Pak Adolfis looked at Kaliana with a calm and thoughtful gaze while smiling faintly. He admitted his son's carefree and arrogant mistake. Perhaps all this time, no one had ever or did not dare to go against him, thus making his pride torn apart when Kaliana suddenly fought him off.

Especially Kaliana is a woman. During this time, Bryan was always adored and pursued by many women. To his surprise, there were women who were not interested in him, even daring to fight him with piercingly sharp words. It made his pride hurt and very angry. His rational mind evaporated along with his leveling emotions.

"I can't wait to see what kind of weapon you use, to dare to fight me." Bryan's words that did not respond to his Daddy's gesture, made Mr. Adolfis stunned. Likewise with Danny who already knows the character of Kaliana, if challenged.

"Sir Bryan... My weapon is as sharp as my words. If you want to try it, bolee... Sometimes we need to test the ability before working. Please set a time, I'm ready to serve..." Kaliana said coldly without flinching with Bryan's anger.

"But now, you need to queue. Mr. Adolfis, please tell your son this. Learn to set priorities in certain things. Now, his sister is waiting for his help in prison. So don't be selfish, think of yourself and his ego as a man." Kaliana said to Adolfis, without seeing Bryan whose face was getting red.

'If we work unprofessionally and haphazardly, today maybe your sister is not yet in custody.' Kaliana said inwardly, while glancing at big sister Chasina who was still looking at him with a reddened face.

"Sir Adolfis... Please shareloc your house to me, because there is no benefit I am sitting here for the benefit of your daughter. Now I'm going to your house to meet with Mrs Chasina's driver." Said Kaliana while taking the phone from her vest bag.

"Mr Kaliana, don't respond to my son's words. Let's talk about the purpose of this meeting. But before we talk, we'll have lunch." Said Mr. Adolfis softly to Kaliana and tried to calm Bryan who was still emotional, because the words of Kaliana sharp and had just heard.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adolfis. I can't eat lunch in this way. The food won't slide smoothly through my throat. So, it would be nice to talk about Mr. Adolfis inviting me. About lunch, later I look for food that can pass my throat without a hitch." Kaliana said so, because she had no taste for eating together in that place.

Mr. Adolfis understood Kaliana's intention to probably not have the taste to eat with them. "Then, Ms. Kaliana please look at this covenant letter and sign it, before working. Let us be equally good at work." Said Mr. Adolfis, then signaled to the family lawyer to continue his duties.

Bryan silently heard what Kaliana said and shifted his emotions by drinking mineral water in front of him. He realized, what Kaliana said was true. He came home to help his Daddy help Chasina, his sister.

Kaliana took the sheet of paper that the lawyer gave her. "Sir Adolfis, can you wait a minute? I need to read this letter of agreement, so that we can work well and professionally. Ooh, yeah... I can correct, if there's anything I need to correct, huh?" Kaliana asked seriously, while looking at Mr. Adolfis for approval. Mr. Adolfis nodded in understanding.

"This Point, sir. Please be corrected, or just crossed out. I can't help Ms. Chasina, if she's guilty. We're working professionally, so if we find evidence that Ms. Chasina is guilty, we can't help her." Kaliana said seriously, so that the letter of agreement does not bind the end result of their work.

"Regarding this point to discuss the development of the case with Mr. Bryan, I don't think it is necessary. All the evidence we found will be given to Ms. Chasina's lawyer in preparation for the defense at the trial." Kaliana said seriously, because it is not comfortable to work with Bryan.

"Look, Miss Kaliana... Bryan I asked to come back here to help me in dealing with his sister's problems. So please understand, Ms. Kaliana. I have a busy life, so I can't monitor it all the time. We will both share the task of dealing with this situation." Said Mr. Adolfis slowly, hoping that Kaliana softened and wanted to understand his position as a father and also a businessman.

"Good, Sir. But he can't interfere. We used to work alone. So when we report, and some do not understand, he can ask and we will explain. But as for our workings, it is forbidden to enter and organize or intervene." Kaliana said firmly. Bryan only heard, without commenting. Kaliana worries that Bryan is powerful and wants a lot, when he sees how they work that may not be in accordance with his thoughts and heart.

Kaliana's words about her sister who was waiting in prison, had hit her consciousness hard. So that he remained silent while listening and waiting for all the corrections of Kaliana. He was not a fool and did not care for his sister, so he did not understand what Kaliana said.

"Good, Sir. The others need not be corrected." Kaliana said, then signed the sheet of paper, including the part that was crossed out and corrected with her handwriting. Then gave the sheet in his hand to Bryan, seeing his name listed in the agreement letter.

Bryan was surprised to see Kaliana immediately sign, without negotiating the funds to be received. Or add a special point to support their work, special funds. 'Didn't he know who we were, so he didn't raise his budget?' Bryan asked in his heart. Isn't the mobility detective high and it costs a lot?' Bryan asked in his heart.

That's what Bryan thought. While Kaliana up to twice saw the number to be received. When he wanted correction, he remembered Marons' message not to be corrected. For him, 1/4 of the given number was more than enough. He restrained himself and also his finger to not correct.

Bryan, who was about to sign, added with a handwriting on the carry. 'The numbers above are accepted clean. All unexpected costs in the work, MUST reimbuse.' Bryan added that, seeing as Kaliana would not reimburse unexpected expenses.

Bryan gave that sheet to the lawyer and also to Kaliana. When looking at Bryan's handwriting, Kaliana looked at Bryan with a face that did not understand. But Bryan only drank mineral water while glancing at the reaction of Kaliana from the edge of the glass as he read his handwriting.

Kaliana who wanted to say something, immediately fell silent. He remembered what Marons had said. Marons' words came back to his mind, 'don't correct them'.

'Let it, only. Reimbursement or not, that's business later. For what is the urgency.' Kaliana said inwardly to remind him and control his speech. 'Isn't the sopape team's spending on solving cases, it doesn't need to be reported to him?' Kaliana asked himself inwardly, so as not to prolong the debate.
