Mona*Lisa
BREAKUP

That afternoon after his meeting with Simon, Bram headed straight to a place Dean had told him by phone to meet Armand, fortunately Dean called before Bram slid into Armand's company.

A cafe with a modern feel was deliberately chosen Dean, he knew that they were old friends so he thought the relaxed atmosphere was suitable for their meeting place.

"You've been waiting a long time?" Armand approached Bram who was sitting at the table that Dean had booked and then placed himself in the opposite seat.

"I just got here, how are you guys, why is it so hard to call you this late?" Bram asked while sharing his sweetest smile, trying to hide his feelings of regret to his old friend.

"I'm busy chasing the deadline, so sorry I haven't had time to reply to your message" Armand said lightly without caring about the pura smile that appeared on Bram's face.

"It's okay, after all, now that we've met, and since your schedule is tight so let me get to the point"

"Okay, whatever you do"

Bram also began to explain about his new project to Armand, they had a long discussion about several things, because Armand still felt there were some irregularities in the project.

"How about, do you want to invest in my new project? it's a big project, I guarantee you'll make a lot of profit"

"Yes this is quite tempting, but why invest here most of the individuals instead of large corporate companies who usually invest?"

Armand began to express his suspicions, especially the names listed there are not foreign, most of them are the names of the top officials of the country.

"I just accept who wants to invest, who wants to, who I might refuse, I'm lucky that those officials will support my new project"

Bram said he hoped Armand did not suspect that his new project was just a cover, that the project was created to launder dirty money from officials in the name of investment, he said, and the real funds are from the investments that Athena Corp will provide, if Armand agrees of course.

"Oh yeah, you're lucky to be able to get investment from important people like them, if like this you should not need financial assistance from my company, right?"

You think I'm Bram's stupid, now that everything's clear, I know now where your new project is headed

"HAHAHAHA" Bram's laughter filled the cafe, making everyone there turn their attention towards it.

"Come on Ar, why do you think I need investment from your company? we've been friends for a long time, I just want our company to be as good as we are"

"You can't have a working relationship just because we're friends, in my company there are a lot of employees who depend on their lives from working there, and as a boss, if I make the wrong decision, if I make the wrong decision, their lives will also be at stake"

Bram was silent to the long explanation from Armand, he could no longer pretend to be patient anymore, the look on his face had clearly shown his annoyance, because basically Bram is not the type of person who can be friendly even though at his coworkers.

"Ar, while I'm being kind you better agree to the investment proposal on my project, because I still want to make you my friend, not my enemy" Bram's usual threat tone said, now spoken to his own friends, and will be a sign of the end of their friendship so far.

Armand uttered his ultimatum in a subtle but firm tone, then he drank the ice coffee latte that had been hanging from their table in one gulp before he left the place.

"I think our conversation is over, I'm leaving first, you know that I'm very busy right now, right, in the future just call my assistant if there's still something you want to talk about" Armand soon passes leaving Bram, he does not want to hear any nonsense from Bram's mouth again.

"DICKHEAD!! who do you think you are, look at it later, you're the one who's coming to see me and begging me" Bram cursed himself while pounding his desk making a waiter who walked past him startled and dropped a tray filled with tomato juice on him.

"DORC!! YOU HAVE NO EYES, HUH??" A wrathful Bram got up from his seat with a red face due to tomato juice.

The man's servant just bowed in fear, afraid that he would be fired by his real boss.

"Ma ma forgive me sir, I really did not accidentally" said the waiter stammered

"Indeed you think it's enough to just apologize huh, you don't know who I look like, where to call your boss, let you get fired" Bram pointed at the servant's forehead with his index finger,and instantly they became the center of the spectacle there.

The manager of the caffee who saw the incident immediately approached them, and tried to save his employees.

"I'm sorry for the carelessness of my employees sir, let me compensate for all your losses, I apologize as much as possible for the unpleasant events that happened to you"

The already ugly Mood Bram got worse that time, but his anger was stifled when he saw a beautiful girl who looked like the one in the sketch that Simon brought into the cafee door and looked wry as if he was looking for someone.

"Mona" Bram said softly

"Why sir?" Said the manager who thought he was being spoken to by Bram.

"It's not you, it's gone" Bram pushed the employee's and manager's shoulders together, splitting them in half to make way for him.

But when Bram looked back at the door, she was gone, and she wasn't even visible in all the caffees.

"Damn" Bram ran towards the exit hoping that the woman had not gone far, but unfortunately a thousand dear, the sighting of Mona that he had seen once was no longer seen.

Bram turned to the left and to the right up and down but still did not meet, the mysterious woman was like lost in the wind, the worse the mood of Bram on that day.

"AARRGGHHH, ASSHOLE, DAMN IT!!!"

Bram shouted in the street while hitting the power pole on the street, he himself forgot not to wash the juice spilled on his face and clothes, he said,the passers-by were terrified thinking the red stain was blood.

"AMBULANNCEE, call an ambulance, there's a crazy person who wants to kill himself" shouted one of the pedestrians passing by.
