Xena
54. Ray's Contract

A few days had passed, and Xena and Ray's relationship had also gone smoothly without the pebbles.

Rumors about the two also began to recede by themselves in social media, it was because there was no confirmation from both parties.

Both Xena and Ray were doing their routine as usual. Xena is busy with her lectures, restos and taekwondo. While Ray is quite busy with busy schedules in the entertainment world.

The two only meet if Ray is off and communicates smoothly over the phone or chat.

With Ray and Xena's relationship, Mutual Grandpa makes Ray a little open and willing to take over the company.

Mutual's grandfather said that if not forever Ray relied on his artistic world. It also says, if he wants to build a serious relationship with Xena. He must focus on the future of both and his children.

Everything will be easy if he holds the company early on, because the head of the family is the economic support of the family.

...

Be the moment Ray, Reno and also Galang are in a fast food restaurant. The three were in an open-air room sitting in a corner away from the other table.

"Are you the one you want to talk to Ray about?" ask Reno.

"How long will my contract last, brother?" ask Ray directly.

"Maybe in about 5 or 6 months. Why?" reno

"I don't want to extend the contract" Ray said confidently

"What??? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't you say you wanted to stay in the entertainment world for at least 3 more years? You're at the top of Ray's career, why do you want to step down, is it because of Xena?" reno was surprised.

Galang just kept quiet because he already knew if this would happen, no matter how Ray has other obligations with his family company.

"This has nothing to do with Xena, she never forbade me to continue a career in the entertainment world. But I decided not to renew because I would start taking over the company" Ray said seriously.

"Take over the company? Don't you like that?" ray squinted his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, after all, it's my family's company. I've been talking about this with grandfather, inevitably, I have to take over the place. I'm the only heir" Ray said calmly.

"Have you thought about it?" reno asked, Ray nodded.

"Hmm, I'm sure" replied Ray steadily

"Then what about me and Galang?" reno said sadly.

Because it can not be denied, if both work hard for Ray. If Ray stops in the entertainment world, Reno will lose a good job.

Although he can be a manager for other artists, because he is an employee at the agency. But that meant he had to repeat everything from scratch again with the new artist.

While Galang who is Ray's assistant, will automatically stop working. Because he's contracted by Ray, not an agency.

"Galang will come to work with me in the company. If Brother Reno wants to, I will also think of a suitable position for big brother in the company" said Ray

Reno sighed, knowing Ray's identity as the heir to Octavio Group. And following Ray was the best thing of his career.

But he was worried, because he really liked his current job. So he hesitated to choose.

"I don't know Ray yet" said Reno

"So don't think about it, you can call me anytime if you've decided" said Ray

"All right" Reno said

The three of them then chatted for a long time, it was about Ray's schedule for the next half year before the contract expired.

...

But what Yuri did not know, the two friends were actually not sincerely friends with him. It was because of Yuri's arrogant nature and considered herself superior, even in front of her friends.

Although they do not like it, the two still remain friends with him, it is because Yuri is the son of a top-class businessman in this country.

They were simply utilizing Yuri's naivety for their own sake. In front of Yuri the two tried to praise as high as the sky, but behind Yuri both scoffed at him and dropped as deep as the abyss.

"Why does your face always bend Ri?" ask Ema

"Yes, why is your face buckled like that? Is there a problem?" Kiki chimed in, as if they cared deeply for Yuri.

"I was upset, because Ray couldn't get close to me at all. Especially the woman who went viral with him, I became angry. I would love to tear J*Lang's face off, how dare he approach my man" Yuri said in annoyance.

"It's not that Ray and women never confirm their relationship huh. Maybe it was just a game so that the woman was popular with the big name Ray" said Ema

"That's Ri, there's no way Ray would choose that woman on your appeal. You are more beautiful and also rich, which man rejects your charm? Just look, the news sank by itself a long time, right?" kiki chimed again

Obviously he was lying, both of them had already seen Xena_Yaksha's account. And the two of them were very sure that Xena was much more beautiful than Yuri.

Xena looks more pure, attractive and has a distinctive alluring aura. While Yuri, it looks like a real j*Lang. Yuri is pretty, but it's just pretty and in thick powder polishes also wears sexy branded clothes.

Isn't that the real j*Lang effect?

"really?" asked Yuri with a sparkling face.

"It's just a rumor Ri, in the entertainment world instead like it like that if you want to be famous? and it will sink as time goes on" Kiki said

"You can create new rumors about you and Ray, you can also drop them if you want. I'm more interested in Ray than any other woman. You are beautiful and rich, it makes others jealous. Didn't you also say that Ray's grandfather wanted to get you guys?" said Ema

"Ah, you're right. Why don't I think about getting there" Yuri said with a big smile.

The two friends smiled in front of Yuri, but in their hearts they were very opposite. If their feelings are right, Ray and Xena are definitely in touch.

Otherwise, how a Ray who is very cold and does not care, even with top actresses who used to chase him alone in the raw reject directly.

As for the news about him and Xena, both of them were just silent and neither clarified nor denied if it was hoak and not true happened. So more than 80% of them are convinced, Ray and Xena's relationship must be true. Both of them do not want to publish it.

"But how, if I post to the public. Not many will believe if Ray is mine, I don't have many followers" Yuri said sadly.

"You can pay the water soldiers or the shadow netizens. It will be faster to go up and spread" said Kiki gave input.

"But Ri, that's just our opinion. I'm not a fortune teller to guess what happened. I just want to give my best advice to my best friend. If it turns out our estimate missed how?" ema said with a worried face.

"Just calm down, I trust you and won't blame you if there's anything. If you think your words are true. Thanks gang's, you guys are indeed my best friends and I'm sure you'll never have bad intentions for me" Yuri smiled.

"That was supposed to be" said Ema and Kiki, then the three laughed together.

"To celebrate this day I am happy, I will pay for the food today. After this we are shopping, you are free to buy the goods you want" said Yuri.

"Aaahhh Yurii you are the best" said Ema and Kiki simultaneously.

Pleased?

Sure was! This is the advantage of both, Yuri is a very naive and stupid woman. Both of his friends will be very fond of getting branded goods without effort. Just need to lick and please her.
