"Well, I accept the cooperation you offer. I'll help you build a company in exchange for half of the land."
Zetta widened her eyes when she heard the response from the land department team. Without any more negotiations, they immediately agreed with the offer Zetta gave. Zetta also smiled widely, not expecting that the discussion this time would go very smoothly. Duck's advice is reliable.
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to work with you" Zetta said, extending a hand and shaking with the department's team representatives, which Theo later joined.
"We're also happy to work with you." The representative of the department team replied to Zetta's remark in no way less courteous.
After reaching the deal, Zetta and Theo resigned because there were no problems in the construction of the company. They just wait for the time of execution.
Zetta was very pleased with the result. His steps were so light when he came out of the department's office, as well as a smile, seemed to continue on his lips.
"To celebrate our success this time, how about dinner together?" theo asked as the two were about to arrive in the car.
"All right." Without thinking, Zetta immediately nodded and agreed to Theo's invitation.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since they had gone together, the last time was in the bath the other day.
"Hopefully, when you leave, you won't see Helia again." Zetta nodded as she got into the car, considering that wherever she went all this time, she always met the cunning woman.
His sigh sounded heavy as he recalled Keenan and Helia, already tired of him dealing with them. I don't know why they keep meeting. So sucks.

Evening day came. As planned this afternoon, Zetta and Theo will now go out to eat. Zetta looks beautiful in a graceful dress. He sat next to Theo who was driving. Both are on their way to a restaurant.
Along the way, Zetta and Theo kept talking. Occasionally also joking and laughing together, so as not to get bored even though the streets are quite crowded and inhibit the speed of the car they carry.
Almost an hour later, Theo and Zetta had just arrived at the courtyard of the restaurant. The two stopped the conversation and got out of the car together.
"Come on." Theo clasped Zetta's hand and they entered the restaurant.
Just a few steps Zetta set foot in that place, her smile immediately disappeared and changed into a sense of annoyance. What else would it be if it wasn't Helia and Keenan. The two people he had avoided the most, were there tonight as well. What a sickening coincidence.
"Zetta," said Keenan.
Zetta nodded and smiled faintly, as a mere form of manners. Originally, he was very upset and wanted to go all the way from Keenan's presence.
Not much different from Zetta, Theo and Helia were also upset. They did not greet with words, merely throwing a wry smile as a formality. Then, Theo immediately grabbed Zetta's shoulder and led her to an empty table.
Seeing that, Keenan immediately threw away a glance. He doesn't like to see Theo hugging Zetta, but he can't do anything either. Zetta doesn't belong to her anymore, they're just strangers now.
Seeing Keenan's murky look on the face, Helia's eyes squinted for a moment. He hated the sight, not willing at all if Keenan harbored jealousy for Zetta.
"We're also sitting down, yuk!" Helia grabbed Keenan by the arm and guided him to an empty table not far away.
Keenan slightly sighed and followed Helia with resignation. Seeing so intimate Zetta and Theo earlier, his mood suddenly became bad.
Meanwhile, on her own desk Zetta appears to put on an annoyed look. I can't figure out why all the time I see Keenan and Helia. He wondered, was that his life?
"Of course, don't keep thinking. The important thing is that you be careful with him, do not let yesterday's incident happen again," said Theo appease Zetta.
Zetta shook her head, "I'm just surprised. Of all the people I know, why should they be again? I'm really tired of meeting them, even if they can just disappear forever, don't have to show up again. But what happened was just the opposite. Meet again, meet again. I'm so sick of it."
"I understand how you feel. But what can we do? We didn't plan any of this either, did we?" Theo stared at Zetta for quite a while.
"Have it, don't ignore it. Don't let your mood break just because of this. Remember, we came here to celebrate our success. So, you have to be happy, dong" he continued.
Hearing Theo's words, Zetta's annoyance was somewhat lessened. He was able to smile and enjoy the dish he had just served.
After a few minutes had passed, Theo and Zetta had already finished their meal. Zetta pounced to the bathroom for a bit, while Theo waited at the table sipping the remaining drinks.
Arriving in the bathroom, Zetta again had bad luck. There was already Helia who was fixing her makeup. Zetta glanced at him at a glance, then turned the eyeballs in a careless manner. He also grumbled and cursed inwardly, his current annoyance had already reached a high level.
While Zetta still calms down and pretends to be indifferent, Helia does something even more sickening. He approached Zetta and spoke with a contrived expression.
"Zetta, how are you doing now? I'm sorry, but after that day I haven't had a chance to look again."
In order to compensate for Helia's always two-faced attitude, Zetta responded to the remark with a crisp laugh.
"I've got the land compensation, so of course I'm doing well. And it would be even better if you leave now and don't bother me" Zetta said firmly and loudly.
Helia gritted her teeth, so hate that she was treated like that. His hands were clenched, as if ready to throw a slap. However, Zetta was not afraid at all. He instead glared sharply and chased away Helia for the second time.
Helia finally came out of the toilet with a sour face.
Zetta just shook her head. Not wanting to know anymore with Helia, the important thing is that she leaves from before him.
But unbeknownst to Zetta, Helia steps out while covering her nose and mouth. He held out strongly for a long time, until he was out of breath and fainted. I don't know what else he's planning this time.
On the other hand, Keenan started to get restless. Helia had been gone long enough, but had not returned. She was worried, afraid something might happen to her lover.
"Where's Helia? Not that just wanted to fix makeup, then why so long?" Keenan stared at the circular clockwork on his arm, already fifteen minutes Helia was gone.
Finally, Keenan got up and stepped towards the bathroom. He decided to look for Helia there and make sure that the woman was okay.
