"Okay, it's my turn."
Criating…
Damian's intention to tell a story instantly came to a halt as his phone suddenly rang.
The man asks permission to pick up his phone to Calya and walk away. While Calya who had to wait also finally took her phone to check some incoming messages.
Damian returned a short while later after he finished receiving the phone call.
"Hmmm.I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Said the man feeling bad.
"No problem." Answer Calya.
But Damian's face still looks uncomfortable. Calya who realized that again asked "Did something happen?"
"No. Actually.yeah." yeah."
"What's? How do you really mean?"
"You remember the executives' plans to find new investors?"
"The plan you discussed with me back then, didn't you?"
"Yes. That plan."
"Why indeed?"
"One of the investors suddenly asked to hold a meeting today. More like 30 minutes."
"So that means, you want to leave me now and renege on our deal?"
"Defying feels inappropriately wrong. Maybe we could call delay."
Calya clucked resentfully listening to the man's defense. Even more upset because of the reasons Damian gave he could not refute or blame. Now the woman felt stupid.
"I'm so sorry. But only promise, will definitely keep it next time. How's it?"
Damian cupped his hands together so that Calya would not get angry at him. Although in his position he could have just left immediately after giving an excuse. But he's not that kind of person.
"That's it. You can go now." In the end Calya could only endure her sense of regret.
"I'll tell you soon." Damian said as he moved.
"Just.. Go, please." Reply the woman tried not to care.

Several men in suits were seen gathering inside the meeting room. The higher-ups of the two different companies were seriously discussing the plans of the two companies. But for the middle-aged men there, it seems they are more interested in expressing their wishes and complaints than the direction where the two companies can stand side by side.
“The last ad model you used was in a scandal. It is better if you can pay attention to the background before choosing the model in the future.” said the man with a thick mustache.
“Take it easy, Sir. If you want us to produce ads for your company, we make sure to use the best models. Provided, with a budget that is more than reasonable of course.” replied the thick bearded man.
“Do not only the best models. If the model is more friendly will also be very good.” added the man with white hair on his eyebrows.
“Whatever it is you guys just make the list, and we will immediately find it according to your wishes.” replied the man with a birthmark under his eyes.
The four middle-aged men laughed immersed in their laughter and conversation. Something they find fun, but not for the guy on the other end. The man in the gray suit felt like he was in a different world. For him a conversation that did not fit the theme of the meeting was very annoying. But fortunately it didn't last long.
“Excuse me. Sorry I'm late.” Damian who was a few minutes late immediately entered the room. The man who just got the notice about the meeting was grateful not to spend too much time on the road.
“Please join, Damian.” says man with mustache. Invite the man to stand next to her so she can introduce him to the guests. “Include. This is Erza Damian. Our youngest executive.”
“Happy to meet you.”
“So this is Damian. No problem too late. It's natural for young people to be late on weekends. Isn't that right, Cavero?” said the thick-moustached man to the man in the gray suit. Cavero, who was also the youngest among the guests there, smiled modestly and shook hands with Damian.
A moment after Damian arrived the four middle-aged men were about to restart their delayed conversation. It was fortunate that Damian who had memorized such a situation instantly changed things. Strictly speaking, the man brought the conversation back on the topic of their meeting, the cooperation plan of the two companies and the investment to be provided.
The meeting went well. Thanks to the role of Damian not only the cooperation that was successfully agreed but also avoided conversations that took up their valuable time. At least some of those who really wanted to leave had managed to escape.
“Excellent presentation, Damian. I am very much looking forward to our cooperation in the future.” said the man as he reached out.
“I also really hope that our cooperation can go well in the future. Once again thank you for the opportunity.” Damian replied humbly.
“Tidak.. no. actually I have to thank.”
“Thank you? Thank you for?”
“Save me from the boring old men's conversations.”
Damian was slightly surprised by the man's words which were very frank. But it must be admitted that Cavero expresses the situation better than himself.
“Next I will need your help” Cavero said again.
“Of course. What help is it?”
“In the future if the same situation will happen again, please save me again. Because honestly, I'm not as good at stringing words together as you are. If I were the one talking, it would be a provocation.”
Cavero's honesty made Damian laugh this time. But those words also show that they have the same view of one thing and that's a good start.
“Alright, I won't hold you much longer. See you later.”
“Good, then I'm sorry.” Damian re-entered his car and this time completely left the place.
“Cavero Nalendra.. attractive man.”.

“Sandyakala.”
“Sandyakala?”
“You guys didn't know. The top property company. Owner of many elite housing, several shopping malls and high-rise buildings in the city center.”
“Ooohh... So you mean those who invested into this company?”
“Iya. Will we move to a bigger new building?”
“Why could that be?”
“Because if a well-known property company is part of our investors. Not that at least we can get better building facilities?”
“Ah, time yes?”
“Pssstt. pssttt. sweet kids. If you guys have finished the story we change using this room, yes?”
The newly arrived Qeiza and Calya in the pantry stop the story and the morning delusion of Rana and Davidya. The two girls hurriedly returned to their room.
“You've heard the news, Cal?”
“Newly this morning. Why do you think they suddenly agreed to invest in this company, huh?”
“Maybe for imaging.”
“Printing?”
“Lately there have been rumors circulating about Sandyakala.”
“What rumors?”
“Bias. Rich man drama.”
“What rich man's drama?”
“Ituu.. legacy issues.”
“Oooh...” says Calya doesn't really care. For a moment the woman thought, will the drama give trouble to this company later? Because if he does, he should avoid. The woman really didn't want to get into trouble again this time.
