Even some of them, immediately terminate the contract relationship because their cooperation no longer brings benefits to both parties, because of the emergence of public assumptions that greatly affect and also harm them.
In just a few days, the company suffered heavy losses. Even so, Devan didn't panic or feel hopeless at all. The man was still as calm as ever as if nothing had happened.
As it is now, Devan relaxed in his oversized chair in his room, facing the tall buildings that seemed to fill the whole of City J, sipping coffee that was still steaming.
Seems to have no worries.
Knock... knock... knock...
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, causing him to turn his head slightly.
"Come in," Devan said then looked back at the front.
At the same time, the sound of the door opening was heard along with footsteps walking towards him.
"What's wrong Clarissa," said Devan first, the man didn't even see the figure entering his room and had guessed correctly.
"I feel that you need to see this, sir," Clarissa replied as she held out her tab to Devan.
Seeing that, Devan frowned, accepted the flat-shaped object, and saw what was displayed on the screen.
Just taking a glance and immediately returning it to its owner without saying a word made the secretary experience a bit of confusion.
"Do you have orders, Sir?" Clarissa asked.
"Nothing, go back to work as usual," said Devan casually while sipping a cup of warm coffee in his hand.
"Okay, sir," replied the secretary and then turned and left the room.
What he saw was a petition containing a request for clarification at a press conference.
Devan had expected all of this to happen, so it was only natural that he wasn't too surprised and worried. Right now, he wasn't even afraid of losing everything and starting over from scratch.
As long as he could be reunited with Anna, then everything would be fine because the center of all his worries now was on that woman.
Also, doesn't he have to sacrifice something else to get something? Seeing the way Devan reacted to what had happened with his company, the man seemed to have been completely prepared for the worst that could happen to him.
However, that doesn't mean he didn't do anything. Devan kept trying, just not too carried away.
After Clarissa's departure, Devan relaxes again.
Suddenly his cellphone rang, seeing the name on the cellphone screen, his smile grew, and without delaying a second he immediately picked it up.
"Hello, honey," Devan said as he put the cup in his hand on the table.
"Hello," came a woman's voice on the other end, it was none other than Anna. A woman who he knew her real name was Claire.
"What's the matter, honey? You don't usually call me first?" he asked.
"Have you missed me?" he added again.
Came a sigh from the other side, "Aaron asked me to call you, are you okay?" she asked.
"Is it just because your Uncle told you to call me, honey?"
"Yes," answered Claire curtly.
"Then just turn off the phone," replied Devan pretending to be angry.
"No, wait!" said Claire prevented. "I-I also want to know how you are," she added.
"Really? Even though we just finished talking two hours ago, and now you're worried about me? Hehehe, are you worried, or do you miss me, hmm?" replied Devan.
Claire didn't respond, the woman remained silent making Devan say again, "I'm fine, honey. What's there to worry about?" asked Devan again.
"Do you need help? Maybe Aaron can help you," Claire replied after a few seconds of silence.
There was silence, now it was Devan's turn to listen to the woman's words. Just by hearing that sentence, he already knew that both Aaron and Claire must have seen the issues related to the problems that were befalling his company.
"No need, I can sort this out myself, honey," Devan said, his tone suddenly changing, sounding a little tired.
"But, what if…"
"Trust me, honey. Are you afraid I'll fall into poverty?" he asked.
"No," replied Claire spontaneously.
Hearing that, Devan chuckled, "Besides, shouldn't I have to deserve myself to be your husband?" said Devan. Yes, if he couldn't deal with this kind of problem, how could he marry the only daughter of the Smith family? He didn't want to be a joke to everyone.
Although his company suffered so many losses, he was very confident in his abilities, that he could return everything to the way it was, of course in his way. He was well aware of the consequences he would receive, his own family spreading the news of his marriage, and then the news suddenly disappeared in less than twenty-four hours, and it was enough to make him suffer a huge loss.
Hearing Devan's words, Claire took a deep breath, "Don't push yourself too hard, if you need something, don't hesitate to say it, Aaron will help you. He said it."
Devan smiled, "Hmm, I need something now, honey," said Devan.
"What is it? Should I ask Aaron to speak to you directly?" she asked.
"I need you, honey."
Hearing that, Claire sighed deeply, "You know? This is the fifth time you've said something like this today, Devan."
"So what? You don't like it?" the man asked.
"Never mind, forget it. Have you had lunch?" asked Claire changing the subject.
"Erm, and you? Ah, where is my son?"
"He's in his room, studying," Claire replied.
"Really? Where are you now?" he asked.
And that was how their discussion lasted until ten minutes passed.
"Then you go back to work, remember if you need help, don't hesitate to tell me," said Claire, looking like she wanted to end the call.
"Yes honey, don't worry about me," replied Devan.
"You take care of yourself there, take care of your health, don't get sick, I don't want anything to happen to you," he added.
Right after saying that, there was another knock on the door, along with the appearance of a woman there, not one but two. They are Byanca and Miss Seira.
"Honey, I'll call you later," Devan said immediately, his voice a little lower than before.
"Okay," replied Claire and after that, the line ended.
Devan put his cell phone on the table and looked back at his computer screen. Ignoring the arrival of two women who suddenly appeared without notifying him beforehand.
"Devan, who were you talking to earlier?" asked Mrs. Seira, the woman then landed her body on the sofa in the room. And the same thing was done by Byanca.
Devan didn't answer and just kept quiet.
