Leaning on the matte black Mclaren 720s, bas was waiting for the male to come already but the male took so long. After few minutes of waiting, he could finally be seen walking out from the mansion towards her agonizingly slow.

"Can you hurry the fuck up?" Bas yelled angrily as her patience were wearing thin.

"Chill wah. it's our off day, man." The male named Ardi said nonchalantly while getting inside the passenger seat.

Bas just rolled her eyes and went inside the driver seat. They both put on their seatbelts and bas started the engine.

"What the hell took you so long?"

Ardi put the radio to bluetooth mode and connected it to his phone. he put Reminisansi by Insomniacks and started singing.

"I just finished showering."

"Batah jua ko mandi." Bas commented, pulling out of The Royal resident.

"Kau tau lah lau aku mandi aku misti nyanyi." He said and then, continued to sing along with the song. Bas just shook her head and focused on the road.

It's not that Bas hated Ardi, it's just that she was impatient. She was excited to take her favorite k-pop boy group's album that she had ordered a week prior at the mall but Ardi was taking the time in the world to get ready. Ardi came along because his protein shake is running out and he needed to buy more.

Few minutes later, they arrived at the mall and parked at VIP parking spot. People around were looking at them, as they were amazed by the car and the outfits Bas and Ardi were wearing. Ardi were dripping in Dior while Bas in Gucci.

After they got their stuffs, they decided to buy some take away and went home. But on their way towards the exit, a small perfume shop grabbed bas attention. There was a lot of customers inside.

"Why don't we go to that shop? I wanna see what kind of scent they offer that got a lot of attention."  Bas suggested and ardi agreed.

They walked inside and looked around. fortunately, there was enough space to squeeze through. One of the employees came towards them and asked.

"Welcome to Scented! How may i help you?" The female asked them politely.

"Uhm, what's with the commotion?" Bas asked and the female worker's eyes lit up.

"We just released our latest perfume called Sofia." The worker said and bas followed as they were heading to a much more brighter section of perfumes. The sole reason why Ardi and Bas were being treated nicely as soon as they stepped inside the shop was because they looked rich and it was rare to see such expensive-looking people to be inside a small perfume shop that people barely visit.

"The scent is very sweet with a little hint of coconut and cinnamon." The employee said as she offered to wipe the sample on bas and Ardi's wrist.

Ardi and Bas raised an eyebrow at the said description of the perfume. They both sniffed it. The scent of the perfume made them widened their eyes.

"We take this." Bas said. The employee took one of the perfume and walked towards the counter. Bas went there and paid.

right after they exited the shop, Bas received a phone call from a very familiar caller ID.

"Bas, go to the office now. We're having a meeting." The person on the other line said.

"Eh, na. what happened?" Bas asked as she and Ardi went down the escalator. Ardi was looking at her, intrigued by what Bas and Aainaa were talking about on the phone.

"Just come here. Boss is mad MAD right now." Aainaa emphasized the word mad on the other line.

"Aight, be there in 20." Bas ended the call and Ardi asked her immediately.

"A sudden meeting. Na said boss is mad right now."

Bas parked at the VIP spot and the both of them went inside immediately. While walking towards the lift, few employees greeted them as they walked pass by them. The two immediately went to floor six.

This floor is owned by those who work for the 'dark side' of the Simp Enterprise. Well, some of the workers knew the dark side and some were even work for it but floor six is especially made for the one with higher position in the mafia and those who were close to the boss, which only for Bas, Ardi, Aainaa, Wazien and the other four. the others either work at the warehouse or the club or the company itself.

At this floor, they have their own office room, a set of couch and a meeting room, as well as necessary features for a normal office such as a coffeemaker, a photocopy machine, etc. Oh, and don't forget a secret room that hide guns and other stuff in there just incase anything happen to the company.

The two rushed inside the transparent meeting room, panting a little bit and sat down on the empty chairs at the end of the table as the other chairs were occupied by Aainaa, Wazien, Rahman, Azib, Muaz and Adri. Bat was sitting at the head of the table.

"Manu just informed me that half of the new batch of our newly launched perfume were stolen from our warehouse." Bat said, pissed. The statement made everyone gasped in shock.

"Half of them?!" Adri exclaimed.

"Yes! Half of them! I can't believe they can easily stole them. I swear, if the securities are slacking, I'm gonna fucking kill them." Bat gritted her teeth as she clenched her fist on the table.

"From what I've checked, the warehouse is tightly secured. there's no way they get in that easily." Azib said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Unless they collaborated with someone inside." Rahman said.

"And the fact that they stole half of our perfume that me and Muaz created is devastating! We've worked our ass off to make the strongest and sweetest perfume that can stick for up to 5 days! And they just easily stole them?! That's so enraging!" Aainaa frustratedly rubbed her face with both of her hands.

"Iatah tu wahh! Ngalih-ngalih saja aku sama si aainaa buat." Muaz added, feeling the same amount of frustration as Aainaa.

"Gila jua. Kurang ajar banar durang ani." Rahman commented.

"They're disturbing our exports and delaying our shipments. I'm afraid that the news of our perfumes being delayed spread fastly. The demands we've been receiving from overseas are high and with this case, it may leave a bad reputation on our company." Wazien said.

"Ya! That's what i'm afraid of! Heather is one of our most successful perfume that you both made and we gained a lot of profits when we first launched it last week." Bat sighed as she leaned on the swivel chair, rubbing her temple.

"We really need to search who's the culprit behind this. I swear, if i ever get my hands on them, they'll never EVER gonna see the world again." Bat said, emphasizing the word ever.

"No need to search, boss." Ardi spoke up from being silence since they entered the meeting room.

"We found them already." Bas smirked as she put the perfume that she bought from the perfume shop at the mall on the table and passed it to the boss.

"So, we went to this perfume shop called Scented and found this perfume. It smelled awfully familiar. So, i bought it." Bas said, watching as the boss and others sniffed the perfume.

"Fuck, it smelled exactly the same as Heather!" Muaz exclaimed.

"Yeah and the fact that they changed the bottle and renamed it as Sofia is insane. They even sell them for $30. Thirty-fucking-dollar, man. We sell them for $60. Palui pakah, and there was a lot of customers at the shop buying the perfume." Bas said, feeling so pissed.

"For $30? fuck, this is a big loss and unacceptable!" Bat yelled in frustration and everyone was silenced.

The only thing that could be heard in the silenced meeting room was Aainaa's fingers typing on her laptop.

"The owner of Scented is J.Yunus, 39 years old. His business has been running for 3 years now. The business is just small and at the edge of bankruptcy. That explain why he decided to steal our perfumes and rebrand it. he's desperate." Aainaa explained as she turned her laptop so the others could see how the owner of Scented looked like.

"To even think that he stole from a 17 years old girl. he clearly underestimate me." Bat snickered.

"capture him and bring him to me." Bat commanded.

"Yes, boss!"
