Handsome Detective
The Part 121
" It's actually like this, sir. Yesterday Sera met one of the company's business rivals.." said Adam slowly.
" So, today's presentation file is sold to another company...?" ask Arvan.
" Don't know yet, sir. I'll see how it will be during the presentation. I hope Miss Erina doesn't come to the meeting because I'll take Sera. I'm afraid something bad happened there and I can't keep Miss..."
" Erina also looks tired and sleeps now. Go, I believe you can handle this..."
" good, Sir. I'll also investigate the corruptors' involvement with Sera..."
" I hope you've uncovered the case. You're my hope right now." said Arvan.
" I'll try my best, sir..."
After seeing Sera come, Adam immediately said goodbye to Arvan and walked out of the CEO's room with a map in his hand.
" Ser, come with me to the meeting now." said Adam.
" Meeting for the Mall project...?" ask Sera.
" Yes, let's go now." replied Adam.
" Wouldn't Erina be leaving for the meeting? It's a big project, Dam..."
" Right, this is a very big project. We can't lose, the presentation Erina made last month was amazing. I am very optimistic that I can win this project. I hope you can help me with the presentation..." Adam stared fixedly at the face of Sera who looked nervous.
" But, Dam. Erina usually does the presentation and I just accompany her..."
Adam grabbed Sera's hand and looked at the girl's eyes seriously.
" Don't always depend on others. You have to go your way, not someone's orders. Be a cheerful girl as always, you are my best friend. Forever we will trust each other and will face all the problems together no matter how big it is..."
" Thank you, Dam. You're the best friend..."
Sera hugged Adam while crying in the arms of her best friend. There was a sense of tightness in his heart with Adam's sincere words to him.
" Let's go, soon the meeting starts." said Adam with a smile.
Sera did not release her hand until she reached the parking lot. The girl just wanted to feel the comfort of being next to her best friend.
" Why are you, Ser...?" asked Adam astonished.
" I'm sorry, Dam. All this time I've been troubling you and Erina..."
" We've been friends for a long time, the two of you I've considered like my sister. Never hesitate to share my joys and sorrows with me..." Adam felt that there was something strange about Sera's words.
They both got into the car and immediately headed to the meeting place at the client's office which was not too far from his office. There was no talk at all between the two until Adam parked his car in front of the office building where the meeting was held.
Adam and Sera immediately headed to the lobby and walked towards the receptionist to inquire about the meeting room by showing the company identity card.
At the same time, an American man came and asked the same question.
" r. Adam, how are you...?" greet the man who turned out to be his business rival named Robert.
" Yes... Mr. Robert, I'm fine. You will also follow this tender...?" ask Adam.
" Yes, it's a big project so I won't miss an opportunity..."
" Good luck, Mr. Robert..."
" Thank you, may you be lucky today..."
Sera had just fallen silent and cast a glance in all directions even Mr. Robert looked at her intensely. Adam also felt strange to see the look on Sera's face - suddenly look moody and also nervous.
" Are you okay - what...?" adam whispered to Sera.
" Iy. yes." replied Sera slowly.
The three of them entered the meeting room in which there was already the owner of the company and several other company officials who would make presentations like Adam and Robert.
" Good day, Mr. Harry.. It seems we came late." Adam greeted with a friendly smile to everyone.
Robert did the same thing Adam did. He smiled quite warmly towards all his business rivals.
" No problem, the meeting hasn't started yet. Please sit down, sir." replied Mr. Harrys.
The meeting started and some people did very well. It was Adam and Robert's turn.
" r. Adam... please present your presentation.." said Mr. Harrys.
" I'm last, please Mr. Robert first." replied Adam.
" Thank you, Mr. Adam.." said Mr. Robert.
Robert did his presentation very well but made Adam smile as if underestimating.
" It's great your presentation, sir. But it seems like a little market." said Adam with a mocking smile.
" What do you mean...!" robert tried to stay calm.
" Nothing to mean, I've only ever seen such a presentation somewhere somewhere I forgot..."
Sera gasped at Adam's words. The sharp gaze of the man made Sera even more frightened and lowered her head.
" Oh yes, I have not presented the results of my final hard work - this end. May I have some time for the presentation...?"
" Oh, please Mr..."
" In this project, there will be a new change in the shape of each floor of the building. There will be unique decorations on each floor with different architectural styles from each country that can make visitors feel comfortable and feel like they are abroad. For budget issues, I will not take much advantage because you are an excellent and trustworthy business partner. I believe that efforts based on honesty will produce maximum results." said Adam.
Sera is silent beside Adam and is stared at sharply by Robert. The fear of hitting Sera made Adam feel there was something strange after his presentation was finished.
" Alright, I will decide who will handle this project." said Mr. Harrys.
Mr. Harry paused his sentence and took a deep breath before announcing the winner of the tender.
" The winner of the tender this time is from the company represented by Mr. Adam. Congratulations to you, what a wonderful presentation. I like the concept you created." said Mr. Harrys.
" Thank you, Mr. Harry for the opportunity you gave our company. We'll work with professionals..."
All congratulated Adam and Sera except Robert who came straight out of the meeting room.

" Damn...! How dare he trick me...!" robert shouted in the car.
Robert drove his car at high speed to his office. His anger is peaking at this time so that he instead of heading to the office instead went into a bar that is still closed but there is hidden activity in it.
Robert did not accept his defeat this time. He looks foolish before Adam and plans to take revenge.
Meanwhile, Adam and Sera returned to the office and went straight to Erina. Adam was very enthusiastic about telling me about the concept of those who managed to win the tender.
" Sera, why are you so moody from now on...? Did something happen to you...?" ask Erina.
" No, I just feel tired." Sera replied by forcing her smile.
" When are you like this, Ser. You've changed since I came.." said Erina.
" I'm sorry, I'll tell you next time. Excuse me.." said Sera.
" Sera.. wait...!" call Erina.
Sera immediately walked out of Erina's room and went somewhere. He didn't go back to his desk, probably went straight to his apartment. Adam was about to chase but was prevented by Erina.
" Dam, just leave it. Maybe Sera needs time to be alone." said Erina.
" But, Rin. I don't feel good thinking about Sera." said Adam.
" Look, we'll be there tonight to see how things are going. Hopefully he can be calmer, from the look of his eyes looks he is very depressed." said Arvan.
" Well, brother Arvan wants to come...?" ask Erina.
" Of course, as long as I can, I'll try to accompany you wherever you go..."

The evening was over from the office because he had to work overtime on some unfinished files, Erina immediately invited Arvan, Adam and Raka to go home.
" Sister, go home yuk...?" bring Erina.
" So to Sera Apartment...?" ask Arvan.
" So, I'm really worried about him. Right Adam said, my feelings are not good to think about Sera either..."
" Yes, you call Adam let me find Raka in the room first..."
After all was ready to go home, Erina who arrived - suddenly look spoiled immediately asked for a cradle on the back of her husband.
" sister, hold... Erin's tired.." whine Erina.
" Hmm.. alright, let's go up princess.." replied Arvan by bending her body.
" Uncle, Raka also asked for a sling.." Raka whine along - follow her mother.
" Is...why are you also cravings, bocil...!" groused Adam.
Adam immediately grabbed Raka's small body and was carried in front. Raka looked happy and hugged Adam's neck. They headed to the parking lot to pick up a car and immediately headed for the Sera Apartment.
An hour later, they arrived at the door of the Sera Apartment. Adam pressed the bell many times but there was no word from within. Out of curiosity, Erina opened the password of Sera's room that she had memorized because the three of them often spent time there since they were in college.
" Seraa...!" call Erina.
" It seems lonely, baby. Is Sera not here...?"
" Let me check into the room first." said Adam who was still holding Raka.
" Let me go, Dam. Sera was afraid to change clothes." said Erina.
Erina opened the room door slowly and thrust her head inside. But he was surprised to see Sera's room and suddenly shouted.
" Seraa...!!!"
