La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 23

Paper strewn across Luna's desk. The woman had checked several documents with Angeline, the owner of the multimillion-dollar diamond necklace.

Brain's dead-end. Tonight he was accompanied by a coffee that remained his cup and pen that did not escape from his hands.

I don't know how many times the woman went around the table. And he didn't find any irregularities. Odder still, all the doors and security in the special room where the precious objects were stored, were completely undamaged.

"The agreement is the same as the others, there was nothing suspicious on CCTV yesterday and today. Oh God ... What's the matter?" Luna scratched her non-itchy head. But it feels like just wanting to scratch it because who knows the solution to the problem that hit him.

Luna took off her glasses, then returned to collect the scattered files to be neatened again.

"Darling?" Adam entered Luna's study and frowned to see the wife cross her chest with a disheveled face.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you were home, honey." The woman immediately lowered her hand, approached her husband and hugged him.

"It's okay. If there is work still to be done, continue. But not too late, yeah. You also have to think about your health" Adam advised his wife.

"Please wait a minute, I'll be right down" said Luna, remembering her duty to accompany Adam to dinner.

"Let me eat alone. Have you eaten?"

"Hmmm...." Luna nodded.

"Then you're here, don't come down. Finish this, and get some rest." Adam kissed Luna on the cheek and the woman replied by rubbing her husband's back.

"Darling, I almost forgot. El wants to sleep with me tonight?"

"alright. It's okay! Don't sleep too late, yes, "Adam replied without turning around.

"OK!"

"Uncle, what are we going to do about this is a project for a new company that is still in the construction phase?"

"Both. The new company is also an old company managed by Adam" replied Ellard who is currently sitting with Stefan in his private room overlooking the lake.

"I'm not good with Luna or Adam. They're more entitled to do this to all Uncle. Luna was smart, and Adam was not inferior to his wife either," Stefan quivered to call her.

"I know better what I'm doing, young man. Again you may be great at this time, but the eyes of Ellard Efrain are never wrong. You can ask your father how I am."

Stefan just nodded his head at the sign he accepted what Ellard said. He was great in the past or now.

"I made it for Luna and Elea." Ellard said softly as she downed the brown drink she was carrying.

"Drinking too?"

"Only occasionally in winter. Luna was so chatty when she found out I was drinking. My daughter is always worried about my health." Ellard.

From the beginning of meeting to the present, having Luna is something he is grateful for after losing both his wife and Hannah.

"you know an old man like me can't stand the cold, Stef. You will experience it later if you enter the age like me" Ellard wrote to his nephew.

"Uncle should pay more attention to health. This uncle is the same as Papa. Likes stealing opportunities to drink." Stefan chuckled to remember the father who was as loud as Ellard.

"So, that company will be named Luna and El?" ask stefan to make sure.

"For the moment not. Uncle borrow your name."

"Don't me, Uncle. Just aglen. Or why not just name them both." Stefan refused the uncle's request.

The man had just started to fix everything, even with Luna's rejection attitude that made her think impossible. If coupled with this problem, it is certain that everything will get worse. Luna's hatred for him would be many times over.

"Uncle is not asking for help or asking for your opinion. It must! Because you're the only one Uncle thinks can keep this secret from everyone, as well as manage it properly."

Dead price!

"Uncle please. Let me talk to Aglen...."

Ellard stepped up while waving her hand. The middle-aged man left without listening to Stefan's refusal.

Damnit damnit!

Luna .. I'll do anything but hurt you.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Clamps!

"El still awake?" Luna's head entered partially after she opened the door of Elea's room.

The little girl nodded but could not be lied to, her eyes narrowed in drowsiness.

"El is waiting for Mama" said the little girl giving an excuse.

"Ah, my goodness. I'm sorry, Mom, honey." Luna immediately entered after she changed her pajamas earlier in her room.

"El want to read the story?" tawar Luna who has brought a collection of children's folklore in her hands.

The woman slammed into the same blanket as her little daughter.

"El is sleepy, Ma. Just hug El," said the little girl who had hugged her mother first as soon as Luna was beside her.

"I'm sorry Mama, honey. Next time I promise I'll try sooner." Luna kissed Elea on the forehead and rubbed her gently.

But Elea did not say, the little girl slept quickly.

Tonight he slept with his little daughter. Little Elea, who is mostly beautiful, is down from the handsome face of her biological father, Stefan.

Luna snorted, even for so long and so many years in Canada, she could not forget the incident at all. Moreover, every day he was treated to the face of the child who always reminded him of his cousin.

Bad guy, very! Luna held her chest that shook violently just by remembering it.

Italia

"A long time you're there, Stef?" William quipped his son who had even just arrived at his luxurious mansion in Milan.

"Papa? When's coming?" Stefan pulled out his suitcase which his servant approached to take over.

"Darling...." Christina the mother suddenly appeared from behind William. "Don't listen to your father. Come with mama," Christina pulled Stefan's arm to follow him.

"Mama! Papa wants to talk to Stefan first," cried William hastened his steps overtaken by the wife.

"No! Mama first! Come quickly, Stef, your father's fangs are coming out" whispered Christina.

Christina wants to save Stefan from his father.

"Here you rest here" said Christina who brought Stefan to the guest room.

"Why here, Ma? I want to go to my room." Stefan refused, because this guest room is certainly different from the room that is full of facilities.

"Rest here first. If you go back to your room, you can be sure you will not rest 2x24 hours and maybe more. Your father is angry."

Christina immediately left after saying it.

Clamps!

"Geez, what the hell is this? Mama locked the door?" stefan shouted from inside.

"Gather your strength to face your Father! "

That was the only answer he received. I don't know what made William angry with his son.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"For Mama, Daddy," said Elea, who was wearing her uniform. The little girl had just come down to eat her morning breakfast.

"Dear, dear" welcome Luna.

"By the morning too, sweet sleep?" adam asked his little daughter.

Elea nodded. "May I go to my grandfather's house today?"

"Of course, honey. Is Grandpa gonna pick you up in the afternoon?" tanya Luna stopped the bribe into her mouth.

"Yes. So said Aunt Ofelia earlier, Ma," answered elea as Ofelia's aunt had said.

"alright. Mama's gonna pick you up there, yeah"

"Yes!! " the shriek of El made Luna happy to see him.

After that, Elea left first. The little girl was ushered in by aunt Ofelia and Alex.

"Darling, do you want to be home overtime again? Elea'd better get home in time." Adam looked up and disagreed with Luna.

"Looks yes. Let it go Daddy. Grandpa Ellard might miss El."

"But not until night. Yesterday Aglen and now your Papa. Didn't they meet almost every day? We can go there this weekend." Adam gave reasons for his refusal.

"Late week? Don't we have a reunion with your college friends out of town?" Luna reminds Adam of his busy weekend schedule.

"I almost forgot, honey."

The man was actually on holiday only on Sundays. It was also filled with its own activities ranging from swimming, tennis and rest.

"I mean another weekend, honey." Adam is still evasive.

"You're busy, honey. Poor El." Luna blinked pleading with her eyes.

"alright. But I don't like it because it's too often" Adam lamented.

Luna remained silent. Did one of the grandfathers meet his grandson? Her husband doesn't usually behave this way.

"Darling, what if you're looking for an assistant. That will help your work" Luna proposed to her husband. He remembered Emma's words this afternoon.

"Can?"

"of course. That's not how we can be helped. You focus on your work. I can also focus on my work. But it must be the one that meets the criteria." The beautiful woman made the conditions.

Luna's last words made Adam doubtful. From the beginning of hearing the word assistant, Adam's eyes sparkled because he thought he would include Kylie alone as a candidate. But when it comes to criteria, Luna is very selective about it. It could be that this department will be released to others.

"Fresh graduated?"

"May, as long as you really want to learn, smart and hardy!"

Glucose!

It was actually a regular and absolute requirement, one that an assistant should indeed possess.

Adam smiled wryly. That criterion was none of Kylie's. The spoiled girl was even to pass the trouble. Adam had to spend a lot of money because kylie was very minimal in everything about education.

"OKAY. I'll send it to the staffing department. You take it easy, honey."

Luna nodded in relief. Lost one of its heavy burdens.

"Goddess ... This is so good. Just hurry. Means we'll have a building for VVIP customers after this, "he said happily.

This business is relatively small but it turns out that many need this kind of service. Especially with the security of sophisticated systems that he implemented to make customer trust more awake.

Architects and interior designers working on his new building held another meeting today.

"Thank you for your trust so far. I'll finish it soon."

Both sides agreed after ending their important meeting.

"Ec ... Get in my room now!" he told the secretary through the intercom.

"So soon, Mom."

Emma breezed in after both of Luna's guests walked out of her room.

"Guide me to the scene. They give us how long? "

"Yesterday, Miss Angelin's deputy said one month. But this morning they turned it into 2 weeks, ma'am."

"Two weeks and it's been three days." Luna held her temple which suddenly throbbed tensely.

"Wouldn't we just report to the police, ma'am." suggests Emma who has run out of solutions.

"No Em! The good name of our company is at stake. We'll find him. Don't forget to call me if you have any guests. I'll check it out for a minute."

"Good, Mom."

Luna goes out with Emma, but they head to their destination.

The elite building with full security was not far from Luna's office. The building was indeed made that way, so there was a bridge above that connected the two.

But in the building where Luna's office is not only occupied by him, there are several ceo from other companies also have offices there.

Luna walked alone across a bridge that was about 500 meters long to the right of her office building.

He entered after several examinations. Yes, there both customers and employees must pass a strict inspection process.

That's what makes Luna think if the incident the other day will not be possible. But again, it is man-made.
