The Broken Ring's
Warning from Arfan

"Sir Erick, it's the same coffee as the bread, sir." Secretary Erick put a cup of coffee and a few slices of sandwiches on Erick's desk.

Erick looked up at a glance, then nodded.

"Thank you" said the man, looking back at his laptop screen.

"Nothing you need anymore?" ask the secretary again.

"No. Please continue with your work" Erick said again without moving on from his job.

"Good, sir." The secretary finally slightly bent her body, before then returned to her desk which was not far from Erick's desk.

Rima, a young secretary who has been working on all Erick's jobs for the past year. He resumed his work as Erick had asked, but occasionally his eyes seemed to glance at his superior. During Rima's time working for Erick, only this time she saw the man asking to prepare breakfast at the office. Normally, his wife would not let Erick eat food carelessly.

Who does not know that Erick is the husband of Lalita Baskara, the favorite daughter of the director and the owner of the hotel. Erick who has since married Lalita was appointed deputy director, of course transformed into the most respected figure as well. Not infrequently she became the target of seductresses who happened to also work at the hotel because of her position is only at the level under the main leadership. However, of course so far there is no scandal that ensnared Erick. All of that did not escape the role of Lalita is so great.

Among the hotel employees, Lalita is notoriously protective and jealous. Only Rima survived long enough to be Erick's secretary because he did not try to tempt his superiors. Previously, I do not know how many secretaries were dismissed because they were caught seducing Erick. Not only the secretary, but anyone who seems to have a bad attitude, will definitely be immediately removed by Lalita.

In fact, the director's favorite daughter was willing every day to come to the hotel to deliver her own lunch for Erick, so love him. That's why at this time Rima was a bit surprised to see Erick this morning breakfast in the office.

"Sir Erick," called Rima then after a while before she received an intercom call.

"Yes?" Again Erick replied without looking.

"The father was asked to come to the Director's room." Rima.

This time Erick raised his head, then was stunned for a moment. She did not usually ask him to come to her room.

"Said Mr. Arfan would discuss the results of a meeting of the hotel expansion plan the other day" added Rima again.

"Oh." Erick muttered in relief. For some reason, she felt unprepared that her in-laws were about to talk about Lalita. Erick himself had so many questions running through his mind about his wife, that he certainly had not figured out the answer.

"Sir Arfan says it now, sir." Rima reminded me again.

"Yes, okay." Erick slightly sighed, before then closing his laptop.

The man then got up and walked out of his study, and went to Arfan's study. He announced his arrival by knocking on the door first. It was only after being invited in that he went in there.

Erick was a little surprised to find Larisa also in the room, although in fact the presence of Larisa there is not something strange, considering Larisa also works at the hotel as the head of the planning division.

"Sit down first. There's something Papa wants to talk to both of you about" Arfan told Erick.

"Regarding the expansion plan of the hotel, we are not able to realize it in the near future. But Papa plans to build one more hotel branch in one of the cities whose tourism sector is growing rapidly." Arfan opened the conversation.

"Erick, this time Papa wants you to help Risa to make her plan. There are a few city lists. You analyze, which city is the most potential," added Arfan again. The man then took out some files, and gave them to Erick and Larisa.

"Learn it, then give your analysis to Papa."

"Good, Pa." Erick and Larisa answered almost simultaneously. They looked at each other, then seemed to throw their faces back with awkward expressions.

Erick himself did not understand why he did not feel happy when his in-laws ordered him to cooperate with Larisa. In fact, this kind of opportunity was what he had been looking for all this time. If in the future he and Larisa officially hold a project together, of course later they will travel more often together as well.

There is a disturbing feeling that Erick is currently feeling, although he also does not know what. What is clear, since leaving home in a state of not touching his breakfast earlier, the man's mind continues to lead to Lalita.

"That's all Papa wanted to tell you. Please come back and continue your work," Arfan said later, breaking Erick's mind.

"Good, Pa. Then, excuse me first." Larisa got up first and left Arfan's room, while Erick was immediately restrained as soon as he was about to get up.

"Is there anything else, Pa?" ask Erick.

"Yes. Papa just remembered, how is Lita now? Did something happen last night until she left the party?" asked Arfan while staring at Erick.

Highlight Arfan's eyes were so sharp, making Erick slightly hold his breath. Finally the question of Lalita came out of Arfan's mouth. Erick knew very well, behind Arfan's words that sounded quite casual, the middle-aged man was currently looking at him full of probing.

Arfan is the type of person who can do anything to destroy the person who makes his beloved daughter sad. If Erick is desperate to divorce his wife, especially for Larisa, then certainly Arfan will destroy her in a way that was never imagined before.

"Lita's fine, Pa. Nothing happened. He was just tired and decided to go straight home" said Erick finally after being silent for a while.

"If he is just tired, instead of being able to rest in a hotel room, there is no need to go straight home. Are you sure nothing bad happened?" ask Arfan again.

"No, Pa. Lita was just tired and wanted to rest comfortably at home, not for nothing." Erick's lying. Though in fact, he also did not know the reason Lalita rushed home last night.

Arfan looks to breathe.

"I hope it's like that, Erick," he murmured.

"I hope you don't do something that makes Lita sad, let alone shed tears. You must remember, the reason why I raised your position to the present height, is because I want you to have the ability to make my daughter happy. Never hurt her even if it's just a fingernail. If he's unhappy, I'll make sure you go back to where you came from, certainly in a worse state than when I brought you first." Arfan reminded with a non-joking tone.
