Luiz had just arrived in his room, and he had not even had time to do any work when his phone had rung aloud.
"Daddy ...?" luiz's eyebrows are linked when he realizes who is calling him, which is none other than his own daddy.
Without wasting longer, Luiz immediately shifted the green icon on the surface of the phone screen, to receive the call.
"Hello, daddy?" greet Luiz while sitting himself in the seat of Ceo.
"Hello Luiz? Where are you?" Arshlan, who was across the street, immediately asked a question that made both of Luiz's eyebrows simultaneously intertwined.
"I just arrived in my room, dad, what's up?"
The sound of Arshlan's heavy breathing was heard so clearly from the other side.
"Luiz, so you really don't know?" arshlan said later.
"About what, dadd? I ... I don't understand ..."
"Oh my God, Luiz, daddy didn't expect it, how could you not know that Jody Frederick was in this country?"
'Jody Frederick ...?'
'Really ...?'
Luiz simultaneously patted his forehead, as soon as he realized the direction of Arshlan's sentence.
Well. Frederick Jody. He is a business colleague of father Arshlan, who is none other than the father of Florence, the woman his parents hoped to be a son-in-law in the Arshlan family.
"So you really don't know?"
"No, dadd ..."
"Luiz, what are you doing? Didn't you yourself say that you were with Florence all day yesterday? How could you not know?"
"Florensia said nothing, dadd, maybe .. she forgot ..." Luiz scratched his non-itchy nape.
In his heart, Luiz lamented why Florence could be so careless that she forgot to tell him about her father's arrival.
'Basic Florensia .. why is this important thing he hasn't told me since yesterday?'
'Huhh, he was just busy attracting El's attention and making El jealous, so he forgot to say about his father's arrival!'
Luiz snatched an upset, aware of the Florentine carelessness caused by the woman's purgation to the figure El.
"Daddy really can't believe why the two of you forgot to talk about this important thing .." Across the street, Arshlan shook his head many times.
"Sorry, dadd ..."
"Mr Jody Frederick arrived last night on the final flight. He is currently at the Mercy Hotel. The point of his arrival was to meet an investor who would cooperate with his company."
Luiz mustard heard the clue from Arshlan, about the purpose of Mr. Jody Frederick's arrival to the country.
"Well, now I'd better call Florence first to ask about ..."
"Jody Frederick stayed in one of the Presidential suite rooms of the Mercy Hotel. Go there, and apologize daddy directly. Don't forget to convey also the invitation daddy to Mr. Jody Frederick and Florence, at the barbeque party at the ranch for a short night." Arshlan told Luiz.
"Alright, dadd. Then I'll go there right now." concluded Luiz, who was greeted by Arshlan's sigh of relief, from across the street.

"Where are we going?"
Victoria asked as she realized the direction Leo was taking, different from the usual path leading to the Arshlan family home.
"Ranch."
Victoria's eyebrows were getting tangled up real hearing that short answer. "Didn't mommy Lana want us to go to your house first?"
"The plan has changed. Mommy and Daddy told me to wait for them at the ranch, because later they will also soon follow there. So we do not need to take a long route and rotate here and there." concluded Leo at length.
As he spoke, Leo only glanced at Victoria for a glance, before finally returning to focus on watching the not-so-dense streets.
"Is there a special event so we go to the ranch today, even though it's not yet weekend?"
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Something out, it looks like they want to host a business colleague with a barbeque party."
Then the atmosphere in the car returned to silence, when the two no longer spoke.
Leo and Victoria.
"Are you okay?" leo's voice broke the silence, he turned back to Victoria's face, as if he wanted to make sure of something, although of course Leo could not do it constantly because he was driving.
"Hhm ..."
"You sure?"
"Of course."
Leo turned his head again, his facial expression instead looking the opposite, unsure.
"I'm the owner of my body, of course I know best what I feel .." replied Victoria diplomatically.
Hearing the confident answer made Leo reply with a sneer.
It's nothing, because the answer Victoria who always said that she was okay and okay, had been too often heard by Leo's ears.
Victoria was like that.
The woman never complained about what she was going through, either to Leo, or to anyone.
πΈπΈπΈπΈπΈ
"Luiz, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell my father's arrival. Everything was also unplanned in advance because the departure of the father was also sudden ..."
"Florensia, in the future please never happen again something like this. While you haven't been able to convince your father to refuse a relationship with me, then this carelessness of yours can make my daddy suspect the fake relationship between us."
Florensia looked down lethargic beside Luiz.
It was only natural that Luiz was upset, because the man had even been so impatient to wait for their charade to end, yet dear ... all the facts that exist in front of Florence makes Florence increasingly unable to determine its steps.
Although the Florentine had received El's kindness, the man had someone he liked, and it was not Florentine.
The elevator door before them opened, as Luiz and Florentia stepped inside, towards the fifteenth floor, where most of the presidential suite rooms belonging to the Mercy hotel were located, two of them were occupied by Florence and her father.
"Luiz .." call Florence, unravel the silence in the elevator.
"What else is it?"
"Mmm ... how about we agree to our matchmaking ...?" florensia asked, but the relaxed words from her lips instead reaped an overwhelming reaction from Luiz who immediately nodded and glared sharply.
"Florensia, what are you talking about? You're crazy, huh?!" luis Luiz was upset not playing.
However, finding Luiz's anger, instead of flinch Florentia even laughed a little.
"I feel like I have no hope with El, so what's wrong with us trying?"
"No. Whoareyou? It's good that you decide my future like that ...!"
Florence was stunned to find Luiz's unmitigated rejection.
"Luiz, you're outrageous. Am I that bad? Do you need to reject me that hard? I was just kidding!"
"Your glimmer is not funny!"
Hearing that Florensia looked strange, but her nosy smile again burst out as she felt even more excited about teasing Luiz.
"Luiz, how does it feel to be dating a kid?" his mischievous fingers wowed at Luiz's arms without awkwardness.
Luiz kept silent, trying hard not to respond to Florentine ostentation even though he was unable to hide his reddened face, because of the feeling of shame that whack.
To be honest, offending her love for Dasha was Luiz's only weakness at the moment.
Because of his sensitivity, it always managed to make Luiz's confidence evaporate in an instant.
Ting.
The elevator door that automatically opened made Luiz immediately swing his steps out, leaving Florence just like that which in the end hurriedly aligned Luiz's wide steps.
"Mirh ..."
"Otherwise?"
"Take my question,"
"No."
"You deliberately want to make me die of curiosity, huh?"
Luiz growled annoyed, but did not even relax his steps, making Florence more and more anxious to pull the arm of the tall and burly man, so as to divide the attention for him even if only for a moment.
"Come on, Luiz, answer my question first ..."
Luiz's tall body is pulled back, making the slender body of the Florentia reflex hit him making the Florentia limp.
"Yes ...!"
"Florensia you ..."
Luiz swiftly tried to reach the body of Florence staggered backward, but with no less rapid movement, a sturdy arm had blocked Luiz's intention to reach the body of Florence.
Bugh.
Florentia's body lands seamlessly in the arms of the man with a scent that reminds Florence of someone who ...
"El ...?"
Luiz
El and Florence
El smiled as Florence recognized him.
"Sorry, because I've ruined the sweet scene ..."
Hearing the sarcastic sentence made Florence aware. The next second he had distanced his body from within El's arms with a violent body gesture.
"El, why are you here?"
"Want to see you."
"But ..."
"I never thought I'd be able to see Mr. Luiz again here .." El said to Luiz. Her lips were decorated with a smile, but a smile that seemed cold.
"It's good to see you too, Mr. El. I also did not expect, because we met too often without planning .." Luiz replied to mince words, while not forgetting to sing her best smile.
Meanwhile, among them, Florentia stood there with a dumbfounded face, before finally choosing to touch Luiz's arm.
"Luiz, don't waste time, because my father is waiting .." he said, looking down, avoiding the glare of El who seemed to want to swallow Florence alive!
