My Mom Wants to Mate
42. Ex-Lover

Karen called Haris back by phone.

📞"Hello Ris, I had a discussion with my assistant. We'll see you at lunch. Okay?"

📞"I have a better idea. What if you pick me up at the airport. Then we talk about it over lunch."

📞"Oh, um, okay, we'll pick you up."

📞"No, you're alone!"

📞"Why?"

📞"Flight from Spore to there it's 2 hours. After the trip I will be exhausted. I don't want my mess to be seen by others."

📞"I'm someone else too. Not ashamed of me?"

📞"You're married to my brother, so you're not someone else dong."

📞"Yes yes, okay. I'm picking it up."

The words of Haris who said that they were brothers managed to tear down Karen's hypothesis about Haris's motive for wanting to join his company.

He told Inda about his meeting plan with Haris this afternoon.

"Boss Black Widow, who the hell is the boss already know?"

"Ruler."

"What does that mean, boss?"

"He's Daniel's brother."

"Well, I didn't say that from earlier. Know that directly recruit just don't bother opening any vacancies."

"Hush, yes keep it open. Let's look at quality. Um, I'll be alone later, you're in the office handle job."

***

Karen was waiting for Haris at the airport like she was waiting for a lover. He himself does not believe he will return to direct contact with former lovers whom he has long forgotten.

The picture is still on an album at Karen's parents' house. But it was just a store of memories Karen who had once performed. It just so happens that Haris also achieves so that they require to take pictures close together.

Now, Karen's mind drifted there. If Haris works with him, will the old story repeat itself?

If it must be repeated, Karen regretted some months where Haris was never present in his life. If only she had come back to Karen's life sooner, she wouldn't have had to marry Daniel.

I'm too PD. Even if he came first, did he want to get married immediately? Not necessarily either, right? (Karen).

Soon, the awaited came. Haris with sunglasses perched on the nose without slumping managed to bewitch the women who saw it. Also, the clothes he wears are white shirts, black jeans, black leather shoes and black suits make his appearance look elegant.

"Hi, Ris .. tired?"

"Banget, pegel."

"Want to eat the same rest where?"

"What is clear is that the chair is a sofa, so you can rest your back. Um, donut restaurant what's his name, well Duncan Lucknut, can it."

"okay."

They got into Karen's car.

"You're telling your husband that we're meeting today?"

"Oh yes. I forgot I didn't tell him yet. But I'll tell Daniel."

"Oh ...." Haris pulls out her phone and takes a selfie of the two of them in Karen's car.

"Eh, why all the photos? Don't post it on social media."

"Hahah, this is a private collection, not to be published," Haris said as he sent the photo to Daniel. He deliberately did not caption anything on the image and freed the recipient to think as he pleased.

Daniel looked at the photo.

Karen didn't tell me that she went with Haris? (Daniel).

Not long after Karen sent Chatsapp a message.

📱Daniel: Okay.

In Duncan Lucknut, Karen and Haris order food.

"We started Ris, I was wondering why you wanted to work at my place. Other than work, do you have any other motives?" ask Karen frontally.

Yeah, I was wondering about your marriage to Daniel. Consider me a fisherman's kayak, once a paddle, 2-3 islands exceeded. (Laris).

Haris smiled meaningfully. "My reason is purely because of my work."

"Keep, why in my small company? Where did you work before? And you're out of the country too. I don't think you need very cooperation in my place."

"Before I was a forex trader ...."

"Well, you're a trader that's definitely a lot of money, less what?" Karen cut the conversation.

"Denger was my explanation. I was once a great trader. Many of my clients are profiting massively. Me too, a lot of income. But it has also been loss. Most of them don't know what an investment is. They thought the money they invested was a loan so I had to go back. In fact, the investment can be profitable and can lose. It's a risk."

"So you're being chased for money?"

"No, I'm back. But enough there, enough to know that the mainin money of people whose value is more than 100 million makes the burden of the mind."

Karen nodded. "You lose money dong return people up to hundreds of millions?"

Haris shakes. "That loss can be counted on the fingers. So, not so feel. But in the world of foreign exchange trading like that, the heart feels like it wants to run there to here. Every minute think of fluctuations that change every time, think of loss or profit. Not calm."

"So you started a new career as a photographer?"

"Not really. Photographing is one of the forgotten hobbies. So, being your photographer is what I consider to be a picnic of life or well .. escaping from reality."

"That means you're just gonna help me for a second?"

"As for the time, we'll see. And do you want to use a contract system with deadlines or what?"

Karen took a long breath.

So I again hire a person who even from the beginning was planning to come out? (Karen).

"I'm so confused. Honestly, I want you to cooperate, because the other candidates are not as good as you. But from the beginning you like to go straight out, how can I calm down later."

"Just be calm, I'm easy to make at home. Especially this is my hobby at once. Work according to hobbies is heaven."

Karen nodded and thought.

"Ehm, okay, special to you, I'm free without a contract. But please, 1 month. And if you want to decide to go out, tell me all the way."

"Wow, it turns out that as a boss and ex-boyfriend, you're really good Ren," Haris said. Then he stretched out to shake hands. "Deal?"

"Deal." Karen shook that hand.

Haris moved to sit next to Karen and took another selfie. This time they sat close.

"What, Ris? You are a hobby of selfies!"

"It's a sign of our agreement, let's have a good pose. Cheer."

They both smiled happily in the photo.

Again Haris sent the photo to Daniel without Karen's knowledge and without any caption.

"Oh yes, later if our cooperation is completed, you continue trading?"

"No. I have some land assets, a shophouse and a cart. After your company, I want to open a college business. But the time will depend on how good I am as your photographer."

"Great."

"That too later I will need your help for my new business content creation. So we're both lucky, right?"

Karen smiled and nodded happily. "Rubber. You are well prepared."

"And I have a feeling that I'm going to be at home here" Haris said.
