" Why don't you tell me Mark invited this many reporters !" elbert said with an angry face as they arrived at this event.
" I'm sorry, Mr. .. I don't know either. Mr Mark said he only invited a few senior journalists. I'm also confused, why did he invite this much ?" john was as upset as Elbert.
" We'll just go home then. Call Mark and tell him that I told you to cancel my arrival to this show !" elbert said he was going back in
into the car.
" Okay, Mr ....!" John agreed because he also did not like being in a place that was too crowded.
Moreover, Mark seemed to deliberately lie, so that Elbert would come.
But just now, when they were walking not too far away, Mark chased after them.
It just so happens that Mark's assistant, who just returned from the toilet, sees when Elbert and John leave and cancels their intention to enter the ballroom where the event is held.
Mark immediately chased after them as soon as his assistant told him
to him.
" Elbert, why don't you go inside ?" mark asked after he got close to them.
" Do you forget, what conditions I give if you want me to be present at this product launching event ! Don't you feel like you've made a mistake !" elbert said and looked at Mark intently.
" I'm sorry, El .. yes, I remember the terms you gave me. At first I only invited senior reporters, just like you asked. But since it's a big event so the reporters who didn't get an invitation from me filed a protest. For a few days, before the product we want to launch, they come and make money in my company. So, since I didn't want to make this matter even bigger, I was very forced to end up inviting them as well. For this I apologize and beg your understanding." Mark said at length with a sorry face.
John looked at Elbert's face that still looked so upset.
" Please, Elbert .. I told them that you're going to launch this product !" mark pleaded.
" No ! You're the only one who did it. This is your company anyway. I'm just the owner of the capital" said Elbert as he walked away ignoring Mark's words.
" Please Elbert ... I was wrong for not telling you. If you leave, this event must be a failure and mess because of the cause so many journalists who want to come because of your big name" Mark said while kneeling with a clear face.
" What are you doing ! Stand ! " said Elbert annoyed, because what Mark did has attracted the attention of some people who were there.
" No, I will remain on my knees before you cancel your intention to go home and will remain present at the event" Mark insisted.
" Well, I'll cancel my intention to leave. Satisfied you are !" elbert was furious.
Elbert was forced to follow Mark's wishes as more people stood watching them.
" Thank you, El .. You are indeed the best of friends !" said Mark rose with a smile of satisfaction because it had succeeded in persuading Elbert.
" But there are conditions. If you can't accept my terms, I'll leave and not care even if you intend to kill yourself in front of me !" elbert said with a cold face.
John smiled in anguish at Elbert's words. Definitely El, will have Mark do something that will keep him safe from the reporters.
" Well, I'll agree to whatever terms you say. As long as you stay present, " said Mark with a reassuring face Elbert.
" Hmm .. I'd like to go inside if you provide a mask for me and for everyone present inside. I don't want my face to be known to everyone" said Elbert flatly.
Mark was surprised at the conditions Elbert wanted. Though so many guests are enthusiastic to come to attend this event because they want to see firsthand Elbert's face.
But if Mark doesn't agree with what Elbert says, then Elbert will leave soon. Precisely this will make Mark will experience greater losses.
" All right, I agree. I'll contact my assistant to provide the mask you want. While waiting, you and Jhon should sit in a private room only. "ultimately Mark chose to budge and immediately contact his assistant in front of Elbert and John.
" Hmm .. " said Elbert.
Then Mark took Elbert and Jhon to a private room in this hotel that he specifically ordered to Elbert while waiting for the event not yet started.
Mark hurried off to report this change to all the guests present.
Of course all the guests who heard about this became excited. Because of how possible at a product launch event, guests present must wear masks.
Moreover, they were so enthusiastic to come because they wanted to see Elbert. If they wear masks, how can they see their faces.
Although it is actually legitimate - legitimate. Because the event made Mark more like a party compared to an event to promote a product.
Finally after waiting for a while, the mask Elbert wanted was already available.
Mark then told each guest to wear a mask that was shared by his employees.
Only after he saw that everyone was wearing masks did Mark return to Elbert and Jhon's room and give them both masks.
"All guests are wearing masks, El ... Are we getting in now, Elbert ?" Mark asked first, so that Elbert would not change his mind again.
" Hmm ... !" sahut Elbert brief.
" Thank you, bro ... !" mark is happy.
Not long after, Elbert entered the ball room with John and Mark, without experiencing obstacles.
Of course Elbert was not the center of attention because of the mask he was wearing.
" Please sit down, Elbert, Jhon ..I'll start the show." said Mark ushered the two of them in a special VVIP seat.
Mark then walked towards the stage and began to open the show.
" Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for taking the time of Mr and Miss to be present at the launch event of our latest products. As you already know, today as the largest owner of capital in this project is already present with all of us. For that I will not waste any longer I invite Mr. Elbert to immediately inaugurate the launch of this product ", said Mark eagerly calling Elbert.
All the guests who were present at the scene and looking for the figure who had been waiting for - wait since.
Especially the women, who are very eager to get acquainted and close to Elbert. Especially after they found out even though they did not directly see , that the owner of the big companies that exist was still young and very handsome.
They do not believe and do not care about the news they hear that Elbert is engaged to Claire.
Because they believe the news is Claire who deliberately spread it in order to marry Elbert.
Elbert's proof remains that she never wanted to show her face in public, although Claire confidently told the media that Elbert would do what she wanted, to show her face to the public.
Elbert with a mask covering his face along with Jhon, walked towards where Mark stood to immediately inaugurate this product officially launched.
All the guests grew curious about the figure behind the mask. Especially women and journalists. A great curiosity caused them to stand up and walk closer to Elbert.
" Well, wearing a mask still looks handsome ! How about if you see the real face, yes .. "cock one of the female guests present.
" Yes, you're right. Must be pretty."
" Oh, what a pity, we can't see Mr. Elbert's real face."
" It must be ... ! How could Mr. Elbert want a fiancee with him.
Although he was also rich and the descendant of a great businessman but his face was ordinary."
" Yes, so he tried to ensnare Mr. Elbert by issuing news of the engagement is not true by breaking into the apartment Mr. Elbert !".
" Huh, how cheap!" .
All the insults they put out for Claire who they think deliberately spread false news in order to be with Elbert.
" n ... ! Female base j****g ... ! How dare they insult me in the back. Just look what I'm gonna do ! Let all of you cry d***h after this !" as a masked woman who heard all the insults.
Meanwhile, after Elbert officially launched the product, he returned to his seat with John.
Several reporters approached him and took some pictures. They did not care even though his face was not visible as a whole.
Some even tried to interview him. But strictly speaking, John rejected them.
Mark was also forced to banish them all so that Elbert would not grow angry with him.
" I've finished my part. I'm home now !" elbert said to Mark.
" Please, El ... in a moment, yes ! Because your presence makes all the women present here buy our products a lot. This is also for the sake of our effort. There's still something important I want to tell you anyway." Mark asked.
" Hm ... But I was in the private room just waiting for him. They won't know, I'm still here ! After all, my face was invisible " said Elbert .
" Okay, I agree. I'm staying away, El .. I have to say hello to some guests." said Mark after successfully holding Elbert to stay here.
Elbert did not answer Mark's words, he just stared coldly.
" Mister Elbert, excuse me for a moment. My stomach hurt !" john told Elbert after Mark left them.
" Hm ... Don't be long ! I'm waiting for you in the private room ! " said Elbert as he rose from his seat.
" Okay, Mr ...!" answer John.
He also rushed to the toilet.
As soon as John left, Elbert walked into the private room. It
smiled faintly when he managed to get out without anyone recognizing him.
Elbert leisurely sat down on the sofa that was in the private room.
While waiting for John and Mark, Elbert saw a gallery on his phone. He looked back at the photo of Felicie, the face of the little girl he so longed for.
But the fun is interrupted because someone is knocking on the door of this room. Although upset, Elbert had to get up and open the door.
" What's up ?" asked Elbert coldly.
" I'm sorry, Mr ... Mr. Mark told me to deliver this food and drink to Mr. " said a male servant carrying a stroller filled with food and drink.
" Hmm ... put it there ! " said Elbert.
" Okay, Mr ... !" sahat the waiter.
After putting the food and drink he brought, the waiter excused himself to come out to Elbert.
" Thank you, Mr ... Excuse me !" the waiter smiled as Elbert gave him a tip before leaving the room.
Elbert just nodded his head and sat back down and began to look at Felicie's picture again as he took a glass of drink.
But for some reason, his head suddenly dizzy and his eyes began to feel heavy. Elbert realized that the waiter must have put something in the drink. Elbert tried to keep his eyes open to avoid falling asleep.
But even though he had tried very hard, slowly his eyes began to close without being able to prevent it anymore.
Elbert opened his eyes slowly because his head was still dizzy, when faintly he heard the sound of a woman crying in between the noise and some light or light that hit his face.
As soon as he opened his eyes wide, Elbert was surprised to see that he was in a room and not wearing clothes.
Especially the ones that make it the most
not believing in his vision, there was Claire who was also not wearing the same clothes as him. They were covered in thick blankets.
The door was forcibly opened by several journalists who were taking photos of the two of them.
Although not yet recovered, but Elbert realized that he entered into a trap set by Claire. It feels like Elbert I*ha** Claire right now, for daring to set her up.
Even with his cunning, he pretended to cry with a face that looked so sad in front of all the reporters who took their photos.
While John who did not find Elbert in the private room immediately looked for him.
How surprised Jhon when he saw a lot of journalists crowded who were taking photos of a room whose door was open.
Suddenly a bad thought came to his head.
" Don't Don't .... ?" muttered Jhon while rushing over to the crowd of reporters.
It turned out to be true what he was thinking. John sees Elbert and Claire in the same bed and their bodies covered in a thick blanket.
" You're all out right now !" jhon said snapping at them all in a loud voice.
" Don't .. You guys don't go !
Wait for me to put on my clothes first, so I can tell you the truth, " Claire said without any embarrassment.
After she finished saying that, Claire got out of bed wearing a towel that she accidentally placed nearby. Then he went to the bathroom and immediately put his clothes back on.
He came out after he was dressed, then met with reporters who wanted to hear his clarification of this incident.
Elbert, unable to contain his anger, rushed up with a blanket covering his body and took his clothes that were already scattered on the floor, and then put them on in the bathroom.
After getting dressed, Elbert came out and approached Claire who was talking seriously to the reporter at the door of this room. Elbert slapped Claire's cheek hard, until the corner of her lips bled.
Of course this incident made journalists immediately immortalize it.
