Ethan was silent when he heard what Carolina was saying.
Oh yes! What i want?
He was initially interested when he saw the woman in a hotel restaurant in Bali who wore a fake facial expression while in the room, she seemed great at cursing and speaking harshly.
Then after meeting again in the lobby, he was again amazed because the woman tried to pretend not to know him.
"Is it possible she didn't enjoy it that night? But there seems to be, after all, we did it several times."
After knowing that the woman was an intern in his family's company, he suddenly wanted to see her again and immediately ordered the company secretary to call her, he did it just to see the expression on her face.
"I just wanted to see you," Ethan said finally, telling the truth.
"Hah?" Carolina couldn't believe what she heard, that red apple ask her to come here just because he wanted to see her What nonsense!
Carolina then lowered her leg which had been previously crossed and rose to her feet and approached Ethan.
"Now we've met, right? Give me back my necklace," said Carolina, holding out her hand, to ask for the necklace back.
Ethan looked at Carolina's hand that was proffered to him, "If I return her necklace, isnt' she not gonna see me again?" Ethan thought.
Seeing Ethan silent, Carolina became impatient, she shook her hand as if telling him to give it up immediately.
But suddenly Carolina's gaze fell on the document on Ethan's desk.
"Qi Inc? So they still don't get caught," thought Carolina.
Ethan, who noticed Carolina's gaze was staring at the documents on his desk, asked, "What's wrong?"
After hearing the question, Carolina immediately looked away and looked at Ethan, "No, give me back my necklace!" he said, waving his hand again.
"Let me know first! If you don't tell me, I'm not giving back your necklace" said Ethan who suddenly wondered why the woman in front of him had such an expression.
"No, it's nothing, just give me back my necklace," said Carolina who still held out her hand
"Alright, if you do not want to let me know, you can get out," said Ethan then opened the drawer of his desk, pretending to keep back the necklace.
Seeing Ethan trying to keep the necklace back, Carolina pulled her hand back and thought quickly, should she tell the truth?
"Ah I don't care anymore, the important thing is he must immediately return the necklace that given by papa," thought Carolina, who finally made a decision.
"Okay, okay! I will tell you! I was just surprised to see a document that seemed to be a cooperation proposal from Qi Inc," said Carolina finally.
Ethan, who had no idea the real reason was that, grew more interested, "Try to explain!"
Carolina sighed for a moment, she was already wet, just jump in.
"Qi Inc is involved in large amounts of money laundering, soon the case will be reported by the media, maybe, so I thought, NamTech should not cooperate with them. NamTech is currently one of the largest companies in Indonesia. You don't want NamTech's reputation to be damaged because of having a relationship with a company like that, right? But it's up to you, anyway." said Carolina.
While surfing the dark web, she sees a job opening to find out dirty secrets about that company, because the pay is matched, Carolina who has another identity as the FA, a famous hacker, takes the job and finally finds out that some of their shareholders have laundered money. in a large amounts.
After discovering it, Carolina did not immediately spread it as usual she often did, but she immediately gave it to the person who opened the job. But it's been almost a month since she gave it to the person who opened the job, Qi Inc. still operating normally.
Carolina doesn't know whether the result she has encountered poses a threat to Qi Inc or not, but Carolina doesn't care at all.
Se's not an angel who should stop her hirer from doing that, as long as she's already paid and they don't bother her, Carolina won't bother them either.
Ethan frowned, the document in front of which reads Qi Inc was indeed a proposal offered by the company, but after that, there was information that the special team gathered for the company.
Are they "clean" - never scandalized and have a good reputation, "safe" - the company has been scandalized but has a good reputation - or even "dirty" - no need to work with the company because its reputation is already dirty -
So usually before there is an incoming business proposal, the special team must find out about the company before the proposal finally goes to the CEO's table.
And the document clearly confirms that Qi Inc is a "safe" company, even the information written in the document never mentions anything about money laundering.
Ethan then looked at Carolina, his expression turning stern, "You know what you just said is defamation?"
At first, Ethan thought that Carolina was shocked to have the document because CEO Qi Inc had previously been involved in a prostitution case, and Carolina thought the case still had an impact on the company, so the woman said something like that. But the company has been led by a new CEO, and their reputation is getting better and maybe Carolina doesn't know that.
So when Ethan heard something that wasn't mentioned in the documents he read at all, somehow he became annoyed, is that woman the type of woman who likes to tell lies that harm other people?
Ethan clearly knew that woman often wore fake expressions, and also often lied like she didn't know him. But if the level of lying is to the point of harming others, in this case, Qi Inc. Of course Ethan became turned off.
Carolina, who saw Ethan didn't seem to believe it, got pissed off!
She's been leaking a secret like this! But that man doesn't even believe it?!
And what kind of expression is that? You think I'm lying, right?!
"If I can prove what I'm talking about, what do you think? Can you want to return my necklace?" challenge Carolina.
"Deal!"
"Okay! Deal! You're a man, so you can't take your words anymore!" said Carolina but then she forgot that the "evidence" was in her private cloud storage, and her cellphone currently couldn't access that storage because the operating system was still outdated.
"Shit! Looks like I really have to buy a new cellphone, okay! Screw up what other people saying! " thought Carolina.
Ethan, who saw Carolina was silent, asked, "Why? You can't prove it, can you? If you apologize and admit you are lying, I will forgive you."
"I can prove it, really!" said Carolina who looked confused, did she have to get permission to go back to her boarding house and take the evidence?
Carolina does often back up her work as a precaution if someone is interested in buying what she does, and it's a shame to just throw it away.
But Carolina's gaze suddenly landed on the monitor that was on Ethan's desk.
"That's a computer, right? Is there is internet too?" asked Carolina.
"Yes, why?" Ethan asked, confused.
"I need internet access to get the evidence, my cellphone has no quota," said Carolina. She's a little embarrassed to say that her cellphone is currently outdated, so she can't access the evidence she wants to get.
Ethan realized again that the woman was lying, but since the lie this time didn't hurt, he ended up letting her go.
Ethan then got up from the leather chair he was sitting on, and invited Carolina to sit on it, to make it easier for her to access his computer.
After the mouse was in her hand, Carolina turned to Ethan who was beside her, as if to say, "What are you doing there?"
Ethan, who seemed to notice the woman's distasteful gaze, replied, "Ahem, after all, this is a company computer! I still have to watch what you do."
Carolina then decided to ignore Ethan who was beside her, it seemed that the man was not very good with computers.
Carolina then typed something on the keyboard and a screen appeared after she hit the enter key.
"Hmm… the computer specifications are not bad too. Well, as expected from one of the biggest IT companies in Indonesia," thought Carolina.
Ethan, curious about what was appearing on the monitor screen, came over and started reading what he wrote.
"System Information… wait! You just checked the company's CEO's computer specs?" Ethan asked in disbelief. The first thing the woman did after gaining access to his computer was to check the computer's specifications.
"Why? You have problem with it? Is there something you're hiding too? p*rn videos, for example," said Carolina and then started pointing the computer cursor to open folders on the computer.
