The System of Power is Money Chapter 49
Citra parked her car at one of the quite well-known cafes in her city. It was a good distance from Citra's new office, where the woman worked."Why did he even ask me to meet him? So annoying," Citra muttered, making an irritated expression.She then shifted her gaze, looking around the area. There was no one she recognized there.Citra's irritation grew, as she couldn't find the person who had made her make an excuse to be there.Actually, Citra also didn't understand why she had to keep secret from Ethan who she was meeting. She shouldn't have done that because that man had absolutely no connection to Citra's life.But when that man had asked earlier, suddenly Citra's mouth felt sealed shut, and she could only say that she had a brief errand."Excuse me, Miss. Are you Miss Citra?" the waiter asked, approaching Citra.Citra, who had just been about to type something on her phone to curse the man who had wasted so much of her time, abandoned that intention."Yes, I am."The waiter the

"Good morning, Mrs. Citra!"Citra's usually flat and cold facial expression gradually changed to show a slightly friendlier aura.However, aside from those two traits being ingrained characteristics of hers, Citra was also currently enveloped in a feeling of irritation that made it difficult to control herself.Citra closed her eyes as she passed by some employees who greeted her.Regardless, Citra was currently the new person who should be able to bring positive energy to those around her.It's just that there was no way around it, it was difficult for Citra to do all that.Citra hurried to her office, closing the door behind her as she leaned against it."Are you okay?"That question made Citra shift her gaze. She had just realized that she was no longer alone in the room.There was Ethan, focused on his computer, sitting calmly at his desk.Citra shook her head, indicating that she was fine."Seems strange," Ethan muttered, as if he could read the woman's mind.He then refocused on

Amel hurriedly ended her conversation with the stranger she had accidentally met.For some reason, Amel felt like there was something off about that man. Amel quickly looked for an excuse and then went to the cashier to pay."It seems strange. I clearly heard him talk about knowing me. What did he mean? I had just seen him for the first time," Amel mumbled anxiously.She turned on her phone screen, it already showed 4 pm. Soon Citra and Ethan would be home."I need to get back to the apartment quickly or Ethan and Citra will worry looking for me," Amel mumbled hurriedly, about to leave.However, before she could take a step, a hand suddenly stopped her movement.Amel gasped, swallowing hard.Her body trembled heavily, clearly feeling a sense of fear that made her hands sweat."Hey! Don't be afraid, I mean you no harm," said the figure who had accidentally met her earlier."Please, don't bother me. I already apologized for the accident earlier. I beg you, I'm just new around here," Ame

"Drink this first," Citra said, handing the girl a glass of water. It was clear how traumatized Amel still felt after facing everything that happened.With hands still slightly trembling, Amel took the water and drank about half of it.Citra then sat down next to the girl, putting her arm around her and rubbing her shoulders to calm her down."You're safe now. Don't be afraid anymore, okay? Next time, if you need something, you can ask the security guard for help or call me or Ethan. Don't go out alone again, okay?" Citra said, looking worried about the girl's condition.Amel, feeling guilty for not asking their permission first, had a remorseful look on her face. With tears streaming down, she looked down, glancing between Citra and Ethan."I'm sorry, sis. Ethan, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have done that," Amel replied, regretting her actions.Ethan, initially overwhelmed by emotion, slowly began to calm himself down. He then nodded and brought the girl into an embrace."Don't go out

Richard returned to his apartment, this time not in good condition but enveloped in the scent of alcohol scattered within him.Actually, everything was intentionally planned by Richard. He purposely paid someone to stage a dramatic kidnapping of the girl who had just finished school.However, unlike what he had imagined, instead of him being the one to rescue the girl, it was Citra and Ethan who came there."Damn it! I won't let you leave me, Amelia! You belong to me. I'll make you completely mine," Richard mumbled as he walked unsteadily.His body seemed uncontrolled, causing him to bump into the small cabinet and sofa there.He even ignored the ringing of his phone, indicating someone was calling him.He was solely focused on himself, still thinking about Amel at that time. Only that girl was on his mind.A few minutes passed until finally someone opened the door to his apartment, revealing a woman entering.Richard, still under the influence of alcohol, assumed it was Amel.A broad

Ethan quickly approached Citra, afraid that the man standing before the woman was a bad person.He immediately touched both of her shoulders."Are you okay?" Ethan asked, looking at her.Citra, snapping out of her daze, glanced at Ethan and nodded her head."Yes. I'm okay." Citra responded with a smile on her face.She then looked intently at Ethan, thankfully he managed to understand the meaning behind that look. This was supported by her encircling his arm with hers."Oh yes, dear. Let me introduce you, this is my cousin. His name is Nike. This is who I told you I met before heading to the office."Ethan then pretended to look toward the man in front of them, extending his hand to shake his."Ethan," Ethan said, flashing a warm smile.Nike glanced at him briefly before finally returning the handshake. "Nike. Citra's cousin who has a very close relationship with her," Nike stated firmly while forcing a smile at the man."Ah, I just remembered. So you asked my permission this morning

Awkwardness occurred between them. Because last night's events made this morning, not a single dialogue came out of either of their mouths.Even during breakfast or when they were in the same car like this. Ethan just focused on driving while Citra tried to busy herself with her cell phone, though it was clear Citra was just scrolling through the screen.When the uncomfortable feeling started to cross its boundaries, making both of them think about ending it."Come on, Ethan! You can do it! A man has to start first or this atmosphere will continue endlessly. Remember! Women do not have the ability to break the ice. So, you have to start first," Ethan mumbled to convince himself.While on the other side, Citra seemed to have the same thought."Oh well. It's better if I make small talk by asking about work and so on. Maybe the man should start, but it seems Ethan won't. A guy like him will just keep holding on and who knows when he'll end all this," Citra thought to herself. After let

"Shouldn't we go back to the apartment instead? Your suit is dirty because of me. Is that okay?" Citra asked, looking apologetic.Ethan shook his head, not bothered by it at all."Well then, let's just go in now."Ethan nodded, carrying the food he had bought earlier as they got out of the car."Come on, let's go! What else?" Ethan asked when he saw Citra seemed to be paying attention to something.He also looked towards the silver car."It seems he came here. I clearly recognize this car. It looks like it belongs to..."Before the woman could finish her sentence, someone had already cut her off."Good morning, my beautiful cousin! As promised, I came to visit my cousin's new workplace!"Ethan and Citra simultaneously turned towards Nike. The man had arrived carrying a large pizza in his hands, which he then gave to Citra."For you. I know you really like this expensive pizza," Nike defended his offering.Because at that moment, Nike could see out of the corner of his eye how Ethan wa
