COMPLICATED OFFERS

A good gust of wind is etched inside a modern-toned room belonging to a perfectionist man. His stern face began to widen when a woman came to give him the good news. The two also had an intimate date after not seeing each other for several weeks that had passed.

"Hey, what's the matter? Why are you reluctant to let me go like this?" asked Arthur Ellios very warmly.

Clora began to smile wrenchingly. "You have been working very hard in the office for a few days. You forgot about me," she replied spoiledly.

Arthur again walked closer to the entrance. He also immediately locked the door so that no one would enter his private room.

"Clora, stop this action of yours. We could get into more serious trouble if anyone sees you like this." Arthur seemed to be very uneasy about the actions of his intimate friend.

Clora began to stop her actions. "Hm, you always hide me from everyone. Why don't you be straightforward with everything?"

"Do you want one of us out of this company? However, if I'm honest, I don't want that to happen. Now you'd better just go back to work. Don't waste your time just meeting me here, Clo," Arthur said, still feeling very uneasy about his career.

After the woman left, she got a call from the board of directors. He also returned to be in charge of an important project of the Alliance Biotech Corporation company which is engaged in the engineering of living things. In order to support a better career, Arthur began to consider the offer well before telling his members.

"Hm, Sir. I'll reconsider it. I can't decide for myself either. I need time to talk about it with other fellow members," Arthur explained with great courtesy.

"Very well, but it's a pity that you guys refused this good job. You can all get high compensation along with a better promotion," said the man with blue beads.

Arthur also felt very tempted by the benefits already given by the main board of directors. All day long, he was still thinking about the job offer he would make together with his teammates. However, he will spend a lot of time completing the project. On the one hand, he is also eager to spend his youth together with a beloved woman.

A beautiful afternoon graced the return trip to the existing residence in western Okville. After parking the vehicle, he accidentally listened to some unfavorable news in the West Vago area. A very prosperous area, it is now experiencing heavy losses due to pests and some rodents that freely destroy rice crops. Of course, the news he had heard made him feel very pitiful.

With a sad look, he began to step on his feet inside the modern residence. For almost five years, he also lived alone in a luxurious residence that had been abandoned by his family. A sense of loneliness and emptiness continued to accompany every pore of his mind. However, he is also determined to survive without anyone there.

"They've all gone far and calmed down in the afterlife. I can't possibly keep asking God to return them in order to see this success of yours." Arthur began to lay his body on the soft sofa in the family room.

The intention of the heart wanted to rest, but his hands were too itchy to press on the television controller in front of him. Almost all the news regarding the chaos that occurred in the area of the city of Vago. It seems that the problem that occurred is indeed very big. He also began to reconsider the offer that had been made by his superiors.

There was not one project he failed to do during his three years working at the company. Of course, his confidence is getting bigger about it. With a confident look, he began to contact one of his colleagues on the Genetic Engineering One team.

["Once contacted me? What's the matter? Is there a problem inside the office?"] asked Matteo, the handsome guy who was very close to Arthur in the office.

["There is an important task. The profit is also very tempting. However, the task assigned is also not easy. Do we have to accept this project in order to sustain a more decent life?"] Arthur asked with a smile that still accompanied his thin lips.

["Ah, just accept it. Why ask me that? We can discuss it tomorrow with the team. Honestly, I would have accepted the offer without thinking."]

Arthur began to change his sitting position. ["We must fight the pests that are the main point in the chaos that exists in the city of Vago. At first, I thought that creating a high-yielding variety would be very easy because the place had very fertile soil. However, the problem is not as easy as we think.'']

Matteo also began to frown his forehead after listening to the explanation from the stern-faced and cold-faced man. ["Hm, I see, yes. Yes, there is nothing wrong with trying. Haha, again dealing with pests. However, we have to work even harder to prevent it. The previous project was also successful, 'right?"]

Arthur began to sniff his breath for a time. ["The project is very dangerous. We cannot engineer animals and resist God's performance."]

Arthur understood that the actions he took would be bad for the food chain. However, his friend's remarks also have some truth. They have to genetically engineer the animals to paralyze the systems in the animal's body that are the main problem. Only in a way that their project will succeed perfectly without any hindrance whatsoever.

Early the next morning, he again got the news from the main board of directors. His leisurely steps also looked hurried again after getting the call. Unexpectedly, the leader of the company also intervened in submitting this important project to his group. Upon entering the room, all the gaze immediately fell on him.

"Sorry, I'm a little late," said the man standing behind Arthur.

"Mat, why is it always present like this and surprises me?" said Arthur very softly.

"Ah, don't ask so much because everyone who is here is looking at our activities. We'd better get to the sitting time in this meeting." Matteo immediately pulled his friend's hand to go inside.

During the meeting, Arthur continued to focus on the moderator who was explaining all the projects. There are some very tempting advantages. However, there are also obstacles that they have to pass there. When they were done, they began to stare at each other. Want to accept, but feel unsure of the actions they will take going forward. Those in the first team already know very well how the engineering they have created before performs. 

"No one answered my question. So, how? For the first team? Are you guys going to accept this project or vice versa? Don't worry about the benefits you will have after completing this task," said Clora, who happened to be the speaker at the meeting.
