Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 25

I was surprised to hear what Edward said. Could it be that I misheard her or that she was drunk to the point of saying that sentence unconsciously.

"Om drunk huh?"

"I I look drunk. I seriously. Be my date, I need a partner. How's it?"

"Oh kidding? You know that Lila and I are friends. What if he knows. Lila would definitely be disappointed and angry with me," I snorted at the man.

"Then you don't have to tell Lila. You just need to hide it from Lila."

"Huh ...."

"I'll pay off your debt and finance your sister. I'll also give your brother a job. Ohh yes, and one more I will guarantee your family life. Isn't that what you expected." Edward stood up, as if he was leaving.

"Think carefully! A bid like this doesn't come twice. Don't you want to see your family live a happy and peaceful life."

Of course I want to, that's why I work so hard to make my family happy. Although it is difficult because we have to pursue debt at all times. Want to eat well, want to go for a walk or just snack on the side of the road just have to think repeatedly. Still choose to set aside money to pay debt installments and take care of your sister.

"But why should I? Why did you choose me?" I want an explanation. It feels strange, om Edward can get women of any kind if you want.

"You want to know, come on." Edward dragged my hand.

"Ehh where are we Om. Waitaminute! My work isn't done." I screamed at the man. My hand was pulled towards the exit. The people who saw us, stared with astonished faces.

"Let's just let me give your boss permission."

"Huh."

It turns out Edward took me out of there to his car parked outside the club.

"Come in."

I complied and got into the car without a fight. Several times, the boss called me but I ignored it.

"Om, where are we going?" ask me when the car gets out of the parking lot.

"To my apartment. You asked me why you should be my partner, right? I'll explain it there."

"Why not explain it here now? Why go to the apartment?"

"Bawls. We'll find a more comfortable place, I'll still have a drink."

My lips curled and threw away my face. Very upset to talk to a person who like himself like Edward was. On the way, my phone rang in the morning. Of course it was from my boss, he must have been looking for me maybe because there were customers coming looking or because he was worried.

"Who's calling?"

"Bos called me, Om did go that way," I blamed him.

"Let me do the talking."

"More." I handed my phone to the man after sliding the green button to pick up the call from the boss.

"Hallo, Ima .. Where are you? I was so worried when my men said you were taken away. Are you okay, where are you Ima. I'll send people if anything happens to you." The boss calls me Ima, from the word Pomegranate. From her tone she seemed to be really worried, probably because the incident back then made her feel very guilty towards me. I can hear it because the boss is talking so loud.

I'm waiting for Om Edward to talk to the boss.

"Fifth is with me, tonight he will accompany me so he will not go back there. I'll send the money."

My eyes widened hearing the man say such a thing. The boss must have thought I was starting to peddle myself.

"No, don't bother Pomegranate again by contacting him. I'll take care of him tonight" Edward said.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry, sir. Then I won't bother you anymore, it's quiet that Pomegranate is with you. All right, have fun Pomegranate."

The call was cut off, but there was still something I wanted to talk to the boss about.

"It is."

"Huft, Om make it all runyam!"

The car we were riding stopped in the basement of an apartment.

"Let's get off" the man asked. He opened the door because I didn't come down. "Want me to carry?" He was down but I hurriedly pushed his body.

"What the hell, I can walk alone."

"Wear this, don't let a lot of people see your body."

Om Edward handed me his great coat. Told me to use it. The clothes worn are minimal, yes because I was working earlier.

We took the elevator in the basement to the fifteenth floor. I was standing a little far away from the man. Lean on the elevator wall. We did not open our voices until the elevator doors opened. I just followed him from behind to in front of an apartment unit.

Edward pressed the password and the door opened.

"Come in," he said.

"Hmm." I went inside. Look at the apartment from the front door.

"Deplace your shoes with these slippers." Edward told me to wear sandals that were much larger than my feet. "Nobody came here but me and my friends, so no sandals for women."

Why does it feel like I can't believe Edward never brought a woman to that place. Especially if you are with your friends.

I walked slowly deeper, looking around. The apartment looked even wider than the house I was living in. The place is neat and clean, the smell is also fragrant. Maybe he cleaned up the place himself.

"Sit down, I'll take a drink."

"Hm."

Having already entered the apartment, I took off the suit I was wearing and placed it on the sofa. I just sat down. Still with my eyes around.

Perhaps the man went to this place often to have fun with his friends. Unfortunately, she prefers to leave her lonely daughter and prefers to be with her friends.

Edward came with a bottle of whiskey and couch water for me.

"I know what you're thinking. This place I rarely go to, only when I have a lot of thoughts and my friends invite you to gather. I didn't want Lila to see me think much and she got overwhelmed. Then I also did not want to take my friends home because they would definitely get drunk. It's better here. If it's at home, I don't want Lila to be distracted."

"Ohh good, I guess Om often leaves Lila for fun. Poor Lila was lonely at home."

"Yes, I know. All because of his greedy mother and abandoning his daughter. He grew up with a lack of love. But I'm proud because he's so understanding, rarely complaining to me."

"Even so, Om should have sensitized the donk. Poor Lila, she would want to spend more time with her papa. At least, give him a little attention even if he never complains." I'm a little emotional. If I remember how innocent Lila looked when talking about her parents, I was very concerned.

"Yes, I'll try to get closer to my daughter." Edward sipped his drink again.

"So what do you want to talk about? We've arrived, so tell me?" I said while folding my hands.
