"Why did you do that!???" Ask Mr. Haidee.
"Why Pa???? I just want to help Ethan not get caught in Gemma's trap.. She's a bad girl.. " Leona.
"You think it's good, but what if Ethan thinks it's not good???? What if he doesn't like your way, and is offended???? Not everyone can accept our good intentions... You followed and investigated her secretly??? The act was not allowed..!"
"But, this is a step I can take to get closer to Ethan.."
"What if Ethan gets angry and disappointed with you???"
"No way, I saved her from Gemma's trap why should she be angry??? Papa take it easy..!" Gemma muttered and went back to eating her dinner.
Leona has already told Kaia to send people to watch Gemma's daily activities carefully as well as to gather evidence that Gemma doesn't really like Ethan. And Leona is also waiting for the right time to tell Ethan about this.
★★★
A few days later..........
Leona sat in her work chair inside the office, she was busy checking the report that Kaia had given her. These few days he was busy checking and preparing his company's big project. Yesterday, he had just returned from out of town for a meeting. The busyness made Leona also distracted and had not had time to ask about the results of the Gemma investigation.
Leona actually wanted to know the development of the investigation but she was really busy so that she had not had time. And Lmhati Leona gets sicker as she continues to read the short messages Ethan sent to Gemma and vice versa. They're like a drunken romance makes Leona feel so fed up because she knows that Gemma is just playing Ethan. Leona wants to tell Ethan everything, but Kaia forbids him and asks Leona to be patient waiting for the right time. Moreover, Ethan is sedak in drunk love and his whole heart for Gemma, then if not think of a good way to uncover the rottenness of Gemma, which is precisely Ethan will not trust Leona. It could be dangerous because Ethan would hate Leona, and Leona could not keep him away from her. And he complied with Kaia to be careful.
The sound of knocking on the door distracts Leona. "...!!!" His words let the person who knocked at the door in.
Kaia came in with a stack of files. "You should also check this out, after lunch, we have another meeting.. " Say Kaia while thrusting the file.
Leno snorted in annoyance. "Oh yes Forgive me......!!!! Until when do I have to sit here with these files.. "
"We'll finish it soon, after that you can be a little free if our project is already started.. "
"How are there any news of our people watching Gemma??? I want to meet him, the night is okay, I'm curious about the results, for his execution we can think about when the time is right, maybe after this project.. "
"Okay, I'll call her, when do you want to meet????" Ask Kaia.
"Last night, I think after dinner... Just tell him to come to the apartment.. "
"All right, I'll call her... Now clear all the files, sign them and call me when you're done.. I'm out first.. " Kaia left Leona's room. While Leona bloated busied herself checking one by one the files.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Gemma sits on the couch in her flat. Today he is not working and took a day off. He was busy with his phone and smiling to himself. Leona put her phone on the table and seemed to be thinking about something. "I think it's his time to play, enough of his warm-up.." Gemma Mumbles. And he smiled triumphantly.
Gemma picked up her phone again and seemed busy typing something there. He smiled again, waiting for what would happen next.
★★★
On the way home, Ethan even asked Leona about the bag. And Leona answers him and tells Ethan the price of the bag. Leona also asks Ethan why Ethan asked about such a bag, and with a feeling of happiness and a little shame, Ethan says that he wants to buy Gemma a bag as a gift, tomorrow is Gemma's birthday. Ethan wants to give Gemma something as a special gift that she will always remember.
Hearing Ethan's words, Leona was quite surprised because Ethan would spend a lot of money to buy a bag from the brand. Leona felt that it seemed like Gemma had started her action. Leona clenched her hands and hit her bed in anger. Gemma really is a woman who does not know herself.
"I can't let this happen.. " Leona stood up and went into her dressing room to change clothes and leave.
***
Ethan opens the door to his apartment when he hears the intercom. Ethan is surprised to find Leona coming to his apartment. "Leona???? Are you here????" Ask her.
Leona throws her smile at Ethan. "Can I come in????" ask Leona.
"Come in!!! Why did you come???"
Leona walks into Ethan's apartment, and the man invites her to sit down. Leona sat down. "You're going??? Sorry I came suddenly and didn't tell you.. "
Ethan takes a drink for Leona and gives it to the woman. Ethan sits next to Leona, still confused as to why this woman came to his place. "You haven't answered my question, why are you here????" Ask Ethan again.
"I want to tell you something.. "
"What..????" Ask Ethan.
"You were talking about bags, you wanted to give a gift to Gemma, right???"
"Yes.. Why why??? You want to give me a bag??! No-no... I don't accept gifts, I want to buy Gemma.. "
Leona laughing. "Not Ethan...!!! I want to tell you, that I have a friend that he sells branded bags, preloved but of course the condition is still very good, and the price is more affordable than in his store...."
"Preloved???? Ah no no.... What if the quality is bad, when I give a gift with preloved goods??? What do people say later??? I can still buy new ones.. "
"The name is preloved, but not all the goods are of poor quality, let alone these branded goods, but not all, people who have it will keep it because the goods if sold again the price is not much different from the new one, I collect it also because it can be made an investment, and the price is not much different from the new one, it can be sold again, let alone limited production, so even though it is preloved, the quality is very good... You can save a few million or even tens of millions if you give preloved rather than new, depending on the bag you want to buy... My friend is very famous among socialites like me, because he provides goods at a fairly sloping price, and guaranteed no kw kw... If you want I can drive you tomorrow.. How's it???" Ask Leona.
Ethan was silent, seemingly thinking while looking at Leona. Meanwhile, Leona held back her smile. He hopes Ethan agrees with his idea. Because Leona was planning something with it. Leona won't let Ethan spend his money just for a woman who doesn't know himself. Leona couldn't let it go. And he really hopes Ethan agrees with his idea. Kaia had given a good idea for him to influence Ethan not to come to stores that sell well-known brands and suggest buying to others that are preloved goods.
Leona looked at her watch. "Ah I have to go, I have a meeting with a client, you call me if you agree or not... " Said Leona and she got off the couch to leave. He had to return to the apartment because he had to meet the person he had been trying to keep an eye on Gemma these few days. Leona needs information from that guy about Gemma.
"Wait..!!? " Shouted Ethan. Leona turned around and looked at Ethan. "I want you to take me to your friend's place.. " Murm Ethan.
Leona smiled, and joy in her heart. Eventually his plan works, Ethan agrees. "okay.... Tomorrow I'll drive you, and you can choose which bag you want to buy for Gemma, then I'll go home first.. "
