The Seed of the Cassanova
BSC 2'S

"Your schedule today is a meeting with Long Life Security at 10 and with Metana Bank at 2" said Shenina-secretary Rainero Sanches.

Rainero nodded in understanding without raising his face. It remains focused with a rectangular screen in front of it that shows numbers and graphs.

"Is there anything you need again, sir?" shenina asked after closing the screen of her tablet.

"No. Come outside!" said flat. That's what Rainero is like now. Everything really changed. Very different from Rainero a year ago.

"Good, sir. Then, excuse me." Said Shenina while bowing her body slightly as a sign of respect.

Shenina rushed out of her boss' room. On exiting, Shenina passed Axton who was walking while holding a map in her left hand. Shenina who slightly bowed her body towards Axton who was the number two person in the company. Axton's attitude is not much different from Rainero, but he still has a friendly side to the people around him.

"You've always been too formal, Shen," Axton scolded with a faint smile.

"Because you're my boss too, sir."

"You need to remember, I'm not your boss. We're coworkers. Your boss is Rainero, right?"

"But your position is higher than mine, sir. You are also the number two person in this company, of course I have to be formal and professional."

Axton chuckled at Shenina's reasoning that she admitted to being very professional at work. Unlike other female employees who often steal eyes, seek attention, even deliberately spread charm and look for opportunities on him and Rainero, Shenina actually works with professionals. He never does things that sometimes make him fed up with his own employees. Fortunately, these employees dedicate themselves to working as well as possible regardless of their sometimes sickening attitude, if not, it may often be heard of employees who are forced to be fired because of these sickening attitudes.

"Well, it's up to you" he said, nodding his head. "Then I go in first. Good work, Shen."

"Happy work too, sir." Shenina commented a thin smile while nodding her head. Then he immediately turned his body, sitting on the chair that was not far from the entrance of Rainero's room. Shenina's desk was deliberately placed there. To make it easier to monitor and welcome if there are Rainero guests who come.

"Hi, Shen" said a man standing next to his car door. The man commented on the sweet smile while looking fixedly at Shenina who still looked charming even though the day had gone by.

"Hi too, Theo. Sorry, long time," Shenina said with a big smile. The man named Theo immediately opened the car door for Shenina. Shenina immediately entered and sat down at the steering wheel.

"No problem. It's only 5 minutes late." Answer Theo casually. Theo is Shenina's lover. "You wanna stop by somewhere first?" theo bargain.

"Can. Hmmm ... I want to eat gelato, okay?" Shenina smiled sweetly. A smile that he rarely showed in front of people. Only certain people have seen him, including Theo, the lover.

Theo smiled then rattled Shenina's hair angrily, "for you what the hell is not. Yes, we're going there now" said Theo, who knows where she likes gelato shops.

Within 15 minutes, Theo and Shenina had arrived at the gelato shop. Shenina immediately ordered her favorite gelato. He also ordered for Theo.

"Again what?" asked Shenina who had just returned after ordering her gel.

"Ah, there is none. Just look at the funny video," said Theo who immediately closed his phone screen and kept it in his pants pocket.

"Oh yeah, you said next month your parents came, like they like me? Frankly, I was nervous and anxious. You know for yourself how papa me and his wife are," Shenina said as she ate her gelato.

Yeah, next month Theo's parents will be coming from out of town. They will propose to Shenina and plan Theo and Shenina's wedding.

"You don't have to worry, my parents will definitely like you. You're not only beautiful, but you're also kind, smart, independent, you're the best" Theo said, staring lovingly at Shenina.

Shenina's instantly flushed face was praised in such a way by Theo. Any woman would feel flowers blooming in her heart when praised by the men she loved, including Shenina. Moreover, they have been in a relationship for more than 2 years, of course their feelings have become more and more profound.

"You're too complimentary," elak Shenina who didn't want to show too much that she was lulled by the lover's praise.

"I don't praise, I just tell the truth" Theo said. "Where are we going after this? Go straight home or is there somewhere else you want to go?"

Shenina shook her head, "just go home. I know, you must be tired after a long day at work."

"Not to be so thoughtful. I'm just glad I could please you like this. So, are we really going home?" Shenina nodded as well. Theo immediately drove his car to Shenina's house after they were in the car.

"Hi Shen," said Jessica cheerfully. Shenina just glared at it and immediately climbed up the stairs leaving Jessica.

"Look at your daughter's attitude! Though Jessica had tried to be friendly to her, but until now Shenina had never considered Jessica as her sister. You know, Jessica used to complain to me. She felt sad that Shenina always ignored her" said Ambar, Shenina's stepmother.

Harold growled furiously. He felt that Shenina's attitude was indeed very outrageous.

Brakkk ...

Harold opened the door of Shenina's room roughly making Shenina who had just laid her body jump.

"Daddy," muttered Shenina with a lazy face. He was sure, after this there would be drama his father was angry at him. Blaming himself for what he did not do then Ambar and Jessica will come crying in defense of him.

"You ... is this the result of the upbringing of the net, huh? No manners. Likes to do it. You know, kid doesn't know himself!" jolt Harold with a darkened face.

"Don't call my mom a net because my mom's not a net!" reply Shenina did not lose out loud.

"You don't like your mother being called a net, but that's the truth."

"I'm sure it's just slander."

Harold chuckled, "slander? While in front of my own eyes I saw a man come out of your mother's room, what do you think they're doing in the room alone, huh? Playing monopoly?"

"What looks isn't necessarily what it really is."

"Yes, just keep defending your poor mother! Even your behavior is no different from her."

"You need to remember, in the blood of the woman you call like this net is your blood. So don't blame me for acting like I want you to because you're always like that."

"You ... are really a fucking kid."

Platkk ...

Harold slapped Shenina's cheek with all his might making the corner of Shenina's lips hurt.

"Daddy, don't get mad at Shenina, dad!" Suddenly Jessica appeared in Shenina's room. As expected, this drama happened again.

"Yes dad, don't hurt Shenina. Poor him." Ambar is also chiming in. He held Harold's hand back from slapping Shenina's cheek.

"Look! Look, Jessica you never thought you'd always defend yourself, but what are you doing? You always make her sad. You always ignore him, but he's been so kind to you. Including your mommy. She always treated you like her own daughter, but what did you do? You never thought of it. You've been so rude to him often. You're a kid who doesn't know yourself. Not knowing it was lucky," Harold snapped with his index finger pointing at Shenina's face..

Shenina smiled cynically, "my mommy? Did Daddy forget that my mommy was dead? Who did he die for? Because you're. You're the cause."

"Don't mouth!"

Harold raised his hand and almost hit Shenina's cheek, but Jessica quickly blocked him until the slap hit Jessica's cheek.

"Aafr ... " Jessica screamed and then fell on the floor.

"Jessi," cried Ambar surprised. Harold also did not expect that Jessica would receive the slap he was about to lay on Shenina.

"All because you're a fucking girl! Just be careful if anything happens to Jessica, I will definitely make you regret it!" Raung Harold with a hateful look. Shenina just smiled cynically while holding back the pain of seeing her biological father love her stepson more than she was her real daughter.

Which child's heart doesn't sting when slapped in reality like that? Shenina was not a weak girl. He won't bow much less subject to Harold's attitude.

Actually, he had long wanted to leave the house that was nothing more than hell for him. But he still had something he had to do to keep him going. Although he had to swallow bitterly in the house, but as much as possible he could bear so that what he was trying to find a bright spot immediately.
