Her car speeding along the road towards the Genesis company, Lilia sat by the window and looked across the street peacefully.
With a steep slope, the car suddenly braked. Lilia jolted and sped forward spontaneously due to the sudden movement.
"Madame!"
Dina wanted to protect her, so she called her honorary title without thinking.
After the car stopped, Dina's face turned pale. "Madame, are you alright?"
Lilia carefully gripped her stomach, turned her head towards DIna and blinked. "I'm okay. Why did you ... suddenly call me that?"
Even though the car suddenly braked, Dina's hand was already on her lap. And when Lilia's body was being held by the seat belt, she immediately pulled it up. Fortunately, there was nothing serious about this incident.
Dina's face was pale. She forgot to answer Lilia.
"Looks like there's a car accident ahead." Rini was also very upset. She was driving well, but the car in front suddenly turned on its tail lights for some reason.
She kept a safe distance between her and the cars up front. There was no problem at all, but the car in front of them suddenly stopped, which caused her to forcefully slam on the brakes.
Rini thought that if the young master's wife had an accident while she and Dina worked, they might both really die.
Lilia was distracted by Rini's words. She no longer cared about the title that Dina used earlier.
She looked out of the car window and said, "Then just turn around."
Traffic accidents couldn't be avoided. But, unfortunately, Lilia didn't take it seriously.
After Rini answered, she turned the wheel to the traffic flow on the left.
When the car passed, Lilia glanced out the window, and someone was lying on their back on the ground...
"Wait!" Lilia shouted.
Rini then slowed down and said, "What's wrong?"
"Up ahead, stop sideways."
Rini was confused, but she did it anyway.
Their vehicle stopped right at the intersection, the two of them looking at Lilia simultaneously.
She pondered for a moment, and there were waves in her eyes. Then, "Dina, get out of the car to help sort it out, take that person to the hospital."
"Fine."
She didn't know what to do, but she didn't ask many questions and hurriedly closed the car door after getting out of the car.
Rini turned. "Are we going to wait for her?"
"No, we are going to the company. After dropping me off, come back and meet Dina. I'll pay for the medical expenses."
Rini nodded, and drove back the car.
This episode seemed no different.
But Rini clearly felt that Lilia's expression was a bit heavy along the way.
At the intersection of the road where the car accident happened, many people could be seen flocking around making a crowd. Some of the drivers even stood in front of the car cursing.
"Are you blind! How could such a collision occur? I was driving well and you fell right in front of my car!"
"Don't lie, I have a recorder in my car! If you don't wake up, I have to call the police and say that you are pretending to be hit and about to blackmail! "
Eyes tightly closed, the person laid motionless on the cold ground.
Dina pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward briskly. That person's pale face was immediately visible.
This is bad!
...
After Lilia arrived at the company, she stepped onto the stairs and walked to the revolving door.
She lowered her head and suddenly pushed people as she approached the door.
The other party fell to the ground with a document in his hand. His face was a little ugly, and his words were harsh. "Are you blind? What do you not see on the road?
Lilia wore sunglasses and a mask, covering her face very tightly. She slowly raised her head and saw a familiar face— Oliver.
She lowered her voice, apologized, and was planning to squat to help him retrieve the document.
Oliver showing up at the company really took her by surprise.
"Don't touch my stuff!" Oliver screamed nervously. He closed the open folder on the ground first and looked around warily as he held it in his arms.
When Lilia narrowed her eyes, this man seemed to have violated her eyes' rights to a pleasant sight.
Oliver was dressed like a standard office man. He took the document again and glanced at Lilia. "Walk carefully in the future."
After speaking, he stomped his foot and quickly left the lobby.
Lilia was standing there looking at him hastily leaving, then thought about something else.
'Jean, what are you planning to do?!'
Oliver has divulged the amount of the company's offer.
Recently, he came to Surabaya and appeared here ...
...
Meanwhile, inside the president's office is upstairs.
There, only two assistants were seen working overtime.
Today is still a holiday from New Year's Eve. The entire company building looked very quiet and empty.
Since Lilia was already a regular, she walked to the office door and knocked on it. Then a man comes from inside. "Come in!"
She pushed open the door and walked in, and as she stood at the door, she pulled her mask to her chin. "Mr. Widjaya, do you have time?"
The man lifted his eyes from the documents, and when he saw her, he raised his eyebrows. "I have time!"
Lilia walked in with a smile, and she asked, "Are you busy?"
"I always have time for my wife."
Lilia walked over to the coffee table, then sat down while taking off her hat and glasses. The man then narrowed his eyes. "Are you not happy?"
Jean easily noticed the change in her attitude.
Even though Lilia is smiling, her eyes are filled with sadness.
The man put down his pen, took her hand, and took her aside. "What's wrong?"
The woman could only smile bitterly. "Am I that obvious?"
"Of course! Well, what happened? Let's talk!"
The man took her to sit beside the sofa. He carefully watched her fingers, which kept rubbing her sunglasses.
He waited patiently, and Lilia didn't hesitate for too long. Finally, she sighed and told the truth, "On the way here, I saw ... Robert!"
"Did you get into a fight?"
Lilia shook her head. "No! It looks like there was a car accident at that time. I only get a glimpse of him. He was lying on the ground and I didn't get out of the car. Is that too cruel?"
The man patted her thin lips slightly and pinched her cheeks. "What's cruel?"
"I wanted to get out of the car, but there were so many people at that time and I was afraid to get mixed up, so ... I asked Dina to take him to the hospital."
She hasn't seen him again until now.
Even having a chance for an encounter today was unexpected.
Maybe the time has passed, so she can face her father in peace.
She just didn't expect it in such a situation.
"Since that person was sent to the hospital, isn't that good? Call Dina later and find out." The man said to comfort her, but Lilia asked instead. "How much debt will the Pangestu family have to pay after the bankruptcy?"
"Less than 25 billion."
"Oh." Lilia nodded unconsciously while the man squeezed her palm. "Want to pay for them?"
"Not!" Lilia denied it outright. "It's not that much money, but Leila's problem hasn't been resolved.. I won't help them easily."
