Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ameera is at the back of the mansion accompanied by fertilizer, flower seeds and friends. Ameera was humming because she was happy that she was able to do activities and did not stay silent.

Xander who saw from his bedroom window shook his head. Actually, what kind of woman is Ameera, who can make Xander unable to make his loud voice. Xander didn't think that just because Ameera was allowed to plant his garden so enthusiastically. Until early in the morning Ameera had breakfast first and after that sat in the back garden waiting for Xander's messengers to come.

"Keep an eye on Ameera, lest she get tired because she is too excited about gardening" Xander said to Xavier by telephone.

"Understood Sir"

Xander turned off the call and stuck his cellphone in his trouser pocket. Xander looked back at Ameera's activities with a small smile on his lips. Maybe if his subordinates or other people who saw him would immediately gape, because he was shocked. Xander never smiled at all and only put on a flat face.

A knock on the door of his room distracted Xander's attention from Ameera. Xander walked towards the door and when he opened it, Max's face was exposed.

"Sir, today there is a meeting to discuss the construction of hotels in Germany, followed by a meeting of shareholders, then a meeting to discuss the willingness of our people to help the French government. After that you have to go back to the office and sign the documents so that they can be processed immediately” Max said reading out Xander's schedule

"Okay"

“Miss Ameera, it's time for lunch. You better eat first” said Edrea, one of the maids at Xander's mansion.

“Time flies quickly when there is activity. Okay, I'll clean myself first after that, then eat, "said Ameera as she stood up and walked into the mansion.

Edrea followed Ameera's steps from behind. Ameera who felt followed stopped her steps which were about to climb the stairs to the second floor.

"I will prepare myself no need for help. I will only eat nothing important, you can go back to work Edrea” said Ameera

"Ok miss"

Ameera stepped back when she saw Edrea walking away from her. She wondered why when she had to do something the maids always followed her and helped her. Even though she can do everything herself.

When she got to her room, Ameera immediately stepped into the bathroom and began her ritual of bathing.

About fifteen minutes Ameera came out dressed casually and looking more refreshed. Ameera immediately went down to the first floor because her stomach was struggling to be filled.

Deborah who saw Ameera coming down the stairs immediately walked towards Ameera "I have prepared a typical Indonesian lunch as you asked yesterday"

Ameera frowned "really?"

"Yes miss. Mr. Xander, who told me this morning” said Deborah as she led Ameera's steps to the dining table.

Ameera started to sit and look at the food in front of her. Ameera started to wet her throat first and started her meal.

-LEHMAN COMPANY-

When Xander came to one of the companies owned by one of his investors, many eyes looked at Xander with reverence. Especially women. They did not expect to see the hot man who always adorns Forbes magazine.

They kept on whispering about Xander. They wish to become the lucky woman who will become Xander's life companion.

"Their mouths really" growled Xander

"Hold on sir. We are here as businessmen, not as mafia” warned Max

Xander exhaled slowly. Xander himself didn't know what was wrong with him. All this time he had always enjoyed the naughty stares and whispers of the women talking about him. But somehow now he felt they were disgusting.

Xander and Max got into the elevator then they went to the 7th floor where the meeting was held.

Ting ~

The lift opened, Xander and Max immediately stepped into the meeting room. When the door opened, many investors came and waited for Xander's arrival. The man they were waiting for walked in his signature style, one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers in a gait that seemed arrogant and intimidating.

"Let's get started" said Xander then sat down in his place

Max who was behind him turned towards Xander with a flat face. The master is indeed something once.

The meeting which had been going on for almost two hours made Xander yawn. All this time they had been talking in circles without any solution, which made Xander bored. Xander turned towards Max who was sitting next to him. Max, who understood, immediately stood up and gave the documents to the investors.

“You read it and if you agree, sign it and send it to the office. I have to go immediately because there is still a lot of work waiting” Xander got up and looked at them with a flat face and then after that Xander left the room which made his eyes sleepy.

"Where do we go, Max?"

"We go to the office sir. The French state security officials are waiting for us there" replied Max

The journey from Lehman Company to his company took about an hour. Xander uses it to sleep in the car. His eyes were completely uncompromising.

Feeling that the car had stopped Xander opened his eyes, which turned out to be near his company. Xander straightened up and opened the tab to see the reports that had come from his subordinates in the underworld.

In the last few days, Xander did not come down directly to face the enemies because of the piling up of office work. Forced to give Xander to Mark to deal with rats.

“Max looks like you or Xavier will have to step in later. There are lots of nuisance mice hanging around and Mark seems a little overwhelmed with them” said Xander

"Understood sir. We have arrived"

Max immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Xander. They entered the company building with cold gazes, especially Xander. As they walked towards the elevator, many of the staff paid respect that Xander didn't bother with.

When exiting the elevator, Xander was greeted by his secretary. “Sir, their arrived about 30 minutes ago. I have also conveyed the reason for your delay to them and they understand it. I've also prepared materials for today's meeting” explained secretary Xander and handed over the documents for today's meeting.

"You're doing pretty well, keep your performance" said Xander

"Yes sir"

The three of them started to enter the meeting room, Xander lowered his head slightly in salute.

"Shall we go ahead, Mr Xander?"

"Of course Mr. Constantine"

They started discussing what they needed and what the benefits would be. Mr Constantine knows Xander's ways against his enemies. That's why Mr. Constantine suggested asking Xander for help and they all agreed after hearing Mr. Constantine.

"I will give 70 of my men on this mission"

"70? Isn't that too little sir? The enemies we face are much more than that” Mr protested. Damien

“That's more than enough to face them. If you don't believe it, we don't need to send our men"

"You don't need to listen Mr Damien. If you think 70 people are more than enough, we will accept it"

"Arta!" Damien still didn't accept it

"Lery, 70 people from Mr Xander was more than enough to crush them. You never know how they fight right?” said Constantine trying to intervene

"but-"

"Well, then what will I get after handing over my men?"

"You are immune to the law there. No one can touch you there"

"quite interesting"

Xander made eye contact with Max. The understanding Max immediately took over the meeting.

"good. Everything has been agreed upon by both parties, we will send a proposal for an agreement tomorrow"said Max while ending the meeting

"Pleasure doing business with you"

"me, too"

Xander and Arta shook hands sign that they had agreed with all the conditions given.
