A Mate is Never Wrong
Dinner Invitation.

At the age of twenty-two, Handoko built a property business in the city of Jakarta without Niko's knowledge. As soon as Niko graduated from college, she was surprised to get the responsibility of managing the company.

Niko wanted to refuse, but Handoko's decision was unanimous and she had to go through with it. Although Niko was angry at Handoko at the time, she felt that the task had to be undertaken to finance her life. After all, who else will take care of the company other than himself, the only son of Handoko Lais.

Five years after taking care of his papa-owned property company, Niko got an offer with a salary and luxury facilities to become the head of marketing at BK Group.

Having his confidants manage the property company, Niko accepts BK Group's offer to market their products.

BK Group is engaged in the field of furniture. The Business and Management Department that Niko took was very suitable for her work.

Because of Niko's business in the property sector, he often references his business to customers who want to have luxury buildings and home furnishings of good quality.

Thanks to the collaboration, BK Group's turnover and Niko's business income were no joke. The number of accounts that BK Group reaches exceeds ten every month. As a result, now they want Niko to become a leader in BK Group.

"You've got people to take care of your business. I don't think it matters if you become the leader there. You can do it."

Niko's eyebrows are wrinkled. "Until now I don't know who owns BK Group, Pa. I've worked there for years, I've never seen the leader."

Handoko switched the conversation. "Tonight we're going to their house."

Niko surprised. "To whose house, to the house of the leader of BK Group?"

"No, Niko," Handoko chuckled, "we're going to Wulan's house. Uncle Jefry invited us to dinner at eight. It's just a regular dinner. He wants to get to know you more closely."

Niko knew the owner of Bebbi Residence was the number one richest person in Jakarta. However, it never occurred to him that the owner of the elite housing was his papa friend.

"Then, when is Papa going to propose to Wulan for me?"

"Fastly. Tonight's their chance to judge you, both by your visuals and your attitude. Papa hope you don't embarrass papa, Niko."

"That's not gonna happen, Pa. Just relax."

Niko's happy. So happy he immediately stood up without caring about the whereabouts of Handoko.

The man was confused. "Where are you going?"

"I go to the room first, I want to share this happy news with Wulan."

"Isn't it better if you give him a surprise?"

Niko thought for a moment. "Did Jefry talk to her about me?"

"That's. You've met him a lot, hasn't he talked to you about that?"

"No."

"Maybe Jefry's still keeping it a secret. Let's see it tonight. Maybe he'll be surprised to see you coming with papa."

Imagining it made Niko chuckle. He then glanced at the watch and said goodbye to Handoko.

"I'll get ready first."

Handoko did not forbid. There was a sense of happiness in him seeing Niko's current change. The boy was more polite and talkative. Though previously Niko stingy words, although Handoko spoke at length.

On the other side.

On the way home Wulan looked happy when he was driving a car.

Since she was in love with Niko Lais a few days ago, Wulan has smiled more than usual. He was always made happy by that man. And Wulan was more convinced, that Niko was a man who was suitable to be her husband.

Drtts... Drtts...

The phone vibration shocked Wulan. He played down the music and then connected the call that turned out to be from Ulan.

"Hello, Ma?"

"Honey, where are you?"

"I'm on my way home, Ma."

"Your father invited his friend to dinner at our house. Hurry home, yeah."

Wulan's expression changed. "Friends papa ... Do I also have to come to dinner with them?"

"I'm sorry, dear. Mama knows you must have an appointment with your friend. Mama's just delivering papa's message, papa wants us all to be here tonight."

"alright. Fifteen minutes to come."

Wulan sad. Although Angelina knows she often goes to dinner with a man, Wulan has not revealed her identity and status to Angelina.

Angelina is not demanding either. For him it was enough Wulan was willing to open her heart again to other men after how many years of breaking up from her ex. There must be a time when Wulan will tell him about the man's identity.

Two seconds after Angelina's call was interrupted, Wulan sought Niko's contact and contacted her.

While driving the car he stared at the road and waited for the call to be connected via bluetooth audio.

"Hello, Honey?"

"Honey," Wulan replied with a sad expression. Previously he had contacted Niko to inform him of his return, "Tonight papa the arrival of guests. Papa wants us all to have dinner together. Looks like tonight we can't have dinner together."

"I don't know, honey. You're not angry, are you? I didn't want to come, but Mama just called me and told me to go home quickly."

"Your father's friend has a son, your father has no intention of marrying you to another man, right?"

Wulan chuckles. "Your mind is too far, honey. I just don't know which papa's friend is coming tonight. I don't want to know and I don't want to know."

Niko chuckled back. "I don't mind, as long as you have to promise me."

"What promise?"

"You should keep your eyes off other men. If your father's friend is carrying his son, you should not look at or interact with him. Nor can you show me your sweet smile."

Wulan. "You're too much, honey."

"I don't want to share, honey. You are mine, all about you is mine."

Wulan's heart is blossoming. "alright. I'll send a message when it arrives."

"Remember our agreement, must not interact and smile at him."

"Yes, yes."

Wulan laughed then decided on the call. Three seconds after Niko's call was cut off, her phone shook again. The name of Ulan is seen as a caller.

"Hello, Lan?"

"Sister! Brother where?" the person behind the phone is crying.

"I'll be home soon. What's up, Lan? Why are you crying?"

"The story is long, brother. Come here, I want to talk."

"Yes, yes."

Wulan quickly disconnects the call, then steps on the gas pedal deeper. The curiosity towards it made him want to arrive soon.

Only five minutes Wulan finally got home.

"Hello, Ma," said Wulan as soon as she saw Angelina, "Where is she?"

"Ulan's in the room. What's the matter, why does your face look panicked?"

"It's okay, I want to talk to him."

Wulan knew her step-sister was very introverted about her personal to anyone she cared about. He immediately went to Ulan's room, without telling Angelina about Ulan's crying that he heard earlier.

Without knocking on the door of Wulan's room directly into Ulan's room.

"Sister!" Ulan ran and cried in Wulan's arms. The woman was still wearing her office clothes.

Wulan's confused. He returned Ulan's embrace and rubbed his back. "What's wrong, why are you crying?"

Ulan let go of the hug and sat on the bed. "I want to be matched. Papa wants to set me up with papa's friend's son."

"Geez, I think why."

"The thing is, I don't want to get married, brother. I don't even know what that guy looks like."

Wulan smiled. "Stupid doesn't mean you're getting married, does it?"

"That's why I don't want to. I want to marry the man of my choice, brother. I don't want to marry papa's chosen man."

"Just try it first, who knows you're a good fit for each other."

Ulan. "I don't want to. Anyway I want to get married, except for the man I love."

"Do you know who this match is from?"

"Papa himself said. How many days ago, papa said he was gonna set me up with his friend's son. To my astonishment, said the man liked me very much, but I never met him, Brother."

Wulan chuckled then hugged Ulan. Despite being a half-brother, he loved Ulan as much as his own younger brother.

"You don't want to because you haven't seen it, right? How about you see it first? Who knows after seeing it your feelings immediately grow."

"That's impossible, Brother."

"That's possible."

Ulan was silent.

"Now prepare. Tonight we have to attend dinner, papa's friend is coming. So, we have to look beautiful."

"All right."
