Chapter 22

"It's sunny today to," said Teo who was looking out through the glass in his room.

Teo was still thinking about yesterday's events, he was wondering who the enemy this time his family was facing and who was the traitor in the family this time.

Isn't it very coincidental, Uncle Daniel will soon be out of prison and suddenly hoax news spreads about Teo. And the unexpected occurrence of Danuarta Corp.

He was curious about who was playing behind the scenes, he felt that his every move was being watched but by whom.

Tringgg.

There was an incoming message from Amel. "Where's the appointment today?" she asked.

I almost forgot that Teo had an appointment with Amel today, "Free up to you," Teo replied.

"Well, don't worry about me, how come being a guy isn't very strict," reply to Amel in a short message.

"Patience is still childish," Teo said calmly. It's not that he doesn't want to decide where, but actually he doesn't know where to go.

"Well, just at the cafe near the square," Teo replied.

"Tch, a lot of people are lazy and cramped,"

"Then where?" Ask Theo.

"You're free to follow," Amelia replied.

"Just in a cafe feel,"

"So lazy," Amelia replied.

Teo started to get a little annoyed because he felt he was being toyed with, "Well, you just decide the place, really cool," Teo said.

"Just invite me home," Amelia replied.

After seeing Amel's reply, Teo typed excitedly. "Speaking of asking to be picked up asshole," and his right thumb pressed the send button.

No more reply from Amel. "Basic, even though you just have to talk about picking yourself up at home, what's so difficult, so you don't have to play around," Teo grumbled.

"Why are you so angry?" Asked Jane who was already in Teo's room.

"That's Amel asking to be picked up, it's difficult, talking here and there is complicated," Teo answered who focused on looking at his cellphone screen.

Uh wait! Theo lifted his head, "When did you come in?" Teo asked surprised, because he did not hear the sound of the door opening.

"Just now you were nagging," answered Jane who immediately sat on the sofa.

"Your habit of playing just goes straight into the cave room," Teo said annoyed. Jane didn't care what her boss said, she was busy with the laptop in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" Teo asked because Jane had only focused on her laptop, usually when Jane came to report something but not this time.

"Shut up, naughty is always the boss," Jane answered sarcastically.

"This is my room, if there's nothing important, go back to your room, don't just disturb the view of the cave," Teo said because he felt his privacy was disturbed.

"Unfortunately, I just want to be here so I have a friend to talk to," Jane replied who was still focused on her laptop.

"Go back sono ah," Teo said telling his assistant to leave.

"Ish come here for a moment, being a very fussy person," Jane replied annoyed, because she just wanted to stay for a while in Teo's room.

Finally Teo relented, letting Jane work in her room. The atmosphere was quiet, both of them focused on their respective work, sometimes Teo sighed excessively.

"Why the hell did I see you gasping for breath in surprise," Jane asked her boss.

"Oh, you don't have to comment, I'll just do what I'm going to do," Teo replied annoyed at the protest.

"If you have a lot on your mind, just tell the cave," Jane said giving advice.

Jane's suggestion sounds good, how many times has she told Teo to vent if something is bothering her, there's nothing wrong if she confides this time, Teo thought.

"No ah, then you ask for money to vent," answered Theo idly.

"No, like who do you usually confide in the cave to," said Jane.

"Well I'm still dizzy just thinking a lot," said Teo who took a short break with his work.

"Yesterday's problem?" Jane asked.

"That's one of them, but there's another that bothers my mind. I don't know I'm really dizzy," Teo said while looking up at the office ceiling.

"Tell me, just tell me, I'll listen," Jane replied who was no longer focused on her laptop.

"I'm still thinking about what happened yesterday Jane, I still don't know who is the mastermind behind the hoax news being spread,"

"News about your brother is also a hoax?" Jane asked curiously.

"For a family company led by Bang Danu, it's not a hoax," Teo explained with a blank stare.

"Eh seriously there is money laundering?" Jane asked again.

"Yes, its subsidiaries do money laundering. But the people who do it are just puppets, there are people who have more power behind them," Teo explained.

"You know who it is?"

"I don't know yet, but I have a feeling that there is a traitor in my family," answer Teo was sure.

"Are you sure?" Ask Jane to make sure.

"I'm sure Jane." Teo replied with a heavy sigh.

"In addition, Val suddenly came, then I was matched with my mother's friend's son, just to add to my thoughts," Teo continued, lying down on the chair.

"Eh, so you're serious about getting married?" Jane asked in disbelief.

"Yes, seriously, what you heard earlier when you entered the room. That's the person who was matched with me," Teo replied.

"What's that name I forgot?"

"Amel." Teo replied.

"Well then, how do you feel about Val now?" Jane asked.

"I don't know, I'm also confused about my own feelings, every time I see Val, I have mixed feelings,"

"But you've accepted the matchmaking now," Jane glared.

"Yeah, but it's just a play so mom doesn't ask me to rush into marriage, I can't confirm my feelings yet," Teo replied.

Jane felt a sense of relief when she heard that it was an arranged marriage it's just a charade.

"In my opinion, first make sure your feelings for Val, don't get confused like this," Jane replied giving advice.

Now he is more enthusiastic about listening to Teo's story.

"I still don't know the reason why he left me first, maybe that's what confused me until now," Teo said.

Jane saw a deep sadness when talking about this, the basis of her past has not changed at all, said Jane in her heart.

"If he doesn't tell you the reason, why don't you just get to the point? Don't wait for each other. He waits for you to ask and you wait for him to explain, there will be no end," Answered Jane.

"It's not that easy Jane, I'm not ready yet," Teo said weakly.

"You have to be ready, everything will have consequences, Teo and you have to be able to accept that. Good or bad the explanation you receive later, you have to be able to accept it so you don't get confused like this again," answered Jane.

"You're right Jane, I'm too scared to get any clarity that doesn't live up to my expectations," Teo said while looking at Jane's face.

"Thanks for listening to my story," Teo continued.

"You're welcome," Answered Jane.

"Btw, you look beautiful too," Teo said suddenly, Jane's face turned red.

"But it's weird that you're still single,"

"That's because you are the one I want, not someone else," Jane reasoned inwardly.

"I think I know why you're single," Teo said seriously.

Does Teo realize that Jane likes him? "That's because you really don't do it," Teo continued along with loud laughter.

Too bad Jane had hoped, "Bastard!" Jane cursed as she threw the pen that was on the table.
