章 2: A PLAN
David sighed with his eyes closed thinking about what happened at this moment. The sound of a knock on the door made the man immediately turn his head to the side where the source came from.
"Sorry, Sir, looks like you should find out soon enough."
"Come in!" he said.
Not long after, the door opened and David saw someone who had just entered his room.
"Sir, the media has just put out a story about you."
"I already knew," said David with a straight face. "I don't care if they think of me like that."
"But this time it's different, Sir. It seems the reporters have been keeping an eye on you lately."
Hearing that made David's brow furrow immediately after hearing what his subordinate had just said so that now the man was staring fully at him.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
After that, a man in front of him immediately gave a newspaper to David which made him freeze on the spot.
Hot news! David Ryan, as the CEO of the highest company who has been touted as a same-sex lover, was found sleeping with a woman!
His eyes widened and his breath hitched as he remembered that it seemed like someone had done all of this on purpose.
"You can go now. GO!"
"Y-well, then I'll excuse myself."
David immediately stood up from his seat, then tore up the newspaper where the news about him sleeping with a woman made the man furious.
"David, how can you let your guard down like this when your enemy is crushing you more and more?!"
At the same time, the office phone rang, prompting David to answer it immediately.
"Mr. Young, there is someone who wishes to meet you."
"Just say, I'm busy!"
When he was about to disconnect the call, suddenly someone's voice shouted a little which made David stop his movement.
"David, what busy do you have, huh?! You're busy trying to embarrass me, right?!"
It turned out that the father came, which forced the man to meet him.
"Daddy, calm down, it's not what you think."
"Never mind, I want to see you now!"
"B-but Daddy," David paused with a furrowed brow. "Hello, Dad!"
The old man turned off the call unilaterally so that now David was ruffling his hair in frustration. Then lowered his head with both hands supporting the table while sighing.
"Arrgghhh!!!"
Not long after, the sound of knocking on the door was heard again making David immediately shut up trying to look okay.
"David, quickly explain to me, what is the meaning of all this, huh?!"
"I ... don't know, Dad. Didn't you do all that?"
The man standing in front of him immediately clenched his fists and stared intently at him.
"Tch, how dare you accuse me, what proof is there if I did it?! Let's say it quickly!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you, Dad. You'd better go home and get some rest."
"No, I'm not going anywhere until you tell me."
David pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment before he finally sighed after hearing what the old man in front of him just said.
"I don't remember anything from that night, Daddy."
The old man's eyes stared at him with intimidation.
"If you don't remember it, then how are you going to handle your news? Especially since the whole world already knows that you've slept with a woman. What are you going to do now?"
David immediately froze in his place thinking that what was happening to him at this moment was truly an event that was hard to believe.
"You have to marry her anyway, David."
"No! I don't want to marry her, I don't even know her, Daddy."
"If you don't want to marry her, then what are you going to do, huh?! You can't just keep quiet, can you?"
"Just watch, I'll make up fake news that she's a spy who broke into my Mansion!"
You can see from the look on David's face that he won't let anyone believe him. Moreover, until he had to marry a woman who he didn't even know made he was upset.
***
Night fell, at this time David had just returned from the Company. With a sense of extreme exhaustion, the man walked into the Mansion which was already warmly greeted by a maid working there.
"I won't let that woman roam around so easily. Just watch and wait, what am I going to do!"
When he was about to walk upstairs, out of the corner of his eye David seemed to see someone so he immediately turned his head to the side.
His eyes immediately widened when he found out that the woman was still here sitting on the sofa watching television, making him shake his head instantly.
"Oh, you're back?"
His brows furrowed when he saw the woman who had just spoken to him. David sighed and closed his eyes for a moment to calm his almost overflowing emotions.
"I gave you a check to get you out of here, but why haven't you left yet, huh?! What are you doing here?"
The woman who heard it immediately bit her lower lip which made David immediately widen.
"Shit!!!" David said to himself. "Instead of answering, why did she even react like that?!"
Until finally the woman spoke so David who heard it immediately folded his arms across his chest.
"I was dumped by my boyfriend, and ... I don't know where to live, your money isn't enough for me to buy a house."
David's eyebrows shot up, "Your family? Your parents? Your siblings?" he said.
The woman lowered her head again, which now made David annoyed.
"I ... don't have a family, I'm alone."
David sighed, then turned his face the other way before finally saying "Okay, I'll give you another check so you can buy a house to live in but you have to remember, after this never come back, even show your face in front of me, understand?"
Hearing what a man in front of her said made the woman unable to move.
The man stepped into a room and then came back with a piece of paper he was carrying.
"Here, you better get going. There's no longer any reason for you to stay here, just go!"
A check is given to a woman in front of him, at this time for some reason David felt something different from inside him.
Like ... pity? He don't know, neither did the man. David often met people who disguised themselves like this only to carry out certain purposes.
But unfortunately what someone like this woman meets is David Ryan, a man who can't be fooled with just a short, sad story.
Goodbye!
