Chapter 5 - #4

Devan opened the curtain in Yohan's bedroom, it's makes the light enter the room and made Yohan slowly open his eyes because of the sunlight.

"Fuck it, who disturb my sleeping!?"

"It's me, sir."

Yohan looked at Devan and continued to keep his eyes closed. "Fuck off, get out of my bedroom and close the curtain!"

Devan is not giving up, he grabs Yohan's blanket and makes him more annoyed this time.

"Sir, you need to wake up, I can't be with Mr. Yesa because of you, and you need to be at the opening hotel tonight."

"Well I don't want it, tell him."

"You can't this is your punishment from him."

"My punishment? For what exactly?"

Devan took out the hidden camera he found. "This was in the room last night, someone is trying to make a sex tape with your face on it."

Yohan immediately woke himself up, he sat on the bed and looked at the camera that Devan showed. He trying to remember what happened last night but he can't remember anything.

And he feels stupid because of it.

"Where should I go," asked him.

He doesn't have any excuse now, he made a mistake, and he knows something will happen sooner or later, and now it's happening, someone trying to take advantage of him.

"It's the opening of TS Hotel."

"The one that we working with?"

"Yeah."

"Oke, tell my brother I'm going there."

"Oke, I'll let him know. But sir, do you suspect something?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you looking for information? I know you wouldn't fall for something like this."

"Nah, I can't tell you right now. Did you the one who saved me?"

"Yeah, Mr. Yesa told me you take you home."

"Thank you."

"It's my pleasure. I'm going then," Devan is out of the room.

Yohan took his phone and tried to call someone.

"Yohan? How are you?"

"Hey, Devan told me, how can it happen?"

"Well, the truth is, I don't know, I still searched the woman that grabbed you, and I analyzed the CCTV to see what happened."

"So you don't know? You're not investigating?"

"I called my P.I about it, calm down I'll do my best. I'll add some cameras too."

"Oke, thanks, call me if you need anything."

"It's fine, I'm the one who should say sorry to you."

"Del, it's not your fault."

While looking at the situation in the reception area, Lucy took the HT, "Check com, guys," said Lucy.

"Chef Rey here, clear."

"Jasmine here, clear."

"Oke."

"Luc, when Jesse comes, direct him straight to the front, okay?"

"Oke, copy."

Lucy stood at the front while managing the guests who came. All the guests began to arrive according to the invitations that had been given.

Until Lucy found someone who brought an invitation from the Lesmana Group.

"Oh Mr. Yesa," said Lucy as she saw the person coming but it wasn't him.

"Oh, I'm Yohan, Yesa's younger brother, Mr. Yesa can't come."

"Oh, okay, let me take you."

Lucy took Yohan to the front seat close to the stage, maybe only 3 meters from the stage.

"In here sir."

"This is really up front."

"Ah yes sir, this is where investors and the family of the TS Operational Director sit."

"I heard he's from Australia?"

"Ah yes, our Operational Director is still stuck in traffic, so our Deputy Director will give the speech."

"Oh okay fine. What time does it start?"

"Soon sir, in 15 minutes."

"Oh, okay, thanks."

"I'll excuse myself."

Lucy stood on the edge of the room between the table and the stage because she could see the whole room.

"Let's start this event, thank you to the guests who have come this evening," said MC.

Lucy was still in her work mode, she told the server not to forget to arrange to fill water and cakes on a table that was about to run out.

And when she looked at the entrance, it turned out that Jasmine's parents had arrived, so she went to Yohan first.

"I'm sorry sir, I want to bring the family of the Deputy Director here, is that ok?"

"Oh yeah, that's okay."

Lucy lowered her head and dashed towards the door. "Mr Dani, Mrs Lily, please come with me," said Lucy.

"Oh, Lucy?"

"Yes, ma'am, it is Lucy."

"Before we continue the event, there are a few words of welcome from the Deputy Director of TS Hotel...,"

"Excuse me, Mr. Yohan. Mr. Dani, Mrs. Lily."

Yohan, who heard the names Dani and Lily, immediately turned around quickly as if his neck was almost twisted. 

"Sir, auntie?"

"Yohan, you coming here."

"Wait, the deputy director, that means…"

"Let us welcome, Jasmine Alexander."

Once again Yohan turned his head towards the stage, he almost stood up but he couldn't hold it in. He couldn't believe that this person had just appeared out of nowhere.

12 years ago she disappeared, and now after 12 years she just appeared. Yohan clenched his fists trying to hold back his anger.

Yesa bastard, Yohan cursed his brother.

Jasmine went up to the stage and looked at the table where her parents were. She looked calm even though her eyes were a little surprised to see Yohan.

Yohan continued to look at Jasmine who gave the words of welcome, he didn't care about the words that came out of Jasmine's mouth, he continued to look at her so that his eyes wouldn't lose her again.

Jasmine finished delivering her speech, she got off the stage, was helped by Lucy, and then walked to the table where her father and mother were.

She hugged her parents, while Yohan drank champagne while looking at Jasmine who was sitting next to him.

When Yohan tried to control his anger, suddenly a soft voice came from Jasmine's mouth.

"Long time no see Yohan."

Fuck. Yohan cursed in his heart.

"What do you mean?"

"I asked, how are you, Yohan?"

"Wow, you still have the guts to ask how I am? Don't you think it's 12 years too late to ask that question, Alexa?"

"Oh yeah? Am I late?"

"Jasmine," Lily tried to control her daughter's anger.

"Sorry, Auntie, but I don't accept it," Yohan finally turned and faced Jasmine. "You don't want to apologize to me, for what you've done?"

"Me? Did I make a mistake?"

"Wow, 12 years ago you just left like that, didn't tell me where you were, you even told Yesa not to tell me where you were, and you said you didn't do anything wrong!?"

"Don't you dare raise your voice in front of me."

"No need to complain about my intonation! Because you're wrong!" Yohan raised his voice again.

Jasmine looked down silently for a moment, Yohan is not someone who thinks short-term. But, who knows when he changed, becoming a selfish and self-centered person.

"Oh, if I'm the one who's wrong, then I'm the one who should introspect?"

"You should!"

Jasmine slammed the glass she was holding onto the table. The sound produced was loud enough that Lucy, who was near the wall, started to get closer.

"Listen to me, when someone leaves your life, you should introspect yourself because maybe you are the one who made a mistake. You got it?"

This time it was Yohan's turn to slam the glass on the table. He looked at Jasmine and then came closer, he grabbed Jasmine's shoulders and pressed quite deeply.

"Talk that to your face, because it's not my fault."

Jasmine moaned in pain because of Yohan's actions. Suddenly the pressure was not felt and now it was Yohan's turn to moan.

"The fuck," he said while looking at the person who grabbed his hand, "who are you!?"

"Watch your mouth," The deep voice filled the three people.

Jasmine immediately turned around and she had never seen Jesse's face so furious.

"Jesse, since when you arrived?"

"Shut up, darling," said Jesse. "Please, watch your words, you are a guest here and I ask you please watch your attitude towards Jasmine."

"Who is this your boyfriend?"

"Hey!" Jesse shouted again. "I'm giving you a final warning, please, because if you don't behave, I could disgrace your family name today."

"Yohan, be patient, darling," said Lily, grabbing Yohan's hand from the side.

"Auntie but."

"Auntie understands, be patient, okay?"

"Get off me," Yohan said.

"Behave," ucap Jesse.

"Get your hands off me."

Jesse released his grip on Yohan's hand. Yohan stood up and looked at Jasmine and Jesse.

"I can't behave, so I'll excuse myself from here and you, Lex, we still have business."

"Alexander, we'll talk later," said Dani firmly and he left there with Lily.
