Chapter 289 - Ordinary Dinner
"Uncle, can you get Raisa out of jail first?" Nico asked. His head felt dizzy from taking care of this problem. On the one hand, he was Raka's best friend. But on the other hand, he couldn't act without his uncle's approval.
"Absolutely not!" Aiden firmly refused. "Remind our lawyers, Raisa should not get a suspension of detention, even for medical reasons. She should be jailed until the contract is signed,"
Nico's face immediately turned a little pale. He said doubtfully, "Uncle, Raka would like to see me tonight to discuss it. Can we let Raisa stay in the hospital while we try to strike a deal? Raisa is really going to go crazy in the prison cell."
"The cooperation agreement process only takes three to five days if you can do it quickly. Once Raisa gets a suspension of detention, this cooperation will end," Aiden said calmly. "No matter what Raka says, don't be sorry for him. If you are afraid to offend your best friend, make me the criminal,"
"Okay. I'll say you disagree," Nico was relieved to find that his uncle was willing to take it all on.
"How was your conversation with Andre?" Aiden asked.
"Uncle Andre is a very careful person. Even though he didn't have any previous accomplishments, there was nothing wrong with the way he worked either. I talked to him a lot. He offered to help me, but the company…" Nico wanted to continue, but he stopped.
"After the cooperation is underway, provide a small project for the company. Then, increase the price and sell the company. That way, he can work more calmly beside you. He has to sell his company if he wants help from us," Aiden said coldly.
Nico couldn't stop himself from saying, "Uncle, Uncle Andre didn't do anything wrong, but you kicked him out of the company. Wouldn't it be cruel if you asked him to come back and help me on the condition that he sell his company?"
"If only he could do something for the Atmajaya Group, of course I wouldn't fire him. He's been at this company for a long time, but he's done nothing. Can you equate not making mistakes to an achievement if there is nothing he does?"
Aiden's words left Nico speechless.
Then he continued, "Give him a small project to increase the price of his company. Then sell the company so that he too can get a profit to help his family. After that, he can work with you. He's enough to pay for his retirement with that money,"
Nico nodded. "Uncle Andre has no children. He only has one adopted daughter who is abroad. He has no offspring who can help him or continue his company in the future. Without our help, he is completely helpless,"
Aiden nodded. "For the matter of cooperation with the Mahendra family, the sooner the cooperation is achieved the better," he ordered Nico.
"Yes, Uncle!" Nico was about to leave after reporting everything to Aiden. But before leaving, he asked, "Uncle, are you busy? Why are you working overtime today?"
"If you want to interfere, I..."
"I don't want to know uncle. I will go!" Nico didn't wait for Aiden's answer and disappeared as fast as lightning.
Harris entered Aiden's office when he saw Nico running away from the room in a hurry.
"Sir, Miss Keara is coming. She's downstairs," Harris said.
"What is she doing here?" Aiden's face looked displeased with that.
Harris knew right away once he saw Aiden's expression and said, "I'll tell her to leave."
Before Harris could do so, Aiden's eyes flashed a cold gleam. "Let her in,"
"Sir, Miss Keara still loves you. This can lead to misunderstandings that you don't want. Better not get in touch with her too much," Harris suggested.
"Do you think Anya will care?" Aiden laughed at himself. "She wants to divorce me so I can marry Keara,"
Harris was silent for a moment and immediately understood Aiden's intention. "Madame is very young. She still doesn't understand what you want and what she wants for herself,"
"It's not because she's young, she loves me but not as much as she says. That's why she is willing to give me to another woman," Aiden said with gloomy eyes. "Book me a place at a flashy restaurant. I'm going to have dinner with Keara,"
"Do you want to tell the media?" Harris asked.
"No need. They will find out by themselves," Aiden said casually.
"Very well, I will escort Miss Keara upstairs."
Aiden leaned back in his chair. In order to make Anya realize everything, he had to use a small strategy.
If Anya didn't understand her own desires, Aiden would help her come to her senses. At the same time, Aiden also wanted to know if Anya was really willing to give him to another woman just like that.
Keara waited on the lower floor of the Atmajaya Group company for a long time, but she still looked elegant. Her face showed absolutely no impatience and always adorned it with a smile.
When she saw Harris walking out of the elevator, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Miss, sorry to make you wait so long. Master told me to pick you up. Please come this way," Harris said politely.
"Thank you, Harris." Keara followed Harris with a smile and walked towards the elevator together.
When Keara walked into the president director's office, Aiden was speaking French on the phone discussing work. He kept calling even after Keara walked in until ten minutes had passed.
After hanging up, Keara immediately got up from the sofa and said with a smile, "Aiden, I'm sorry I didn't tell you first and came here right away."
"I still have to work," Aiden said coldly.
"I want to apologize. Last night, I drank so much wine that I lost control of my feelings. I am really, really sorry!" Keara lowered her gaze slightly, showing that she was truly sorry.
Aiden looked at her with a smile. "I don't understand what you are talking about. I've forgotten everything. Now that you're here, how about we have dinner to celebrate our reunion?"
Keara looked at Aiden with joy. "Dinner? us?"
"I've asked Harris to book a restaurant. After finishing my work, we can go," Aiden said calmly.
Keara couldn't hide her excitement. Aiden asked her to dinner! And just the two of them!
Did that mean she still had a chance?
"Don't worry about me. I'll wait while reading a magazine. Just finish your work first," Keara said with a smile.
Aiden didn't care about Keara anymore and kept himself busy.
Meanwhile, outside Aiden's office, Harris sent a message to Nico. It was proof of a restaurant reservation made by Aiden.
After seeing it, Nico immediately replied to Harris. "Aren't my uncle and aunt very romantic?"
Harris only replied with one word. "Keara."
Seeing Harris's answer, Nico immediately called him. "Harris, what do you mean? My uncle and Keara are going on a date?"
"Miss Keara is waiting at the office, sir. After Mr. Aiden finishes his work, they'll go out to dinner," Harris said.
"Is my uncle cheating?" Nico couldn't believe it.
"Mr. Nico, be careful of what you say. They're just going to have a casual dinner," Harris said seriously.
"What kind of casual dinner can be done with an ex-lover? Did uncle intend to cheat on auntie? I have to tell auntie immediately. I won't let Uncle come back to Keara," after hanging up the phone, Nico immediately called Anya.
