The Childish And The Beast
#37 Anger and Sadness
Who would have thought, the riot in front of the building really lifted people from focus for their work. The crowd looked wild. Like they're ready to scratch anyone in the building.
Pancarona, never felt this way before. Although he was young and had many weaknesses, this seemed impossible.
Fortunately, the main problem has been calmed down. The commotion eventually retreated with Daffa himself intervening. A bit of assertiveness from the concerned apparatus, these people seem not to want to be the perpetrators.
The employees can breathe, for now. Fares who was still there felt the law would act not as expected. Adira understands that.
And at the moment he is very angry.
“Sorry, sorry ma'am. Mr. Danwar cannot be reached⏤”
“Contact again!” Adira was still standing straight behind her chair.
“Good!”
Daffa who felt that tension really did not say a sentence.
Until Fares expressed his opinion, “You can't just be angry. Find a way first so that your clients do not strike back. If you want to sue, we have to move first.”
“How to sue a runaway person?!”
“It's an easy affair if your demands are met by law,” firmly Fares voice is not swayed by Adira's anger.
The more serious atmosphere than before was clearly visible. Especially after Fares is standing from the sofa.
“For now I will look for proof. If Pancarona there is no relationship about cooperation with one side, Mr. Danwar. Problems can be solved more easily. But I can't guarantee you'll come out without any impact. He's still your side.”
Adira was most afraid of it. This is a company that cannot stand without its own funds.
However it is better than the collapse of everything, “Please do your best. I'll pay anything.”
“Don't think about that. Just think of a way.., maybe your party can make a deal that does not bring law. The green table can be wilder than you think,” Fares runs with its files.
Dira calms himself a little, “We will think of the way.”
He left by leaving these three men. When Adira took a deep breath to calm down. The female employee and Daffa chose silence and continued the chaotic drafting of Danwar's project.
Adira's thoughts dragged on. He thought of the worst-case scenario for Pancarona. Something he doesn't want to touch with his hands.
The phone sounded to Adira. He was not excited about the incoming chat but he still opened it.
Hm?
[You can get through this! If there's anything I need to help you with, just say it. The spirit!]
That's... The nanda?
That person must have gotten some news from the atmosphere of Pancarona. But Nanda knew, this woman was strong and could deal with it. That sentence really said that the man was next to Adira.
There is no other word to describe Adira's reaction. He was clearly calmer.
But another message upsets Adira. A message he didn't think would stab him right in the face. Come with a share location address below it.
[I heard Danwar sent you a gift. What if I help you? At seven I'll meet.]
...◇ ◈ ◇ ◈ ◇ ◈ ◇ ◈ ◇...
Dining house as well as coworking space. It's so beautiful to visit.
It was too beautiful to be in the man's hands. Adira does not like the fact that she has to set foot into the property of her former lover.
“Dira!” Viren waved his hand, “Here.”
This woman did not respond to her smile, walking over unconcernedly.
“Please sit.”
Adira still did not like the situation he was in. His face was shrunk as if a raging bear.
While this man waved to the waiter there, “Fine coffee, for this fine lady.”
“No need,” Adira says it firmly, “Say what do you want this time?”
“Stretch to the point?” he enjoys his hot Doppio, “I think we're here to have a little fun.”
“How did you know about Danwar?”
“What do you plan to do until you order Danwar to foil so many projects?”
“Oh, you think I did it? I was right to hold Pancarona, but did not want him to collapse.”
“That's what I asked. Why are you doing that?” Adira dumped her face, “Do not dodge. You brought me to your place, so you can talk freely without anyone having a track record.”
“Of course I don't want your lawyer interrupting our date.”
Adira didn't talk at all. But his sharp gaze threw out all the sentences. Make this Viren vibrate, and spirit in one moment.
“The. Your eyes are always interesting. Sardonic... Passionate.”
The silence brought the servant with his cup of coffee. Without speaking, he placed the coffee on Adira's front desk. His thin smoke billows did not disturb Adira's straight gaze.
“I want to help you,” Viren sipped his coffee again, “If we cooperate, want clients as strong as anything, everything can be overcome.”
“And paid with...?”
Viren acknowledges Adira's sensitivity. His speech continued, “Taruna. Then I give you all the lost capital.”
First, screw up Pancarona's chance. Second, sabotage the progress of the cadets. And lastly, this? Destroying slowly from within Pancarona and making Adira surrender?
What else is going to come out from behind this wolf fur?
It's not the time to let out feelings, is it, Adira?
“Only Midshipmen?”
Viren smiled, “Ya, that's all. Cooperation that is not related at all right?”
Adira, with great confidence wanted to reject him. Taruna is the main project that brings Pancarona to life in its present state. It is better that he withholds food to the limits of human ability than that he should give up what he builds.
Plus, who would believe that this guy would stop there?
But back again. Everything Danwar did was devastating to Pancarona. Looks in the future⏤although when everything is cleaned⏤pancarona state is still a loss.
Those funds must go other than to prop up the project capital. Architects and their friends need to be paid for their services.
Personal money? Maybe they can hold them. For a long time? Not likely.
What should Adira do?
“How?” Viren was very satisfied with the circumstances, though,
“I..., i...”.
“Do you need time? But there's no time, right?”
Adira. For Panca, for the people he was responsible for. His face was firm as if he wanted to cry.
“I⏤”
BRACKET!
“Definitely, no!”
Adira riveted. Between the two, this person's hand rattled the cafe table for a moment.
“Listen yes, ticks, we don't want any business!”
Open Adira's mouth unexpectedly, Nanda was already standing with one hand propping up in the middle of the round table.
“You again...?!” Viren did not welcome him with pleasure. His smile seemed to turn around, “Ngapain you are here?!”
“Emm.... Keep the possessive ex away from his beloved Panca boss? What do you think?!”
“This is beyond your capabilities. Boss Panca and boss Abinaya want to talk four points!” Viren smiled at Adira, “This sweet woman already wants to cooperate with me! You have no right to say anything else!”
Nanda could not smile. He was fed up with even just dealing with the man. Especially with a repeated stale sentence!
“Ananda?!”
Not extended anymore. Nanda pulled out Adira's full cup of coffee and poured it over to Viren.
