Chapter 3: Valentino's Plan

Valentino hung up on Agusta's phone with annoyance. No, not annoyed with Agusta of course. But annoyed with the idiot called by Agusta. He immediately stood up and started walking towards Agusta's room but when he had only walked a few steps, someone startled him. 

"Where are you going? You haven't finished your work yet, do you want to play?" Alfredo asked, his superior in production. 

"I'm sorry, sir. I was asked by Mr. Agusta to go to his office," Valentino said. 

Alfredo's eyes narrowed. 

"Actually, what relationship do you have with Mr. Agusta?" Alfred asked. 

Valentino just found out that there were people who interfere too much in people's affairs. 

"Of course it's about job, sir," Valentino said casually. 

"Job? Don't make me laugh, Aditya! You are clearly in the production department while Mr. Agusta is the general manager of this company."

"You also know that meeting Mr. Agusta is not easy. Then, how could he even call you?" Alfredo asked surprised.

"Why don't you ask Mr. Agusta directly about my relationship with him?" Valentino challenged, who was already quite annoyed by his boss.

Alfredo chuckled.

"Is it because you think that you have been called many times and meeting with Mr. Agusta has given you the upper hand? Do you feel close to him? Is that so, Aditya? Don't dream!" Alfredo sneered.

Valentino let out a slow breath. Gosh, he was trying so hard not to throw water on his boss' head.

"But I'm close to him, sir. This is proof that I was called there directly," Valentino said calmly.

Alfredo immediately snorted.

"It doesn't mean that you have been summoned and you feel that you have a close relationship with Mr. Agusta. Yes already there go! Don't make him wait!" Alfredo said.

Valentino immediately ran away from there because he was afraid that he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and strangled the man. But again when he was in the elevator, he ran into someone he didn't want to meet at this time, David Araya. He was also in the elevator accompanied by his beautiful secretary, Almyra.

"Good afternoon, sir!" Valentino said.

Valentino wanted to avoid this person. But if he left, it would look very suspicious. So he decided to stay in the elevator. 

David Araya just nodded. For David, it was not very important to deal with lowly employees like Valentino. For him, useful employees were employees who have high positions in the company. 

"Baby, will you stay at my place later?" David whispered right in Almyra's ear which made the sexy woman shudder. 

David just smiled at the reaction of the woman who had warmed his bed. 

Almyra smiled sensually. 

"Of course. But remember, it's not free," Almyra said bluntly. 

"Oh, baby. You don't have to worry about such things. I'm the director president of AL Group. Have you forgotten that? Anything I can give you, as long as you give me what I want. You know what I mean, right?" David asked, staring intently at Almyra in the elevator. 

Valentino's stomach churned. 

Damn, he enjoyed playing with women while his employees had to work hard, Valentino cursed in his heart. 

"I get it, Baby. You know my apartment rent is expensive, right?" Almyra said shamelessly. 

David suddenly pulled Almyra closer to him until Almyra's chest touched his. 

The woman shrieked in surprise but she still gave a seductive smile to David Araya. 

"Whatever you want, honey," David said with a grin. 

Valentino who was standing in front of the two people felt like throwing up. He was really disgusted by his stepbrother's behavior. Well, he actually had no problem with the playboy title that had been pinned on David Araya. But at least he should maintain his behavior in the office. However, it turned out that the man could not maintain his self-esteem. 

How could such a man become the president director of AL Group to succeed his father? 

Valentino was immediately rescued by an open elevator. Finally he arrived at the floor where Agusta's room was. 

"Excuse me, sir," Valentino said, still trying to be polite. 

David just nodded and didn't really care about Valentino. Valentino was sure that after he got out of the elevator, David would immediately pounce on the woman who was considered hot. 

"Ah, finally you came too," Agusta said relieved. 

The man immediately closed the paper and he stood up to get some water from his fridge and gave it to Valentino who had just arrived. 

"What did that idiot do to make you call me here?" Valentino asked.

He took the bottle of mineral water given by Agusta. He started drinking it.

"He told me to make another new proposal for a big company. He wants to win the tender again," Agusta replied.

Pftt ... Coughed.

Agusta was surprised to see his friend coughing because he was choking on drinking water.

"Take it slow, man!" Agusta said.

Valentino was still coughing. He only started talking when the cough subsided.

"Has he gone mad? Did he think making such a proposal was easy?" Valentino said, annoyed.

"I thought he was crazy about fame. So maybe he thinks if he wins more tenders, the employees will like him more," Agusta replied.

Valentino was now laughing.

Coughed.

Valentino was annoyed that he had to cough like that. 

"Well, what's so funny?" Agustaa asked in surprised. 

"Of course. This is very funny. Can't you see? It means that he is indeed incompetent to do anything. This will make it easier for me to take over this company," Valentino said confidently. 

Augusta frowned. 

"How to?" Augusta asked.

Valentino smirked. 

"That's easy. Earn his trust!" Valentino replied.

 Agusta looked at Valentino confusedly. 

"You have to earn his trust. You just do what he wants. Once he trusts you completely, this will make it easier for us to carry out our plans," Valentino explained. 

Agusta groaned in annoyance. 

"But he told me to work on a proposal that even I don't really understand," Agusta said.

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll do it. You just act in front of him if you can do anything. How is it?" Valentino asked.

Agusta sighed.

"Okay. I'll do. I also can't wait to see you reclaim this company," Agusta said sincerely.

Valentino smiled.

Agusta was the only person he could trust in this company and he hoped that his friend would be loyal to him until the end.

"By the way, do you know Almyra? David's secretary?" Valentino asked.

"I know the person but I don't really know her. Why did you suddenly ask that?" Agusta asked curiously.

"Get close to her! She could be our informant someday."
