BSM Chapter. 7
“I give you a little leak, maybe this can help you,” said Samsul.
Theo folds his forehead. Instinct refuses, but the other side of instinct is not able to waste this opportunity.
“Say Antonio was once involved in a scandal with the wife of an official. The man often uses duplicates if it is in a public place,” Samsul continued. Which makes Theo even more curious.
“Where, how?” Theo's forehead folded in hearing Samsul's speech. He still doesn't understand.
“I mean Mr Samsul, he has a twin brother?” he's getting curious. During his search this was the latest info about the man.
Immediately answering Theo's question, Samsul instead showed Theo his laptop screen after fiddling with it for a while. Samsul showed a photograph of a man in black glasses, in a neat suit, taken from the side. Theo looked at the photo carefully.
“Try you pay attention to this man well,” said Samsul while pointing at the photo on his laptop screen.
“I mean Mr Samsul this man is his twin brother Antonio?” ask Theo.
“Not a twin brother, but some kind of stunt double. Antonio was very reluctant to appear in front of the media camera. That's why he often uses stunt doubles. Several times this man was found out of the AFECTO office with his assistant. Said this guy was Antonio.”
“Maybe it's true he's Antonio. After all why he used a stunt double just to trick reporters. What if he's ugly. So he was reluctant to show his form in public.”
“Well, there it is. But make no mistake. He said he was handsome, cross-faced. But try you notice the man in this photo is fine.”
Theo sharpened his eyesight, examining the man's face which was only visible to the side. There is nothing wrong with the face of the man in the photo. Called handsome no, said ugly also not. An indigenous face if carefully examined.
Theo frowned, then he nodded. As if he had just realized something.
“Not him blaster. But kok ..” Theo felt strange with the photo of the native-faced man who was rumored to be Antonio Gonzales. Antonio is of Mexican descent and has a cross-faced face. It was so inversely proportional to the photo.
“This photo was caught on paparazzi camera yesterday when Antonio came out of his office. Your job is to find out about Antonio. If you can, you should bring Antonio to the public. Many interested media wanted to expose the news about the man. But the man, for some reason he was reluctant to show himself. It seemed that the man had indeed deliberately made the media curious about him.
“Well, therefore, if you manage to do this task, your salary goes up twice plus the bonus triples. But do not forget, if you can, along with the scandals you expose to the media. How?”
Theo took a long breath. He thought for a moment. Can he finish his job, while he was out of town for a week yesterday he barely got any information about Antonio. Apparently the man was very good at avoiding journalists. Is it true that the man used a stunt double? It is only fitting that journalists have trouble getting valid information about him.
“I don't promise, Mr. Samsul. But I will try first,” Theo said in the end.
Samsul smiled widely. He was happy to get his wish. Only by utilizing Theo, he could finish what had been his previous agreement with the other party.

Single-handedly delivering customer-order cakes has often done Laura. This job he used to do with or without Rere's help.
When she finished delivering orders to her customers, Laura turned her car towards Star TV, where Theo worked.
Once in front of the Star TV building, not even Laura had time to park the car, in the distance she saw Theo walking with a woman while holding her hand towards the black Innova parked. Because all Laura saw was the woman's back, so Laura didn't recognize who was with Theo.
A moment later, the black Innova was seen starting to move out of the Star TV parking lot. Before the car disappears from Laura's sight, Laura quickly picks up her phone and starts contacting Theo.
Second call, ending with a missed call. Laura's heart started to worry. His heart was beating indeterminate. All sorts of suspicions began to seduce his mind. Don't-don't ...
Ah, no!
There's no way Theo is like that.
Laura is still trying to think positively. All those bad thoughts were coming from his head when Theo's third call answered.
“I'm in front of your office now. I want to give my cake to you,” Laura said as soon as her phone was connected.
“Sorry, Laura. I'm not in the office right now. I have important business. I have to cover the news assigned by Mr. Samsul. My job to find out about Antonio is not done. You understand right?” Such was Theo's reply heard on the other end of the phone.
“Ka-you go alone?” Laura was trembling to ask that. He is still curious even though he can muffle the various bad thoughts. His heart is still beating. There's no way Theo could ever wish for it. Maybe the woman was his co-worker.
“I'm with Feli. You know he's new. Mr. Samsul pointed at me to guide him.”
Laura breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she heard Theo's reply. He was grateful Theo was still telling him the truth. Apparently the woman who was with Theo was Feli. And fortunately Laura already knew Feli, even though she did not know Feli well. But at least, Feli is Theo's co-worker.
On the way back to the store, the shadow of Theo holding Feli's hand somehow flashed in his eye peluk. Though Feli is only a colleague of Theo, but still like there is a different taste in his chest. The feeling disturbed him, even slightly stealing his concentration on the streets.
Laura's daydreams fell out for a moment when a loud sound was heard. His reflexes also stepped on the brake pedal. Laura's body stumbled on the steering wheel because she braked suddenly.
“Oh my god. Woe to me.” Laura panicked when she saw a black Pajero Sport in front of her car. He became frightened when the Pajero driver came down and approached his car.
A man in a neat suit with a misty hair stood next to the car and knocked on Laura's car window.
Laura shivering. Apparently he just hit someone else's car. Suddenly the atmosphere turned gripping because the fear of infiltrating quickly mastered it. Laura was confused as to what to do. He was afraid that the man would do something bad to him.
Tok tok tok tok
The man knocked on Laura's car window.
“Come down.” The man said while tapping on the car window.
Laura bit her lips. He was afraid to face this man alone. But how else. As a result of the negligence of the car in front of him it suffered damage. If seen it is not very severe. But still he has to be responsible.
“Come down.” The man said back.
Finally with trembling hands, Laura lowered the window glass. His face grimaced fearfully looking at the ferocious-looking man.
“Sorry, Sir. Im sorry. I accidentally,” Laura said as she clenched both hands in front of her face.
“You must apologize to my boss. Because of you, my boss was late for an important meeting. Come, down.” The man snaps.
“I-iya, Sir. I'm down. But be patient, sir. Don't grumpy. I will be in charge.” There was no other choice for Laura than to obey the man if she did not want the problem to grow longer.
