"Oh yeah, Brother have you finished calling?" asked Daphne.
"I have. Where do you want to go next?" Answered a person whose form was still covered by Drey's body.
"Mr. Harry?" Edward greeted hesitantly when he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"Oh, Mr. Edward and Ms. Jayna are also here? Just the two of you?" Harry was shocked to see Edward and Jayna there.
"Yes, Mr. But with the rest of Jayna's family." Edward replied. Jayna just smiled at Harry. Her mood was very bad with her unexpected encounter with Daphne. Things that were even worse than her recent nightmares.
"Do you know them Brother?" Daphne was taken aback.
"Yes, they are owners of company who will work together for our company's latest collaboration project. You know?" Harry explained to Daphne about Jayna and Edward.
Daphne was silent for a moment and turned back to Jayna and Edward who were waiting for Daphne's reaction.
"Oh, this is Mr. Harry's younger sister or Mr. Harry's cousin, by the way?" Edward immediately asked.
"My biological sister, the only one being the youngest. Incidentally also involved in our collaborative project. She handles the product design department. And next week will also be the design team's turn for the meeting. Isn't that right Daph?" Harry rebuked Daphne who was still confused.
"Oh, yes. Right. Next week." Daphne stuttered in response.
"Wow, I can't wait for next week." Jayna answered with a happy smile.
"Of course Ms. Jayna. We are also looking forward to it." Harry, who was still not aware of the situation, answered naively.
"By the way, you two know each other?" Harry asked Daphne.
"Mh, yes. They were my high school friends. With Drey too. classmate. The others are just friends from one school." Daphne was still stuttering and sweating as she answered.
"Well, it's good to know each other. It will not be difficult to come to a good agreement. Isn't that right, Mr. Edward and Ms. Jayna?" Harry naively asked Jayna and Edward back who were holding back their laughter.
"That's right, Mr. Harry. Hopefully we get a good deal going forward."
"Oh my gosh, I forgot. Drey also works in our company, and is also involved in the project we are discussing today. He and my sister Daphne will be in charge of product design as I described earlier." Harry patted Drey's shoulder who just looked down at the time.
"Oh, fine. We are looking forward to it. Right Jay?" Edward nudged Jayna.
"Yes. That's right." They glanced at each other with meaningful smiles.
'Damn. What's good?! This is bad for the future!' Daphne cursed in her mind.
Daphne looked at Drey who pretended to be looking at the clock on his phone screen.
"We have to say goodbye, Mr. It seemed like Jayna's family was already waiting for us at the exit. See you at the next meeting, Daphne and Drey." Edward patted the back of Daphne who nodded at him and Jayna.
Edward and Jayna left with triumphant smiles. In the next room towards the exit, they laughed with satisfaction.
"Did You see Ed, Daphne's face when her brother said 'They are the owners of the company that will collaborate with our company'?" Jayna imitated Harry's dialogue earlier.
"Yeah, that face. It's like boiled crab. And that Drey, his muscles seem to shrink when he hears that." Edward and Jayna laughed very excitedly.
"You're right. Ha ha ha. I really can't wait for next week to see how they look." Jayna laughed very contentedly.
"You don't have any plans to prank them, do you?" Edward asked Jayna suspiciously.
"Not now, Ed. But later, I don't know." Jayna laughed again.
"Poor them. You didn't see that they were shaking when they saw Jayna, who they always called 'the nerd', is now the owner of a company that will determine the fate of their company in the future." Edward was still laughing as he said it.
"Indeed yes. We never know what someone's future will be like. It could be that today they are considered only as a loser. The next day they might be standing on a hill to plant their flag of success." Edward added seriously.
"That's right, Ed. You 'the frog prince' turns out with 'the nerd' climbing up the hill to stick their flag of success." Jayna looked at Edward meaningfully.
Edward put his arm around his best friend and walked towards their family who were already seen waiting at the museum entrance gate.

Daphne pulled Drey's hand into the corner of the room as they too were about to walk towards the exit.
"Drey, what are you doing? Why should you talk about their nicknames in high school?" Daphne snarled at Drey.
"What do you mean? Weren't you the first to do that on purpose?" Drey slapped Daphne's hand.
Daphne was flabbergasted.
"You are crazy? I was just asking if you guys still know them?" Daphne was still quibbling.
"Yeah, and when I said their nicknames you laughed too, right?" Drey also did not want to blame himself.
"Ah. Up to you. Anyway, next week's meeting should not be hampered because of your childish attitude just now!" Daphne said.
"Childish? I? Aren't you?" Drey brought his face closer to Daphne.
Daphne backed away and looked away.
"You still haven't realized, Drey? Have you forgotten who brought you to where you are today?" Daphne folded her arms.
"Looks like you've forgotten where you really are." Added Daphne.
"Up to you!" Drey left Daphne.
"Drey!!! Do not go!!" Daphne tugged on Drey's muscular hand.
"What do you want?" Drey slapped Daphne's hand that was holding her back.
"Apologize to them." Daphne was silent.
"Who with? You?" Drey turned his face away.
"No. With both of them. Apologies for telling them off." Daphne said guiltily.
"What?!That nerd and frog prince? You kidding me?" Drey felt like he heard something absurd just now.
"Yes, you apologize on your own behalf. For offending them." Daphne answered.
"If you want to apologize. Apologize it by yourself." Drey pushed Daphne away and left alone.
"Drey!! You have to take responsibility for this Drey.!!" Daphne holds Drey back but Drey ignores her and leaves anyway.
'That damn Daphne is always like this!' Drey grumbled in his heart.
"That damn Drey!! Always leaving without taking responsibility for his own mistakes." Daphne muttered behind Drey.
"What is it?" Harry appeared behind Daphne.
"Oh gosh!! brother!! Just a shock!!" Daphne screamed while holding her chest.
"Why are you guys? Quarrel?" Harry asked curiously.
"It's nothing bro. That's Drey, that's normal. His attitude is too childish." Daphne said.
"Serious?" Harry was still curious.
