Jessi leaned back on the sofa and focused on looking fixedly at the man in front of her while putting both hands into her pants pocket. "Is he the mouse?"
Jackson nodded, while the man looked down. A man who was young enough to be greedy for money in front of his eyes. Jessi raised her hand and her men immediately gave the tablet containing the data of the man.
For a moment Jessi frowned, frowning her eyebrows together until they were almost connected. Repeatedly her beautiful fingers moved on the tablet screen and then again saw the appearance of the man in front of her.
From bottom to top there is no sign of branded clothing being used. It can even be seen by Jessi's eyes a hand stitch in the corner of a suit that is clearly not the work of a famous designer. Instead, a patch is torn on the cloth, then spliced by a mother, his wife, or perhaps himself.
After all, the way he erodes company funds clearly looks very amateurish. If the other party dared to steal money here, it was certain that they would play pretty, so they could take even more than the man.
But not with this guy. He instantly took at once in a single pull and did not escape. If you know for sure will be caught carrying such a large amount of money, maybe he should just hide in his house and no longer need to show his nose.
"Say your excuses!" After observing for a long time, Jessi finally began to interrogate the man in front of her.
Meanwhile, the man who was introgated looked to have started to get nervous, making him deathly pale. Slowly his mouth began to open, but it was very difficult to tell the reason.
"S–me." His lips seemed reluctant to speak the truth. Inwardly wondering, what if the lady in front of him even asked for compensation for the funds that had been used in fact, the money was still not for the cost of hospital and care of his mother.
"I what? Speak clearly before I cut off your tongue right now!" Jessi spoke so forcefully, that it made the man shrink even more because of the pressure.
He decides to admit his mistake and repeatedly prostrates himself before Jessi. "I'm sorry, Miss. Forgive me.. Everything is my own fault for being too greedy." It was not enough for him to stick his forehead on the floor to make Jessi growled because of his actions.
Jessi was not God, so what was the man prostrating to her. As a fellow human being he did not want to regard others as slaves.
"I don't want to hear an apology from you. But, I want to know your reason!" He stepped closer to the man, then crouched down to get closer and aligned himself in speaking. "How's your mother doing?"
Instantly the man raised his head to look at Jessi who was now right in front of him. A beautiful face with age may be the same as him does not make the woman lose her charisma as a company leader.
"A–what do you mean, Miss?" Nervously the man answered Jessi's question. In his heart wondered, whether the woman in front of him already knew about him.
Of course it is true if Jessi already knows the reality of the condition of the man because everything has been explained by the data provided by Jackson earlier.
"I asked you how your mother is doing?" Jessi again emphasized her question to the man. Highlight sharp eyes do not even blink when staring at the interlocutor makes Jessi look more creepy. There was no smile on that beautiful face, only seriousness and firmness in speaking.
"Ba–baik, Miss." The man looked down again, he did not dare to look at his interlocutor while lying.
The innocence of the man in front of her could be clearly seen in Jessi's eyes. Although, the man tried to cover it up, but the look on his face already explained everything.
Jessi stood up from her position. "Why don't you borrow on the financials?"
"S–me."
"Are you stuttering?!" The sound snapped so loudly that the three men were shocked by Jessi's actions.
"No, Miss." The man immediately fluently spoke when he heard the terrible tone of Jessi that sounded like a threat. "I don't dare borrow money because the amount is too large."
"How much money did you take?"
"Around US$ 100,000, Miss."
"Give me a logical reason to let go of an office rat like you!" Jessi looked back at him deeply, despite already knowing the reason, but she wanted to know if the man would speak honestly or not.
Doubt began to fill the man's mind, even if Jessi asked for back the money that was brought to run, he could no longer return it.
The man exhaled for a moment before speaking. "I used it for my mother's medical expenses." Finally he prefers to follow his conscience to admit mistakes that have been made.
"Your mother's sick?" The man nodded. "Explain the conditions!"
Instantly the man was again surprised, not angry at the fantastic amount he took running, but Jessi instead asked the condition of his mother now. "He has heart disease, Miss. The cost of treatment is very expensive, plus the donor heart is very difficult to get from the hospital?"
Hearing the last sentence of the man Jessi tilted her head to look at the downed man. Maybe he was hiding his sadness over the condition of his mother, to make him willing to do various ways to save the mother.
"You bought an illegal heart?"
Surprised, everyone was surprised. Jessi could guess it just because of a simple sentence. "Yes, Miss."
For a moment Jessi scowled her painful temples. The purchase of human organs is not related to the case of Olivia and Dion. Means the guy's dealing with the Virgoun mafia. A smile rose on his face thinking about it.
"You bought it from the mafia?" The man nodded.
"But the money I gave him was enough for his advance."
"Ck ck ck, they're really good at taking advantage of the situation." Jessi clucked at the employee's confession. The cost of illegal organs is quite expensive when compared to waiting for a turn from the hospital. "Is your mother in a very bad condition?"
"He can live on the help of a tool that has sustained him for a year."
"Why don't you give up taking care of your mother and let her die peacefully?" Jessi tried to provoke the man in front of her with her hurtful sentence.
As a result, the man immediately stood up from his position and spoke out loudly because of pent-up emotions. "Miss, don't be careless when you talk! A mother fought hard for the lives of her children, then why should I give up saving my mother's life?!"
It was like a lightning strike in broad daylight. Being able to make Jessi feel pain in the heart. A mother's affection is incomparable to anything in the world, but she can never get it, let alone feel and remember it.
"Please take care of your attitude!" said Jackson.
"What's wrong with my words? I was poor, but my mother was the only precious thing I had." The man continued to speak loudly. About the mother is able to make it rise in blood just because of a simple sentence.
Jessi raised her hand as a sign that Jackson would no longer reprimand her and let the man vent his emotions.
The man immediately covered both hands on his face, unconsciously when imagining his mother's face lying in the hospital making warm circles gather in his eye sockets. A sense of tightness burst into the chest like a big rock hitting him without warning.
Since childhood he only had a mother, a woman who always worked hard to meet his needs every day. However, never once complained about the situation.
Comes from a mistake, does not make the mother abort him and keep taking care of him. Despite the many maki scolding they had received long ago, his mother was always strong and strengthened him.
Mother always said that she was not a mistake, but the most beautiful gift entrusted by God to her. Even the mother was willing not to marry because her future husband refused to accept her as a child.
With the struggle of such a mother, how could he be willing to leave the only person who had loved him sincerely and selflessly.
A child's affection is clearly visible on the man's face. It was certainly captured by Jessi's eagle eyes.
"I'll help you, but you only have one choice!"
"I mean, Miss."
"If you were so devoted to your mother, would you be able to exchange her for your life?"
