Not the Substitute Girl
Fall off

The car door opened, and Orion immediately greeted Alea. Back Alea's brain was trying to remember Sera's office plan. The girl sighed then followed Orion's steps, entering the large office. "The board of directors wants to meet." Orion said briefly as they entered the elevator.

That means they will go straight to the meeting room. Alea's head was again filled with several reports that Sera had made and planned for Star Jewerly.

"Does this have anything to do with my beloved cousin?"

Orion pulled one corner of his lips. Alea is good at reading conditions. Darrel wanted the position of CEO of Star Jewerly. Though Beni has given other companies to Darrel manage. But because the value of Star Jewerly is more expensive than Star Constraction, then Darrel insisted on wanting the jewelry company.

Not getting a rebuttal from Orion, means his conjecture is right. Alea sighed again. This time his head was remembering the data of the members of the board of directors.

"We'll see how he deals with this. Did you tell him to leave?" an old man asked Darrell. Sera's cousin nodded. A satisfied smile was engraved on Darrel's lips. He thought this time it would kick Alea out of there.

Before long the door opened, the whispers stopped. Alea entered accompanied by Orion and Axa and An. Everyone was naturally surprised to see Orion who was by Alea's side.

"From now on, Mr. Orion Harasya will be my partner in managing this office."

The kasak kusuk was heard again. Especially the guy next to Darrel. Highlight Orion's eyes sharply looked at the man sitting with Darrel. At the other end, Xuan works on analyzing Darrel's colleague's face.

"Anton Darmawan, he's laundering money from the sale of Star Jewerly's assets."

Orion pulled the corner of his lips. "Find proof. We'll get rid of them one by one." The sizzle of Orion. Xuan immediately did his job.

In front of Orion, one file was already in Alea's hands. Alea's face instantly turned irritated. A little bit he began to feel the situation, if at home or in the office, many people hated Sera and wanted to take down the girl.

"Deadline the day after tomorrow. You have two days to solve this problem." A councilman spoke to Alea.

Alea stared intently at the man. "The Wood of Aksara." Alea vividly remembered the man's face as well as all his profile and foul behavior.

"You can handle it?" Darrel said half ridicule.

"Why should I handle it alone. This loan was given a year ago, and I wasn't here at the time. You should be the ones looking for the solution. Aren't you the ones who spent the loan? Why now is telling me to find a way to get him back. I didn't touch the money a penny."

This time both Orion and An as well Axa was surprised by Alea's reaction. "Truly brave." That's what Orion thinks. This girl was much different from Sera. Alea has an ambitious side to her. One side that made Alea so confident and courageous in taking action and speech.

The board members fell silent. It is not surprising that their new CEO can turn things around.

"What if I settle this by taking back your assets, which you've already acquired using these borrowed funds."

"You're accusing us of corruption?" ask Bayu Aksara.

"You want proof? I'll give you." Alea advanced her body, challenging Bayu Aksara who instantly dragged a look at how powerful Alea's dominance in that place was.

Some people who feel like they have done nothing wrong, smile. They think a new era of leadership has come. The time they expected would be better than yesterday.

"Lusa.if I can finish this. Everyone involved in this, I'll get rid of it."

****

"You're too brave Alea!" Orion pulled Alea's shoulder, until the girl turned around.

"Isn't your job to help me. Then help me now."

"You think I'm your maid....."

"Hey..can't fight him on pending first. The finance manager ran away. It looks like he's carrying a list of assets of this company. So we're not gonna find the asset, and we can't sell it." Xuan interrupts Orion and Alea's argument.

The two immediately shot out, after Orion contacted Axa. "If the show cusses, compact." Xuan exclaimed back at his laptop. But the man's attention was turned towards the door.

"Why are you coming? In there!"

"No! You think after strangling me last night, I'm gonna be scared of you. No, no." Alea Ledek.

Orion gawked at Alea's reply. This girl was not inedible at all. In the front seat, Axa frowned hearing Alea mention Orion strangling him last night. Orion is temperamental. Lured a little, the man's anger could explode. And ordinary physical actions are Orion's target.

"Road!" Alea's words jolted Axa's consciousness. Orion rushed into the car. Before long, the car was on the highway. Orion and Axa had always been connected to Xuan. The man was monitoring the financial manager's movements.

"They feed others."

Orion glanced at Alea who was looking towards the front. The man was long curious. The spicy mouth of Alea would be as sweet as the taste of her lips.More the girl was like placing a fortress around her. As much as possible to resist the charm of Orion.

Alea thought for a night, he was originally aiming to conquer Orion, but after the man strangled him. Alea thought again about that intention. Looking at Sera's assets, it wasn't any easier for her to maintain her role as Sera. He would start collecting money, from the loopholes he could see. Even though Orion will pay him every month. If there is a chance, why not.

"The car is in front." Axa gave the info, in front of them a colored car seemed to be speeding. "Flight the car," Orion ordered.

Axa nodded, then stepped on the gas pedal. Ciiiiiittt, the two cars' brakes were squeaking loudly. The driver of the black car looked at Alea who resembled Sera. The man started to get scared, the next second the man got out of his car.

"Stop you, asshole! Dare to steal from Sera!"

"Alea!!!" Orion growled furiously. Before long, Orion and Axa followed Alea. The chase happens. Alea was clearly in distress, running with heels ten inches. The girl several times cursed Sera's shoes which were all high heels.

"I'm not that short, Brother." Alea again grumbled.

In front of him, the finance manager kept running, looking at Alea whom he thought Sera was chasing after him. "Give me that!" Pinta Alea after successfully cornering the man on the rooftop of the building. Alea's breath was panting. Remember, the last time he was maratooned was when he was almost late to his campus.

The man smirked, it turned out that only a woman was chasing him. For him Alea would not be able to fight against him.

"He...little girl, go there! Don't bother me."

"I'll leave if you give me that bag."

Alea Pinta. Instead of being afraid, the financial manager instead walked over to Alea. A knife was in the man's hand. Alea retreated her steps. Moreover, the man was so good at playing the knife in his hand.

"You scared?"

Alea retreated a step, the man before her seemed to be smiling in satisfaction. Behind Alea was a staircase. A single push would make Alea fall, and the obstruction could be removed. Thought the man, getting closer to Alea.

"You...what do you want?" asked Alea worriedly.

"Send you to hell!" In the next instant, the man pushed Alea's body towards the stairs. Alea was startled, feeling the footing on her feet no longer exist.

"I'm falling," said Alea.
