The Billionaire Mafia
I Wish You Were All Right

Arthur and Darren are in the office. Once inside, Arthur immediately removed the collared T-shirt he was wearing. He just wanted to let his naked body be buffeted by the cold.

"Have you brought me everything I asked for, Der?" tanyanya to the point.

"It." Indeed, the arrival of Darren in addition to providing important documents that must be signed immediately. He also wanted to provide something from the research results of their men. Since then Darren brought a paper bag and a map, so he immediately put everything he held on the table.

The first thing Arthur achieved was an important document of the company. He reads to be scrutinized first, though he believes Darren is unlikely to make a mistake. Because whatever has passed through Darren's hands, it is certain that his assistant checked and revised first if there is an error in typing or even the worst is an error in the nominal amount to be issued.

After an autograph was signed, Arthur closed the map. Then put it on the table, before then grabbing the paper bag that looks quite heavy. Arthur's hand reached inside to reveal a black object that was nothing but an expensive camera.

"You printed it Der?" Arthur asked again as he turned the camera on and sat his body on the table.

"As you wish Ar. I've printed a lot. Photographic evidence along with voice recordings have been stored properly," said Darren reported the thing he had been doing.

"Good." Think proud. "If all the evidence has been gathered, we can carry out the second plan. I don't want to wait long, because sooner or later they're going to use Elie" he added.

"You take it easy, they've been having trouble getting close to Miss Elie. Especially when in the company, they can not do anything. It's just that we have to make sure Miss Elie won't come to the Club tonight by herself, it'll further smooth their plans." Darren returns. That's why unbeknownst to Aurelie, both Arthur and Darren keep a tight guard from a distance.

"Don't ease their wiggle room, Der. Make sure our men take care of Elie, "he ordered. "And let the company run its course as usual, I want to see how much longer Alan Born will keep the company."

"Hem, leave it to me" he replied confidently. "And about Mr. Alan Born, he wants to see you tomorrow morning. There's something he wants to talk to you about in person."

Hearing Darren's words, Arthur frowned. "For what? Doesn't our company no longer cooperate with him."

"I don't know either, his secretary came to the company. That woman didn't leave if she hadn't met me, that's why I've met her." Just before lunchtime, Mr. Alan Born's female secretary came to the company and insisted on meeting. In order not to disturb the comfort in the scope of the company, Darren undertakes their meeting.

"Let Alan Born meet me at the company. I wonder what the old man is up to." Arthur smiled a smile. Plunge in the business world makes him quite understand the attitude and character of a person, even the ambitions of some colleagues who sometimes make him shake his head in disbelief.

"Well, I'll call Mr. Alan Born's secretary after returning to the company."

Arthur nodded, then sat down in the work chair. Cupping both hands with elbows resting on the table. "Is there anything else you want to tell Der?" tanyanya then looked.

Darren would never be half-assed if he investigated something. Therefore he knows every company that uses the services of Aurelie to become a brand ambassador.

"Miss Elie is a brand ambassador at MJ Corp" she reported.

"MJ Corp?" Arthur repeated Darren's words. The company sounded familiar to him.

"True, a giant company that has been running for six years. There is no record of that company. From the information I got, the owner and president of the company had previously bought a company that had long failed in Amsterdam, then developed it back in the City of London, so that it could be as big as it is today."

Instead of being curious about the company that uses the services of his sister, Arthur smiled. "Mysterius.." he murmured. His fingers rubbed his chin repeatedly, marked if Arthur was interested. "Der, make an appointment with the company," he said tucked meaningfully.

Darren's eyes were almost perfectly rounded when he heard what Arthur had just said. "Ar, are you okay?" And finally Darren raised that question.

One of Arthur's eyebrows is pulled upwards. "You mean?"

"Did you forget that MJ Corp is engaged in jewelry. It has nothing to do with our company. Why ask to meet him?" Really Darren was confused, he had thought that Arthur was not okay, so he could say that, he thought.

"You know Der. Without you explaining it I already know, but there's no harm in making an appointment with him. You can tell him that our company needs investors who want to work together."

"Don't tell me you want to invest in that company Ar?" search Darren accompanied by eyes that squinted sharply.

"If you can, why not Der? Didn't you say the company is growing well? That's why I want to try investing there."

"You must be kidding Ar." Darren clucked wryly. He did not believe it just like that, considering it was something far beyond their company field.

"Just do it, you can get one of the investors in that company to sell me his shares." But Arthur is still Arthur, whatever he says is absolute. So that whatever has been decided, inevitably must be done even though it is difficult.

The pessimistic words thrown by Darren made Arthur raise a sharp gaze. "I don't want to know Der! How do you get those shares for me. If you need to, you threaten them. Isn't that easy for you, huh?!" Arthur, visibly distraught, reaffirms Darren if his assistant is unable to respond to what he is told.

"All right.... I'll make sure one of them sells you his shares" Darren resigned. He slipped a coarse breath that he breathed when he responded to Arthur's orders.

Arthur smiled with a grin. He felt challenged to dig deeper about MJ Corp. Actually Darren had realized that something was planned by Arthur, so he had to run it properly.

Instantly the face of Arthur who was originally stiffened suddenly. "Der, did you get any more information about Uncle Matthew and his family?"

Darren gasped, he had not even gotten a report back since one year ago. Darren can only shake. "Sorry Ar, I haven't been able to find their whereabouts. From what I got from the airport clerk, they checked into a flight to Russia. But you and I have investigated it directly if they're not in the country."

"You're right, Der. But it's been over 10 years, Dad and I haven't found their whereabouts." Arthur scratched his hair and looked weak. He felt like a failure because he could not help his Daddy looking for the existence of Uncle Matthew family.

"Son..." Somehow since when Xavier had been standing in the doorway, his still-strength body had almost covered the door room.

Hearing Xavier's voice, Arthur raised his face towards the door. "Dad, when did you stand there?" asked Arthur nervously.

"Since you talked about my friend Matthew." Then close the door and walk towards the two men of different generations with her. "So again you failed to find their whereabouts?" Somehow Xavier's words seemed mocking.

"Sorry Dad." Cultivate Arthur's guilt for his Daddy.

"No problem." And was taken for granted by Xavier. The old but still handsome man, immersed himself in one of the single sofas. "I should have said this a long time ago, but since I'm not afraid of not being able to accept it so I let it drag on."

The views of Arthur and Darren who had originally looked seriously at the figure of a half-century man they respected, suddenly confused and looked at each other.

"What do you mean Dad?" ask Arthur urgently.

No reply for a while, Xavier leaned back on the back of the sofa and exhaled his breath into the air. "You can go to one of the bookstores in Amsterdam. This is no ordinary bookstore. If that bookstore still survives, then we're lucky."

And the two young men were increasingly confused by Xavier's words. I don't know why they have to solve such a puzzle.

"Dad, just say the obvious. I don't quite understand" complained Arthur with a face that looked stupid. So that made Xavier chuckle to see the faces of his son and nephew who were only able to be dumbfounded.

"There's something Matthew's hiding in there and I don't know what he's hiding. He just said that if he ever goes somewhere, I have to go to a bookstore called ABC Bookstore in Hey Spui Amsterdam," the word Xavier explains what he remembers, although his memory is slightly weakened.

"Then in two days, Darren and I will fly to Amsterdam" Arthur said.

"Hem, but be careful. It could be that someone is secretly watching you, "he advised. "And one more thing, no one can carelessly meet the owner. That's why you need to say the password in order to meet the owner."

Arthur and Darren nodded simultaneously. Both of them felt challenged because they had not had fun for a long time. Especially Arthur, he wants to soon discover the whereabouts of Michael, a childhood friend who used to be his role model.

I hope you're okay, Mike.
