Fake friend

Marcel's reply, stating that his thoughts about his big boss, were gravely wrong, of course, making Alya's face red was extinguished because he felt very embarrassed to say things that did not make sense to his superiors and suddenly prejudiced badly at his boss' offer for no reason, he doesn't know what Marcel is offering him.

"It's not a novel or drama scene you think about, I just see your performance is good and I want to help develop your talent, put you on a better job than just a chief accountant." Marcel said again.

"Ups,,, that!" Alya pointed to her laptop which was now on Marcel's desk.

"Isn't that-"

"yes, it's yours, I'm just looking at your work, and I'm not interested in any other files." Marcel said lightly.

"But that's my privacy, sir!" Alya grabbed her laptop from Marcel's desk.

"The end-of-month report is all you have, while I need it to complete my monthly documents" Marcel said.

"You can get people to call me to give it to Mr. Joko as usual."

"If anyone can contact you, everyone can't contact you, so the only way is this." Kelit Marcel's.

Again Alya had to admit his mistake, because it was true what Marcel said, while at home he turned off his phone, because he did not want to be disturbed and did not want to talk to anyone.

"I'm not going to tell you to do something that's not in your field, because you're great in your field, and I'm amazed at your ability, so I want you to grow by becoming an independent accountant." Marcel said with a serious expression.

"Independent accountant? Doesn't that mean you fired and kicked me out of your company?" Alya Protests.

*an independent accountant is an accountant who works independently or performs his duties freely, without any interference from any party in doing his work, usually his services can be used by the general public, and is not a part of the public, and because they are independent, they usually have their own offices, (more or less like that, CMIIW)*

"Calm down, don't rush my emotions, everything I do and I plan is of course well thought out, it's all for the common good, I suspect that the leak of the audit is, it is Utari." Said Marcel which of course made Alya almost jumped in shock from his seat.

"Cotless?" Beo Alya seemed to not believe in his own hearing.

"Hemh, I'm sorry if I had to say this, someone I trust has seen Utari and your husband meet several times at JT and also-" Marcel said, he glimpsed a look at Alya's face which looked tense, angry and very curious looking forward to the continuation of his sentence.

"What is he too?" Urge Alya can no longer hide his sense of marketing in Marcel's hanging sentence.

"What does it mean in other places?" Alya asked again who looked not quite satisfied with Marcel's explanation.

But instead of answering, Marcel actually showed a few sheets of photos on Alya sitting opposite across from his desk.

Alya held her breath when she saw the photo of her best friend was secretly coming to her husband in JT group, how close they were, why did she not know and did not realize their closeness? But in just a few seconds, the questions that appeared in Aliya's mind were answered already, when the last few sheets of photos showed a picture of Utari standing with Ivan in front of a hotel building, a hotel, there is also the togetherness of Utari and Ivan in front of a house, suddenly he remembers with a butterfly keychain that Ivan said he deliberately bought for him, he said, making Alya more convinced that between Utari and Ivan there is indeed a hidden relationship behind him.

Why Utari, why it was his closest friend who stabbed himself and became a traitor for his career and home life, how now Alya increasingly distrusts anyone in this world, because it was as if everyone was wearing a mask that he could not see how his real face was, as if smiling at him but behind him mocking, as if embracing but apparently stabbing, as if, everything felt fake in Alya's eyes.

"That's Utari's new home, she just moved a few days ago to that place, according to the landlord of the rented house, the tenant on behalf of Ivan Kusuma, but it is not known what status is owned by the tenant with Utari who occupies the house, basically the owner of the house the person is indifferent and does not want to know, which is important for him full rental money, which is important for him, besides it doesn't matter." Marcel's light is detailed and at length.

"It's not my intention to interfere with your household matters, I'm just investigating this audit case, it's just that by chance and accidentally finding things like this, it's just that, so-don't think that if I affect your household, they could be just friends, or just a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, right?" Stuttering Marcel felt bad because he was impressed to enter the realm of other people's households.

"Emhh, after all, I not only told people to spy on Utari, but Joko, Dinda and also including you, but among all the suspicious things only Utari, but among others, and the others can be declared clean." Marcel continued again, not wanting Alya to feel offended and misunderstood by what he did.

"I understand, but what I do not understand, after you know all that, why did you actually give promotion to Utari?" Clearly there was a confused expression on Alya's face, why did Marcel give the traitor a promotion and try to remove himself who was clearly working honestly from the company.

"I'll tell you if you're willing to accept my proposal of an independent accountant." Marcel said he played a puzzle with him.

"Sir, you don't joke like that with me, opening an accounting firm is not as easy as you might think, other than it takes capital, it takes middle and time to take care of letters and licensing that is very complicated."

"i'll help you, I'll help in the management of permits and all sorts of things, I have a shophouse that you can make an office for a while, if you feel bad you can pay me rent, otherwise, just think of it as my investment in your business, how about it?" Marcel looks very excited to offer high school work with Alya who is in value quite competent in that field, to be honest, besides he has a plan to solve his case with JT group, he said, he also did see Alya's good talent and did not want if Alya just ended up as an employee until the age of unproductive, whereas Alya could be more than just an ordinary employee, and potentially to go further if he stands alone.

Moreover, after seeing Ivan's treatment at Jt slandering Alya with his vileness, Marcel's inner side was suddenly touched and rattled to help Alya in his own way.

"I'm interested in your offer, but I also don't want any misunderstandings with your wife, so I hope this is all in the knowledge of your wife, how?" Said Alya who does not want to meet problems later because of working with people's husbands, one of Marcel's wives will misunderstand him.

"Well, it's manageable and not a problem for me" Marcel said casually.

"Okay, then I'm willing, what should I do?" Alya finally broke up, there is no more wedge in his heart in accepting an offer from Marcel, besides being true said Marcel, it is not only for his own sake, but also for the benefit of all.

Alya was also very curious to uncover what really happened to Utari and Ivan, he knew that he would not be able to dismantle it alone, maybe God gave His hand through Marcel, who knows? What is clear is that the opportunity will never come a second time, besides, she is also already planning to divorce Ivan, so before she actually lives her own life, she must make sure that her condition is indeed ready to live life as a widow on various sides, both material and mental.
