Not the Substitute Girl
Impasse

As he walked into the Star Jewerly lobby, a woman with a bold make up appearance was already waiting for Alea. The girl asked Orion, had Sera met Xia Lin before. The man had said never, so it was up to Alea to behave how towards Xia Lin.

As Alea and Xia Lin looked up, Alea could feel that the woman was underestimating her. So Alea would no longer hesitate to show her fangs. Alea did not like to be humbled.

They walked into the meeting room. There he saw Xuan and An who were already preparing.

"Well, you work surrounded by handsome men."

Alea clenched her hands, knowing that Xia Lin was insinuating her. "Yes, besides being able to add mood, they are more efficient than our complicated race."

The three men looked at each other, didn't Alea slightly underestimate them. Although they knew, Alea's reply was to reply to Xia Lin's insinuation that considered Alea cheap.

Xia Lin was annoyed by Alea's response. He has long targeted Vano to be one of his studio partners. But Vano always refused. The loyalty of Vano to SJ is very high. What else in added Alea was now there. Playing the role of Sera, making Vano more reluctant to accept Xia Lin's offer.

"Just go ahead then. We'd like to file a protest about your design that's the same as my sister's office's."

Alea and Orion looked at each other. This matter alone has not been resolved, now comes another accusation of plagiarism. The two sat down together. With Alea starting to see the design of Pearl Jewerly's jewelry. Comparing it to Vano's design.

One code from Orion made Alea understand. "We'll discuss this with our team. Next week we'll give you an answer."

Xia Lin pulled the tip of her lips. His plan to shake Alea who replaced Sera would work. Star Jewerly will be rocked with the most sensitive issue in the world of design, plagiarism.

Alea directly threw a photo of the jewelry from Pearl Jewerly. The girl's mood was destroyed instantly. Atika, her private secretary came in to bring a cup of tea for Alea. By Orion's orders of course.

Alea let Atika put the tea on the table. Afterwards the girl placed her head on the back of the sofa. Just a day into the office, Alea had already been hit with two major problems. It seems Alea's opinion of how good it is to be rich is about to change. The rich man is not as easy as he thinks. From today he will stay at the office.

"The deadline is next week. If we can't find a solution to this problem, they can sue us."

"I know." Alea judes. Alea studied art, he knew plagiarism and the consequences if they imitated the work of others. Feeling neglected Orion starts to get upset. The man had wanted to beat Xuan up, for daring to lie to him about SJ's assets which he had already accessed. But seeing Alea's behavior, the man recalled Alea's talk about working with a handsome man can raise the mood.

"You said working with a guy can elevate the mood. Whatchu mean?" Orion asked Alea who was still closing her eyes. Alea's appearance was now more and more seductive. Orion did polish Alea before entering the Athaya family home. The man was quite surprised when he found Alea beautiful after being made over.

"Be quiet, I'm thinking about how to handle that bank loan." Alea answered softly.

"Need help?"

Alea opened her eyes when she heard Orion's voice so close to her. "What are you doing?" The girl was surprised that Orion was already on top of her body, using her two hands as a pedestal, by placing it on the right left of Alea's body.

"I'm just wondering at you. Whether you're a woman or not, why be so brave to us, men."

The two eyes looked at each other. Orion with a curious look began to look at Alea. While Alea with a view did not understand the man's words.

"What the hell?" Alea pushed Orion's body aside, then walked to the connecting door. Where his work space is. Before entering his room. Orion had already pulled Alea's hand and squeezed Alea's body against the wall. Without hesitation, the man kissed Alea.

Alea's eyes were rounded, feeling Orion's lips instantly smear his lips. Alea was instantly confused by Orion's attitude. What the hell does it want. In front of him so cold and fierce, not merciful, but look now. The man casually took his first kiss.

"Suck!" Alea cursed after successfully divorcing Orion's kiss. While Orion grinned triumphantly.

"Is that your first kiss?" ask Orion.

"Why them? Gelud again?" ask An who is super chatty.

"For a long time they could be bucin." Sambar Xuan's. The man spoke without distracting himself from the screen of the square object he was abducting.

Alea's own workspace is a fairly large room. Places with white combined with black and gray in the selection of furniture. The place was equipped with a comfortable sofa with thick carpet. Also a set of tables and chairs for the guests who wanted to discuss something with Alea.

Without heeding the intimidating look from Orion, Alea started to turn on her laptop. As per her agreement, a year into Sera, Alea had to do whatever it took to keep Sera's. While Orion, was now staring intently at Alea.

An approached Alea, handing over the asset report to be used as collateral while pleading for an extension. Because the loan was originally a 1.5-year term just due. Why only one year the bank has asked for repayment. This is of particular concern to Orion.

Alea began to flip the paper that began to spread on her desk. His eyes focused on his laptop screen. His hands were swiftly marking the paper on which his assets could be used. One end of Orion's lips is attracted. Alea was more agile than Sera. The personality of this girl is also stronger. Alea, definitely more resilient than Sera. Orion's mind is still observing Sia's motion.

On the other hand, a man was talking to a pair of men and women. The three of them seemed satisfied with the various problems that attacked Star Jewerly. The man seemed to hate the Athaya family. Even with the girl. Nearly fifteen years both cheated the big family. It was a wonder that none of the Athaya family members were aware of the two men's behavior.

"I'm sure I killed Sera. But I wonder why Orion could bring Sera home."

"Are you sure of what you said?" The man nodded confidently. The three looked at each other. Until the same thought goes into their minds. "Orion must have found Sera's doppelganger." Exclaimed the woman.

"It's fascinating. I thought after Felix's death, the old man would give up. And hand SJ over to us. In fact, he chose to bring his favorite grandson to meet his death."

The three laughed happily. "But Orion is definitely not an easy person to deal with. The background is not clear. Alexander's title is only embedded in his name without any confirmation from the conglomerate's family."

"Do you suspect anything?"

"I don't think Orion is John Alexander's son."

"Adoptions? But how can he get full rights over AL Group?"

"It's still a question mark."

The three went back silent. More than fifteen years of grudges, it does not make the three feel bored to continue to look for ways to destabilize the Athaya family.

"You caused our son to die. Therefore we will not stop until the descendants of Athaya are exhausted. There's just a break-even word between us."
