The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 26 Intimidation of Redi

It's been a week since the duel between Steven and Aldo. A few days after entering the hospital, Steven was allowed to return home. And Aldo too.

Aldo still does not accept that Steven won the duel. He asked for a re-match, but Hans refused. There can no longer be a duel until anytime. Hans called Aldo and made a decision.

"Aldo, the director at the Surabaya branch office resigned because he wanted to rest. Now Papi offers you this position. How's it?"

"But I want the one at Headquarters, Pi."

Steven who was also there because called his papi just bobbing his head. Aldo is really stubborn.

"You've made a deal with Steve if you lose the duel, you'll accept. Why is he so stubborn?" Hans felt emotion and suddenly his chest hurt.

"But why pi?" Steven panicked to see his papa in pain. After that he went to his papal room to take the medicine placed under the tongue if his papy disease recurred.

After Hans had calmed down a bit, he tried to catch his breath and started talking.

"Slows, pi. Don't be so forced." Steven was worried. Steven actually wanted to punch Aldo because he was insensitive to the health of his Pap, but he put up with it for the sake of his Pap.

"Ga nothing, Steve. Papi just wanted to say one thing after that Papi would take a break to the room"

"Yes pi... "

"Aldo, gini. You hold a position first in the Surabaya office, if according to Papi you are able, you will place Papi in the headquarters, later Steve in Surabaya. How, Steve? You agree?"

Steven was so pensive to think if he later in Surabaya, he would not be able to meet Elena and her two friends again.

"Steve's? Are you okay?" Hans asked Steven who had been silent.

"mmm... Yes, pi. I agree."

"Good then. Papi loves a year-long opportunity for Aldo to prove himself to Papi. If you can't, Aldo Papi's position is down to an employee at the head office"

"But that's not fair, pi!"

"Oh, you don't keep protesting! Papi's getting dizzy!"

After that Hans immediately stood up and walked towards his room.

Since coming back to work on Wednesday, Elena's work has grown a lot, moreover, Redi continues to add to his work because he did not have time to do it because he often accompanied Dimas or Arya meetings outside the office.

Ms. Cindy was suspicious but she was still observing. After all, if he complains to Dimas, he is afraid that Redi even more so by adding to Elena's work.

After exiting Dimas' room, Redi brought a stack of files to Elena's desk.

"Now, you do this. But if it's not finished today it's nothing, don't force it. Today I have to accompany Mr. Dimas meeting outside the office."

"Yes, I'll do it."

"Redi, what the hell? Dong's own work! That is your job!" Mba Cindy began to rile at the behavior of Redi arbitrarily towards Elena.

"I'm not maksa mba, this is Elena's own will from yesterday-yesterday. Aren't you, Elena?" Said Redi trying to defend himself.

"Yes, mas"

Cindy still doesn't trust Redi. He suspects that Elena was forced by Redi. After that Dimas out of his room to prepare for a meeting outside the office accompanied by Redi.

**

Dimas and Redi just returned to the office before the office hours. After a short break in his room, Dimas went home first to his staff because he was quite tired today.

Cindy cleared her desk and got ready to go home.

"Elena, is there still work? Want to go home with you?"

"Mba Cindy first yes, I take responsibility there is still a little more work done"

"OK deh. If so, I go first! If you can not be too late to go home" said Cindy.

"Yes, mba"

After Cindy left the room, Redi who was still in place approached Elena's desk and returned with a pile of files.

"Yes, mas"

Elena was actually very tired but she couldn't protest. After all, Redi is his senior in the office.

**

Arya just finished a meeting from Simmons Corp., a Steven family company that is working with the Dimas family company. There's a file he wants to discuss with Dimas right away. Previously he had sent a chat to Dimas so that Dimas should not go home first and wait for him at the office. But upon arriving at the office, he only saw Elena who was working alone.

"Elena? You alone? Which dimas?"

"Sir Dimas has come home from earlier, sir."

"Oh, means I'm late dong huh. Pantesan I chat kok ga in bales. Yes, it's tomorrow. You're not home at this hour yet?"

"Yes, I have to overtime sir, because there's still a lot of work"

"Should it be finished today?"

"Yes, Sir. Tomorrow morning it must be handed over"

"May I see your work?"

"This, sir"

Arya is shocked to see the stack of files that Redi was supposed to work on. There must be something wrong here.

"This is Redi's job, why are you the one doing it?"

"Mas Redi all day accompanied Mr. Dimas meeting outside so I did the work, sir"

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Sir. Knight, just go home first, sir. I can do this myself"

"Can't, I don't want you here alone. So I'll wait until you're done"

"But... "

"Udah, don't wear buts. Let's just say I don't exist. If it's about drinking easily, then I can make it myself"

"Okay, then sir... "

"Do you want me to make tea or coffee? Or do you want a cold drink?"

"It's okay, sir. Thanks..."

But Arya still made a warm cup of tea for Elena. While waiting for Elena, Arya tries to contact Dimas but is not picked up. Maybe the phone's off and Dimas forgot to charge the battery. Usually, if this is the case Dimas is very tired so he is probably sleeping right now.

Time had already shown it almost at 9 p.m. and Arya saw Elena's pale face. He must be tired and certainly has not eaten either. Arya then decided to approach Elena.

"Elena, please stop right now"

"But I'm not done yet, sir"

"Let that be my business"

"But, Sir..."

"I said, stop now! it's orders! Like it or not, I'm still your boss, Elena. I'm sure that if Dimas were here, he would do the same as me. Come on, I'll help you clear this table, and then I'll take you home"

"Good, sir...." Elena could only nod in resignation.

After finishing cleaning the table, Arya then took Elena to the parking lot to get into the car and go home.

On the way, Arya was silent. Elena knew their relationship had not improved, but she felt sad at being let down by Arya.

"Arya's sister is angry with me?"

"Yes, I am angry because I am surprised that you are willing to be used with Redi. But I'm actually more angry with Redi than you"

After that Elena was more silent, because during knowing Arya, Elena never once saw Arya angry. Arya turned her car somewhere. Elena was astonished because she thought she would be delivered straight home by Arya.
