Alfin, who had just approached them to ask Harry to start briefing, was staring at Cleo with great interest. Provided some code that was meant to ask what was going on.

Cleo chose to shrug her shoulders.

Did not answer because that was not in her authority. Cleo knew Harry's change was caused by Aretta and it was trying not to interfere. Harry goes out together with Alfin to the meeting room to start the meeting with a tense atmosphere.

All of Harry's employees were confused half to death by Harry's mood patterns that were easy to change.

They were started counting down their time patiently.

***

Arettta, who was irritated by Harry's displeasing attitude, threw into the trash the large parcel that she had deliberately brought for Harry.

Never expected Harry would act like a child in isolating her. And thinking that she was unimportant. So that he didn't even want to see her face.

Martha suddenly appeared and came to see her. When Aretta just arrived in her office.

Martha was beautifully swaying like a model walking on the catwalk. Aretta, who initially looked at the woman lazily, changed her expression quickly when Martha was in front of her.

Unhappy to see that woman came when she was in a bad mood, Aretta tried to cover up her ugly expression.

Trying to be nice to her by showing a pleasant face behind her chaotic feelings. Aretta greeted Martha in a very polite manner.

"Miss, Martha! Nice to meet you here!"

Martha replied to Aretta's greeting with a modest smile. Gazed at the woman seriously. Martha then asked about the results of her meeting with Harry.

"I heard, a few days ago you just met a representative from Theo company for a meeting. Is everything went well?" asked Martha with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Martha was waiting for the information on the results of their meeting that day.

Aretta answered that question with an even expression.

"Everything is going well, miss. You do not need to worry," Aretta deliberately didn't say anything about Cleo being the substitute.

Knowing that the woman had come to get any information related to Harry. Arreta was not happy to accept the fact that Martha was also targeting Harry just like herself.

Knowing that the woman was serious about her actions. Aretta was a little worried about how calm she will get when that woman found out Aretta's real purpose to return to this city and work for her father was.

Hoped that Martha can reduce and even get rid of her one-sided feelings. Aretta originally didn't want to have much to do with her. But it was as if seeing Martha could be used as a tool by her to heat Harry and make the man finally looked at her.

Aretta had drawn up several plans for carrying out her mission.

Seeing Martha still standing waiting for her, Aretta then asked her.

"Do you need anything else, miss?" Aretta asked, deliberately pretending not to understand Martha's actions, which were also ambiguous. Martha looked a little confused to reply.

"Er, is there something interesting going on? If maybe, you had time to talk about anything other than work? Ah, I certainly care a lot about how the collaboration process worked well. But are you guys talking about anything...beyond that?" asked Martha with an expression that was half-interested but unwilling to show it.

Aretta smiled faintly in return.

"Things that are outside of work? Not yet, miss. But considering that was the first time we've met in person to talk business after we first met at a party. Of course, this can be very predictable. Sorry, if that was disappointing you." Aretta didn't show any signs that she was bothered by that question.

Because she seems to want to curse her misfortune.

Very wanted to talk with Harry, but that man was antipathy towards her.

Aretta knew what triggers and causes. Could not completely blame her bad luck, as it had been her own doing.

Martha had already asked another question.

"Then what about their model ambassador? Do you already know who was recruited?" asked Martha.

Aretta shook her head, "Not yet, miss. Their side still hasn't said anything."

"Okay. Then, let me know if you have any information. I'll call you later."

Martha walked out of Aretta's room. Aretta didn't seem too bothered by Martha's words. Martha then walked into her father's room.

Lied down on the black guest sofa in his room. Martha looked at her father's face with an expression of displeasure.

"Should you follow their wish to replace me as a model?" asked Martha, who had looked sadly at her father.

She stared at Robby, who only pretended to be relaxed. And knowing clearly what her daughter meant. Robby saw his daughter's nature as very childish.

"Don't you have a lot of work? Why do you have to worry about a project that turned you down? Is it because of your high self-esteem?" asked Robby with a grin.

Robby knew very well that it was not only her daughter's self-respect that was at stake in the case she was concerned about but her feelings as well. Robby chose not to say much. Stared at her daughter who cute and was sulking.

Martha looked a lot like her mother when she was also sulking. Putting both hands in front of her chest and shook one leg impatiently. Robby saw that the expression on her face was the same as Nadderine's.

Did not want to talk much and asked other people to understand herself better.

Robby's daughter appeared like a ruler. Hated having to accept decisions she can't accept.

Martha returned to her business.

"But this project is huge and long-term if I succeed in getting lots of people to contribute to it! Do I look less competent?" Martha asked with a sad face and certainly didn't agree with that argument.

Robby quickly denied it.

"Of course not, honey. You're thinking too far!"

Martha still looked disappointed.

The possibility that this might be the obstacle made it difficult for Martha to accept that this decision was taken and initiated by Harry himself.

Martha felt tense all over her body. And can only ask her father for help this time. Her father did not provide any solution and instead teased her. Made her feel annoyed and finally came out of her father's room alone without being asked.

Martha accidentally collided with someone. As if hitting an object that was thick and hard. Martha flew to the side and howled in pain. She spat out her curse words.

"Stupid manner!! Can't you use your eyes properly?!" said Martha irritably. She didn't know who was so brave enough to hit her. But the man, who she hit really had a strong body as strong as steel concrete.

Martha intended to scold and warn the man, thinking that that person might be his father's subordinates who wanted to go to his room to give a report or meet his father in person.

Martha looked up to see who she had hit.

But it wasn't anger that swarmed over her first. Martha was shocked first when she recognized the man she had hit. Martha stared at the man fiercely.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you have never been here?" asked Martha coldly and seemed to want to patronize him. Martha didn't look happy when she saw Willy looking back at her with a flat expression.

Martha was deliberately alert.

Knowing that Willy could not maybe have any interest in meeting his father. And knew also that he until the second before was unwilling to see his father.

Martha felt that his impulsive action at this time was enough to grab her attention.

Deliberately wanting to ignore Martha, Willy looked at her with one eye and with a descending look that seemed to make fun of her.

Deciding not to respond to Martha's remarks, in the end, Willy sneaked into Robby's room and ignoring the woman's protests.

Martha chased him in from behind. And immediately raised her objection.

"You shouldn't be allowed to enter! How dare you even ignore me! And shouldn't you answer my question?" cursed Martha who did not accept that she was ignored and considered as the wind.

Willy just looked at her sarcastically.

"Move aside and don't bother to do something! Because this has nothing to do with you. You, just do what you need to do. And don't care about me! I wasn't want to serve you! So, stand away!"

Willy pushed Martha out of the room and ignored all the protest and rejection that Martha was throwing at him.

Martha decided to give in even though she didn't want to.

Realized that, this was the first time Willy came to her father's office for whatever reason and what purpose. Martha was displeased when she heard Willy say that this was none of her business.

But when she knowing that the bad guy might just screw up and take advantage of his muscles. Martha walked out, feeling defeated, leaving the closed door and leaving.

Martha the netting Willy and Robby talk about serious things with each other.

While Robby didn't expect Willy to come to see him this soon.

Knowing based on his estimation what will be the main goal Willy dare to give up in front of him. Robby was happy to see that his son was now willing to come to visit him. Ignoring all the sharp stares his son was giving and directing him.

Robby that Willy had made the unanimous decision to accept his father. Will not deny his existence and will continue to follow his wishes on several conditions. Robby smiled with satisfaction when Willy began to open his mouth and speak.
