10 | Darmajaya Vs Armandito

That morning, the phone in Dera's room rang. Dera rushed to pick up the phone and now he was connected to someone who was talking from his room.

"Hello..."

"Dera, don't forget thirty more minutes we're meeting ya!"

"Good Sir."

Thirty minutes later, Dera headed to the meeting room. There Nanda was already preparing with the presentation that Dera had completed two days ago. Dera was surprised, only Nanda was in the room, then where Nanda's important clients were scheduled to meet with her today.

"Excuse me sir."

"Ah Dera, come in!"

"Sir? Your client hasn't come?"

"Yes, maybe our client is stuck in traffic. Let's wait another fifteen minutes, if he doesn't come, then we try to connect again."

"Oh good sir."

"God... Dera, can I ask you a favor now?"

"What's up, sir??"

"You can get the documents in my room, it's in the dark blue map. We need that document for this meeting, I forgot to bring it. Can right? Please, Dera!"

"Well Mr. Nanda, I'll take the documents for a moment."

"Thank you, yeah."

Dera went to Nanda's room to retrieve the document that Nanda was referring to. A few minutes after Dera left the meeting room, Nanda's client arrived.

"Good day, Mr. Nanda! I'm sorry I was a little late, bad jammed in the street."

"Siang Sir. It's okay, I understand. Please sit down Sir!"

"thank you. So can we start now?"

"Yes, we can start first while waiting for my secretary to come with some of the documents."

They began to talk about their business deal. A few moments later Dera came.

"Excuse me, sir..."

"Well that's my secretary come sir. Go in Dera! Sit down!"

Dera was so shocked to see the person before her now, Nanda's client. He really did not think that Nanda's client was a person he knew very well.

"You??" nanda's client widened his eyes when he saw the girl before him.

"Om Darma's..."

"Dera, Mr Darma, so you know each other?" Nanda.

"So this girl is your secretary?"

"Yes Sir. Is there something between you and my secretary?"

"Ah no Sir. Let's just continue our business conversation."

"Ehm, okay."

The three of them discussed the important cooperation between Armandito group and Darmajaya group. Nanda company is indeed quite influential in the city, which is why Mr. Darma does not want to miss a great opportunity to work with Nanda to raise his company's provisions.

"Okay, we agreed! Everything will go according to the original plan we set." Nanda initiated the deal.

"Thank you Sir! It is great to work with your company. Moreover, this company runs under the leadership of a young competent CEO like you, Mr. Nanda."

"Ah Mr. Darma overestimates. You are more experienced than I am."

When Dera left the meeting room and left Nanda alone with Mr. Darma there, Mr. Darma had mentioned about Dera.

"Ehm Mr Nanda, since when did your secretary work with you?"

"Ohh Dera, it's been a while, maybe almost a year."

"To my knowledge, the girl is only a High School graduate and has not taken any higher education. You should have gotten a much better secretary than him."

"Pak Darma, I think Dera is quite competent. During this time he even helped me a lot so I could get some great projects. Even though he's just a high school graduate, his abilities need not be doubted."

"Why indeed, sir? Sorry, if I may know, what is your relationship with my secretary? You seem to know him well?"

"No sir, I just know. All I know is, a lower middle-aged girl like her could have taken advantage of her position. Don't be tempted by her seduction and give everything to her!"

Nanda doesn't believe Mr. Darma's words. During this time it was not Dera who seduced or teased him, but instead Nanda who often approached Dera and tried to pursue her love until this moment because Nanda was so crazy about Dera without Dera needing to tease him in the least.

"Sorry sir, it looks like our conversation has widened everywhere. We better deal with it. One more Sir, I hope you don't vilify my secretary in front of me anymore because I don't like it. Dera's my secretary, so Dera's business with me isn't with you."

"Well Mr. Nanda I'm sorry!"

Nanda was so unaccepting to hear someone vilify her girl, whom she loved so much.

•••

Nanda approached Dera who was seen wiping away her tears. Now there are only the two of them in the backyard garden of the office.

"Wheel..."

"Emm Mr Nanda, what's wrong, sir? You need anything?"

"Gak Dera's. I just need your answer now."

"Answer? You mean Mr Nanda?"

"What makes you sad now?"

"Sir, I'm gapapa really."

"Please Dera, this time I asked not as your boss, but as your friend. Now you can tell me anything."

"..."

"Dera, I saw you talking to Mr. Darma. What are you guys talking about? Is he the one who made you sad?"

"..."

"You don't hear my question, Dera?"

"The horror sir."

"Why don't you answer?"

"I don't think that's important to Mr. Nanda. So I don't have to answer all that."

"Who is Mr Darma? What do you have to do with him? Answer me Dera!!" Nanda slightly raised his tone, he now clasped Dera's hand.

"OK if Mr. Nanda wants to know, Mr. Darma is Al's father, my girlfriend."

"And he didn't bless your relationship with his son??"

"Yes, Mr. Nanda's real guess."

"That's why he doesn't like you, even he spares your ugliness in front of me."

"I don't know Om Darma to say anything to you, but if it's so for Mr. Nanda to be disturbed and so the cooperation is messy, I better step down, I'll step down, I will not interfere in the agreement of Mr. Om Darma. If Mr. Nanda wants to fire me, I'm sincere sir."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who wants to fire you?"

"..."

"Dera, the reason Mr. Darma doesn't like you dating Al is what?"

"Why did Mr. Nanda ask the obvious? I'm the same Al, our social status is different."

"Just because of that?"

"Yes. Make Mr. Darma that's important."

"What are you doing to stay with Al? You're just gonna get sicker because of her family's treatment."

"I'm the same Al still love each other sir."

"I don't like seeing you sad. I don't like it when my secretary is ugly."

"..."

"I know it's not my right because it's your business with your girlfriend's family. But since he made my secretary sad, I will teach him a lesson. Darmajaya group I can break with just one finger."
