Chapter 277 - Business Matters (2/2)

After entering the room, Anya immediately sat on her bed and pretended to play with her cellphone.

Aiden's room had a quite large balcony. He used to spend his time there on sunny days.

At that time, he was still recovering so he had to stay at the Atmajaya Family house. That way, Maria could take care of him more easily.

After several months, Aiden slowly moved into his own house. He also did the exercises and rehab on his own because he didn't want to be confined in the house any longer.

The table and chairs and flower pots that decorated the balcony were still in the same place. It's just that, the owner had never returned.

”Sit here,” Aiden invited Nico to speak on the balcony.

Nico glanced at Anya and saw that his aunt was busy playing with her cellphone. Anya seemed unconcerned with their conversation.

”Uncle, I want to develop the land with Raka,” Nico went to one of the chairs and held it. But he didn't dare to sit in front of his uncle because he was too nervous.

Aiden leaned back in the chair lazily. His fingers tapped the handle of the chair and he said seriously. ”You want to develop it together with Raka, or Raka suggested you take over this project together with him?”

”Raka suggested it, but I want to do it together with him. Can you kick Deny out of this project and let me and Raka finish this project together?” Nico asked.

Aiden didn't say anything. His fingers continued to move, but his eyes were fixed on Nico. Nico could feel the hair on his back all up.

”Uncle, I know you want to give me the opportunity to grow, lead projects and build my own reputation in the Atmajaya Group. But without your help, I would never have been able to finish this project alone. If you cooperate with Raka, you can relax more…”

”I can only be calm if I do everything by myself. If you cooperate with Raka, not only do I have to watch over you, but also watch over him. I'll be much more tired,” Aiden interrupted impatiently.

Nico tried to persuade Aiden. ”Uncle, let me try it! I really want to lead this project and I have faith in Raka. Raka will never trick me,”

”Does that mean you two don't want me to be involved in the project you're working on?” Aiden finally realized what Nico meant.

”Yes, that's what Raka wants. If you don't agree, the Mahendra Family will develop their own project and let you do whatever you want to Raisa,” Nico studied Aiden's face closely.

When she heard Nico's words, Anya's eyes finally turned from her cell phone's screen. She unconsciously looked at Aiden.

”Raka is willing to hand over Raisa?” Aiden asked with a smile.

”The lawyer said that the crime that Raisa has committed will likely only earn her a prison sentence of less than three years. If Uncle doesn't agree to cooperate, they will find the greatest lawyer for Raisa, try to reduce her sentence and let Raisa learn the lesson for her actions,” Nico explained Mahendra Family's plan to Aiden.

Aiden turned to look at Anya. ”Anya, what do you think?”

”This is your business problem. I don't understand,” Anya pretended to be stupid and didn't want to express her opinion.

”Raka is like a sleeping lion. Once he's given the chance, he will wake up. This project is carried out by the Atmajaya Group to build Nico's reputation. But once Raka intervened, all his awards would be won by him. That's not good for Nico,” Aiden said.

”Then, make an agreement with Raka that this project will be led by Nico and Raka will follow all his orders. We can't let Raka steal Nico's reputation,” Anya replied.

Anya agreed to the cooperation knowing very well that if they didn't reach an agreement, Raisa would be jailed. Then, the Atmajaya Family and the Mahendra Family would forever be enemies.

If the Tedjasukmana Family sold the land to the Mahendra Family and did not participate in the construction, then all the profits would be taken by Raka and his family.

”Do you hear that?” Aiden glanced at Nico.

Nico's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Anya's suggestion. He said excitedly, ”Uncle, does that mean you agree with this plan as long as I lead the project?”
