"But I'm still upset, Mom, because you met your ex" Aretha complained.
"It's okay" David replied as if he didn't care.
"Kok, is it okay?" gerutu Aretha.
"And I'm glad that you're jealous" replied David casually.
"Ish, suck! Never mind, I'm gonna take a shower!" agitated Aretha quickly got out of bed, then went out of the room to her room. Meanwhile, David only chuckles at the behavior of the wife who always looks adorable, when angry or upset.
Two hours passed, Aretha and David had just finished breakfast. David seemed to gulp half a glass of water in one sip, then put the glass back on the table, right next to him.
"Honey, if you want to go out, just use the car in the garage," said David suddenly. Of course it makes Aretha a little excited.
"I can drive myself, Mommy?" aretha asked excitedly while grinning happily.
"Just kid! Can't!" sergeant David did not give permission.
"Then?" ask Aretha a little disappointed. Freely also prepared a car if not allowed to drive it, moreover there is no private driver, he thought.
"There is Mr. Arman who will take you later, if there is a need," explained David.
"Sir Arman? New driver?" ask Aretha astonished.
"Hm ...."
"All right."

Three hours later.
David had been in the office, right in his private room. He seemed busy signing some of the report files provided by several employees from each division. However, his activities stalled on a report from the finance division. Instantly his jaw hardened, as if harboring anger.
The reports he received were illogical, he said. In fact, the excess has reached 50% of the budget that should be spent. If it is allowed to continue, it can bankrupt the company.
David immediately pressed the phone button, then called for someone to come into his room. I don't know who that is.
Soon, a tall, slim, beautiful and very fashionable woman entered the room, after David gave her permission.
The woman sat in the chair in front of David's desk, and David showed the report. The woman looked to check it out. However, it did not last long, as if he had also known about it.
They talked long enough. It was David who was more active. Meanwhile, the woman just looked carefully. Every now and then the woman nodded her head as if she understood what David was telling her.
I don't know what they were talking about at the time. Clearly, David looked very serious about what he was telling the woman.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, they immediately ended their conversation. The woman came out of David's room. Meanwhile, David seemed to check some other reports that he had not been able to finish.
***
Elsewhere, right in front of a property company building, which is none other than Calder City Development, a man in a black suit with shiny black pantofel shoes, seen descending from a Mercedes Benz-CLS Class car in black.
Not only handsome and dashing, but also dignified. He is the son of the owner of the company, who is one of the heirs of the company he currently manages. Who else if not Richard Calder.
With a definite step, the man walked into the building, where his company operated. From the front lobby, some people greeted him with respect. Yeah, who doesn't know him, a young CEO leading the company. In fact, all who worked there knew him, even though he himself did not know them one by one.
His sturdy body always hypnotizes the women who see it. In fact, they are none other than his subordinates in the office. Naturally their pupils always widened, when looking at the handsome face of the superior. Who would not be fascinated by all that the man had.
Already handsome, well-established, derivative of the sultan, kind and not arrogant anyway, less what else try? Do they not drool, when faced with such a man? What's more, they know that the boss is still single, the more hopeful they are, one day they can be his life companion, even though they know that it is just a dream.
Richard was seen entering a private elevator whose door had just opened wide. It looks ready inside. However, when the door was about to close automatically, a hand held it back, and a woman stood with a bouquet of red roses she carried, right in front of Richard.
The woman was a little confused, then smiled at Richard. However, Richard only raised next to his brows, feeling astonished. Even more surprising, when the woman entered the elevator without permission, let alone mince words. Richard furrowed his forehead, finding the oddity in the morning.
Didn't he know that this elevator was reserved for company leaders? How strange this woman is!
Richard didn't really want to bother about it. He did not want to comment or make a protest to foreign women who dared to enter his private area. Let it be, he thought.
The elevator doors closed and began to lead them to the floor. Richard stood in front. After all, the woman was behind him.
The woman looked at the man on his back, nonstop.
Silent
There was no sound in the elevator. Just a while in the elevator, suddenly the elevator stopped and the electricity died, making things dark inside, without any light.
It really surprised them. Moreover, that woman who seemed to have a fear of the dark. With Reflect he hugged Richard's body from behind, suddenly making Richard buyak shocked. How could he get a hug from such a strange woman, he thought.
What the fuck? Why is he hugging me?
"Ehem .. ahem ...." Richard cleared his throat violently, as a code for the woman to take off her embrace.
The woman immediately let go of her embrace, when she realized that. However, he did not keep his body away from Richard.
"Ma-sorry, sa-i reflect. I'm afraid of the dark" said the woman, trembling slightly, between nervousness and fear.
"Ck!" Richard simply clucked in annoyance, then reached into his pants pocket to retrieve his smartphone.
Richard turned on the flashlight on the phone. It was obvious that the woman was very frightened. Yes, maybe the woman did have nyctophobia. Richard immediately contacted the receptionist for help, so that the problem was resolved.
Richard didn't turn off his phone before the power came back on. He glanced at the woman. The woman seemed to bend her neck, with her body still visibly trembling. Richard was confused as to what to do. He felt a little sorry for the woman. However, he also felt annoyed, for whatever reason, he still did not accept being hugged carelessly by women.
After a few minutes, the electricity had re-ignited, making the two able to breathe a sigh of relief. The woman looked to rub her chest. Meanwhile, Richard only snorted in annoyance.
The foreign woman seemed to bow her head, as she realized Richard's annoyance.
The elevator stopped, the door was wide open. Richard walked out first, then immediately entered his room which was exactly one meter in front of the elevator door. Meanwhile, the woman looked confused to find the room, in front of which there was a door of the room that read CEO room.
In the midst of her confusion, the woman wanted to ask the man who had been in the elevator with her. However, it was a pity that Richard had first entered his room. In fact, he shut the door.
"It looks like I got the elevator wrong" the woman muttered.
