Chapter 60

Just as he arrived at the office, Nathanael was contacted and asked to come to the Wijaya Group's main building immediately. According to the orders, he had to go to Darius as soon as possible because his superior had something he wanted to talk about.

Without waiting for a long time, Nathanael rushed to leave. Arriving at the main building, he was immediately directed by Andrian to immediately enter the leadership room.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Adrian," Nathan said politely after Adrian invited him in.

Nathanael without hesitation stepped forward. Approaching Darius, who at that time had just finished a teleconference with one of his business partners in another country.

"Excuse me, sir," Nathan greeted when he believed Darius was ready to tell him something.

"Please sit down. I have something important to tell you."

Nathan nodded. The man immediately took a sitting position right in front of the man who was the main leader of the Wijaya Group.

There was a feeling of nervousness accompanying him at this moment. It was unusual for the Wijaya Group leader to suddenly ask him to appear in person like now. Even if there is important work, it is usually always represented by Velove or the division head.

"You read this first," Darius ordered while handing over a black folder containing important files that he had prepared.

For a moment, Nathan opened it then read the sheet that was in there. His eyes soon locked. There were several important points that made him understand what file Darius was presenting at the moment.

"Joint venture announcement letter from Foxtail Gold?"

Darius nodded.

"Yeah. I heard, you used to work for this company, right?"

Nathan nodded. Luckily he was never part of the company. Yes, even if only briefly. Because afterwards, he passed the selection to work in one of the branches of the Wijaya Group company that was out there.

"Yes, I was an employee there for one year. Foxtail Gold itself is a gold mining company from Canada that has mine sites spread across several countries. Having been part of them, I know that what this company produces is not only gold. But silver, copper and other mining products.

Darius smiled hearing Nathanael's explanation.

"Yes, you're right. And right now, Foxtail is looking for some bona fide contractors to do a joint venture to manage a giant gold mine located in China."

"Then what shall I do, sir?"

Darius smiled. Leaning his shoulders casually, the man folded his arms across his chest.

"As an expert staff, your performance really doesn't need to be doubted. Especially when looking at the overall work progress when handling tenders with Leighton, I don't know why, I'm very sure that this time you will also be able to make the Wijaya Group one of the candidates who pass. Not to mention, you been a part of them."

In a split second, Nathan gasped. He believed that Darius wanted him to do something.

"You mean, I----"

"Yeah," Darius interrupted, nodding. "I want you to represent the Wijaya Group to advance in this tender. And I'm sure, you will be able to bring the Wijaya Group through and become one of the contractors who succeeded in getting this prestigious tender."

Without waiting for a long time, Nathanael rushed to leave. Arriving at the main building, he was immediately directed by Andrian to immediately enter the leadership room.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Adrian," Nathan said politely after Adrian invited him in.

Nathanael without hesitation stepped forward. Approaching Darius, who at that time had just finished a teleconference with one of his business partners in another country.

"Excuse me, sir," Nathan greeted when he believed Darius was ready to tell him something.

"For God's sake, Win. I just finished work. And now? You told me to come to your house to help with this tender?"

Randy continued to grumble angrily. How could this slant-eyed man not be angry, when he, who had just come home from work, had been confronted and even asked by force to go to Darwin, who he said needed help.

"Who else can I ask for help, Ran? Samuel doesn't take care of tenders like this. If I ask about property, I might drag her along. Besides, in the Prawira family, you've never been directly involved in a joint venture project like this."

"Don't you specialize in mining?" snorted Randy while unraveling the tie that was wrapped around his neck roughly.

"But, I've never come face to face with Foxtail. As for you, I've worked with them when I was still in Singapore."

"Hey Jaka Sembung!" click Randy. "You have the wrong person. You should call Rama. The one who has worked with Foxtail is Rama, not me."

Darwin sighed resignedly as he massaged his forehead. He now remembered that the one who had worked directly with Foxtail was indeed Rama. Unfortunately, the man is currently in Korea.

"Then how am I?"

"I dont know!" Randy delict coolly. It's his own fault that his cousin just calls people without thinking first. "Anyways, for what purpose do you want to find out about Foxtail?"

Darwin, who was sitting on the couch, immediately leaned back. Stretch your muscles, then explain sober what's going on.

"Papa Velove asked me to take part in the joint venture tender selection that will be held by Foxtail in the near future. If I succeed, he will bless me to return to continue the household with Velove."

Randy shook her head in disbelief. Never thought that Darwin's problem could end up this complicated.

"You'd better just give up, Win," said Randy bluntly. Instead of being encouraged, the cursed cousin ordered Darwin to step down before the war.

"Why even back off?"

"I've made sure you will not escape aka successful."

"Damn it! Your prayer is so ugly," Darwin squeaked even more angrily.

"It's not a bad wish, Win. But just try to be realistic. Your rivals are definitely top class."

Darwin nodded. He agreed to that one sentence.

"Papa Darius even included his company in this selection and Nathan as their representative."

"So, maybe later if Nathan wins, he will be married to Velove."

Darwin pressed his lips together. Since then, Randy's words really made her blood boil.

"I will never let Nathan get Velove. Never. Either way, Velove has to come back to me."

The two of them were silent for a while. Realizing that Randy has no function whatsoever, Darwin immediately expels his cousin.

"Okay, you just go home. It doesn't matter because you've been here for a long time."

"You peanuts forget the skin. I've been forced here, it's my turn to need it, then I just throw it away. No wonder Vicky didn't get angry yesterday."

"How come you're carrying Vicky around, anyway!"

Randy laughed heartily. Instead of leaving immediately, the man even opened another topic.

"Eh but, what did you tell me about what day did it go on?"

Darwin's eyebrows immediately knit together.

"Which story?"

"That's the one who invited Vicky to work together to separate you and Velove. Have you asked who the person is? Or what are his characteristics?"

Darwin shook his head. The last meeting between him and Vicky did not have time to ask further because the woman was in a hurry.

"I didn't have time to ask. He was in such a hurry."

"Then, you don't take the initiative to ask via text message, is that it?"

"Is it okay if I send a message to Vicky?"

Rand was silent for a moment. Thinking and considering, then soon the man shook his head.

"I don't think it's okay. I'm also curious. Who is the man who has arrived at him. Is it Nathan or even Mr. Darius himself."

"I don't think it's possible for Mr. Darius. Vicky knows what his face looks like."

"Okay, try asking there. It's okay just to send this message. Besides, the content isn't flirting or anything. But, you have his cellphone number, right?"

Darwin nodded.

"I have. The last one he contacted me yesterday, I haven't deleted it at all. But, is this seriously okay?"

Randy nodded repeatedly. After receiving Randy's conviction and provocation, Darwin followed his cousin's words. Picked up the cell phone and sent a message to Vicky who was far away in Singapore.

"You have the wrong person. You should call Rama. The one who has worked with Foxtail is Rama, not me."

Darwin sighed resignedly as he massaged his forehead. He now remembered that the one who had worked directly with Foxtail was indeed Rama. Unfortunately, the man is currently in Korea.

Randy nodded repeatedly. After receiving Randy's conviction and provocation, Darwin followed his cousin's words. Picked up the cell phone and sent a message to Vicky who was far away in Singapore.

Darwin : Vicky, sorry if I disturb your time. I just want to clarify once again about the man you are working with.

After typing at length and having hesitated for a few seconds, Darwin finally sent the message. Luckily, it only took two minutes for Vicky to reply to what Darwin sent.

Vicky : What else do you want to ask, Win?"

Darwin : Can you mention the characteristics?

Vicky : I don't really remember.

After reading Vicky's reply together, Darwin and Randy thought for a moment. Then not long after, Randy spoke again and even suggested something.

"Win, try sending pictures of the guys around you and Velove. Who knows, after seeing this, Vicky will remember."

"That is true!"

Darwin then returned to sending several photos at once. From the photo of Darius, Adrian, who is Darius' assistant, and don't forget the photo of Nathan. Hopefully one of them is someone Vicky recognizes.

Vicky : I don't know all of them. And those three weren't the ones I met yesterday. As I recall, the person is not that young and not that old either. White skin and wearing formal clothes.

Darwin and Randy were again surprised to read Vicky's reply. Both of them were even more curious and at the same time guessing who the male figure who had met his ex-girlfriend was.

"Could it be, they used other people to meet, Vicky," muttered Randy while thinking.

"It means?"

"So, the mastermind behind the plan, deliberately ordered other people to meet Vicky. So that his guise would not be easily exposed."

Darwin nodded in agreement. There is some truth to what Randy just said.

"But..." Randy continued. "You don't have to think about it," the man suggested. "It doesn't matter anyway. After all, Vicky didn't accept his invitation to work together, right? It's a different story if Vicky agreed."

"Yeah, really. I'm just curious."

"Okay, happy curiosity. I want to go home. There's no point in me staying here too long. I just pray that your efforts will succeed. Even though I know it's impossible."

At that moment, Darwin immediately threw a chair cushion at Randy. Upset not playing over the ugly prayer that his cousin conveyed.

"I swear you're going to be in trouble too!" Darwin replied while leading Randy to the exit.

"No way. God has never been mean to good people like me."

Darwin rolled his eyes lazily. Just let it be after that Randy left the house.
