Loosely Paid, CEO Beautiful
Flashbacks

Ryan returned to the office, after explaining to Nadine's parents that they were joking. Nino also promised Nadine's parents that she would marry Nadine after Nadine finished college.

The matter was over, Nadine's parents were willing to accept Nino. He promised not to hurt his son later in life.

Ryan returned to the office with a heart of relief. Because now he no longer has any problems, he was no longer even interested in matching his son with Amman's son.

For him the happiness he now feels is more than enough, after all he has nothing to lose if he does not cooperate with Amman. His company is not dependent on Amman company, it is Amman company that depends on him. Because Amman company suffered a lot of losses due to competitor products that he created.

"Why do you leave me?"

Arka's voice was still heard in Ryan's ear. The old man's eyes were still teary-eyed withstanding the cries, when he remembered that. Still imagined in his mind when Nino said about Arka who had been aware, even before Ryan knew it.

"Dad, daddy remembers Arka. The one who came here at that time, Sinar Surya Company employee." asked Nino at that time.

"Yes, why?" Ryan asked Nino.

"He was the same wife in an accident."

"Yes, daddy knows. Daddy found the culprit."

"Well, are you serious?." Nino doesn't believe me.

"Yes, I know his wife is your ex. Right?"

Nino nodded. I don't know where Ryan knows it, which is exactly what it is.

"What did Rani do?" ask Nino then.

"Rani?" Ryan frowned.

"Yes, we suspect one person. Amanda's friend, Rani's name." said Nino.

"No, the culprit is Arka's friend. Doni."

"Doni?"

"Yes, Arka's management partner. No other perpetrators are suspected at this time. But maybe Doni can be interrogated, if there's anyone else behind him."

"But dad, we also suspect one person. Rani comes to the room where they are being treated, Rani says that she wants to kill Amanda. Arka had recorded Rani's speech."

"Arka recorded Rani's speech?" Ryan seemed confused, because Arka and Amanda were in an unconscious condition.

"Yes, they were conscious on the third day."

"What?" Ryan was in disbelief.

"Really?"

Ryan's face panicked. He remembered that on the third day, he had come and admitted that he was Arka's real father.

"I am so sorry, Arka. I leave you and your mother. The circumstances of that time did not allow daddy to stay here, and again daddy already has a wife and also Ansel. A few years later, daddy came back to look for you, but daddy lost you. Daddy came back again, moments before adopting Nino. But again daddy failed to find you."

Ryan sobbed at Arka's side, those were the words he said at the time. And now Nino said something that made her very surprised.

"Dad, why?" ask Nino.

Ryan sighed and chose not to answer. But living for years with Ryan, Nino knows exactly who his adoptive father is. How his attitude and nature in hiding something.

"Dad, Nino knows there's a secret daddy kept."

"Nino, daddy doesn't keep any secrets."

"Look at this."

Nino showed her phone screen, which presented a picture of her father as a young boy. Along with the latest photo of Arka.

"Who's that?" ask Ryan.

Again Ryan sighed and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Dad."

"He is your brother."

Ryan replied while looking at Nino, Nino was not too surprised. Because he suspected this, since he found a photo of Arka and also a photo of his father in the past.

"Do you know?"

"No." said Ryan trying to renege.

Although now he was afraid, if Arka actually already knew it. Because he himself did not know, the third day at what time, Arka and Amanda began to roar. It could be that by the time he came, Arka and Amanda were actually conscious.

"Why daddy didn't tell Arka, he deserves to know about this."

"She deserves it and daddy is afraid to face it. Daddy is afraid to face the hatred of children. You, Ansel, and Arka."

Ryan tried to take a breath, between the air that suddenly felt thin.

"Daddy may have power, money, etc. But imagining what it's like to be hated by your own child is the scariest."

"That's a consequence, dad. Daddy makes mistakes, so never avoid them. Take responsibility for all that, even though daddy will be hated by Arka. Daddy has to say all this, because Arka deserves to know."

"Excuse me, sir."

Someone's in Ryan's room. Nino and Ryan stopped the conversation.

"Nino has to teach, dad." said Nino later. Ryan nodded, Nino finally left the place.

***

A few hours before that, Ansel caught up with Intan who was in a hurry to avoid him.

"Content."

"Intan, wait...!"

Intan did not touch Ansel, and instead went running.

"Intan, until when we have to chase kayak gini. Ntar did not realize that we had run until Korea."

"Where can, people have the sea." cried Intan as he continued to run.

"You can run on the sea."

"Ninja times ah." Intan kept running until later, Ansel caught him.

"Take off Ansel, or I scream."

"Shut up or I'll rape" Ansel said later.

"Please if you want to be thumped by the people here." Intan threatened Ansel.

"Intan, not that. Shit first." This time Ansel said in a serious tone, while Intan turned his face the other way.

"Look at me...!"

Intan still turned her face away.

"Look at me, Intan." Ansel said later. Intan finally looked at her lover's face.

"I'm the same Lita, not what you're accusing me of."

"Why didn't you just order me?"

"I think because I just met my old friend, it's not polite that I keep playing. And again...."

"Oh, then do not reply to messages from people who love you, polite?" Intan scouted Ansel, before Ansel continued his words.

"No, I know it's wrong and I'm sorry. Lita was honest with me that day, if daddy asked her to come near me. To separate me and you. Because daddy wants to match me up with his old friend's son. That's why I did not reply to your message, because I want to know more about the story. Lita and I went to find a place to talk and we talked about daddy. After that I went to daddy and got him into a fight. Daddy stayed on his feet and I stayed on my stand. Finally a few days ago daddy gave up and said he wouldn't force his kids again."

Intan looked at Ansel.

"What's right, said daddy. You used to have a lot of women in your country."

"I've been in contact with some women, but then we split up for one reason or another. Not because I like changing partners at will, not because I'm a jerk. Daddy was just trying to keep you away from me and he's regretting it now."

Intan sighed and slightly lowered her head.

"Intan, I love you. Please."

"Crocodile." Intan said and smiled.

"It's okay I'm a crocodile, the important thing is you."

Ansel hugged Intan and the two made up. At the same time, Satya and Deni appeared and threw the two with sandals.

"Woi, mulu dating. Tan's work, work." Satya said later.

He and Deni just came out of the Padang restaurant, they bought food ordered by office people. He was still wearing the sandals that he used to wear in the office when his legs were sultry.

"I went back to work first, yeah." Intan said later.

Ansel hugged Intan once more, then let the woman back into the office.
