Just Love Figurant
Chapter 15

The morning sunlight was so bright this morning. The atmosphere of the capital remains crowded as usual, full of people who want to work and ready to fight with their respective activities. If the capital is usually rained, but different from this morning

A few days have passed since Marcel was driven out of Luci's house by Renata. The man never came to visit Susi again to this day. In recent days, the man is very worried about the condition of Susi, but her high ego makes him not to think about Susi.

As a result, Marcel prefers to be quiet and divert his mind if he is thinking about Susi. However, the young man concluded that Luci had deliberately thrown himself on Marcel's bed. Don't ask how narrow Marcel's brain is in judging Susi. The man just does not know, how strong the bond of friendship between Lusi and Renata, to make Lusi dare to take this risk.

A few days without Lusi, in fact makes the world of Marcel fine. The man also had a coffee break, since Lusi was not present at the office. Like this morning, suddenly he missed the distinctive aroma of thick coffee and delicious made by Lusi.

Tying his shirt sleeves, and wearing a watch on his wrist, Marcel looked at himself in the mirror. The all-white room dominated by the old gray color, making Marcel feel at home for a long time in the room.

"I'm not bad enough. My face is also as handsome as papa. If Renata isn't willing to open up and reject me outright, I'll make sure I can get more than Renata. Just look at it later." Marcel smiled obliquely.

"Look, whoever approaches me at the office, from today I will respond. Waiting for Renata and closing myself off from the girls in the office, I've done enough. Occasionally playing around and enjoying free time, wouldn't this be so much fun?" Marcel is back in the monologue.

The man then grabbed a suit and put it on, not forgetting, Marcel sprayed perfume on a certain part of his body. Afterwards, Marcel left for the office, driving a car that had just been bought by his mother, his father's wife.

The car was a birthday present from Aridha, to Marcel. It was actually his twenty-second birthday. Alex, Marcel's biological father, gives up five percent of Alex's shares in Alex's company. Five percent is a pretty big amount of course. Even with that five percent stake, Marcel has suddenly become a millionaire in the next few months.

Upon arrival at the office, Marcel immediately entered the room with a flat face. His eye flashes showed shock, when he found Lusi in his room, with sweat pouring down his temple.

"Good morning, sir." Lusi greeted flatly and nodded his head in a sign of respect. Marcel thought, because this is a demanding work area for professionals.

"Morning, Lusi. You're doing better?" Marcel asked flatly. To be honest, he still considers Lusi as his best friend. It's just that, Marcel's assumption of Luci, makes Marcel feel the need to keep his distance.

"Here you go, sir." Lusi answered slowly. "Do you want to make coffee?" Ask Lusi back.

"Can. Make it with the usual composition, Luci." Marcel's Word.

"Good, Sir." Luci answered briefly, before he left Marcel's room and made coffee for the master.

Since Renata made him realize that Marcel was not a good man, then Lusi was determined to keep his distance with Marcel. Same with Marcel. Men also assume a no-no against Luci.

That's how they both are, until they don't realize, that they're just misunderstanding. They are immersed in their assumptions that they created themselves. The lack of communication between the two, made their relationship tenuous from this moment on.

Until the coffee was served on Marcel's desk, no pleasantries came out of his lips. They are like subordinates and superiors who only need each other, not like friends like before.

And that, it will go on for some time.

"I'll leave Marcel to you, Mr. Araf. Please educate him to be a reliable heir. Alex makes his point.

"Heir? Didn't you only have one child from the great madam? And that's a princess?" Ask the man called Mr. Araf.

"Marcel's blood is my flesh, the result of my previous marriage to a woman named Inora." Alex's lie. He did not want, Inora and Marcel became the subject of blasphemy business colleagues. In any case, Alex still maintains the dignity and honor of the mother of his son.

"really? That means, the big madam is the second wife?" Araf asked.

"Yes, you could say so. However, I got married under the hands of Marcel's mother. She is also married to a man named Dion. Marcel's father." Alex answered firmly.

As a father who is only aware of his son's presence at an advanced age, Alex wants to make amends. Unintentional past mistakes. In addition to keeping the good names of Inora and Marcel, Alex intends to do as good as he can.

Traces of the past are not so good, make Alex feel a sinner. Sinners, however, want to fix everything.

Treasure, the throne, as well as a faithful and patient wife, are the good fortune that God has bestowed upon her. It's not wrong if right now in the rest of Alex's age, Alex wants to dedicate his life to anyone related to him.

"alright, sir. It all depends on the ability and also the IQ level of young master Marcel. If Mr. Marcel mastered the material quickly, I believe it would only take one and a half or two years to complete education. But if Mr. Marcel is not what I expected, it could be three to four years." Araf.

"alright. Just do your best for my son. I'll give it to you, whenever you start putting it in your university. Cost matters, my wife and I will bear it. But is it okay if, please tell Marcel, that he got a full scholarship upon admission to the university." Alex Pinta.

"alright, sir. That's not a hard thing." Araf smiled kindly.

"Well if so, Mr. Araf. Excuse me." Alex resigned himself. The man immediately headed to the car, where Aridha and Hesti were waiting for him.

One by one, the plan was already in motion. Alex is grateful and feels wrong to choose a wife. Aridha supports more on whatever the decision is.

"How, honey? Mr Araf is ready?" Aridha asked softly.

"of course. Don'worry. He'll make plans soon. Please help me persuade Marcel to follow what I've set." Pinta Alex then, to his wife.

"Don't worry. It'll all be in my hands." Answer Aridha.

Today, when Marcel and Lusi keep their distance, apparently on the other hand Marcel is also being prepared to become the leader of the company.
