Atif reached Lamin’s place.
Lamin’s parents just let Atif go up to Lamin’s room instead of calling Lamin.
Atif knock on the door of Lamin’s room.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Whose there?” Lamin asked.
“It’s me! Atif.” Answer Atif while standing outside the door.
Lamin get up when he heard his name.
Lamin is Atif close friend.
They are friends since high school days.
Lamin belongs also to a rich family.
He is also a young billionaire like Atif.
An eligible bachelor like him.
The only difference is Atif is chosen as the next chief executive in the group of companies own by his
family.
While Lamin has own company and already a CEO.
Lamin open the door to let Atif get inside.
Then they proceed to the terrace of Lamin’s room.
Lamin ask the maid to bring them a cup of coffee.
They are now sitting on the elegant chair beside the coffee table on the terrace of Lamin’s room.
“What are you doing here, Bro!?” asked Lamin to Atif.
“Of course it’s about business again Bro.” Atif answered.
“I’m calling you an hour later but you never answer.” Atif continue to talk.
“Oh sorry, I just get into trouble down town. I didn’t notice that somebody is calling.” Lamin apologize.
“Trouble?” Atif asked.
“Yeah!” Lamin answer.
“Oh what’s the reason?” Atif asked.
“Well, I just helped a lady to get out into her own trouble.” Lamin explained.
“A lady? Ask Atif with half smile on his face.
“Yes. And if I only knew that she is good at fighting I will never intervened.” Lamin said smiling but with
regrets in his voice.
“I guess the lady is beautiful that’s why you didn’t expect that she is good in fighting.” Atif said.
“Yes, you’re right!”Lamin agreed.
“So what is her name?” Atif asked.
“I don’t know I never talked to her.” Lamin said smiling.
“What?! After helping, you never talked to the lady?” Atif asked almost laughing.
“Yes. Not a single word.” Lamin said almost laughing also.
Then they both drink their coffee.
“I just left her up there on the footbridge.” Lamin continue to talk.
“I don’t know what to say!” Atif said with a smile on his handsome face.
Then they both drink coffee.
“By the way, let’s get into business. Lamin said in serious tone.
“Ok. I just want to inform you Lamin.
The new business of my grandfather is already approved by the board members of H & A Summit
Holdings, Inc.
I just want to confirm if you will sign for a contract as a supplier of the raw materials for the new
factory.” Atif said in more serious manner.
“Glad to hear that. Yes of course I will. Just inform me when the signing of contract is.” Lamin said.
“I will just reach you by the phone.” Atif confirmed.
Then Atif get something from his backpack.
It’s a set of documents.
“Here take this. Please read the terms and condition of H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. “
Lamin take the blue folder and read.
Atif explained to Lamin the content of the contract.
Then after Lamin understand all of the terms and conditions,
Atif decided to go home.
Atif reached their home.
He proceed to the living room.
In their living room his step brother Jasmin is sitting on the sofa.
Drinking coffee.
Jasmin is older than Atif.
He is a son of Atif stepmother Sara from her previous marriage.
Jasmin is not a son of Atif adoptive father Mateo.
Adoptive father because the real father of Atif is Alem.
So his family that he belong at present is just his adoptive family.
Adoptive family is a family who has welcomed a child born to another into their family and legally
adopted that child as their own. After the adoption is complete, the child’s name often changes to the
name their adoptive family has selected for them, and that child legally becomes a part of their family,
just as if they have been born into it.
Atif is so tired.
He sit on the sofa opposite to Jasmin.
Jasmin greet Atif.
“Where have you been brother?” Jasmin asked.
“I’ve been at Lamin’s house.” Atif answer while picking the magazine which is on the top of the center
table.
“Our grandfather is looking for you.” Jasmin informed him.
“Why?” Atif asked.
“He is preparing for a trip going to Asia.” Jasmin said while reaching his coffee which is on the center
table.
“Asia? Is it about business again?” Atif wonder why his grandfather will go outside the country this time.
“What I’ve heard is not?” Jasmin inform Atif.
“If not what will he do there?” Atif ask. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What I’ve heard is….” Jasmin said.
Jasmin was going to say something about their grandfather’s trip but he chose to keep silent when he
saw that Haris, their grandfather is approaching.
“Atif, what keep you so long to arrive home?” Haris asked while sitting beside Jasmin.
“I just went to Lamin’s place. To check on something.” Atif said.
“I’m leaving by tomorrow morning for a trip going to Asian country.” Haris inform Atif.
“Okay Grandfather. Take care.” Atif said.
“I’m appointing you to attend all the business meetings that needed my presence.” Haris said.
“How long will you be there?” Atif asked his grandfather.
“Just for a week.” Haris answered while getting the newspaper placed on the center table.
The old man wear eye glasses and read the newspaper.
“That long?” Atif asked.
“Yes.” Haris answered.
“Okay. I will drive you to the airport tomorrow morning.” Atif said.
“Okay. Thank you. Eat your dinner now and take a rest Atif.” Haris agreed.
“Yes I will Grandfather.” Atif said.
Then Atif stand up.
Call the maid.
Ask the maid to prepare his dinner.
Now Atif is on the dining area.
Jasmin and Haris was left at the living room.
Haris is talking to Jasmin.
“Don’t mention anything to Atif about the reason why I will traveling to that country until I get back.”
Haris said.
“Yes I will, Grandfather.” Jasmin agreed to Haris.
“I count on your words, Jasmin.” Haris said.
Haris is just making sure that Jasmin do what he said.
“Yes you can, Grandfather.” Jasmin promised.
Then he asked Haris: “Grandfather, but why I should not tell Atif about that?”
“Its high risk for him to know the reason why right now.” Haris explained.
Then they stopped talking to each other when Atif pass on the living room.
Atif is going upstairs to his room.
He was finished eating his dinner.
Atif decided to take a rest.
So he go upstairs straight to his room.
Then he throw himself on his bed when he reached his room.
He want to go to sleep because his feeling so tired.
But he can’t sleep right now.
Something is bothering him.
He can’t stopped himself thinking about it…
