"Hmmp, dull and ugly," Bima muttered.
Bima looked at Santi, who was trampling on Amelia's dignity. He deliberately held Amelia's hand and whispered, "If you are ugly and dull, then why are the investors fascinated when they see you? Some of them even want to marry you."
Amelia's eyes widened. She immediately pulled her hand away. She was aware that she was not perfect. She only smiled bitterly at Santi.
"Santi, we may be family, but watch your attitude. I am a human, not an animal that you can step on whenever you want," Amelia asserted herself.
"An animal? Why don't you realize that you are an animal? You should be aware of it! You are an animal, not a human!" Santi pointed at Amelia's head.
This was the first time Amelia's pride had been crushed in public. How could Santi say something so cruel? Especially in a crowded shopping mall.
As her superior, Bima could not accept Santi's words. He had once been in a similar position. Bima held Amelia's hand and said, "Mel, let's go."
Amelia followed Bima. They turned away, but Santi continued shouting insults.
Santi's yelling made everyone turn their heads. Amelia's cheerful face turned gloomy. She held back her tears. This time, Santi truly humiliated her.
"I'll take you to the top of the building," Bima said while deliberately stopping to buy bottled tea.
After buying the drinks, Bima took her upstairs. He noticed that Amelia did not look okay.
Amelia did not answer verbally, but she nodded and followed him. Unnoticed by Amelia, there were several muscular men around them. Bima only gave a signal so they would not get too close.
Meanwhile, Santi became extremely curious. She watched Amelia closely.
Without Santi realizing it, Burhan was very frightened. He held Santi's hand tightly.
Santi stepped forward to follow Amelia, but Burhan quickly grabbed her hand. His entire body trembled. This was not a heart condition, he knew exactly who Bima really was.
"Don't follow them!" Burhan said firmly.
"Why are you so scared? If you don't listen to me, I won't give you any warmth tonight," Santi said, starting to intimidate Burhan.
Like it or not, Burhan followed Santi. He did not know what would happen tomorrow. He only hoped that Bima would not trace his work background.
Santi walked very fast. She was extremely obsessed with Amelia. She wanted to destroy Amelia completely.
Amelia was deeply disappointed with Santi. She rarely went out to shopping malls. She preferred to stay in the office. During lunch time, she usually ordered food and then slept. That was her routine.
"Santi, stop!" Burhan deliberately tried to stop her.
"Why should I stop?" Santi continued walking. "I'm not satisfied until I see her completely destroyed!"
Burhan swallowed his saliva. In fact, Burhan knew exactly who Amelia was. He was very familiar with her intelligence. He often worked with BS Star Company in shipping and logistics.
But now he was in trouble. He followed Santi's desire to chase Amelia. Unexpectedly, he was now challenging his own death.
Amelia and Bima entered the elevator. Santi and Burhan clearly saw them inside. However, outside the elevator, a group of people stood guard. They were deliberately carrying out Bima's orders.
Bima immediately closed the elevator doors. Santi, full of confidence, approached the elevator. She tried to push past the guards, but they stopped her. They blocked her from touching the elevator.
"Sorry, ma'am. You are not allowed to approach," one of them said.
"What? You call me ma'am?" Santi exploded with anger and immediately cursed at them.
The guards only shook their heads. One of them contacted security. Soon, the head of security arrived. They asked him to escort Santi out.
Santi refused and screamed loudly. Many visitors watched her. Honestly, she had no shame at all during the incident. And what about Burhan?
Burhan chose to leave. His face was pale and anxious. His business career was on the edge of collapse. He could only wait until morning, hoping everything would still be fine.
Amelia had already arrived at the rooftop of the shopping mall. The place was very luxurious and exclusive. It was reserved for Bima and his close friends. The owner designed it as a place to relax at night.
"What place is this?" Amelia asked while looking at the luxurious rooftop.
"This is a place intentionally built for reflection," Bima replied casually.
"Huh?" Amelia was shocked. "Does such a place really exist?"
"Of course it does," Bima teased while handing her a cup of hot tea.
Amelia accepted it and sat down. Her mind was chaotic. Her face felt hot as she remembered the earlier incident. Since long ago, Santi had trampled on her dignity.
She had often been humiliated.
No one ever stopped Santi. Instead, her behavior became worse. Amelia chose to stay silent. It was not because she was weak, but because she chose to give in so the situation would not get worse.
"What is your relationship with that crazy girl?" Bima asked as he deliberately sat beside Amelia.
"Sir, why are you sitting next to me?" Amelia became suspicious.
"Is it not allowed?" Bima replied.
"You're making me suspicious," Amelia said.
"Don't be suspicious yet," Bima said irritably.
Amelia was confused by her boss's behavior. She was afraid of a new scandal. She wanted to avoid trouble. She knew her boss was already married, so she deliberately kept her distance.
"Relax," Bima said casually. "Who is she anyway?"
Amelia was silent for a moment. She did not know where to start. She chose to look at the moon. Bima waited patiently. He did not force her to explain.
"If you're not ready, you don't need to explain," Bima said.
"It's not that I don't want to talk. My heart just feels broken," Amelia said while sipping her tea.
"Dumped by your boyfriend?" Bima teased.
Instead of feeling sad, Amelia laughed. Dumped? That was not true at all. At this moment, she did not even have a boyfriend.
It was not that she did not want one; she deliberately spent her life chasing money. She knew that without money, she would be oppressed by people like them.
Hearing this made Bima happy. Just a small joke could make Amelia smile. Behind everything, Bima was not a perfect man. On the surface, he was close to his employees.
But in reality, Bima was the leader of the Red Dragon mafia.
Would Bima bring Amelia into the mafia world? He would not. He did not want to scare her.
"How could I have a boyfriend? Look at that desk full of work," Amelia replied.
"I'm always chasing you for signatures."
"Am I really that popular?" Bima joked.
"Extremely popular. Chasing you is my main job. If I don't chase you, how will employees get approval to work with clients?" Amelia drank her tea. "But why don't you become a model?"
"Do you think being a model is easy? I'd rather wrestle in bed while designing weapons," Bima thought silently.
"You didn't answer," Amelia said curiously.
