The more Hate, the more Love

"Good day, Mr. Abraham. How is your father today?" greet Zea when she arrives at Abraham's nursery.

"Jiang Zea, Leo. I don't know if it's improved or not. What is clear is that I just want to quickly go home and accelerate the GMS to appoint you as CEO." 

Zea turned towards Leo who gave a chair to Zea and took another seat for herself. 

"Wouldn't Mr. Abraham focus on health first" Zea suggested. Not without reason, he did not accept the offer because he did not want to fight and did not even get along with many parties who did not agree with Abraham's proposal. 

"It is precisely by ensuring the position of CEO in the right hands that I will be able to ensure my health is fine. Leo, make sure he's ready for his new job."

"Ready, sir." 

Zea let out a sigh, looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the hospital bed and the sad thing was that no family members were accompanying. 

Abraham had been abandoned by his life partner a few years ago. His first son went nowhere, which Zea knew was indeed busy with his own company. Abraham's daughter was busy scattering her parents' possessions by traveling the world. 

It is not strange that some people suspect that Zea had a relationship with Abraham in order to achieve the position of CEO. 

Rich does not guarantee happiness. 

"Just calm down Zea, I'll keep helping from the back and the GMS will set you up as CEO." 

Zea just commented a smile, for him it was not necessarily the case. The future will be a mystery and happen according to destiny. Including the issue of his appointment as CEO.  Zea and Leo were still faithful to Abraham's ravings, the two men understood and lingered there only to accompany and listen to Abraham's complaints that seemed lonely. 

The vibration of the phone made Zea open the screen and stare at him to read the incoming messages. It turns out that the management group includes managers.

[Well, no effort to get to the top]

Zea sighed at the photo of herself and Leo entering Abraham's nursery. Did not expect the seniors in his office could do so silly by uploading his photo in a group chat where Zea was joined in the grub.

They satirize and talk about Zea not behind but in front of Zea as well.

While in a different place, Arjuna accompanied his secretary to the location of the auction project meeting. The show had not started when they arrived, Arjuna himself chose to mingle with the CEOs of other companies he knew.

Arjuna's gaze was fixed on the figure of a man who looked familiar, he opened his phone to confirm something and smiled.

“It so happens, we find out first if he knows his wife is playing with Papi,” muttered Arjuna and then walked over to the man in question.

“Good day, Mr. Gavin,” greet Arjuna while extending his hand.

“I Arjuna Kamil.”

“Owh, son of Mr Abraham?” Arjuna nodded slowly. Both are involved in talks about their respective companies trying to familiarize themselves. Who does not know Abraham, therefore Gavin tried to establish a good relationship.

Unlike Arjuna who wants to find out more about Zea. From this communication it can be concluded that Gavin did not know about the proposed appointment of Zea and Zea's proximity to Abraham.

Gavin and Zea always pretend like their relationship is not a problem, and always show happiness. Though the reality is the opposite, Zea feels tormented by her marriage.

“I did not expect to be able to compete at this auction with Mr. Abraham's son,” exclaimed Gavin. Arjuna just smiled in response to Gavin's words.

If not for finding out about your wife, where might I say hello first, Inner Arjuna.

...***...

“Be like we have no problem,” whispered Gavin as they entered a fancy restaurant where his parents were waiting. Luckily he met Zea in the parking lot, there was a chance to put pressure on Zea.

“No Mas, I will tell Papi and your Mami how our relationship really is. I'm tired and I'm sick of everything.”

Gavin chuckles then grabs Zea's chin, “Dare you do that, I make sure the cooperation with your father's company will end. What if the shareholders start withdrawing their funds?"

Zea snorted annoyedly at Gavin's threat. What this man before him had nothing else, other than business as a shield.

“How about if I don't care about it.”

Gavin pulled out Zea's hand and walked back to the parking lot. “Let go of my hand Mas.”

“You do not know thank you, we see what happens if your family knows you are brash like this.”

“How about we go back, what if your parents know his son is so insolent. I'm tired of continuing to skit, with your irritation.”

Gavin chuckled, “I suspect, are you another man so eager to part with me.”

“Not any other man, but I don't want to be constantly fooled. I deserve to be happy,” Zea said then ran to her own car to save herself.

“Zea, open!” gavin yelled while knocking on the windshield.

“Crazy basics.” Zea started the car engine and started driving away from the restaurant area.
