Chapter 26

Calvino is serious check the report from Kenan. Suddenly he heard a knock on the door.

"Please, enter."

Bechara entered his room. "Excuse me, sir."

"What's the matter, Bechara? Say it quickly!" Calvino asked while checking the documents.

"Mr. Emran, has arrived and is waiting in the meeting room."

Calvino looked at the clock on his wrist. "Okay." Then tidy up the documents. He walked towards the meeting room, and Kenan followed from behind.

"Let me open the door for you, sir."

Calvino raised his hand and pushed the door. Emran stood up to welcome him.

Calvino shook Emran's hand. "Thank you for being willing to wait."

"I know you are a busy man and have a busy schedule."

"Sit down please."

"Thank you, Mr. Calvino."

The meeting lasted long enough to discuss the cooperation agreement that will soon establish between the two companies.

After going through a lengthy discussion, in the end, the two agreed to cooperate.

"Hopefully this collaboration between our companies will be the beginning of success for our company's future."

"Of course."

"I hope this partnership is not limited to the Luz Company, Mr. Calvino."

Calvino squinted. "You mean?"

Emran leaned forward, and Calvino smelled a cunning plan. He was anticipating in case of getting an attack.

"I really hope that I can join the Earl Company and Kafeel Group. And I hope you don't break my hope."

Calvin gasped. For him, the decision on this matter must be discussed first with Bram as the CEO of Kafeel Group and Calista as the CEO of Earl Company, later if the woman wants to change her decision to move to London.

Great hope blazed in Emran's eyes. "I hope you have not let me down, Mr. Calvino."

Calvino responded to Emran's words with a faint smile.

"So how is it, Mr. Calvin?"

"Regarding this you will receive news very soon from me, but not now."

"I hope the news is good news."

"Hopefully, Mr. Emran. Because I don't own the rights to Kafeel Group and Earl Company. Both companies are beyond my control."

"I believe. You can definitely do your best for me."

Calvino shakes Emran's hand. "Thank you for taking the time to attend the meeting."

"Meeting with you is an honor for me. Thank you for your time, Mr. Calvino. Excuse me."

"Yes please." Calvino turned to Kenan. "Accompany Mr. Emran arrived at the lobby floor."

"All right, sir."

Calvino returned to the CEO's room. He was standing behind a glass wall watching Dubai City activity.

"Vin."

A baritone voice from behind made Calvino turn around. "Dad."

"How was the meeting with Mr. Emran? Did reach an agreement?"

"Of course." Calvino remained where he was, standing behind the glass wall.

Bram squinted at his son. "Did something bad happen?"

Calvin turned around. "No."

"Don't lie, Vin."

Calvino sat next to his father. "There is a bit of a problem."

"Say."

"Mr. Emran, is eyeing cooperation with the Kafeel Group and Earl Company."

Bram's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Yes. Do you agree cooperate with that company?"

"Of course. Emran's company was very influential. Cooperating with his company can increase the success of my company. It's good news." Bram tapped on the shoulder firmly.

"But I'm currently pondering over the plan behind this collaboration proposal."

"You mean?"

"Mr. Emran sees your company as a big company. He wanted to make his company bigger. Is this not a big problem for you?"

"Never miss a golden opportunity, Vin."

"I need to analyze it first."

"Don't waste time. Immediately contact Mr. Emran now and tell him I agree to cooperate with his company."

"I need to discuss this matter with, Earl."

"About?"

"Earl Company."

"Why should you discuss this matter with her? She has nothing to do with this matter."

"There is. We've discussed it before. Suppose the Earl wants to move to London, Earl company under her control. So I have to ask for her approval first."

"Vin, Vin, Dad's sure she can want to deal with things like this."

"It's up to how she responds. I don't want to be not polite to her. Because she's Kafeel's daughter."

"If she wants to move to London the company belongs to her, but she refused. That means the Earl Company is yours."

"She hasn't decided yet. So don't rush into making a decision."

Bram's face turned angry. "All this because of the influence of Leo, the bad boy."

"That's true. That man made the Earl not want to leave Indonesia."

"That's why I leave the Earl Company to you. If your little sister changes her mind later. Please leave the Earl Company to her."

Calvino put on a charming smile that added to his handsomeness many times. "Of course. Never mind the Earl Company. I'd trade my life even if she wants to return to our family again."

Bram tapped Calvino's shoulder. "You are my proud son. I can always count on you."

"What you just said sounds pathetic."

"I'm praising you. You're making fun of me."

Suddenly Calvin's cell phone vibrated.

"Who called you?" Bram asked.

"Mr. Emran."

"Looks like he can't wait to cooperate with my company."

"Yes, he is an ambitious person. He wants his company to be as big as the Kafeel Group."

"Good. Immediately pick up the phone from him and tell him that Kafeel Group and Earl Company have agreed to cooperate with his company." He tapped Calvino's shoulder. "Dad, go home first, okay?"

"Hmmm."

"Oh yes, Vin. Tonight, we're having dinner with Mom. Hurry up and finish your work and don't be late to come."

"I will try."

Sharpen his gaze. "Don't let your mom down."

"Don't worry."

After Bram left the room, Calvino immediately talked to Emran by telephone. From the conversation, there was an agreement that he would visit Emran's company in London to investigate the company first.

"This is great news. I await your arrival in London, Mr. Calvin."

"Yes thank you."

Calvino did not want to act rashly by agreeing to cooperate immediately. He did not want to risk the company's good name and threaten the future of the employees of Kafeel Group.

"I'm sorry, Dad. This time, I will not submit to your orders."
