Young Handsome Woman's Target
Uneasily

Devano, who is still haunted by anxiety because of his dream, tried to eliminate and not connect his dream with the condition of his mother who may be sick.

He returned to his room and immediately grabbed his phone beside his sleeping pillow. The clock seen on his phone shows five in the morning. It crossed his mind intending to call his mother because it seemed like his heart would not calm if it had not ascertained the condition of his mother, at least he could listen to her mother's voice.

Devano looked for his mother's contact, and then he called her. Usually at four o'clock in the morning his mother must have been awake, the difference in time in place Devano one hour faster than in the place of his mother.

So, if at the place Devano shows five o'clock in the morning, it is likely that the hour at his mother's place is four o'clock in the morning.

"Hello Ma'am?" greet Devano after connecting the call with his beloved mother.

"Hello, Devan. Tumben you call mom this early. What was? You okay, right, Devan?" ask her mother in a worried tone.

"Devan is fine, Mom. Devan called mom this early in the morning because Devan was very upset with mom. How's mom doing? You're healthy, right?" devano asks her if her mother is okay and not what she is worried about.

"Mom's healthy, son. New mom wants to cook for Kevin to go to school."

"Thank God, Mom. Devan is happy to hear that mom is in good health. Sorry ma'am, for the past week Devano has rarely told me. Devan is very busy and still adapting to the new work and environment here."

"It's okay, son. I know your mother and sisters are fine here. Remember that! Don't think too much about your mother, focus and concentrate on your work first" she said, trying to convince Devano not to worry about her too much.

Devano now felt calm and relieved after hearing her mother's soft voice. "Yes ma'am, Devan will concentrate on my work. Pray Devan continues well ma'am, so that the project can be completed quickly," said Devano with a smile.

"Mother's prayers will always be with you. Your mother and sisters here will continue to pray for you. The spirit continues to work, if there is a problem face calmly and hand over the same Almighty, it will certainly make it easier," said his mother.

Devano and his mother's conversation ended when the dawn of the Adhan rang in the place of Devano. Devano was relieved to hear his mother was fine and his dream was just a sleeping flower.

"Thank God, everything is fine" Devano said and immediately got ready to go to work. Today Devano can calmly do his job.

Devano's agenda today is to visit the second phase of the project and meet with partners who will supply building materials for the construction of the housing project.

****

The time has shown at 12:00 WITA. Exactly hours of rest Devano rushed out of his office towards a resto to meet his partner. Previously, Devano had made an agreement with his partner.

The afternoon air felt so hot, that even in the car the cold air AC did not feel soothing. Devano opens half the glass to allow air to enter. The weather lately has been extreme. It feels so hot during the day, but at night it feels so cold.

Arriving at a restaurant, Devano immediately parked his car in a parking lot that was already available. A restaurant that is quite famous for its delicious seafood. Then Devano walked into the resto and immediately contacted his partner to tell him that he had arrived.

It turns out that the partner who promised to meet Devano had arrived first and welcomed Devano's arrival. "Good day, Mr. Devan, please sit down!" said Mr. Ludra standing in his seat.

"Thank you, Ludra," Devano answered, extending his hand to shake his hand.

"Sorry Mr. Devan, I ordered some food. Perhaps there is an additional menu that you want to order Mr. Devan please," said Mr. Ludra.

"Alright, then we should eat first. Only then do we discuss our business," said Mr. Ludra let Devano enjoy the dishes available.

"Good Sir."

Mr. Ludra is the largest natural stone entrepreneur in the city. Almost all housing projects and other projects work together with his company.

From the looks of it, Mr. Ludra is around 45 to 50 years old and very experienced in the business world, including the coal business in the ring as well.

Although his age is more senior but Mr. Ludra is good at how to respect his business consumers to feel comfortable, so that a cooperative relationship with his business consumers can be implemented. Mr. Ludra really appreciates and entertains his business partners including Devano who is younger almost half of his age.

After finishing eating, they began to discuss the price offer submitted by Mr. Ludra. It appears that Devano checked the file on the map he brought, then matched it with the bid price that was submitted by Mr. Ludra.

Instantly his forehead seemed to wrinkle seeing that something was not right. Devano found a different price list, the price in the file he held was higher than the price offered by Mr. Ludra.

"Sorry Mr Ludra, is this a new price or an old price?" devano asked while showing the filing file for Mr. Ludra.

"This is the price from the past Mr. Devan, I will not raise the price even though there are some items whose price rises."

Devano began to understand why the pimpro who was asked to resign, probably because there is a mark up of shopping costs. This is based on the procurement of natural stone and has not procured other materials.

Seeing Devano daydream for a while, Ludra spoke up. "Just calm Devan sir, there will be a percentage for Devan sir as well. I give you ten percent of the total procurement, yes ... Think of it as my thanks." It looks like Mr. Ludra carved a smile on his lips and thinks this must be fun news for Mr. Devan.

Devano is seen taking a deep breath and thinking back for a moment at the offer of Mr. Ludra. This is what Devano has always worried about, the temptation in the world of projects that make people dark in the eye, taking advantage of personal interests.

Well, Devano does not want him to be tempted and lulled with bonuses that will lower his self-esteem. He always remembered his mother's message to prioritize honesty and a sense of responsibility in doing work. So, Devano already felt quite grateful even with his current salary, which he obtained from the results of his own sweat.

"So, this price can still go down ten percent sir? Then just enter it as a discount for the company, so the discount on the invoice is ten percent," said Devano. "I'm sorry Mr. Ludra I can't accept a percentage for me" Devano said, refusing without any intention of offending Mr. Ludra.

At once Mr. Ludra was a little surprised by Devano's statement, because usually every one he offered a percentage bonus or fee would be happy to accept it, he said, and this is something that is considered commonplace in the business world, but Devano actually rejected it.

Mr. Ludra was amazed at Devano who was young, but already had a high sense of responsibility, he was not concerned with his own personal benefits. Finally Mr. Ludra agreed on a discount on the invoice of ten percent.

Because their conversation was over and agreed to do business cooperation, Devano tidied up the file and put it in the folder.

When he wanted to put the file into the map, Devano's hand suddenly nudged his drinking glass which was still filled with water until it fell, and caused the glass to break on the floor.

Let's just say Devano and Mr. Ludra are shocked. Devano thought why he could be this sloppy, but he tidied up the file carefully.

Somehow after the incident, Devano's feelings became unpleasant and his heart became unsettled.
