GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 296. SNEAKY JOANA
“Dad, let me handle this. I'd better meet them in person, some of those companies are our previous clients and I'm the one who usually deals directly with them. Dad, don't worry! I'll finish everything!” said Amanda encouraged Yadid not to despair.
“Arimbi, you should learn more about the company and how to deal with clients! So one day if this happens you can overcome it because you can not forever rely on me alone!” said Amanda. His words contained a deep meaning, Arimbi understood very well the innuendo veiled in Amanda's words.
He did not say anything in return Arimbi smiled and nodded. After Amanda died, there was only Arimbi and Yadid in the director's room. The woman stood up and stepped towards the door to make sure no one else was behind the door and shut it tightly. Arimbi looked at his father who looked disheveled due to many thoughts.
Dreeetttt dreeeeettttt dreeeeettttt
Yadid's phone rang, she ignored him because her mind was currently unfocused. But Arimbi glanced at his father's cell phone lying on the table and he recognized who called his father.
“Dad, why didn't you answer that phone?”
“Ah, let it go! Later I call back, most also business partners who will cancel the cooperation again who call.” said Yadid not excited.
“Are you sure you don't want to answer the phone? He will definitely be angry and won't call you father-in-law again later! Maybe I'll also be banned from working again.”
Suddenly Yadid straightened his body to hear the words of his daughter and stared at the screen of his cell phone. His eyes widened to see that it was an incoming call from the Emir. He quickly grabbed his phone and answered the call.
“Halo, Mr. Emir. Sorry I was late answering his phone.” said Yadid nervously. How could he ignore the call from his daughter-in-law.
“Dad, I'd like to invite you to lunch. Is dad busy today?”
“Ma—lunch?” ask Yadid.
“Iya daddy. Me and Arimbi usually have lunch together and today I want to invite dad to lunch with us. Arimbi once said that I would love to eat at The Palm Bliss Hotel. We used to have lunch there so dad could join us. How?”
“Oh...oh..iya yes can. I must have come. Um.. thank you Mr. Emir for the invitation.”
“Don't hesitate father. I just want to have lunch with my wife and father-in-law. This will make Arimbi happy. Besides there's something I want to talk to dad about this afternoon.”
“Uhm. If you may know what you want to talk to me about?” tanya Yadid was a bit shaky for fear that the problems she was facing would affect the Emir's assessment of her company.
“Just calm dad. Not bad, but the opposite. If you can also invite my mother-in-law to come to lunch together! Can dad?” ask Emir.
“Good...good..I will tell him. He must be very happy because he also actually wants to invite you to lunch together.”
“It's okay dad. Then I'll see you later in the afternoon.”
“Dad?”
“Hah! Arimbi, it was Mr. Emir who called to take your father and mother to lunch together. I have to tell your mother first, so she can come here so we can go together later.”
Arimbi smiled, maybe the Emir already knows what the Rafaldi Group is going through and he invited his parents to lunch to please them.
The sound of the notifications on Arimbi's phone disperse his daydream. He quickly saw the message he had just entered. He then glanced at his father who was on the phone with his mother. Then Arimbi opened a message from his best friend Joana.
“I'm following Amanda! Ah, it feels good to be a detective!”
“Arimbi...guess where Amanda went? Looks like he's headed out of town. You said he was going to meet a company that canceled the partnership, right?”
Arimbi immediately replied to Joana's message, reminding her friend to be careful and not to be discovered. He also recalled their plans for later tonight.

“Each Mistress Boss! I've arranged everything. Your job is to get Amanda's phone!”
“Yes God! Amanda met Reza the jerk! Ha ha ha I've got her picture!”
Arimbi glared at the message that had just entered his phone. ‘Amanda found Reza? What does Reza have to do with all this mess? Are they the two who have done this? I should be able to get Amanda's phone when she gets back. But how is it? Well, Joana just gave the idea of tapping the phone everything.’ whispered his heart.
...*************...
Joana parked her car some distance from Reza's villa. By using hoodies and face masks he made to perfect his disguise. His expertise during this time photographing people is indeed useful this time. He quickly rushed to find a way into the villa area so that no one else could see. Fortunately, the villa was a long way from the other villas.
Suddenly, a slightly fat woman appeared out of the villa and looked around like she wanted to make sure of something. Then the woman left the villa after closing the door. Fortunately Joana quickly hid in a hoard of fence plants so it was not visible.
“Pffff! Just barely! Now I have to move fast. You're Amanda! All your cunning will soon be exposed! Ha ha ha ha....you won't be able to perform forever!’ joana murmured in her heart as she ducked her way closer to the villa. He peeked a little through the window into the villa which happened to have its curtain cloth not closed.
He could see clearly inside. While occasionally Joana turned her eyes to the front just in case the woman came back again. ‘Fuuuh! There's no one! Where did Amanda and Reza go?’ the whisper then moved to the back. He kept trying to look through the window but it seemed like on the first floor there was no one.
‘If they are not on the first floor means they are on the top floor! Ouch..lumayan high balcony. I have to climb! Uh, let me try first through the back where the back door is open so I don't have to climb.’
With Joana quickly moving, she was unwilling to waste any more time. When he came to the back door and saw through the window that it was the kitchen and there was no one there. Joana tries to open the locked back door. With his skill he managed to open the iron door, then he tried to open the wooden door.
‘I have to hurry! Don't miss the main scene! Wow the camera must be installed first or how?’ he was silent for a moment after he managed to open the wooden door and then thought what his next move would be. Joana patted her forehead then chuckled to herself. He quickly opened the door slowly without a sound and then closed it back to make it easier to get out later.
He looked up at the stairs leading to the top floor. Because the ceiling is too high, it will be a little difficult to install the camera there. Finally Joana decided to tuck the small camera in the corner of the room precisely in the painting on the wall. The color of the camera coincidentally fits the color of the blue painting so it is not striking.
After that Joana put up one more camera, then she rushed up the stairs. When he got there were three rooms. With a slow step he approached the first room near the stairs. Putting his ear on the door. She heard voices from inside the room, Joana smiled as she did not have to tire of checking the other rooms.
He found his target. His eyes looked at the handle of the door that was not closed completely. Her little gloved hand touched the door and opened slowly.
