"Let go, Sir! it hurts!" anisa moans.
Nicholas did not heed Anisa's groaning. The man forced Anisa's body into his room and closed the door again.
"So, do you have any particular intention of approaching Renata?" nicholas asked with a very cold look.
"What does Father mean? I even found out that Renata and Nathan are in a relationship and in love. But, swear by anything, I really had no intention of seizing Nathan from Renata. It is precisely you who have the intention to destroy their relationship," Anisa looks undaunted by Nicholas' gaze. The woman returned the gaze of the man in front of her.
"When did you know Nathan?" Nicholas is back.
"It's been a long time. He just happened to be helping me from some thugs. I felt she was so kind, that I subconsciously fell in love with her. It was my first and last meeting with him. I've been looking for him for a long time, but it never works. Maybe I'm the only one who knows her name, but not her. Because at that time, only I asked her name and she did not ask me my name at all" Anisa recalled with a sad look on her face. "But, I swear by anything, even if I like it, I have absolutely no intention of taking it from Renata" he continued.
Nicholas was silent, and squinted his eyes. The man took a look at Anisa's face to ascertain whether the woman in front of him was honest in heart or a lie.
"At first last night I was going to take Nathan, because I was disappointed with Renata. He's been lying to me for a long time about who he really is. She covered up her status which turned out to be the daughter of a businessman, but after I thought through it, there was no point at all in me replying in such a devious manner," Anisa continued back, because seeing the look on Nicholas' face that seems not to fully believe him.
"Oh, so you already know Renata's true identity? You know where it came from? did you find out for yourself?" Nicholas seems to be getting suspicious. He thought that the woman in front of him was just pretending not to want to hang out with the rich, as an image that he was good and not crazy treasure.
"I know from a man named Roby. I met him yesterday at a cafe where I work side by side. He said that he knew Renata very well. I didn't believe it at first, but she showed me the evidence of Renata's photo with her family" Anisa explained.
Nicholas squinted his eyes, trying to remember the name of the man Anisa had just mentioned. The man suddenly smiled smirk as soon as he remembered the name of the man mentioned by the girl in front of him.
"Roby huh? I remember who that man was." Nicholas said with a cynical smile.
Later, Nicholas tells Anisa who Roby really is, the man who was once close to Renata, for having the intention and purpose to make use of the girl's wealth. Not to forget, also Nicholas tells that Roby is working with Renata's best friend who turns out to have the same intentions as Roby. Nicholas of course tells everything according to what he heard from Renata's story when their relationship was still fine, or when the girl was still sitting in high school.
"That's the reason why Renata always hid her status. He did not want anyone else to be friends with him just because he looked at his property," explained Nicholas at length.
"Why does the story look almost like me? as long as you know, I also had a lover and friends at High School who were the children of rich people. I thought they were all sincere, it turned out that they were just using my intelligence. They dumped me even insulted me when they all graduated with good grades. They say that I'm not worthy of being with them because I'm not at the same level. They say that I am suited to be friends with street children, and whose economy is not much different from mine. From that moment on, I kept my distance from the rich people" Anisa explained at length, not consciously feeling comfortable telling her experience first.
The corner of Nicholas' lips suddenly rose slightly upwards, forming a mysterious smile.
"Anisa what if I offer you a partnership?" nicholas said that felt ambiguous to Anisa.
"Cooperation? what cooperation?" anisa's eyebrows are sharp-linked.
"How about we work together to get the people we love. You approached Nathan, so I could stay with Renata,"
"What if I offered, would make you a regular employee after you graduate college, have a very high department and salary?" Nathan returned with a very tempting offer.
Anisa flinched, feeling worried. The offer that Nicholas gave was really very entertaining and it was his dream that wanted to change his life and his family for the better.
The woman was seen taking a deep breath, exhaling it back into the air and closing her eyes at a glance. Then, the woman looked back at Nicholas with a difficult gaze to read.
"Sorry, I still don't want to! whatever you offer I don't want," finally, Anisa refused again firmly and steadily.
"Are you really thinking hard to resist? If you refuse, I could just blacklist your name. So that no one will accept you to work anywhere,"
Anisa flinching. Really feel a dilemma. He did not expect that the man in front of him who was said to be kind and wise could do such cunning.
"Hows it? you accept my offer with various benefits or still refuse with very severe consequences?"
"I did not expect, if you can be this subtle, which requires all means to get what you want. But, sorry sir, I chose to keep refusing. Because I know, we will never feel perfect happiness, above the suffering of others. All our life we will feel guilty, seeing the person we love unhappy with us. One thing I believe, even if you make me unable to work anywhere, God will never close my fortune, while I am still trying. Perhaps, it is not my fortune to have a position, as I dreamed, but I believe, God has prepared better for me in other fields. Because the windfall of each individual is different. For what, we have abundant material, but we gain from sacrificing the happiness of others? That would be no blessing at all, Mr. Nicholas,"
Nicholas was stunned to hear the strands of sentence after sentence that were thrown from Anisa's mouth. He did not expect, if the girl in front of him, could bring out such wise words.
"Sorry, Mr. Nicholas. Looks like today's my last day of interning at my father's office. I decided to stop" Anisa said as she twisted her body and swung her legs.
"Wait, Anisa!" anisa's steps suddenly stopped, because Nicholas' hand suddenly held her hand.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
After about 16 hours, the plane carrying Renata landed safely at London Heathrow airport.
Renata is seen getting off the plane and smiling happily.
"Welcome London! See you soon, Nathan!" muttered Renata with a sparkling face.
"Emm, but how can I contact him? I had absolutely no address, and my phone was left behind. What am I supposed to do now? dava and Bastian's number I didn't memorize either," Renata's countenance immediately turned sad.
