My Culun CEO
#192 - The Heirs' Recep Scandal

After the idea was approved by shareholders and investors, Giga was very excited to make plans going forward about his project in Duvet Village. With Merlin's help, Giga daily gathers information about the remote village.

Merlin helped Giga a lot in this project. Today Merlin again did the same thing to help Giga.

"Conference video again?" nathan asked who was caught off guard by his son's attitude. He wanted Giga to really do a presentation in front of everyone to make it more convincing.

But what would be said, Giga will not want and be able to talk while staring at dozens of pairs of eyes that highlight him. Merlin again turned on the projector screen that displayed Giga's figure there.

"Good morning everyone. Sorry if I have to do another video conference. But, don't worry, this presentation will definitely satisfy you all," said Giga with confidence.

Giga explained very smoothly about the project that he would do later in the village of Blanket. Merlin smiled happily because he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

The relationship between Giga and Merlin is getting closer because of this Blanket Village project. Every day they collect information about the village that still upholds the custom.

"You must be wondering why I .. can't do a presentation in front of so many people."

"Eh?"

I don't know why the phrase Giga seemed to hit Merlin's heart. Merlin knew very well what caused Giga to be traumatized.

"Come with me!"

Giga pulled Merlin's hand and took her somewhere.

"Library?" Merlin scrunched his forehead.

"really. We'll find out about the problems that have befallen me." Giga looks for books about his condition.

Not that Giga was unaware of the trauma within him, but Giga chose to cover it up from anyone including his father and mother. So far Nathan has been trying the best treatment for Giga.

You could say Giga himself insisted that he was healed. But it's all just an alibi to cover up the real conditions.

Now Giga wants to be honest with Merlin because the girl has helped him a lot in his work.

"Pantic disorder?" merlin murmured when Giga proffered several books related to his psychiatric condition.

"really. I felt panicked and immediately nervous when I faced many people. Past events have brought me down quite a bit."

Merlin swallowed his saliva. He knew what happened to Giga. Merlin felt guilty for what happened to Giga.

"But that doesn't mean I can't heal. I'm sure I can heal."

Merlin, who had been looking down, looked up at Giga.

"Please help me to heal!" pinta Giga with developing her smile.

"Eh? I-i'm? The master asked me to..."

"Yes! You are! I chose you, Merlinda!"

For a moment their eyes locked on each other. Heartbeats that are not heard by each other, feel are racing against this silence.

"I don't know what's really going on with me, but .. I think maybe I like you."

Merlin rounded his eyes at Giga's statement. After that they threw each other face away. Giga himself misbehaved because Merlin was just silent.

"All right, we're back at the office!" giga said then passed.

Merlin simply rubbed his chest that felt a strange ticking.

"What's wrong with her? Did he eat wrong?" muttered Merlin then followed Giga's footsteps.

Mira still doesn't take it with Giga's hand. Now all the investors really supported Giga's idea and canceled Karel's project.

Mira is angry with her son who is considered not to be a troublemaker to defeat Giga.

"It's not like you said you should improve your presentation in front of shareholders and investors. Do you know how long you have been waiting for this?! You destroyed everything in an instant!" Mira held her head.

"I'm sorry, Ma..." Karel just looked down and apologized.

"I'm sorry you don't mean anything anymore! Mama no longer knows how to remove Giga from office. You should have known that! You deserve all of that! Not that geeky!"

Mira passed from Karel's room with her upset face. While the handsome young man could only smile wryly and sigh.

"Did all the things I've done for you all along mean nothing to you? How terrible is my fate!" karel muttered his bad luck.

Karel had been in the office all day without going anywhere. It turned out that his working hours were up, but Karel chose to be in the office.

Karel stretched his muscles for a moment and then walked out of his room. The office is empty. All the staff must have gone home.

As she was about to leave, Karel noticed that the lights of Giga's room were still on. Karel approached his cousin's room.

It turned out that the owner of the room was not there and only his assistant was there.

Karel knocked on the door and made Merlin a little surprised.

"You work late?" ask Karel.

"Ah yes, Sir. Sir, why haven't you come home yet?"

"I'm being shaved. Can you ... accompany me?"

Merlin smiled. Of course he agreed. From the beginning Karel was kind to her. And Merlin wanted to thank the man.

Merlin took Karel to some favorite places he came to when he was dying.

"I can't be in a nightclub, people will gossip about me."

Merlin again made another choice.

"I can't come to karaoke either."

Merlin's not out of ideas. He gave some other alternatives to Karel.

Merlin pulls Karel's hand and takes her to an accessories store. Merlin wore glasses that were unique to Karel.

"Is it good?" ask Karel.

Merlin brandished his two thumbs.

"Alright, come! Then I won't be so recognizable."

Merlin rolled his eyes lazily. "It seems I've heard all these words before. Who does it look like?!" merlin muttered.

Eventually Karel agreed to watch an indie band's mini-concert downtown. They pranced happily at the stomping rhythm of music.

Karel could laugh and forget for a moment his problem with his mother. Merlin was indeed good at overcoming the moods of others.

After being satisfied to watch the concert, they continued the journey to the coffee shop owned by Resti. The night was getting late and they were chatting.

"Oh so this, Karel the angel?" god Resti to Merlin.

"Hush! What the hell? Don't listen to him, sir. He likes to dig!" Merlin glared at Resti.

"Please enjoy, Mr. Angel." Resti smiled sweetly at Karel.

Karel smiled sweetly in response to Resti's attitude. Until finally Karel say goodbye because the time has exceeded one in the morning.

Mira who had been waiting for her son to come home was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Karel enter the house.

"Dear Karel, you're finally home too, son. Mama's very worried about you. Where'd you get home so late at night?"

"It's not mama's business! Didn't you ever care about my life? I only care about the company and the money. Don't you?"

"Carel! Forgive me, Son. I know you were too emotional for me, Mama..."

"Easy! I'm tired! I'm gonna take a break!" Karel passed from before Mira.

Mira looked at her son. "How's this? He must be mad at me. I shouldn't have been so hard on him."

The next day, the,

Karel awakens from her sleep and remembers how last night she spent time with Merlin. He pulled the corner of his lips. He felt that Merlin was very different from the girls who tried to approach him.

Even very different from Carissa which is top class. Merlin could make her comfortable and could make her laugh loosely without any burden.

"She's a unique girl" muttered Karel then got out of bed and cleaned himself in the bathroom.

Arriving at the office, Karel again met with Merlin. The girl looked down respectfully as she passed Karel.

"Your friend ... What's his name?" karel asked as they were in the same elevator.

"Ah, Resti. What's wrong with him, sir?"

"She said you called me an angel? Is that true?"

"Ah that..." Merlin scratched his nape. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just..."

"It's okay. L like it. But it would be nice if you just think of me as a human being. I'm not an angel, Merlinda. I'm not a good person either."

"Eh?!"

Karel immediately passed because the elevator door had opened. Merlin simply shook his head slowly with Karel's attitude.

Arriving at his desk, several workers were whispering while staring at Merlin. Merlin just chipped and sat in his chair. He does not care about other employees who are gossiping.

During the break, Merlin was approached by Friska and two other staff.

"Is it true that you have a special relationship with Mr. Giga?" ask Friska ketus.

"Heh?! Me?! Nah! There ain't! Me and Mr. Giga have no relationship whatsoever. We're just bosses and assistants!" Merlin waved both of his hands.

"But everyone is gossiping about you. You're too close to her."

"Geez! Am I not his assistant? Of course I always follow wherever he goes. After all this is because Mr. Giga is having a new project. We will be very busy, hehehe. Besides, I don't see Mr. Giga as a man. He was too weak for a man's size. There are many things he cannot do. Is that really what I said?"

The three female staff who liked to be in love with the lives of others finally left Merlin. Unwittingly by the girl if from earlier Giga eavesdropped on their conversation. Giga only smiled faintly at Merlin's reply.

When Merlin entered Giga's room and brought the files he had made for the project, Giga looked at him sharply.

"Sir, this is a file on the village project Blanket." Merlin handed over the file on Giga's desk.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Giga squinted his eyes at Merlin.

"Do you really not think of me as a man?"

"Eh?!" Merlin rounded his eyes as Giga got out of his chair and walked up to him.

"Are you sure of what you said?!"

Merlin stepped back as Giga continued to step forward.

"Master!" Merlin felt cornered because now Giga had squeezed him into the wall.

"Are you sure I'm not a man? Then what do you feel when we're in this very close distance?"

Giga's question made Merlin even more glaring. He could not believe that what he said would be known to Giga.

"Resert, Sir! Before I commit an act of violence against Master!" merlin said solemnly.
