VENGEFUL SHACKLES

An offer

By selling a false sad story in the media about him being abandoned by his son and not allowed to see his grandson, the prestige of Frans running in the mayoral election became very high and skyrocketed.

Many people who sympathize with him and keep Frans as a candidate for elected mayor, making Mark who is also one of the candidates who are running for mayor also felt furious, he had spent a lot of money on the campaign and bribe here and there but instead had to lose prestige by his former employees plus prospective besan who was canceled because of the marriage of their daughter who finally failed to feel increasingly angry and hates Frans.

To be honest, his participation this time in the nomination of mayor is also because he wants to defeat Frans, and make Frans who is very obsessed and confident will succeed in pitching to be the mayor feel the failure, he said, embarrassed and disappointed like how his daughter and also the entire extended family humiliated by Joshep who incidentally is the son of Frans.

Mark raised his eyebrows when he accidentally saw Frans talking to Alex's doctor at a small coffee shop in the suburbs while he was reviewing one of the locations to be built sick by it.

"Right sir, it's doctor Alex, one of Permata's senior doctors" replied his assistant.

Mark suddenly felt intrigued to find out about Frans' proximity to one of his hospital staff, because he had never seen Frans that close to Alex.

**

Mark felt a little surprised when two days later his secretary suddenly said that Doctor Alex wanted to see him.

Mark's eyebrows collide with a frown, "Alex?" he murmured in a tone like asking but what was asked was himself.

"Send him in!" answer Mark.

To be honest, after she found out that Alex seemed close to Frans, she became interested in finding out why he was meeting her.

"Good day, Mr. Mark!" greet Alex with a meaningful smile.

"You, aren't you one of the senior doctors at Permata who is now also the chief in charge of the pharmaceutical department?" mark pretended not to know.

"What's? Didn't you say the wrong thing? You came asking to see me, so why are you asking like that? As if I needed you and told you to come here? You're so weird!" mark said with a look that began to dislike Alex who considered too much intrigue and his face was full of cunning.

"Are you sure you don't need anything from me sir?" ask Alex again with a mysterious smile.

"Hey, you're wasting my time, if you don't have anything to do with me, please leave, I have a lot to take care of besides taking care of a crazy person like you!" mark lost his patience.

"Have you not been telling your men to follow and observe my movements for two days, so I took the initiative to come here so that you could ask me directly if there was anything you wanted to know about me, rather than you taking the trouble to get someone to stalk me." Alex said to make Mark feel flabbergasted again for the umpteenth time because it turns out Alex is not as simple as he thinks, because Alex is not as simple as he thinks, the doctor turned out to even know if he sent someone to observe his movements the last two days.

"You may as well, how can you conclude that if the person who followed you was my man, I could have reported you for accusing me of being without evidence, in addition to losing my job, you can also be punished for your accusation. After all, I don't need any information from you, you don't matter, why do I tell people to follow you." Mark scoffed as he posed a threat.

"Well, I'm sorry if I guessed wrong. But--- what if I want to give you important information about doctor Frans? Are you still not interested in knowing?" alex's sly smile again rattled with a bitch in Mark's eyes.

"What do you know about Frans?" challenge Mark.

This time Mark can not be kink again, is not the time to play a tug-of-war with people as slick as Alex, he just have to follow the game Alex, because he is sure if this will certainly benefit him.

"There's a lot, a lot of things I know about Frans' doctor, that might benefit you" Alex replied.

"What do you want as your information payment?" mark's eyes stared intently at Alex who seemed to sparkle when he knew Mark was opening an offer for him.

"Become director of the Gems!" alex replied lightly conveying what he had wanted and had not yet got because Frans just sold him a promise.

"Did I not hear wrong? Director Jewels? What information do you have until you dare to charge that much?" Mark laughed mockingly.

"The information is very big and makes you satisfied and can avenge all your revenge and hatred on him" said Alex.
