"Sorry, I don't think this question has anything to do with the topic at hand," Hayam replied neutrally. "Now we focus on the factory's vision and mission."
"That's right," said Annida. She supported Hayam. "Currently we are trying to focus on the program to enlarge this factory. The greater the profit the factory gets, the more labor that can be absorbed. We will focus on those two things in order to reduce the unemployment rate."
All reporters took notes and recorded Hayam and Annida's answers. They continued the interview session until the end of the specified time.
Vania stepped closer to Annida when the queue was over. She shot Annida's profile video exclusively.
"Mr. Hayam!" Annida called when she saw Hayam and the group stepped out.
Hayam turned to Annida. His face was happy when he saw that Vania was by Annida's side.
"Oh, what's wrong, Miss Annida?" replied Hayam. He just made small talk with Annida. The main purpose of his glance of course was Vania.
"I just finished an exclusive interview. Are you interested in doing something similar?" asked Annida offering the opportunity. She smiled sweetly and politely to win Hayam's heart.
"Could the interview be in another place?" Hayam glanced back at Vania. "It's late now. I'm afraid of being stuck in traffic. It would be better if the interview was at a location like a restaurant."
"Great idea! I have to eat dinner soon. My daughter is currently going on a date with her fiancé," said Annida. "I think it would be great if we could eat together as colleagues."
"I can. Let's choose a good restaurant, "said Hayam. He let Annida stepped ahead of him.
"Ah, thank you," Annida nodded politely. She turned to Vania. "Vania, come on. You brought the office car, right?"
"Yes, Ma'am," answered Vania.
She was grateful for bringing the car. She didn't want to be in the same car with Hayam or Annida. They were both dangerous for Vania at this time. Annida got into the car after chatting briefly with Hayam. The woman preceded Hayam to the restaurant.
Hayam turned his body towards Vania's car. He smiled and walked over to Vania who was arranging things in the passenger seat.
"Vania," called Hayam.
He was standing right behind Vania. Vania was shocked. She turned and saw Hayam was already in front of her. The man smiled widely at her.
"You haven't gone to the restaurant yet?" Vania replied.
"Not yet. I think it would be fun to go alone with you," said Hayam.
"I can not. I brought my car," said Vania. "I have no particular reason to come with you."
"I can come up with an excuse," said Hayam.
"The method?" Vania furrowed her brow in surprise.
Hayam did not reply. He stepped towards Vania's front car tire. Hayam's body looked down. He opened the Vania tire cap so that all the gas in Vania's tires came out. Automatically, Vania's tires were deflated. Vania glared in shock at Hayam's behavior.
"Why did you blow my car tire?" Vania replied in shock.
"I'm doing this so you can be with me," said Hayam.
The man turned to the driver. "Take the things in the car," Hayam told the driver.
"All right, sir," said the driver. The driver stepped closer to Vania. He took Vania's things and put them in Hayam's car.
"How's my car?" asked Vania worriedly. "I don't like this idea. Didn't you promise to give me a week's worth of thought time?"
"Even though I give you time, that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to seduce you, right?" Hayam commented with his sweet smile. "I want to take you for a walk. There is a new cafe around Bukit Bintang. We can do interviews there."
"How's about Miss Annida?" replied Vania confused. "You promised Mrs. Annida that you would go to dinner with her."
"I just accepted the offer. That doesn't mean that I have to do whatever she wants. She offered. At any time I have the right to refuse it, "explained Hayam.
He took Vania's hand and held it. "Come on in my car. Leave your car here first."
Vania stepped in a daze. She followed Hayam into the car. Not long after, the car started. Vania was still frozen silent until Hayam's cell phone rang. Hayam picked up the call.
"Miss Annida," said Hayam.
"Oh, Mr. Hayam, I have arrived at the restaurant," said Annida. She told Hayam in a happy tone of voice. "When did you arrive?"
"Oh, I have a sudden call from the party. I was told to come to the meeting for a campaign event. I'm sorry?" said Hayam politely and elegantly.
Annida was disappointed to hear Hayam's answer. However, she couldn't do anything to persuade Hayam. "Okay, I understand. We can have dinner together next time," said Annida. "I wish you all the best. Cheers, Sir!"
"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Annida," Hayam ended the phone. He put his phone away and turned to Vania.
"I've finished business with Annida."
Vania couldn't answer yet. She got a call from Annida. "Yes, ma'am," answered Vania quickly.
"The interview was cancelled," said Annida.
"Oh, yes, Ma'am."
"Oh yes, I heard you approached Dio, huh?" asked Annida sarcastically.
"I didn't do it. Now I focus on work," said Vania nervously. She did not think that Annida suddenly immediately discussed the Dio case.
"I hope you do well. I know your work performance is good. Rosa often compliments you. I want you to be able to take care of Rosa's feelings. You should be able to be friends with Rosa. You still want to work longer at the company right?" Annida ended her speech with a rhetorical question.
"Yes. I will try my best," answered Vania obediently. She didn't object. She was well aware of her current position.
"Good! I'm glad to hear your answer," Annida ended the conversation.
Vania froze in silence. She sighed heavily.
"What is it?" asked Hayam.
Vania realized that Hayam was beside her. She turned and gave a small smile.
"I'm fine," replied Vania. She didn't want Hayam to know the problem. It would be very complicated and Vania didn't like anything complicated.
"Your face looks tired. There is a problem?" replied Hayam. He was still curious about the reason behind the expression on Vania's face that looked sad.
"Miss Annida gave me extra work. I have to work harder than usual and I can't stay up late. You know that staying up late is not good for health," said Vania. She knew she was lying. However, she believed this lie was the best answer for Hayam.
"I'll send you home at ten. You can take a shower and rest. I'll order a lot of food for you," Hayam promised.
"Thank you," replied Vanya.
About half an hour later, they arrived at a classic restaurant in the Bukit Bintang area. There were many traditional lamp decorations that make the surrounding atmosphere very romantic.
Hayam booked a strategic location. They could see the twinkling city lights under the classic restaurant. The view was beautiful and romantic.
"What do you think? Am I worthy enough to accompany you as a husband?" asked Hayam. He teased Vania.
Vania laughed. She started to enjoy the dinner that Hayam ordered.
"You want to look like a young and loving man in front of me?" Vania replied.
"Yes," answered Hayam honestly. "I love you and I want to marry you. I will do many sweet and romantic things for you. You'll regret it when you reject me."
"Why do you say that?" said Vania. "I feel like you are threatening me right now."
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to be like that to you," said Hayam. "I just want to convince you that I am worthy of you, Vania."
Vania nodded. She gave the side dish to Hayam's plate. "Eat it. You haven't touched the food. I want to finish my interview with you after this," said Vania.
"Okay," replied Hayam.
They finished dinner first. After that, Vania interviewed Hayam. Hayam answered all of Vania's questions in detail. He could see how hard Vania was trying to work.
"You are so great!" said Hayam. He watched Vania who was still trying to finish her work by tidying up the notes.
"This is my job. To be honest there are many reporters who are much better than me. I'm just trying hard so that I don't lose to senior reporters," said Vania.
Being a reporter was a tough job. The time used to work was infinite. A reporter must be ready to report the news for 24 hours.
"I'm still considering whether I can be a good wife for you and can be a good mother for the children I will give birth to in the future," said Vania. "I'm afraid my children will be lonely because I'm still trying to pursue my career and my position in the company is still in the same position without any improvement. This is sad."
"Actually, if you want, I can make a small news platform for you. I had a chance to talk to Annida. Nowadays people love online news because it is so fast. There is indeed a lack of news validity. However, that drawback is its advantage. People will be curious and reporters can make more and more news. It makes a lot of money."
"You want to be a sponsor for me?" Vania gasped at Hayam.
"That's it if you want to accept me. We have to start by dating Vania," Hayam grabbed Vania's fingers and held them tightly. He gave a sweet and seductive smile.
