The Second Ring
Chapter Two Four

Jassper was sitting quietly holding a glass of wine. He shook the glass slowly, then drank the wine. He smiled faintly, thinking of the news he had just received from his right hand.

"intriguing. So that hot-tempered beauty is getting married to my cousin, huh?" inner Jassper.

Jassper remembered Adelle's beautiful face. Even if you are angry. Jassper seems to be interested in Adelle.

He called his right hand. Asking her subordinates to buy flowers and send flowers to Adelle on her behalf.

"Send to Adelle's office, flowers in my name. Give me a large bouquet of flowers and a congratulatory note from me. Youunderstand?" jassper looked at his right hand.

"Understand, Sir. Excuse me," said the man who immediately left.

Jassper put the glass on the table. He folded his hands on his chest and leaned on the sofa. Not long Jasssper's phone rang. He got a call from Kenzo.

Jassper's smile fell down, as he looked at the screen of his phone. He saw the name "KJ" on his phone screen. Soon Jassper laughed like a madman.

"Mahaha .... "

"Ah, right. I have to take her call and congratulate her on getting married" Jassper said.

He swiped the green panel on the phone screen and spoke to Kenzo on the phone.

"Yes, Ken. What was? are you missing me?" ask Jassper tease Kenzo.

"Is that mess you made it? do you realize what you're doing? Crazyhead!" kenzo was angry.

"I'm crazy? nope, no. Precisely because my head and its contents are very healthy. I did that. Do you like it?" jassper said with a smile.

"I was wrong to ignore you. I should have cleaned you up from the start, Jassper, said Kenzo.

"You're right. You should have just killed me then. It's weird, why did you let me live, huh? I'm so grateful to you for the opportunity you gave me. Don't worry, my dear cousin. I will repay your kindness little by little. Hahaha .. "the word Jassper is full of hidden intent.

Jassper immediately ended the call from Kenzo. He smiled happily, hearing Kenzo's upset voice.

In his study, Kenzo looked at his cell phone in anger. He clasped his phone tightly as if he wanted to smash his phone.

"Damn! again he attacked me secretly." Kenzo's inner.

Kenzo immediately called his Assistant and Secretary and asked the two to come to his study immediately.

Assistant and Secretary Kenzo arrived. They stood in front of Kenzo. Both of them knew, what was the reason Kenzo called them. The assistant and the Secretary stared at each other.

"Julio, talk to the Secretary of HM Construction and LC Construction. Tell me I want to meet their President. I should be able to persuade one of the two to want to run a shopping center construction project. I didn't let Jassper ruin my plan to build Star Mall" Kenzo said with a dejected expression.

"Sir, sorry. It's not that I don't want to execute your orders. There were emails from the two construction companies and said they could no longer work with Star Group for some reason. The HM party immediately offered to be introduced to other construction companies, if it pleased." explained Julio conveying what happened

Kenzo ordered his Secretary to prepare the data of other constricting companies. Even though it was a medium-scale company, under two companies rejected his request.

Assistant and Secretary Kenzo left the room. Kenzo looks stressed. This time Jassper really tried to shake Kenzo's battle at all costs.

Star Mall's. It was Mama Kenzo's dream in life. Because there were not many investors who wanted to join, plus the difficulty of finding land for development. Star Mall project to be postponed.

After Mama and Papa were gone, Kenzo slowly but surely filled one by one the parts that Mama had not been able to do. Starting from land purchases, to investors. Kenzo got it all. Even the construction company that will accept the project has been held. All of a sudden, there was a problem. There are two investors who have withdrawn their investments. Kenzo tried to get investors back and succeeded. One problem is solved, a new problem arises. He heard that the construction company that will handle the project resigned for no reason. And one other construction company rejected cooperation for the same reason. All is not certain and as deliberately planned.

Kenzo finally knew what was going on. Jassper is behind it all. He did not want to see Kenzo successful, therefore he continued to tease and try hard to remove Kenzo from his position. Jassper did have the intention to seize what belonged to Kenzo from the beginning.

Adelle finished the meeting with her staff. Suddenly Secretary Adelle came with a bouquet of large-sized roses. Even because of its size, Secretary Adelle's face is not visible.

"Jessica .. Are you having a birthday? I remember it's not like it's your birthday, is it?" said Adelle.

The secretary hugged the large bouquet of roses and looked at Adelle, "Indeed not, Mom. Here's a delivery flower for Director Ma'am. The sender I don't know, please I read it myself. Is it possible that Mr Kenzo sent this? If so, I'm jealous" Jessica said.

Adelle took a greeting card attached to a bouquet of flowers. His greeting card is red with a heart shape.

When it was opened and read, Adelle was surprised. It wasn't Kenzo, it was Jassper who sent him flowers. On the card, it says congratulations.

"Mom, the flowers want to be taken home or .. "Jessica's words are cut by Adelle.

"Take it if you want. You don't want to throw it away. Don't show the flower in front of my eyes" said Adelle .

Jessica keget, "Eh, what does that mean? this beautiful flower why was it thrown away? if the Director doesn't want to, I'll just take it." Inner Jessica.

"Ah, yes, Ma. I'll get rid of it soon" said Jessica who left immediately.

Adelle sees her phone and calls Kenzo. His feet returned to his study.

***

In Adelle's study. Adelle and Kenzo talked on the phone. Adelle told Kenzo that she had gotten a flower delivery from Jassper with a greeting card that read "Congratulations" without any additional words and the name of the sender.

"What's? He did that?" ask Kenzo in shock.

"Yes, Ken. I'm surprised, I thought it was a flower from you. But I find it strange that from you you would give it to yourself without the help of a courier. My secretary took it and I asked her to take it if she wanted to. Otherwise I just have to throw it away. Is there something about that crazy guy?" ask Adelle.

"Later we will discuss this issue. Oh, ja. What will you eat this afternoon? There's a new menu at the hotel, would you like to try?" bargain Kenzo.

"Oh, huh? would, would. I'll go to the hotel, yeah. Let's just have lunch there." replied Adelle.

Call them both over. Adelle feels there is something strange about Kenzo, and intends to look for her later. Adelle hopes Kenzo will be okay.
