Anton was already feeling fresher when some of Alex's men took him to the restaurant and drove him to the office of Director Budianto-Daddy Monica.
He had to pretend to be weak in front of Reynald.
That bastard assistant to Director Budianto was the hardest to lie to.
Anton laughed in his heart. He should have deserved an Oscar. When Reynald takes his story for granted and takes him to meet Monica who is currently in her Daddy's office.
"Director," call Reynald politely. The man, who is also the assistant director of Budianto, was seen carrying documents in a gray map in his hand.
Director Budianto turned his head, "What are you carrying, Rey?" he asked when he saw Reynald walking up to him. "And him?" ask the man with probing eyes.
"Anton's?" Monica was stunned in place as her bead eyes stared at another figure behind her daddy assistant. "You came back?"
The beautiful woman walked past a row of sofas in the middle of the room and stopped right in front of Anton with a face full of bruises.
"Are you okay?" implied anxiety in Monica's voice.
Anton just lifted his face, then smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Miss. I'm fine."
"Relove, Monica!" shouted Director Budianto suddenly. "Don't go near that guy!"
The woman was surprised and took a step back. Monica frowned, "Why?"
Director Budianto raised his eyebrows, "Look, Alexander is not a generous man to free anyone who has ever offended him. I'm afraid something's wrong with all this."
Monica wanted to open her mouth refuting her daddy's words, but paled until a mobile phone shake jolted her.
Monica's face paled as she read the first message that came in there.
"Oh.****," said Monica later.
"Who?" asked Director Budianto while looking at his daughter.
"William Sean Waston's. He sent me a message," Monica sighed.
"Sean just got out of this room and must have met Anton."
The beautiful woman was silent for a moment when she recalled the habits of Alexander Kemal Malik.
Sean Waston and his daddy were right. That's not possible. Couldn't that man just set free the person who had offended him? Moreover, Anton was ever going to kill his wife, even though it was on Monica's orders.
The beautiful woman then turned back to look at Anton, "Tell me, did Alex set you free? Or did you run away from him? And why did you escape?" ask with a probing view.
Anton raised his face back.
Damn. Now he's really good at the show. The lies glide smoothly from his mouth.
"Miss. I really don't remember anything. When I realized, I was already on the side of the road. I'm borrowing a passer-by's cell phone to contact you. But you didn't lift it. I'm calling your bodyguard, and they're telling me, if you're here. So I went to this office and met Reynald. Until now, I'm in front of you right now, Miss."
Monica frowned, "Have you lost your memory? Oh, I mean is there a piece of your memory missing?"
"Sway Monica!" director Budianto's hand spontaneously opened his desk drawer and grabbed a Zoraki caliber 917.
"Call security and check the man's body, Rey! He may be carrying a bomb or a wiretap on his body" Budianto ordered paranoid.
"Master, I've checked Anton thoroughly before I take him to see Miss. I didn't find anything suspicious on his body" Reynald replied politely.
"Do I need to call security again? But I think it's going to create a furore in our office."
Director Budianto snorted violently, forcedly, he nodded his head. Sure enough, if security comes to the director's office and drags the man, even if it's not a big thing, but it will cause question marks on all employees.
He did not dare to speculate. With medsos, everything can be spread in seconds. As fast as the wind blows, the gosibs will spread through cyberspace. And the plan that has been arranged neatly can fall apart.
And if he shoots his daughter's assistant? What if Monica turns against him? It would be very unfavorable for him.
Director Budianto could not stop his thoughts bouncing everywhere, he carefully stored the firearm back in its original place.
The old man again snorted in annoyance. Even his firearms are illegal. What if someone finds out? Indonesia is the most complicated country in applying the law of possession of firearms to civilians.
"I believe you, Rey," he said later. "But, are you sure he won't cause trouble later on?" Director Budianto turned to look at his daughter.
"For so long, Anton has been very loyal to me, Dad. Daddy doesn't have to worry. This time, she will also definitely not let me down," Monica was astonished by her own words.
All this time he had never trusted anyone else, but this time why could he so easily trust that assistant of his?
"Why can you be so sure, Monica?"
"Anton was my bodyguard when we were both kids. Mommy took care of him to take care of me."
Director Budianto chuckled. "alright. I won't be suspicious of your assistant anymore. I'm just afraid he's treasonous, selling Alexander information just for his freedom."
Monica fell silent. The beautiful woman could understand why her Daddy thought that way. It's impossible for Anton to escape Alex. Unless it was the man himself who set him free.
"I've been counting on you for so long, Monica. Alexander has cost me hundreds of billions by buying our coal at a fraction of the price. That damn deal hurt me. But I can't do anything."
Looking at his daughter who was just silent, Director Budianto walked towards where his daughter was standing and touched her daughter's hand gently.
"I can only rely on you. Right now my company is also in danger of going out of business, if all investors withdraw their capital. Only you and Elena can help me right now."
"Director," Reynald said respectfully, "This is what you asked for yesterday" he said, handing over the documents he had brought.
Director Budianto took the document in a gray map handed out by Reynald, then opened it, read it slowly while walking towards the sofa beside him. His eyes widened when he caught something.
He excitedly looked at the document, then smiled broadly at Reynald, "Good work, Rey." The old man could not hide his happiness anymore.
A big smile adorned the face of his loyal assistant, "I'm so happy, Director."
"What makes Daddy so happy?" asked Monica curiously.
Director Budianto's wide smile slowly disappeared replaced by a serious facial expression as he stared at Monica and Anton alternately.
"I've found Alexander's weakness" he said with sparkling eyes.
Director Budianto is open, "Bravo. This news is absolutely amazing. Nothing is perfect in this world. Powerful men like Alexander can bend their knees to women. You know why Julius Caesar was killed? Because she trusted Cleopatra too much."
The old man was still with his laugh, giving the documents in his hand to Monica. The pretty woman's forehead was wrinkled.
"I knew before that she was pregnant with Alex's child" she said, swallowing her saliva bitterly.
"But can that guarantee, the woman becomes his weakness?"
The old man halted his laughter, staring intently at his daughter, "You fool, Monica. For powerful families like the Malik family, bloodline is very important. Although not because of the woman, but the child in her womb was the most important pawn."
Director Budianto was silent for a moment, considering the steps he would take. His mind twirled, "But, did the girl really conceive Alexander's child, Rey? I don't want to take the risk of making that girl a medium of exchange."
"Of course, Director. Although the hospital belonged to Malik's family, but his employees also needed money," Rey smiled cunningly.
"Here, we can easily get information for just a little bit of money."
"So?" Monica siding. "What's our next plan?"
The old man turned his head towards Anton who had just lowered his head.
"This man will complete our plan. As proof."
Anton raised his face back, "I mean, Mister?"
"You will carry out my plan, to prove your loyalty."
Anton turned his head towards Monica, "Miss, do you no longer trust me? Why do I have to prove something when they set me free?"
Monica seemed to think for a moment, "Prove it," said the beautiful woman almost in a whisper.
"Prove to me you're still loyal to me by doing Daddy's plan."
Anton lowered his head, "That means that you don't trust me anymore?"
"I told you, didn't I, if my plan didn't work out, then I'd do Daddy's plan? Then do!"
"All right," Anton took a deep breath. "I will," said Anton full of earnestness before he finally smiled while staring at Monica's bead bitterly.
He really doesn't know what grudge there is, Director Budianto against Alex. He only knows, Monica is hurt because of that man.
And now, he had to kidnap the beautiful woman who was pregnant with the heir of the Malik clan? Become a pawn of two Fathers and his daughter to complete their revenge.
