Love Heals Wounds
54. Knower

Audrey is reading PT's monthly report. Danur Pearls. The company's profits continue to increase even though they do not extend their cooperation with several famous jewelry stores. The girl smiled satisfied with the performance of their employees.

"Sir Charly, please arrange a bonus for all employees early next month" he asked.

"None right." Mr. Charly looks happy in Audrey's good faith.

"O yes, can you organize the workshop of processing of shellfish meat and shell waste? To the source let me find him."

"certain Miss. Who's participant?"

"For shell meat we can work together with the mothers of villagers around the company. For linbah shells, we involve craftsmen and ordinary people. How do you know there are interested and talented to be a craftsman as well."

Charly was speechless, he thought for a bit while looking at Audrey.

"What is Miss's purpose?"

Audrey looked up at Mr. Charly with a smile. "I just want Danur to have a positive impact on the community around sir. We grow and live together."

Mr. Charly smiled at the answer. "I'll arrange it soon."

"Thank you sir. If this afternoon the sea is shady I want to go to the island to see the activities there."

"Yes, but I'm sorry I can't go there."

"It's okay sir, I understand."

Audrey resumed her work when a message came to her phone. He smiled when he saw who was sending the message.

Brother Aaron:

Don't forget to eat hon.

A red hue appeared on her beautiful face, the busyness made her forget to contact her future husband. Never mind contacting, he himself sometimes forgets where to put the phone.

Audrey:

Yes brother. Brother as well yes.

In his office Aaron smiled reading a message from Audrey. The girl will only be romantic if she has to. Looks like he has to make sense for Audrey to call him just like he did when he beat up Billy.

Across the table Sofia looked at Aaron's face closely. The sweet smile that Aaron directed at his phone made Sofia envious. It had been over a month since Sofia's arrival at the Bagaskara mansion, but there had been absolutely no progress in her efforts.

"Aaron, your aunt asked you to go to her shop. He said he asked to be delivered to Bram's house."

"Yes pa. Now?"

"Yes, now."

"Sofia accompany ya sis." the girl offered herself.

"Sorry Miss Marthen, Gustaf needs you to check on the field. Didn't Marthen give you a task to help us?"

"Y-yes sir." Sofia stammered at Bagaskara Saka's sharp gaze.

Meanwhile Aaron's been gone since his father told Sofia's function in their office. Sofia stole a glance towards the door with a vexation clearly visible on her face.

Unlike Aaron who looks relieved to be separated from Sofia. A girl who claims to be educated and classy but whose behavior does not match what is said.

Aaron arrives at The Jewel in time, Tika has been waiting in front of the Shop. He got on as soon as Aaron stopped the car.

"Good afternoon Auntie, so hurry." said Aaron.

"Good day my handsome nephew. You will feel it later when you get married" Tika said as she tied her seatbelt.

Aaron smiled hearing that, because he was also impatient to ask for his love.

"When did Audrey come home?"

"Looks tomorrow. With his grandparents."

"Tante sure you can't wait to get acquainted with them."

"Of course."

"Audrey is a great girl, even though she has only been a few months into the directorship of Danur Mutiara, she quickly mastered the task."

"Geez Aaron! What's up?!" yell Tika panicked.

Aaon looked at his aunt curiously, he drove off the car and looked for a safe place to park for a while.

"Director?" this time he looked at Tika with his brows furrowed.

"Audrey didn't tell you?" instead of answering, Tika asked back. The young man just shook his head slowly as the answer.

Tika gave a rough sigh. "Audrey wouldn't have told me if I hadn't been asked. Don't you know that?"

Once again Aaron just shook his head, making Tika feel guilty.

"His grandfather owned a company engaged in the cultivation of shells and produced the best pearls in the country. A few months ago after they made up, her grandfather gave the company to Audrey."

"How does auntie know?"

"Because aunt asked. It was one week that Audrey left, and when the aunt asked for a new design, she said she was still a little busy."

Aaron finally returned to his car. She was disappointed not to hear from Audrey. But he also realized, all this time he had never asked his girl about his activities when they were not together.

"You are not her boyfriend, but her future husband. Auntie, it's only natural that you ask a lot of questions about Audrey. Because love alone without a deep introduction to the couple, will not be enough to maintain the household." Tika started giving advice.

"Especially there's a lot we cover about Audrey when you first met. Complete your curiosity about him, it is not only your right, but also your duty. Obligation if you want to be a husband who can guide him and become a leader in the family."

"How can you guide him if you don't know him well?"

Tika's long explanation opens up a new understanding for Aaron. The cloud on his face disappeared, the young man smiled.

"Well aunt, from now on I will try to take my time to get to know the nature and character of my future wife."

"Yes, gotta! Because it is necessary to maintain your marriage. Beauty and good looks can fade. But if you get to know your partner well, like anything he seems, your feelings won't change."

Aaron smiled and glanced at his tant. He is grateful to have a aunt who can sometimes fill the position of a mother who has died.

The next day Aaron came to visit, after dinner he sat in a chat with Audrey's family. Sebastian understands Aaron wants to spend time with Audrey, so he asks his daughter to take Aaron to the park.

"Drey, what's your job right now?" Aaron opened the conversation.

"Now Audrey takes care of PT. Danur Pearl. Although not at maximum. Grandpa still helps out a lot. Also Mr. Charly, grandfather's confidant."

"What time did it come at the inauguration of the resort?"

"Yes, brother."

"You like that job?"

"Not really." Audrey grimacing. "But as long as it's still in guidance it feels a bit fun. Not because Audrey wants to lose responsibility. But Audrey's not used to it."

"What about after we get married?"

"Audrey will be staying with her sister. The company can be taken care of Mr. Charly. Audrey only needed to monitor occasionally. Grandpa agreed too."

Aaron rubbed the top of Audrey's head gently. "Where will you go, brother?"

"Of course." the girl looked at Aaron, the look on his face was serious.

"What do you want to know about Audrey? Whenever you want to ask, Audrey will answer. I'm sorry if there's so much that's been hidden from my sister." Audrey looked at Aaron's eyes gently, the young man grabbed his girl's hand and kissed affectionately.

"All right, tonight we're gonna do a question and answer. Are you ready, Grand Miss Sebastian?"

"Yes Young Master Saka, I'm ready" Audrey said with a funny face.
