RWAMEIN KOMENNNNN

Jeni blinked her eyes. His only child seemed really upset and sulked at him. She pulled her husband's hand.

"Mas, it's because of you. Last night we were supposed to pick up Jenna's phone. He's a lick, '" said Jeni.

"So she'll be back again. He's PMS again, right? Naturally his emotions are not in control," said Adam.

"Yes, but not papi. Jenna sometimes long time ago if it's like that," said Jeni.

"Let Zayn try to persuade Jenna tan. Last night Jenna also made a sprain Zayn, maybe angry until now," said Zayn.

"Repair your relationship. Sorry Jenna, she's still a little childish sometimes" Adam said.

"Yes, that's for sure. Zayn will definitely improve our relationship" Zayn said.

Adam nodded and parted with Zayn there. He enters his room with Jeni while Zayn comes to Adam's office to meet Jenna. Actually since morning he's been following Jenna, only he's been monitoring from afar. Zayn even saw Jenna's interaction with Mario this morning. Luckily Jenna refused Mario.

Zayn glanced at Jenna's door. The door's tightly closed. Zayn was eager to enter but he held back, he did not want to add to Jenna's broken mood. It's still morning. Maybe he'll try it at lunch.

While in her room, Jenna immediately did all her work. He wants to go home quickly. But there was one meeting today. Meeting to discuss about progress of hotel development in Bali. He had studied the material for a while but returned to focus on the rest of his work that was not much.

Jenna behaved like that to her mom and dad out of annoyance. They were never there when Jenna needed them. When Jenna is not needed, they are always there. Strange indeed.

Jenna does not want to take a headache about it, it is better that she focuses on her current job.

Mario threw his butt at the sofa in his apartment. It is unemployment. All this time his living expenses were borne by Yura.

While with Jenna, Mario worked hard. He was always encouraged by Jenna to actively seek money to support her own needs. Even thanks to the spirit given by Jenna, within two years he was able to buy an apartment unit. But after getting to know Yura, he became lazy to work and ended up in PHK because he often skipped. Indeed, all his needs were borne by Yura at this time. But he felt something strange.

Giving her virginity to Yura, even always having s*x with the woman. Mario himself already feels if he is addicted to s*x. He sometimes goes to clubs to hire women there without Yura's knowledge. There were not even counted how many women he had run over.

It feels like knowing Jenna and Yura is different. Jenna always taught her about the importance of struggling to make money on her own, in contrast to Yura. The woman always asked him to stop working and always asked him to accompany her all day on the bed.

But he cannot deny it also if he does enjoy it and always wants to do it.

"So all this time he's been giving me money, money from a man with a belly like the one I just saw?" Ask Mario.

"Gue can't keep believing. I think I have to change, let Jenna want me again. I don't want Jenna to leave my life especially I don't want Jenna to be with another guy, too" said Mario.

Maybe yes, the moment he speaks will change but no one knows what the future will be like. Either Mario will keep his word or not. Only time can answer.

Jenna's been in the meeting room for an hour, here's her papi, Zayn, Rendra's om, and a few more people. Jeni is also here, considering she has also joined the business world like this.

Jenna's gaze was flat. No smile as usual. Maybe because you are tired of being in this place. He wanted to immediately go find the wind to come out with Ale. It happens to be tomorrow too the weekend. He'll spend time with Ale. Whether it's shopping or hunting food as usual.

"So, what do you think about Miss Adam? The construction of hotels in Bali has been experiencing swelling funds. Do you know the cause? Or maybe you ask the financial party to look for more expensive materials? Given your very high lifestyle," said a man there. He is Patur, one of the investors in Hendri's office who turns out he is also an investor in his project.

"I? You've offended me, I won't hesitate anymore" Jenna said, making everyone pause and staring at her.

"I did handle this project directly and also I always manage the finances, but the money I did not keep on my own. There's my man, "Jenna pauses.

"The staple for the construction of the hotel of course I choose a fairly expensive because I want the building to have a long life that does not need only renovation every year. I also do not want if there is an accident later when the hotel has stood on the grounds of arbitrary selection of cheap goods. But you should know, I choose quality goods at a sloping price. How I got it, it's my business. You don't need to know" Jenna said.

"justified? So you're the investors in that hotel-,"

"I haven't finished talking. How polite are you to cut my speech?" Jenna's question made Patur, the middle-aged man speechless.

Jenna smiled faintly, she picked up her phone and sent something to the office email connected to the laptop.

"Please open that file" Jenna said.

"Well miss."

"You can see for yourself why there is a cost overrun. You also take part in financial matters because you force the board of raw materials to buy some cheap furniture with low quality but at exorbitant prices. That's furniture from your store, right? Look, it's your shop, isn't it? There's one of your employees, too" Jenna explained.

"Cannot be. It's not me, I'm not like that. You don't make fake news. You can get a defamation article and also you can be jailed for embezzling office money, until there is swelling costs" he said.
