The Destiny
Friends or Enemies

After finishing dinner with the Ray— family Ana went straight back to her room. The girl was seen busying herself by checking her restaurant report.

Geck. Geck. Tok

Ana looked at the door of her room, she walked up and opened the door, and there stood a man smiling at her.

"Hi."

Ana scrunched her forehead,

Who is this foreign man? - Inner Ana.

"Who are you?" Ask Ana without further ado.

The man chuckled, though,

"Ah sister-in-law, don't you recognize me? I'm Alex, Ray's brother."

"Oh—'s other sister Ray's mother."

"Wah— your mouth is cruel, yes, but it is true. Sometimes I'm confused, whether I'm his real sister or not, we just have the same blood."

Ana smiled stiffly,

"Aaa— so yes."

"It seems I'm telling you something that doesn't interest you."

"Ah no, you misunderstood."

"Then may I come in and tell you interesting things?"

Ana is silent,

Letting a foreign man into my room— is it okay? Ah whatever. After all, she is my sister-in-law. — Inner Ana.

"Come in."

Ana opens the door wide, she does it to avoid slander, she could later be accused of doing something with her sister-in-law if she closes the door. Therefore, Ana took precautions.

"Sister Ray told sister-in-law to sleep separately with him— does sister-in-law not feel sad?"

"sad? Sure enough, I was so happy he told me to sleep separately with him. Ah yes, don't call me brother-in-law, I know you're older than me."

"Lalu— what do you want me to call you? Miss Keana or Miss Ana"

Ana laughed a little at that, hearing it,

"Call me Ana."

Their conversation continues, Ana who initially feels awkward, now she starts laughing in front of Alex, because the man just keeps telling her some funny things for Ana.

In another room, in that house— Ray is still preoccupied with the company's affairs that are chaotic, the stock index of his company lately is unstable.

All because of the problem of smart vacum cleaner projects designed by his company in recent months suddenly claimed by other companies.

He's still figuring out the mastermind behind all this mess. Actually he wanted to accuse his mother's other brother, but there was no hard evidence for that.

Ray sighed again, he massaged his temple, his head felt heavy.

Geck. Geck. Tok

"Lake in."

Yohan entered with a map in her hand,

"This is a list of the names of the staff, directors and managers who participated in the project, sir."

Ray looked at Yohan fixedly, looking at the man, he recalled the words of Yuna's secretary last afternoon.

Flashback on~

During the day at the office, her secretary came to bring her a brown envelope. Ray frowned, confused.

"On the 10th, the night before Ussa's company claimed the project, there were people who saw Yohan's assistant and director Oris Buana meet with Ussa's daughter."

"You mean, you suspect Yohan's assistant and my uncle?" Ray asked his secretary.

"Yes the president."

Flashback off~

Ray sighed, after recalling the words of Yuna's secretary that disturbed his mind, he looked at Yohan who was standing before him.

In her small heart she wanted to deny all the photos that were on the envelope, let alone Yohan already like a brother to her, and director Oris was her own maternal uncle.

Is it possible that they could commit treason behind my back? — Inner Ray.

"Sir." Calling Yohan, he felt astonished by his master who was just silently daydreaming.

"Yohan, what were you doing at night on the last ten?"

Yohan was silent for a moment, the man seemed to remember her.

"I met with the director of Oris, sir."

"What did you see my uncle for?"

"Did my uncle bring my aunt too?" Actually it was a trick question, he wanted to know if Yohan would tell him if Ussa's daughter was with them at the time.

"No sir, it's just the two of us."

Ray closed his eyes for a moment, that was not the answer he wanted to hear, if it was like this, he would be increasingly suspicious of Yohan's assistant and his uncle.

"Make a dinner appointment with my uncle tomorrow night, I want to introduce Ana directly to him." Said Ray.

"Good sir."

"Did Rifano's director say something or admit something?"

Yohan shook her head, though,

"Not yet sir."

"no need. You can go now."

"Okay sir, I'm sorry." Pamphitt.

Yohan walks out of Ray's study, walking through Ana's room next to her master's office.

Assistant Yohan looked at Ana who seemed to be laughing cheerfully with Alex, the two people looked very familiar with each other.

Ana turned to the door when she felt someone watching her. The girl saw Yohan standing there. But then, Yohan is seen stepping away from there.

"He was always like that. Even sometimes I feel like he's such a delicate being, his footsteps are not heard while walking." Said Alex in his little joke.

Ana shuddered in horror, then laughed in response to the joke from Alex.

"What are you laughing at?! You seem to be very happy to be with him!" That voice, it was not Alex who said it, Ana turned to the source of the voice.

There Ray stood, the man standing at the door of his room, staring at him like he was this afternoon, angry.

"She must have misunderstood, I'm leaving." Whispering Alex to Ana, the man then stood up and was about to walk away. But, Ana suddenly held back Alex's hand.

"Just ignore him." Ana's words were clearly heard by Ray.

"How dare you! Come here!"

Ana pretends not to hear it, but,

"Alex, did you hear a dog barking? His voice hurt my ears."

Alex grimaced to see Ana who dared to ignore Ray, even her mother did not dare to behave like that to her brother.

"Dad!" Call Ray.

"Ana— you'd better follow her wishes." Whisper Alex, but the girl still doesn't seem to care.

An irritated Ray walks towards Ana and drags the girl into her room.

"Why do you like to attract me so much?!" Ana said as she and Ray were already inside the man's room.

Ray just silently looked at him sharply. Ana averted her eyes, she was being stared at like that.

"You're trying to cheat in front of me?!" Jerky Ray.

"Alright, next time I'll cheat behind your back." Said Ana with her slanted smile.

Ray clenched his hands furiously, he slammed both hands against the wall behind Ana.

Ana looked shocked. Now, he's locked in Ray's hands. The man took one step forward removing the distance between them.

Ana turned her eyes back, though,

"What would you like?" Ana asked with a nervous tone.

"I don't think I educated you properly." Ray said as he brought his face closer to the girl.

Seeing Ray getting closer to her face, Ana had no other choice, the girl moved her hand, then pushed Ray's face away from her.

"You!"

In one move, Ray lifts Ana's body and throws her on the bed.

Ana tries to escape, but Ray gets on the bed and locks the girl's movements. Ray hugged Ana's body like he was hugging a roll.

"Foolishly! You can kill me!" Peeking Ana, but the man even more tightened his hold.

An emergency idea popped into Ana's mind, the girl biting into Ray's arm that was still holding her very tightly.

It made Ray scream in pain and immediately took off his embrace.

"Aaww— is sick fool!" Ray said as he pushed Ana's head away from her arm.

"Isn't that time— I told you. You have to remember, I'm a mad dog. So, don't try to bother me again." Said Ana who then ran out of Ray's room. But, before she actually came out of the room, the girl seemed to turn around to say something to Ray.

"Be careful rabies!" Ana's cry was accompanied by her satisfied laughter. After that, he again walked out and closed the door of the room loudly.

Ray snorted angrily at Ana who had already come out of his room. Then then, the man again blew his arm that felt throbbing and sore.

But even though he got such treatment from Ana, instead of being angry, he smiled and laughed.

"I don't think I picked him wrong as my pet. Her behavior it— very strange and adorable." Mumbled Ray.
