1 Week passed,
Every day Rhys was at the diner where he first watched Celine. It's just that for a week he didn't approach Celine anymore. He just watched the woman from there.
While Celine, she felt more relieved and calm because she did not meet with Rhys. But he still felt anxious because he felt someone was watching.
“You don't want to come back?” ask Finn.
“I will stay here until he accepts me back as I used to,” Rhys replied.
“Tot can be so! Who will take care of Alban Company?”
“You can help me, right, Finn? I need Celine to make my feelings calmer. If he's not with me, it's the same .. I won't be able to take care of the company properly.”
Finn sighed a little harshly.
“But come back first. Complete some reports that need to be signed. After that, you can come back here to persuade him back,” pinta Finn.
Rhys seemed to think. Alban's company is his family's company and he won't let it fall and crumble. He sighed softly, but he still insisted that he wanted to be in Lauterbrunnen Village.
Just a moment he decided, Finn's cell phone rang. His personal assistant immediately picked up the phone that he had been disabling for a week for the sake of the calmness of his boss.
“Halo. What's up, Van?”
“Quick return, company in trouble.”
“You mean?”
“The shareholders intend to withdraw their shares immediately.”
“How can it?”
“One of the shareholders discovered a strange flow of funds flowing into the Alban Family. They checked it and found that Mr. Rhys took it.”
“Gossip where is it? I'll be right back. Help me to muffle things until I arrive,” Finn said.
Finn's sudden voice was firm and slightly jarring, making Rhys link his eyebrows together. He knew something was wrong at the moment. After Finn disconnected the call, he turned to Rhys.
“Tell me what's up?” ask Rhys.
“The shareholders will hold a meeting and plan to withdraw all their investments in Alban Company,” Finn replied.
“What happened? Why suddenly?” Rhys began to worry because the Alban Company was already a part of his life.
“They accuse you of cheating by taking company funds unilaterally.”
“What?!” Rhys, who did not want the problem to widen, was finally forced to return to the city of Helsinki in Finland. He promised in his heart that he would soon return to Lauterbrunnen Village to gain his love.
“You're sure?” ask Finn.
“I'm sure, but prepare our two confidants to watch over and take care of Celine. I don't want to lose track of my wife again. Look for competent and experienced,” Rhys command.
“I understand.”

For 1 week, Alice studied all the details of the Albanie Company. He began to understand the function of each division. Previously, he only focused on the financial division he held, but now he knows all the details of the company.
“Nothing, Miss. Already done all.”
“Then, where is the report I need to check and sign?”
“There is here,” Tina took some files that she put on the sofa table, then put them on Alice's table.
He sighed softly, “it looks like it will be another long day for me. Isn't that right, Tin?” Tina smiled faintly and nodded.
Before starting her job, Alice took her phone. Almost a week ago, Celine never contacted him. He had tried to contact Celine but was not picked up at all.
What the hell is going on? Did she experience something? - Alice's inner self began to second-guess.
He went back to work thinking about what happened to Celine. He cannot go away at this time because he is given a great task and responsibility according to him.
When lunch time came, Alice wanted to press the intercom button on her desk and ask Tina to buy her some food, but the door of her room suddenly opened without being knocked first.
“Halo. Good afternoon, Miss CEO or should I call Mrs CEO?”
“Raf, are you here?” alice's face showed a smile. He had forgotten what Rafael said at that time because he had met Celine and made sure that the daughter of the person who had helped him was in good health.
“Yes, I want to visit Mrs Alban,” Rafael said.
“What do you mean, Raf? if you're only here to fight with me, you better go.”
“Ouuu, so after what I do for you and you get your wish, you will just kick me out?”
“I don't understand you any more, Raf. What's got into you?” ask Alice.
Raphael approached Alice who was sitting. He held his hand on the table to support his body and brought his face closer to Alice's face.
“Do you think there are demons possessing me?” Rafael said right in front of Alice's face, making Alice turn her face away.
Rafael laughs mockingly, “Do not sell expensive. I know you must have sold your body to Rhys, right? That's why you can now lead the company Albanie.”
Plakkk
A slap landed on Rafael's cheek, “I don't know you anymore, Rafael Kaili. If you think I'm so low, go! Don't ever see me again. I'll replace everything you've ever done for me.”
“Change everything? By what? How about you replace it with your body?”
Plakkk
Back a slap landed on Rafael's face. Alice never slapped or abused anyone. He used to only use his sharp words, but for him this time Rafael was very outrageous.
“Out. Get out! I said get out fast!” shouted Alice who could no longer control her anger.
“I'll be out, but I make sure you'll pay for everything.”
After Rafael's departure, Alice sat in her chair. His body trembled and a circle of tears began to flow down his cheeks. He tried to hold back his tears so that Rafael would not see that he was weak.
Why would you say such a thing to me? Is that how low I am in your eyes? Do you not know me well? - Alice wiped the tears on her cheeks.
