Chapter 10

The phone call is closed. Sofia hasn't had time to explain everything to the inflamed Sam.

"The credit card can't be used, how can it?" Sofia clucked with a thoughtful face. One hand placed the dead phone on the table, switching to pick up the handle of the phone that was on the table.

"Hello, Mrs. Sofia there's something I can help you with," greeted one woman in a soft voice from behind the phone.

"Hana, please check all my credit cards. Is there something wrong? why suddenly the credit card can't be used," Sofia said.

"All right, Mrs!" said Hana. 

Sofia put the phone handle in place. Lean his body leaning against a bench. His fingers gently massaged his temples for a moment.

"Hopefully Sam isn't angry!" said Sofia.

"Excuse me, Mrs!" The sound of someone standing in the doorway of Sofia's room opened.

"Come in, Raya!" replied Sofia, pulling her body closer to the desk. The look in his eyes was fixed on Raya who walked towards Sofia's desk.

"What's wrong, Raya?" asked Sofia as Raya arrived in front of her.

The girl in the veil placed the files on Sofia's desk. "Mr. Santoso's company requests that we immediately pay off all loans that we have made with the agreed interest," Raya said after sitting on a bench in front of Sofia's desk.

"What?" Instantly Sofia rounded her eyes on Raya. The beautiful woman's face looked pale.

"Can Mr. Santoso not help our company anymore, Raya. You know Raya, if the state of our Company is bad?" said Sofia seemed agitated.

"Yes, Mrs, I have tried to persuade the Santoso Company to give us a little more time. But they say, two months is enough for the handling of loans that they have given to our company, " Raya explained.

Sofia let out a deep sigh. It appears that the woman is increasingly stressed by the problems that occur in Nico's Cooperation Company. Considerable spending left the company almost on the verge of collapse.

"Alright, immediately put an ad for our plantation in Bandung. Just like I said in the meeting room." Sofia stared fixedly at Raya.

"Okay, Mrs!" said Raya.

"Oh, yes, another one, but the price is as high as possible. So that all the company's debts can be paid off immediately, "said Sofia full of emphasis.

"Okay, Mrs!" replied Raya, rising. The veiled woman walked towards the exit.

"Damn it!" said Sofia annoyed. "How could this company go bankrupt? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone on holiday and complied with all of Sam's requests. Ah... It sucks!" grumbled Sofia inflamed at herself.

The phone that was on top of the nightstand vibrated several times. Sofia who was busy in front of the mirror at a glance only glanced at her smart objects.

"Honey, is that the sound of your phone?" said Nico. He was resting his body at the end of the bed.

"Oh yes, baby!" replied Sofia flatly. One hand continued to apply night cream on his beautiful face. Several times Sofia turned her face left and right, staring at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

"What's wrong with Sofia, it seems like there's something she's thinking about," Nico said to himself. At first glance, Nico glanced at the unusual Sofia.

Sofia's phone vibrated again. This time Sofia got up from the front of the mirror to the nightstand located next to the end of the bed. Sofia grabbed her phone from the top of the nightstand, then sat down on the lip of the bed.

[Honey, tomorrow I need money ten million. I was forced to borrow with my friend because the credit card you gave me couldn't use.] Write a message from a contact number named Sam on the phone screen.

Sofia let out a long sigh staring at the row of letters sam had sent her. His fingers dance nimbly over the phone screen.

[Sam, today the company is not okay. So I hope you can control your expenses. Tomorrow I'll send you the money.] Sofia replied by pressing the send button on Sam's number.

Some moments the two check marks on the screen just turn blue. A split second Sofia was waiting for a reply from Sam. Looks like the man won't reply to his message.

The soft touch of Nico's hand took Sofia by surprise. "Baby!" said Sofia, looking at Nico, who was behind her back.

"What's wrong? Why are you just silent? Is there a problem going on at the company?" asked Nico.

"There's nothing! I'm fine. Just exhausted," Sofia replied wiping the back of Nico's hand.

Smiles flashed from both corners of Nico's lips.  From that blank stare, Sofia could see there was a pent-up desire inside there.

Nico's hand came down from Sofia's shoulder, groping it to a halt at the woman's slender waist. As soon as Sofia was surprised, she knew what Nico's touch meant.

"Honey, haven't we haven't done it for a long time?" Nico pulled his body close to Sofia. The man wearing a plain white T-shirt brought his face closer to Sofia's neck.

Sofia's face seemed to be upset getting treatment from Nico. "Honey, I...!" Sofia tried to brush Nico's hand off her slender waist. But there is only Nico getting stronger.

"This time I don't want to hear any excuses from you, honey!" whispered Nico near Sofia's ears. The roar of his breath felt gently sweeping the nape of Sofia's neck. But that doesn't tempt him at all.

"Nico, but me!" Sofia is still trying to keep her body away from Nico.

"Honey, I'm blind but I'm still normal. If it only satisfies you, I still can," Nico said in a slight sigh. 

Sofia was getting annoyed with the touch of Nico's hand. "Honey, I'm coming moon!" cried Sofia instantly stopping Nico's hand gestures that were about to kiss Sofia's lips.

Nico's face turned hardened. The blank eyes looked sharp. "Honey, don't lie to me. It's only the beginning of the month, and I've memorized exactly when you're going to come the moon," Nico said.

"Honey, I'm really not lying," Sofia assured. Lately, I've been overworking and thinking too much, so the cycle comes my month irregularly," Sofia explained.

Nico pulled his hand from Sofia's body. Groping on the side wall of the bed then grabbed his stick and got off the bed.

Sofia noticed Nico who put on a flat face walking towards the exit, the sound of his legs heard loudly, indicating that the man was being overcome with anger. "Honey, please hear me...!" Call Sofia.

"Sleep! If you don't want to serve me!" said Nico.

"Honey, wait!" called Sofia.
