Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 87

"Sorry ..."

Ana covered her mouth with both hands. Or maybe cover up his embarrassment because of Marius, Lucas, and Sophie who were looking at him.

"I thought you knew" Naomi said.

Ana shook her head. No one ever told him about it. He never thought about it either.

"Well, the way Lucas talked to Marius was so relaxed. Turns ... Ah ... I've seen photos of the three of them in Marius' room. I guess they just know each other."

"Lucas was adopted when he was 6 years old, Marius was probably about 8 years old. A year later, they were sent to France" Naomi said.

Another new story about Marius that Ana knows. He began to think he did not know Marius much. Marius knew him well. He knows almost everything about Ana.

At that very instant, Ana felt ashamed of herself. She proudly told everyone in the room that she loved Marius. He kissed her in front of a lot of eyes and cameras. But, if now he thought about it again, did he know Marius as well as Marius knew him?

"But, wait!" Anna suddenly remembered something. "I've been wanting to ask this for a long time."

Ana attacks Naomi with a look in her eyes that pierces her heart.

"What's going on between you and Lucas? Why is it that every time I see you, I see Lucas?"

Naomi turned her eyes away from Ana. His head was raised high so that his gaze would not meet Ana's eyes when he turned her to the right or left. His feet began to step back slowly.

"Ryu, where are you? Let's go home," Naomi said.

Ana immediately catches Naomi's arm. "No! Who let you go home? You are forbidden to go home before explaining it to me."

For a moment, an interesting scene of attraction occurred between them. Naomi tries to get herself out of Ana, and Ana has to keep Naomi from leaving.

"Okay, okay, I explained. But let go first," said Naomi who finally relented. Ana also let go of her grip.

But Naomi sees that as an opportunity. He immediately ran out of the room.

"Nao!"

Ana, who feels lied to, immediately follows Naomi. Behind him, Ryu and Rain followed after them.

................

Meanwhile, from his seat, Marius noticed the behavior of Ana and Naomi. He didn't know what they were arguing about, and he basically didn't think much of it either.

He was just looking for another flurry, while his grandmother was talking to Lucas. And paying attention to Ana was a joyous rush for him at this moment.

"She's a pretty girl. He's smart too. No wonder Agnes liked it so much," Sophie said suddenly. Fortunately, Marius heard it, so he quickly came back to pay attention to Sophie, his grandmother.

"She is indeed beautiful" Marius said briefly. But, there was a sense of pride when he said it.

"Did Grandma know? He asks Ana to work for him just so Ana doesn't meet another man."

Marius glared at Lucas.

"He's a real bully" Lucas continued.

But Sophie did not hold back her laughter. "Don't be too hard on him. He'll leave you if you keep on like that."

"He won't" said Marius quietly. He is still upset by what Lucas told Sophie. "I won't let him go."

Sophie laughed again at Marius who was sulking.

"You ... go to France and take your partner there. We're going to introduce her to a big family" said Sophie, whom she refers not only to Marius, but also to Lucas.

"If you need to, get married there. Your uncle and aunt would have loved to have it ready."

Marius and Lucas grabbed Sophie's two different hands. With both of their hands, Sophie's hands were held gently.

"We'll definitely be there" said Marius.

She hugged Sophie, and Lucas hugged her.

"Thank you for coming, grand-mere," said Marius again.

Sophie hugged her two grandchildren. He loved them very much because they were the proud sons of Ernest, his son-in-law and also Agnes, his favorite daughter. At that time, he was hoping that Adam would be with them.

................

As it turned out, the video shown in the room was not a video passed as a will. The video was just a video made for practice, as Agnes called it. Therefore, the video was never endorsed as a will.

However, lawyers think the video might come in handy someday. And because of that too, the lawyer kept it as a separate document. Turns out, it's useful.

Overall, the entire video is true. The 'donating all DYNE assets' section is a joke. Agnes just wanted to prank Ernest. At that time, Ernest was almost angry at Agnes, as the lawyer recalled him.

But, the 30% stake Agnes gave to Ana was correct. Thus, automatically Ana is part of the board of commissioners.

And during the board's inaugural meeting after the incident, Ana became nervous to death when she was forced to attend. Because he doesn't know what to do.

Another good thing that happened after the incident was the appointment of Lucas as Chief Operating Officer or COO, or representative of Marius as CEO.

With the appointment of Lucas, it means Lucas can replace Marius at any time and for even bigger tasks than before. Because his authority is now more.

"So far he has been prepared for it. It's also papa's request to give him a better position in DYNE" Marius said.

But Lucas is different again. "Actually the same. The work I do is basically the same. Marius purposely did this so that my duties would be more and more."

Ana can't stop laughing when Lucas starts nagging.

And the best thing between all of them is the relationship between Naomi and Lucas.

Naomi finally tells Ana how they ended up together. Ana's biggest reaction was happiness. He even cried as soon as he heard the whole story.

What can Ana expect other than Naomi's happiness? Her best friend has been through many things, ranging from being betrayed by her own lover for not wanting to take responsibility for Naomi's pregnancy, to being forced to become a single parent for Ryu.

"Don't worry. The way Lucas talks may seem to impress on his own. But I've known him for years. He was the one who never hesitated if he was already convinced. I'm sure she must have been when she decided to love Naomi. She will definitely love Naomi and Ryu as well" Marius said.

But, after that incident as well, not everyone felt happiness. Some people still had to make amends with tears of blood.

For a few weeks, all the national media had only published news about Nora and Mr. Barnett. Nora who is pregnant is rumored to be nearing miscarriage. It seems like it can be saved again.

The hot topic of the news was his relationship with his uncle. The father of the child Nora conceived was her father's younger sister, Mr. Barnett. They've been in contact for a long time. However, his goal in marrying Marius was to disguise his relationship.

Mr. Barnett is rumored to be very angry. He hasn't seen Nora since. Some say Mr. Barnett sent an assassin to kill his brother. No one knows the truth. But ever since the rumor circulated, the whereabouts of his sister was never known.

And, three months after that, after everything was gradually resolved, Marius took Ana somewhere.

At first, Marius did not say anything about where they were going. He just asked Ana to prepare.

When they arrive at the airport, Marius tells Ana about their destination.

"We're going to pick up Doni's Om" said Marius.

Anna hugged Marius. That day Marius deliberately did not do any work just to accompany Ana.

Ana finally understands the reason for Lucas' appointment as COO. Maybe so he can do this.

When Ana arrives at the place, Ana can see everything Marius says is true. He gave a beautiful place to his father.

A comfortable three-story house with a spacious courtyard. In front of the house was a beautiful lake. Autumn causes the leaves to look yellow. But it does not diminish its beauty. He had just arrived there, but he already liked this place. And Ana was sure so was her papa.

A waiter who came to tell them that Doni was fishing in the lake. Ana rushed there. Especially when Marius tells her that he intentionally did not tell her if they were coming.

As Ana ran, getting closer and closer, Ana saw someone sitting on a folding chair. Ana smiled broadly at this sight.

"Papa .." he called.

Doni immediately turned around.he looked surprised to see Ana signaled she really did not know that Ana was coming. Ana ran to him.

"Papa, Ana is kangen" Ana said in her arms.

Doni was too happy with the moment. He could not hold back his tears. His embrace of Ana grew stronger.

"Papa too, Ana. Papa too."

That afternoon, Ana's moment of happiness was too big. Because her tears kept coming down without her being able to control.
