Mathelina
[Season 2] CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

I hate it, but why do I feel broken like this?

Anna leaned over to take the ring that was at her feet, then gave it to Logan who had been in front of her.

"Thank you" said Logan coldly.

Anna was disappointed to hear his half-hearted remark. Plus, he was getting moody when Logan pinned the ring on Nina's ring finger. Her tears did not flow, her smile was not even visible. He clapped his hands with a wounded heart.

"They're compatible, huh?" kenan whispered, without seeing that Anna wasn't smiling.

Logan and Nina faced the guests, showing happy smiles over their official relationship. I don't know why Logan's view points to Anna. Maybe because Kenan and Anna were in the front row.

However, the gaze was long enough, until Logan concluded that Anna's moody expression was her dislike if she was happy.

Then, several guests and colleagues came forward to congratulate him. Kenan did not want to miss, he stepped on the stage with Anna.

Kenan held out his hand to Logan, then hugged him while patting him on the back. "Congratulations, yes, mate," he said.

"Thank you," Logan replied with a smile.

After that, Kenan shook Nina's hand. "Congratulations, yes, Nina. Finally, you're engaged too."

"Thank you," Nina replied cheerfully, then glanced at Anna and teased Kenan. "New boyfriend, huh?"

Kenan laughed crisply. "Doain. Ahem! I mean, just a friend."

Anna seemed to have a signal that it was time to introduce herself to Nina.

"Congratulations, yes," he smiled.

Initially, Nina welcomed Anna's sincere congratulations. However, his face turned cold when recalling Anna's late-goal face.

Nina felt familiar. The girl, who was with her boyfriend at Logan's office. He was still curious about their conversation at that time. Until now, he has not had time to discuss it again with Logan.

Then, his eyes were shifted to Logan. Stupefied, Logan was looking at Anna coldly. His feelings are doubtful. Is it true, Logan's conversation with Anna at that time was just a matter of work?

Tama was walking in the parking lot area while whistling—hatinya seemed to be happy and excited.

Luxurious parked cars spoil the eyes. I feel like I want to have it. But for now, he only looked at it and touched it.

"Uhhhh! When, yeah, can I have a car like this?" mumbled chestnut. "Waaaah!"

A black car parked in a special place fascinated him. His feet immediately stepped there, approaching the car but not touching it.

"That has to be a very rich man" he commented with sparkling eyes. "This is the latest car. Selfi was ah!"

Tama pulled out her phone, taking a nice pose for her photo to take. I don't know how many times he posed and photographed. And just stopped when the phone came in from his father.

"Hello, Pak—"

"Where are you?" sahut Pak Manto yelled, until Tama kept his phone away from his ear.

"Ouch, Father. For a long time my ears are crooked because the Father often screams," complained Tama. "I'm in the parking lot again."

"You've got the flasdisk, haven't you?"

"Quiet, Sir. I've brought it," said Tama confidently.

"Good! Now, you go to the place we planned. You will do the next plan" closed Mr. Manto.

After turning off the phone, Tama faced the luxury car earlier. He sighed, looking a little grim. "For now, we're separated. But someday, I'll have you. So..," Tama put her right hand on the hood of the car. "Patience, Beauty."

As if parting with a lover, Tama turned several times to the car, leaving the parking area.

🍀

Not only colleagues, Logan invited several business people, including Anton Wiratama. Together with his beautiful secretary, the man in a thick body approached Logan who was taking a glass of drink.

"Hello, Mr. Logan. Congratulations on your engagement" said Anton.

"Thank you." Logan smiled pleasantries.

"I haven't seen you in a long time. Last time, we met at the wedding of Farhat and Yerina" Anton said.

"Yes, I remember."

"That night, where were you going? I'm looking for you. There's something I want to talk to you about, you know."

Then Anton's secretary chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Logan. Mr. Anton moved your room next to Mr. Anton's, so Mr. Anton could get in touch with you more closely."

Logan frowned and began to understand. So, her room was moved, and Anna did sleep in that room? However, his mind is again branched out by another possibility, who is still convinced that Anna knows about the room's move and deliberately traps him.

"Oh, huh?" sahut Logan, reply. "What do you want to talk about?"

At that time, Mr. Manto was disguised as a thick mustachioed servant. He stood in the distance watching Logan, then began to walk towards him.

With a quick movement, the man stuffed a paper into Logan's suit pocket without realizing it.

After a long period of pleasantries, Logan begs Anton to go elsewhere. Maybe he wanted to take his phone, he reached into his pocket.

He frowned to find the paper folded in half. That thing wasn't in his pocket.

Did the man who threatened her put this paper down?

Logan looked for a place to get away from the crowd, then opened the paper. He also read the writing in it:

"If you want to delete that video, meet me on the 9th floor emergency staircase."

His eyes radiated anger while squeezing the paper. His long steps walked to where the blackmailer had told him.

But strangely, once he got there, there was no one? Are they trying to trick him again?

No. gabe. Tama appeared from the bottom floor. He laughed, climbing up the stairs one by one. After that, Mr. Manto came from the top floor, smiling cynically as he went down the stairs.

The two men approached Logan, as if to corner him. However, instead of panicking, Logan confronts them with a defiant attitude.

"Only you two? Aren't you guys conspiring with a woman?" ask Logan, cold.

"A woman?" asked Mr. Manto, frowning in wonder. "Oh, that woman you raped?"

"Oh, no," Tama said, adding. "Indeed, we had hired a woman, but we didn't expect any invited guests to go into room 101."

Logan glared with a paled face. All the rebuttals that were said to Anna were replayed in the mind. And now, he had to admit that Anna was telling the truth. He raped the innocent woman.

He sighed, sorry.

"OKAY. So, what do you want?" ask Logan, after controlling yourself.

"We want you not to sell sugar mills in Purwakarta" replied Mr. Manto.

"And you have to revive that factory." Tama added.

Isn't it clear that the factory can't operate anymore? Really am!

Logan snorted while ruffling his waist. "okay! I fulfill your requests. Now," he turned his right hand to the man, "give me a copy of the video."

Mr. Manto glanced at Tama, gesturing to give the flash in his hand. Tama reached into his pants pocket, but he was stunned to find his right pants pocket empty.

"I think it was kept here earlier," muttered Tama, then reached into the pocket of his left trouser and shirt pocket.

Something went wrong, Manto whispered to Tama, "Where's the flash?"

Tama was stunned, her face paled. Then, he approached his lips to Mr. Manto's ears, whispering, "It looks like his flasdisk is gone, sir."

"Where the hell are you!" Mr. Manto patted Tama's shoulder a little tight.

Logan saw the strange behavior of the two men. Logan grunting. Enough of them to play!

"Where's the copy?" billiards Logan, impatient.

The two men glanced at each other, confused as to what to do. Finally, Mr. Manto decided:

"Look, we'll give you the flash tomorrow at your office" he said.

The negotiations were easy, and unexpectedly Logan nodded in agreement. "alright. I'm waiting for you guys."

The two men smiled. Without saying goodbye, they left from the face of Logan who was staring flatly.

They disappeared from behind the door leading to the 5th floor. Logan pulled out a cell phone, then called someone.

"Catch 'em!"

.

"Basic stupid! Why did it disappear anyway?" maki Pak Manto, walking in the parking lot area.

Tama's shoulder was affected by his boredom. "Sorry, Sir. I also know why the flash is gone" he replied, rubbing his shoulder with a punch.

"Ah, stop! We still have another copy. Tomorrow, we'll give you a copy of it, and squeeze him." Then, Mr. Manto chuckled.

"But, Sir. How could Mr. Logan so easily agree to our request, huh?" tama Suspicious. "Is it possible, he's got another stratagem?"

Mr. Manto will follow his words. However, suddenly two large-bodied men ambushed his hands and Tama from behind.

"What the fuck?" jerit Pak Manto's.

"You're under arrest for fraud and extortion!" said a man, who was likely the second superior to the man who arrested Mr. Manto and Tama.

"Who are you?" tanya Tama while struggling.

"We're cops."

The cops? Damnit damnit! Logan framed Pak Manto and Tama. The three policemen deliberately disguised themselves as invited guests on Logan's orders.[]
