The Rise of the Abject Man (Al Detective)
Chapter 23

"Wait a minute, Pa." Madam Nadia does not want Joana to get married, however she wants Dimas to be the leader in the company. So that she did not approve the decision of her husband who just decided to accept the proposal from Alvaro.

"We are a distinguished family, you know, papa can not just accept a proposal from him. We need to know the background of the man. Our Joana is precious, we can't marry Joana off to a man ." Madam Nadia behaves as if she cares so much for Joana, even though she does not want Joana to marry anyone anytime soon. To have Joana disqualified from the requirement of being the company leader.

Joana wants to vomit to hear the words of her stepmother, who pretends to care for her, when in reality she does not. So far Madam Nadia never cared about him, which there was a very bad treatment for Joana.

Joana actually wants to shout loudly that she and Alvaro have nothing to do. But he did not want to ruin this party event, moreover he did not want to humiliate his father in front of everyone. What would happen if they knew that all this was an essay, Alvaro had made the matter even more complicated.

Every time Joana glared at him, the man smiled sweetly at her, as if he was mocking her, no matter what the man wanted to her, she said, so Alvaro pretends to tell his father that the man loves Joana and wants to marry Joana.

"The important thing is that they love each other, for papa it's enough." Mr. Riki responded to the words of his wife who asked Mr. Riki not to be rash to accept a proposal from Alvaro.

Dimas had never seen Alvaro in person, but he already knew the face of Bianca's ex-husband when he saw the photo at Alvaro's former home, when Alvaro works at night, Dimas often meets Bianca at Alvaro's modest home, and of course they make love there. And the house was already sold by Bianca, to pay off the debt to the bank, because Alvaro used to have a lot of debt to finance Bianca's college, to realize the dream of a woman who had become his ex-wife.

"What is your job? I don't want my sister to marry a man whose origins aren't clear." Dimas said, pretending to be an older brother who's worried about his sister's future. Since he knew Alvaro was a poor man, the question was to drop Alvaro's pride.

Alvaro answered him straightforwardly. "My name is Alvaro Ferdinand, I happen to have my own office in the service field." Alvaro's job is indeed in the field of services, services in investigating a case, and he is the owner of his office. But he couldn't possibly tell her clearly that he was Detective Al, because he had enough enemies, especially those who didn't accept his crimes had been exposed by him.

Then Alvaro clapped his hand twice, as if giving a code to someone.

Prokk...

Prokk...

Gleen and Danu, who were usually dressed casually, now had to dress quite neatly, in order to help their best friend.

It made all the female guests who were there, terwah-wah, was enough with the appearance of Alvaro who captivated the attention with his good looks and courage, now appeared again two handsome men to the party.

Gleen and Danu brought some parcels for Mr. Riki, and the parcel left the people there flabbergasted, not because of branded goods, but a rare and antique item, he said, of course the price is fantastic.

Gleen showed me everything she was carrying, one of them was a Swiss watch. "This is a Swiss Watch, created during the Industrial Revolution, and successfully auctioned at the Sotheby’s New York event."

Alvaro happens to get the watch from a client in Switzerland, because only Alvaro can solve the case of an accident that befell the family of a noble in Switzerland. There are only 22 people in the world who own the watch, and the price reaches approximately 100 billion.

Danu also showed a vase that was blue and white, many who knew how expensive the vase was. "This is a Ming Dynasty vase, made in 1735."

Not just any flower vase, the price reaches dozens of billions of rupiah. Alvaro why these items from all clients, because the client is not only in the country, but also in the country a lot.

In addition, the two of them also gave some other items to Mr. Riki, until Mr. Riki was surprised, because not just anyone who can get all of it. It turned out that his prospective son-in-law was not just anyone, could get things that were difficult to obtain.

Alvaro successfully makes everyone there look in amazement at him, making Dimas and Bu Nadia fire beard. While Bianca, she looked like a confused person, why would Alvaro be able to obtain such items? Alvaro is not a poor man anymore. What is Alvaro?

While Joana, she can only bite a finger, it seems like she will have more trouble explaining to her father about her and Alvaro's relationship, which is actually between them not having a special relationship.

...****************...

After the situation is safe, Joana pulls Alvaro's hand, taking him away to a safe place to discuss their problems. He wanted to talk to Alvaro at the rooftop that was in the party hall, he wanted to ask Alvaro for an explanation as to why Alvaro had suddenly proposed to him.

"Just tell me, why are you proposing to me? Because you're making this misunderstanding all the more complicated." Joana said in an annoyed tone to the man.

Alvaro answered him lightly. "Please take it to help you, instead of you being required to get married by your father for the sake of company right?" Alvaro had guessed it, definitely for the sake of power in the company, such was life in the noble world.

Alvaro does not have any feelings for Joana, all he wants is the destruction of Bianca, so he will make Joana the leader in the company. To make Joana his instrument of revenge, and to lure Dion into revealing his true identity.

To be honest Joana is also not willing if the company falls into the hands of her stepbrother, a company that has been built from scratch by her father, who surely her mother used to play a role in the success of the company. But because he has a lover, he automatically wants to marry the lover, not with others, let alone Alvaro, the lewd man.

"I don't think you should interfere in my affairs. I already have a lover, I'll marry him, not you." Joana says it with great emphasis.

One day Joana will thank Alvaro, because Alvaro indirectly saved Joana from Dion. Alvaro can't say that Dion is a psychopath. A detective is prohibited from concluding anything without any concrete evidence.

"But your father has accepted my proposal, therefore you must prepare to be my wife" Alvaro replied very casually.

Joana frowned, she did not understand the pervert, why Alvaro suddenly wanted to marry her, but if she saw how Alvaro behaved to her, did not show that the man was interested in her.

"What made you suddenly want to marry me?" Ask Joana with great emphasis.

Alvaro accidentally heard the sound of someone's footsteps, he smiled smrik when he saw behind the emergency door that a woman in a white dress was peeping at them from a distance, he knew who it was. She was Bianca, the woman had just arrived there, curious about what Alvaro and Joana were talking about in the rooftop.

Alvaro walked two steps, making his distance closer to Joana, he held Joana's face, looked at the two beautiful girl's eyes. "Of course it's because I want to live with the person I love so much."

Joana felt that what Alvaro said was a joke. "Love? Don't plan..."

Joana did not continue her words, she was wide-eyed when Alvaro pulled her waist, so that her lips stuck to Alvaro's lips, the man kissed her lips, so that Joana stopped talking.

Behind the door, Bianca was clenching her hands with a burning heart, her breathing rising and falling irregularly. His heart ached and was angry to see Alvaro kiss Joana's lips.

Among all the men in the world, why should Alvaro be her future husband Joana. Until death, he would never let Alvaro belong to anyone else.

Joana wanted to let go of Alvaro's kiss, but the man instead deepened his kiss, clenched their lips, and his hands tightly hugged his waist. Not even reluctant to enter the man's tongue, explore every inch of Joana's mouth, making Joana's resistance increasingly weakened because carried away atmosphere.

Maybe because Alvaro is a normal man, although at first he kissed Joana's lips to silence her mouth, so that her words were not heard by Bianca. But he was also carried away, the kiss had made him get late, taste the sweetness of the lips of the girl.

Wanting Bianca to run and separate them, she was very nauseous with what she saw. Alvaro so greedy kiss Joana's lips, their kiss looks very int-im.

"Why do you have to kiss her, Al? I don't want to see it." said Bianca. He couldn't see their affection.
