•^THE NEXT DAY IT'S•
This morning in the RD Corps the atmosphere looked gloomy and a little not wearing, because their President was in a bad mood.
Like the current President They are angry because there are files scattered and not done carefully. This made him very angry and scolded all the employees.
"How come you guys get so banged up like that huh!!" Said Raymond in a voice that raised his mood was not good at this time wanting him to eliminate these people but in his defense.
"I'm sorry our President is not more detailed to work on his documents we please give us the opportunity to fix it we promise to be more thorough again working on it" said one of the employees politely while looking down
Raymond just threw his dossier at them violently.
"I'll give you until the next hour when I see lunch if there's something wrong, I'll fire you' said Raymond in a very cold tone and stared at them sharply
They snuggled and immediately took the file to be repaired after which they immediately came out of the room.
Realize that Viona was just silent she was a little afraid and worried if the President was venting his anger on her.
He still loves his life and does not want to deal with the anger of his President, for him it is a big problem to deal with his President who is in a bad mood.
"Why are you just standing there like a rock?!!" Raymond snapped suddenly at Viona
Viona who got a snap was suddenly a little surprised and then turned to look at Raymond.
"Sorry President"
"Why are you apologizing. Is the file I told you to do finished?"
"Emm soon the President will be finished" replied Viona
"You did what!! Why is it not finished yet!!? Basic useless" Raymond said as he vented his anger at Viona
"I'm sorry President if long but I've been working on it and you give the file not in a small amount and my hand is only two so it's only natural if the file is finished a little long" viona said in reply to Raymond, he just didn't accept being useless
"You dare to refute my words?"raymond stared intently at Viona, then he walked up to Viona and stood in front of her
"Why are you also angry with me for the mistakes of other employees of the President? You're angry with them but I'm also affected by your anger, can't you appreciate my efforts in working on this file from now on" viona said again she emboldened herself to express what was on her mind
Raymond who was easily provoked his emotions became increasingly angry with the viona's words that defiantly denied him.
She immediately strangled the viona making her fingernails slightly stuck on the neck of the viona.
"You are only a secretary here so be aware of where you are in position never to refute or answer my words like that you understand huh!!" Raymond shouted in front of Viona's face
Viona who was in a giggle felt difficulty breathing she just tried to release the strangulation Raymond, her tears dripped because she felt very sick with Raymond's fingernails stuck in her neck.
He looked at Raymond with a sad look. Raymond who saw that gaze felt completely familiar without realizing he muttered.
"Ona.." the murmur that Viona could still hear made her very surprised by the call
"Only? He muttered the name ona? But only Almond knows the call.is the President Almond? " The inner viona looked at Raymond in disbelief
Raymond immediately released his giggles from the neck of the viona, making the viona can breathe a sigh of relief. After that Raymond just kept quiet and went back to his desk he was like looking at his Ona figure as he strangled the viona earlier.
"No Ray is impossible if he is your ona" Raymond's inner self brushed away his thoughts
"Is it true that the President is Almond? if so, why doesn't he remember me? Has he forgotten me? " think Viona who is still sad and disappointed in her childhood best friend whom she often calls almonds, then he realized something that the name of his friend was very similar to his President and his temperament was also similar.
Viona immediately decided to find out more about this.
Viona then took out a P3K box to treat the wound on her neck caused by Raymond's fingernails that had been stuck while strangling her earlier.
Raymond looked back at Viona, he felt a little guilty for venting his anger at the woman.
"I'm sorry for strangling you earlier" Raymond said, apologizing to Viona
"No papa my President is also wrong for having been presumptuous to reply to your words I also apologize for it" said Viona who also apologized for his sassiness earlier
After the two apologized, silence occurred.
"At lunch break you came with me" said Raymond suddenly
"Where is the President going?" Ask Viona who is confused
"Just don't have much to ask"Jawan Raymond then he refocused on his laptop again

Lunch break also arrived viona immediately cleaned up her work desk and down, she did not go down with her President because Raymond had first come down and waited for her in the car.
But before that she got a phone call from her other cousin, Juliany.
"Is there anything about Juliany suddenly calling me yh?" Viona muttered feeling confused he immediately raised his phone
"Well hello what's wrong" asked Viona after picking up her phone
"Hello Vio's..I want to tell you that I've been investigating more and more about the murder of your father and mother and you know the people who attacked you 11 years ago were a gang of mobsters once your father arrested and thrown in jail, they escaped from prison and planned revenge for the losses they could" Juliany told reporters

And also Viona's father is a commissioner in the police case that he handled quickly resolved and also the intelligence of his father viona in investigating the mafia and drug trafficking cases.

"Stay one step away.I'll find out who the people behind the murder are" Viona said again with a flat expression and she immediately descended to take him to Raymond who was waiting for her in the car.
He immediately sat in the front seat next to Raymond, not forgetting that he had the seatbelt attached to himself.
"Why are you taking so long?" Raymond opened the conversation and ran the car when Viona got into the car.
"Sorry President, there is an important phone that I have to pick up" Viona replied honestly
"No need to call me President if we're out of the office, just call me Ray" Raymond said without turning his gaze he was still focused on driving and looking ahead
"Alright President.eeh I mean Ray" said Viona justifies his words

Before long they had arrived at a very luxurious looking jewelry store.
Raymond and Viona went in and looked at the jewels.
"Please see the mistress in her jewelry first" said a woman who guards the store
"I'm here to pick up a pendant necklace order I ordered last week is it done?" Ask Raymond
"Oh he with master Raymond Wijaya yh? the pendant was so for a while I took it first sat down master" said the woman politely and then she went to take the order for the necklace that had been ordered by Raymond.
Viona had just been silent, she noticed the jewelry that looked very expensive.
His eyes were immediately fixed on the crescent-patterned pendant that looked simple but elegant.
Raymond who saw the direction of the viona gaze immediately understood.
"You want her?" Ask Raymond
"Eh? No Ray, I just saw the locket look beautiful" Viona replied
After that shortly afterwards the woman who took Raymond's order immediately handed him the necklace ordered by him.
"Emm Ray I came out first well" said Viona asked permission after being allowed to walk right out of the store
"My mother wanted to buy the pendant" said Raymond pointing to the pendant necklace seen by the viona earlier
The woman immediately wrapped the order from Raymond.
"So how much is this?" Ask Raymond
"Everything added the pendant that was all in total to Rp.28,980,000 master" said the woman
Raymond simply nodded and immediately took out his blackcard and handed it to the woman.
"This is good proof of payment" said the woman again and immediately handed back her blackcard card
Then Raymond immediately walked out of the jewelry store he saw the viona was standing in front of the store that sells ice cream, he then immediately approached him.
"Sir me eskrim one cup big size yh with 3 kinds of flavors, I choose the same vanilla chocolate flavor strawberry oh he love extra toping Oreo same poky yh" said viona with spirit
"Alright miss wait a moment I make" said the ice cream seller
"Do you like ice cream?" Asked Raymond who had been behind the viona earlier
"Yh I like ice cream from a long time ago" replied Viona as she was
Raymond handed over the pendant he had bought to Viona.
"Is this Ray?" Ask viona
"Just open up don't ask"
Viona opened her paper bag.
"This? That locket?" Viona asked who was surprised because the pendant she saw earlier was very expensive and now Raymond bought it for her
"Hn just think of it as my apology for the incident earlier this morning" replied Raymond who was looking the other way
"Thank you very much" said Viona who smiled sincerely
"Do you want to wear it?" Raymond asked to offer to dress the necklace to Viona
The one in question just nodded in response to him then handed him the pendant and raised a little of his hair to make it easier for Raymond to put the pendant on him.
Raymond also immediately put the pendant on the neck of the viona, looks fitting and beautiful when Viona wears it.
"This is your miss order" said the ice cream seller giving the order ice cream
Viona takes her ice cream but when she wants to pay already in advance by Raymond.
"This master is mostly money you give" said the ice cream seller because the ice cream price is only 50k but paid 200k by Raymond.
"No papa just take more for you" replied Raymond then gently pulled the hand of the viona towards the car
And this is where they sat quietly in the car.
"Oh, can I ask you a question?" Said Viona who started the conversation while eating her ice cream
"Hn go ahead" Raymond replied
"Who did you buy the other locket for?"
"That's for my sister I deliberately ordered for her" Raymond said in response to Viona's question
"Oh so" Viona did not ask again she continued to eat her ice cream
"Now that we go to my private apartment, I've got the waiter take all your clothes and stuff and move them in my apartment so we'll just go straight to my apartment" after saying that Raymond immediately drove his car to his private apartment
Viona just nodded her head while eating her ice cream. Not long after that, they arrived at the apartment.
Viona was amazed by his apartment that looks luxurious and elegant.
"Your room is next to mine if I need anything later you should always come to my room quickly" Raymond said, walking to his room
Viona walked into her room and sat down on a king-size bed. She looked at her room was up that she went straight to the bathroom to shower and change clothes.
Time skip
At night, Viona was in the kitchen preparing food for Raymond and himself,for a long time he struggled in the kitchen he immediately served the food he had cooked after he finished he went to Raymond's room to call his dinner.
Tok

"Ray's dinner ready are you going to eat?" Viona asked who was still waiting at Raymond's doorstep
Long he waited for him to enter Raymond's room which happened to be not in the key, he saw Raymond who was asleep. Then he went straight up to her and woke her up gently
"Ray wakes up for dinner" said Viona still trying to wake Raymond
"Hmm 5 minutes more anneth Abang woke up" said Raymond who still closed his eyes he thought that the one who woke him was his sister anneth
"Ray it's me Viona is not anneth let's get up" Viona said again
because of hearing the sound of Raymond's viona immediately woke up and sat on the bed.
"I'm sorry I thought my sister woke me up"
"Hm no papa, take that shower down for dinner"
Raymond just nodded and went into the bathroom, but Raymond did not realize that the photo he was holding to accompany his sleep fell and Viona saw the photo.
He also took a photo of the fall and how very surprised he was when he saw a photo of himself as a child along with a boy who had once been his best friend
"Almond" muttered viona as she shed her tears, she did not expect that Raymond's President had been her childhood friend, when he heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened he quickly wiped away his tears but he forgot to put the photo on the table making Raymond who saw him feel a little angry.
"Never touch my things you may stay here but never touch my personal belongings" Raymond said coldly and pressurized in every word and snatched the photo
Viona who heard Raymond's words was silent, she wanted to tell Raymond that he was an ona but she said she wanted Raymond to recognize her on his own without him having to tell her.
"I'm sorry that the picture fell so I took it to put it on the table" Viona said
"Hn now you're out of my room" said Raymond still in a cold tone
Viona could only nod and walk out of Raymond's room, she went downstairs and waited for Raymond.
"I think you've forgotten me Almond.but apparently you don't still keep a picture of us both, I'm not going to tell you who I really am I want to see if you can recognize me or not" viona said she wiped the tears on her cheeks and sat on the dining table chair waiting for Raymond to come.
After Raymond finished changing clothes he was about to go down but stopped because of a phone from someone.
"Hn what's up?"ask Raymond
"Sorry you found out who told people to infiltrate Headquarters he was a man of the Red Blood mob chief..and they're targeting the weapons we ordered and they're making plans to block the ship that's going to dock at the port" Fabio told Raymond's confidant
"Thank you for the info you can go back to checking on them we prepare everything tomorrow to reply to them" Raymond replied and then turned off his phone
"Hn Red Blood mafia apparently you want to play with me apparently. well I follow the flow of your game" said Raymond with his demonic smile.
after that she went downstairs and saw the viona who was waiting for her.
He sat down and ate with Viona. There was no conversation between them, only silence .
