"Okay," said Kala as he grabbed Lady's hand, who was sitting on the side, and held it.
He kissed briefly as his eyes remained focused on the road in front of him. Kala rarely asks the driver to take him. If not exhausted, he prefers to ride alone. He likes to think while riding. Not daydreaming, but like there is a sense of relaxation and relaxation when riding, allowing him to think and get fresh ideas. Strange, indeed.
"But even if Embun meets our criteria, what if she doesn't want to cooperate?" Kala expressed his doubts.
"We'll think about it later. But we have to do our best to get her to cooperate. Either way," the woman answered firmly.
Yes, speaking of firmness, Lady is indeed much more firm and seems cruel compared to Kala who seems gentle and still has empathy. The thing that women often watch out for is so that their husbands don't follow their feelings too much when making big decisions.
This world is like a war of strategy, for Lady. Who is agile and careful in arranging steps and plans, she is the one who wins. Just that.
Feelings are a weakness that exists in humans. A good fighter definitely takes advantage of the opponent's weakness, and most of it is feelings and empathy. Playing in that area is the determinant of who wins and who will lose.
Experience has proven that it is the person who puts forward logic, the true winner, and the person who puts the feelings forward is the true loser. That's Lady's thought.
Arriving in Kala's room, Pandu immediately explained all the data about Embun to his two bosses.
"My feeling is right. Pandu, no matter what, she must cooperate with us. For the time being, you focus on Embun. Office work, leave it to the others first. You take another secretary to help you," ordered the Lady.
"Okay ma'am. I will meet Embun soon and get a deal. This is a copy of the agreement from the legal team. Please read it first," said Pandu, handing him a file.
For a few minutes, Lady and Kala read the legal team's contract documents carefully.
"Fine. I think that's enough. How about you, Bee?"
"I don't have a problem either. Allowances, as well as rewards, you can increase according to her request. We have no problem with that. The important thing is that the girl wants to work with us," said Kala to Pandu.
"Okay, Sir. Hopefully, I can give good news soon," Pandu replied.
"Wait, one additional last chapter." Lady seemed to think of something.
Pandu and Kala suddenly looked at her at the same time. They both waited for the woman to continue.
"Add as a final article, while she is still bound by this contract, the life and death of the babies is in the hands of the tenant. So, if the tenant asks to be aborted or even kills after the baby is born, she cannot refuse," said Lady firmly.
"Is such an article necessary?" Kala staring.
He didn't expect his wife to add such a cruel article. Don't they have no intention of killing the babies later? Wasn't all this done for the sake of having children? Killing those babies is killing their own flesh and blood, right?
"It is necessary. We never know what will happen next. Articles that are strictly binding and all possibilities still need to be prepared." Lady crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"But killing our own babies?" Kala asked again for confirmation.
"Yes. It's just the worst, Bee. Do not worry about it. You know, I'm always on the lookout for any eventuality. Just do it. We both hope that this article will not be used later. It sounds contradictory to our goal, but the article is still necessary to be on guard. My feeling says that."
Of course, it wasn't her child. It was Kala's child and the girl they were going to rent for the womb. Lady doesn't really care. She just needed to be on guard. If anything happened, she should be able to eliminate the babies, even the girl.
Pandu glanced at Kala, waiting for a decision.
"Well, that's that then. Just add that article." Kala says, surrender. He didn't know what Lady really meant by that last chapter. However, instead of having to fight and even cancel all plans just because of one article that is not implemented, he prefers to give in and just say yes.
"Okay, Sir. I will ask the legal team to add to the article," Pandu replied with a slight nod.
"In that case, today you must have met her. I want news as soon as possible to calm down," said Lady.
"Ready mom. Surely today I will meet her. Excuse me." Pandu stepped out of the room, letting his two bosses continue their conversation.
Is there a girl who wants to rent out a womb while she is still a virgin? Pandu wondered in his heart.
Ah, not married doesn't mean you're still a virgin, right? It's a big city. Jakarta, man! He said again in his mind.
He dialed a series of numbers on his cell phone as they were written on the paper he was holding now.
"Hello, sorry. Can I speak to Embun?" Apparently, Pandu called the girl.
"Yes, it is me. Where is this from?"
"I am Pandu, from PT Bathara Amurwa Saka. There is an important matter that I want to discuss with you regarding the offer of cooperation from our company. Do you have time today to meet with me?" Pandu asked carefully not to leave a negative impression. He used the excuse of work as an excuse to meet the girl.
"I was out of town, sir. But, sorry, where did you get my number from?" Of course, Embun was surprised.
She rarely gives out her phone number other than her work and college friends. She also hasn't submitted a job application for a long time. Of course, it would be strange if suddenly a company contacted her, let alone offered a collaboration. She was afraid this was just a trick.
"I'll explain later when we meet, okay? Don't worry, Embun. You can check on the internet about our company. A large international company, not a scam company. My name is Pandu. You can also check who I am at the office." Pandu's answer sounded convincing, making Embun not suspect that the person behind the voice was a fraud.
"So, today I can't see you? Night maybe." Pandu tried to persuade Embun to spend time today. Even if it's night, no problem. He had already promised Lady that he would meet Embun today. Pandu understood very well how the character of the female boss was. She would definitely be furious if anyone broke a promise, even if it was unintentional or an impossibility to fulfill.
"I don't know yet, sir. I'll let you know later, okay?" said Embun half-heartedly.
On the one hand, she was curious, wanting to know what the business was until the company contacted her. However, she had indeed just left the city with Alaska.
"Well, that's that then. Please let me know later. Any time doesn't matter. Where to meet, I also don't have a problem, because this is very important and of course very good for you. Once again, I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Sorry for interrupting," said Pandu ending the conversation.
He deliberately slipped a little leak that what they were going to talk about later would benefit Embun so that the girl was curious and wanted to take the time to meet him.
"Who? How come you're so serious?" Alaska glanced at Embun.
"Don't know either. From PT Bathara Amurwa Saka, He want to meet me. He said there was an offer of cooperation. They know where my number is from, don't they, Al?" The girl frowned.
"Eh, it's a big company, you know. If you pass Kuningan street, there is a red brick building. Well, that's their office. Wow, that's really cool. Called for cooperation?" replied Alaska who was also a little surprised.
"Are you serious, Al? You know about that company?"
"Just listen. They have many subsidiaries. Their business also varies. From culinary, hotel, factory, fashion, property. Giant octopus in the business world. So, they asked to meet you? Just find it. Don't waste the opportunity, Mbun. Who knows, this is your sustenance. God sends sustenance, you don't expect it," said Al encouragingly.
"You yourself said yesterday that who knows there is a miracle from God? Without having to rely on other people and be indebted, who knows there is a way out of your problems. Maybe yesterday there was an angel passing by. Keep it recorded. Well, after being reported to God, God agrees. So, now you have good news."
"You talk about God's name. Like a holy person, Haha haha." Embun laughed.
But it's true what Al said. Who knows, this is indeed an answered prayer. The windfall that I've always hoped for, Embun thought.
