Don't chase me, Beautiful!
Resigns

In accordance with his promise and careful consideration, Rista finally submitted a letter of resignation. He met with President Arta Fashion in his study.

Without further ado, Rista placed the letter on the desk.

"You're resigning?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's true, you just want to use me!"

"It's up to you to talk about me" said Rista.

"Alright then, I accept your resignation letter," Darren grabbed the paper and read it.

Rista removed the ring from her fingers, "I returned it."

Darren looked seriously at his lover.

"There's no connection between us anymore, don't ever look for me!" Rista left the room with teary eyes.

He also cleaned his desk and stepped out of Arta Fashion building.

Darren clenched his hand.

Rista took a taxi, arriving at the apartment he told Elisa to take care of things.

"Where are we going, Rista?"

"We'll get out of here, ma'am. Darren and I are out of wedlock" he replied.

"Don't joke, Rista. What made you cancel the wedding?"

"Darren accused me of being a potential traitor just because I am the grandson of the owner of Fashion Charisma and he will rethink my marriage" Rista explained with trembling lips trying to hold back tears.

"Son, don't be rash like this. You can talk about this well" advised Elisha.

"There's nothing to talk about, Darren doesn't trust me anymore" he said.

"Where are we going to live?"

"While we're renting a small inn after that I'm going to find a rented house" he replied.

Elisha finally obeys his daughter's orders, he still hopes Rista can marry Darren.

-

His son came home lethargic and Clarissa asked, "Why are you?"

Darren then held the woman who had given birth to him. "We failed to get married, Ma."

"How can you?" Clarissa doesn't believe it.

"Rista is the granddaughter of the owner of Charisma Fashion" she replied.

"What's? Why did he just tell us?"

Darren tells the story of how Rista met his father's family. Because previously the woman had revealed it in the car as they fought on the road.

"Not necessarily Rista betrayed you!" clarissa.

"He will be a competitor of Arta Fashion in the future" Darren said.

"Aren't you able to feel the sincerity from her?"

"Just a sincere Mama!"

"Darren, are you sure of your decision?"

"Yes, Ma."

"Hopefully Rista could find a man who genuinely loved her and loved her" Clarissa said.

"Mama, instead of standing up for her son, prays for others" she protested.

"For Mama, Rista was like a child. She's a good, hard-working woman" Clarissa deliberately prides herself on.

"Ma, one day he will destroy Arta Fashion" said Darren.

"That's just your feeling" he chanted. "You go to the kitchen, you take a shower!" Clarissa hurried to leave her son.

-

Dinner was going on but there was no chatter. Clarissa chose to silence her son because of a decision she could not take for granted.

Devan watched his wife and son not talk to each other. "What's wrong?" open conversation.

"Nothing, Pa," Darren replied.

"Mama was full and sleepy" Clarissa ended her meal, leaving the table.

"What's the matter, Darren?"

"Nothing, Pa."

Devan ended his dinner and followed his wife in the room.

Devan opens the door and sees Clarissa reading a book. "What happened to you and Darren?"

"You didn't ask him?"

"All right," Clarissa put the book on the nightstand. "Your son cancelled the wedding" she explained.

"What's? The wedding is only a month away" Devan said.

"I don't know with her way of mind just because Rista is the granddaughter of Sophia Karisma she canceled her wedding" she said.

"What's? You're not wrong?"

"Darren had already told her everything, Rista knew a few months ago if she was the granddaughter of the owner of Charisma Fashion."

"The reason she's just because of her grandson Rista?" ask Devan.

"Darren is afraid if Rista becomes a traitor to our company" Clarissa explained.

"God, why would he think like that?"

"Okay, I don't know either."

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

A week later....

Yuno has returned to the company, he already found out from his wife if Rista does not work anymore at Arta Fashion.

Natasha finds out from Varrel if Sella tells him. The three of them met at a mall.

Yuno walked into Darren's room, "Why did you fire Rista?"

"I didn't fire him but he resigned."

"You're not defending it?"

"For what? It's over, including our wedding plans" Darren replied.

"What's your reason for doing that, Darren?"

"He's the grandson of Karisma Fashion, you know that the company is our competitor and that Rista could be a traitor" Darren replied.

"You don't believe it?"

Darren did not answer.

"Didn't you love her so much that you accused her of that?"

"I think love can change when it comes to power" Darren replied.

"I hope that after this you will regret wasting her," Yuno passed.

Meanwhile, Rista and her mother now live in a luxurious house not far from Sophia's residence. Yes, because of information from Varrel, the old woman was looking for the whereabouts of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

From today, she will be part of Charisma Fashion. It made Sophia happy, she did not have to bother separating her grandson with the President of Arta Fashion.

Rista accompanied Tania and Bram into the Karisma Fashion building, some employees lowered their heads in salute.

Tania introduced herself to Rista in front of her employees.

"Good morning everyone, my name is Ayumi Charista," she smiled.

"Morning, Miss." The employees answered him simultaneously.

"Just call Miss Rista, I'm here as a designer. I hope the cooperation," said Rista.

Yes, Miss Rista!" the employees answered again.

After the introduction, Rista walked into his room. He looked at a new place. Yes, she became one of the employees of Karisma Fashion.

Rista pulled the corner of her lips considering the words of her ex-husband, should she and Darren hand out the invitation, trying on a dress turned out not to go with her expectations. Their relationship ended a few days ago.

-

Darren tells someone to keep an eye on Rista, information provided by his man says that his ex-girlfriend does not live in the apartment anymore but has moved to a luxury house not far from the residence of the owner of Karisma Fashion.

"It turns out that my guess is correct, you are indeed a traitor," Darren clenched his hand.

"You can go!" Darren stood up from the chair, he stepped towards his study.

Yuno came to provide some papers that had to be signed. The man without saying much, put it on the President's desk.

"Now he lives close to Sophia Karisma" Darren said before Yuno left.

"That's natural since Rista is his granddaughter."

"Surely he will work at the company" Darren said again.

"Yes, no problem. Since he doesn't work here anymore, that's his right" Yuno said casually.

"What I said happened, he wasn't as good as I thought he was" he said.

"As much as you can judge what she looks like, I'm going out to lunch with my wife" Yuno left her best friend's office.

This week Rista was not at Arta Fashion making Darren feel lost. "Why think about it?"

The news of Rista being one of the successors of Arta Fashion circulated in social media and print. Oma Sophia deliberately announced and introduced the prospective successor of her company.

Clarissa read the news about Rista on her phone and put it back and opened her glasses. "Darren you are so stupid!"
