A young man of about 20 years looked glaring at the screen of his cell phone.
I don't know what he's thinking right now. But it is very clear that there is anger, disappointment and surprise from the face of the cruel face.
"Call Mr. Paul here!" Jerk the young man loudly while throwing the phone in his hand towards the chair.
Shortly afterwards, a bald man like a lecturer entered the room with a bodyguard who had been told by the young man to call Mr. Paul.
"You call me Young Master Honor?" Ask the 60s.
"Have you read the news this morning Paul?" The young man asked without the slightest bit of courtesy to the man he deserved was the same age as his father.
"No Young master. What news this morning?" Ask Mr. Paul.
"We're fooled again. Failed again and lost again. You are too engrossed in discussing planning without being accompanied by movement. You see that we've been stabbed by the Future of Company!" Shake the young man.
"You mean young master?" Asked Mr. Paul while frowning.
"Garden Company has entered into a partnership agreement with the Future of Company. You read the news yourself. Goddamnit!" Maki then threw her body on the chair.
Hearing the words of his employer's son, Mr. Paul immediately pulled out his cellphone and looked for news about the Garden Company company.
Justright. Now on the main page on the media platform that issued a trusted news release this time about the cooperation agreement worth USD 350 million in the project of building restaurants, golf courses, renovation of Garden Villa and so forth. This really surprised Mr. Paul.
"Have you read?" Ask Honor Miller.
"This. This..,"
"That's your inaction. Now how do we get into Garden Hill when this is the story?" Honor Miller to Mr. Paul.
"Young master. It's not too late. They just set up restaurants and golf courses. We can still work on getting our project to stand there. I myself will lobby the local government to approve our proposal to invest there. You just calm down." Mr. Paul said persuading the employer's son not to be too dizzy to think about the cooperation between the Future of Company and the Garden Company.
"What other plans do you have. It was just a plan and a plan. I want practice directly not theory!"
"Every young master."
"Go! Finish what you're planning. I don't want to fail again."
"Your young master." Mr. Paul said he would leave the room soon. But before he left the room, Honor Miller called him back.
"Pauls. What about the people you sent to the city of Kemuning? Is there any news?"
"Not yet young Master. They are still doing research and gathering all the information. If everything is collected, then they can take action."
"Yes already. Go get your business done."
"I'm young sir." Paul said, leaving the room with a red face.
"As long as I've followed Jerry William, I've never been treated like this servant. Just this time I was treated like a Belian slave." Sir Paul said inwardly as he clenched his fists firmly.
*********
On that afternoon, some young men and women seemed to be sitting on the beach enjoying the waves chasing each other like competing to hit the sand on the beach.
There looked Joe William, Tiara, Xenita, Namora, Hendro, Udin, Lia and Princess as well as Lestari who just arrived this morning. The nine young men seemed to be engrossed together looking at the waves.
"Chairman. Do you want anything? I'll get it for you." Ask Namora. This young man is hard to smile. His voice name was cold and stiff.
"I didn't. Try asking Xenita!" Said Joe. He deliberately told Namora to approach the girl so they could get along.
"I'm afraid of the Chairman." Namora.
"Fearful?" Joe asked as he stared comically at the young man.
"Oh. Are you afraid of women? Throw away your eggs or make them for shark bait!" Joe's word made Namora's face go red.
"Namorah. I want young coconuts. Can I?" Xenita said. This he did because he was interested in this young man who seemed cold and shy.
"Come Namora! Did you hear Xenita's request?" Joe William asked Namora who was still down.
"Good Chairman. I'll get you a young coconut for Xenita." Namora said and hurried off.
Shortly after, from the back of the Tiara house, Namora looked to carry some coconuts.
Now it looks like his white shirt changed to a green color sign that he just finished climbing the coconut tree.
Finished peeling the coconut fruit now with trembling hands and a dead red face, Namora finally approached Xenita.
"This is the young coconut you want Miss." Namora. His mouth spoke like that but his eyes only looked at the sand at the end of his joints.
"Thank you Namora." Xenita.
Knowing that this young man looked very shy, Xenita immediately took the coconut and held the hand of Namora who was still holding the coconut made Namora's body suddenly hot cold.
"Because of you Namora." Xenita thought to herself.
He did deliberately want to tease the young man or deliberately wanted to judge the extent of Namora's innocence. This is because he felt astonished how in modern times like today there is still a young man who is so innocent and very frightened when dealing with a woman. And this Namora proved to be very frightened.
"Namora! Oi. You why?" Joe asked to see that Namora's knee didn't stop shaking.
"A-I.., I don't-it's okay, chief. I went to see my father." Namora hurried to leave them.
"What are you doing Xenita?" Ask Joe after Namora passes.
"It wasn't me but she was too scared." Answer Xenita.
"Sister Joe. I judge that Namora is the type of man who is already rare in this world. I'm interested in him."
"Oh yeah? Didn't you just say that we've been betrothed?" Joe asked pretending to be shocked to find out the response from this very centile looking girl.
"Stupid? Haha. What time are we living in? It is no longer the age of marriage. You already have a tiara." Xenita's reply made Tiara just smile cleftly hearing the dialogue between Joe and Xenita.
"I wish I had three or four escorts. Tiara, Lestari, you and I are gonna find someone else." Said Joe.
"Damn. That's what makes Namora a plus compared to you." Xenita said as she threw the coconut skin at Joe.
Meanwhile, Tiara and Lestari just opened their eyes to look at Joe who was not at all bothered by what he had just said.
"You are Lia and the Princess. If I'm looking for a fourth companion will you compete for me?" Joe asked with a laugh.
"Pretty. I'd rather be a spinster." Lia's reply made Joe laugh again.
"Sister Joe. It doesn't feel like we've been here two days. Later that afternoon I heard that uncle was going back to Starhill. Are you going home?" Xenita asked Joe William.
"No. I need time to set my heart on leaving this Kuala Nipah. Wait a little quiet and I'll be home. You guys can go home first. I'm going back to Starhill secretly so as not to attract attention." Answer Joe.
"Can you ask Namora to come?" Ask Xenita.
"He has not graduated. Later I'll take him to college at Starhill or Garden Hill. You'll be patient for another year."
"Then we'll go there, Joe. Can I?" Ask Udin.
"Can. Why not?" Answer Joe steadily.
"OKs. You just wait. We'll probably get there soon." Answer the Son of this Hand.
