NOT ME
CLARA'S BIRTHDAY


Thomas threw the cigarette smoke out of his mouth. His hands were busy crashing the rest of the cigarettes on the ashtray.


“I know, this murder was committed to threaten our existence.”


France who sat in front of Thomas thought. “In my opinion, Diego doesn't want to involve us in that big business.”


“Of course. If we join their business, Diego will be easy to get rid of!” Thomas chuckles.


“I like the way it plays. Diego is indeed worth acknowledging!” praise Thomas.


“Tuan ... You acknowledge the greatness of Diego?”


“Ya .. therefore, we need a balanced opponent.” Thomas smiled cunningly.


“Do you think En is the right opponent?”


“No. En's job is to keep Clara.”


“Then?” France frowned.


“This time, we play smooth. Let our spies look for Diego.”'s weakness


“Good sir. So, do we need to find an opponent for Diego from abroad?”


“No. Let our spies kill him. I'm sure Diego will be hit with this betrayal.”


France rubbed her chin while thinking. He's sure, Diego wasn't that easy to get rid of.


“I was afraid before the plan happened, he already knew who our man was.”


“Do not worry. That man was one of his confidants. Diego will not suspect at all.” Thomas smiled cunningly.


“Good.”


“Jaga Clamu well!”


“Sure Mr.”


“What about Lucia's release plan?”


France was silent for a moment. “Tuan .. I actually don't really care about that kid. All I do for my wife,”


“You mean?”


“Again the boy grew up in another family. I feel like I have no ties. Thinking about his safety only adds to the load!”


Thomas squinted his eyes. Not believing in the thoughts of France. “But she's your daughter!”


“Ya .. but I don't expect him back. Let Diego treat the boy as he pleases. Let's just say he's a decoy,”


“You are indeed a good business partner. But, you're a bad father. It's okay, our father used to be cruel to their son.” Thomas chuckled again.


France left the room. It's lunchtime, eat with Clara because today is her birthday.


At the lavish France residence, Clara has been wearing her mother's best-given dress.


Laura was waiting for France to arrive and saw the post on her Instagram homepage.


“Honey, what do you want from mama?” asked Laura who was relaxing with her daughter in the living room.


“Again males ask for a gift ma,” answer jutek.


“Kok is?” Laura turned her gaze at the gloomy-looking Clara.


“Why you?” putting an ipad on the sofa then approached Clara while stroking her shoulder.


Clara looked at her mother with sad eyes. “I can't ask my sister to be released soon?”


Laura breathed out slowly. “Mama also wants to love. But ... it's not an easy thing,”


“Say papa is great?”


Laura shook her head while smiling calmly. “Papa is still a human being, baby. Remember, don't demand it's the same. Poor thing, papa you're tired of thinking business,”


“Clara until now still confused with papa business!”


“Loh .. don't protest. You are lucky to have everything. All of that from the hard work of papa,” persuaded Laura.


Clara. He was sad to think about Lucia's fate. Having been a prisoner of Diego, Clara could not imagine what her sister's condition would be like.


“Come smile, papa has come!” show Laura then embrace her child's shoulder.


“Happy birthday dear son!” said France while carrying a beautiful birthday cake.


Clara gave a fake smile and hugged her papa back. The cake that was brought earlier had been secured by a waiter.


“Kok pout that?” France rubbed Clara's cheek gently.


“Tadi thought papa would not come, like last year.” Laura's looking for an excuse.


“This papa has come baby!” France shrugs the shoulders of both precious women towards the dining table.


‘Did Lucia also celebrate her birthday?’ Inner Clara.


‘Does he also feel the same warmth?’
