It's Not My fault
Chapters. 6
BSM Chapter. 6
“Sorry yes I am late,” Laura said when she arrived at LaRisa Bakery. Quickly he put on the apron he picked up hanging on the corner of the wall after putting his bag on the small table.
“It's okay. It's natural that you're late. How was last night? Honeymoon is smooth?” Rere who had already done Laura's work was partly smiling knots glancing at Laura. She understood and understood why Laura was late. Because Laura's husband just came home from out of town yesterday. Of course, they need to spend time together. Not to mention Laura always complained about the absence of a momongan in her household. As a friend, Rere just wanted to give Laura a chance.
Laura simply smiled in response. There was no way he would tell Rere the truth if he failed to get quality time with Theo. The night ended in disappointment.
“I pray that God will give you the best. May the Lord grant your wishes immediately,” said Rere.
“Amins. Thanks ya?”
Rere smiling. Then continue his work mixing the dough using a hand mixer. While Laura prepared another ingredient for an order of six tart cakes.
“Oh yes, today let me just take the order.” Laura offered. Because usually they go both using a matik scooter or using Rere's car. But this time, Laura wanted to deliver the order herself. Because the plan he wants to visit Theo briefly in his office. He wanted to bring Theo his cake to show his attention.
“You sure you can do it yourself?”
“Convinced. Just this time I ordered alone?”
“Ya already, but use my car only. That's a lot of his orders. Later you will have trouble.”
“Iya.”
Laura and Theo don't live on treasure. Their lives are simple. But even so, Laura was feeling well. Laura was even happy with her life at this time. If you remember what her life was like, Laura is already very grateful.
In the past, Laura was just a child from a poor family. So to connect life and to finance his school, Laura must help both parents scavenge fortune. Every after school, Laura would go to sell her mother's cake at the red light crossroads.
Laura's life became more difficult when both her parents died in the adjacent period due to severe illness. So Laura had to bash the bones alone by taking many part-time jobs just to connect with life.
Accidentally meeting Theo while Laura works at a minimarket, fosters Theo's interest early in the encounter. When Laura helped pay for Theo's bill, she forgot to bring her wallet. Incidentally, at that time Laura was a cashier in the minimarket.
It was Laura's first meeting with Theo. But somehow Laura felt as if she had known Theo for a long time, so Laura put her trust in Theo. Laura believed Theo was a good young man.
Starting from the first meeting, Theo so often stop by the minimarket where Laura works. I don't want to buy anything just to meet Laura.
As time passed, Laura and Theo grew closer. The closeness between them then grows the seeds of love. Until finally from that closeness, they both decided to continue their relationship to a more serious level. It is in the marriage rope.

Theo knocked on the door when he got to the front of the leader's room !redaction.
“Log.” Sounds authentic from within.
Theo opened the door slowly. It appeared that a thick-bodied middle-aged man was opening sheet by sheet a report in front of him.
“Good morning, sir,” greet Theo while taking a seat in front of the editor-in-chief's desk without waiting to be invited.
“Where, Theo? Have you successfully interviewed Antonio?” asked Samsul, the editor-in-chief, without taking his eyes off the report in hand.
“How are you anyway. Just looking for one person you're not a dick. Our program this time may be canceled. Do you know what the risk is? The producer can be angry. You want your career to be the bet?”
The same threat that Theo often hears from Samsul's mouth. If this is the case, Theo can do what else.
“Antonio is most wanted, most desired by various media. Imagine, AFECTO used to be just a small shop that supplies goods from local artisans. Since Antonio joined, AFECTO has begun to change. Thanks to his ideas AFECTO rapidly developed into what it is today.”
“But why should he? Why not someone else, who is easier to find.”
“This order comes down directly from the producer. So if you want to protest, please go to the producer directly.”
Theo sighed again. He could do nothing but obey orders. If not, his career and job will be a bet.
“Listen, Theo. You will get a big bonus if you can interview Antonio. Especially if you can bring Antonio to our TV station to broadcast live interviews in our Business Talk program.”
“Why isn't the live producer inviting her? Why should I, sir. I'm just a reporter.”
“Well, that's the problem.” Samsul closed the report in his hand. Then lay down your back. But then he leaned in, putting on a serious face looking at Theo.
Theo frowned at the serious look of his superior. Curiosity suddenly seduced his mind. Does his boss know more about Antonio than he does. Hours of wasted time were spent just searching for information about Antonio Gonzales. At the end of the day, he gets nothing.
Antonio seemed to be closing himself out of the media spotlight. Both about his bio and his personal life. Every time he searches for photos of Antonio in an internet search engine, only photos appear of Raul Gonzales, Antonio's father.
“We have sent two invitations to AFECTO. Twice it was also our invitation was rejected,” Samsul said.
“Maybe he doesn't want his life exposed by the media. We cannot force either. We should respect people's privacy. What's so great about Antonio?” Theo was a little upset as well why it had to be Antonio who guest starred in their TV program. Why is it that no one else can appreciate the media more than Antonio.
“That's him. Antonio is a very influential person in the AFECTO Group. Since he succeeded his father, AFECTO is growing rapidly and is almost ruling the market all over the world.”
“Ah, time sih.”
“I will give you a triple bonus if you can cover Antonio's personal life. About how her day was, who her boyfriend was ... Anyway your salary goes up if you manage to cover about Antonio. Especially if until Antonio wants to be a guest star in our TV program this time.”
“Why is the task getting harder. Why not someone else. There are still many young business people who are better than that man.”
“What you already know ... Reportedly the man likes to play girls. He has been involved in many scandals with beautiful women in every city he lived in. But unfortunately, it was never exposed by the media.
”Well, if you can cover his life, including his scandals, it could be the most actual, most wanted news. And our TV rating will definitely skyrocket.”
“So that means we're going to destroy people's reputations? This seems to have deviated from the theme of our TV program. Is Mr Samsul aware of what Mr Samsul just said? It could also destroy the reputation of AFECTO sir. Nope, no. I don't want.” Theo refused hard. It is completely contrary to its principle.
Theo's job is to look for news from reliable sources. Theo was happy to cover the news about someone if it concerned his achievements alone. Besides, Theo is not interested.
“Theo Process. Remember, a triple bonus plus a raise. How?” Samsul tries to seduce, utilizing Theo's expertise in extracting information to his advantage.
Theo seemed to be thinking hard. Between following instincts or against principles that he has made himself. The rewards offered are no joke. Who will not be tempted.
“I give you a little leak, maybe this can help you,” said Samsul.
