The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 142

Erick walked for sure, with his shoulders straight and chest puffed up. After getting support from Elena and getting news of her father's condition getting better, making her spirit as if to grow back and become confident to face internal problems in the company, even though she knows it will not be easy, but at least as the wife said, she will try and fight hard.

"Dad, Erick's current company situation is really chaotic, Erickson needs our support, I'm sure with daddy's help this will definitely be very useful for his problems" Clarissa told her father.

Now after a long time, Clarissa set foot again in her father's office, after their last chat became a heated debate, the relationship he and the father seemed distant. Namu n at this time he put aside his sense of prestige to meet first, for the sake of one goal, which is to help Erick who is in trouble.

Ck! Edward clucked, the man whose hair had begun to whiten was standing from his sitting throne.

"Why should I care so much about his problems? don't you remember when he treated us on your engagement day, huh?!" the man begged his daughter who was currently pleading.

"Go Clar. take care of yourself, all this time daddy has been kind enough to free you without any more restraints, do not ask for more things, but, because at any time daddy doesn't want to deal with the Davidson family anymore."

Clarissa grunting. "Oh come on dad, come on, can't you just forget it? it's all over."

"No!" Edward, who had initially turned his back to his daughter, turned around with a beavering face.

"For me self-esteem is the most important and must be held in high esteem. But Erick and Rey destroyed all my pride when they publicly humiliated our family during your engagement. How could daddy forget about her!"

"But dad ... " Clarissa is still trying to persuade.

"Once no, yes no!" edward told the princess.

Clarissa sighed, tired. He then nodded his head.

"All right, I'm not gonna push anymore. Maybe your pain made you unable to apologize to the young man. But remember this one thing dad. Since daddy and uncle Rey have been close friends, I hope so even now. Daddy may have forgotten about it, so I remind you not for anything but merely to open your eyes. Long ago, decades ago, did daddy remember? at that time your company was on the verge of collapse, so we had to return to Canada for you to restart the heyday. And at that time who was the most supportive? ... "

Edward was still unmoved with arrogance in his heart.

"Uncle Rey, right? I remember when daddy was so, so grateful for his help, I didn't want to bring back the kindness that happened decades ago, but I want daddy to try to reflect and understand what I'm saying,"

"Right now what happened to you decades ago happened to Erickson. Those investors want to get Erickson out of his position, no one helps everyone who's ever helped Erick betray him. Can you imagine your position decades ago now also felt Erick. With the help of daddy it is who can save Erick's current crisis position, especially Erick is currently alone because uncle Rey can not be beside him.

Edward rounded his eyes, he looked at his daughter.

"Where is Rey now?"

"Uncle Rey is in the hospital. He had an accident."

"What?!" Edward was surprised.

"R-Rey's accident?"

"Yes dad. And at this time Erickson needs our support, please daddy, help Erick."

...---------oo------...

The atmosphere in the company is getting hotter. Many higher-ups disagreed with the idea that Erick had, but they still wanted Erick to follow their advice to sell most of the shares to investors they had recommended and agreed to,but by so unable to maintain its position in the check, while it is the only way to pay losses due to Sarah who made illegal stock trading transactions.

Erick remained on defense and his stance, until finally the conference was forced to be delayed first until lunchtime.

In his room, Erick was still struggling in front of the laptop and the pile of paper in front of him.

Zidan suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in" Erick said without turning his eyes towards the door.

"Good day, sir. Someone wants to see you" Zidan said.

"Who?" erick asked, curious at last he turned his attention.

****

The atmosphere in the executive cafeteria was quiet, Erick deliberately asked for them to sit at the end of the table, so that no one would hear their chat.

Nah! Erick put the new cup of tea in half, on top of the ceramic cup.

"What are you guys meeting me for?" asked Erick to the point, he did not want to waste time because lunch was fifteen minutes left and there was still much to do.

"What's your word, don't know if we're going to have good intentions?" edward's half-whole still harbored a resentful feeling towards Erick. After the failed engagement of Erick and his daughter, Edward never met the man again, until now they finally reunited after a long time.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know the good intentions you're about to express, and I don't have much time" Erick concluded, slightly offended by the poignant tone of his father's friend.

"Ahaha, this is Erickson ... " Clarissa interjected not wanting until there was a commotion between them.

"We came here, there was a purpose and a purpose" Clarissa said later.

"What's that?" erick asked now began to soften.

"My Daddy intends to help fix the internal problems that are going on in your company. Dad, say something," Clarissa asked her father.

Ekhem! Edward cleared his throat quite loudly before letting out his voice.

"Look, Clarissa has explained what's going on with your company. Considering me and your father are good friends, I intend to help you."

"That's not necessary" said Erick. "I can handle it myself."

Edward snorted. "It's so arrogant of you. Don't you know for your sake Clarissa's begging me to help you!"

"That's the point. I can't believe you'd easily offer to help with a plea from Clarissa and it turns out that my guess is correct. I can't accept his help if it's not directly from your will."

"Bad!" Edward was angry, he stood up from his seat.

"You look at Clar, how good this kid is. Free to give her a hand, we better go."

"Wait dad. Let me get to Erickson first. Please calm yourself."

Edward held back his anger the man was willing to sit back. While Clarissa pulled Erick to have a four-eye talk with her.

***

"I beg Erickson. Put your ego down first."

"What do you mean, Clar?!" Erick can't take it like that.

"Do you know how I've been dealing with your dad lately? if indeed he wants to help but there is no intention from him directly, better not. It was as if I was begging for help."

"It's not so, you misinterpreted." Clarissa held Erick's hand.

"Try to understand it first. I told him everything that was going on with my father, at first after I tried hard to persuade him to still refuse to help you, but after hearing that Uncle Rey had an accident. My father could not ignore the company that became his best friend's big dream, especially my father still remember the kindness of uncle Rey when our company was in financial crisis and going bankrupt, especially when our company was going bankrupt, your father was the first to support and help my father until finally our company rose and could be as big as it is now."

"So it's not that I persuaded him my father wanted to help but that was solely because of his friendship with Rey's uncle and the debt he wanted to pay."

Erick turned his head after hearing Clarissa's long explanation.

The woman stared fixedly while nodding surely. "You want to accept our help?"
