"What kind of joke is this?" muttered Jason as he read the message.
Jason still looked confused, but a smile appeared on his face. He knows this world is getting more sophisticated. Even the impostor does not discriminate in his intentions.
"He doesn't know that his target is poorer than them," chuckled Jason as he turned off his cellphone screen and put the simple cellphone into his trouser pocket.
He was about to continue his work, finishing up by lifting a few more sacks of rice. Jason hopes that this job will be finished quickly; his shoulders and hands feel so numb, and it's like he can't finish this job. Lifting tens of sacks of rice, which was only done by the three of them.
"Huft, finally finished," Jason muttered as he finished lifting the last sack.
He will soon give his body the right to rest. Waiting for the afternoon, they will usually lie down on a bamboo bed provided by the shop owner next to the shop under a cherry tree. They usually enjoy drinks and food provided by the shop owner.
Jason just threw his body in the bamboo bale, and again, his cell phone rang. Jason seemed to be looking for a cell phone in his trouser pocket before he wiped his hands, which looked dirty.
When looking at his cellphone screen, Jason frowned because the number was calling him again.
"Actually, who is he?" muttered Jason as he downed his glass of drink.
Jason looked at the screen of his cell phone, hesitating whether to answer or ignore it.
"Does it have to be answered?" Jason asked, confused, while scratching his head, which looked wet with sweat.
By steadying his heart, Jason finally answered the call. Because who knows it is an important phone?
"With Jason Maierer?" asked the soft voice on the other end of the phone, who immediately asked without waiting for Jason to say hello.
"Yeah, with whom?" asked Tama, surprised.
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very soft, and Jason seemed to pinch his arm for fear of being hypnotized, even though he had no property and even though the person wanted to hypnotize him.
"Introducing me, Ainsley, secretary of Dalton Corp.," said the voice.
"Hmmm," Jason replied as he heard Dalton's name again. I don't know what joke the woman named Ainsley is playing with Dalton Corp.
"You are expected to come to the office immediately tomorrow; at nine o'clock I will wait in my room," said Ainsley.
"Why should I come there?" Jason asked probingly because he was surprised that he was again asked to come to Dalton. Even though he never worked there.
"Since you're the current leader of Dalton, it's been almost two weeks that the chair of Dalton's leadership has been vacant," Ainsley explained.
Jason seemed to frown. He didn't understand what the woman named Ainsley said in a soft voice.
"You know Mr. Dagfinn, right?" asked Ainsley a few moments later because Jason was still silent with the cellphone pressed to his ear.
Jason was even more surprised when Ainsley even mentioned the name of the old man who he saved a few days ago from the cruelty of these thick-muscled men.
"I know," Jason answered slowly.
"Dalton is his company, and he entrusts the leadership to you. We're sorry we just contacted you because we just managed to get your cellphone number," explained Ainsley.
Jason was a little surprised when he heard Ainsley's explanation.
"Sorry, if you want to cheat or want to joke, don't be with me; I don't have anything that you can drain," explained Jason, annoyed.
Because, according to him, now is not the right time to play around.
"I'm serious; before he died, Mr. Dagfinn gave a will for the future of Dalton. And to be clearer about this matter, I'll be waiting tomorrow at Dalton's office!"
Tut!
After saying that, Ainsley hung up the phone. While Jason still looked confused. He couldn't believe what Ainsley was saying.
"Grandfather Dagfinn is dead? I'd better go to his house this afternoon. Let me know what happened to him," Jason muttered to himself as he put his cell phone back.
At night, Jason kept trying to close his eyes; even late into the middle of the night, he couldn't close his eyes.
Jason couldn't sleep well. His mind was focused on Esme, who had not given him any news until this morning.
And today, because of his frustration with Damien's family, Jason finally decided to accept Ainsley's offer, asking him to come to Dalton Corp.
"What's wrong with me trying? Hopefully there will really be job openings available for me. Whatever I want to be, I'll accept it, as long as there's a permanent job. And I can pick up Esme," Jason said quietly while tidying up the existing clothes, which he would use for the Daltons company.
According to Jason, what was wrong with him trying to trust Ainsley? Because last night he had been looking for information about Dalton, and it turned out that it was a company engaged in tours and travel and was currently venturing into the restaurant business. And it was written there that the name of the owner of Dalton was Dagfinn Dalton, which turned out to be the person Jason had helped a few days ago. And it turns out that Dalton stands for Dagfinn Tours.
"Unfortunately, Dagfinn's grandpa is gone, so I can't tell if this is serious or a prank," muttered Jason.
Jason was looking at himself in front of a small mirror that he found in the garbage box in front of the shop where he worked. You can see a face that looks wrinkled and dull there. You can even see black eyelids because every night you can't sleep thinking about your wife being forced apart.
"Ainsley asked for nine o'clock; I'd better be going there soon. From the folder I have, it looks like I have enough money to take a motorcycle taxi. I hope God will be with me," Jason said to himself.
And here is Jason this morning in front of the checkpoint to get into Dalton's office.
"Sorry, unauthorized entry is prohibited!" said a security guard, stopping Jason's footsteps in front of the Dalton Corp.
While the other security guard seemed to hold back his laughter when he saw Jason, I don't know what's funny enough to make him laugh. Jason felt a little embarrassed by the two security guards.
"I want to see Miss Ainsley!" Jason answered firmly.
The security guard, who had been holding back his laughter since earlier, finally chuckled.
"How can Mrs. Ainsley want to meet someone who is stressed?" Can't you see your own appearance?"
"We wear neat clothes, and you wear flip-flops! This is not good manners, let alone visiting," explained the security guard, laughing.
Jason saw his own appearance, and to him, it was normal. He has no shoes. His shoes were all left at Damien's family house. So, today Jason can only wear flip-flops.
"Have you made an appointment with Miss Ainsley?" asked the security guard again.
"No. But he asked me to come here today," explained Jason.
The two security guards laughed. They did not believe what Jason said.
"Since when did Mrs. Ainsley know the trash and come here impolitely? Has Mrs. Ainsley tired of her classy association?" said one of the security guards, who was greeted with laughter by his colleagues.
They chuckled while looking at Jason's appearance with the corners of his eyes; they thought Jason was just pretending to be acquainted with the beautiful Ainsley.
"Don't be kidding, you better get out of here; Mrs. Ainsley is busy; she doesn't have time to serve people like you," explained the security guard, waving his hand as a sign asking Jason to leave.
Seeing Jason's appearance in flip-flops made the security guard not believe he had any business with Ainsley. So that makes security make fun of and insult Jason.
"I don't want to argue; I'm going to see Miss Ainsley!" Jason said it angrily. Jason's eyes widened and reddened with anger.
The two security men still didn't let Jason in.
"Ms. Ainsley never wants to meet random people, especially people like you who are crazy like this," replied the security guard.
"And you better leave this office; we still have a lot of other work," said both of them to Jason.
****
Jason still chose silence, and he sighed heavily. There was a feeling of tightness and anger that he was currently holding back.According to his heart, his emotions could no longer be contained because of the insults from the two security guards.While the two security guards were still holding back their laughter, they saw Jason, who was nervous."It's been said that Ms. Ainsley won't want to be disturbed; she still wants to force it. You are nobody in Ainsley's eyes," said the security guard, who was greeted with insults from his colleague."Has Mrs. Ainsley come?" Jason asked later, still trying to be friendly to the two security guards.They even laughed uproariously."Yes, that's clear. Mrs. Ainsley is the person who is the most on time and arrives the earliest!" replied one of the security guards.Jason looked like he was sighing; he was a little surprised when Ainsley came because, while he was at the post, he didn't see Ainsley come and enter the office."And it seems that yo
"What is this?" asked Jason in surprise while accepting the paper in Ainsley's hand."You can read, right?" asked Ainsley sarcastically.Jason took a deep breath, then began to read the message on the single sheet of paper.How shocked Jason was when he read the letter. It turns out it was a letter from Grandpa Dagfinn saying that the Dalton Company and its other subsidiaries started at that time under the leadership of Jason Mairer. And all property ownership is in Jason's name, such as a luxurious house located on the side of the main road, including a rickety house adjoining the luxury house.After reading the letter, Jason looked at Ainsley sharply."Is it serious?" Jason asked, not believing what he was reading."You have a brain to think, right? You think this is a joke?" Ainsley was annoyed as he stomped his pen on the glass table."But why?" muttered Jason in surprise.Jason couldn't stop thinking about everything. It turned out that Dagfinn's grandfather was a rich man, and v
"You are crazy?" Jason asked Ainsley."I didn't make it! Don't be careless; I'm just conveying a message!" shouted Ainsley angrily. She actually didn't know anything about it because, indeed, he was just conveying a message from Mr. Dagfinn."How can I be asked to return to the wrong person's path when I don't even know his path?" Jason was annoyed while brushing his hair roughly.Ainsley watched Jason's face with a smile, then just shook his head."You don't know Mr. Dagfinn's son yet?" asked Ainsley then. Because almost everyone in Dalton knows Addison, the only son of Dalton's owner. Not even a small amount of property had been spent by Addison, and at this time, if Mr. Dagfinn did not give Addison the inheritance rights, it was very reasonable. Moreover, Mr. Dagfinn told Ainsley that Jason was a good man and was the one who dared to help him when he was almost finished off by Addison's hired thugs."I don't even know who it is!" answered Jason, frustrated."Later he will definitel
"Later you will know who Mr. Dagfinn is; it is clear that he believes in you," said Ainsley with a smile.After feeling that there was nothing to talk about, Ainsley motioned for Jason to leave his room. And in order to immediately come to Dalton and not let DaltonAfter Dalton, Jason returned to the market where he worked. He wanted to leave the shop; however, when he arrived at the shop, he had not had time to explain the purpose of his arrival; the shop owner had ordered him to pick up flour sacks.Without arguing, Jason continued to do his job, even though the clothes he wore were slightly different from usual. While lifting the flour unexpectedly, Esme suddenly came to the market."Jason," Esme repeated as she drew closer.Jason's face reddened when their eyes met. Jason was embarrassed by his current state in front of his wife. Jason felt like a useless husband.Meanwhile, the burden that is on Jason's shoulders has been taken over by Budi because it was indeed the last sack for
"That's your money, Esme," Jason said quietly."Aren't we husband and wife? We have the right to live together and enjoy the money we have," Esme said, still persuading Jason.Jason seemed speechless hearing Esme's request, for Jason returning to the Damien family's house was the same as licking his own spit. Jason will never return to the Damien family's home."Sorry, I haven't been able to return to your family home, and I also can't use your money to rent a house. Give me time to find a home on my own, and I'll come get you, honey," Jason said, looking at Esme lovingly.However, Jason didn't dare touch Esme in the slightest. He was insecure about his dirty and smelly body, whereas Esme looked clean and smelled good."Jason, I know you are a hard worker, but for now, let's use the available money. You can think of borrowing if you don't want to be seen as borrowing money from me. You can pay at any time, and most importantly, we will live together. Isn't it true that husband and wif
Who?" asked Esme in a half-whisper while smoothing her messy hair.Jason shook his head. He took the clothes hanging on the wall and put them on in a hurry.Jason then made sure that the clothes worn by Esme were neat again; there were no exposed parts. Because Jason didn't want anyone to see some red marks made by him on Esme's white and smooth body,"I'm scared," Esme said softly, holding Jason's hand tightly."Don't worry, no one can hurt you. I will protect you, even if it costs your life," Jason answered softly, then kissed Esme's forehead gently. Jason hugged Esme tightly to give his wife peace."Quickly open the door!" shouted a voice from outside for some time.The rented door kept banging on many times before Jason opened the door. Jason approached the door, followed by Esme's footsteps from behind, who held Jason's arm tightly. Esme's hands seemed to be sweating coldly from fright."Could it be Papa's messenger?" whispered Esme again, who kept clinging to Jason's body
"No, Ma," Jason answered slowly, shaking his head.Plaque! Plaque!"What do you want, Jason? Want to make Esme suffer?" Aice asked, slapping Jason's face hard.Jason held his hot face, and even though he didn't reply to every harsh word spoken by Aice, his mother-in-law,"I'm sorry. Jason can't comply with Mama's wishes. Until whenever Jason will not divorce Esme," Jason said slowly.Jason knelt before Aice; Jason even took Aice's hand to apologize."I'm sorry," Jason said quietly, still looking down.Aice shook Jason's hand roughly; she didn't want his hand to be held by Jason's dirty hands."Get away from me, Jason! I'm not close to someone who smells like that! And also, I don't want viruses and germs from your body to spread to mine!" Aice shouted angrily.Jason's heart ached to hear what Aice said to him. As if he were a dangerous virus. Jason took a few steps back, and unexpectedly, Aice was even spitting all over her body because
"Let me go!" Jason shouted angrily and rebelled until he was released from the grip of Damien's two bodyguards.However, the two men held Jason's hand again, so Jason couldn't chase Damien's car that was carrying Esme.Jason was angry that he attacked carelessly towards the two bodyguards.Jason was upset, and again, Jason couldn't help Esme.After Jason went crazy and managed to hit the two people's faces to make their faces bleed, Jason let go so roughly that he fell to the floor and groaned in pain."Don't ever be reckless enough to approach non-Esme again! If you don't want to die in vain!" The two men threatened while kicking Jason's stomach while he was still lying on the floor.Jason groaned in pain and held his stomach.Braaaaak!Two of Damien's bodyguards came out of a small patch of Jason's shabby room, spitting.Ouch!"You scum man dreaming of becoming a king, you will control the master's property!" shouted one of the two people leaving Jason's rented room.Jaso
Kring! Kring!Jason immediately grabbed Esme's cell phone from Esme's hand, and he was sure that it was Aice who called. Don't know what made Jason so sure. Because all parents will definitely not make their children suffer. Jason was sure Damien and Esme felt the same way."Hello, where are you at the hospital?" asked Aice in a hoarse voice. And sounds like she's been crying.It turned out that Jason was right, if it was Aice who called them.Then Jason explained to Aice which hospital he was in. And the one thing that surprised Jason the most was when Aice said she and Damien would be coming soon. Could it be that the two of them came to their senses after becoming hot news in various media outlets?Or just realized they had wronged Jason and Esme.Jason smiled when he heard that Damien and Aice would soon follow him to the hospital where Esme was being treated.Jason felt this was progress when he heard Aice calling in a hoarse voice. She had been crying. He knew that, as a mother, A
"What is it?" asked Esme, who apparently realized the rage Jason felt."E-uh, what, honey? Do you want something?" Jason asked, surprised to find that Esme wasn't asleep.And his wife noticed him.Esme shook her head."You, are there any problems again?" Esme asked quietly."Oh no, I just want to ask for a report with Mr. James," Jason replied with a smile.Esme nodded and went back to trying to rest again and forget everything that happened today.Meanwhile, Jason was engrossed in his cellphone screen and tried again and again to call Mr. James's number.Jason felt that something was slightly different from the report, which is why he immediately asked Mr. James for clarification. I'm afraid that Jason doesn't understand Dagfinpolo's reporting or that there's something odd about the report.Jason didn't want to be careless in understanding the reports, and he needed information from Mr. James.He called Mr. James four times, and only then did he get an answer; maybe he was busy. Or
"Did he really do that, sir? Jason asked Mr. Tatang."Yeah, he just filed a report; he said you ganged up on him in a public place, right?" asked Mr. Tatang then.Jason could only sigh.Jason then explained the incident at the steak restaurant, where he wanted to leave the restaurant and enter Ataraja, which offended him, and then it was Jason who pulled Ataraja's collar, but he didn't do anything.Ataraja summoned the guards, and Jason was helped by other visitors. The people who helped him will become witnesses if this is indeed an Ataraja case.Jason asked Mr. Tatang to immediately take the CCTV in the restaurant; he explained that he was currently in the hospital because his wife had fainted."I'm sorry, Mr. Jason. I didn't know that now I'm actually in the hospital," said Mr. Tatang.It turned out that Mr. Tatang had not seen the news on television at this time. He didn't think that Esme was sick because of her parents.Mr. Tatang promised to take care of everything soon and aske
Jason panicked even more; he immediately drove his car at high speed, looking for the nearest clinic or hospital so that Esme could get help immediately."Darling, just hang on, and you'll get help in a bit," Jason said to Esme."I'm sorry, honey. All because I followed your will to go back inside. I should have refused your wish," Jason said, then continued to feel guilty.Jason really couldn't forgive himself if anything happened to Esme and their child.It didn't take long for Jason to see a small clinic located a few meters in front of him. Jason immediately entered the courtyard of the clinic and stopped in front of the ER.Jason screamed frantically like a madman after getting out of the car."Doctor! Nurse! Help my wife!" Jason shouted frantically.The doctor and nurse on duty immediately brought over the gurney and swiftly carried Esme to get help.Jason followed behind, after previously asking the hospital security officer to park his car. Because he couldn't just let Esme in
Jason and Esme looked towards the source of the sound and found Damien and Aice, who were also at the mall.Jason heaved a heavy sigh because of something they had been avoiding so much and had come here for. Even though Jason didn't want to see Damien and Aice anymore."Finally meeting you here," said Aice, who walked closer to Esme."Yes, Mama, what's wrong?" Esme asked then, with a heavy sigh.Aice pouted."You're asking what's wrong? It's like you just don't know what's wrong with you, Esme!" Aice shouted angrily.Esme actually already knew what Aice wanted to say; Aice had contacted them many times. However, it can't. Because indeed, Esme had blocked her parents' numbers.Aice is still trying to ask Esme to have an abortion, because for Aice to have a grandchild from Esme's relationship with a poor man like Jason and a former scavenger is something very embarrassing.Even though Aice's eyes actually lit up seeing that Esme was pregnant.It wasn't Jason who was expected to become
"Don't you know who we are here? We were visitors to this restaurant earlier, but we are so sick of seeing your sudden presence that you suddenly insult Mr. Jason," said the person to Ataraja."You are Jason's gang!" shouted Ataraja, who did not accept."We have known Mr. Jason since the case at Dalton came out. How many times has Mr. Jason been caught on camera? Only once did he receive interviews from reporters during the accident at Dalton, and we saw once that he is a good person and a person who doesn't like looking for trouble. with other people.""Earlier, we saw for ourselves that he had avoided meeting you. But you were the one chasing him!" continued the man."So we are moved to help Jason here because we want to eradicate all the crimes that you have committed, Ataraja! Especially when you say his father was a scavenger."Don't know why the people there suddenly hate Ataraja so much. And indeed, good people everywhere always get help, like Jason at this time.Even though Ja
"Yes, I'm Esme, sir. Who are you?" Esme asked the father, frowning, trying to remember who the father in front of her was."Oh my gosh, you're already this big," said the father to Esme, making Esme even more confused.Jason was still sitting quietly and watching the father, paying attention to what kind of movements he was making, but if, for example, the father wanted to hug Esme, Jason would not allow it."Yes, sir," Esme answered slowly. However, no doubt, his gaze displayed doubt and confusion."I'am Rustam, used to work at your house when you were little," he explained.Esme seemed silent for a moment and tried to remember her childhood."My goodness, sir. How are you?" asked Esme to Mr. Rustam, who turned out to be the man of the gardener who used to live in his house when she was a child. They have a daughter who accompanies Esme to play every day, and it turns out that only now have they been reunited.It turned out that Mr. Rustam and his wife were enjoying lunch in this cit
"Why, are you surprised?" asked Esme, surprised to see Jason, who looked surprised to hear what Esme said."It's okay, honey," answered Jason, who then invited Esme to get into his car, and they would soon go to a mall.Esme just nodded.Along the way to the mall, Esme still seemed busy thinking about Anida, which she thought was really weird. I came to the hotel only two hours later with men."Or could Anida sell herself?" asked Esme, who was surprised and covered her mouth. Esme just realized that Anida was behaving strangely."Hah!"Jason looked surprised to hear his question from Esme. Jason didn't expect Esme to finally notice that.Jason then just shook his head and frowned. Jason chose to remain silent and not answer questions from his wife."How come you don't answer?" she asked."Okay, let's not talk about other people," Jason replied slowly.The two of them fell silent again, watching the speed of the vehicles passing by on the road, which was quite congested. Because it jus
"Anida?" said Esme, frowning."Yes!" She replied curtly."What are you doing here? Since when did you come home?" she asked."It's up to me what to do here!" answered the woman called Anida; she seemed to let go of her hands on a man who seemed much older than her.Esme just nodded."What are you doing here, Esme? Selling yourself?" asked Anida, who looked at Jason cynically, especially when she saw Jason carrying a thick folder."My husband and I are staying here again. Because this is my husband's hotel," Esme answered casually while hugging Jason's arm tightly.Anida's eyes widened. She, who turned out to be a distant cousin of Esme, looked surprised. Maybe she hasn't read the news. Because all this time, Anida lived abroad."Ha ha ha.""You don't dream, Esme. You can't have a husband who owns a hotel," Anida argued."Meet Jason Mairer and her husband, Esme Damien. I am the owner of Dalton, and this hotel is either owned by Dalton or owned by Dalton!" Jason explained this to Anida
