The Deal
In a large mansion, there was a middle-aged man who was seen picking up the phone from someone inside his grand and spacious room, who else but the subordinate he had asked to keep an eye on Gifer.
In the phone call.
“Boss, it turns out that Gifer is now with a girl, they are like close friends. What to do? Should I get rid of that girl?” Asked the person on the other side of the phone.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“What are the characteristics of that girl?”
“She looks like someone you know boss. Remember that girl named Belvina who fell down the stairs in your company? Well, that’s the girl who is currently with Gifer,” Yes, the middle-aged man clearly remembered, about the incident of his employee falling down the stairs due to someone else pushing her from behind, all seen on the CCTV of the ‘Shinning Doll’ company at that time. In fact, the middle-aged man also paid for the hospital fees and also visited the girl who fell down the stairs.
“So, are you saying that girl was also once an employee of GF Corp?” The middle-aged man guessed to make sure that what he meant was wrong, not GF Corp but Shinning Doll.
“No, not GF Corp, but your Shinning Doll company, and after the accident she and her best friend requested resignation from the boss,”
Duar!!!
Like being struck by lightning, it turned out that his guess was correct, the girl was an employee who had worked doi the company he currently held.
“Ah yes, I remember. Well, don’t get rid of that girl, because I still really need her,” he ordered to someone on the other side. Thinking something was strange, the person on the other side asked him again about his boss’s decision.
“What does the boss mean?”
“Never mind, don’t ask too many questions. What is clear is that the girl is very useful to me, I will try to persuade her if she still recognizes me,”
“Ah, alright, boss,”
“Thanks for the information, the money will be in your account later.”
The phone was hung up. The middle-aged man flashed his triumphant smirk.
“There’s no need to fish when you can just set the bait and the fish will catch itself. Hahahaha.”
He rushed out of his room, but what he saw this time was the princess who had just returned from her shop which was still quiet. She was dressed in a brown hoodie, black pants and black heels. Let’s not forget her straight hair that was deliberately styled. She stepped onto the long sofa that was very comfortable to lie down on.
“Hah… so tired…” She complained while slumping her body on the soft sofa, making the middle-aged man come over to her. Making her roll her eyes lazily. What the hell was her father doing coming over to her? He must have wanted to force her to go back to Gifer. She thought.
“Are you tired?” Asked her father who was standing right in front of her.
“Why, you don’t like me selling snacks on the side of the road? You don’t have to pretend to care, if it turns out that you are the one who chased away all my customers, don’t act like you don’t know anything,” said Raya casually, still lying on the sofa while typing something on her cell phone.
“Yes, I did, but it looks like I’m going to make peace with you now,” hearing the word “make peace” seemed a little strange to Raya’s ears so she turned her gaze toward her father’s face.
“What? Make peace?”
“Yes, I can make your customers come back again like when you opened your shop, but, there is a condition.”
“Cihh, the condition is that you want me to return to Gifer right? I don’t want to, I’m sorry, but I will never accept your conditions. I’d rather my shop be empty as long as I’m always with Indra, than a crowded shop but have to go back with a blind man who can only trouble people!” Hearing that explanation from his daughter made Mr. Kevin think that his daughter had always disliked Gifer. Maybe Gifer was handsome and kind, but none of that existed in Raya’s eyes. All the relationships she had with Gifer were based on coercion and only for her father’s business.
“You, you haven’t finished talking yet, you’re already interrupting,” Mr. Kevin sighed disappointedly.
“Yes, Dad usually wants to do that, right?”
“Not this time. You relax, I will no longer force you to return to Gifer. I already have another mission. All I want is that when Gifer returns to the company to become CEO again, you never take the company back from his hands. Agreed?” Mr. Kevin extended his hand in front of the princess who was still lying on the sofa. The princess moved from her sleeping position to sitting, accepting Mr. Kevin’s hand. Agreeing to the agreement she had just made with her father, so that there would be no more arguments between them.
“Take it easy, I’ll never go back there, anyway, I don’t care about companies and offices anymore because it’s not my field or skill. Take it easy, I will never interfere with your office life again. But remember, return all my customers and clean up the good name of my shop,”
“Alright, I’ll ask my goons to clear your shop’s name in front of the customers,”
“That’s it. That’s my dad.” They both smiled with satisfaction as if they had won a competition.

The sun had already hidden behind the hill and shifted with the moon whose rays highlighted the beauty of the black night clouds accompanied by various small stars around it. Belvina was standing on the balcony while sipping the warm tea she made, occasionally she smiled, remembering the incident last time when Gifer shot her in the cold temperature when it was raining.
She still did not expect that Gifer would declare his love in front of the foundation where he taught and under a mango tree. It seemed less romantic because everything happened suddenly when the two lovebirds told each other honestly about the same problem. Anggi who accidentally passed by the balcony door was a little surprised, why did her best friend even go out on the balcony during the rainy season and at this time of night? She thought. He also tried to approach his friend, he saw that his friend was smiling to himself while sipping warm tea whose smoke was still billowing in the air, along with the sound of rain that was getting heavier.
“Vin!” He called out. The one who felt called turned his head, looking towards the source of the voice.
“What’s wrong, Gi?”
“I’ve noticed you’ve been acting strange lately, you know! You’ve been smiling to yourself, even in the middle of the rainy season like this you’re out on the balcony without any thick clothes on, don’t you feel cold? Besides, the rain is getting heavier, don’t you see that your feet are covered in rainwater?”
“Hehe, it’s okay, I’m just having fun. You must also be happy if your best friend is happy?”
“Yes, I am, but the thing is, I’m worried you’ll go crazy, you know!”
“Yes, it can be said like that,”
“Huh? What do you mean Vin? I’m getting more and more out of touch with your way of thinking.”
“I’m crazy in love, Gi,”
“Love? Hmm, must be about Gifer again? Come on, admit it?”
“Hahahaha, yes, who else,”
“Oh so, indeed, people who are under the control of love do have a different aura, hahahha.”
