For Zeva, work is everything.
The bus had just returned home at three in the morning, only slept for about two hours but Zeva's unrelenting voice filled the room which was still dark.
Yes, he started working before dawn, got ready, then left for the office around seven to eight in the morning. Bastian had not yet woken up, and the man prepared all his own needs.
Honestly, the man wants to all go back to the past, where the Zevanya has not been in power as it is now. They are a romantic couple, harmonious, and far from slanted gossip despite being busy with their respective efforts. Zeva had been with him two years before marriage, and it had been 12 years they were together, and during that time, Bastian saw the real change of Zeva. As the day progresses, their relationship grows further, their love slowly becomes less than intact. Dan—
"Bus ...."
That position was slowly infiltrated by the attention of a Roro. Since a few years ago—7 years, they are close and Zeva did not ask or what. So Bastian is free to do it. To be honest, the seeds of love between them have been around since he and Zeva just got married, but Bastian tried to shake things off until 7 years ago, Bastian let Roro into his life. Only his life, not his heart.
"Wake, Bas!" A gentle pat landed on Bastian's cheek. The woman was indeed free to enter the penthouse owned by Bastian who occupied with Zeva during marriage. Indeed, not only Roro who is free to enter, there is a manager Bastian, Farhan .. who also has full control of this house. Zeva risi's? No, he's fine. If you feel disturbed, just move to the next tower, he has two units merged into one to occupy himself.
Bastian has tried several times to bring work and a dozen crews home, hoping Zeva objected, but the woman was welcome. Should, Zeva rebuked, this house—penthouse, is their love house, their intimate nest, not just anyone can enter, but what power, Zeva cuek and said it is Bastian's right too.
"Bas ... Your schedule is tight! M&K and Middle Night have financial audits."
Bastian couldn't pretend to sleep anymore hearing that. He is already desperate about his relationship with Zeva, so let him and Roro be closer now. Bastian deliberately allowed himself to get involved in a scandal.
Roro sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Bastian's body in astonishment, so his lips smiled. "Wear your clothes" he asked, spoiled and timid.
Bastian knew, so he put his lips closer to Roro's.
"Bas, someone's gonna see." He pushes Bastian's body without intention, making Bastian can not give up just like that, and directly overlap Roro's body. I*****Roro's lips are deeper, and something hot is bound to happen in their professional relationship.
"Bas ... called the producer!"
The two humans suddenly moved away, Bastian went straight to the bathroom, while Roro wavered and grabbed the map at the table.
"Bag ....!"
Roro stared at the door with an ordinary look. "He's still in the bathroom."
"Please tell him to hurry," Pinta Farhan after watching Roro for a while. He circulated his gaze, then passed by while loosening his shoulders.
Uh, almost.
Roro flopped onto the bed, sighing in relief. His eyes stared at the entire corner of this extremely luxurious room with a gaze full of plans.
The phone next to him rang. Bastian's phone lit up with the contact name Zeva appearing on the screen. He knew it was time to leave.
"Bas, the hunt .. Farhan awaited." He knew the opportunity was coming. But not now.
***
At the office, Zeva just arrived with a lot of complaints and also the escape of some big investors. He was in a hurry until an important file was left behind, so in between the emergency room, Zeva took the time to contact Bastian. In addition to asking Bastian to deliver the cooperation file, he also wanted to ask the situation of her husband who had never greeted her or even the lyrics at all.
Bastian must be aware. He was busy as a company leader.
"Boo, Mr. Norwich is on your line!" Ana interrupts, forcing Zeva to switch to an office phone she's already connected to her father.
"What's going on, Zeva?" Mr's Voice. Norwich in New York split Zeva's ear. There was no anger or snapping, but Zeva managed to tremble.
"Give Zeva time, Dad ... everything will be finished within 24 hours." He himself hesitated, but .. he has come this far and it is a pity that he should fall.
"Is so complicated, right?"
"Yess, but Zeva can finish as usual. There are only a few investors who need reassurance, Dad .. market issues make their confidence a little shaky." Zeva was convincing.
"Tomorrow Daddy's just gonna see everything back to normal," pressed Mr. Norwich. "Or Daddy himself will step in to take over."
"Don't worry, Dad .. Everything will be fine. Enjoy your time there."
Zeva waited until the call was dropped, before she called Ana and asked for clarity as to why the investor would be willing to withdraw his investment this late.
"I don't know for sure, ma'am ..but obviously, there are those who offer more profits than our company." Ana is afraid to explain the hot issues that are circulating. But he had no choice.
"Who is that? And has the company proven to be more profitable than those of us who have been successful for years?" Geez, it's easy to rival NC with just the lure, huh? The evidence is not concrete yet. Zeva had not even heard of another name that was able to make her tremble even just heard her name.
"Have you heard of Rome Industries?" Ana asked carefully and after frowning for a full minute, Zeva shook her head. "They're doing mining business which he says is a turnover of millions of dollars per month."
I don't know which one's better, but Zeva knows, she's got to see Rome Industries.
"The financial audit results from M&K and Middle Night come in tomorrow afternoon, ma'am ...."
Furthermore, Zeva only heard the faint voice of Ana. His mind was focused on Rome Industries, and his hands were itching to surf to find out.
Why does the name resemble something or someone? The feeling is bad.
"... cooperation file with HK Holding, is it ready, ma'am? Mr. Kenan is now on his way here." Zeva is forced to stop and call Bastian. The renewal of the contract with the Asian industrial giant was left at home.
"Hello, Bas... Can you bring a map on the room table? Rough dark red. That's cooperation with HK, yes .. renewal only. But it is important, Mr. Kenan has come here, "Zeva said quickly as usual.
"Not far from home, get it, yeah! Ana's busy, the driver's all gone. We got a problem, Bas." Zeva again said after hearing Bastian's explanation across the street. Then the call was switched off, after Bastian agreed. She waited for a while until the door of the room was knocked, and Ana let her go.
"Mrs. Kenan's in the meeting room, ma'am." A staff member showed up and told me.
"Have Clint accompany him first, we'll be there as soon as possible." Zeva thinks Clint and Kenan know each other. So let them talk first.
"He came with Mr. Lui." The staff only told me, not meaning anything, but Zeva trembled slightly. Lui Yaoshan is the owner of an international level company, his arrival is sure to see how far NC is worth partnering with. Good opportunity.
Zeva's phone rang, and Zeva quickly answered. "Where's the Bus?"
"I didn't find the map you meant in the room, Zeva! I've been looking for but—"
"What's? Find the right one, Bas?! That's NC's life!"
And Bastian certainly doesn't care.
