Chapter 116 - GMS ( 1 )

Why should? It's not that I don't want to, but it might cause a new controversy within the company," said Dino during a pillow talk with Rere.

"If not you, who else? Do I still have another choice?"

Dino was silent. Unable to reply to his wife's words.

"Why do you trust me so much?" Dino wanted to know what was in Rere's heart.

"You are my husband. That's why I believe in you. You are a responsible and good man. I was the one who was blind all this time."

"I'm flattered that you trusted me." Dino hugged Rere. The woman rested her head on Dino's chest.

"You are the father of my child. Leon is the one to bind our relationship. How could I not believe you? Bara can no longer help us. He is an outsider to Uncle Lutfi. I'm still a novice in the company. If you come forward, they can't dodge and refuse."

"Are you sure?" Dino still couldn't believe that Rere had so much trust in him.

"Of course."

"In that case, I will help you until you can be independent. After that, I will not interfere in hotel and mall management anymore."

"I'm a housewife. I just want to stay at home, spending all of your money." Rere hugged Dino in a spoiled manner. 

"How did you do that? Your money alone will not run out." Dino pinched Rere's cheek.

"I will only spend all your money. I will save all my money for our children."

"I agree with you. Just spend all my money, honey." Dino caressed Rere's cheek then pushed Rere down on the bed.

"What are you doing?" Rere laughed amused at Dino's attitude.

"I want to imprison you in my heart."

"You are getting smarter with your comeback, huh? Where is the calm and shy Dino?"

"I'm not shy. I'm an aggressive guy who likes to play around, let alone play in bed." Dino spoke in a spoiled and livid tone.

Rere laughed at her husband's attitude. She found Dino so cute when he acted this way.

"Is it true?" Rere stroked Dino's chest. She even unbuttoned Dino's pajama buttons one by one to reveal his chest.

"So you are getting naughty, huh?" Dino giggled in amusement.

"Stop it. Don't you like it when I'm being naughty?" Rere became braver and teased Dino more. Her hand caressed her husband's chest. From the top then down to the bottom. When Rere's hand was about to caress Dino's manhood, the man caught Rere's hand.

"It's not that easy to touch it."

"Then?"

"Hmmm." Dino pretended to think.

"Tell me." Rere urged Dino.

"I have one request."

"What is it?" Rere was curious about Dino's request.

"Can you give me a present if I help you with company matters?"

"Present?" Rere laughed. "What should I give a crazy rich man like you?" Rere even mocked her husband. "Don't you already have everything?" 

"Not that kind of present."

"Then?"

"Give me two more children as compensation for managing your company."

"Only that?" Rere smiled brightly.

"Then let's make a sister for Hanin and Leon." Dino pounced on Rere. The man took off his pajamas and laid on top of his wife's body.

Rere resigned herself to receiving treatment from her husband. She closed her eyes, enjoying Dino's touch. She felt that Dino's hands are so indulgent and comforting.

"Dad and aunty? What are you doing?" Hanin shouted loudly as she emerged from the room with Leon. 

Dino hastily got up from the bed. Both of them were nervous. Dino was so panicked that he fell out of bed. His head hit the floor.

"Are you okay?" Rere helped her husband up. She also looks panicked.

"Hanin surprised dad," Dino grumbled, looking at his daughter.

"Dad, what are you doing on top of Aunt Rere? Aunt Rere must be running out of breath and hurt."

"Bad dad," Leon replied in a soft voice. He approached Dino and hit his father's arm.

"Why did dad get hit?" asked Dino with a blank face.

"Baba has been mean to Mommy?" Leon put his hands on his hips, showing an angry face.

"Calm down, Mommy. I will protect Mommy from bad dad."

Rere couldn't help but laugh at her children's innocence. He smiled shyly at Dino.

"Let's just sleep here, little brother. I am afraid dad will strangle your Mommy again." Hanin took Leon's hand and climbed onto the bed. Hanin covered their bodies with a blanket.

"What are you doing?" Dino was surprised to see his two children.

"We will sleep here, dad. We want to protect Aunt Rere from you."

"When did I abuse Mommy?"

"Just now."

Dino signaled Rere to take the children to their room. Dino wanted to sleep alone with Rere and then have their third child. Rere even shook her head, disapproving of her husband's idea. After that, Rere lay on the bed next to Leon. Dino's plan to have a third child failed. Dino climbed onto the bed, feeling irritated as he slept next to Hanin.

Bara, Dian, and Tia were already in the meeting room waiting for the commissioners. They will make decisions about the leader of the company. Lutfi succeeded in inciting the shareholders to expel Bara because he was not entitled to maintain the company.

"Get ready to be kicked out of this company. The shareholders are on my side." Lutfi spoke impassively.

"Don't be too happy. This won't be easy." Bara smiled mysteriously.

"How can I not be happy?"

"Rere will work for the company. She should be the boss." 

"What can that spoiled child do?" Lutfi even insulted Rere. 

"Don't underestimate her even though she's a woman."

"She knows nothing. She could only spend money on shopping. So stupid that she even trusted you to lead the company. You're just an outsider and have no right to be here, Bar. I am more qualified because I am David's younger brother."

Bara just giggled. Feeling sorry and concerned because Lutfi claims that he is more worthy of leading the company.

"More qualified?" Bara even sneered at Lutfi.

"Of course."

"If you feel qualified, why embezzled company funds a few years ago? If I didn't join the company, maybe you would have drained all of Rere's and mother's assets. I won't let you succeed. Rere and mother are still kind enough to allow you to work here."

"Stop talking nonsense, Bar." Lutfi pushed Bara against the wall.

Tia and Dian are shocked to see this turn of events. Dian wanted to come closer to teach Lutfi a lesson, but Bara stopped her. Lutfi grabbed Bara's collar. Not wanting to lose, Bara even twisted Lutfi's hand until the man screamed in pain.

"Don't feel like you've won just yet. You and Rere won't be able to own this company. I will not give up."

"Let's see. Who is the goat and who is the tiger." Bara left in front of Lutfi and sat inside the meeting room.

The place was still quiet because the shareholders had not yet arrived. The atmosphere became heated as the shareholders entered the room one by one. Their faces tensed as they looked at Bara cynically. There was an aura of hostility in the room. Tia also felt the tense and uncomfortable atmosphere.

"All the shareholders have arrived. We'd better start the meeting," said Lutfi with an aura of victory. The man smiled at Bara. He was sure because he had received the support of all the shareholders.

"You can start."

"We will begin the meeting."

Lutfi looked at Bara once again. He couldn't wait to embarrass Bara in this room.

"As you already know, our company is authorized by Mrs. Ainil and Rere to Aldebaran. As we all know, Aldebaran or Bara here is not related by blood with Rere or Ainil. He is only Ainil's stepson. He's just a stranger who doesn't deserve to lead our company. How can a company of this size be led by an outsider?" 

Bara clenched his fists in anger. If he didn't remember Dila's advice, maybe Lutfi would have already lost his life. Bara tried to contain and control his anger.

"We disagree if this company is led by Bara. You could have the intention to snatch the company from your stepmother. Although he is also a Real Estate entrepreneur, we never know, people's greed knows no bounds. Don't the rich want to get richer?" Rusdi, one of the shareholders, began his vote.

"If the company is still led by Bara, not Rere or Ibu Ainil, we will sell our shares to other companies. The five of us own fifty-five percent of the shares. If we join hands, then we can demote Rere as the leader. I also want to say that I have sold seventeen percent of my shares from the total ownership of twenty-five percent."

"I also sold my five percent stake," Ananto spoke up.

"What?" Bara was surprised that the shareholders had conspired against them behind their back. Rere's stock was only forty -five percent. She has the biggest percentage of the other shareholders before. If all shareholders unite, then Rere's position will be weak.
