Marrying the Depression Master
CH-28 General Meeting of Shareholders (part 1)

Jack opened the door to his room, Mr. Beni was already standing there. When he saw Jack was neat with his suit, he smiled, he felt moved.

“You why?” ask Jack.

“The wife really has made Mister look cool,” replied Mr. Beni.

Jack nodded, touching his tie. She was glad Ara had her tie set.

“I'm ready, My wife is still getting ready,” Jack said, stepping out the door and closing the door to her room. She left the room with Beni.

Under the stairs they cross paths with Mr. Ferdi. Jack's stepfather looked at Jack, saw him from top to bottom, then smiled cynically.

“You are seriously going to come to the meeting place?” ask Mr.Ferdi.

“Iya,” replied Jack.

“Until you meet there,” said Mr. Ferdi, he also left the room.

“Mari Tuan!” take Mr. Beni to Jack.

Jack looked up the stairs. He had not seen his wife following him. Without speaking, Mr. Beni can guess his master is waiting for his wife to come down.

“I wait in the car, Mister!” said Mr. Beni.

Jack did not answer. Let him Beni sir out first. Not long after, Ara rushed down the stairs.

“Sorry I was long,” he said, seeing Jack still in the room waiting for him.

Jack did not answer, he just stretched out his hand to grab Ara's hand, inviting her out of the house.

*************

Cars drive on crowded roads. A road that never runs for 24 hours. Day and night are always crowded and the four-wheeled vehicles.

From the window of Ara's car looking out into the sky, from a distance there is a towering building there is a large inscription on the roof with a magnificent, a name of a large company that is famous in the Capital.

“You know Jack, I've lived in the capital for a long time. It's the biggest building in town. I heard there is only one large company, not like in general in one building there are various companies. But the building besides its own is also dominated by large companies on top of it, there are several subsidiary offices there, too,” said Ara.

Jack just kept looking straight ahead.

“Because the office of the building was dominated by the owner of the building, so I never set foot on it just to atm or apply for a job to another company,” murmured Ara.

Jack folded his hands glancing at Ara who was still bending her head against the window.

“The news is working there the salary is very large. I never tried to apply there, because there are too many who intend to work there, the competition is very much,” said Ara.

Jack was silent. He looked towards Jack.

“From last night you kept quiet Jack, are you okay?” ask Ara.

“I'm fine,” said Jack.

“You need to calm down, Jack! You should get what you should have!” said Ara, making Jack turn his head and look at her.

“Don't look at me like Jack, let alone kiss me, I don't want to get out of my lipstick car,” said Ara, just like that, then she was silent.

Why does she feel ge’er that Jack is going to kiss her? Ah ah what's with his head? It was just Jack's kiss. Every Jack looked at her as if the man was going to kiss her.

Ara saw his car turn and stop at the security guard post, his car had entered the building area and directly to the parking lot in front of the gate entrance. A security guard removed the writing of a special parking area.

Beni first got off the car followed by Ara and Jack.

Several cars were seen passing in front of the entrance and passengers got off and entered the lobby door. They entered the door of the loby after passing the inspection with a detector by several officers.

Ara accidentally saw the ID Card used by the security guard. He was surprised when he saw it, there was listed the name of a company he talked about earlier to Jack.

She looked at Jack. Is Jack the owner of that big company?  Was he not wrong? He married

a man who owns this big building? And now he's in that big company building? He didn't notice when Jack's car turned.

“Money! Madam! Your bag!” said the female security guard, while giving her Ara's bag. So surprised Ara to not hear the sound of the security guard.

“Thank you,” he said, while receiving the bag.

He was suddenly nervous, misbehaved, and broke out in cold sweat. His footsteps followed Jack's feet and Beni went inside.

When entering the special elevator, Ara turned to Jack who was standing next to her. She was really nervous, it turned out that her husband was the owner of this big company, he actually married a rich man.

They were on the floor of the meeting room. Outside it looked like there were still some people crowding.  Mr. Beni invited Jack into a spacious room. It turned out that there were many who were present and sat around a large rectangular table. Ara could see they were important people.

Ara suddenly pulled Mr. Beni's hand out of the room, making Mr. Beni surprised.

“What's the Madam?” ask Mr. Beni when they're out of the room.

“True,” replied Mr. Beni nodded.

Arapun speechless, he was getting nervous and trembling, knowing who Jack really was. Absolutely never dreamed the owner of a big company in this capital is her husband.

“Pak Beni, something I want to say,” said Ara.

“What's the problem?” ask Mr. Beni.

“Mr Ferdi, he wants to humiliate Jack in front of all the shareholders, he wants to show Jack that he is crazy! How'this? What are we supposed to do? I don't want anything to happen to Jack,” said Ara.

“The lady is calm, the Madam brought her medicine sir right?” ask Mr. Beni, looking at his watch.

“There's half an hour left for you to take your medicine during the day. I will buy the meeting time so that Mr. can be calmer and the event runs smoothly,” said Mr. Beni.

“You are right, try to start the event after Jack takes the medicine,” Ara said with a worried look.

Mr. Beni looked at Ara and nodded, he was pleased to see the attitude of his Master's wife who was considerate of his Master.

“Let's go in,” take Mr. Beni.

Arapun nodded then they entered the room.

“Pak Beni!” as someone approached, everyone seemed to notice them, as Jack's arrival was striking.

From his posture alone has captured the attention of many people. His skin was whiter than most people and his body was tall, with a handsome face and nose and bluish eyes.

Mr. Beni looked stale with those present, speaking while standing introducing Jack and Ara to the people. Ara just followed him and smiled as Beni introduced him to the people who approached them while chatting.

Ara felt anxious, looking at Jack who did not say much, just as necessary. Glanced at the clock on the wall, Mr. Beni deliberately buy time for the event to begin so that Jack can take his medicine first.

Half an hour later…

“The fathers outside please come in, we are from now on, Mr. Jack Delmar is present,” heard the voice of someone calling the guests who are still outside the room. Ara recognized him as Mr. Faisal, one of the chief executives at Jack's company.

Jack sat near the elbow on the right side of the table, next to Mr. Beni and on the right side was Ara.

Ara looked back at the clock. It's time Jack took the medicine.

“Jack, time to take medicine,” Ara told Jack. He took the medicine out of his bag and gave it to Jack who looked at Ara's hand.

“Minum,” says Ara. Jack took it and took the medicine.

Ara looked at Jack with a smile.

“Do you feel better?” ask Ara.

“My head is a little dizzy,” replied Jack.

“You do not worry, after taking the medicine, you will be better,” said Ara while holding her hand Jack, encouraging.

People turned to the door when they heard footsteps entering the room.

So Ara followed by looking at the door, it turns out that Mr.Ferdi and Ny.Inez were also some people who were not known to Ara. Some people are slapping them.

Mr. Ferdi turned to the empty front seat, usually the one sitting on the top seat of the leader, but now that seat is for Jack, his heart just gets hotter.

When his eyes met with Ara, who was looking at him sharply, the man was sitting in the chair whose left side was facing Ara and Jack's seat.

There was the voice of Mr. Faisal standing to his right Mr. Ferdi.

“Good day, everyone,” said.

“Thanks for the presence of the Fathers all in this General Meeting of Shareholders which was held very suddenly,” said Mr. Faisal.

The feeling is immediately silent.

“We the company's management has received incoming letters from law firms in the capital and law firms from France, about the transfer of corporate property rights to its legal owners,” said Mr. Faisal.

The atmosphere felt so tense. Mr. Ferdi looked at Jack with a dislike look even though he was trying to relax.

“As we know that all this time the company was led by Mr. Ferdi. Now we have the owner of his company, the son of Mr Constantine Delmar, Mr Jack Delmar of France!” said Mr. Faisal, his hand pointed at Jack who was across from him.

There was boisterous applause in the audience, all eyes staring at Jack Delmar.

“To Mr Jack Delmar, please!” said Mr. Faisal, let Jack come forward.

Ara turned to Jack, held his hand and smiled encouragingly. Mr. Ferdi smiled sinisterly, while Mrs. Inez looked pale, afraid Jack would embarrass her.

Jack got up from his seat and walked forward to the seat of the leader's empty seat.
