"Come in!" Joona asked to open the door. David nodded and walked in before Joona closed the door.
"You know, bro, Tiara likes you not me." Joona just snorted a little laugh.
"I've said to you many times, I think her as my own sister, nothing more." David nodded and took a chair to start his breakfast.
"Just eat, I genuinely give it to you," added Joona again with a little laugh. David smiled and started eating. Joona starts his job today by unrolling the paper for his latest smart TV design. Arjoona is still a bit conventional even though he can use special computer applications to design and draw, but handmade design drawings are the best.
"Bro, will you perform at the club tonight?" David asked, finished chewing, and drinking.
"Why, do you want to see me perform?" asked Arjoona as he started to sit down and look at the design papers.
"Yes, I cound do that once a while, I can give you my cheers." David was still stirring the rice as he spoke. Arjoona frowned then turned to glance at David, who sat behind him.
"Do you think I am taking a singing competition! after all, you don't like hip-hop, what are you doing watching me rapping?"
"If you perform even you sing dangdut, I'll watch it." Arjoona laughed, shaking his head.
"Ah, You got me!. Tell me how are you doing now, how's your mom?" asked Arjoona while drawing. David sighed heavily.
"Nothing change, my mother has to be operated on as the doctor said, that's the only way." Arjoona nodded and let out a breath.
"I'll talk to the company to give you the loan, okay?" David smiled.
"Thanks bro, you are the best." Arjoona just breathed with a smile.
After breakfast, David quickly came out of Arjoona's room, his boss, and returned to work as a production worker's supervisor. Arjoona began transferring his design to the computer screen. When times like this, he can spend hours fiddling with the laptop with a large screen in front of him. Until a telephone ring broke his thoughts.
"Yes, the design division."
"Sir, please come to the main buliding. The CEO wants to see you."
"Now?"
"Yes Sir."
"Okay, I'll be there." Arjoona put the office phone back to its place and sighed. Delaying all of his work, his company's CEO now calls him to an office building not far from the plant where he works. They are in separate buildings.
Arjoona put on his jacket, took a handy talkie, then walked out. On the way out, he met Tiara again, the girl who gave him breakfast this morning. She is working in the production division administration. She smiled sweetly at Arjoona, and Joona replied.
"Ah Tiara, please if someone is looking for me, could you say that I go to the CEO building?" said Arjoona as he walked out of the building.
"Oh of course, I will tell," she replied, still smiling very sweetly at Arjoona.
"Thanks." Arjoona quickly walked out and was greeted by some workers who passed him.
After walking for nearly 10 minutes, he arrived at the employee elevator that would take him to the top floor of the Winthrop tower, the CEO's room. Arriving at the office building, some female employees smiled at Arjoona. And he just passed them with a friendly dimple smile as usual. Arjoona passed the Secretary's office of his company's CEO and knocked on her door.
"Sorry Ms. Anggi, I was ordered to enter the CEO's room," said Arjoona to PA as well as Secretary to the CEO of Winthrop Electronics. The woman who was almost 40 years old smiled kindly at Arjoona.
"Oh yes, Mr. Gerald who called you." Arjoona frowned. Gerald Winthrop in Indonesia? What for? Arjoona finally just nodded. He followed Anggi into the main room of the CEO.
Arjoona entered after Anggi came and greeted his boss, the CEO of Winthrop Electronics, Steven Juliandra.
"Mr. Steven Mr. Gerald, Arjoona is here," said Anggi with a smile, and the two men who were discussing, looked up to see Arjoona. Joona is already standing in front of them.
"Oh Arjoona, please, come on in. Sir. Excuse me," said Steven to Gerald, who gave the nod. Steven and Anggi finally came out together. So Joona and Gerald stayed in the room.
Gerald Winthrop is the Winthrop Corporation owner and is the chairman of one of these multibillion-dollar companies. The company is engaged in various fields, from electronics, automotive to construction. Gerald is almost 70 years old, but he is still strong enough to travel to see and manage his various companies worldwide. Indonesia is a particular country because he has saved a child from an orphanage that almost got killed. He is Arjoona Harristian, an orphaned boy who doesn't even know who his parents are.
Since Gerald adopted Arjoona, who is older than his granddaughter, He gave a new life to Joona. When he found him, he was only 10 years old. Joona's condition was weak at that time. The orphanage that took care of him let him starve for days. He was stripped of proper clothes and did not have school. But oddly, when he was allowed to join in school, Joona's grade even surpassed other children of his age. He straightly entered the fifth grade of primary school as soon as he was registered. Before graduating from high school and taking the intelligence test, he scored 148 on his IQ. It seemed like a strong reason why he could absorb any lesson so quickly.
Since then, he has been given someone to look after like a nanny in a simple house until he can earn his own income and buy his current home. Joona's nanny has died. He already thinks of her as his own mother. Physically, Arjoona is different. He doesn't look like most Indonesians. His skin is white, his eyes are slanted, but his face is not mandarin more like a Southeast Asian. The body reaches 187 cm tall with not too thin, but still muscular, typical Asian people. He has visible dimples on both cheeks, a small, straight nose, and full lips.
What will be obvious the first time people see him is his dominant yet sexy aura. Coupled with the slightly hoarse and solemn voice of masculine men and his other profession as a rapper, makes him look very sexy and handsome. He doesn't have the evil boy nature just like most men, but he actually has another side that he can bring out to the woman he likes.
Arjoona still pursed his lips, waiting for what the big boss had to say. Gerald was even checking some documents before telling Arjoona to sit across from him. Arjoona then sat down with his hands on his lap.
"How is your work? do you feel good here?" asked Gerald with a faint smile.
"Well, I like to be here, thanks for the chance," Gerald nods.
"I called you here because we have something to talk about," Arjoona nodded.
"I want to give you a great opportunity to move to the US and become CEO at Winthrop Motors," Arjoona frowned. What is this now?
"You must be kidding, right? Is this a prank?" Arjoona was surprised while accusing his boss of wanting to prank him. Gerald smiled and chuckled.
"Is that the term you youth are using now? Prank?" he laughed back. Arjoona didn't want to reply. He was sure his boss was most probably just drunk.
"Joona, I'll give you 50 percent's share of Winthrop Motors if you agree to the terms," Gerald said again with a sly smile.
"Look, in two days there will be a change of CEO at this company, Steven will move to England and help me there, so the CEO of this company will be replaced by my only granddaughter." Arjoona nodded. He was still listening to what his boss had to say.
"Tomorrow my granddaughter, Clarine Winthrop will arrive from England. She has lived in Indonesia before but you have never met, so the day after tomorrow she will officially substitute Steven." Arjoona nodded again. Before Gerald could start talking again, Arjoona began to ask questions.
"Then what is the correlation between the CEO replacement and me, Mr. Gerald?" Gerald started smiling again.
"uhhm Joona, as I told you earlier that I will give 50 percent shares in Winthrop Motors for you but on one condition." Arjoona frowned. His feelings began to feel bad. The boss is a bit oddball, so it worries him.
"You have to marry my granddaughter, Claire." Arjoona's eyes instantly widened. He stood up and shouted.
"WHAT ?!"
