Made Sofia so desperate to get someone to investigate something. Just call his name Ash. A trusted spy for Sofia who always used a pseudonym for his every move.
Act as a shadow to track down whatever Sofia needs. Ash is the son of her deceased husband's confidant as well.
"Immediately investigate anything about this woman," Sofia submitted a profile and photo to aid in the investigation.
Sofia then added.
"I want to know anything about her. How did she know Robby and what was Robby's goal in bringing her back? Anyway, you need to investigate all of them. And keep an eye on them," said Sofia giving her warning.
Ash, who had brown eyes and a firm face line up to his well-built body, can always be a party that Sofia can rely on after he has been so well tempered by his father.
Gave a sign of his willingness to carry out his mission. The man in black robes then left secretly from Sofia's residence. Come and go like the invisible wind and air.
Sofia will look forward to the results of the investigation.

On the other hand. Return to Aretta's office. Where Aretta asked Harry for a moment to talk. Harry and Cleo were already staring at each other. Feeling that there was nothing they need to talk about. Harry refused gently for his first refusal.
"I don't have time. Maybe next time," he exclaimed casually because he would never want to have time to talk to Aretta.
Aretta returned to coax.
"But I want to talk about something important," exclaimed Aretta, who was now reducing her formal attitude.
Harry raised his eyebrows slightly. Willy seemed interested in what they were going to talk about. Capturing that there was a certain atmosphere that emphasized that the two know each other more than just co-workers.
Willy looked at both of them seriously.
"Don't you understand human language?" exclaimed Harry in a sharp tone. Aretta didn't choose to give up or back down.
"I promise it won't be too long," said Aretta again trying to persuade. That made Cleo a little curious about what Aretta might say.
Harry then said.
"Okay, as long as she comes with me!" exclaimed Harry, pointing at Cleo. Cleo spontaneously pointed to herself.
"Me?" she exclaimed loudly.
Shit!! Why is he looking for friends anyway?! Cleo thought and did not understanding.
Feeling Harry's game was too childish just to play with his ex. Cleo could only reluctantly stare at Aretta. Waiting for an answer from her. Aretta couldn't help but be forced to give up.
"Alright. But we're not talking about this here," exclaimed Aretta, glancing at Willy slightly with an uncomfortable feeling. Willy immediately responded quickly.
"Okay. I will go. Do whatever you want. You will wait for my turn later," said Willy, who seemed to have his own thoughts about what they were going to talk about.
The three of them then gathered again in the meeting room, leaving only the three of them and no one else there. Waited impatiently, Harry began to ask the woman the purpose of holding him down. "So now, what do you want to say?" asked Harry with a feeling of foul. Harry didn't seem happy to start any conversation with Aretta. Especially if it will bring back memories from the past.
"I won't accept it if it's something insignificant," Harry express his objection.
Cleo was still waiting patiently for the two failed lovebirds to start talking. Seeing firsthand the tension on Aretta's face and knew that she didn't really like her presence.
Cleo just ignored Aretta's uncomfortable glances.
Harry became increasingly impatient, until starting to ask again with annoyance.
"You have no intention of speaking?" asked Harry while waiting. He knew where this conversation will lead. Didn't like having to waste a lot of his time.
Harry was about to leave, but Aretta held him back.
"I want to apologize," said Aretta for the first time with a flushed face. Didn't know because it was on purpose or not. Her face this time gave the impression that she was truly sorry.
Harry only glanced at her with one eye.
His heart was holding back too much turmoil. And that time, Harry laughed at her apology.
"Are you apologizing to me?" asked Harry, half doubtfully. He then looked at Aretta less seriously, "About what? About you who have hurt me or about you made it back into this city?"
"Harry, I..."
"You dare to call my name directly now? Where is the term 'Sir' that I often hear lately? Are we close enough?" asked Harry with sarcasm.
Aretta's face was instantly pale.
"I apologize for appearing as this and I apologize for all my mistakes in the past. I know I hurt you a lot. I've been pondering this for 4 years," Aretta finally admitted her mistake and expressed her apology.
Harry gave her a cold stare.
"Is that easy for you to apologize?" Harry said annoyed, "Even though at that time you were very aware when you made a mistake. Then now you say you've been contemplating it?"
Aretta fell silent.
Honestly, Aretta really regretted his mistake because for the past three years he had been walking around incoherently while looking for a job and kept her job.
Because during that time, with the power of Harry's family, Aretta was very difficult to find a permanent job.
She just managed to find a permanent job in Bali with the help of her relatives there. And finally met Mr. Robby who did not care about the influence and warnings that had been directed at him all this time.
Harry indeed did not order someone to make it difficult for Aretta wherever she was looking for work. But rumors of a woman blacklisted by Theodore's family have been heard by almost the entire state.
With just one word from Mrs. Theodore, Aretta had been in trouble for the past few years without them knowing.
Those hard times had made her depressed.
