Forced to Be Stepmom
Bad Gossip About Radit

Radit immediately drove Andra and Lathan home after they had lunch. After that he returned to the office because there were problems that had to be dealt with.

"Candra, what exactly is going on? How can we miss a project that is just waiting for a cooperation letter?". Radit immediately rushed to his room and asked Candra with a confused face and also did not understand what happened to his company.

"I don't understand either. They suddenly contacted me and told me that our cooperation could not continue.They did not say the reason behind this cancellation" Candra explained in a slightly confused manner as she continued to shrug her shoulders and move her hands while she was talking.

"Can't continue? Have you investigated what really happened?" Radit looked at Candra with a serious look because he was sure that his friend and assistant already had something to report to him.

"There is something that will make you understand why all this is happening" Candra's voice now looks weaker and calmer than before but Radit squinted at Candra who explained in a long-winded manner

"What are you talking about? Just tell me everything. No need to be convoluted" said Radit who looks annoyed.

"alright. I'll tell you everything". For a moment Candra smiled to see Radit's reaction, but after that she went back to being serious.

"The leader of PT Sidara Makmur was close friends with Bagas Pradipta"

Radit frowned in surprise at Candra's words and then he cut off her words

"So you mean... Mr. Panji is friends with Mr. Bagas her husband Audy?"

"really. They were old friends" Candra responded to Radit while nodding her head slowly and playing her lips

"Thus ... There is also a possibility that Mr Bagas asked Mr Panji to cancel his cooperation with us?" muttered Radit who was trying to find an answer to his problem.

"It could be like that. But we still have to investigate it again, lest we make a mistake because we have guessed" Candra responded with a calm and considerate attitude.

"Do you know what to do?" radit asked with a sharp look at Candra

"Yes. I've put a few people around them both. I'll also monitor their movements, but you know for yourself that I have limitations in IT issues. I can't break through the defenses of those who use complicated passwords"

Candra smiled awkwardly as she said her flaws.

"I already know that. From the beginning your ability to hack a computer has always sucked. Though you've been studying since school with me" Radit vilified Candra with a calm demeanor before his person.

"You always relax when you insult others. Your mouth is always light when it comes to other people's shortcomings" Candra grumbled with a sneer

"Well how else? It is a fact that your abilities have never increased in the past" Radit said in an indifferent manner

"Yes yes. I don't want to argue with you anymore. For a long time I could have high blood if it continued to serve you" Candra continued to grumble while leaving Radit's room, while Radit only shook his head while smiling at Candra's attitude. After that, the look in his eyes changed again

"Audy .. If you're the brains behind all this, then I'll make you pay for what you're doing. It's been years knowing each other, but you still don't know how I handle the problem" muttered Radit with his body leaning against the chair and head facing the ceiling in his room.

Meanwhile Panji and Bagas were sitting together in a restaurant while enjoying a cup of their ordered coffee.

"Thank you for helping me upset Radit. I will definitely give you my company project" Bagas thanked Panji for canceling his contract with Radit

"Why don't you like Radit?" continue Panji who is curious about what is the cause Bagas does not like Radit.

For a moment Bagas fell silent while wiping his coffee.

"Because he has dared to tease my wife"

"What?" Panji who was drinking almost choked because he was surprised to hear the words of Bagas

"You didn't hear wrong. She did dare to tease my wife, Audy. Therefore I want to teach him a little lesson so that he does not dare to tease something that belongs to someone else" Bagas spoke in a calm manner, as he said, but it was clear from the look in his eyes and the expression on his face that he was very angry and upset at this moment.

"But .. as I know Mr. Radit is married and has children, there is no way he is flirting with your wife" Panji said, perplexed by what his friend said

"It's not a guarantee that a married man doesn't bother others, right? If indeed he was a loyal man, how could he openly approach my wife" Bagas insisted that Radit had dared to tease Audy.

Panji is increasingly confused and does not believe what Bagas said, but he still ignores it because they are friends

"Then what will you do again? Are you sure this way Mr. Radit will know what his fault is? Mr. Radit wouldn't know that I canceled our partnership just because he was harassing your wife. If so, then nothing will change between Mr. Radit and your wife" Panji said trying to explain to Bagas

"You just calm down. I've also started to mess up the stock market a little bit. Radit's not a fool. I've been spreading rumors that she dares to tease my wife that way .. Radit will know what the problem is" Bagas explained with a thin grin on his lips. Rather than that, Panji only responded to her in an indifferent manner

"It's up to you. I'll just be involved. I don't want to get involved any further with your problems"

"Thank you again for helping me"

"Yes, no problem" Panji responded with a faint smile and a slow nod of his head

Meanwhile, in Radit's office

"Ware, Dit. I have something you should know" Candra walked up to Radit's room hurriedly while carrying the tablet in her hand

"What's going on? Why are you panicking like that?" Radit frowned astonished at the panicked Candra

"Look at this!" Candra showed me what she found about Radit on the internet

"What the fuck?! How can there be such a rumor?" Radit was visibly upset when he read an anonymous post about him

"A young businessman openly seduces women who are wives of others in public"

The post about Radit was accompanied by a photo of herself and Audy while in the restaurant, but the photo was not included Andra and Lathan who were beside Radit

"Find out the culprit and the spreader of the rumor. I'm not gonna let them get away with it because it worries my wife because of this post. They should know the consequences of making my wife worried" Radit said in an annoyed manner

"Just tell me you're afraid Andra will get mad at you"
