You're In My Grips
Chapter 21
Erick was getting ready and looked very neat in his suit, going down the stairs while glancing at his phone. Today is his meeting with the shareholders, of course to get a profit. Both eyes caught two people who were joking while enjoying tea, so familiar that they did not realize its presence.
"If you don't have a job, you better help me work for the company" Erick glanced at Alan, the expensive watch in his hand forcing him to leave immediately.
"I'm bored, how about I take you somewhere?" alan said as he glanced at his cousin, smiling to give his revenge.
Immediately Erick stopped his footsteps, hearing the words Alan was about to take Dara away. "He can't go out without my permission." Flat talk.
Alan grinned thinly. "You're not her husband, don't pretentiously rule the lives of others."
Suddenly Erick turned around, a sharp gaze pointed at his cousin's sister who always irritated him by making the best use of the situation. "He works for me, so it's natural that I forbid him."
"really? " Alan further heats up his cousin, giving Erick a little lesson.
"certain." Erick replied proudly and arrogantly at the same time.
Alan laughed at his cousin's brother. "You forgot, Dara worked babysitting grandma." His eyes smiled triumphantly.
Dara was silent to be a spectator of the two cousins, it was true that she began working to nurture Diana's grandmother, somehow Erick who had fired her again asked her to work.
Erick has no answer and decides to leave, forgetting the closeness of his cursed cousin who has upset him in the morning.
"Why are you looking for trouble with him?"
"You take it easy, I'll bear it and you'll sit still." Alan stepped away, smiling, irritating his cousin. "It's just the beginning, you're gonna be hot cold to see my next act." He mumbled with a dirty smile.
"Damn.I know Alan must have played me deliberately, I'll reward you." The bump was irritated along the way to the office, opening the car window letting the breeze blow his face, slightly calming the mind.
In the office, Erick daydreamed about the incident this morning. Clenched his hand, hardened his jaw.
"Sir, ten minutes from meeting will be starting soon." Report Ibn's assistant who snatched into the room, it even made Erick more irritated and eager to strangle him.
"Hey you, I cut your pay five percent. Once again you deny it, I must have thrown you out of this building!" his threat showed a sharp look.
"Sorry sir, I'm too careless and next time won't be repeated."
"Prepare everything, I'll catch up." Erick let out a heavy sigh trying to ease anger as well as bad emotions, because this meeting is very important in order to reap great benefits.
"Excuse me, sir." Ibnu's assistant came out not wanting to be an outlet of anger from superiors who secretly still hold a sense but do not dare to express it.
In the meeting room Erick's concentration was solved, half his mind was in the mansion and seeing clearly how close the proximity between Alan and Dara was. Soon he got rid of the thought and refocused because he did not want any problems or obstacles, everything must be perfect.
Some time later, Erick came out and as usual was followed by his assistant and gave him some important reports.
"Before I apologized, in the meeting room you seemed uninspired" Ibn alerted slowly, afraid that his master turned fierce.
"It's none of your business, just do your job!" he said that did not care whether the shareholders liked his lackluster actions. But on the negative side it definitely hides the positive side.
"So How? Did you guys get the information?" The look of someone wearing a black robe stared at his subordinates.
"Already sir, Miss Dara there is a dimension of Adelmo, Erick gave her the punishment not to come out of the mansion without her permission.
Bugh.bugh.
"You're all stupid and useless, taking care of just one person you can't. Get out of my sight or I'll forget and dark eyes kill you all."
Hearing a threat make their hair goosebumps, the three men immediately leave their superiors who vent anger by destroying the goods in the room.
While on the other hand, Dara was bored there dimension after taking care of grandmother who had fallen asleep, she wanted to go out to the bookstore of course by looking for a novel to eliminate boredom.
"Do I have to call that crazy guy?" thought Dara who felt it was a strange thing. "Why should I report to him, I'll be gone for a minute." His mutter heeded Erick's words.
Dara smiled widely at the many neatly arranged rows of novel books, happiness was very simple, but people now still prestige to believe trivial things.
"I bought a few books only," the monologue Dara brought five thick novels with passion to the cashier.
But when he turned around he accidentally bumped into someone and quickly apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay," replied the smiling man revealing two dimples that made him more charming and handsome.
"Arvans. You you? Wow, it's a coincidence we're in the same place." Dara is excited to see the existence of former employees who have worked at Erick's company.
"What book are you looking for?" Arvan looked at the five books in Dara's hand and smiled. "Love story."
Dara blushed in embarrassment there immediately turned her face away, afraid that the man was reading her expression at this moment. "Yes, that's it." Cengengesan.
"I don't think our hobbies are the same, I also collect romance novels." Arvan said excitedly while showing the open he had bought, Dara gaped in disbelief to see a man like Arvan love romance novels.
"How about we go to the nearest cafe? I'm the one who bought you." Take Arvan.
"It just so happens that I'm thirsty, come on!"
The two chat with each other and share stories of novels that have been read, ranging from famous writers and those who do not. Dara who gets the same interest increasingly makes him forget the time, keep chatting there is someone who looks careless.
"All of you I fired!" said Erick raised his voice, several times he tried to contact Dara's phone but not in the lift increasingly makes his feelings upset.
"Ma.sorry Sir." Answer one of them.
"If you show your face, do not hesitate to skin you cruelly also sadistic." Erik was very angry that suddenly got a notification of incoming messages from Ibnu's assistant.
How surprised Dara was at one cafe, leaving without asking her permission. More hurtful, seeing clearly how the interaction of the ex-lover and also his former employees were together also looks familiar.
"Because, you always make me angry. Is it so easy to talk and make friends with a lot of guys? I'll teach you a lesson later, wait for me." His murmur soon followed.
