NOT PERPETRATORS
The Awkward Togetherness

Paper fragments containing the cooperation agreement letter were scattered on the floor.

"What do you mean, Mr Wibowo?!"

"I'm canceling this partnership!"

Antonio's face turned a dead red. So did Mr. Wibowo, who was staring intently at Antonio. The two men stared at each other, with their respective fury.

"You'll be sorry, Wibowo!"

"There are still many who want cooperation with our bank! You don't have to worry. I will never regret my decision!"

Antonio turned his eyes to me. He walked towards me. However, Mr. Wibowo immediately detained him.

"Don't ever dare touch her again!" furious Mr. Wibowo.

"Well, what's wrong with you? It's suspicious. Don't-don't .. This woman is your mistress!"

Plaque!

A loud slap landed on Antonio's cheek. That makes Antonio go up.

"Get out!!" drive Antonio to Wibowo.

"I'll never set foot in this place again!" said Mr. Wibowo with soul-burning emotions.

"OUT!!"

"Your attitude is very low, Antonio! What a pity," said Mr. Wibowo as he lifted one corner of his lips.

We also leave this place immediately. I followed Mr. Wibowo's steps so quickly. And we got back in the car.

Mr. Wibowo instructed that his personal driver directly drive the car.

In the car, I was still thinking, why did Mr. Wibowo cancel the cooperation. In fact, I have insisted on presenting the cooperation plan. Is ... Mr Wibowo willing to do that for me? To defend myself who was harassed by Antonio?

However, this is strange. Mr. Wibowo hates me, right? Why would he lose that partnership? Scratch the face of Mr. Wibowo. He was always cold. Do I need to apologize?

"Sir" call me.

I know Mr. Wibowo heard me, but he didn't answer me.

Nervous, I said, "I'm sorry. Because of me, you've lost this partnership."

"Don't be too confident. I canceled it not just because of you. However, there was another reason," he said coldly without looking at me.

So, he canceled this partnership, because there's another reason?

"Anyway, I'm very grateful, because you've defended me."

"No one's defending you!"

Although Mr. Wibowo dodged, but still, I am very grateful. Apologize at once, for being the cause of this failure.

"Once again, I'm sorry."

Again, Mr. Wibowo ignored me. I don't understand why Mr. Wibowo is acting so cold. Is ... Is that really a characteristic of him?

After half an hour of travel, Mr. Wibowo suddenly asked the driver to stop.

"We stopped at GR!" exclaimed Mr. Wibowo to his driver.

GR'S? What is GR?

Sure enough, the car stopped at a restaurant I knew, Giant Restaurant.

"Sir, what are we doing here?" my many.

Mr. Wibowo turned to me with a cold look, which made me have to lower my head so as not to look at that scary look.

"So you spoke so fluently during the presentation. Only read once. You shouldn't have to think hard to deduce why people like to go to restaurants."

After saying that, Mr. Wibowo went down. I also walked behind him. Rudi welcomed our arrival. And let us sit down and choose the menu. We also ordered a menu.

Rudi came back with a waitress. They delivered our orders. Rudi was indeed a friendly and not arrogant boss. He is always ready to serve restaurant customers with pleasure. Very far away with the nickname 'Mr. Arogant' as Fania expected him to.

Rudi invited us to eat. He also sat next to me.

"Tumben stopped by, Om."

"It just so happens to be late" replied Wibowo.

Wibowo and I immediately ate our food menu.

"Imania, do you have time tonight?" ask Rudi.

"Later tonight?"

"I want to take you to see the latest movie titled 'Not Actors' in the cinema." (haha Author Kecheh hopes very much!)

"It doesn't seem like it can, Rud," I regret. "I can't leave Arka and Fania either."

"Oh, okay. Another time. But tonight you can play at your house, right?"

"May," I replied with a smile.

"Yes!" sahut Rudi is happy. Then leave us.

Rudi should be here. I was really awkward sitting alone with Mr. Wibowo. He was a man who hardly ever showed a smile on his face. In fact, he always spoke coldly.

"It's not good for a woman to receive guests night-night." Suddenly Mr. Wibowo said to me.

I looked at her for a moment, then looked down again after those eyes were seen highlighting me.

"I-I don't live alone. There's my friend in my house, too" I replied as I stared at the plate with the main course in front of me.

"Of course you don't live with your parents" he asked in a flat tone.

Would Mr Wibowo be angry if he knew that his son had given me a home?

"I-I live with my parents too," I answered lying. Then I returned to feed my mouth with food.

"Eat! After this I'll take you home!"

"Ohuk!"

Hearing that Mr. Wibowo wanted to drive me around surprised me, until my throat choked. Many times I neutralize my breath. Then take a drink.

"Why surprised?" asked Mr. Wibowo without pity to see me choking.

"Nothing, really, sir."

After the meal, Mr. Wibowo paid the cashier. And ask the waiter to wrap one meal. Then we got out of the restaurant, got back in the car.

In the car, Mr. Wibowo gave the food that had been ordered. He gave the food to his personal driver. I feel like I see the other side of Mr. Wibowo. Although it looks cold, but he cares deeply for others, even a personal driver himself. That's my opinion.

"Where's your house?"

"Ec ... Sir. How about we just go back to the office?" I tried to refuse Mr. Wibowo's offer to take me.

"Your work is done today. What to do in the office?"

"Ah, I .. I have some documents I haven't checked yet." I tried to reason again.

"Must be done tomorrow!"

I guess I can't refuse it. With a cautious heart and mind, I tried to look calm. I also pointed out the direction to my house. Not long after, we arrived.

"This is your house?" ask Mr. Wibowo.

"Yes." Yeah."

As I was about to get out of the car, I saw Fania and Arka in front of the gate. They're buying ice cream.
