The Missing SOFIA
Bab~63

"Sofia, where have you been ?"

Sofia who saw Aril's presence immediately stepped behind Adams' back hoping that the man would protect him, really she no longer wanted to be in touch with the CEO.

Seeing Sofia reluctant to meet with its CEO, Adams immediately put on a body. "He doesn't want to talk to you, Ar" she said as Aril tried to approach her.

"Adams, move aside have you forgotten who I am ?" furious Aril looked at his subordinate.

"In the office you are my boss Ar, but outside our position is the same and I warn you to stay away from Sofia !!" adam was protecting the girl.

"Sofia, did you forget about the employment agreement? You have to pay compensation if you break it." said Aril hopes the girl remembers it because only with that agreement can she keep him by her side.

"I don't have any money, if I have one I promise I'll replace it." Sofia said.

"What's your agreement, Sofia ?" Adams who had heard their conversation seemed clueless.

"The story is long, the point is I have to pay a year of my salary if I suddenly resign." said Sofia who suddenly made Adams look furious.

"You and your future father-in-law are totally outrageous, Ar. You guys used to just threaten Sofia, now tell me how much do I have to replace her ?" then Adam said.

"No need, Adams." declined Sofia, again he did not want to owe the man. But it seems Adams did not listen to him and now it appears to send some money to Aril.

"Is this enough ?" he said while showing the nominal numbers there.

"That's more than enough and you shouldn't have done that" Sofia said in a protest.

Aril who felt contemptible seemed to clench his hands, if only the father of the man was not good friends with his father maybe he had beaten him.

"From now on don't bother Sofia anymore, let her live quietly without feeling threatened." Adams said, immediately taking Sofia away from there.

"Damn !!" as Aril said, he was actually made dead by the lice by the young man.

He admitted it was wrong to have trapped the girl in his game, but that was all he could do because from the beginning Sofia had hated him so much.

"What does Adam mean? has Uncle James done anything to Sofia ?" he murmured as he remembered the man's words.

"It looks like I have to find out soon." he added, staring at Sofia's departure.

"I didn't expect you to be that brave to her" Sofia said after the car that drove her left the hospital.

"We know since childhood because our parents were friends." said Adams who immediately made Sofia stunned to look at him.

"But you are very different from him" he said later, although they are both rich people but Adams is simpler and very different from the CEO who is very arrogant and.....

Arriving to take Sofia to the countryside Adams back home, because there are still many jobs waiting for him.

"You'll stay safe here, rest and don't work anymore" he said before the man returned home.

"Thank you Adams, I must somehow repay your kindness." said Sofia who felt grateful to know the man.

Adam looked fixedly at the girl in front of him, since the first meeting he was already interested in her. But he did not want to rush to express his feelings, he wanted the girl to feel comfortable with him first.

"Don't think about it, all right I have to go back to Sofia." Adams later said.

The next night James appeared to arrive at his residence with his tired face, at the age of 46 years should the man began to reduce his work just that he did not have a son who could replace him.

While 19-year-old Jessica is too spoiled for her to give a big responsibility to make her inevitably have to work hard alone.

For that he hopes his daughter will soon marry Aril so that some of his company can be managed by the man considering he built several companies together with William.

"I've prepared you warm water" said Anne when she saw her husband appear to throw his weight on the sofa, then release some buttons shirt.

"I bring news for you whether it's good news or bad news for you" said James and suddenly made Anne who was pouring water directly staring at him.

"What news ?" he said he then filled the glass in his hand with water and gave it to the man.

James seemed to finish it and put his glass on the table before returning to his voice. "I got word that Marco was gone" he said, which immediately made Anne appear to widen her eyes in surprise.

However Marco used to be, the man never behaved badly to him and he was completely shocked at the moment. It has been a dozen years since he met the man, precisely since his daughter disappeared.

She and her husband had indeed suspected the man but his figure was really like in the swallow of the earth. "Then what about our daughter, isn't she the only lead? Marco couldn't have simply disappeared leaving his luxury if it weren't for something very important" he said.

"Marco loved Jeslin so much, I'm sure that behind his disappearance there must have been a man's intervention" he added, in frustration, his tears began to flow down his cheeks.

She's a mother and mother who doesn't think about her daughter even though she's been missing for years.

"Calm down, I'll find our daughter again until we meet." James immediately calmed his wife, he also lost his daughter even to smile he was not able to do it.

Somehow her daughter is doing now, is she okay? how does it look ? because when she disappeared, her daughter was still so small and now 18 years have passed and the girl is now 20 years old.

On the other hand, Jessica who had just returned home was seen leaning against the wall listening to the conversation of the two parents secretly, somehow he was so envious of his missing brother because it was so loved by his father.

While he was always around him but as invisible to the man, he was eager to be familiar with his father but in fact a distance seemed to separate them.

He wanted to be spoiled and hugged her but the cold nature of the man made her afraid to do so and did not feel suddenly tears seemed to fill her eyes but the girl immediately rubbed it before actually falling wetting cheeks.
