The day has passed... Three days already Jio was still in a deep taste of poignancy. But he was not created to be weak. He was a crown prince of the Xavier family, the supreme ruler within the Black Hold Clan. So there is no day to be silent in the room, in a state of lamenting his fate which is forgotten by the lover.
Dressed in jeans and a dark blue shirt, the young man stepped into Italy's largest corporate building.
A large company that paints various well-known companies in one large umbrella. Starting from Zero Company, Sebastian Company, to the highest level of Sebastian Corporation.
And all of that was owned by the same man, Michael Xavier Sebastian. The only successor of Frederick Sebastian.
With all the power that the father has, it certainly makes Jio the crown prince dizzy if there are problems in the office. And if there is an important thing that he must attend, then whenever in need Jio will come like the speed of light tips that hit the Earth.
That morning, around 9am, with his sleep-deprived eyes, Jio entered the building which would later establish himself as the supreme ruler inside. His footsteps were used to stealing the attention of every employee.
Who does not know the crown prince? There ain't! everyone knows and knows him, and wants to know him if he has the chance. Especially the young girls who made it into the company.
Carrying a black backpack containing his work laptop, Jio stepped in without looking around. He just kept going, and nodded if anyone greeted him. Although not everyone had the opportunity to hear Jio's voice. Until his feet stopped right in front of a special elevator for the higher-ups.
"Good morning, Young Master." greet someone from Jio's right side who is standing in front of the ordinary employee's special elevator.
"Hm.." replied Jio flat, very flat.
The Young Master is still in badmood mode. Because since the day the lover underwent treatment, he has not been allowed to meet. Because the girl will always be angry if reminded of her.
Entering the elevator without seeing who greeted him. And don't want to know who he is, even though the voice sounds very soft and still fresh. Alias voice young girl.
Entering the Daddy's office, Jio sat down to face the father who was waiting for him. Not only the father, but in the room there was also Jack, Dimitri and several other company officials.
In addition to Jio and the Father, all of them sat on the sofa in the Daddy's study. And Jio greeted all of them with just a flat look and smile.
"What did Daddy call me?" jio asked to take out his work laptop which he definitely needed every time he entered the magnificent building.
Without asking any more, or looking around, Jio instantly turned on his work laptop. In order to ensure all forms of security company system that he guarded is always safe.
"There's something Daddy wants to tell you, as well as all of you" Michael said loudly and firmly, turning to the company's top brass.
All turned their heads and looked at the black dragon who was half a century less. Except for Jio who is still busy turning on the laptop and activating the smart thing in his pants pocket. Once lit up, the first thing he checks first is the incoming email for him.
One email came in, it really caught Jio's attention. Until he ignored what his father was talking about. Even so his ears never miss a word that is said by the father.
"Daddy sure!" hentak Jio after reading the email that came from the father's personal email.
Along with Jio who suddenly stomped by staring at the screen of his laptop, coinciding with Michael who finished speaking....
"I decided to abdicate from the throne I was sitting on in this company. And my eldest son who will take the place of everything that is related to me. I believe my son will be the greatest leader. No less great than me!"
And when the owner of the company stopped talking, that's when Jio stomped with a question that was directly connected to the sentence of the father.
"Of course Daddy's sure!" replied the clan head, when he heard the stomping of his son. "Daddy is confident, you can certainly keep this company to remain stable, and increasingly spread the wings on the European scene.
"But Jio is too young, Daddy!" jio replied staring at the screen showing a statement letter made by the Daddy.
An official statement, if his name is, Georgio Xavier Sebastian will soon rise to become the CEO of Sebastian Corporation. Michael himself chose to retire early and chose to stay home with his wife. Put all the company's business on the crown prince.
"Daddy will stay with you, Jio!" sahut Michael stared fixedly and sure of the son. "The difference is that Daddy will be home more often, and you will occupy this room" the Mafia explained.
"But, Daddy...." Jio stared fixedly at the father who was looking at him with certainty. Making lips that want to make a statement, can only open small without any sound coming out of it.
"Jack will now be your personal assistant, Jio! He will continue to accompany you to take care of this company until the next few years." said the Mafia turned to Jack who swiftly nodded respectfully to Jio.
Sighing heavily, Jio was completely unable to resist what he had suddenly put on him. By 19 years of age, when the new self enters the level of lecture, but has been given so much confidence.
Jio understands very well with his father. The Mafia would never pull the words he had already said. Especially buying time.
Throwing his back on the back of the chair, Jio stared one by one at the people who from this moment on would submit to him. Because the Mafia chose to leave office.
***
Night has arrived.leaving Jio who now carries a new responsibility, there is Jia who is in his room. Facing the study table, to do his college assignments.
For two hours he left his phone to sit on the nightstand. Bored began to hit the Young Miss. So he went and grabbed the smart thing to carry the lie on the bed.
Hoping there was a silent notification coming into his phone, but it turned out to be nil. No message from the lover. The last time the two communicated was this afternoon. Before the lover is done.
"What is he, yes.." muttered the Young Miss while looking at the profile picture of the lover.
"There's nothing to enjoy about your profile picture, Amore!" gerutu Jia's. Because the Profile Picture of the lover is a symbol of the Clan owned by the Father.
"Should put on a picture of you handsome!" jia said smiling and giggling to herself.
"Or our photo!" he continued getting worse.
"Who dares to put up a photo with me, other than friends on campus!" he puts his shoulders.
Tired of seeing the remnants of the chat that always gave its own debate, Jia switched to get out of the room, and relaxed on the balcony. Enjoy the light of night lights, and the sprinkling of stars in the sky.
And if possible, of course he hopes if he can see the lover who may be passing under there. Although the lover is already in duty free time.
"We're free to hope, aren't we?" murmured Jia shifted one of the doors connecting the room with the balcony.
Standing on the balcony, staring at the garden, as well as the iron fence far ahead. Feel the cold that begins to spread through the skin.
As she felt the night chill, Jia repeatedly noticed several bodyguards passing by. Of course he hopes if one of them is the lover. But all of that is just a hope that is difficult to come true.
And what caught Jia's attention was, when she tried to sharpen her hearing. And what he heard was the guard saying Xiaoli's name. Jia's heart was jolted when someone mentioned the name that had taken hold of her heart and mind for some time.
Then one word made Jia frown...
"Fest?" mummified Jia.
"What does that mean?" ask him to yourself.
"Xiaoli attended the party?" murmured concluded. "Whose party?" he murmured very curious.
So he quickly went back to the room and grabbed his phone. The name of the lover immediately he presses to make a call. But what he gets is a sign that the lover cannot accept the call.
Then a message came to his phone.
️ "Sorry, Bao Bao. I'm with the other bodyguard friends."
"Right, he's at a party?" ask her with wide eyes.
