The Bastard Mafia (Falling In Love)
Why is he here too?
Jennifer hummed a little indoors, her gaze bent on the documents she was studying to meet her business clients at the restaurant at lunchtime. I don't know what makes Jennifer look happy, because since morning spread a smile to add to the beauty of the woman.
"Miss, here's another document we should bring with us later." Jane came in after knocking on the door and was welcomed in by her Miss Director.
"Ehm, just put it on the table, Jane." Jennifer nodded without looking at her secretary.
"Good...." Jane's hand placed the document on the table and then focused her attention on the radiant Jennifer. "It looks like Miss is happy? Is there something I don't know, Miss?" tanyanya is still observing.
Hearing Jane's words, Jennifer raised her face. "Do they look so obvious?" And Jane answered him with a nod of her head.
Jennifer smiled, she closed the document and looked at Jane. "Before meeting our client, I'll have lunch with Billy."
"Gee, very good news, miss. It's worth it yesterday Mr. Billy was looking into Miss's empty schedule." It coincides with Billy having just returned from Manchester because of his job.
"Yes, yesterday he told me. He asked about the man I was with."
"Then Miss answered what?"
"Is there a reason I shouldn't tell him, Jane? Of course I'm telling the truth that the man I'm with is the bodyguard sent by brother."
Jane just nodded. Since two weeks ago, Mr. Billy has not been seen in the company and they just found out if Billy's schedule is that dense and must travel to another city.
Feeling no more conversation, Jane resigned. It would be impolite if he wanted to know more about Miss Director's romance, unless Miss Jennifer asked him for advice first.

With long strides, Jennifer's foot levelled towards the dining table where the client was waiting for her. Because an hour ago the meeting schedule changed at an acceleration before lunch time because the client will go out of town this afternoon as well.
"Jane, aren't there any documents left behind?" Jennifer slowed her pace, she asked ascertain, because the ones they met were important clients who would invest in the Romanov Ent company.
"I've made sure no documents are left behind Miss" Jane replied calmly. He has several times checked several documents, and can be sure all complete.
"Well then, we can't keep our clients waiting any longer."
"Yes Miss."
The second step is accelerated to look two men who stand up as soon as they see Jennifer and Jane. Jennifer seems confused because as far as she knows her client is a man who is 50 years old but now who welcomes her is a secretary and also a young man tall and quite handsome.
"Good day Miss Jennifer" said the man.
"During noon, sir...." Jennifer seems confused because she does not know the man in front of her, do they misidentify someone or they are wrong chair? thought.
"Ah, yes Miss Jennifer must be confused because this is the first time we met. My name is Gerard." She reached out to Jennifer, and was welcomed by Jennifer, just moments before the two let go of each other. "Before I represented on behalf of my father, I apologize, he could not keep the promise as agreed from the beginning because he had to go out of town because of his health condition, so I replaced my father," he explained later
Jennifer understood, she nodded slowly. It is fitting that he felt that there was something different about Mr. Gilbert today, it was his son who represented their cooperation.
"Then please sit Miss Jennifer and Miss Secretary." Gerard allowed Jennifer and Jane to sit down and then the two beauties pulled up chairs together and landed her body on a chair after Gerard and the male secretary also sat down.
"I've read the document about the investment agreement in the Romanov Ent Company before, and frankly I've known a lot about the company since the lunge of Miss three years ago." Jennifer watched Gerard speaking out loud, his heavy voice echoing there. "And of course my father and I are interested in long-term investment in the Miss Company not without reason or because of the background of the Romanov Group, but because we like the way Miss Jennifer leads the company and brings the employees to work together to improve the quality of the Company."
Jennifer and Jane looked at each other for a moment, both of whom seemed happy when they heard the compliment. "Mr Gerard overestimated our company, Romanov Ent is only a small part of other companies, can not be compared with CEA Corp which already has many branches."
Hearing Jennifer's words, Gerard chuckles a little. "CEA Corp is still inferior compared to Romanov Group." Who does not know and know the big companies that already have several branches in three different countries.
Jennifer just smiled awkwardly, according to him CEA Corp is no less big, but there is no way she has to argue such a trivial thing. "Ah yes, Mr. Gerard can ask anything about our company."
"Alright, although a small part of it I've heard of Romanov Ent, but I want to hear it in person." Gerard observed Jennifer's very beautiful face, since both eyes seemed to be slumped since the presence of the woman but as much as possible he had to be professional.
Jennifer and Jane take turns informing the mission vision of Romanov Ent, and the two answer questions posed by Gerard and his secretary. Gerard looks mature, it is undeniable that the man has a little personality like the brother, the way of speech and delivery is very soft and wise.
"Then there is no need to doubt anything. I believe in Romanov Ent." Highlight Gerard's resolute eyes had already proved that the man was absolutely certain of his decision. And then Gerard signed a letter of agreement investing in the Romanov Ent company.
"Right you said, despite being young, Miss Jennifer has good skills and can be a good leader."
Once again the compliments that Jennifer got, she could only smile. "I still have a lot to learn from a big business like Mr. Gerard." Jennifer is not a woman who blushes easily, I don't know the woman does have low sensitivity.
Gerard smiled, and then slightly unfolded the sleeves of the shirt to look at the circular watch in his hand. The time has shown at 12 noon it is time for lunch. "So, Miss, since it's lunchtime, would Miss Jennifer mind if we had lunch together?" Gerard hesitates when he offers to have lunch together.
Jennifer actually felt bad if she refused an invitation from her business partner, but she already had an appointment first. "Sorry Mr. Gerard, I have an appointment this afternoon, so maybe next time."
Gerard walks out of the restaurant, while Jennifer and Jane head into the private room. Yeah, Jennifer's gonna meet Billy at the same restaurant. But his steps slowly slowed down when he saw the familiar figure of the man who had just entered the restaurant walking in the opposite direction to him, the man was seen contacting someone and his face looked very serious. The man is none other than Nico and Jennifer made dumbfounded by the appearance of Nico who looks more handsome and dashing like a businessman in general.
Either because the man's gaze was covered by the sunglasses he was wearing or Nico pretended not to see her so that the man passed Jennifer by. Jennifer held Jane's arm, she wanted to make sure she didn't recognize Nico wrongly. If the man is Nico why not greet him or as usual bother him? Is this the reason Nico can't keep himself for two days.
"Jane, is it possible that I've been wrong?"
Jane's step stopped immediately accompanied by a frown. "I mean Miss?"
"Didn't you recognize the man who just passed us?" jennifer and Jane exclaimed with a headband.
Jennifer breathed her breath into the air. "Is it possible that the man only bears a resemblance to Nico?"
Jane is increasingly confused, she does see the figure of a man who just passed them but she is not so clearly paying attention to him. "Are you sure that man is Mr Nico?" tanyanya. "It's possible that their faces are just similar" he continued.
Jemari Jennifer scratched her forehead, at this moment she was completely confused but a moment later raised her shoulders. "There's no need to think about it." Then continue their steps back to the private room.
***
Spacious and elegant, that's the picture of a private room that now has a man in it. The man stood up and greeted Jennifer with a smile. The man is Billy, a lover who has been unpublished.
"Darling, have you come?" And then he hugged Jennifer, making Jennifer awkward because in the room there was also Jane, but Jennifer still returned Billy's embrace.
"I've been coming since, because I also just met a client at this restaurant" he said when the two broke down a hug.
"really? Is your client a man?" Billy still feels jealous whenever Jennifer meets with her clients.
"Yes, he's a young CEO." And Jennifer's answer successfully made Billy sigh heavily. It felt like he wanted to announce about their relationship, despite having to face the older brother of his lover but saw the face of Jennifer who kept begging him so he let their relationship unknown to others.
Jennifer chuckled, realizing that her boyfriend was jealous. "Don't think things through. We're just talking about cooperation."
Billy nodded, he did not want to fight if discussing unimportant things, Billy wanted to spend a little time to let go of longing. Billy and Jennifer sat side by side, while Jane sat at the other table in the room.
When they met there were indeed things discussed, from their introduction at university to Billy telling about his work that two weeks was very crowded.
Their conversation was forced to stop because Billy's phone rang, he forgot to change the silent mode on his phone. "In the meantime, I'll answer first." Billy took the phone he put on the table, saw the name on his phone of course he was surprised.
Clarise? What'd he call me for? Billy only smiles when he finds Jennifer snorting sharply at him, making Billy just ignore the call from Clarisa.
"Why not get caught?" jennifer asked, curious.
"It doesn't matter, baby." Billy rubbed the back of Jennifer's hand, again their activity had to stop because of the sound of incoming messages on Billy's phone.
The message was immediately read by Billy, and how surprised he was when he read the message that turned out from Clarisa.
"Darling, maybe this will surprise you, but I have no choice but to ask him to come inside here."Billy spoke as softly as possible.
"You mean?" Jennifer's eyebrows are confused, what really happened?
"You'll find out later." Billy's answer certainly did not make Jennifer more curious. But the sound of knocking on the door distracts them, so Jane has to open the door.
Jane was quite surprised to find a figure standing in front of the door. When the door opened by half, Jennifer's reaction was as shocked as Jane's.
Why is he here too?
