My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 54

"Surge! You don't deserve to help Zetta!" snapped Theo who was currently already standing beside Zetta and embracing his body.

Keenan was inflamed when he heard the scene, moreover the sight that was presented also made him sore eyes.

"What do you mean say I'm inappropriate? Do not keep you close to him and can act as you please. Remember, she's my ex-wife. We had a very close relationship, you know!" Keenan's voice rose an octave. He was offended by Theo's words just now.

Theo's eyes squinted as he looked at Keenan's expression that was shrouded in emotion. What a selfish man. After first ignoring her, now come closer and pretend to care. So nauseating.

"Before you are angry and affirm that your relationship is limited to ex, try to pay attention to the actions of your dream lover first. What happened to Zetta this time, he's the one who knows better." Theo spoke while pointing at Helia, who was standing next to Keenan.

"You must not accuse me recklessly! I'm just skating, it has nothing to do with him. If he had fallen, it might have been his poor ability" replied Helia as she folded her arms around her chest. His eyes looked down at Zetta.

"I'm not blind! I know you accidentally hit Zetta! Although I don't have any proof of recording, but people here know a lot. I can take them as a witness if you keep fighting!" exclaimed Theo, his patience is almost exhausted when dealing with Helia, the most cunning woman he has ever known.

Helia waver, it was completely unexpected that Theo could see everything. Nervously Helia looked at Keenan, and her lover was looking at her as if asking for an explanation. Inevitably Helia reviewed an awkward smile to melt the atmosphere.

"I was surfing too fast, so .. didn't realize I was grazing Zetta. I'm sorry, I accidentally made you fall" he said, staring at Zetta. He had to pretend to calm Keenan.

Zetta twirled the eyeballs with a puff. It was so good to play, he thought. But because he was tired of dealing with Helia, Zetta no longer extended the matter. He immediately forgave Helia and said that it was not a problem.

"Let's go!" After she finished talking to Helia, Zetta took Theo by the hand and took her away from there. However, the man refused and remained standing in his place.

Seeing the attitude of Theo who did not want to leave, Zetta immediately whispered something in his ear.

"Barusan Director sent me a message. He's not here right now, but he's at the hotel. I heard Rayden was having some business at the hotel. I don't want him to see the Director. Theo, Rayden and Keenan are best friends. Don't let them sabotage the acquisition we've planned. We gotta move fast."

Hearing that, Theo immediately regained his senses and agreed to Zetta's invitation. Then, they went and left the skating rink regardless of Helia and Keenan again.

Shortly after leaving the premises, Zetta arrived at the hotel and met the director of the company to be acquired. The two talked about the acquisition issue, and unfortunately ended up with a rejection. Zetta was upset and disappointed, but couldn't do much. In fact, he could only shut up when the director ended the conversation and left him.

"It's very difficult to face this person" Zetta said in her heart. He was silent for a moment while twitching his suddenly dizzy head.

After a long time of hard thinking, Zetta again remembered the man who did a one night stand with her. Then, one clue started appearing in his brain.

"It looks like that person knows the Director well. Maybe I can get some help by calling her," Zetta murmured to herself.

Zetta then ventured to send a message to the man who was none other than Keenan.

'Hello, Mister. Are you busy? Can we talk seriously?'

Unexpectedly, the message was immediately replied to.

'Coincidentally not. Why?'

'It seems you know pesonal the director who will acquire his company with me. Right?'

Return message get reply.

'Yes? Why?'

'Then, I would like to ask you for help regarding the Director.'

'What can I help you with?'

Zetta smiled faintly. She thought he would not help her, but apparently she was willing.

Zetta again wrote a message for the man, and this time the message was quite long. He explained in detail how he negotiated with the director. Negotiations that go awry and end in rejection.

Shortly after the message was sent, Zetta again got a reply containing an analysis and a solution to what Zetta should do.

For the second time, Zetta's smile expands. Now he knows what to do with the director for the company's acquisition to be approved.

'Thank you, Sir. I know what I have to do. By the way, may I know your name?' Zetta sent a message back.

'Same-sama. You can call me Duck.'

Zetta slightly knitted her brows. Duck means duck. Looks like the guy doesn't want his real identity to be known to Zetta.

"All right, it's okay. I know quite well his name is Duck," muttered Zetta while keeping his phone.

After a while, Zetta then again invited Theo to see the director.

Initially, the director somewhat objected and was reluctant to see Zetta. But because he continued to be persuaded, he finally agreed to Zetta's request and gave him one more chance. The two agreed to meet at dinner time at a restaurant.

***

The hour hand showed that at 07:00 p.m., Zetta and Theo arrived at the promised restaurant with the director. In this meeting, Zetta and Theo prepare everything more maturely. Hopefully, the proposed acquisition goes smoothly and the final decision as desired.

A few minutes after Zetta got there, the long-awaited director finally arrived as well. The three threw smiles at each other and made small talk for a moment. Then, Zetta began to negotiate according to Duck's direction this afternoon.

As long as Zetta spoke, the director nodded and listened carefully.

"It's amazing, Miss Zetta," he said when Zetta was done.

Zetta smiled faintly, "Thank you. So, how's your decision, sir?"

The director did not answer. He first took a deep breath, after which leaned back while crossing one leg. His gaze was fixed and had not been moved from Zetta since.

"Your negotiating style is very similar to someone's" the director said. He gave a somewhat distorted response to the question Zetta asked.

Zetta and Theo looked at each other, then both frowned as they were confused by the director's words.

"really? If you can tell, who is that guy?" ask Zetta curiously.

"Keenan Pieters."

The answer from the director made Zetta speechless and think hard. Unasked, her memory goes back to the man who named himself Duck.

"Could it be Keenan?" inner Zetta with a slightly hardened expression.
