Grasping Longs
Part~62

That night Demian was seen staring at the monitor screen in front of him with a cynical look.

An online news story ran her divorce case today, they assume that she and Monica divorced because she was barren and could not give children to Monica and they also suspect that Olive is not her biological child.

"Junk news." Demian grumbled as he turned off his cigarette butt in the ashtray.

Not long after Victor knocked on the door from the outside, not even Demian told him to enter the man had opened the door first.

When new in the smell of cigarette smoke directly pierced Victor's nose.

"You're smoking again sir ?" he said as he stepped towards Demian.

While Demian seemed to cluck annoyed to see his assistant.

"It's not that you're also banned by doctors from drinking alcohol." Victor immediately removed the whiskey bottle with his glass and a pack of cigarettes from Demian's desk.

"Currently, you're acting like my wife." Demian grumbled.

Instead of responding to Demian's words, Victor stared at the news on the screen of his supervisor's monitor.

"I will clear up all the news that is circulating today about your divorce, sir, I don't know who spread the news but I will make sure the perpetrator receives his punishment" said Victor.

Demian seemed to be breathing out violently. "Go home Vic, tonight I'll stay here." he ordered.

"But do not do anything unhealthy sir, you already know that cigarettes and alcohol are strictly prohibited by doctors" said Victor reminded.

"Ck, you're so chatty Vic. What can a broken hearted man do ?" cibir Demian's.

"I don't know, sir. I've never been heartbroken." said Victor innocently.

"May't be too busy, once in a while date then you will feel what it feels like to be heartbroken." Demian sneered again, how can people who do not understand love steal it.

"How can I not be busy sir, my work is almost 24 hours." muttered Victor inwardly.

"It seems I don't intend to date you, sir, seeing you like this I think that woman is very troublesome." said Victor.

"Ck." Demian seemed to be upset.

"You immediately take care of Ricko's custody on my behalf" he said, which immediately made Victor round his eyes in surprise.

"You're serious, sir ?" said Victor.

"You think I'm kidding ?" hardik Demian was upset, his assistant always answered him.

"Do you have no pity on Mrs Ariana, 8 years she was pregnant and raised Ricko alone and now you will take it." said Victor advising.

"You think I'd like my son to stay and call that son of a bitch father, I'm the only father." Demian said, clenching his hand as he remembered Edgar.

"Sir Herman also Ricko called father, sir." said Victor withholding his laughter, it seems the boss forgot there was another man called Ricko as father.

"Damn it, okay from now on he has to call me Daddy" Demian said.

"And now get out of here, Vic, my head feels like it's going to break hearing your babble" Demian growled.

"Okay sir, I have some important news but it seems you don't want to hear it maybe next time I tell you." victor said, seeing Demian's reaction that seemed to close his eyes and lean on his chair.

"Go, I'm lazy to hear anything." Demian said without opening his eyes.

"Okay sir, then I'll excuse you." Victor immediately resigned, but when it was on the doorstep Demian immediately called him back.

"Wait, Vic." call Demian and immediately make Victor pull the corner of his lips up, then he turned to look at his superior.

"Yes, sir ?" sahut later.

"It looks like I changed my mind, tell me what news are you bringing ?" asked Demian who seemed to be still leaning lazily in her work chair.

Victor immediately set his foot toward Demian, then he handed the man a flash.

"What is this ?" demian didn't understand, but he connected it to his computer.

"It seems that a few days ago, Mrs Ariana attended a community lunch invitation for your colleagues" said Victor, waiting for the recording in the flash to load.

"Good God, who allowed that woman to dance so beautiful without me by her side, Vic ?" hardik Demian was angry when he saw Ariana appear to step foot gracefully into a private room.

It seemed that Demian had forgotten that a few hours ago their relationship had broken up, to the point that his anger was so unnatural.

"Not to be fussy Vic, I'm not senile either." Demian's lips defended themselves, the man was never willing to give up even though it was wrong.

While Victor just sighed in length, understand the nature of the boss.

Demian was seen clenching his hands when he saw the bullying done by his mother and friends to Ariana at the meeting.

"How did Ariana get there, Vic? isn't it that who can get in there has to bring an invitation ?" furious Demian.

"Sorry sir, it looks like the great mistress is behind all these events." said Victor, he also showed cctv at Ricko's school that the day before Madam Anggoro had met Ariana there.

"Mama." Demian growled in annoyance.

"So what because of this Ariana prefers to break our relationship" he added.

"As you often say sir, besides innocent mistress Ariana is also very kind-hearted. He wants you to be devoted to the big lady and give up his feelings." said Victor responded.

"Then didn't he think about how I and Ricko felt ?" Demian looks emotional.

"It is precisely because he thinks of you and Ricko that he prefers not to take Ricko away and let you be close to your child. Maybe Ms. Ariana wants to prove that separated parents can still raise children together." said Victor responded.

"And sacrifice his feelings? that's Vic's naive name, Arianaku is indeed very naive. I feel guilty for yelling at him." Demian seemed to be scooping his face violently, then he got up from his seat.

"Where are you going, sir ?" victor asked when he saw Demian grab his car keys.

"Of course meet my Arian." Demian said.

"Looks better you hold him down first, mister ?" advice Victor.

"You mean ?"

"If you get back together with Ms. Ariana, then the big lady will hate her even more." said Victor.

"I don't care."

"But lady Ariana cares, sir. How about you follow the big lady game that will match you with Miss Jessica ?" advice Victor.

Demian seemed to grunt annoyed, again his mother set him up with a woman of her choice.

"From the info that I've got Jessica's family company is almost collegiate, I think they're planning something by putting Jessica on you." continued Victor again.

"Alright, actually I don't care if you agree or not with Ariana. I'm not the kind of teenager I used to be. But this time I'll do it for Ariana." Demian said.

"I also want to teach my woman a lesson, how dare she decide I am one-sided" he added, smiling meaningfully.

After that Demian snatched his car keys, then immediately left his office.

Arriving at Ariana's house, Demian went straight to Ricko's room after her ART told her that Ariana was there.

Without knocking on the door first, Demian immediately opened Ricko's room. Two of his favorite people were surprised to see his arrival.

But before long, Ariana immediately left the room without saying a word.

But Demian pretends to not care about it, he prefers to accompany Ricko who is doing his schoolwork.

"Ricko wait here, son. Daddy wants to talk to your mom for a second" Demian said after accompanying Ricko to make PR.

Demian and Ricko seem to have made a deal about dad's call to Daddy.

"Okay Dad, Ricko's getting ready for bed."

Ricko seemed to yawn several times, it seemed like the little boy was very tired after working on his PR.

After that Demian immediately stepped out, at the sight of Ariana's room was tightly closed. When Demian was about to open it, the door was locked from the inside as if the woman had changed her password.

But Demian seemed to smile cynically, in addition to using a high-tech door password that he could open with his fingerprints.

After opening the door and going inside, Demian was seen hearing the sound of water from the bathroom. Ariana is taking a shower right now.

Demian just sat himself on the sofa, he seemed to circulate his eyes exploring every corner of his room.

And no matter how long the bathroom door was opened, Ariana who only wore a bathrobe and wrapped her hair in a towel was immediately aghast when she saw Demian sitting on her bedroom sofa while looking at her.

"W-what are you doing in my room ?" peekkik Ariana's.
