Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

At the crossroads near Raya-Indra’s shop, there were three burly men who had attacked the ‘Ability to Read’ foundation. One of the three men was the chairman. They were investigating the people who passed by when they entered the alley of Mr. Kevin’s son’s shop.

“Boss, what should we do? Are we just going to stay here?” Asked one of the members to the chairman. The chairman just shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the passers-by.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“We should incite the people passing by this alley not to buy snacks at Raya’s shop, got it? Just like what we did when we attacked the foundation where Gifer works. Mr. Kevin already paid us handsomely for this. So, if we want to not get caught, we have to use the same method,”

“Ah, okay. That’s very easy for me,” the three of them grinned. They began to carry out the action, starting from one or two passers-by, to most people. Now they started intercepting two husband and wife. A middle-aged man and woman entering the alley of Raya’s shop. At first, the husband and wife were surprised that their way was blocked by thugs. But what else could they do? They could only obey so that they could escape later.

“One moment, you can pass through this alley, as long as it is under one condition.”

“What’s that?” Asked the middle-aged man.

“Easy, you must never buy snacks at Raya-Indra’s shop. You know what? That shop sells a lot of expired snacks, here’s the proof,” they showed an example of Raya’s snacks with a date label that was long past today’s date.

“No way! Didn’t that shop just open a few days ago?” argued those who didn’t believe the burly man.

“Yes, it did, but if you still want to buy, go ahead, but don’t expect to be able to pass through this alley!” The threats from the three burly men dressed like thugs were not kidding.

“Alright, we won’t buy there,” The two people were allowed to pass through the alley near Raya-Indra’s shop, they looked down and disliked when passing by the shop.

The second target was several mothers, teenagers, and adult men who wanted to pass the street near Raya’s shop.

“You should never buy rigan food at Raya-Indra’s shop,”

“Why, didn’t that shop just open? The food must be good,”

“Delicious, yes you are right. But after that you will all die, won’t you?” They were shocked as they widened their eyes and covered their mouths with both palms.

“Why is that?”

“You know, they sell food that has passed its expiration date. Here’s an example, I just bought some there and the date has already passed. A lot of the other snacks in that store have expired,”

“Hih, it’s terrible, huh. We won’t buy there anymore. They sell but in such a dirty way, hih, it disgusts me,”

“Yes, even though selling dishonestly like that can endanger people’s lives. It’s bad, it’s really bad,”

“Therefore, you don’t need to buy there anymore,”

“Alright, are we allowed to pass?”

“Yes, please.”

They passed Raya-Indra’s shop with a look that was hard to interpret and showed a disgusted expression towards the shop. This did not go unnoticed by Raya, who felt that the shop was deserted. Not a single buyer would even glance at her shop. Instead of glancing, they gave her a cynical and disgusted look. As if someone had deliberately made her shop deserted, Raya began to talk to Indra about it.

Day by day, the ‘Ability to Read’ foundation became lively again after a long time of being attacked by thugs. Gifer was still teaching, but the difference was, now he was allowed to teach outdoors with the blackboard standing upright next to Gifer and also the children sitting on the ground in the park close to the foundation. The children are so happy and active when Gifer teaches there. Don’t forget Haris also taught next to Gifer when the children had finished learning to read, they would move to Haris’ place to learn to write.

“Let’s start reading, now it’s page 25.”

While he was busy teaching, a middle-aged man came to where Gifer was teaching and sat near the garden, waiting until the class was over. Haris who already knew that Mr. Kevin was there, looked at the middle-aged man with a bemused look, he wanted to tell Gifer, but because the distance between him and Gifer was quite far, it made it difficult for him to tell Gifer. As a result, he tried to call Gifer.

Tring~

Gifer’s cell phone rang, making Haris use his cane to walk in another direction, so as not to be heard by his students.

“Who?”

“Gif, it’s me, Haris,”

“Yak! You! We’re so close, why are we calling?”

“I can’t Gif, if I go towards you, someone will suspect us.”

“Who huh?”

“Mr. Kevin, he’s sitting on this bench by the park.”

“That old fart? What is he doing here?”

“I don’t know, maybe he has something against you, Gif. Anyway, I just wanted to say that,”

“Ah, that’s fine. Thank you for telling me.”

The phone line was turned off.

Hearing that from his friend, made the small components in Gifer’s brain shell surrounded by many questions.

‘Why else would that old fart come here? How did he know the place where I teach? Is he following me, or is he stalking me, just so I can go back to his company? Oh no, I’ll never be the CEO of his company again!’ Gifer said to himself. Directing his wand to walk towards where his students were.

Not waiting long, the class was over. And sure enough, Mr. Kevin immediately approached Gifer who was cleaning up the children’s learning tools.

“Gifer,” Mr. Kevin called. Gifer was certainly not stupid if he didn’t recognize this voice. He knew very well that this voice was Mr. Kevin’s.

“Mr. Kevin? Is it true?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“What’s the need for Mr. Kevin to come here?”

“Gif, to the point, I just want you to come back to my company again. To be the CEO.”

“Are you saying that after becoming CEO, you can humiliate me in front of everyone, just like what happened at the event with the American client? Sorry, if it’s like that, I can’t. I don’t work to be humiliated. I work only to develop my skills,” Gifer firmly tried to explain that to Mr. Kevin. The middle-aged man heard Gifer’s insinuation and tried to dodge it.

“No, I will not repeat the same mistake. I will also no longer take what is already yours. And one more thing I beg you, Gifer come back with Raya,”

“Hahahaha, you are so funny, sir. Besides asking me to return to your company. It turns out that you also have another intention by expecting me to return to Raya? Sorry, I can’t. Raya has insulted and demeaned me enough. I will never go back to a scheming family like you!” Gifer’s anger was now at its peak. He didn’t want to meet Mr. Kevin anymore. After saying that, Gifer left there. Mr. Kevin still wanted to follow Gifer, but Haris immediately stopped him.

“Never again make Gifer hurt by involving him as Raya’s lover. Because that will never happen!” Haris’ threat made Mr. Kevin upset because after saying that, Haris also immediately went to follow Gifer.

“AGH! Shit! You idiot!” Mr. Kevin ruffled his hair roughly.

Behind a tree in the park, there was a girl who heard their conversation.

“That’s why Gifer doesn’t want to be the CEO anymore.”
