Joe William
Joe's in trouble
"Waaaw.... It's so grand and luxurious here. It's all there is."
It seemed that three people among the six young people were agape and could barely clench their lips as soon as they arrived at the ground floor of Tower Mall.
For Joe, Tiara and Lestari, this was the first time they had set foot in such a grand, modern shopping mall.
Tower Mall built by Future of Company does carry the concept of European-style shopping center buildings that combine classical and modern styles.
Joe, one of them seemed barely blinking to see the entire contents of the Tower Mall's basement floor.
This can be understood.
Besides he was prepared to carry a heavy burden that made him have to live in the interior with Grandpa Malik, it turns out that moving to Kuala Nipah did not make Joe can breathe a sigh of relief. Only this time also he got permission from Tengku Mahmud. That's because Tigor was released from prison.
"Chairman, do you want to look around to the second floor and beyond?" Asked Namora respectfully though stiff.
"Can!" Joe answered briefly.
"Please chief!" Namora invited Joe to go up to the second floor using the escalator.
"How's this? I never climbed the ladder of life." Whisper Joe to Tiara.
"It turns out you're worse than me." Tiara replied with a laugh.
Apparently what these two people whispered came to Namora's attention.
Namora, who rarely smiles, smiles and asks Udin and Hendro to take the lead.
"Come chief!" Namora.
As soon as they stepped on the escalator, Joe's lips suddenly turned pale. It feels gamang also him even though it is not dangerous.
"Here I hold your hand. Maybe you're nervous." Joe said reasoned by holding Tiara's hand. The nervous person is actually himself.
Tiara just smiled even though she knew that was just the reason Joe was acting like a Hero even though Zero.
"Hows it? I'm not nervous anymore, right?" Joe asked as he rubbed his nose with his next hand again.
"Joe. Aren't you worried that your nose will tilt?" Ask Tiara.
"Haha. My nose is comfortable in the toel." Answer Joe.
Now the four young men were on the second floor and immediately followed Udin and Hendro who had preceded it as an example of using an escalator at the request of Namora.
Now they are in front of a series of stores that sell various types of jewelry with various Brands ranging from Buccellati, Piaget to Tiffany which certainly will not be able to be purchased by low-class people.
Joe was never interested in that. But in contrast to Lestari who follow the development of fashion through online and television platforms that broadcast showbiz shows and so forth.
Once he arrived in front of the Shop, his eyes could barely blink. If it did not quickly close its mouth, it would have drooled when it did.
"You why Lestari? Did you catch a cold?" Ask Joe who is completely insensitive to a woman's tastes.
"Huh? Oh.., uh. No, not really." Reply Lestari stammering.
"Sorry brothers. Is there anything we can help you with?" Ask one of the salesmen to the six young men.
"You are so kind, Miss. I'm thinking what help can I ask you." Joe answered immediately with all the curliness he had.
Hearing this answer from Joe, the salesman immediately frowned.
She was eager to check out the jewelry that she could only see on TV in person even though Tiara repeatedly signaled for them to leave the store immediately.
"Sorry brothers. Can you show your member VIP card?" Ask the salesman.
Hearing this, Namora immediately issued her member's platinum card to the saleswoman making the woman a little surprised as well and then asked what Namora's relationship with Tigor was.
Upon hearing this question, Namora immediately replied that he was the eldest son of Tigor Habonaran.
The six of them then entered the sizable store while looking over all the jewelry items on display.
Satisfied with looking around, the not-so-interested Tiara began to pull Lestari's hand to leave the store immediately.
Lestari who was shocked at the pull like that immediately grabbed Joe's hand making Joe who did not know immediately turned around and with a reflex movement, his right hand blocked one of the glass crates containing jewelry until it fell on the floor.
"sorry. I'm sorry I didn't mean it." Said Tiara starting to get scared.
He realized because of his actions earlier, now they must be in trouble.
"What's wrong?" Asked Namora who heard the sound of something falling earlier.
"I accidentally nudged the jewelry box and fell and broke. It may have broken inside." Joe replied without involving the two girls.
Namora, who knew it was Joe's doing, just calmed down and went a little back.
Different things now appear on the face of the salesman earlier.
As soon as she saw one of the expensive jewelry boxes fall on the floor and break, her face suddenly turned deathly pale.
For a long time he could only master the situation and then immediately stepped towards Joe.
"Sister. I've allowed you to look through the jewelry in this store. But you've made me threatened with being fired. Now, who will be responsible for this matter. Do you know that this is expensive jewelry and there are only a few in the world?" Asked the saleswoman with a face pale with fear.
A commotion began to occur which triggered some Security and other security officers to arrive. But seeing that there were Namora, Udin and Hendro, they somewhat relaxed the slight tension on their faces.
When things got worse, Joe immediately asked the saleswoman how much the necklace had been damaged by her accident.
"Sister. If you're sure to compensate, then I'll call my manager to ask how much the repair costs for this necklace are." Said the woman.
"This canyon is not broken. The only thing that was broken was the glass box. Alright. I don't want to say much because I'm dizzy with your screaming voice. Now, I want to ask. How much is this necklace worth!" Ask Joe.
If it's just Joe, the biggest possibility is that he's been busted over the absurd words of himself. But since there were also sons of Tigor, Andra and Jabat, they inevitably had to believe that this matter would be solved. At least, the three fathers of the three young men would be able to overcome this problem.
"Sister. I will tell you that the price of this necklace is worth Two million US Dollars or the equivalent of twenty-nine billion rupiah." Answer the salesman.
"Hmmm..." Joe said he pulled out his phone.
He didn't want to ask anyone for help. Just wanted to ask his Dad if the credit card he had had enough money to pay for the necklace he accidentally dropped.
"Hallo Joe's. Why call?" Ask a voice across the street.
"Dad. I broke a necklace in a Tiffany & Co store. They say that the price of this necklace is worth Two million Dollars. Can the credit card Jeff's grandfather gave me be used to pay for this necklace?" Ask Joe to his dad.
"Joe. Tell me where you are now?!"
"I was at the Tiffany & Co jewelry store right on the second floor of Tower Mall." Answer Joe.
"You wait there. I'll call a friend." The father replied and ended the phone call.
