My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 9

"How, have you read the news?" daniel asked Keenan after a while. The man was still loyal across the street.

"Keenan? You all right?" daniel asked once more when Keenan had not responded to the previous question.

"Yes." Yeah." Keenan finally had no choice but to answer.

"Jeez, you're just worrying me. I think now you've jumped off the balcony of your room because you're depressed" Daniel said, chuckling. He is very sure if currently Keenan has read the news that is going viral.

"Shut your mouth, Daniel. Why should I be depressed?" Keenan refuted in annoyance. At the moment he is very emotional, but of course he does not want his friend to know

"It's good that you're okay. It turns out that you are stronger and stronger than I imagined" Daniel said in a mocking tone. The rarity was also still heard from his mouth. It seems like the news of Zetta's relationship with an up-and-coming model is really funny and entertaining for Daniel.

"Stop that shit of yours" Keenan said.

Instead of stopping, Daniel even more chuckling made. He knew very well how Keenan had always treated Zetta so coldly. He also knew of the care of the Keenan family so arbitrarily towards Zetta. Daniel thought Zetta would be Keenan's slave for life. Unexpectedly, now women choose to separate from Keenan, spiced up the story of an affair with a rising model as well.

"But, Keenan, I was really curious and wanted to ask you one thing" Daniel said.

"What?"

"How does it feel to be cheated on?"

From the other end of the phone, can Daniel hear Keenan breathing rough. Of course it immediately made Danile laugh again crisply.

"I may not be as good as you, but all my life, I've never been cheated on. That's why I was curious and asked you what it felt like to be cheated on." Daniel gave his mockery while chuckling.

"It seems you're out of your mind." Keenan responded coldly.

"Of course I'm still very sane, so I can take good care of my woman so that I never turn away from her. What a pity that you have lost Zetta now, when she was a sweet wife. But I think it's your fault, too, anyway. Why have you not paid the least attention to him. She turned to another man who gave her attention."

Daniel's words have a point. During this time Keenan was too indifferent to Zetta, so that over time the woman's love for Keenan faded until it finally disappeared completely. But even so, what does Keenan care? He doesn't love his ex-wife either, does he?

"Keenan, if I were you, it would seem that I should prepare to move to Mars only. Being around that wife feels really embarrassing to a man. For some reason, it really feels like we're a very useless man."

"Stop your obscure rant right now. Otherwise, don't blame me if when we meet later I'll make your face unrecognizable" Keenan growled rather menacingly.

Instead of being afraid, Daniel was even more burdenless. Of course Keenan was made even more annoyed by the man. If only they did not remember their friendship that has been established for a long time, maybe now Keenan has made calculations with him.

"OK, okay, sorry to upset you. I actually called you to tell me something. But before that, I'd like to ask you a question. Did you know that Zetta has reserved a restaurant?" Daniel asked in a more serious tone.

"What's? Reserving a restaurant?" ask Keenan not to believe it.

"Yes, and he invited me to come over there" Daniel added.

***

The day that Zetta invited Daniel finally arrived. The man came to meet Zetta's invitation on time and immediately sat down at one of the restaurant's tables. But apparently Zetta invited not only Daniel. The restaurant looked quite crowded, as if Zetta was currently hosting a party.

Zetta's approaching Daniel. He knew very well that if he wanted to enter and investigate the Helia family company, he needed Daniel's family background. That was why he was willing to bother inviting the man at this moment.

As a form of courtesy, Zetta came and brought Daniel a glass of drink. But apparently Daniel's response was not friendly.

"I'm really curious why you invited me so specifically like this. But to be honest, I'm really not interested in any kind of relationship with a girl like you." Daniel sounded half-mockingly.

"Women like me? What kind of woman am I?" ask Zetta.

Daniel did not reply, but the look in his eyes right now on Zetta looked like a condescending look.

"Is it possible that you're judging me subjectively just because you're Keenan's friend?" ask Zetta again.

Again Daniel only returned a faint smile. In his heart he felt that Zetta who was in front of him at this time was very much different from Zetta who became Keenan's wife.

"It's a shame, when in fact I have an offer that is very interesting for you.a cooperation that will be very profitable for both of us," added Zetta again.

"I've said, I'm not interested in any relationship with you" Daniel refused, showing a lazy expression, pretending to be disinterested.

This time it was Zetta who had an asymmetrical smile on Daniel.

"When I have a piece of information that your company desperately needs, but if you don't want to get in touch with me, I'm forced to invite the other party to work with me.

"What information?" Daniel's a little hooked.

"Of course I won't tell anyone who won't cooperate with me." Zetta refused to tell.

"By the way, your company is not doing well right now, is it?"

Daniel's eyes were slightly widened. Where can Zetta know about the state of his company, even though the shareholders have not been informed for a while so that there is no chaos in the internal company?

"Defusing to relate to me just because you're Keenan's friend is a very wrong decision, Mr. Daniel. Your friendship will not save your company if it gets worse, but the information I have is very useful for your company. I'm sure you'll be very, very sorry for refusing my handshake straight." Zetta warns. Of course it was enough to make Daniel feel worried even though he still remained unmoved.

Shortly after, Alex is seen approaching Zetta and Daniel.

Zetta's smile grew bright as Alex approached her. The two of them spoke to each other with faces that seemed to love each other, of course it was seen from Daniel's glasses. But clearly, Zetta and Alex do look like a couple, really harmonious.

The corner of Daniel's lips twitched withstanding a smile. In his heart he was very sorry why Keenan did not come to see the scenery in front of him at this time.
