It's Not My fault
Chapters. 8
BSM Chapter. 8
“I'm really sorry, sir. I was not intentionally. I was thinking a lot. Please understand, sir. Really, I was not accidentally.” Laura put her palms together in front of her face while putting on a parched face as an expression of her apology.
The unexpected collision damaged the black Pajero Sport bumper. Laura really didn't know why she could drive. Theo's shadow holding Feli's hand suddenly disturbed his mind. So that it loosens its concentration. As a result, he hit a luxury car. Not to mention Rere's car bumper which also suffered damage although not severe, still he must be responsible.
“I'm thinking a lot, sir. I saw my husband holding hands with another woman. That's why I'm lacking concentration, sir. You know how I feel, right? I'm in trouble, Mr.” Laura was endlessly making excuses, so that the man in front of her understood her situation, then understood. Then in the end forgive and do not prolong the problem.
The man exhaled a long breath while looking at Laura closely. The face that Laura showed was actually pitying. But the question of asking for compensation or not, it is the decision of his superiors.
“I might be able to understand your unease, Miss. But my master? It's not really about compensation. But you've made my master miss a great opportunity in his life. Do you know, my master has an important meeting now. But because of you, my master so late to come to the meeting,” said the man.
“One more time I'm sorry, sir. I promise I will be responsible. Oh yes ..” Laura opened the car door, picked up the bag, then pulled out a business card from inside her purse.
“This is my cake shop business card, sir. You can meet me at this address. I don't have any money yet, sir. But I'll make sure I compensate you for the loss. I promise, Sir. I am the one who breaks the promise. You can keep my promise.” Geez, Laura's words even sound ridiculous so nervous and scared of her.
Hearing Laura's words, the man almost wanted to laugh. The receipt of the business card that Laura offered to him was while holding a smile.
While inside the black Pajero Sport, a handsome man with a cross-faced face was upset waiting for his assistant who was solving problems outside. Many times he glanced at the watch in hand.
The cross-faced man was irritated that a few moments ago he received a call if his important meeting was canceled suddenly just because he was a few minutes late. And the cause is the woman who is dealing with her assistant at this time.
Putting down the windowpanes, the man wore his sunglasses. Then said,
“Edrick, time is up! Quickly solve the problem and just make a deal with the woman. I don't have any more time,” he glanced for a moment at Laura and Edrick, his assistants.
Edrick and Laura were shocked. The reflexes both turned towards the source of the sound. Laura only saw the window glass that was raised again without having seen the man.
“Good, Sir,” said Edrick.
Hearing the word of agreement, Laura swallowed her saliva. His heart was pounding, no matter what agreement the man meant. It was only this time that Laura got into trouble like this. Previously he was safe even though all day back and forth on the streets delivering customer orders.
“Alright, Miss. I'll meet you later. We'll solve this problem when we meet. Oh yeah, don't call me dad. I'm not that old.” Edrick then rushed into the car after pocketing a business card that Laura had given him.
Laura was still standing in her seat watching as the car started to move out of place.
While in the car, Edrick couldn't help but smile at Laura's frightened face.
“Where? Have you solved the problem?” ask the blaster-faced man.
“Actually not yet, Sir. But the woman gave her card. I'll finish it with that girl.”
“Haaah ... Why am I so fucking unlucky today. It's been twice like this. You take me to Kevin's. After that you take this car to the workshop.”
“Cancel. Amanda canceled the meeting just because I was five minutes late. And all this because of that woman.”
Edrick smiled faintly. It's like he's glad his master canceled a meeting with Amanda. Maybe this little accident he considered a gift. Because Laura has helped thwart the meeting between her master and the woman named Amanda. The woman who knew Edrick was already the wife of the man was infatuated with his master. Which indeed has a handsome face.
“Alright, Mr. Ryan. Then we go to Kevin.” Not wanting to respond more, Edrick also increased the speed of the car to get to the destination quickly.
Not how long the black Pajero Sport was reached in a luxury apartment building. The car entered the basement of the apartment, and a man named Ryan got out of the car.
Wearing his sunglasses on, Ryan stepped full of confidence. Riding the elevator, Ryan's destination is the fifth floor, where Kevin's apartment unit is located. Arriving in front of an apartment unit with the number 287, Ryan pressed the doorbell several times. Until finally the door opened. A man with a smile adorned his face, standing in the doorway.
“Hi, Man. How are you?” Kevin greeted enthusiastically as soon as he saw who his guest was that afternoon.
“I'm good, Antonio.”
Kevin laughed when he heard Ryan call him Antonio.
“Ya, yes. The fake Antonio.” Kevin laughed while shaking. The role he has been acting lately feels a little tiring actually. Because it's not easy for him to avoid journalists just for the sake of an alibi. Alibis are deliberately created to distract journalists. While the real Antonio, was enjoying his pleasure.
“Come, please enter Mr. Ryan Antonio Gonzales. We're talking inside.” Kevin tilts, giving Ryan access to his apartment.
“Oh yes. This, look at.” Kevin thrusts a photo to Ryan as soon as they take a seat on the sofa.
“It was a reporter who lately was persistent in finding information about you,” said Kevin.
Ryan, or full name Ryan Antonio Gonzales, frowned at the photo. The reporter's face was like no stranger to him. I think he's met before.
“Name Theo. You should avoid the reporters. Of all the reporters, he's the one who's been the most intense in finding out about you. Looks like he's very interested in your personal life,” Kevin added.
Ryan smiled faintly. Already he guessed, journalists could not be only interested in news about AFECTO alone. His personal life will also be exposed. So he asked Kevin for help to become a duplicate. Well, even though Kevin's face with his face is very much different. But at least, Kevin can trick reporters.
“About the woman, you have got the information?” ask Ryan.
“Except on that one. Sorry, Ryan. I didn't find any information about the woman you admired. The thing is, just a piece of biodata about that woman you don't know. It's impossible to find someone without complete biodata, man. You better forget him. Maybe he's married and has kids.”
Ryan nodded slowly. “ She is my first love.”
“Yes, yes, love monkey. I get that. It's up to you. But as a friend, I suggest, you better find another woman. Women you can make a companion for life. And stop fucking people's wives, man. Remember, the future of AFECTO Group is in your hands.”
Ryan took a slow breath. He leaned back, then took one leg. He folded his hands in front of his chest. While relocating his memories to the past. It was the first time he saw a sweet cookie-seller girl standing under a red light a few years ago.
