My Culun CEO
#189 - The Past is Back

A beautiful girl got off the plane that brought her back to her homeland. It was Carissa Ford. The only daughter of Damian Ford and Freya Moremans.

After studying abroad for several years, Carissa still chose to live there and learn business from a branch company owned by her father. Actually, Carissa is heavy because she had to leave the man she loved so much since she was a teenager. But he also realized that he must have the ability to be able to continue his father's business later.

Carissa smiled at the mother who picked up her mother at the airport.

"Mama? I didn't think Mama would pick me up by myself." Carissa hugged the woman who had given birth to her into the world.

"Of course, you have to do it yourself. You miss you so much, son." Freya returned the embrace of her only puppet princess.

"Oh yes, this return of yours coincides with the 100th anniversary of Avicenna Group. Did you let go on purpose, hmm?" freya asked when they were already in the luxury car that would take her back home.

"Huh?! How did Mama know?" Carissa looked sparkling and blushed simultaneously.

"Of course Mama knows. Mama knows you more than anyone."

"Yes, Ma. I want to give support to Bang Giga. He's the next Avicenna Group heir, right, Ma?"

Freya looked to roll her eyes. "Eitherway. The performance was very poor when compared to Karel. According to Mama, Karel is better suited to lead the next Avicenna Group."

Carissa looked at Freya in disbelief. How could his mother talk lightly about Giga in front of him?

Meanwhile, preparations for the 100th anniversary are almost complete. Giga, who was given the job by Nathan to give a speech, is now training hard to make a good speech in front of all his clients and business associates.

Giga seemed to doubt that he could do this. He had never even spoken in public all this time.

"Come, Master. You can definitely! Keep practicing!"

Merlin was endlessly encouraging Giga for the man to regain his confidence. Merlin's determination now is to make Giga forget his past trauma.

Arriving on the long-awaited day, finally the celebration of Avicenna Group's 100th anniversary celebration took place quite lively. Many important guests invited Nathan intentionally because today he will officially announce who the new CEO will replace him.

Giga came along with Merlin in a black suit and bow tie, making the aura of good looks within him come out. Giga greeted the guests and met his father and aunt in conversation.

"Tante Mira, Karel," said Giga who was greeted by a strange smile from Mira.

Nathan patted Giga on the shoulder and felt very proud of his son.

"You ready, son?" ask Nathan.

"Already, Father," replied Giga steadily.

Event after event finally went well. Now it was time for Giga as the new CEO to deliver a two-word face in front of all the guests present.

Giga walked firmly towards the front podium. His eyes looked at everyone present. From under the podium, Merlin gave spirit to Giga.

Giga smiled before starting her speech.

"Good day everyone. Thank you for your attendance at the 100th anniversary of Avicenna Group's anniversary. As a company that has many branches in..."

Giga's speech stopped. Everyone started whispering about what was really going on with the new CEO. Merlin asked Giga to continue his speech. But Giga instead looked towards a figure that he had not seen for a long time.

There was a look of anger and disappointment on Giga's face. The woman who had left him a few years ago suddenly appeared and made her concentration chaotic. Around him feels spinning. Giga could not continue his speech.

"Ma-sorry... The next speech will be continued by my assistant."

Giga walked out of the podium and handed the sheet of paper containing his speech to Merlin.

Merlin stared at the guests who were confused and disappointed with the new CEO of Avicenna Group. Mira and Karel even smiled satisfied because it turns out they did not need to launch any action to bring down Giga. It was precisely Giga himself who destroyed his image in front of the clients.

"But! Bang Giga's! Wait, Bang!" Carissa chased after Giga who was now outside the building.

"But! Waitaminute! Why are you avoiding?" Carissa put a face in front of Giga.

Carissan held onto Giga's arm which he could finally reach. Giga gently brushed off Carissa's hand. Giga grabs her phone and calls Heri, the driver.

"Hello, where are you? Quickly pick me up in front of the lobby!"

"Bang!" Carissa called Giga with her soft voice.

"What else is it? I don't think there's anything more we can talk about!" giga.

"Abang! Why are you acting like this to me?" Carissa looked teary. "alright. I was wrong for leaving my brother. But now I'm back, Bang. Can we have a good talk and..."

"Sorry, Carissa. I think my words back then were clear enough. We have broken up and there is no relationship between us. So, don't show up in front of me anymore!"

Giga got into the car as soon as Heri stopped the car right in front of Giga.

"Abang! Please listen to me first, Bang! Brother!" Carissa kept pleading but Giga did not budge. Giga tells Heri to drive forward and leave Carissa looking desperate and sad.

While inside the building, Nathan is furious with Merlin and Harvey. Somehow he even vented his frustration to his son's assistant and assistant.

Merlin could only bow his head and apologize profusely about today's incident. Nathan massaged his temple slowly. He no longer knew how to deal with his son.

Merlin came out of Nathan's room and walked over. He felt really guilty towards Giga and Nathan. He thought he was the cause of all the trauma Giga had experienced.

"Yes God! How else do I have to be?" Merlin muttered to himself as he continued walking out of the building. At the same time, Karel also came out of his room.

"Did Nathan scold you?" ask Karel who can guess from the look of Merlin's face.

Merlin only nodded weakly.

"Don't be sad! Nathan is so. But he's actually good. And about Giga..."

Merlin felt even more guilty when he remembered about his boss.

"Three will be fine. Don't you worry! Be excited! I will always support you!" Karel patted Merlin on the shoulder and made the girl smile sweetly. While she was sad, Karel was always there to comfort her.

"Thank you, Mister. You are indeed a kind-hearted angel who seems to be sent by God to me," Merlin inwardly stared at the handsome face of Karel.

"Carel! What the hell are you doing?" Suddenly Mira comes to Karel and Merlin.

Merlin bowed respectfully in front of Mira.

"Listen, Son. Have you heard?"

"What news, Ma?" karel asked walking away from Merlin.

"Carissa is back, son. You should see him soon!" Mira was so happy and excited when she told me about Carissa's return.

"really? All right, I'll see him soon." Karel was no less happy and excited. His feelings for Carissa have not changed. Maybe now is his chance to get Carissa's heart.
