"I didn't know, it turns out our CEO is very handsome. If you know that, I want to be his wife too. Even if he's blind, but his treasure won't be seven-inheritance."
The barrel, which was winding down in her heart in one of the toilet cubicles, fell silent and strained her ears when someone was heard talking about her husband.
"But what if not love? I really don't want to marry someone I don't love, anything else just for property." Another voice sounded chiming.
"Well, today we as women have to think realistically, life is not just about love. Can your stomach be full just with love? No, right? The most important thing is money, say."
The first person's voice came back. Barrel clenched his hand, he didn't like someone underestimating Ervin. Although Ervin does have flaws, it does not mean that it can be the subject of insults of others, what else uses it just for the sake of property.
"Who dares to talk to my husband in the office? What if he was working in my husband's office? Make a sprain," decak Laras while preparing to go outside the toilet room.
"Realistic is really necessary, but if it's too realistic even look like a matre girl anyway?" The barrel spoke while washing his hands right next to the two women who were tidying up his appearance.
Hearing the words of Laras, two women who were standing in front of the glass immediately turned their heads with curious faces. The barrel could see clearly if one of them stared at him with a flash of anger in the eyes. However, once they clearly saw who had just spoken, the two could only look down embarrassed with misbehavior.
"Mrs Laras?" muttered woman in light brown blazer shirt.
"Don't be smart and measure my husband's ability. Although he has shortcomings, at least his mouth never underestimated people, like you," said Laras while staring intently one by one the two works, then began to continue the words that made the two women seem quite surprised and frightened made. "After all, I guess you guys still need a job here, right? Or do I want to call HRD to take care of your severance now?"
The faces of the two women instantly turned deathly pale when they saw Laras' serious look. What's more, Laras went straight out of the woman's toilet, ignoring the two. They really panic not play.
As a result of the actions of the two women, Laras also forgot his nervousness because of the incident in the room with Ervin. Instead, he now walked quickly to his room, so that the two women did not dare to catch up with him again. Really, his nervousness had now changed into a very upset.
However, his steps came to a halt when the mobile phone shakes in his pocket sounded. The barrel widened his eyes when he saw the name on the flat object screen, so he hurriedly lifted it.
"Hello, sir," said Laras, sticking his phone in his ear.
"We've caught the arsonist of your factory. Can you come to the police station now?" ask someone investigating about the factory fire.
"Really, Sir? Okay, sir, I'll be there as soon as I can. Thank you, the information, sir." The barrel is fast. He was very happy, because now that one by one the problems that befell him would soon be resolved, he also became confident of winning from the shareholders and Roland.
Laras continued his steps with a face of sumringah, he was already impatient to want to say this all to Ervin. Laras is sure, if her husband will also be happy with the news he got. However, as soon as he entered the room, Laras was surprised by Ervin who was already preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Laras while approaching Ervin who was already standing not far from the entrance.
"Let's meet with the representatives of the victims, if necessary we go directly to the hospital and their respective homes to prove our seriousness in apologizing," said Ervin who had stood up from his seat.
"But, we haven't made an appointment with them, anyway I have to go to the police station immediately" said Laras who wanted to invite Ervin to join the police station.
Hearing the word 'police station' Ervin frowned deeply, before saying curiously. "Why do you want to go to the police station?"
"I heard that the police have managed to catch the perpetrators of the factory arson, they want us to come there immediately to see it" Laras replied with a smile that returned.
"really? So the culprit's been arrested?" ask Ervin. The man was still a little hesitant if the culprit would be caught so quickly.
"Yes. Therefore, we have to go there quickly to make sure," said Laras while grabbing his bag and starting to hold Ervin's hand.
"Alright, if that's how we go to the police station first," Ervin nodded as he began to step his foot out of the room, along with Laras who was faithfully always with him.
...❤🩹...
Police station ....
"Do you know the suspect?" ask the police officer who escorted them to see the suspect burning the warehouse.
Laras was silent for a moment, he really did not know that person. Apart from being in the office, he had never come to the warehouse.
"He admitted to doing this out of heartache. The perpetrator was dishonorably fired from your company one year ago for cheating, since then he can no longer get a job. Because of that, he was abandoned by his wife after their lung cancer son died five months ago," said one of the police officers who handled the case of burning the warehouse owned by Ervin company.
The barrel is turned with the hand that continues to be grasped by Ervin. The woman seemed to be very surprised by the reality that the police officer had just revealed. He did not expect that anyone would be able to do that and harm many other workers just to get revenge.
Meanwhile, Ervin seemed still speechless with a hand that never came off clutching a finger of cold fingers and shaking Baras. He knew, if this time the woman must have come back shocked because of this case. I don't know what the man was thinking in his silence, maybe only he knew?
"So he wants revenge on the company?" asked Laras with a voice that sounded vibrating.
"Yes, Madam. The suspect blames the company for all the misfortune that happened in his life" the police officer replied amiably.
Laras' eyes immediately glazed over, his feelings mixed with uncertainty. Sad, angry, and concerned, all mixed into one.
After getting an explanation from the police and seeing the suspect, Laras and Ervin chose to return home immediately. Because of the busyness of today, it did not feel like the day had already moved into the night when the two arrived at the residence.
"Tomorrow we will meet with the families of the victims, let me tell Emma to make an appointment first" Laras said as they walked into the house.
"Eum, well, I'm only allowed to not enter the office tomorrow." Laras nodded obediently.
The woman was still in shock because of the information at the police station, until she became less talkative as usual.
Ervin clasped the hand of Laras who had been still rising in his arm, until the woman looked up at the face of the husband.
"Don't think too much. Everything will be fine saha," said Ervin suddenly, as if he knew if Laras was upset.
...❤🩹...
The next day, Ervin and Laras actually went to see the families of the victims of the fire. Different from before who only rely on Emma and company lawyers to negotiate with them, now both choose to come directly and hear the wishes of the victims' families, as well as see the real condition.
"Where are we going first, sir?" asked Laras, after the two sat in the car.
"Don't call me Mister, Laras," pressed Ervin, as though he was very unhappy with the call of Baras to him.
"Eh? Not that all this time, you don't mind if I call you that?" ask Laras confused.
"Not for now" argued Ervin.
Laras seemed to be pounding softly while glancing awkwardly at the steering wheel where Herdi seemed to be smiling thinly. The woman grimaced in embarrassment, when she had to discuss such a thing in front of others.
"Who should I call then?" mumbles Baras confused.
Ervin did not answer, he just sat straight with a straight look forward, as if he did not hear Laras' words.
Without notice the car stopped in a densely populated settlement. Laras circulated his gaze in any direction, considering that now the car only stopped on the side of the road.
"Who are we going to? I thought I'd go to the hospital first?" laras asked as he continued to twist his neck, looking in any direction.
"We're going to go to the house of one of the dead, the house is in that little alley, so we're forced to walk to it."
"It's okay, sir." Baras smiled kindly at Herdi then prepared to get off the car. Meanwhile, Herdi was quick to help Ervin to get down from the other car door.
"Are you ready to meet the victim's family?" asked Laras after being beside her husband, then holding his hand.
Ervin cleared his throat slowly while nodding faintly. Laras smiled while saying excitedly. "Well, if that's the case, let's go see the victim's family."
The two also walked with Herdi as a guide. The man also brought some gifts for the families of the victims, so that Ervin and Laras were not impressed to come empty-handed.
The arrival of Ervin and Laras in the small village, of course, able to attract the attention of the residents, they whispered to each other and looked at the two with curiosity.
"If you have used the simplest clothes at home, but still the center of attention of people," grumbled Laras slowly. He had worked hard to seduce Ervin, to be willing to wear only ordinary t-shirts and simple denim pants. All Laras do so that Ervin does not look too conspicuous in the eyes of the victims' families, considering they are still in a state of mourning.
While walking down the small alley, they stopped in front of a simple farmhouse, like a marching contract. If viewed from the front, even the area of the house was smaller than Ervin's own bedroom.
"That's the house, sir, Madam." Herdi pointed to one of the houses in the third order from where they stood.
Barrel exhaled softly, he could even still see there was a pile of plastic chairs in front of the house, probably for recitation every night. His eyes looked teary when he saw a middle-aged woman using a simple negligee out the door of the house. His eyes were still soft, his face was a little pale with dark black circles around his eyes. Seeing that alone, Laras could already feel the sadness that was engulfing the middle-aged woman.
"Excuse me, Mom." Laras slowly removed Ervin's arm and took his foot closer to the woman who was carrying the plastic in her hand.
"Yes. What's up, Neng? Who's it gonna look for?" The middle-aged woman turned her attention to Laras, looking at me walah a friendly smile was seen on her face.
Laras' heart sliced, looking at that very forced-looking smile. However, even so Laras chose to hold all of that, and just act normal.
"We are from RK electronic– company" Laras started to introduce ourselves very carefully. However, his words were stopped by the pelastic throw the middle-aged woman had brought that right landed on her face. Instantly the garbage in it also scattered about the body of Laras.
"Mrs!" Herdi who was standing next to Ervin also reflexively shouted when he saw Laras thrown plastic containing garbage right on his face. However, when he wanted to help her the hand Laras raised to prevent her movement. Herdi could only go back silent with a worried staring face.
"What's up with the barrel?" Ervin panicked while looking for the whereabouts of his wife.
I don't know what Ervin would do if he found out what Laras got in that place.
"Why did you come here? We don't demand anything anymore, so don't threaten us! Is it not enough for you to take our son's life, until you can hurt my husband too, huh?!" The middle-aged woman screamed hysterically, luring her neighbors out of the house.
Meanwhile, Laras and Ervin looked surprised instead of playing. During this time between the two no one ordered to threaten the family of the victim what else to harm him. Who did that with the company name? What does it mean that they do this, making the chaos even bigger?
Again less tasty body, sorry yes, if late up😊🙏
