The tantrums and also the punches from Arjuna seemed to have succeeded in making Dave aware of the problems they were currently experiencing. He was still sitting pensively in his room watching his computer, which was still on, showing some sales charts for his company. After staring for quite a while, a sigh escaped Dave before he finally adjusted his tie. 
Dave's facial expression also changed rapidly, like now he had shown his serious going side in this matter. It's true what Arjuna said, if he really loved and cared for Aini, he shouldn't have gone to this extent. With one deep breath, Dave started working with such enthusiasm and even exchanged messages with Hendramo, wanting to discuss their partnership more deeply. For him, to know the enemy's mindset, he had to meet him face to face. 
Even though inside Dave was full of anger, he remembered again how Aini got bruises on her face because of the man's actions, even in her heart she had vowed to take revenge that Aini couldn't do and also cursed her. Unfortunately, all these things now he will not be able to do. If he does, then Aini will only be in big trouble, bigger than what it is now. 
Just thinking about the possibility that happened in Aini's house made Dave shrink. Since he had already hurt her, he didn't mean to hurt her even more. Or at least that's the principle Dave has now. After he received a reply from Hendramo who agreed to his invitation, a big smile appeared on Dave's lips before he started preparing for his presentation. He will do whatever it takes to save Aini. 
“I will stay out until evening and not come back until tomorrow. Please cancel existing plans and rearrange for tomorrow. For tomorrow's schedule which has a meeting in the morning, please postpone it to the afternoon,” said Dave, who left his room, said it without looking at Aini at all. 
Surprised, Aini could only nod her head. “A-ah, yes! Good. I will do it soon.”
“Aini… tonight… try to get home early, okay?”
“Yes?” Aini, who was just about ready to call the part that will be holding a meeting tomorrow, intends to cancel the meeting, surprised. He looked at Dave, who had an expression hard to read. To the extent that Aini tilted her head, Dave was silent and had no intention of explaining the current problem. “Yes! Fine, I understand!”
“Because I won't be in the office, if you want to go home early and meet your friends, that's fine too.” Even though Dave's tone sounded a little cold, he actually just wanted to tell Aini to have fun. Knowing that Aini didn't like being pitied, Dave did something like that on purpose. 
Maybe because of a long-standing affection, or perhaps because of being a savior in the dark, Aini could feel her heartbeat speed up when she saw Dave. Like the man was an angel. Aini hurriedly lowered her head, so Dave couldn't see the change in her expression. He must be strong so that no one knows his weakness, if they find out, they will only take advantage of him and Aini doesn't like it. Especially if it can threaten many things. 
Because he already had an appointment with Hendramo, Dave got ready rushing. He also had to do something for his cheek, which looked a little swollen from the punch from Arjuna. Even though he looks powerless, this man can be said to be quite crazy when he is angry. Dave actually felt curious about why Arjuna was overprotective of Aini, but on the one hand, he also didn't dare to ask further. 
When Dave was daydreaming about the relationship between the two, he unknowingly arrived at the promised place with Hendramo. Because he would rather not be too formal, Dave finally invited Hendramo to chat at one of the well-known cafés in the area. It was clear that Hendramo did not reject him, seeing it as a big step to bring Dave down and keep him away from Aini. 
“Sorry I'm late,” replied Hendramo, who didn't have an apologetic tone at all. 
"That's okay. I just came too soon.” Dave smiled a sweet smile, getting a cynical glance from Hendramo. Of course, he felt very calm because Dave knew his place. Even if he was late, Dave had to take it for granted. Dave, who smiled while closing his eyes, couldn't see the cynical look given by Hendramo. “Then let's discuss the project we will be working on together.”
"Of course. I'm already very curious about the idea you gave in the proposal,” Hendramo chuckled softly, intending to ridicule Dave. Of course Dave was aware of the point, but he went to great lengths to pretend he didn't understand at all. Sometimes, pretending not to know is the best option. 
"Then I'll get straight to the point. This time I want to invite you to make something different from usual. If all this time home furniture seems elegant, we also have to think about small children, right?”
“Oh? So, that means this is a product targeted at children?” Dave nodded firmly, his heart beating faster with fear. "Continue. This time I feel really curious.”
Based on the code given by Hendramo, Dave finally explained what he wanted in this project and also what kind of market they could reach. He also said that he had done research among people who often buy their products. It took several hours before their discussion was over. And throughout that explanation, it was clear that Hendramo seemed more relaxed and didn't think about his surroundings at all. 
With that opportunity, many times Dave asked tricky questions. Some questions were easily dodged by the man, but some were answered like he was completely unaware. For Dave, the meeting this time was very successful. Not only in finding loopholes to save Aini, but also in making useful products in the future. He could increase sales with the goods he had prepared together with Hendramo, without using that person's name later. 
This had been the original plan for Dave. He would trap Hendramo with a false statement before he would finally show that he had signed and agreed that all the products they made would fall into the hands of Dave's company. That way, Hendramo's company would run into trouble and disgrace even Leo, who was getting married. It will all cause chaos, so they won't be able to focus on their upcoming wedding. 
With a smile so big, Dave left Hendramo, who must have felt happy now. He was pleased because he could earn more money. For Hendramo, the only thing that really mattered was money and money. That's why Dave could easily make him fall into the deepest abyss. Those who are greedy and greedy will indeed forever be on the wrong path. 
"I have done everything. Call Sean so we can accelerate the process,” Dave said while on the phone. “I will save Aini, whatever the obstacle.”
