When Love Is Present

Chapters 30. Solving Problems.

I had to tell Laras, it wasn't what he saw. Baras what are you doing. I'm going home Laras.

"Master has arrived."

Vim reverie. With a shaky step he entered the house. But his heart wanted to meet with the barrel immediately. Some of the lights on the walls illuminate the room. It's been almost half ten nights. Maybe Laras is asleep. Vim does not find Laras welcoming his return.

Vim stepped into the room. Open the door but do not find the Barrel.

"By the line."

Vim looking in the bathroom. Barrels don't exist. Looking in the room changing clothes is also not there.

Does he prank me?

"Clearned!"

Vim looked down at the bed and was empty there.

Vim calls Bibi not wanting to know if Bibi is asleep or not. He asked Laras and Bibi said that Laras was going to his mother's house. He said Laras kangen with his mother.

Huuhh. It's all because of Aurora. Had Laras not seen him it would not have been like this.

It's so quiet here. Did I just follow him there.

Vim contacted Laras but did not connect with the number Laras. Baras shut off his hp.

Vim's body and mind were tired. Not long Vim slept on the sofa until the morning.

The next morning after breakfast, Vim contacted his mother-in-law. Breakfast today and unaccompanied Laras make Vim less excited. There was only Auntie Am in the dining room. Put some warm milk tea on the dinner table and then go back to the kitchen.

"Sorry mom. Want to know if Laras is there?" Vim called my mother-in-law.

'......'

"There's nothing. I'll be back there later but Laras don't tell ya ma'am."

'......'

Vim continued his morning activities. Departure to the office ushered in by Mr. Uun. He had to preside over the meeting that had been arranged today so as to postpone overtaking Laras. Trying to get rid of his personal business first.

The meeting was held at nine in the morning. All employees of the development department were present in the meeting room waiting for their boss to come.

Finally the waiting came. Each entrenched

sit and be still.

Vim opens the meeting. Everyone is taking it seriously. Today's meeting discussed their new products that have been claimed by other parties.

"Therefore I ask you to work hard again to create such a product but superior to the old one. By keeping an eye on the composition of the ingredients. The outer design and shape of the bottle we created a new one. If this works you will get a bonus. Chasing the launch time seems too close but if you can it is an achievement. I appreciate it"

They in the room looked at each other. The development manager seemed to think hard how to make a better formula again while the old one was already the most superior.

"How is this?"

"How can you?"

"It's very little time."

Their voices sounded like whispers.

"Before my meeting closes are there any questions or perhaps someone will honestly admit a mistake?"

Vim was just testing all his men. He knows who stole his data. A name associated with Nomissi. Nomissi's subsidiary, led by Rony, committed the data theft.

"Well if there are no meeting questions I close. Remember who dares to do harm to the company will accept the consequences. Good day." Vim was a little threatening. He must be firm so that such things do not happen from people within the company.

The development manager runs side by side with Vim.

"I didn't expect them to play dirty sir."

"Their chirping makes me want to vomit. Make a press conference, I'll talk."

Elsewhere Rony smirked in satisfaction. New products owned by his company have slid ahead of the company Vim.

His men have worked amazingly. This time he got ahead of Vim.

Finally the press conference took place. Vim said that Nomissi had cheated. He is determined to prove it and issue new products that are superior in efficacy that aim to meet the needs of the household.

A cold war broke out between the two companies. One belongs to Vim and the other one belongs to Rony. Each one stood with his opinion. Rony considers if Vim issued the same product means Vim has opened competition with him. In just less than a day news of the feud spread everywhere.

Dion and Edo welcome Vim, who has just finished his press conference.

"Prophe bro.prove who controls the market later." Dion comforts Vim.

"You should have realized it long ago." Connect Edo.

"I'm sober. Don't think he's this far."

Vim takes his best friend to lunch. Vim invites, Vim will pay. The three entered an exclusive dining venue. Each2 ordered a lunch that was overdue from his time.

"You need to be careful of one more thing."

"What's that?" Vim asked Edo.

"Wheel. It's not impossible that he's being wretched. You have enemies."

"Yes right. It could happen.'

Edo reminded Vim. This friend of his is critical of Vim but very useful.

"Yes Di. I need your help. Please find a job for Aurora ."

"Vim you're starting to pay attention apparently." Dion smiled and turned towards Edo. A smile from Edo.

"It's not. I just want him out of my place."

"so. Okay. Wait information. I hope there's an empty table for him."

Then Vim was frank about Laras not being at home since yesterday. Dion and Edo were good listeners. It's common for them to exchange stories about their households with a deal only they know.

...🍃🍃🍃...

"Why are you here???"

Vim frowned and stared in surprise at Aurora. He had just entered his study after coming from the meeting room. Aurora was there first.

"Please Vim. I brought this for you. Eat it."

Aurora placed the items she brought on the sofa table. Vim looked suspiciously at the food. Food in a box and paper bag.

"I've eaten. Thank ye. You can come out."

"I'm going out. Can't you be a little friendly to me, Vim."

Aurora looked expectantly. I hope Vim will open his heart again.

"can't. You don't have to take care of me anymore. Take the food with you."

Aurora took a deep breath. Vim becomes haughty in front of Aurora. Three years of not being together makes Vim change in Aurora's eyes. It's hard to persuade Vim now.

"Vim you're really mad at me."

"There's no place for a traitor in my heart."

Aurora. Feeling her heart ache hearing Vim's words just now.

"It's not all my will Vim."

"Because it has happened Aurora and let it all pass. I don't have any feelings for you."

"Vim.give me a chance."

"There's no way Aurora. I have the Barrel now."

"You love her?"

"Very. Not replaced by anyone."

Aurora's tears began to melt. Closed Vim's heart to him. Vim did not look at Aurora. His compassion was exhausted for the woman.

"alright. I'm down Vim. Good job."

Aurora finally left the room after wiping her tears with a tissue. Keep hoping that Vim's heart will turn to him.

Vim calls Joel the secretary.

"Take the food for you."

"Good sir."

Joel carried the paper bag containing the food out. He gave to other staff so that food is not wasted. Although the staff asked each other questions and made their own conclusions, the food was consumed without any leftovers.
