Illusion of Destiny
Tender Failure.

...ILLUSION OF DESTINY 18...

Maura returned to work, though she was eager to resign from her company. His resignation letter was rejected raw by HRD on the grounds that Maura could not cancel the cooperation contract he had signed within the next 1 year. Not to mention the problems between her and Rojer, making Maura want to immediately disappear from city x. But everything has been in vain the truth that has been hidden is now revealed just like that. If he resigns from office, Rojer will follow him and chase him to the end of the world. Maura is also actually very comfortable working in this office, making her want to stay here. Whether or not he was in the office all the truth had also been revealed so it made no difference at all.

Maura started typing her fingers again. Separate between his personal affairs and his work. He has to work with a professional in the office.

"Maura, "call Mrs. Gresia made Maura turn her eyes to her.

"Yes Mrs. Is there anything I can help you with??" Maura stood up from her seat.

"Every year our office holds tender cooperation with foreign parties, in accordance with their respective divisions. And this year our division got the opportunity to cooperate with foreign parties. So for that after considering everything, I think you are the one who is suitable to represent our division, to create cooperation files and also presentations in H later." Said Mrs. Gresia submitted some reference files to Maura. Hearing such a big thing made Maura feel flattered to be given such an honorable task. Not wanting to miss out on the great opportunity Maura directly agreed to Mrs' offer. Gresia.

"This is a great opportunity for me Mrs. Of course I'll take it with pleasure." Maura said enthusiastically.

From the corner of the room there was an eye figure who was paying attention to the conversation between Maura and Mrs. Gresia with eyes full of hatred. With his clenched hand loudly implied anger.

...----------------...

With determination and strong conviction. Maura worked hard to complete the cooperation file entrusted to her. Maura pours her creative ideas, because the passing of the tender with foreign parties depends on its performance. So Maura tried not to disappoint those who already believed in her.

"Ma.. lately mama... really busy??" Said Charlote sitting near Maura, who brought her office work home.

" Yes my mom is very busy.. Because my mother was given the opportunity to handle a big project. So mom has to work hard.. So that later mama can get a tender for the company." Maura said with a smile.

"Yes, ma.... does my mother often meet with papa in the office??" charlote asked in a slightly hesitant tone asking that question.

"No. Your father is a CEO and mama is just an ordinary employee, where can mama and papa often meet. Anyway mama's hoping she and mama won't meet at the office." Maura said with a relaxed attitude.

"Ma. I have a request." Said Charlote in a slightly clear tone.

" Say!! what does this beloved mother want?? hmh." Maura asked turned her gaze to Charlote while stroking Charlote's head gently.

"Ma.. Charlote wants you to accept papa huh.. My dear father to my mother.." Said Charlote, which made Maura a little disappointed by Charlote's request that was not feasible to do so.

"Your mother is busy, go to your room and sleep tomorrow you go to school." Maura refocused on her work, and ordered Charlote to go to sleep. Hearing Maura who switched the conversation, made Charlote decide to give time for Maura to be willing to accept Rojer in their lives.

...----------------...

A long-awaited and thrilling day for Maura arrives. Where he's going to do a big presentation in the meeting room today. For the past few days he has been working hard to create an attractive bidding file for foreign parties. Maura hopes everything will go as expected, and will get the tender.

"May all go well!!" Maura's murmur dispelled his nervousness. While checking his work files in the prep room.

"Maura!!" Call Mrs. Gresia.

"Yes mrs." Maura replied briefly.

"Can you get me the bid file on my desk??"

"Good.. Mrs. I'll take it" said Maura rushed to retrieve the file that Mrs meant. Gresia. Before the foreigner arrives.

...----------------...

The meeting that we were waiting for finally began. The quiet meeting room and the participants who were waiting for Rojer to start this important meeting.

Rojer walked into the meeting room with Edent following him behind him.

"Good morning everyone!!" Said Rojer greeting the entire meeting and then sitting in the CEO's chair.

"Let's just say it.. Mrs. Maura from the marketing division to renew our cooperation." The MC said that allowed Maura to start his presentation in the future.

Rojer kept looking at Maura from the moment he entered the meeting room. I don't know since when he started to be fascinated with everything about Maura.

With a little nervous Maura stepped forward to the LCD screen that was already on. He opened the cooperation file he made with his hard work.

"Thank you to everyone who has given me the opportunity to do a collaborative presentation. I hope the foreigner will feel interested in the sales concept that I will explain." Maura said giving a welcome.

Maura clicked on some files on her laptop and appeared on the LCD screen. Maura began to explain in a clear and kind way. He did not pay attention to the laptop screen or the LCD that was behind him. He was so soluble in explaining his work files without paying attention to everyone's gaze which implied confusion seeing the LCD display, which does not display the concept of cooperation described by Maura but displays adult images that are indecent. Making the foreign party as well as all the members of the meeting so do not understand what Maura shows. And each of their faces was implied by the shame, disappointment, and anger that was clearly visible on the faces of the foreigners. Realizing something was wrong with their gazes, Maura stopped her presentation. Maura did not understand the meaning of everyone's gaze.

Maura looked towards Rojer who was throwing his face away. Maura looked at the foreign party implying some annoyance, and the company employees who displayed puzzled faces. Maura really did not understand the meaning of their gaze.

"We're very disappointed with what your company did Mr. Rojer. We didn't imagine anything like this could happen in your company. We came here to discuss cooperation with you. But you've presented us with things we don't deserve to see.We never thought you'd insult us." Said one of the meeting members from a foreign party in a tone of disappointment and anger, while pointing at the LCD screen.

Maura turned towards the LCD screen. He really did not believe what he saw. On the LCD screen does not display the laborious cooperation files it creates, but rather indecent adult images.

"What's going on... Why it could be like this. This isn't a cooperation file I've created." Lirih Maura asked why the file he made turned into an image that is not worth looking at.

"I'm sorry... Once again I apologize for the mistakes and mistakes on our part. Again, I apologize to all of you for what happened. For that I will pay the final compensation to your company." Said Rojer clenched his hand to apologize lnatas the incident. Then get out of the meeting room in anger. Seeing Rojer's anger and suddenly coming out of the meeting room after apologizing, Maura felt guilty.

A pair of eyes with a smiling face, seeing Maura humiliated in front of an important tender. He was satisfied with what happened to Maura.

...----------------...

In his room Rojer was standing looking out of the building. See the view of the city from the room, which is partly made of glass so that it displays the beauty of the city x.

Maura who felt guilty to Rojer, to the point of making him have to submit and apologize to the foreign party, made her chest feel tight. Maura decides to meet Rojer and apologizes for what happened.

"How come this happened, I checked the file before I went into the meeting room. huhhh!" Inner Maura, while stepping towards the Rojer room.

Tok..tok.(door knocking sound).

"Get in!!" Said Rojer coldly.

"I want to apologize for what happened in the meeting room. I don't know why all this could happen." Maura said feeling guilty.

"You may be the mother of my son. But that doesn't mean I forgive you because what you've done has put the company to shame. And the outsiders canceled their cooperation, and I'm the one who has to pay the final. I don't understand why you can humiliate me like that. You can repay me with all the suffering you face because of my mistakes. But I never imagined that you would repay me this way." Rojer said in annoyance.

"I really don't know why it all happened. I checked the file carefully before I entered the meeting room." Maura defended herself.

"You checked it or not it doesn't mean anything. In the end you humiliated the company with your carelessness."

"Once again forgive me..."

"I can't just forgive you for the mistakes you've made. You are an employee in this company. Like other employees I will give you 2 choices, you can choose it and decide for yourself. The first option, you will pay a final of 10 trillion to foreign parties and 10 trillion to the company. And the second option you can replace it by working for me. I'll pay for all those finals in exchange you'll work for me." Rojer turned towards maura.

Hearing the finale that must be paid, makes Maura dizzy with the number of finals that must be paid by him. with compulsion and after thinking Maura decided to take a decision on Rojer's offer.

"I. I will choose the second option, I will work for you until all my debts are paid to you." Said Maura who chose the second offer from Rojer.

"The right choice.." Rojer said with satisfaction, because Maura chose the right choice.
