It was very late at night, Ana had just returned from her restaurant, she was tired all over her body, the girl stepped inside the house. However, when his feet had just stepped into the living room, there was a sound of commotion from the direction of the living room.
Ana sighed for a moment, she would try to ignore the commotion, it was better for her to interfere.
The girl then returned to her feet, she continued walking towards the stairs not far from the family room.
"Ana" called her father, making Ana undo her intention to climb the stairs, she turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Ask Ana.
"Cabin." Pinta the father.
Ana steps lethargic toward her father who is standing near her stepmother, she is very lazy to be in one place with her loving stepmother.
"What?" Ask Ana again.
"Yes my. Look at this kid, do you not care at all about your father's current department store?! You didn't even do anything." Said his stepmother while looking at him with a cynical look.
Ana just kept quiet no matter what the stepmother said, she turned her eyes back on the father.
"Daddy— what did you forget? Yesterday night Ana told dad. Ana will help father's company with Ana's savings."
"Ana, if you only rely on your savings and income from your restaurant, it will not suffice everything. You take it easy, we've found a way out." Said Rio, the stepbrother.
"Have found a way out? This fast? You're not being cheated anymore, are you?! Kak— you must remember! dad's department store went down like this because of your stupidity, which was easily fooled by fake investors." Said Ana.
"Let's! It's so bad to talk to your sister like that." Snapped his stepmother. But, Ana just kept quiet disregarding.
"This time it's not a small or fake company that's our investor." His father began to explain to Ana.
"Then what kind of company wants to help the department store that is already empty of buyers? Even mid-level companies will think twice." Said Ana.
"You take it easy Ana, the company that will help us is a company that has a big influence in the business world, TNP group, they will be the main investor of our family department store company." Rio.
Our family department store? He thinks— now the company is already his? Just yummy! that's my family's company, damn it!
Uh, wait— he said what was that? TNP group became the main investor of the company that almost became this dust? Is that true?!
Ana shows her surprised face when she realizes the name of the big company is called by her stepbrother.
"You kidding? Such a company is unlikely to want to do it, don't joke." Ana still doesn't believe.
"He's serious Ana, they'll be the main investor of our family company, but— "
"But what is dad? I'm sure such companies can't easily provide capital without a huge profit for them. They must have made terms or something of the sort, tell me dad, is that right?" Ana shook her father's arm. Farhan - his father again sighed heavily.
"That's what we're discussing, the terms of her CEO, she wants Rachel to marry him. But— you take it easy, the CEO of the company is not an old man or a family, he's the same age as big brother." Rio.
Calm down? Calm your head! How could it be that just by getting married he would help the company of the father. Is the business world like a game? Very illogical*. — Thought Ana.
"But the marriage was just to cover up the gossip about Mr. Ray being said to be gay. Rachel will only get the status as a wife in the public eye, while for Mr. Raymond she will only be— "Rionardo hanging his words, he actually felt unhappy with these conditions. Because, after all, Rachel is his biological sister, he does not want his sister's life to be so miserable because of this marriage.
"Become what?" asked Ana who was still staring at her stepbrother.
"Being a toy for Mr. Raymond" Rachel reconnects her brother's words without feeling the slightest bit sad, she instead looks happy with what will happen to her later.
"You crazy?! No no, you have to cancel the deal." Ana.
"Hey, you think it's that easy to cancel?! After all, Rio and I have been struggling to get it and you easily told us to cancel the deal, it won't happen." Rachel said with a cynical smile towards Ana.
"After all, if we cancel it, it's the same we're playing Mr. Raymond, if he's offended we could destroy Ana." Said Rio who kept trying to make Ana able to understand the current situation.
"Sir Ana, I proposed the suggestion to Mr. Raymond. I asked him to make me his wife. You don't know, do you? How lucky am I to be married to Raymond Yuan Gavin? Even if it's just being a doll and a toy, it's not a problem for me."
Ana looks at Rachel in disbelief, she's possessed by a demon huh? Really no sane. — Thought Ana.
"You're too innocent for something like that, after all, it's just like diving while drinking water." Said her stepmother who was helping Rachel to argue with Ana. The middle-aged woman did not even look sad at all, when her biological child would become someone else's toy, she looked so relaxed.
Ana could not speak anymore with the thoughts of the two women in blood, they were truly a mother and child who were both crazy.
"After all don't pretend to worry about me, don't you hate me so much? So— doesn't have to interfere with my personal affairs. I'll marry whom it's none of your business."
It's also true that Rachel said that marrying anyone is none of my business, why should I worry about her? Come on Ana, it's none of your business. But— the problem is not that! This also concerns my family's self-esteem. If Rachel behaves like that, it's like this family gave birth to a lowly seed. I don't want to.
Ana seemed to be in a state of turmoil with her mind, appearing to be repeatedly exhaling in annoyance.
"All you guys are. I've reminded you guys— and especially you Rachel, don't act stupid, take care of the family's good name. I don't want my family name to be low because of you." Said Ana who began to give up on this debate.
The girl then went from before them, she stepped up the stairs with an upset heart, went into her room, dropped herself on the bed, closed her eyes and tried to forget everything that happened.
•••
"Sir, everything you ordered has been resolved." Ray smiled with satisfaction.
"Good"
"Sir, are you sure you're going to marry that woman? If you just want to cover gossip—, don't you have to marry that woman? Or— I can find another woman who suits you." Said Yohan who was still continuing to seduce her master to cancel the terms of that madman.
"Yohan." Reymond turned his gaze to a painting of a lion hunting its prey.
"Do you know why the lion king in the painting only hunts one deer, while there are many other deer closer to it?" Ask Ray.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know"
"It's some kind of instinct or instinct."
"Are you interested in that woman?" Ask Yohan carefully. He hopes that Ray doesn't like lowly women like Rachel.
"Don't I tell you this is my instinct! I feel like something fun will happen if I follow the woman's will." Ray sounded very upset with Yohan who still did not understand him.
"I'm sorry sir, sorry for my stupidity."
"Forget that sorry. Nor would I love a cheap and lowly woman like her. Having one like that at home— makes me feel frustrated." Said Ray.
"I mean tuan— stepmother sir?"
"Don't call it mother's when there's no media and important business relationships. Don't you understand that yet?"
Yohan cursed her who continued to act stupid, she felt like she was not her usual self, but before she was very clever and never made her master angry or upset.
"Sorry sir"
"Forget it, ah yeah! Add to this agreement, if I as the first party is the king who must obey all his orders without exception, if they refuse then their department store will belong to the TNP group."
"Good sir"
"Use paper that is only visible when exposed to water and put it at the end of the agreement page, the letter of agreement, just tell that stupid woman that the page is just a blank piece of paper that will be filled out about her compensation in case of a divorce."
"Okay sir" replied Yohan who ended with a smile, she was grateful, it turned out that her master was not being fooled, but her master was looking for a good target to be his toy.
