Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Day after day, week after week, month after month, it had been three months since Gifer was no longer working as the CEO of Raya’s father’s company. Now, the company went bankrupt because of Raya’s carelessness which made her father very angry with her. Now her father wanted to call Gifer back to the company’s head office or the ‘Shinng Doll’ company. Raya came with an annoyed look on her face and stomped her feet to meet her father. The office door was opened rudely, Raya started to sit on the chair in front of her father and the argument started.

“What’s wrong with you calling me like this?” Raya asked, raising her voice slightly.

“You can still ask after what happened to your own company?” The father quipped with a disappointed face towards his daughter who seemed not to care about her own company. He entrusted Raya with all the rights of the company, but instead of praise, he received complaints from clients who wanted to work with RV Corporation.

“Yes, I know, my company is going bankrupt, so what?” Raya casually asked as if she didn’t understand anything. Without any guilt to her father who had given everything to her.

“You know everything but you just keep quiet without taking any action?” The father asked back which made Raya no less angry. Her face was already flushed red. She didn’t like being cornered like this. As if everything was her fault.

“Then what should I do? Persuade those clients who have canceled all cooperation with our company? Is that what you mean?” Raya’s reply was not inferior to her father’s.

“Yes, it’s an important thing to do, but you’re not even doing it, you’re busy going out with Indra Wicaksana, who turned out to be a pest in our company!” His father snapped. Mr. Kevin could no longer think clearly when it came to the near bankruptcy of his company.

“Don’t ever tell me that Indra is just a pest, Dad! Give me some time, and Indra and I will solve all my company’s problems on our own!”

“Wow, even your performance compared to Gifer’s is better, Dad! Gifer is a skillful and tenacious person. He can persuade clients and always thinks about the fate of the company! Unlike you who can only go out and take the company’s money, you even made all the clients cancel their cooperation with your company! Do you actually understand the world of business and offices or not, Raya?” This time Mr. Kevin was at the limit of his patience, he could no longer hold back his emotions towards his son who never thought about the fate of his own company.

“Now you’re comparing me to the blind man? He can’t do anything after going blind, Dad! He’s so useless!” Raya did not accept that her father favored Gifer in terms of managing the company.

“That’s for you, Raya! If you still want your company to be safe, then try to change, don’t put your ego in business and office matters. Okay, I’ll give you one more month to return everything, but if you can’t return everything within that time, then I’ll pull Gifer back into your company and restore its name to GF Corporation!” The father’s threat made Raya even more emotional and shocked. Both of her eyes bulged in disbelief at what her father had just said. Gifer would come back again? No! That will never happen! She thought.

“You can’t do that!” she argued.

“You can do anything when it comes to the company! Keep that in mind!” After saying that, Mr. Kevin walked towards his office door, but one sentence from Raya made him stop. Raya also stood up from her sitting position to face her father standing by the door.

“Then, just raise Gifer as your son!” Mr. Kevin clenched his hands into fists, walked quickly to Raya and slapped her.

PLAK!

“If God allowed me to have a son, he would never be as stupid as you are, Raya!” Mr. Kevin’s stern sentence with his index finger in front of Raya’s eyes.

After saying that, Mr. Kevin walked quickly out of his office leaving Raya standing still with tears already flowing from her eyes.

Mr. Kevin was now already in the car, he had a meeting with a client around 10:00, while it was still 8:15. Inside the car, he scratched his face harshly, regretting his actions because at that time he trusted Raya more and chose to take what already belonged to Gifer even though the sweet man could not see anymore. He instantly remembered Raya’s words at that time.

“Dad, I ask you to take all the assets of Gifer’s company, change the name to mine!” Raya suddenly came to her father’s room at the ‘Shinning Doll’ company.

“Why is that, child? Hasn’t Gifer’s performance been very good so far? After all, weren’t you the one who chose Gifer to be an employee in our company? Because his performance has always improved, I appointed him as CEO. You haven’t disputed this all this time. Are you fighting with Gifer?” Asked his father.

“It’s good, Father. But now he can’t see anymore. How can he carry out his duties as CEO of the company if he can’t even type? It’ll be even more troublesome and our company’s turnover will go down even more.”

“What do you mean, Raya? I still don’t understand all this,” Mr. Kevin asked with a puzzled frown. He was still trying to digest what his daughter wanted which he found strange. It was unusual for Raya to want to interfere with business and companies.

“Yes, Father. Gifer had an accident and he is blind. I just came from the hospital to see him and checked for myself that he can’t see anything. That’s why I broke up with him earlier.”

“What’s the story? I still don’t understand what you mean, Raya. Gifer… how did he get into an accident? Who hit him?” Her father asked again with a frown on his forehead.

“I’m behind on the news. So watch the news or at least look at the newspaper,” Raya took out a newspaper from her bag which showed that Gifer had a car accident to her father.

“Here, look. From here I went straight to see him at the hospital and I was disappointed in him because he was already blind. Why should I take care of a handicapped person like him? It’s not important,”

“Yes, but later Gifer will also ask for an explanation from Father, why the company suddenly went bankrupt and changed its name to yours,”

“Relax, Father. Gifer’s cell phone was destroyed in the accident, so she’ll never be able to contact me. I guarantee it, and remember, you have to take everything that was given to Gifer, leave it all to me. Make a rumor about Gifer’s company going bankrupt. Make sure all the media knows. Change the name to mine!” Raya’s order still made Mr. Kevin full of question marks in his head.

‘Why would Raya ask this much of her own father? And Gifer, that kid is innocent, do I have to do what Raya says? How much does she hate Gifer who is already blind?” Mr. Kevin thought.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“It turns out that this is the reason why Raya wanted to enter the world of office and business. I shouldn’t have fallen for Raya’s words back then! If this is the case, it will be difficult to persuade Gifer to return to the company.” Mr. Kevin was really sorry, he shouldn’t have dropped Gifer in such an unethical way. Without saying anything, he suddenly pulled the company back. He wanted to contact Gifer, but he didn’t have his cell phone number because at that time Gifer’s cell phone had been destroyed after his accident.

“Huh… should I go to his apartment? Has he gotten a job or not? If she has, this is automatically her work schedule.”

Mr. Kevin started running his car, his destination now was Gifer’s apartment. He was eager to meet the man, apologize to him, and start again what had been destroyed. In about 20 minutes, Mr. Kevin arrived at the apartment where Gifer lived. Yes, he knew and still remembered the location of Gifer’s apartment because he used to and even often when discussing office matters in that apartment.

Mr. Kevin stood in front of the door of Gifer and Haris’ apartment. He started knocking on the door. Not waiting long, the door opened, he was invited to enter. Gifer and Haris sat next to each other on the dark blue sofa and Mr. Kevin across from them.

“So, what is the purpose of Mr. coming here?” Gifer asked with a bit of a forced smile.

“My coming here is, I want Gifer to be able to work again in the company that has been taken by Raya.” Hearing that made Gifer and Haris surprised. What game is this again? Thought both of them.

“How? Does Gifer want to?”
