The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 81 New Concerns

After chemotherapy, Steven's hair started to fall out. He now spends more time at home. In addition to having to rest a lot, Steven also should not work that heavy-weight.

In the afternoon, Steven met with Aldo. Rarely did he meet Aldo in the afternoon, as he usually returned home late at night.

"Hey, do. Tumben you're home fast. How's work at the office? Smoothly?"

"Yes, smoothly. Everything's fine"

"I heard you moved Rick to another section"

Rick is Steven's personal assistant. He has worked for Steven for quite a while, so he is actually more knowledgeable about his work than Aldo.

"Yes indeed. The important thing is that I didn't fire him according to your will. Besides, I already have my own assistant, her name is Davina. I prefer female assistants, because male assistants are boring."

"Male or female, the important thing is it works well, do. Don't confuse it with finding a partner."

"Davina works great, too"

"Yes, it's up to you, do"

"Yes, it's up to me, Tev. I'm the leader now"

"Hey, don't call me that, you can call me Tev..."

"Just your two best friends, you mean that?"

"Yes" Steven started to get inflamed. He knew Aldo deliberately called him Tev just to upset him.

"Don't worry and interfere again about work, Steve. Everything's fine. Okay?" After that Aldo patted Steven's shoulder gently and went to his room.

Steven returned to his room in annoyance. Aldo was always a bitch. This makes Steven want to heal quickly.

Steven was actually getting bored at home, as he did almost nothing. It is far from his once dynamic life. Dimas and Arya still occasionally like to come to visit him. So does Elena. Steven missed Elena today, but when he was about to call Elena, one of the ARTs at his house told him he had a female guest.

Steven, who thought that his guest was Elena, headed straight for the living room. But when he arrives in the living room it turns out his guest is Celine.

"Celine, what's going on here? How do you know my home address?" Ask Steven without further ado.

"I'm looking at the employee data, sir"

Steven frowned. 'It should be that employee data should not be carelessly leaked. But how can Celine see the data? Does he work with other officers?' thought Steven.

"Ehem... Then please sit down, Celine"

"I'm sorry if I was sassy here, because I just found out that Mr. Steven has resigned from the company"

"Yes, I'm sick. Because the treatment process took time, so I was forced to resign and replaced by my half-brother named Aldo"

"Yes, I know. Mr Aldo who used to be his position as General Manager right sir before moving to Surabaya?"

"Yes, right. Since I've resigned from the company, you can call me Koko"

"Like Elena called Koko?"

"Yes, like Elena"

"I'm actually disappointed Elena didn't tell me about the father's illness, uh koko"

"Don't blame Elena, I asked only a few people to know"

"Sorry if I'm sassy. Allow me to take care of the cocoa while the cocoa is sick. I was even willing to quit my job to take care of Koko"

Steven was shocked to hear Celine's words. It's true what Elena said that Celine likes her.

"Eh... Sorry Celine, I can't. Especially if you sacrifice your job for me"

"Why?"

"It's okay. My family can still take care of me. I don't want to trouble anyone, as much as I can take care of myself"

"That's it, ko... "

"Sorry, it's starting tonight. You better get home soon. Your parents will be worried. I'll ask Mr. Sofyan to drive you home"

"So we'll have another conversation sometime, Celine. I want to rest first"

Shortly after, Sofyan arrives and takes Celine home.

**

The conversation with Aldo and the arrival of Celine was enough to make Steven become dizzy. Steven does not like if his trusted assistant for years dropped out of office, as well as the arrival of Celine who he thinks desperate.

Steven doesn't like aggressive women. There used to be a woman who was obsessed with him to follow wherever he went. It made him traumatized. Moreover, Celine to be able to access employee data, according to him it is dangerous, he is afraid that the data will be misused by irresponsible people.

Two days later, Sylvia contacted him. He asked Steven again to undergo several tests to check whether the cancer cells in Steven's body were clean or new cells appeared. Steven followed Sylvia's request.

One week later, Sylvia asked Steven to come to the hospital to read out the results of the test that Steven had undergone. This time Steven came alone. His feelings began to feel bad, but he did not touch him because he still wanted to think positively.

"Steve, I've been talking about this with an oncologist and a pulmonologist for a pulmonary specialist. With a heavy heart, I have to tell you that the cancer cells are still in your body and have risen to stage 3."

"What's? Are you sure, Syl?"

"Yes, I'm sure Steve"

"But didn't you say the cancer cells were clean when I was in chemo?"

"Yes, Steve. For some reason, the cells reappeared. Do you still like to cough, Steve?"

"Yes still, Syl"

"You've been thinking a lot lately?"

"Does that have an effect?"

"Yes, Steve"

"It looks like it did"

"I think you rest a lot at home and calm your mind"

"Yes, but it's impossible to calm the mind if it's still at home with Aldo"

"Hmmm... I get your point. After getting what he wanted, he should have stopped being such a bitch"

"Can't Syl, it looks like it's innate from birth" They both smiled wryly at Aldo who never tired of bothering Steven.

"Maybe he'll stop bothering me when I'm gone"

"Steve, don't say that"

"Are we going to start all over again, Syl?"

"No, Steve. After this you should be in chemo again. Hopefully this time the cells do not appear again after chemo"

"Do I still have hope to live?"

"Yes, you still have hope to live."

"How long will I live? "

"Cannot be sure. That can be predicted in stage 4, Steve. Between 6 months to 1 year"

"Syl, I'm thinking of various treatment methods in other countries that have already worked"

"I think it's too risky, Steve. Especially if the location of the country is far like in Europe or in America"

"If it makes me fully healed, I think I'll do it"

"Strict, Steve. I'll always help you until you're completely healed"

"Thanks, Syl. I'm gonna need a lot of help later"

"Good, Steve. I'm ready to help you"

After that Steven pampit go home and bring the test results for him to talk with his papi later.
