THE PROMISE
CHAPTER 78. BUSINESS BANQUET

Clarissa who actually planned to go find the Empress the next day to visit Natasha immediately put on a sullen face after hearing her husband's words.

“My husband, but he is...”.

“Shut! There are some things that are worth saying and some that are not worth saying! I think your brain is badly damaged! In the next few days I'm gonna sleep in the reading room, you're not allowed to go anywhere. So don't try to wander off. I'll ask someone to keep an eye on you so you don't try to find that useless son of a bitch!”

Clarissa clenched her hands together and tried to hold back her emosin. She began to think about taking over Hilman Corp as she grew more and more unable to stand her husband's attitude. Anastasya who looked at Clarissa's face which looked furious at holding back her anger also sneered in her heart. Clarissa is really good at hiding her emotions.

If only Natasha could be as patient as Clarissa, there is a possibility Anastasya will not be able to expel Natasha easily. “Papa, when did you leave?” anastasya asked in a soft voice as if intentionally urging the man.

Danendra immediately recovered from his anger and said, “Supir is waiting, you leave now. Papa won't send you out but you have to be careful. If you really can't, then hurry home. Papa won't blame you.”

Actually he also did not want Anastasya to climb into the bed of a man. If Kenneth gets entangled with his plans this time around and the news is spread out then he will lose an incredible daughter. But he has no choice anymore, his company is really in big trouble and he has to do this.

Anastasya walked away waving his hand, slowly disappearing into the darkness of the night.

Danendra who saw the back of Anastasya who walked out suddenly felt like he had lost something very valuable. But he quickly calmed his heart and chuckled softly while reproaching himself. Is it with age that he has more emotional feelings?

There is a saying that danger cannot be faced without risk. And in order to save his company then inevitably he had to make this decision. And she was grateful that her daughter Anastasya was a good child and did not blame her. Then Danendra walked up to the top floor with satisfaction and sat in his reading room waiting for the good news.

When Anastasya went outside, Clarissa was in her room upstairs. He immediately investigated what Anastasya was trying to do by going out at night. He calls his lover Xavier and finds out everything. “Wah, really hard to believe. I thought Danendra loved him but it seems that he just thinks Anastasya is like a chess piece that he can use to jump and grab his wish.” Clarissa laughed funny.

“You can still laugh? You can still think like that! Don't you think the ****** has blocked your path? If he really gets on top of Kenneth's bed then it will have a bad impact on us. We will face more and more obstacles and also most likely we both will..” Xavier spoke in an anxious tone.

“Take it easy! That's not all gonna happen. Although Danendra is very clever, he is also stupid! He didn't even investigate what Kenneth was really like. Kenneth's status was enough for him to play with all the women but have you ever heard of a scandal involving him?”

“No. I never saw him get involved in a scandal.” replied Xavier.

“Well that's it! Kenneth plays very clean and no matter how pretty Anastasya is, he will never play with a woman who turns herself in for granted. Even when on the plane at that time his attitude to Anastasya was very cold, said Clarissa while holding the phone between her ears and shoulders while playing her finger shave.

“But....” Xavier was still feeling anxious. “But this afternoon you told me that the little ****** has teamed up with Kenneth to get Natasha kicked out of town by danendra for self-introspection? Don't you think Kenneth is interested in the ***** it.”

“Alright if you are sure of it.”

“I told you, you don't have to worry about this anymore. As soon as you have to find a suitable man, if Kenenth remembers the help that Anastasya once gave and ignores this problem then we still have other ways to damage his reputation.”

“Ok I understand. I'll be looking for a suitable man for that.” soon

After the phone call ended, Clarissa's mood turned more calm and relieved. The night is getting late and the night life in the city is getting crowded. Meanwhile, in the dance hall of the Grand International hotel, a group of officials gathered around Kenneth to eat and drink. Everyone smiled and flattered him as they hoped to get cooperation on the new project from Archilles Corp.

Kenneth sat down with his long legs crossed, he swung the glass filled with red wine, he was seen sitting relaxed and indifferent. From the very beginning of the banquet he had only been silent and preoccupied with his own thoughts. The light of the lamp shining on his face made him even more handsome like a Greek god. Even though he was just silent without saying a word yet he still looked like a star of brilliance in the sky which made him not easily ignored by everyone.

When the men saw Kenneth's expression, they began to whisper. “What really happened with Kenneth today? Since then he had just been silent not saying anything.Did he feel unhappy about this banquet? Is there anything that makes him dissatisfied?”

“Do you not know that he does not like to talk much. Maybe he's in a bad mood today.”

“Eh, has the person I mean been delivered?” said a guest.

“I just contacted, said he was already in front of the hotel.”

“But--what do you think this won't be a problem? Some people also gave ‘gift’ to Young Master Archilles before but eventually they were scolded.”

“Don't worry, this time Hilman Corp sent his own daughter here as a gift.”

“Natasha? Although she looked like a good girl and was famous among socialites but there was no way she could make Young Master Archilles would be interested in her.”

“Not! This is not Natasha but the other one.I've seen her picture and I'm very sure this time it will work.”.

“Try to show me the photos! Let this experienced old man take a look at it for a moment. I wonder what kind of woman Kenneth is capable of.”

The man was just about to grab the phone from his pocket when Kenneth suddenly got up. Some people looked surprised and did not dare to whisper anymore. The atmosphere at the banquet changed instantly.
