Chapter 7：Streak of Misfortune (1/2)
”Dian you take care of all the projects in KL. I trust all of you. My condition is not yet fit to travel far. ” Bara looked at Dian, the former secretary who is now the marketing director.
”Fine boss. I will finish all the projects there. ”
”Tickets already booked? Is it okay for Alana and Zico to be left behind? Only two days. ”
”I ordered the ticket, boss. It's okay, boss. Alana is a smart kid. ”
”Rere asked me to hire his best friend as my secretary.”
”Who is the boss?” Dian stared.
”Tia's name. Rere recommends. There's no way you can concurrently be the secretary and marketing director. It's not funny. ”
”Can she really be a secretary? I'm afraid she's not like me. ”
”You teach Dian. Anyway, she has to be as smart and agile as you. Soon Rere will graduate. ”
”When is the boss?”
”Two more months.”
”At least I will teach her to manage the company her father's legacy. It is time for her to lead the company. Mom handed over the company to me. Honestly, I can't handle everything. Rere had to jump right in. I will teach her myself. Don't forget to look at Rere. Is she okay? ”
”Looks like the boss loves the boss's step-sister. Does the boss like her? ” Dian teases Bara.
”Don't be crazy. I love her like a younger sister. My wife's whereabouts are not clear. Don't makeup stories. Rere makes me feel like I have a sister. ”
Dian was silent when Bara discussed his wife. Bara lost his memory because he was shot by a political opponent. Bara is a former politician. The man knocked many people down so that his enemies were everywhere. The shooting incident made him lose his memory and even forget who his wife was. It so happened that Bara's wife left him for a reason. His wife has been gone for a year but her whereabouts have not been found.

Rere shivered to look at Angga who was lying weakly on the floor. Tia cleans the man's wound. Do not forget to bandage the wound of the man. Tia called uncle Mutu to bring Angga back to his house.
”What happened?” Uncle Mutu looked at Angga who was lying unconscious.
”He tried to **** Rere,” said Tia honestly.
”WTF.” Uncle Mutu caught emotion.
”Uncle already. Rere is still in shock. Take Angga to his house. He's drunk. ” Tia says.
”You and Rere?”
”We're okay.”
Uncle Mutu took Angga to the car. The Indian man was very upset with Angga. How dare that man abuse his employer's child. The half-hearted man delivered Angga. Pissed off, Uncle Quality only put Angga in front of the boarding house door. Angry and disappointed of course. Fortunately, Angga has not had time to do it to Rere.
Rere is still in shock. She asked Tia to change her cell phone number. The trauma is still there. Rere does not want to know and have a relationship with Angga. The man should have protected her not damaged her. If only Tia didn't come on time, she might experience trauma and stress. Her hands were still shaking.
”Re .....,” Tia quietly called her best friend.
”Tia,” said Rere quietly.
”Don't be afraid. Everything is fine. You're safe. ”
”I'm afraid Tia. I'm afraid… ” Rere was still crying.
”I am beside you. Don't be afraid. ”
The door to their apartment was forced open. The sound of the door being smashed could be heard clearly. Rere got up and approached Tia. She was scared.
”Find the woman. Don't get away, ”said one foreign man.
”We have to kill the two women. She is the main witness to the death of Ananya. Don't let the public know what happened. Let the public know that the arrogant artist died in an accident, not murdered. ”
Tia and Rere trembled at the man's words. Rere almost screamed, fortunately, Tia immediately closed her mouth.
”Calm down Re. If you panic they'll find us. Let's hide. They are looking for you and Gesa. ” Tia helps Rere to hide. They hide in the ardrobe. Luckily the wardrobe was big so the two of them could enter.
The men destroy Rere's apartment.
”WTF. Where are they?”
”No boss. Where are they?”
”Search until you can. There's no way they can get away from here. Kill them before talking to reporters. The boss will punish us if this mission fails. ”
”Fine boss.”
The bandits scrambled the whole room. Empty, no people. Tia and Rere peeked from behind the closed cupboard door. Their breaths were gasping. They are afraid of the dangers that are lurking.
Rere's hands broke out in cold sweat. The men destroyed all the items in Rere's room. They were annoyed that they did not find Rere or Gesa. One of the criminals got suspicious of the cupboard. He opened the cupboard door. Tia and Rere covered their mouths with their hands so that the criminals wouldn't feel their breath. The man's steps stopped. Trying to get rid of clothes. Tia and Rere are shaking and hope the men leave.
There was a commotion outside. The man who was about to unpack the cupboard turned outside.
”What happened?”
”That's the boss.” His men were shocked to see a woman and a man taking one of the men hostage by placing a gun over his head.
