After making sure that Aini was okay, Dave finally went to his room with Aini, discussing the meeting and the appointments they had to attend. Once finished, Dave said goodbye to Aini and entered his room, closed the door tightly before leaning against the door. A long sigh escaped Dave's lips just like that, he didn't even try to hold it in because he knew that he was alone in the room. Even so, Dave could feel his body was so tired even though he didn't do anything hard. “Hendramo… huh?” Dave muttered before opening his eyes, looking ahead where the windows showed a fairly large expanse of the city. Once again, Dave sighed before he finally sat down in his chair, turned on the computer in front of him and focused on one document. The document does not have a name like other documents. The contents could even be said to be far from complete, and Dave didn't want to continue or finish the document at all. However, after what he saw with Aini, suddenly something inside him ignited until finally, he started typing again in the document. Word for word, he arranged it very nicely so that anyone who read it would not feel doubt. For several hours, Dave just focused on the document, typing, erasing, then typing again. He repeated this routine until finally, it was time to eat. Hearing a rather rough typing sound from inside made AIni feel hesitant to knock, even though Dave had said to call him during lunchtime. Dave also told him that it would be nice if he occasionally joined the others for lunch, of course, he would pay for all the lunches. And that day was one of them. However, it appears to me that Dave's actions made Aini feel a little guilty if she had to disturb him. A few minutes later, Aini finally mustered up the courage and knocked on the door, absolutely not expecting any response from within. However, what happened beyond expectations? The typing sound stopped almost as fast as the incoming tapping sound. Even Dave answered the sound of the knock on the door, making Aini feel surprised for a few moments. It was only after a few more minutes that he realized what he was doing. "Lunch is here, sir. I'm sure the other employees are already leaving.” As soon as Aini finished speaking, Dave seemed to be silent again before opening the door and giving cash. “This is for …?” “Sorry, I can't come today. Therefore, please treat them with this money, okay? There's no need for any leftovers.” Without waiting for Aini's reply, Dave immediately closed the door, accidentally slamming it so hard that it pulled Aini from his realm, still wondering about Dave's strange behavior. “Hm… maybe he's busy. Yes, that's right. Busy.” Because she would rather not disturb Dave, Aini finally left Dave to meet her other co-workers. As soon as everyone stayed, went for lunch, Dave quickly gathered his things and left a text message for Aini saying he would be out for a while. Thereafter, Dave quickly carried a printed document in his hands, entered the car, before driving to a place where he didn't expect to set foot. Actually, Dave himself didn't have any intention, but after speaking with Aini earlier, he felt it was appropriate to do this. It didn't take long for Dave to arrive, but lunchtime was certainly over. Even though he hadn't scheduled an appointment yet, Dave still insisted on getting in, as if hoping that the person he was meeting wasn't busy. As soon as he entered his office, Dave met Hendramo in person. The boy seemed to have just come back from lunch, so he looked a little flustered. Hendramo even glanced around, as if to make sure that he wasn't mistaken that there was someone in front of him. “Who are you looking for?” Hendramo asked, looking Dave up and down. Of course, the neat clothes Dave wore made Hendramo feel even more confused, but he chose to remain silent. “You are Hendramo, right?” Dave exchanged pleasantries, as if to reassure himself. “Ah, yes, right with myself. Was there an appointment with me before?” Dave shook his head, crumpling the document in his hand, but it showed no sign of crumpling. “Then you can go to….” “I want to speak directly to you right now!” Dave's exclamation that was so sudden succeeded in making Hendramo surprised. He straightened up and once again looked around, trying to make sure that no one had heard the screams. Luckily, most of the employees were still taking advantage of their lunch hour so no one was listening in on the conversation. With narrowed eyes, finally, Hendramo asked Dave to go to his office. Actually, he didn't have the intention to doing that, it's just that he felt that it would be difficult to make Dave give up. Once inside the room, Hendramo was even more surprised to see Dave's determined expression. For that reason, the wrinkles on Hendramo's forehead were now growing again, he really felt suspicious of what the young man wanted to do. All the curiosity he had was suppressed, and he asked Dave to sit down first. With his heart beating fast, Dave complied with Hendramo's request, sitting up straight. Discomfort appeared on Hendramo's face, he struggled to keep it from looking like someone who had committed a crime. While waiting for Dave to calm down, Hendramo sent a text message to Leo, saying that suddenly someone was looking for Hendramo. Not only that, Hendramo also added that the person who came suddenly was Dave. Of course, Hendramo recognized him because of the photos he had with Aini, warned directly by Leo. “What do you need here?” Hendramo's question pulled Dave out of his thoughts. “Ah, that!” Dave was seen crumpling back, the documents in hand. He glanced down before handing over the document with his head lowered. “I may not be a big client, but I look forward to the time we can work together.” “Cooperate?” parrot Hendramo. He looked skeptical at the document in Dave's hands. However, he finally decided to take it. He read the cooperation proposal submission carefully. He nodded his head, reading every word. Meanwhile, Dave, who noticed Hendramo's facial expression, felt even more frightened. “How …?” Dave, seeing that Hendramo had finished reading the proposal, put his hands on his knees, trying to be polite and respectful to him. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he already wanted to berate Hendramo, punish him and beat him black and blue. How could he hurt his daughter? Even if it came from a woman he no longer loved, this wasn't how he should act! "Hmm, how, huh. At this time, I do not feel or see the benefits of working with your company. Especially when I already have another big sponsor.” “Please reconsider!” Hendramo, who heard that, glanced at his cellphone, saw that there was a new message from Leo. "Then can you give me one week? Only then will I determine … which side I will stand on.”
