Madelin Tough Women
3. Jonatan's Offer

Meanwhile, Jonatan is busy talking to Micel through his smartphone. He conveyed the situation that was happening and asked Micel to come immediately. Micel who was initially confused, finally agreed to come and give an explanation.

After waiting for a moment that seemed to pass slowly, Micel arrived at the cafe. Her face was surprised to see Jonatan and Madelin sitting there with tense expressions, while Madam Lily sat on the other side with an exasperated expression. The woman looks like she's holding back constipation.

"Gosh, what the hell is going on here?" Micel said as he tried to hold back his laughter looking at this chaotic situation.

Jonatan smiled with relief at Micel. "Oh hi, Micel! It's good you came at the right time. Here's the situation I'm currently considered to have a 'special relationship' with Madelin by Mrs Lily. I want to prove that this is just a misunderstanding."

Micel laughs. "It's really like a soap opera, huh? Okay, give me a few minutes to explain."

Micel takes a seat and gives an explanation that he is Jonatan's real date. He mentioned that the plan to meet at this cafe was prearranged, and the bouquet of flowers was a gift because Jonatan wanted to practice giving flowers to a woman.

Lady Lily felt awkward and a little embarrassed over this incident. He devoured his own plan. But he did not want to lose, so he decided to leave just like that, but before actually leaving he glanced at the woman named Micel with an arrogant glance.

"Oh so you're apparently Jonatan's date. But it seems, your face is not too beautiful because as I recall this Jonatan is very crazy about beautiful women," said Mrs Lily. He deliberately did that with the intention of humiliating Jonatan.

Jonatan smiles. He held Micel tight. Show it with pride. "Beautiful she is beautiful. But it seems like someone who is used to seeing things, just by knowing the beauty of the outside, is just a person who does not have a heart as a human being" Jonatan said.

There was a clear frown on Madam Lily's forehead, she felt insinuated until she finally left.

"Mrs Lily, you better go to my beauty clinic. Looks like your wrinkles have popped up a lot. I'll give you a discount later." Even Jonatan still did not stop voicing his insinuations, even though Lady Lily had left.

"Really, what am I doing?" Lady Lily stroked her temple with her hands, feeling ashamed of her own actions.

Madelin stepped closer to him and smiled. "Mother, is this Mom's plan to bring me to Jonatan?"

"Shut up!" snapped Madame Lily growled. He quickened his pace, his shame and anger had reached the crown, he then left Madelin just like that when the car had arrived in plain sight.

Madelin just smiled. "Be careful Mom, please don't remember too much today's events" he said politely and gently.

Lady Lily did not pester, she ignored him and pretended like she was not looking.

As Miss Lily left, Madelin let out a heavy sigh. "Thank God .. nothing happened" he murmured.

Madelin then turned around and was about to say goodbye to Jonatan. Although his encounter with Jonatan was quite surprising, at least he could be a little grateful that thanks to the man he could avoid Lady Lily's rotten plans.

"You don't want to, I'm taking you home?" bargain Jonatan.

"Just a second. Please .. Give me a chance to talk." Suddenly Jonatan looked serious.

"I don't deserve to ruin your time. Besides, Micel doesn't seem comfortable if I linger here." Madelin looked at Micel with a sad look.

Micel shakes. "It's okay. Miss, let Mr. Jo talk, I think if you get here, you can give him a little time, I beg you" Micel said, pleading with Madelin.

Madelin was a little surprised by Micel's rapid change. If previously, Micel was seen acting as Jonatan's date, now it is clear from his changing formal style of speech that shows that it seems Jonatan is a person he greatly respects.

Madelin felt bad. Inevitably, he eventually relented and let Jonatan talk.

Jonatan smiles. "I'm grateful to you for giving me a chance. Previously introduced he was Micel. This woman is my personal assistant, Micel has a job dealing with my personal matters. Therefore, he should always be ready when I ask for his help. And regarding the incident earlier, it seems that you yourself are sensitive to Lady Lily's attitude earlier?"

"of course. Regardless, I feel uncomfortable with you, I'm still grateful for your help just now." Madelin honestly did not want to get too into this and tried to avoid the topic. "If, there's nothing you want to talk about important, let me go home."

"Wait a minute, Madelin. Ah I'm sorry, if it's too long-winded. I want to talk to you about this, because we've met, I really want to help Sam fix his business." Jonatan looked at Madelin.

"Sam doesn't like you, it's gonna be hard." Madelin.

Jonatan. "I won't interfere. I'm going to introduce Sam to a guy named Mark, he's very experienced in the business world and I think he can help Sam. You must know Mark Zen, he's famous, right?"

"Mark Zen of course I know him. He is known as a figure who is often sought by entrepreneurs, when the business they build is destroyed and in crisis. As the rumors say, he can restore a bankrupt company back to success quickly" said Madelin.

Jonatan nodded his head. "really. I'm gonna introduce that guy to Sam. And I won't interfere and just watch from afar. Even if, Mark fails to help Sam, I'll give you a replacement, how's Madelin?" bargain Jonatan.

Madelin thought for a moment. "Why did you get this far?"

"You don't have to think complicated Madelin, you just have to say yes or no. But if you say yes, I will help and also tell you about an interesting secret related to Sam. How's it?"

"Please don't play Jonatan!"

"I'm not playing Madelin. If you don't believe me, you can see this." Jonatan smiled obliquely, he then took out two photos where, in the first photo seen, he took out two photos, a picture of a young Sam with a little girl who looks the same age as him is holding hands. And in the second photo, Sam is seen now, hugging a woman who looks young, but in the second photo it is not very clear the woman's face.

"Where did you get this?" madeelin asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter where I got it, but this second photo I got recently. Just so you know Madelin, Sam in this photo is when the situation is bankrupt. Whether you believe it or not. But I will tell you something interesting, if you will accept my help. How's Madelin?"

Madelin bit her own lips, she felt confused as well as worried.
