Meanwhile, at Camila's House.
"Daniel, aren't you going to meet Jason?" ask Camila.
"Consider mom, I don't want to hear her throw me out again. You saw him hold back last night, just because of that woman." Daniel said with sadness.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have fallen in love with the great master, I should have rejected him as best I could. If only I had a little courage, maybe Jason wouldn't be hostile to me." Sesal Camila's.
"So, mommy's sorry to have me?" Daniel asked in a hurt tone.
Camila was shocked by Daniel's words.
"That's not what I meant by Daniel. You are a gift in my life. You know not how much I love you." Camila stroked Daniel's hair with the love of a mother.
"But mommy loves her too."
"For me, Jasion is your oldest brother. I love you both." Reply Camila sincerely.
"But he hates you."
"That's my fault. He was hurt for what I did. Jason was a teenager when he saw me with the big master. It's my fault." There was a regretful tone in Camila's sentence.
"But you've been punishing yourself for too long Mom, she knows it's not if the great master isn't a holy man. Even that old man makes you cry." Daniel was upset.
"Give him Daniel time."
"If it wasn't because you loved her so much and if it wasn't for your guilt, I'd want to stay away from this family."
"No dear, you support him because you feel the same way as me. You expect him to love you like a little brother." Camila said softly as she stroked Daniel's head on his lap.
"Huh.if another woman gives birth to me, I'm not sure she'll let me love Jason." Fizz Erick.
"Another woman will definitely mold me into an enemy for Jason." Connect Erick again.
Camila smiled gently.
"Maybe, Lia could be the go-between between you and Jason."
*******
After getting a photo of Lia with a thin white cloth, Jason swore many times. He had just arrived at the office for three hours. And the work is piling up. But the photo was so tempting.
At this moment Jason stared at his laptop screen trying to pay attention to the graph of the report there, but only Lia's shadow appeared. Working away from Lia made it even harder to concentrate.
Jason is getting addicted to Lia. Before getting to know Lia, he preferred to handle all his own work late into the night, working non-stop, thus making many subordinates resign.
Since meeting with Lia, especially since the woman lived in the Mansion, Jason had started to divide the work for the subordinates to handle. Provided he could go home quickly and look at Lia.
But now, he realized something even worse. Not seeing Lia in the office room, it makes Jason more anxious. Jason felt a bit of passion in working left behind at Penthouse.
Next time I have to be able to hold back, so that he can stay up in the morning
"Hallooo my handsome boy dear." A woman's voice rattled Jason's concentration.
Laura Collins walked in without excuse with a woman. Natalli. Jason straightened his body without getting out of the chair. It seems that Laura Collins has not given up on her match with Natalli.
"Why are you here, mom?" Jason didn't like it.
"Is it wrong to see my own son?" Laura replied with a small laugh.
"Hi Jasson." Say hello to Natalli warmly.
Jason ignored Natali's greeting, not even trying to look at Natali.
Jason glanced at Lia's desk, relieved that Lia wasn't in the room. Jason has not prepared Lia to face Laura. She was too worried, if Laura was unable to accept Lia and insult her woman. Because Jason knows, if that happens then he can no longer face Laura Collins well.
"I just missed you. And wanted to take you to lunch together. "get Laura.
"I have a meeting this afternoon. Please mommy have lunch alone." Jason politely refused.
"I checked your schedule with Pedro. You're empty this afternoon, so of course you have no reason to refuse. Come on. We rarely meet, don't make myself sad." Laura said softly as she styled Jason recklessly
Jason took a heavy breath and glanced at his watch.
"All right mom. Only twenty minutes. The rest I have other business." Jason relented.
"Well twenty minutes is better than no. Come on, let's eat at the restaurant downstairs." Laura waited for Jason to get out of his chair and he took Natalli's hand to get out of Jason's room. Before coming out, Laura looked at the empty table that Lia usually occupied.
"This table.. You let someone work in one room with you?" Ask Laura wonder. Not too close to Jason. But Laura understands the nature of her reclusive son. And he understands that Jason doesn't like anyone else in his study.
"My secretary." Jason answered briefly.
"Since when..."
"Mom, do you want to talk about my work or have lunch?"
"Ah, yes. Let's go Natali, let's go."
In restaurant.
"Jason, you know, Natalli's gonna be the head of the association to hold an annual fashion party at the club." Laura Collins opens the conversation.
"Hmmm... " Jason answered with a murmur.
"I specifically gave this invitation to you. You must attend." Natali issues an invitation and presents it to Jason.
The handsome man simply glanced without touching.
"This is for couples. You can come with Natalli. You guys are gonna be the best couple on the show." Laura said excitedly.
"I won't be present." Jason replied coldly.
"Don't do that, all the company leaders will be present at the event." Laura's still trying to persuade Jasson.
"Then let Erick represent me."
"Ah, I've prepared another invitation for Erick." Said Natali while issuing another invitation from Pradanya bag.
"What if you're a mother's partner, at the party?" Said Laura who understood that Jason did not want to be highlighted with Natali.
"Why doesn't mommy come with a big master?" Insinuations Jason.
"The old man, heh! I'd rather come alone than be with him." Laura grumbled in annoyance. Because he knows, at every associate party, Darrel Madison always disappears with one or two women.
Jason smiled cynically.
"I'll come with Laurent." Answer Laura.
"Laurent? Is he coming here?" Jason was surprised that Laurent hadn't contacted him in a long time.
"Yes. He misses you and this city." Laura Sahut.
Jason nodded his head. He missed Laurent too. His spoiled sister, stubborn yet kind-hearted. But what was even more troubling was how they would deal with Lia. Jason knew Lia was an extraordinary person, yet he was also afraid of the girl's tenderness. The pressure that her family might exert would make the girl choose to budge.
