loudly with tears.
EL raised both his hands up, hinting at the woman who was in a frenzy in front of him to calm down, “I know sis, I know.”
“LOW YOUR HAND, FOR WHAT ARE YOU—“
“TEND FOR A MOMENT!” Finally, the EL acted. She clasped Olivia's shoulders with her hands and nimbly reversed their position, now Olivia was cornered on the wall with the body of EL blocking it.
The firm words that came out of EL's mouth turned out to make Olivia speechless.
“Mother lecturer Alexa” EL continued in a calm tone after Olivia stopped nagging her, “Let's stop to yell at each other, huh? we talk about this calmly.”
The woman was still glaring at the student and her lover with emotion, but she tried to calm herself.
“I swear that I really don't know how our presentation could end up in his hands. You were the last one to keep that file on your laptop and I didn't double anythingI swear brother, I'm not that low as—and I have no intention of dropping you in this cheap way.— EL began to explain, “I understand how important this seminar is for you, I see for yourself all your efforts in completing it, how often you stay up for this, I know, and all the papers you read to perfect this research you even sacrificed your bedtime and I never dreamed of stealing this from you. Please believe me, I really don't know about this.”
“Then how can Sebastian have that file?” Olivia took a deep breath, her palms were now used to cover her own face, she did not want EL to witness how chaotic her expression was now. His research stolen people is already a big problem, no need to be coupled with the drama he showed his weakness in front of his students.
EL closed his eyes, trying to find a reasonable answer to the case.
“Kakak, I swear..”
“I believe in you.” Answer Olivia briefly. “Pardon my actions that directly accuse you shamelessly earlier.”
“apa?”
Olivia snapped her face to look at EL into her bead, “If you say that you don't know anything about this, then I believe you. I'm sure you won't do such an evil thing to me.” Olivia. “Any indeed, but I don't know, I feel that if I can trust you, after all you are my lover, there is no way that you drop me”
EL smiled warmly while stroking Olivia's cheek gently.
Olivia leaned her head against the cold wall behind her, her face looking up at the high ceiling in the room that was somewhere in the house as she tried to breathe as much oxygen as possible. “Do I have to talk to that rotten man?”
“If you want an answer to this mistake, I think you should talk to him.” El agrees with Olivia's thoughts, in his heart he will find out what happened and what he can do for Olivia.
Olivia let out a long sigh, “Prepare a glass of champagne for me, I guess I need alcohol after talking to that crazy guy.”

Professor Sebastian was busy shaking hands with some of his colleagues congratulating him on his new achievement when the man was introduced to the approaching figure of Olivia. Clearly the man knew what kind of behavior he had just committed, and he had also prepared a series of plans to defend what he had just seized.
“Ah! Professor Alexa, I didn't see you when I spoke on the podium, were you out of the room at the time?” He put a big fake smile on his face.
Olivia decided to join the show with her, “It's a shame, isn't it? But according to what I heard, you just did an awesome speech related to my research.” He emphasizes his tone.
“Do we need to discuss this issue? Because there seems to be a misunderstanding.” He throws his cynical gaze at Professor Sebastian.
“I think that's your guess, professor Alexa”
“I don't misunderstand, professor Sebastian. Unless you want to confront my lawyer with demands that you violate the code of conduct of educators by stealing intellectual property.” Olivia signs Professor Sebastian with her hand, so that the man follows Olivia out of the room.
The man took a deep breath before finally trailing Olivia's steps. As expected, this woman will definitely be angry and bring this business to the legal entity—not a problem for him, because professor Sebastian has also prepared a plan B.
Indeed, the man understood that what he did was a great sin in the field of his profession, but there were academic demands that he had to meet and he did not have enough time and capability to complete it all. In the past two years, professor Sebastian has not had time to produce any journals and research resulting in an academic panel threatening to revoke his professor's title if he does not improve his performance. This was the only way he could save the reputation and title he had, the way he was aware was just as low.
Olivia took Professor Sebastian to the room that EL had ordered earlier, the meeting room in the building, which was, I don't know how much money El spent but Olivia promised to replace the money spent by EL.
“So what should we discuss professor?” Challenge Sebastian as Olivia turns to look at him.
“First of all, how do you get access to my research?” Olivia walked back and forth in front of him.
“You work together with my daughter.” He answered, shrugging both shoulders.
The woman seemed to be able to hear a loud ‘klik’ bun inside her head. Of course there was one more person working with her and the girl was able to gain access to Olivia's laptop while she was off guard.
“Why?” Olivia asked in a still calm tone even though inwardly she really wanted to punch a sly smile on the middle-aged man's face.
“I have to produce research.” Professor Sebastian replied briefly.
“Make your own research.”
“I'm out of time.”
“Ask for help, not steal someone else's research!” Olivia's patience is over. “Did you ever think how much time I spent doing this research? How much effort and energy did I put in to get to this point? Do you think being chosen as a speaker in an international seminar is easy?!”
Professor Sebastian swallows the remnants of his self-esteem and remains pretending to feel innocent. “I see this matter a little differently, come on you don't lose very much, do you? I mean this way, this study only discusses the daily application of the green panel whose patent you already hold—your name is still known even if I am the one who presented this research. You only lost a trip to Copenhagen, Professor Cha.”
Olivia smacked her hand on the table in the middle of the room with all the energy she had. “NOT THAT THE POINT! THIS RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE—”
Olivia was unable to continue her words—ia refused to tear down her defenses in front of the person who had just stolen her work. This issue is not about credibility, not about the intellectual work that is deprived of it, nor about the career path that is increasingly promising for him.
