“Basicized. How old is this guy?” amucku.
Keegan just kept quiet to see me who was riding apitam.
“I admit he's a very talented actor. The movie she is starring in is always sweet. She is the first love of many teenage girls out there,” even Catherine fell in love for the first time with the man and was constantly fascinated every time she watched the movie or drama, “but indeed he can behave as easily as this?”
I held up the phone in front of Keegan's stiff face. The person standing in front of me across the table was the one who told me about this.
“While the Bianca problem has just been solved, there are others. What exactly do talent scouts do in our company? Choosing an artist is not good. And they were not well educated. Just because they are artists, they think they can do anything they want—“
I glanced at Keegan who was patiently listening to me furiously. I know raving can't solve the problem, but the boss is there for this kind of rage.
“This.” I'm handing Keegan's phone back. The phone in it shows the latest story belonging to Tony Lesmana. That stated that he would be out of our agency. He doesn't even talk to me about this. But just as willing to make an announcement like that and make a scene for people.
“Do I need to contact Tony Lesmana?”
“No need. I will contact him directly. That guy needs to be taught a lesson directly.” My hand squeezed the pen I haven't seen since when I was holding it. “You can go now, Kee.”
Keegan looked at me a long time ago. “Is Mom really okay? Tony broke off the engagement and this time wants out of our agency. Mother must be sad—”
I raised both my hands to ask him to stop. I know Keegan wouldn't believe it if I told you I wasn't at all hurt by all the man's ridiculous actions. “I'm okay. You can exit sekrang.”
After Keegan's death, I called Tony.
“Halo,” answers lazily. Hah, this is how this guy answered the phone from his boss.
“I need to talk to you now. Come to my room now!”
He's clucking. “I can't. I—“
“Come now! I know you don't have any activities.” It's not my fault that every morning Keegan gives a Tony Lesmana schedule.
“Why do you want—“
“Who did it first? If you are a little smart, you must know your childish behavior has made things difficult. So if you still have a little sense of responsibility or common sense, quickly come here right now! Or do I need someone to drag you here?” I immediately turned off the phone. If I don't know what I'll say next. That guy really pisses me off.
If he were in front of me right now I would somehow khilaf broke a glass vase into his head that was not there.
Tony arrived thirty minutes later.
“So what do you mean write such an announcement on Instagram?” mulaiku with a calm voice.
“It's clear, right? I'm leaving this agency.”
I massaged my temple which suddenly felt like it was tightly gripped. “Custom to use formal language if you talk to your boss.”
The man looked shaken. “You—“
“Still don't understand either? Alright since I'm good, I'll explain a little bit to you. I am your boss, the boss should be called mother or father. So you should call me that too. It's not just calling you that. And get used to calling yourself ‘me’ if you are talking to me.”
He looked at me with scorn. “You're upset that our engagement was cancelled?”
I refrained from rolling my eyes. So I replied calmly and with dignity, “Now you even bring personal problems. Look, I don't care if our engagement is off and you're gonna hate me or something. But be a little professional. You think the contract is a joke. Which when you are bored can be canceled. You are not playing hide and seek with your friends who are tired of staying stopped. Ka-mu i-ni se-dang be-ker-ja,” I said those words while tapping my finger on the table. “Did you not read your contract letter well when you signed it first?”
The man was holding back his anger.
“Speak. But do not bring personal problems.”
“I'm right to get out of this rotten place. And I'll stay out no matter what.”
“Well if that's what you want.”
Tony's eyes bought. He seemed to be in disbelief. “Good. Then goodbye.” The man intended to just leave.
He looked back at me full of scorn. “Of course go. Make what I keep here with you.”
She thinks I want to hold her for a friendly two-dua? Hid. Disgustedly.
“Whom you both want to be with. Our conversation is not yet finished.”
“What else?” ask her while frowning.
“Sure you know canceling the contract there will be a fine.”
“You want me to pay you?” He looks angry.
I'm laughing a little. “You don't seem to know about this. You are stupid or something. Everywhere must be like this. There's even the law. If you don't believe just ask your lawyer.” I wouldn't be surprised if he was feeling deceived or anything, because I just realized he really had nothing but his handsome face.
In the novel he is like a competent man who can do anything. It did not matter at all that she was bothered by the female lead. Yes, I should have known a man who was so definitely not sane. Time to do anything? If told to kill people so that the female lead could be happy would she still do it? Screaming at the person in front of me, yes, it seems like he can do that too. Because it takes sanity to know that your actions are crazy.
“Good. How much should I pay?”
“Perhaps about a few billion. I don't know for sure. Lawyer—“
“Some billion? Are you not sane?”
You're not sane.
“Now you call me insane?”
“This is a robbery.”
Back I massaged the temple. “You know exactly how much loss this company has to bear because you quit at will? I do not question him or beg you to stay because I am lazy to see you. But just think about it, we've signed a lot of cooperation contracts for you. Even your schedule is still there until next year. You think we don't have to compensate if we suddenly decide to cooperate with them? You never thought or how? If you dare to make a decision, it means you have to dare to take responsibility. That's the price you have to pay for all your irresponsible deeds.”
The man fell silent.
“If you understand, you can go. I still have a lot of work to do besides taking care of a troublemaker like you.”

“Kee, I think I need a holiday.” Is correct. I am very rich and can certainly take a vacation for a month on a luxury yacht and continue to ride a private jet just to eat durian in Singapore. My savings account was zero until it was hard to calculate.
Duh, I'm the rich guy.
“If you want a vacation, Mom should ask for approval from your Dad first.”
“Dad?”
Ah, yes it is. Founder of this company. Jonathan Wijaya's. My old father. Now a little bit of Catherine's memory goes straight in once I'm reminded of something. I feel grateful too. Moreover, in Catherine's background novel is not very explained.
“Maybe your father won't be too much trouble, but stepmom—“
“Sister?” my screams.
“Why does a mother like new know that she has a stepmother?”
“Ah, she wasn't important until I almost forgot she was there.” Damn the memory of this stepmother did not appear. But usually stepmom in the evil novels, right? Or I was wrong.
“I will go home later,” my sudden break up. I must see the Catherine family with my own eyes.
