THE PENANCE 2: THE PREGNANT
TP2 - 18

Haikal sat opposite Zega. The man smiled nervously. "I was so worried after I heard my artist got entangled in this matter. I don't want the case you're investigating to be bad for Aldio Fajar. If the public finds out about your investigation involving Dio, it'll definitely be a big scandal."

Zega folded his hands in front of his chest. "You went all the way to the police station just to vent? If there's no important information on the case, you better leave. I'm busy."

"Listen first, the scandal will do us a great disservice" Haikal said with a pleading expression.

Zega grieves. "You don't have to worry, Mr. Manager. Without this case even Aldio Fajar already has many haters."

Hearing that, Haikal looked restrained in anger. Zega was still staring at him. "It's over?"

"I know you're from the San family. And you also know that the owner of San Entertainment is Mr. San Rodriguez. If you involve the artist, then it will not only tarnish the good name of the San Rodriguez family, but also tarnish the good name of other San families, including San Bima," Haikal said.

Zega looked back at Haikal with a sharp look. "That sounds like you're threatening me. Look, actually I can call San Rodriguez and ask him for help to open Aldio Fajar's mouth. But, I'm running out of pulses. In addition, San Rodriguez will definitely bring out the actor before his company's good name is tainted. San Rodriguez won't defend the nira that can damage milk in a container."

Haikal.

Zega leaned his back against the chair. He saw both hands in front of his chest. "Will you threaten me? You're gathering important information about my life history. You should have known I was in law. I wanted to be a lawyer or a prosecutor, but it turns out I'm good at hitting. I'm better suited to being a cop. I can't use my fist if I'm a lawyer."

Haikal snorted in annoyance.

"Why are you so protective of Aldio Fajar? You look so defensive. It makes me even more suspicious. It means he's the killer. If you help the police investigate this case, you won't be dragged away by it" Zega said.

Haikal pointed to himself. "You suspect me too? I'm not involved in anything. I don't know anything."

"By taking part in covering up someone's crime, you can go to jail" Zega said.

"Now you're threatening me?" Haikal looked upset.

Zega's voice rang out to the outside of the room. Arghi, Marla, and Bayu turned to Zega's room.

"Did he provoke Senior Zega's anger?" Marla Whisper.

"He's in big trouble. Senior Zega will not forgive him," whispered Bayu.

"You're gonna bribe me?! You think I'm Septiawan?! Get out of my room!"

The three policemen were shocked to hear Zega's scream. They saw Haikal coming out of Zega's room with an annoyed expression.

Zega came out of his room. Marla, Arghi, and Bayu soon return to work.

"What does he think I am? I have a lot of money, I don't need bribes! Crazy bastard," maki Zega. The woman looked at her three subordinates who seemed so focused on working. He snorted while returning to his room.

The three policemen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manager Dio must have asked for Senior Zega's salary. Therefore, Senior Zega was furious," whispered Marla.

Arghi and Bayu nodded.
