The Bigantara Mansion
The atmosphere of the mansion that morning looked different, the maids looked astonished to see their young master Rio, already eating his breakfast while the rest of the family had not yet come down to the dining table for breakfast.
"Here, please prepare hi-tea" Rian who was going down the stairs did not continue his words. He was stunned for a moment when he saw his twin brother already at the dinner table.
"Young master?" The Maid whose name was called by Rian earlier approached him.
"Oh yeah, please make me some green tea." Rian.
"Young master, I'll be ready soon."
Dini went from the front of Rian to the kitchen to make the tea requested by Rian. Rian continued his path towards the dining table.
"Are you sick Rio? You seem to be unwell."
Rian was sitting in the chair next to Rio, he was watching Rio who was eating.
"It looks like you're the one who's sick." Said Rio while looking towards Rian.
"I'm not sick. Precisely you're the weirdest hour this time already here, usually you're still on top."
"Ehemm, I'm done with breakfast. I'm leaving."
Rio immediately left the dining table after finishing his meal.
"That little boss's influence is great." Rian smiled as he looked at the figure of Rio who had started to move away.
"This young man's tea."
"Thank you, you can also make strawberry cake later I want to visit my sick sister."
"Good."
Dini and the few maids who were there felt a little surprised by Rian's behavior, the article Rio was fine. Or is his mind sick?.
The Bigantara Grub
Vannesa was in the secretary's room replacing Cakra today for meetings as well as office work, Cakra's article today did not enter. So the work of Cakra was left to Vannesa.
"How's the meeting going?"
Vannesa was surprised by Rio's sudden arrival. He tried to normalize his rapidly beating heart.
"All files are ready sir. Are you leaving now?"
"No problem. We're leaving now."
"Good sir."
Vannesa followed Rio from behind, she brought the file that will be used for today's meeting. Cakra said today there will be 2 meetings, so Vannesa is advised to bring her dossier at once.
In the car, Vannesa and Rio were both silent, they were busy in their respective minds.
15 Minutes away, they finally arrived at the company Adinata Group.
"Sir Rio, we've arrived." Speak driver Rio.
Vannesa smiled at the company, which was her first place of work after coming to this area.
When Vannesa wanted to get out of the car, Rio pulled Vannesa's hand. And Vannesa reflexes turned her head.
"Not speaking outside of work."
After saying that Rio immediately came out, and Vannesa was still thinking about what Rio said just now.
"You want to stay? I'll have you accompany Mr. Didi here."
Vannesa immediately realized from her daydream, she immediately got out of the car following Rio who had walked first.
"What kind of person are you Rio." Maki Vannesa in her heart
"Sir Rio, there's been a development." Mr. Didi smiled looking at Rio and Vannesa from behind.
When entering the Adinata company, there are several employees who pay attention to them both, including the reception section.
Vannesa stood at the reception desk, but the employee ignored her and was still daydreaming.
"Halloo?" Vannesa waved her hand right in front of the receptionist's eyes.
"Oh yeah, oh Vannesa there's something to help."
Rio squinted his eyes at the female receptionist.
"Do you have no ethics? You didn't even say hello to us when you came, and now you dare to call directly my secretary's name!" Snapped Rio to the receptionist, which made everyone shocked.
"Sir, that's no problem. Maybe because I used to be his friend so he called me by my name." Vannesa calmed Rio down.
"The reasoning makes sense, but remains unacceptable. It's tantamount to degrading the Bigantara company, because it doesn't respect employees who are under the auspices of the company."
Vannesa really did not know how to deal with the situation this time.
"What will the Cakra do when it encounters such a condition?" Vannesa asked in her heart.
"Vanny we're out of here. I don't want to work with a company that doesn't appreciate me."
Vannesa did not flinch, just that Rio called her Vanny? Just like how to call Rian.
"Ba good sir." Vannesa didn't know what to do, she just followed Rio's departure back then.
"Sir Rio, I'm sorry for the presumption of my employees. I'm sorry if the way our reception was less pleasing to Rio sir." Desta came just then, while Rio stopped his steps and turned around.
"Is this your ethics in welcoming prospective co-workers?"
Rio walked slowly towards Desta.
"We're really sorry, if it makes Mr. Rio unhappy."
"Ck, no problem. We continue the meeting."
Rio said to Vannesa beside him.
"Good sir."
Vannesa looked forward, while Desta was surprised by Vannesa's presence as a secretary beside Rio.
"Vannesa is you?" Said Desta while walking forward. While Rio stretched out one hand as a sign of stopping Desta.
"He's my secretary, I hope Mr. Desta can appreciate my secretary." Said Rio coldly.
Desta stopped his steps and turned around to walk towards the meeting room. Rio and Vannesa followed Desta.
Arriving in front of the meeting room there was Syerly who was waiting, Syerly widened his eyes when he saw Vannesa beside Rio.
"Sir Rio please come in first."
Desta allowed Rio and Vannesa to enter first and then followed by him.
"Rumor says Mr Rio is cruel to women is wrong?" Sherly muttered to herself, then she entered the room.
The meeting went smoothly, only Rio felt annoyed because Desta always glanced at Vannesa. After the meeting was over, Rio and Vannesa walked out of the room, but Vannesa's hand was pulled by Desta.
"Vannesa, are you mad at me?"
Vannesa turned her head towards Desta she smiled, then let go of Desta's hand.
"Sorry Mr. Desta, I don't have time. We'll be attending another meeting soon, excuse me."
Vannesa slightly bowed then followed Rio's footsteps. Rio silently smiled hearing the answer from Vannesa.
Desta felt disappointed at this moment, he felt very angry with Vannesa's departure from his company even starting to move away from him.
"Your brother is okay?" Sheerly approaches Desta but Desta immediately walks away from Sherly.
"Vannesa you're pretty lucky huh." Sherly speaks for herself.

Vannesa and Rio walk towards the company exit, Vannesa happens to pass through her study first. He looked towards the room without paying attention to the road.
Bruck
"Sir?" "Look in front." Vannesa obeys Rio's words, she sees Maya Desta's boyfriend is scolding someone. Vannesa squinted her eyes hoping to see more clearly.
"Good shit he's Hera." Vannesa immediately walked forward intending to help Hera. Rio was only paying attention to what his secretary was going to do.
"You have no eyes!" Maya prepares to slap Hera. Luckily Vannesa arrives just in time, Vannesa holds Maya's hand which will be used to slap Hera.
"You! Take my hand, turns out the actor yes, you're tired of living huh." Maya scolds Vannesa, while Hera does not know who helped her, because of Vannesa's position on her back.
"You and your friend are the same, yes."
"What mistakes did he make?"
"He's a road not careful, finally he hit me yes his name is not clear, always look for because of. Just like you."
Maya pushes Vannesa's body with her finger. Now Vanessa can't hold back her emotions, but she has to be professional.
"Previously sorry if I interfered with your problem. But please pay attention to your attitude, your attitude just now has made my CEO hurt eyes."
Hera who heard him was surprised, it turned out that the person was the secretary of Bigantara whose arrival was clearly going to hold a cooperation meeting. While Rio smiled hearing Vannesa on behalf of herself in the matter just now. But true what Vannesa said, he did have an eye pain when he saw the scene earlier.
"You're just looking for excuses, you're still too involved!" Maya does not accept herself being denigrated by Vanessa.
"What's the fuss? Why not let us go? Is this included in the company's hospitality Adinata?"
Rio finally decided to help Vanessa.
"Sir, I'm sorry for what happened just now." Hera bowed to apologize to Rio, but Rio did not notice her.
"Ck, weren't you the one who had made trouble with my girl back then? Miss I don't know what kind of trouble you're having, but you can't touch mine."
Rio's words made the surrounding atmosphere turn cold, while Vannesa felt a little uneasy with Rio's words.
Maya doesn't dare to fight anymore, she ends up leaving just like that.
"We're leaving." Rio continued his steps, but not with Vannesa, he chose to see Hera's condition first.
"Thank you for helping me." Hera said before she knew it was Vanessa.
"Not to be afraid, I'm always on your side." Vanessa turned to face Hera, and Hera was surprised to see Vannesa helping her earlier.
"Vannesa you? You're working at Bigantara's company right now?" Ask Hera who looks very happy.
"Yes as you can see. Are you all right?" Vannesa asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, let alone having met you. I'm glad you could work there, even the cold CEO called you his girl. What?"
"Here you go, let's talk Saturday at my house, yes, here's my address, you come there. I can't stay here for long."
"Hehehe yes I understand, be careful Vannesa."
Hera waved at Vannesa who had already walked away.

Vannesa got into the car in which Rio was waiting. After Vannesa entered, Didi's father drove his car.
"Have you talked?" A familiar tone to Vanessa. Very cool and cold.
"Yes already. Thank you for helping me talk."
Said Vannesa who was still regulating her breathing.
"You owe it to that! You owe me an explanation, too."
Vanessa gulped, she remembered using her boss's name earlier.
"That was me-Ah" The car stopped suddenly, Vannesa did not go on with her words.
"What's going on?" Rio's asking firmly.
"Sorry sir, but something's not right up front."
Rio and Vannesa looked ahead, it was true that there were some people who deliberately blocked their path.
The thugs numbered 5, all of whom were men whom Vannesa thought were paid men, who were paid to harm them.
"Hey you guys get down!" Shouted one of the thugs.
"Damn it, seeker for nothing."
Rio looks emotional, he tried to contact his bodyguard but unfortunately in that area there is no network.
"You guys come out don't hide!" The thugs, finally the three of them got out of the car.
"What do you want?" Rio asked them.
"Of course you're gonna finish you off."
The thug replied with a face full of vengeance, then he went forward intending to beat up.
"Can't be left." Vanessa came up against the thug.
"Vann don't be rash!" Rio called Vannesa but was not ignored.
"You guys start first."
The emanation of the killing aura of Vannesa was very pronounced, he kicked, hit and even injured the bodies of the thugs. Rio and Didi looked at that scene from near the car feeling a little scared.
After a fierce fight, Vannesa finally managed to cripple them. Vannesa pushed the five of them in front of Rio. Rio who understood Vannesa's intentions instantly interrogated them.
"Say what you want." Rio asked in a very firm voice.
"I'm sorry sir, we're just running errands." Reply to one of the thugs tremblingly.
Dukk
Vannesa kicked their leader and put her dagger closer to the thug with a scary expression.
"Say, who paid you for this? Be honest or you'll take the consequences."
Rio and Didi gulped their saliva, not expecting a girl who looked weak to have such a frightening side to this.
"I'm-I'm sorry, I said. Desta told us to. We were rewarded with money and he told us to hurt all three of you."
"Goat blacken others, have severe sanctions." Vannesa hurt the thug's face with her dagger.
"Gee! Forgive me, well we were really told by Desta, and also a woman named Maya, she told us to beat you up. And and if necessary make you dead. We're getting double paid now."
"So, the mastermind behind this is those lovers." Rio stared intently ahead.
"Ck, really compact." Rio showed his smirk which managed to impress Vanessa.
"Ehem, I forgive you. But you know what you're not supposed to do?" Vanessa plays her dagger around the thug. While the thugs looked at each other, they did not know what to do.
"I'm a good girl. You search for them both and then tell them that you have done your job well, as well as lost track. Then you can benefit, as well as us. How's it?"
Vannesa smiled very eeriely in front of the thugs. The thugs nodded in understanding, they felt helped at this moment.
As for Rio, he did not understand what plan Vannesa was thinking at the moment.
"All right, you guys, get out of here before I change my mind."
"Thank you, miss, thank you, sir. Excuse me." They immediately flushed.
"He's more than us thugs. He must be a hit man, or maybe a fairy for still being kind to us." Said the thug to his friend on his escape
"Vannesa we really need to talk."
Vannesa gulped, now Rio will definitely introgate Vannesa all the way to his roots.
Vannesa and Rio got into the car and the car drove back. Rio was looking at Vannesa with an intimidating gaze that was strong enough, which gave Vannesa goosebumps.
"Sorry sir I can't say about my real problem."
Vannesa said it while looking down, making Rio feel kasian to Vannesa. Rio thought that Vannesa must have had a complicated problem, or a bad childhood.
