A handsome young man walked calmly into the grand office courtyard bearing the nameplate "Anugerah Langit Corporation." Clad in a plain security guard uniform, there was nothing particularly remarkable about him except for his strikingly handsome face. His clean and well-groomed appearance seemed out of place in the uniform he wore. The name "Kemal Halim" was embroidered above the pocket of his uniform. However, no one knew that behind this simple facade lay someone crucial who could shake the very foundation of this company.Upon arriving, he observed how quickly the employees streamed into the office. They bustled about, ignoring him entirely, as if his presence was of no consequence. Some even muttered cynical remarks as they passed by."New security guard, huh? Decent looking, but I doubt he'll last. Probably just like the others," one employee remarked mockingly, followed by a smirk from a colleague.His real name was Darren Harison, the son of the wealthiest man in the country.
A modest apartment stood sturdy in a corner of the capital city, a place Darren had chosen as his temporary residence.It had been over a week since he returned to his homeland from the country where he completed his doctoral studies. Something held him back from returning to the house he grew up in. Memories of an incident haunted him as a tragedy when he was just eleven years old. Darren had lost his older sister in a fatal accident when she fell from the third floor of their home. Everyone blamed Darren, though he believed it was his mother's carelessness.The ringtone of a phone call interrupted his thoughts. He glanced at the screen without answering, noting the caller's name: "Mother." Two calls went unanswered before another notification caught his attention."Son, are you back in the country? Mr. Baron mentioned that you’re already leading the company, even though you haven’t come to the office. If you’re back, you should come home. Your father often asks about you."He read t
Darren waited calmly at the security post, watching Baron stride into the office with his usual air of confidence. Arrogant as ever, Darren thought. A faint smirk crossed his face as he observed Baron, who had no idea his every move was being monitored. Darren waited a few moments until Baron disappeared into his office, ensuring no employees were around.Once the area was quiet, Darren sprang into action. He pulled his phone from his pocket, his fingers dancing across the screen until he selected a contact labeled “Spy Eye.” After a brief moment, the line connected."Spy Eye," Darren said in a low, firm voice. "I want you to monitor Baron’s activities in the office through CCTV. I've also installed a few mini spy cameras in key locations. They’re all connected to the account I provided."There was silence on the other end for a moment, followed by a cold, professional reply. "Understood, boss. Everything is under surveillance. I’ll send you updates soon."Darren gave a small nod, kno
Darren felt his heartbeat quicken upon hearing Ms. Vina’s response. “To my father’s account?” he asked for confirmation. Bu Vina nodded in response. “I don’t think that’s possible. All of my father’s accounts have been transferred to my name. Everything concerning the company has been handed over to me.”Ms. Vina looked at Darren with a confused expression. “But the financial reports show funds flowing into your father’s account. The company profits are divided into two, sixty percent and forty percent. Both accounts are under Mr. Harison’s name.”Darren felt a surge of unease. “If everything has been transferred to me, how could funds still flow into my father’s account? Something isn’t right here, Ms. Vina. This means the company’s net income isn’t just going to me, but also to that account.”Outside, thunder roared, and rain began to pour heavily, its sound mirroring the tension in the air. The atmosphere in the restaurant grew slightly ominous.A notification appeared on Darren’s
The usually busy and dynamic atmosphere at Anugerah Langit Corporation's headquarters turned tense as a police car parked in the lot. Employees enjoying their lunch break stopped and stared at the vehicle with curiosity. Murmurs began to spread among them, creating an uneasy atmosphere.Mr. Leo, the perfectionist Head Manager, now looked disheveled. He stood at the office entrance with handcuffs on, his face a mix of disbelief and anger. A young police officer speaking firmly tried to explain the situation to Leo."Mr. Leo, we have substantial evidence of alleged embezzlement within the company. We need to take you in for further investigation," said the officer, showing an official arrest warrant."Wait a minute! This is all a misunderstanding! I’ve worked here for years. You can’t just arrest me without clear evidence! I demand my lawyer and a suspension of this detention," Leo protested, his voice rising.“Sorry, sir. We have a formal report from the company owner. We cannot suspen
That morning, the sun had just begun to rise, but Darren's emotions were already ablaze. His phonerang, and the name "Vina" appeared on the screen.“Mr. Darren, there's something I need to tell you. Starting today, Nadine is officially working at the headquarters as the Head Manager,” Vina's voice sounded soft and cautious.Darren was silent for a moment before replying in a tone struggling to contain his anger.“Who made that decision? Baron?!”Vina took a deep breath, as if already prepared to bear Darren's outburst. “No, it was a request from your mother. And it has apparently been approved by Mr. Harison.”Darren's fury could no longer be contained. His face flushed, and the muscles in his jaw tightened."Hmm... Vina, isn't the entire company’s business and authority now entirely in my hands? How could such an important decision be made without my knowledge?”On the other end of the phone, Vina could only listen. She knew Darren wasn’t just upset, he felt betrayed.“Listen, Vina,
“Check every transaction in Leo’s account. Anything suspicious, I want a report immediately.”“All transaction data for Leo’s accounts has been handed over to the lawyers. The police are already following up on the evidence provided.”“Good. Work quickly and professionally. I knew I made the right choice in selecting you as my special team. Before the police move, I want to know everyone behind Leo’s actions.”Darren ended the call and gazed out the glass window. The overcast sky seemed to mirror his guarded and cold mood.The next day, the atmosphere at the headquarters of Anugerah Langit Corporation was more subdued than usual. Employees sat at their cubicles, heads down, typing quietly, as if afraid the sound of their keyboards might be too loud. News of Leo’s death still haunted many, and without realizing it, suspicion began spreading among them. Some exchanged glances full of unspoken questions—was there more to it than just an accident?On the top floor of the building, Darren
That morning, the atmosphere at the headquarters of Anugerah Langit Corporation had drastically shifted. Employees gathered in the main lobby, whispering among themselves. Rumors of a major shake-up had been spreading for days, but no one expected it to happen so suddenly.The presence of Vina, a woman known for her ambition and impeccable reputation, alongside Darren known as Kemal, a security guard who had unexpectedly risen to a strategic position, turned the headquarters into a beehive disturbed by chaos.In front of the gathered employees, Vina stood elegantly in her formal suit. In her hand was a large envelope bearing the company logo and the owner's signature on the seal. She walked confidently toward the podium in the lobby, observing the crowd.“Good morning, everyone,” Vina said firmly yet softly. “I am here to deliver important news,” she announced.Vina’s gaze swept across the room, locking eyes with every person staring back in anxiety and curiosity. She then raised the
Chapter 11: The Luxury RestaurantDarren stepped out of his car, his gaze fixed on the modest house before him. The white, slightly faded paint and small windows framed by a lush mango tree in the yard exuded a warmth starkly contrasting the cutthroat corporate world he was used to. A plastic table and chairs sat on the porch, bearing the faintly weathered sign “Bu Sari’s Coffee & Gado-Gado.”Taking a deep breath, Darren approached the wooden door and knocked lightly.Keisha opened the door, her face lighting up with a broad smile, only for it to quickly morph into nervousness as she registered Darren's presence—not as the humble security guard she once knew, but as the head manager of the company she worked for."K-Kak Kemal?" she stammered, bowing slightly in embarrassment."Yes, it's me," Darren replied with an easy smile. "May I come in?""Oh! Of course, please come in!" Keisha stepped aside hurriedly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she gestured him in.Inside, the aro
The dawn had just touched the prison sky, replacing the darkness of night with a soft orange hue. The damp smell of concrete mingled with the cool morning breeze, enveloping the cell block. In the narrow corridor, five men emerged in hurried steps. They were former managers of Anugerah Langit Corporation, faces that once held power in the company's crucial divisions."I can't believe we're actually being released!" exclaimed Heru, a tall man with disheveled hair, hugging the shoulder of the friend beside him."Our silence wasn’t for nothing," replied Beni with a satisfied tone, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Mr. Baron must have planned something new. This is our reward."They walked past the large prison gates, accompanied by the envious gazes of other inmates left behind. As their feet touched the asphalt of the prison yard, their eyes were immediately drawn to a row of luxurious black cars. Two gleaming, dark-tinted vehicles were flanked by several sturdy men in b
The sound of Nadine’s car echoed as it entered the lavish mansion of the Baron family. The cold evening air weighed heavily on her shoulders. She walked quickly through the main door, her face tense, her mind occupied with the sudden changes at the headquarters of Anugerah Langit Corporation.In the living room, Baron, a middle-aged man with a stern face and piercing eyes, was sipping his coffee. Seated on a black leather chair surrounded by elegant decor that showcased his power and wealth, the calm atmosphere dissipated the moment Nadine entered with her heavy steps."Why the long face? What happened, my dear?" Baron asked without preamble, his voice deep and cold.Nadine sat in front of her father, trying to contain her anxiety. “Everything has changed, Father,” she said sharply, her tone cutting through the room. “Vina... she’s been appointed as CEO. I’m just the deputy. And, even worse, Kemal, that security guard, was made Head of HR.”Baron, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly
