Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Modus

The mood suddenly quiet. There was no sound in the room, only the sound of the clock ticking the wall kept turning.

Tania fell silent, not knowing what to answer. Should he be honest, saying that among them there was a special relationship that even brought a handsome little boy into this world? Or avoid keeping a good name together? However, if he closes the meeting of facts that happened in the past, is not it the same as he does not appreciate Xander and the marriage that occurred between them.

Gathering courage in the chest, Tania decides to tell Johan that she and Xander were once a couple. After this, Johan's assessment of him changed.

Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. "Sir, actually me and Mr. Xander had a love affair when they were both in college. That relationship took us even more seriously. However, our marriage did not last long. Mr. Xander and I separated when our household was just corn."

Johan just smiled faintly, already suspected that between Tania and Xander must have a special relationship. However, he did not want to think too much before hearing Tania's own confession about her relationship with one of his company's important clients.

"Is Mr Xander the real father of Arsen, your son?" johan asked Tania.

With her head lowered and both hands clutching each other, Tania said, "Right, sir. Mr. Xander is Arsenio's real father. However, he did not know that when we separated, in my stomach was Arsenio. I left without telling Mr. Xander or Mr. and Mrs Jonathan."

Take a deep breath. Now it is answered that the puzzle is lodged in Johan's head. I wondered why Tania seemed nervous when she first met Xander. Then, why Xander's attitude changed immediately when he knew that the architecture that would be in charge of designing and supervising the construction of the mall was Tania Maharani.

"Lantas, do Mr. Xander and Mr. Jonathan currently know that Arsenio is their descendant?" Again and again Johan asked the question that came to his mind. Honestly, he was not satisfied with Tania's answer.

"Already, Sir. Arsenio already knew that Mr. Xander was his biological father. He knew that fact before I told him. I don't know where to hear it, but Arsenio was so angry that she hacked the company's defense system and sent her a virus to vent her frustration."

Johan rounded his eyes perfectly. Quite surprised by the words that Tania said. "What's? J-so .. Your cute and adorable son is a hacker, is that it?" tanyanya did not believe. Johan thinks Arsenio is a normal kid just like the kids out there. However, he seems to have a privilege compared to children his age.

"Really, Sir. I also just found out if it turns out that Arsenio is the mastermind behind the turmoil that occurred some time ago at the V Pramono company. Lack of attention makes me careless until finally do not know if all this time Arsenio is devising a strategy to destroy the company led by his own father."

Johan's voice stuck in the esophagus. He was speechless, everything Tania said made the middle-aged man dumbfounded to death.

"I'm sorry, sir, if you've felt you've been lied to. However, for God's sake, I don't intend to hide anything from Mr. Johan. I just want to do well without anyone knowing that I used to be Mr. Xander's ex-wife. I don't want everyone to assume that I have the trust of you because I used to be Mr. Xander's ex-wife."

A small smile adorned Johan's face. He was quite impressed by Tania's life principles. Tania is willing to hide her identity to show everyone that she has earned that trust for her own hard work, not with the help of Xander or anyone else.

"You take it easy, Tania, I don't feel like I've been lied to by you at all." Johan got up from the chair and walked up to Tania who was sitting expectantly on the other side. "I feel proud of you. Not only are you good at impressing clients with your designs, but you have a principle of life that deserves a thumbs up. Mr. Akmal did not wrongly recommend you to work here. You really should be used as a role model by the architects in this company."

Eyebrows intertwine when she sees her ex-husband's name appear on the phone screen. Why would he call me? inner Tania.

Not wanting the ringing of the phone to continue ringing which actually disrupted everyone's concentration, Tania immediately shifted the green button.

"Hello. What's the matter calling me?" ask Tania without saying stale. Well, he most dislikes if his activities are disturbed by others. Unless the one who contacted him was Arsenio or Surti, he couldn't possibly put on the sour face he had today.

On the other side Xander held a sweet smile on the corner of his lips. Just a few hours apart has made the man miss the ex-wife he still loves.

"Today you're busy, aren't you? I just happen to want to take you out to lunch. There's something important I want to talk about in four eyes. If you don't mind, I'll come to the company and we'll have lunch together at the restaurant where we used to date."

Tania spread her eyes to the right and left, watching if her co-worker was eavesdropping on the conversation between her and Xander. "Why should we find everything? Why not just take the phone?" lamented the woman.

I don't know, Tania feels uncomfortable if she and Xander have to meet and have lunch together in a place that holds many good memories when they were still dating first.

The sound of rough breathing comes from Xander. "It's about our son, Arsen. I can't talk about our son over the phone. That's why I asked you to meet this afternoon. If you're busy, it's okay next time we talk about it."

Disillusioned. That's what Xander feels right now. Intentions want to let go of longing, meeting a woman who is loved much, but apparently Tania reluctant to meet face to face so inevitably she had to give up for the common good. Even if we can't meet today, isn't there tomorrow?

Tania who heard the tone of Xander's voice sounded lethargic became unbearable. I don't know why she always looks weak in front of her ex-husband.

Take a deep breath. Tania again replied, "Yes already, I accepted your invitation. But I don't want you to pick me up here. We'll meet at Lovely's restaurant at twelve in the afternoon. Remember, don't pick me up at the office!" The woman emphasized the last sentence before ending the phone call.

The corner of Xander's lips is pulled upwards to form an arc-like arc. "I finally got to see Tania again." Then, he rushed into the bathroom to clean his body. He wants to look perfect when he meets the most beautiful ex.
