When Aneska went shopping again with Mianca and Kira, Edwin was still busy in the office, sitting in a chair with a pile of documents waiting for his signature on the table, while the man himself seemed focused on the computer screen in front of him. he.
"This is what you asked for, Director," said Zion as he placed the file on Edwin's desk.
The man only glanced at him briefly and then returned his focus to the computer screen.
“Meeting preparations are ready, Director. You only have five minutes left," continued Zion, reporting Edwin's next schedule.
Once again Edwin looked up, glanced briefly at his secretary, then nodded and continued his busy life.
It seems that Edwin is very busy today, even the file that Zion got on his orders only glanced at it briefly, then after that he left it on the work desk with other files while Edwin went to attend an important meeting with his subordinates regarding the success of a project. After all, Edwin was the project leader.
What might be in the file? Could it be data from Zion's investigation of Edwin's orders? What can they gain from all this? What's the result?
While Edwin was busy, the file was still on the table, and elsewhere Alendra received the same file. But the old man immediately opened the brown envelope and read it.
Alendra's facial expression turned hard, with a sharp and even gaze.
“This must be a mistake. How is that possible?" thought Alendra.
The man's eyes shifted to trace the letters arranged into a series of sentences to form a report on A4 paper. There was also some evidence in it, the more Alendra found out, the more it made the man nervous. Various expressions mixed on his face, and the man's hands clenched into fists on the table.
"Fuck!" The man cursed after hitting his fist on the thick glass table.
Alendra's assistant was still there waiting for further orders.
"Are you sure this is true?" Alendra asked coldly.
“Yes, Commissioner. I have researched it through various sources. I also investigated it carefully, and that was the result," explained Alendra's assistant.
Alendra's gaze was fixed on the file in his hand as he squeezed the edges of the paper tightly.
“How is it possible to get involved in something like this? Even though I had buried it carefully. What does that mean?" Alendra didn't understand all the results of the report written on the paper.
"But Director Edwin also investigated," the man said.
"What?" Alendra shouted spontaneously when he heard the report.
“Yes, Commissioner. I accidentally saw Zion investigating something."
Once again Alendra banged his desk angrily. The man's breath rose and fell with anger.
“I won't be able to get that girl out. If Edwin finds out who the girl is, and what it has to do with what happened seventeen years ago, big trouble will happen. Unlucky."
Alendra looked frustrated after seeing the results of his investigation. Silent for a moment while staring at the file, it seemed that Alendra was thinking about what actions to take in the future and prevent big problems from happening.
“I will take care of the rest. Don’t let Edwin find out, do something for me!” Alendra confirmed and his assistant immediately accepted it.
The man immediately left Alendra's office to carry out his duties again.
After his assistant left, Alendra closed his eyes to calm himself.
“I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I have to confirm first whether the girl remembers anything or not?” Alendra thought. "But why did this have to happen ?"
Exhaling roughly, Alendra was very angry now. But what can this man do with Aneska, who has started to develop a good relationship with Kira, his wife who doesn't know anything?
There are still other problems that might occur until Aneska's secret is revealed. I don't know what Edwin will do if the man finally finds out who Aneska is. No wonder Micah said Aneska should have died.
"They look so alike," commented Alendra while looking at the photo on his desk.
In the photo, there are four people, a father, a mother, and two daughters of different ages. There was a little girl among them with a wide innocent smile. Alendra's gaze fell on the photo of the little girl.
“Seventeen years passed, you appeared unexpectedly. What is your goal Aneska? Was your arrival a coincidence or was it planned?" Alendra spoke to himself, considering what decision he might have to take.
Something unexpected always happens, but does it have to be closely related to something they want to avoid? Is this a surprise from fate?
“I have to confirm it first before making a decision. This is for good," said Alendra.
Protecting or not caring is something Alendra has to consider. Moreover, Kira has developed a close relationship with Aneska without knowing anything.
"This is my fault," sighed Alendra.
Alendra's hands clenched tightly, as did his jaw. Alendra did not take into account the possible threat posed by Aneska.
If Micah hadn't been hysterical and angry when he saw Aneska, maybe Alendra wouldn't have investigated Aneska's background and life history, which is still a secret.
'The Willis family died tragically, the cause is unknown but there is a strong suspicion that they were murdered.'
There is an article among the files. Alendra looked at the paper blankly.
Seventeen years ago, the man used all his efforts to clear the name of his only son who was involved in a case and tried to bury him. But what now? This case surfaced again and was closely linked to a girl whom Alendra brought home, even registering the girl as his son's wife and becoming his daughter-in-law. If only Alendra had investigated before making a marriage certificate proving it was legally valid.
Could it be that Edwin already realized something was wrong?
“That kid is quick to act.”
Alendra sighed again as he looked out the window where there was a view of the city below. The sky looked cloudy. A message came to Alendra's cell phone, and also Edwin's cell phone elsewhere. Message from whom?
