Echelon Systems
Perplexes

A police officer who had previously received testimony from Alia and Mr. Danang immediately tried to give an explanation to Vivian.

"I'm sorry about Inspector Vivian... Actually the young man was not wrong but six men who are currently being treated in the hospital..." Said the police officer nervously.

Hearing a statement from one of the police officers there, Vivian grieved and looked back at Nathan.

"Now you guys go and if I ever see you again, damn man, I'll teach you a lesson right then and there!" Said Vivian before leaving the place.

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief at being able to break free from a creepy woman like Vivian, but now he seemed to get the next problem when he got a sharp gaze from Alia.

"You'll have to explain what happened next..." Alia said before waltzing away from there.

Nathan looks confused with Alia who suddenly seems angry at him when his attitude was very considerate.

Mr. Danang who saw Nathan pensively patted the young man on the shoulder, and prayed for his safety because he knew that Nathan would get into trouble from his daughter

The two men then left the police station and got into a taxi where Alia was waiting for them inside.

Nathan then sits on the back bench with Alia while Mr. Danang sits next to the taxi driver.

An awkward feeling began to be felt between Alia and Nathan even the atmosphere around them was tense, while Mr. Danang seemed to be chatting casually with the taxi driver.

Nathan's cell phone suddenly rings and he notices a call coming in from Marsella. For a moment Nathan was silent because he felt noticed by Alia before he finally raised the call.

"Yes what's wrong?" Ask Nathan.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm already at the Taste Resto restaurant, where are you?" Marsella.

"I'm on my way there and I'll be up to ten minutes, just wait there..." Nathan replies before he ends the call with Marsella.

After hanging up the phone from Marsella, for some reason Nathan now feels cold and goosebumps.

'AC the car seems too cold...' Inner Nathan while rubbing his hands to feel warm.

On the other hand Alia looked glanced at Nathan with sharp eyes and felt suspicious of him.

"Who called you? What's that from your girlfriend?" Alia asked in a probing and suspicious tone.

Alia had previously met her lover Nathan when the man came to his restaurant while carrying the woman. Nathan even often tells Alia about her ex-lover.

Nathan kept his phone and turned to Alia. "It looks like you misunderstood me and him breaking up a month ago. This was just a call from my co-worker..."

The look on Alia's face was immediately shocked to hear the news that she had been waiting for a long time. "Eh... Why break up, haven't you guys been dating long enough?" Alia asked with a look of face as if she felt sad even though she was actually very happy at this moment.

Nathan just smiled and did not want to answer questions from Alia because he did not want to remember about his former lover.

Nathan even now feels ashamed of himself who while dating his ex always according to even willing to give his life savings at that time.

Seeing the gloomy-looking Nathan Alia immediately patted the man on the shoulder. Although he felt very happy at this time on the other hand Alia felt sorry for Nathan.

A few moments later the taxi was boarded by Mr. Danang, Alia, and Nathan had arrived at the restaurant and went inside.

"You wait a minute and don't go home, I'll get you some ointment for your back..." Alia said before leaving Nathan.

Nathan wants to stop Alia but is late because he already feels that his back is slightly improving. Nathan sighed and searched for the whereabouts of Marsella.

A beautiful career woman looks to be waiting for someone and Nathan who turns it directly to the woman.

The woman was none other than Marsella and when she saw a handsome man was walking towards her which made her a little nervous but still indifferent as usual.

Marsella stood up after hearing Nathan's name. "Sorry sir, it's time to interrupt, please sit down..." Reply Marsella with a smile.

Nathan nodded and sat opposite Marsella. Now he feels like he is dreaming because he can sit facing the former leader in the company where he used to work.

"Want to drink or eat something? Let me order first..." Ask Marsella politely.

Nathan shook his head and said, "There's no need for us to get straight to the point and if you can't call me Father because I'm not that old..."

"I'm sorry... Then you can read these documents and arrive at them..." Marsella said, handing over a chocolate map to Nathan.

Nathan receives a chocolate map from Marsella and immediately brings the documents inside before arriving.

When Nathan was reading the contents of the documents about the agreement and the transfer of shares to him, Marsella secretly from earlier was watching his face carefully.

Marsella seemed unable to take her eyes off Nathan because she did not expect that the person who bought 40% of his company's shares was still very young.

When he noticed Nathan, Marsella's cheeks blushed and her heart beat faster than usual when he saw the man unbuttoned two of his clothes.

With an uncontrollable gaze Marsella looked at Nathan's nape and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. But soon he finally realized when Nathan gave back a chocolate map containing documents that were signed.

"Mr Nathan can keep those documents and there's no need to give them to me..." Say Marsella while giving back the chocolate map to Nathan.

Nathan just nodded and rolled up the brown map with important documents and then put them in the bag.

Marsella who saw the documents worth hundreds of trillions rolled up felt like crying because Nathan casually did the deed. But he could do nothing considering it was Nathan's property.

"From now on Mr. Nathan will be the CEO of the company in my place. This is because you own 40% of the shares and I only have 20%, for 40% of the shares are held by several different investors..." Marsella.

Hearing what was said by Marsella clearly made Nathan become panicked because he himself did not want to lead a company let alone a giant company like this.

"I'm sorry Miss Marsella but I have to refuse the position, it's better for you because I don't really know how to manage a company..." Nathan replied with an awkward laugh.

Here Marsella is confused because Nathan rejected the highest position in a company that is even more surprising is that the man can buy stocks for hundreds of trillions as if he just wanted to waste money.

"I'd previously thanked Mr. Nathan, if you hadn't bought the stock maybe the company my parents built for decades would have gone bankrupt..." Marsella said, bowing her head.

"I-Yes it doesn't matter, after all I don't know what to use my money for. So don't think too much..." Nathan said as he scratched his non-itchy back of the head.

Marsella replied to Nathan with a smile that she felt very lucky because the man bought 40% of the family company. If only it was someone else maybe he has now lost his honor because he was forced to have his family company get an injection of funds in a crisis like this.

"Sorry Mr. Nathan it seems I have to go back, once again I say thank you..." Marsella.

Before Nathan could answer her, Marsella suddenly gave a kiss on her cheek and just left.

Nathan was instantly speechless as he held onto his cheek that got a kiss from Marsella's soft lips.

"Is this a dream?" Nathan muttered that he still did not expect that he was kissed by a woman as beautiful as Marsella.

Bughhh!!!

Someone suddenly hit Nathan's back which made him feel pain for the umpteenth time. When Nathan checked he found Alia staring at him sharply.

"Why did you hit me all of a sudden!?" Ask Nathan.

"I'm just helping you to distinguish between dreams and reality! Now sit there I'll apply the ointment to your back!" Reply Alia with annoyance.

Although a little confused by the arrival of Alia who was immediately angry with him, Nathan then sat down to be applied ointment by Alia.
