DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
44. See the picture

Cean stared at Marko's arrival this morning with a cold look. He was upset, I don't know where his assistant has been for the past 2 days. When Cean called, Marko always reasoned to be looking for a model to replace Jelita.

"Where?" cean asked flatly at the bespectacled man.

Marko grinned in a cool style. "What?" the question is, whether it does not understand the meaning of Cean or just act bo doh.

"Would you be able to cast for a new BA candidate yet?" Cean turned the lazy eyeball then.

"Oh that ..." Marko chuckled softly. "May, dong!" the answer seemed to be jumawa.

Cean hissed, then moved to roll up his shirt arm very calmly.

"If there is already a cast, immediately set when the selection time is the most suitable."

Convinced that Cean is no longer angry with him, then Marko said about the purpose of his arrival to Cean's room at this time.

"There is no need for an election, because it has been chosen the most suitable to replace Jelita."

Cean thinned his lips, he folded his hands on his chest and looked at Marko with a look of disbelief.

"You're stepping over me in this brand ambassador election thing?"

"Of course I mean not so."

"Then? How can you decide on a BA candidate alone without my consent."

Marko scratched his temple which did not feel itchy at all.

"I've chosen the one that I think is the best." Marko hurriedly continued the sentence before Cean interrupted him. "But he has not signed a contract yet. If you disagree with this BA candidate, we can find another candidate" he explained.

Cean rubbed his own face. "Ah, it's up to you, you're the boss here" he said.

Marko grimacing keki. "Sorry, I don't mean it. I didn't mean to step on you, Cean," he said.

"I'm also confused since when the rules changed this way."

Marko held two V-shaped fingers in front of Cean as a form of peace.

"Please, you see the BA candidate first, we had a photo test yesterday. I guarantee you'll agree to our choice."

"We?" reset Cean.

"Yes, me and Dewi already clop with this BA candidate. Zain and the others are okay. It's a new face. Fresh. I'm sure you won't be disappointed, Cean. She's different from Jelita."

"Just make your decision without my consent" Cean said.

"I explained it earlier. He hasn't signed the contract, so ..all decisions remain in your hands."

Cean snorted softly, before long, his hand stretched out in front of Marko's face. "Where?" tanyakanya.

"What?" This time Marko really did not understand what was asked by Cean.

"You said yesterday you had a photo test, I want to see the results" he concluded.

"Oh that, berent ..." Marko then looked for the presence of a cellphone in the pocket of the material pants he was wearing, then pressed the flat object to look for a picture.

Cean waited impatiently. He wanted to know how Marko and his team's choice was to move without involving him in that matter.

"Now," said Marko while proffering an existing phone photos from yesterday's photo shoot. Zain had indeed sent the master file containing the photo to him.

Cean took Marko's phone, looking at photos of the new BA candidate who would soon be working with his company.

Looking at the photo of the posing girl, Cean's eyelids instantly widened with a look of disbelief. It's Neska?

Second, two seconds, three seconds. Cean thinks he's hallucinating right now. Maybe the face of this model does look like Neska, or this is an effect because she thinks too often about the same girl for the past two years.

"Where?" marko asked, he saw a very clear expression of Cean shock. Marko's smile immediately rose immediately.

"Where did you meet this girl?"

"On earth, you know," said Marko, who is very annoying in the hearing sense of Cean.

Cean instantly moves reflexes, he pulls Marko's shirt collar. "Serious answer! I'm not in the mood to play!" said firmly.

Marko himself confused, his intention was only to give Cean so that the young man did not continue to be serious every day. Unfortunately, the answer sparked Cean's anger.

"Sorry, I met him in-"

"Forget over! I want to meet this model as soon as possible. Set the time and if possible in these two days as well. If you need to, right now!" cean's word made Marko sigh wholeheartedly.

Cean wants to meet the model figure in Marko's phone to prove that he is not just fantasizing if the girl is the same person as the girl who always comes to mind.

"No!"

Marko turned his head again before he could press the door knob.

Marko scratched his head, in fact he did not want to be honest with Cean because his initial intention was to make a surprise for the young man.

However, because Cean is in a bad mood that Marko cannot add to the lie, so inevitably he must answer Cean's question honestly.

When Marko's mouth was half open to mention Neska's name, at the same time - Cean's phone also rang, until finally Cean immediately inched away to receive the important call.

"Hallo?"

Cean left Marko alone in his room.

Cean finally did not know the name of the model whose picture Marko had shown him earlier.

Marko clucked his tongue as soon as Cean left. "dance, Cean. It's most true that you will see who our new BA is. Just be careful if you refuse him," he muttered.

Shortly after, Marko decided to leave the room because he felt there was no need anymore.

...***...

"So, Saturday tomorrow you're going to Indonesia?" Sheila finds Neska telling her that she has accepted Marko's job offer.

Neska also told Sheila about the photo shoot she had done with Marko and his crew.

"Huum." Neska nodded slowly. "Where do you think?" tanyanya.

"Yes, nice, dong. I'm really smart, though."

"But Marko's sister can be trusted, right?"

Sheila cringed inside. "You mean?" tanyanya did not understand.

"Gini deh, you and Brother Marko have known how long?"

"Me?" Sheila pointed to herself. "If I had known him not long ago, Brother Marko. But Grey knew him a long time ago" he said.

"Where did Emang Rion know Marko?"

"Sister Marko it's-"

Sheila hurriedly stopped the sentence, she almost told Neska if Marko was Cean's best friend and personal assistant, fortunately, Sheila's brain stimulation worked so quickly that her mouth had braked her words that were almost triggered.

"Whose brother Marko is?" ask Neska again to make sure.

"Ehm, Brother Marko is his upperclassman Grey, if not mistaken." Sheila was a little hesitant with the answer she gave. To be clear, he was making up a lie.

"Sister class? I do not know, tuh .." answered Neska. While attending the same high school as Rion-they did not have an older classmate named Marko.

"Eh, I mean ... Sister Grade Grey time Junior High," Sheila random error.

"So, how did you just know? Aren't you at the same school as Rion in SMP?"

Checkmate! Sheila could not speak to Neska again this time.

"Yes, I'll go first" Sheila reasoned. "Why the hell, are you doing this? You're afraid and doubtful that Brother Marko will lie to you, is that it?" Sheila tried to shift Neska's question.

"Yes, anyway. I was afraid to arrive in Indonesia I was lied to. What's worse is that I'm employed in a place that doesn't meet my expectations."

"Yesterday you guys had a photo test, right? Why do you still doubt? Kak Marko's team has also come and acquaintance with you. So, why not believe it?"

"I'm just scared, anyway."

Sheila understood the fear Neska felt. Moreover, Neska was a very innocent girl. Surely Neska was afraid of being harbored by Marko later, so Neska wanted to make sure as close and as far as she and Rion knew the man.

"I guarantee Brother Marko is not kidding about his job offer. I'm also sure Brother Marko is a good man and can't possibly knock you out." Sheila looked at Neska fixedly. "But, if you are afraid to fly to Indonesia alone, I want to go back, we both come back here after your business there is finished" he said.

Sheila can say this because she knows Marko can't possibly be careless about doing anything to Neska - when the man finds out that Neska is Cean's target girl.

Neska widened her smile. She held Sheila's hand with an enthusiastic look. "Seriously you want me to go to Jakarta?" tanyanya while shaking Sheila's arm that is still in her grip.

Sheila immediately nodded her head with a confident look.

"Yes, how long have we been there? For a long time, we'd have stayed at my parents' house" Sheila suggested.

"Not long, anyway. Saturday away, most Sunday night back here. Kak Marko said only to meet his superiors, continue to sign the contract, really."

"OKAY. Good, Monday I still have lunch. Ntar finished your business, we go to my parents' house for a minute."

"OKAY. Thanks, Sheil."

"Yes, relax."
