Possessive Love
New Client

"Lake in!" aretha shouted to someone out there, when she had just heard a knock on the door in her study.

"Mell?" he said when he realized his private secretary had entered his room.

"Excuse me, ma'am," Melly said respectfully.

"Why, Mell? Has our client arrived yet?" aretha asked directly to guess.

Melly slightly raised her right hand, then stared at the black-colored watch that was coiled around her wrist. "Just five minutes ago, ma'am," she replied.

"All right, I'll be there soon. Please bring my laptop to the meeting room" Aretha said as she rose from her swivel chair.

"I'm ready, ma'am," replied Melly.

"What about some of our product files and examples? Have you prepared too?" ask Aretha.

"I've prepared everything as you asked. Are there any other additions I should prepare as well?" ask Melly to make sure.

"Nothing, if you have prepared it completely in accordance with what I asked. Thank you, Mell. You are truly reliable" replied Aretha.

Aretha immediately invites Melly to meet her client in the meeting room. However, before they entered the room, Aretha suddenly stopped her steps, then turned to face her secretary who was standing next to her.

"Mc ... Mell," called Aretha and looked back, causing Melly to flinch, and braked her feet.

"Yes, Mom, can I help you?" ask Melly.

"That's our client who replaced Mr. Adi what's his name?" ask Aretha to know.

"Oh .. His name is Mr. Fathur, ma'am. Fathur Putra Hutama, he is the biological son of Mr. Adi," replied Melly.

"Oh, so. All right," replied Aretha.

Melly immediately opened the door knob of the room, then invited her superior to enter first. In the room there are already four men and one woman in a beautiful way who has a straight shoulder-length hair that is so beautiful.

"Good afternoon, sorry for the long wait."

The arrival of Aretha became the center of their attention. Among the four men, two of them looked familiar in Aretha's eyes, and he already knew her. Two of them are Mr. Tristan and Erlan, as the board of directors in his company, while the rest are clients of PT. Adi Jaya Hutama's.

At once Aretha's attention was on one of the men sitting between a young woman and another man next to her. He was a little surprised, when he realized the stranger was there. He did not know him, but he was never met arbitrarily with the man.

She's she?

"Morning, Miss Aretha." Erlan's voice made Aretha slightly flinched.

Those who were in the room immediately rose to welcome the arrival of Aretha.

"Include this Mr. Fathur, our new client from PT. Adi Jaya Hutama's. Incidentally he represented Mr. Adi for a meeting today," said Erlan while introducing their new client, because Erlan had already known him.

A smile rose on the face of the man called fathur, and he extended his hand to Aretha. "Include me Fathur, Ms. Aretha," he said.

With hesitation Aretha welcomed the man's hand with a slight stunned, as she suddenly found the man in her office. "I am Aretha" he said.

Whether it was a coincidence or what, he was suddenly reunited with the man he had accidentally met at the bookstore a few days ago.

So, he is the son of Mr Adi? This world is really narrow.

Two of them appeared to do the same, alternately shaking Aretha's hand. The man who was with Fathur named Mario, as the personal secretary of Adi sir who deliberately participated in the event, while the woman next to Fathur named Alya, as the personal secretary of Fathur.

"Please sit down" said Aretha, then landed his body on the chair at the end of the rectangular wooden table. Others seemed to follow to sit back in their seats.

After the introductory event was over, Aretha immediately started the meeting by asking Melly to open the event immediately, then they alternately presented about the company that he was leading at the time, also about the advantages of some products that have been produced by the company.

Aretha explained it in such detail, without giving the slightest gap to things that could interfere with his concentration at that time, making his client feel amazed at what he was explaining. In fact, Fathur did not want to blink his eyes for even a second. For her, Aretha was a very smart woman, so it was only natural that the woman could lead the company well.

"So, how? Is there anything less clear?" aretha asked, when she had finished presenting all the meeting materials at that time.

"All right, Miss Aretha. I think everything is pretty clear, and I'm interested in working with your company" said Fathur, who seemed convinced by what Aretha had just explained. Of course it made Aretha a little stunned as if she could not believe what she had just heard from the mouth of her new client.

"How, Sir?" ask Aretha to make sure she gets back. "Would you like to work with our company?" he still doesn't believe.

"Yes, why? Ms. Aretha doesn't mind, does she?" Fathur asked back. "I don't think there's any reason for me not to continue this cooperation, after what I just heard and witnessed firsthand" he added.

"No, that's not what I meant. It's just, I was a little surprised by the decision of the Father that I felt was too soon. Don't you want to make observations in our company first to be more convincing?" ask Aretha to make sure she gets back.

Fathur chuckled a little. "No need, I believe what you're saying, and I won't change my decision" she replied, looking at Aretha's face, making her a little misbehaved.

"Alright, thank you for your trust, I am very happy to be working with your company, hopefully our plan can run smoothly," replied Aretha who suddenly became nervous, because of getting an intense gaze from his new client.

Really Aretha still does not believe if his client will break his cooperation contract as soon as possible, without first observing the company he is headed. Somehow to describe his feelings at that time, which is clear Aretha felt very happy and there is pride in itself, when he can do things that can attract the attention of his clients well.

"Well, then I close today" Aretha said, ending her meeting with her new client, and they all got up and shook each other's hands.

"I'm sorry, can we speak four eyes?" asked Fathur suddenly who suddenly made Aretha a little surprised.

Before long, Alya and Mario— both colleagues from Fathur also say goodbye until only Aretha and Fathur and Melly are left in the room.

Aretha opened her eyes to Melly as if gesturing for her private secretary to come out first, because she would feel bad, when she refused Fathur's request at that time. Melly also immediately complied with the request of her superior at that time.

Aretha published a smile at her heart, trying to be elegant, even though she was in a state of wonder and a little nervous.

"Please sit down, sir," Aretha said, inviting her guests back to sit down.

"Thank you," Fathur replied, looking back at Aretha's smile.

"I did not expect that we would be reunited here" said Fathur began to open the topic.

Again Aretha smiled, then lowered her head for a moment and looked up again while focusing on the face of the client.

"I didn't expect that the person who met me in a bookstore a few days ago would be my client" Aretha replied.

They also seemed to chuckle, so that the atmosphere seemed to melt just like that, without any awkwardness between them.

"Mm .. I'm sorry, may I speak more casually as a friend, not as a client?" asked Fathur a little doubtful. However, Aretha just kept silent. Of course, he was afraid of being impolite if he spoke with his client so casually. He also had to rethink himself to do that.

"Content ... so that we are more familiar," persuaded Fathur with his casual tone. "Only outside working hours" he added later.

Again Aretha smiled in response. He was hesitant to accept Fathur's offer at the time. "Isn't this still working hours?" ask Aretha.

Aretha's question did not necessarily make Fathur give up just like that. He was still relaxed in the face of Aretha's attitude at that time. "Isn't our work for today done?" Fathur did not want to lose, and again made Aretha again chuckle.

"Alright, it's up to you, Mr. Fathur," replied Aretha to surrender.

"Okay, call me Fathur" the repulsive Pinta Fathur surprised Aretha.

"Wah .. sorry, if for that I can not do it. I did not dare. It would be very rude if I dared to call my client by name, even if it was outside working hours" Aretha refused.

"Well if you mind, I won't force you." Fathur had a disappointed expression. However, it was not a big deal for him.

From the beginning of his encounter with Aretha, the handsome man who had eagle eyes was indeed already hypnotized by Aretha's charm. So, it is not strange, when he wants to immediately have closeness with women who were then officially his business partner, after half an hour ago they signed a cooperation contract.

Although he was a little disappointed by Aretha's rejection, but did not dampen his spirit to still be able to realize his wishes. Whenever it was, he could do it. He was very confident that with the ability he had, he could draw Aretha's attention towards him. She had no idea that Aretha had a husband and two children.

"I am very impressed with you," said Fathur without making small talk, because indeed he is not a typical person who likes to mince words, including in terms of approaching women. "At a very young age, you've been able to lead a company of this size. Rarely, there are women who are good at doing business. I think you're the woman of choice" she added, impressed. However, what came out of the man's mouth was very real, based on what he heard and saw from the figure of Aretha.

"Sir Fathur is too much. There are still many other women who are more powerful than me" Aretha replied modestly, even though the reality is like that. "In fact, Mr. Fathur himself does not know how old I am," he added later.

"Twenty-three years, maybe?" guess Fathur while looking at Aretha questioningly and curiously.

Again Aretha chuckled at the guess of her business partner who was very far from reality. "Pak Fathur is wrong. My age has reached three heads" replied Aretha.

Hearing the reply from Aretha, Fathur was slightly stunned as if in disbelief. Indeed he thought that Aretha was still about twenty-three years old. In fact, younger than that. How could Aretha's face look so young at the age of three, he thought.

"Wah ... head three? I think even you are under twenty-three years old. What a perfect masterpiece. In fact, at the age of three, you still look ten years younger than your age" he said, not running out of ways to praise Aretha.

However, it was a pity not to make Aretha even a little flattered by the praise he gave. Precisely Aretha felt uncomfortable, because it had gone too far to discuss her personal problems with other men, behind her own husband. And, just four eyes anyway.

"Sir Fathur is the most able to praise people" ledek Aretha.

"Lho, I only say what I see, not just talk" Fathur argued. "For me, it was amazing" he added, only to be met with laughter by Aretha.

Feeling that they had been chatting with Fathur for a long time where there was nothing important they discussed, Aretha decided to end their conversation immediately.

Although Fathur agreed to Aretha's request, it did not end there. In fact, when they were in front of the meeting room, Fathur still threw some unimportant questions to Aretha, which of course made Aretha even more confused, how to get away from that guy.

"So you're married?" tanya Fathur was stunned to hear Aretha's statement. Apparently, Aretha was a little suspicious of her client, so she decided to tell Fathur her status, hoping that he would no longer behave strangely in front of her.

"Yes, even I already have two children," replied Aretha with a forward-looking focus.

Fathur forced his smile. Indeed, Aretha's statement made her slightly hurt, although she was new to Aretha, she somehow felt that there was a different feeling towards the woman.

"So I'm late for the story?" ask Fathur.

"I mean Mr. Fathur, late in what, huh?" ask Aretha confused.

"Unfortunately, the person I admire so much at this time, turned out to be a family," said Fathur.

"I have absolutely no idea what Mr. Fathur means" Aretha replied.

"Darling ...."

Suddenly David's voice distracted the two of them. Fathur was very surprised to find a familiar figure there and called Aretha 'Honey'.

Dave's?

David looked to give a cynical look to Fathur who was standing next to his wife. And vice versa. Instantly they look at each other.
