If You Met Me First...
Shane O'Grady
Boston Massachusetts
Shane was studying the sale of O'Grady beer when he heard news of criminal novelist Hugo Melker being accused of murdering his wife. Shane remembers an event in Boston six months ago and getting acquainted with the couple.
Very friendly couple. Shane could see that Hugo adored his wife very much. Who would kill Salsabila. Hugo's wife is indeed very beautiful, typical of Eastern Europe. Shane could see how attractive the woman was, but he also knew that Salsabila was Hugo's wife.
"How can Hugo be accused of killing Salsabila?" shane muttered confusedly.
The sound of knocking on the door, made Shane turn his head. "Yes Flynn?"
"Miss Neville's here, Shane."
Shane smiles. "Send him in, Flynn."
Apsarini walked into Shane O'Grady's office. The girl looked beautiful wrapped in a gray blazer and a pink blouse and her long brown hair was left untouched.
Apsarini Neville's
**Shane O'Grady**
Shane gawks at Jayde's cousin coming in formal attire while he only wears a denim shirt. Forgive me this is Friday !
"Ehem. Hi Sari." Shane stood up and greeted the girl.
"Hi Shane's. Sorry, I was only able to resign after my boss in Rovio stepped on the gelut !" apsarini smiled as she extended her hand and shook hands with Shane.
"It's okay. Sit down Sari." Shane lets the girl sit in the front seat of his desk.
"Thanks." -."
"When did you arrive from Helsinki?"
"Two days ago. I'm sorry I'm still jetlag so only today came, when it should have been yesterday yes Shane" Apsarini smiled.
"What's wrong. You sent me a message" Shane replied. "So, I've been figuring out your performance in Rovio and indeed you're one of the outstanding accountants there. And you want to move back to England but unfortunately, your ex is in Manchester..."
"Former..."
"Khrisna Rao, Raj Rao's twin brother Lexington's star husband who also happens to be Khrisna's wife. It's so complicated... And you dated her after Khrisna divorced Gemintang..."
"Shane, if you ask me to come here to open up my past... Better, I'm back in Helsinki !" Apsarini stood up to leave.
"Please don't. I just want to offer you a job here so you don't meet the person who broke your heart."
Apsarini looked at Shane. "What happened to me, it's my personal business, Shane."
"i know's. And you must feel bad heartbreak, right?" Shane's blue eyes stared at Apsarini's face with a sad look.
"You... You are also heartbroken? Who's? Do I know?" Apsarini looked at Shane's handsome face.
"Very familiar."
Apsarini began to think. "Don't tell Nadya Blair."
Shane just smiled smirk.
"Oh my God Shane ! It's been a year since Bayu got married and Nadya's mother is also married to Bang Omar Zidane !"
"Name right ? Khrisna Rao is married to her parents and they live in Manchester. If you go back to PRC Group, it's not impossible that you will also meet with Khrisna right?"
Apsarini laughed. "So this is the story of you offering a job in Boston to join a heartbroken club?"
Shane pressed his shoulders. "The Short of."
"Oke Mancunian (The person from Manchester is known as Mancunian). Let's talk about your experience in finance and accounting because I need you to be part of the O'Grady Company accounting team that not only holds beer in Boston but also our steel mills." Shane looked at the beautiful face of Apsarini.
"What do you want to know, Shane?" challenge Apsarini.
Shane smiles.

After nearly an hour of talking about work and Shane was impressed by Apsarini's abilities, the man finally accepted the blue-eyed girl. Shane did not doubt the ability of Tristan Neville's daughter because he got a letter of recommendation from the game company Rovio who did recognize the performance of Apsarini during their work at their company.
"We're having lunch?" shane Tawal.
"Did you always take the new employee you hired for lunch, Shane?" apsarini.
Shane. "No but here the context is that I'm taking lunch as a brother. Are we not brothers from marriage? If Opa Rhett hadn't married Oma Kaia, we wouldn't be in-laws."
"Hhhmmm teasing. Do you know any halal restaurants in Boston? I honestly just got my first time here. Even though I went back and forth to New York, at most to New Jersey. Boston, just now" Apsarini said.
"Of course I know." Shane took his jacket. "Yuk we have lunch first. I'm hungry."

The Black Seed Halal Grill Boston
Shane invites Apsarini to lunch at a restaurant that is halal and sells a variety of western food.
The man ordered kebabs and burgers with side dish salad and caramelized pudding. Apsarini seemed pleased with her vibe that was very Boston and Irish. Given the first Irish people who migrated to Boston made many descendants in the city famous for the history of Boston Tea Party.
The Boston Tea Party (Boston Tea Party) was one of the events that took place on December 16, 1773, where American colonialists protested because they had to buy tea from the United Kingdom and had to pay taxes. They dumped the tea into Boston Harbor.
No wonder between the British and Irish people often do not get along even until there is a famous extremist army called the IRA (Ireland Republican Army). Ireland itself is divided into two, Ireland with the capital Dublin and Northern Ireland with the capital Belfast.
Britain Divided the Island into Two Countries by Civil War. In 1920, the British divided the island into a separate parliament in order to fight a civil war, namely the northeast of which the majority of its citizens are Protestant and the south and northwest of which the majority are Catholic.
The O'Grady family is a family from Ireland, not Northern Ireland. They're already in the black and steel beer business in Boston.
"So, do you know Hugo Melker?" ask Shane.
"The criminal novelist? What is Murder in the Valley? Why Shane?" ask Apsarini while sipping her ice tea.
"He's accused of murdering his wife."
Apsarini. "Are they not known as married couples who get along? I don't hear of any scandal between them." Apsarini looked at Shane confusedly.
"It was actually last night, Sari."
Apsarini is confused. "Who's defending Hugo?"
"It could be Nelson" Shane replied. "Given he's a celebrity and Nelson used to stand up for VIP clients."
Apsarini. "I didn't expect Shane."
"me too. But until it's all clear, I think there's an innocent principle there, too." Shane smiled miris. "But I know they're a harmonious couple."
