One week later
Arthur's decisive move clashed with the marble floor to take center stage in the company's lobby. Just leaving the company for one week already made the female employees miss the man. Not only missed their President, Darren the accomplice of Arthur also became the target of their longing.
Being watched with such admiration was common to him. But Arthur did not return the gazes of his employees. A flat walk followed by Darren towards the elevator until the two arrived in the room.
"Der, did you figure out what I told you?" tanyanya while dropping her body on the seat of his greatness that had been abandoned by him for a week.
"I've got some information you want to know" Darren said.
"Say!" Arthur rubs his elbows on the table, all his fingers left to hook each other.
"Miss Helena and her mother were mistreated by Jorge and Margaret. Since Anna Carl's mother died, Miss Helena has lived her life alone. He decided to leave the Bonham residence and continue his dream of becoming a designer in Paris. Miss Helena's relationship with her father wasn't very good, even before Anna Carl didn't have a relationship they could be said to be a family that wasn't harmonious."
Arthur goes silent listening, digesting and begins to understand Helena's past life. "Didn't the information you gave me earlier, Jorge took Margaret with him after Anna's death?"
Darren's brain is forced to work to spin memories of the previous one. "It's true, but the latest information I've got is that Jorge was actually married to Margaret before he married Anna."
Arthur seemed to nod, he began to guess most likely if Anna was a mistress. But this is not possible, because all the general public knows and knows Anna Carl is the Mistress in the Bonham Family.
"The marriage of Jorge and Anna is legal in the eyes of law and religion, Ar. Jorge married his lover Margaret without the blessing of Mr. Stuart and his wife. They were eventually expelled without being allowed to bring a penny of the Bonham Family's property." Darren's description further makes Arthur understand, it's just that Helena's relationship with her family is very bad.
"What about the man we met at the restaurant?" tanyanya. Recalling the way the man looked at Helena made him uncomfortable and ordered Darren to investigate.
"Edwin Hemsworth was the only son and heir of the Hemsworth family. Since long ago the man had an interest in Miss Helena and willingly along with Miss Helena's half-sister who was none other than Caroline just for the sake of being able to see Miss Helena. And Caroline is the woman we saw at the Restaurant with Edwin, Ar."
"Caroline?" Arthur's mouth formed a circle, just right when Helena mentioned 'Carol', he felt familiar with the name. But he did not expect the attitude of the man named Edwin, already had a lover still want to approach another woman.
"Miss Helena was still with Mr. Mikel. Edwin relented and waited for them to part, as it turned out that his hope had really come to pass, Miss Helena parted ways with Mr. Mikel for no apparent reason. Though according to the information I heard they were fine and all were sorry for their parting which looked very harmonious and-"
"Quite Der!" An annoyed touch accompanied by a table buzz made Darren suddenly close his mouth, even though he had not finished his sentence. "Do you think I want to hear their past stories, heh?!" Doesn't like to hear matching words pinned by people about Helena's relationship with Mikel, making her body suddenly heat up.
"All right, I'm quiet." Darren understands Arthur's jealousy and does not continue his words. "We have an investment in the Hemsworth Company, do you want to withdraw Romanov Group's investment from that company?" back to Edwin Hemsworth.
"no need. If that guy is going to mess around again, you can pull the Romanov Group investment." At least he had a gunshot if only the man dared to approach Helena.
Let's just say Arthur wants to protect his own from another man, just that it's hard to admit. Darren realizes Arthur's true feelings for the woman.
"All right." Darren just followed Arthur's orders.
Arthur touched one of the maps, but immediately put the map back when he remembered something he had forgotten. "Der?" call later.
"Yes?" Darren looked up at Arthur, who had just landed his body on the sofa.
"Do you know of his whereabouts?" His eyes demanded an answer from Darren.
"Are you talking about Miss Helena, Ar?" But what was asked was so annoying and asked back.
"No, I asked about Mommy!" he cried with a rough sigh. "You know you don't have to ask anymore!"
"You look stupid smiling like that!" burmur Arthur noticed the thin smile pinned by Darren.
Ck, Darren can only cluck in the heart. "I haven't heard any more information from our men. Looks like it's been a week since Miss Helena left her apartment. The officer just said that Miss Helena brought two suitcases and said she was going to the airport."
"Then are you sure you didn't find it in Paris?" The question was repeatedly asked by Arthur. During this time the woman settled in Paris, most likely back to the city of love.
"I've been looking for Ar, but I didn't find Miss Helena there and Miss Helena's flight was canceled a few days ago. No flights on behalf of Miss Helena Bonham."
Hearing Darren's remark, Arthur rubbed his face in frustration. No matter where the woman went, she and Darren could not find her whereabouts. Even Elie asked her whereabouts. There was no way he could ask Mikel, it was better that he was agitated all day because of his curiosity, rather than meeting the man.
***
Anxiety also seemed to surround Bonham's residence. Jorge and Margaret never stopped arguing because they disagreed. Caroline was made dizzy by arguing with her parents. So he had to cover his ears with earphones and listen to music while stalking news accounts about Arthur. Yeah, since that meeting, Caroline's been crazy about Arthur. Even he ignored Edwin who tried to meet him. Why be with Edwin if he can get a man who is more than anything, he thought.
If only Arthur had social media, maybe Caroline has now saved all of Arthur's photos or even followed the account about the man.
"You're wrong Jorge. Why blame myself?!" Again Margaret did not want to be blamed alone for Helena's disappearance from their eyes.
"Because you're stupid! You acted rashly telling our men to meet him!" jorge is full of emotion.
"Didn't you agree to inject the drug into Helen's body?"
"Yes, but not that way! What if he was saved by someone and suddenly lost his sanity?!" Jorge was very upset with his wife's plans at the time. Without thinking carefully, intercept and give injections of drugs while on the way. If Margaret had done it more neatly, they could have secured Helena first and not had to lose track of her daughter.
"It is only good that he loses his sanity so that his fate is the same as Anna's going crazy!"
"We haven't got his autograph yet! Did you forget, huh? The board doesn't trust me anymore because of our stupidity at the meeting one week ago!" Jorge reminded Helena's actions that thwarted the woman's stock sale plan. The incident made it hard for the board of directors to believe and even Alarick, Mikel and Helena's confidant at the Bonham Company, was keeping a close eye on her.
Margaret was dumbstruck, she confirmed the words of her husband. "Then what should we do? I don't want to wait any longer. You must take over everything and publicly announce my true status that I am your first wife!" Margaret was very nervous every time she gathered with her social friends to hear the scorn of those who did not like her. Some of her friends called herself a mistress.
Jorge grabbed her hair violently. It was always that his wife demanded. Though he had been trying to find a way to be able to divert the company into his name. "Wait a few more days. I've been able to move all assets into my name."
"You should have done that a long time ago!" cibir Margareth insinuated the folly of her husband. "Don't let Helena get married. Because if he gets married, then we'll miss the opportunity to take control of the Bonham Family's assets."
"That's not gonna happen. After all, I'm also part of the Bonham family. I'm Stuart and Belish's first son, they wouldn't mind being out there if I took it all." Jorge's words were full of confidence, because what should have been his will come back to him. Although at that time his parents did not give some of his property for opposing his marriage to Margaret.
Margaret smiled, impatient to get recognition as the real Lady of Bonham, so as to silence the mouths of those who had insulted her.
