Husband And Sister-in-law
Chapter 26

That morning Bryan was ready for his work suit. White shirt, fabric material black pants and suit with similar color. Bryan stared at the image of his appearance in the mirror all over his body in his room to make Bryan recall the memorable moment with Karina first. Bryan exhaled a rough breath immediately throwing off his melancholic daydream.

"I miss you." Bryan whispered in his heart.

Bryan immediately left his room to have breakfast with his papi and his mother. Although she had been acting normal to her mother but Bryan kept a little distance. Bryan was not angry but still disappointed. Moreover, the reason made Bryan was not out of thought.

"You're going to the office?" Arowana asked to see Bryan appear at the dining table. Bryan just nodded his head

Everyone sat in their dining chairs. Ambar had spoken with his son, although not as before but Bryan gave a response that was not bad. It's just that Bryan's been keeping a little distance from his mother. It even looks flat and cold in contrast to the previous which is always cheap smile and spirit.

Ambar secretly regretted his decision but it was too late. Ambar himself is not sure if changing his decision will return to what it used to be. Ambar even felt guilty when he saw his son fall ill for days because of the incident.Even his son's delirium made Ambar's heart pinched.

"I'm leaving first, there's something I want to take care of before I go to the office." Pamit Bryan with her flat face.

"You sure you're healthy?" Ask Arowana once again to be sure. Although Bryan's face was not as pale as yesterday, but Arowana still worried about his son who never even looked sick. Because Bryan always covered her with a big happy smile.

"I'm fine Pi." Bryan convinced Arowana.

"I'm leaving first Pi, mi." Pamit Bryan turned to Ambar without looking and rushed to the garage to pick up his car which he had not used for almost two weeks.

"Do this! After lunch we meet with the client!" Tell Rey to stare at the documents on her desk after calling Karina to come closer.

Karina's desk is in Rey's room. Ima, Rey's old secretary, has her desk outside her room as well as Aldi's, she has her own room for work. It's good to know who put Karina's desk in one room with Rey, who didn't even want a room with anyone before, for whatever reason.

"But sir?" Karina asked waiting for Rey's reaction.

"What's wrong?" Rey asked looked up at Karina who was hesitant to say so.

"Sorry before, I used to work in finance and money-related bookkeeping, but... I am your second secretary. I'm not sure... I can do it." Obviously Karina paused her speech.

"Then?"

"Yes?"

"Then why?"

"I'm not sure about doing a secretary's job, so... Would it not be better for me to work in finance?" Karina for fear of making mistakes. However, the secretary is not his expertise.

Rey looked at Karina inside, who was stared at speechlessly embarrassed by the glance Rey looked at her.

"What's your motto when you work here?" Ask Rey back.

"Will try to work your best." Karina replied smoothly still loading Rey's question intent.

"Do it now!" Tell Rey to point the file over her desk with her chin.

Karina was silent to digest until for a while she finally understood the meaning of Rey's words and motto. Karina let out a long sigh bowing her head and a moment later she looked up at Rey who was still staring at her even looking at everything Karina did.

"Sa-my... Will try sir." Karina finally made Rey smile which made Karina gasp in shock at Rey's smile which she rarely did, especially in front of others.

"Is there any more questions?" Rey asked with a face that had returned flat and cold.

Karina put the not-so-much work papers on her desk. He also sat facing a laptop that had been specially prepared for him to work. Rey herself secretly glanced at what Karina was doing. Even his facial expression was fickle as if he was too heavy thinking about his work. But Karina continued to do the work according to what she knew.

After lunch break he will ask the first secretary, Ima.

"You can ask if there's anything you want to know." Rey's ambiguous speech made Karina suddenly turned to look at Rey.

"Thank you sir, so far I can handle it." Karina smiled confidently.

"okay." I don't know why Rey doesn't like it. She wanted Karina to pester her with any questions or difficulties about her work. Even she was willing if Rey asked about personal matters to her as well.

But he couldn't have shown Karina directly. Which might just make Karina infil her later. Rey promised to approach him slowly. Bullshit about her lover. Rey really doesn't want to know who that guy is. As long as Karina is not married, Rey will fight. Rey even refuses when Aldi submits to investigate about Karina and all things Karina.

"I as CEO of this company and the owner and largest shareholder in the company want to introduce someone who will replace me later." Arwana calls for emergency shareholder meeting.

Everyone was speechless, those who had been wondering who the young man Arowana had brought when she entered the company. They knew that the son of Arowana was abroad and did not return long ago. And now even he introduced a young man to all of them. Bryan who is not known publicly who and his face only silent even though he did not want the truth. But his little heart said that his position and power would be useful someday.

"You son!" Arowana's decree looked at Bryan who was sitting behind the Arowana chair because of the Arowana's request as well. Bryab stood tidying up his no tangled suit at all and stepped forward standing at the side of Arowana.

"He's Bryan Adams Airlangga, my son who will be the successor of my company." The cry of Arowana looked at all the shareholders one by one to see the look on his face.

"Sorry sir, isn't your son Reynaldi?" Ask one of the shareholders. Arowana suddenly looked at the middle-aged man almost the same age as him, the man was the second largest shareholder after Arowana.

"That's true, my son is not here. He already has his own company so he does not want to be a successor in this company. But since I had time to resign because of age, I chose to give my supposed title to my first son to my second son alone, Bryan." Clearly Arowana at length made everyone nod their heads in understanding.

"Are you sure your first son doesn't want it even though he already has his own company. Still he's the rightful heir to get it." Said the man again still not giving up.

"That'll be my business later." Firmly Arowana stared intently at the middle-aged man called Romi.

"I just need clarity, I as the second largest shareholder of course do not want to get the impact due to the feud of two brothers." Romi said boldly to make Arowana to lose patience but he could not just evaporate it at the meeting place.

"I understand. I didn't immediately give him a big responsibility. I will be monitoring him for some time to come. In two months, in two months I give him time, if in the next two months he can not finish the project Ambal** which our company is working on. I'll put it down to being a regular employee like everyone else." Disconnect Arowana makes everything silent there are pros and cons.

"It is a valuable project, how can you give it to him who is still new in terms of project cooperation? Although a high diploma is not necessarily the same when in the field." Romi protests again make Arowana angry but a soft touch of Bryan makes Arowana turn to look at Bryan.

"Can I talk?" Bryan asked, speaking up after a long pause to listen to the debate. Everyone immediately looked at Bryan full of intimidation, but Bryan was not daunted at all. He was used to the faces as shown in the meeting.

The whispers of the shareholders made Bryan stare at them one by one as if to mark, anyone who looks supportive also who looks not supportive. Until everyone was silent because no one spoke either Arowana or Bryan.

"One month, I'll prove to finish it. If in one month I cannot finish it, I will voluntarily resign. And all of it will be written in the black covenant on white." Firmly Bryan stared intently and coldly looked at one by one the shareholders.

Everyone immediately fell silent no one dared to whisper or interrupt him, not even Romi who had spoken since was silent.

"For the issue as heir, we wait for my brother to come home and after that the decision of the shareholders to appoint us, who is more entitled." Bryan continued when Arowana was about to protest directly answered by Bryan's head. So they can just be quiet.
