Attract Attention


"How did it go?"


The question came out of Argan's mouth when he saw Dimas enter his room with a brown map in his hand.


"Walking smoothly," Dimas answered briefly, his legs swinging toward Argan's desk and then placed the map he was carrying there. "But, it would be much smoother if you had just participated in the meeting earlier," he continued


"Sorry, I just don't want me to mess up the meeting" Argan said


Hearing Argan's reply made Dimas' eyebrows rise up next. "Why? Do you have a problem?" tannya


Argan put his shoulder confused as to what to answer his best friend's question because honestly he himself was confused by what happened to him.


"Alright, you're not ready to tell me the same story, it's okay." Despite knowing the turmoil of his best friend but Dimas decided to shut up and wait until the man in a white shirt started his own story.


There was no sound after they returned to work to discuss the cooperation papers agreed during the meeting, until Argan suddenly jumped from his seat when Dimas hit the table and exclaimed.


"Gosh, I almost forgot" he exclaimed, his eyes squinting while pointing at Argan's face to make his boss rewind his chair


"What lo?" tanya Argan hit Dimas' hand


"No need to pretend to bego lo" said Dimas


"It's not polite to be the boss." Unable to accept because dikatai 'bego' by Dimas reflex makes Argan stand while racking his waist.


Dimas did not care, if he had thought to be quiet and wait for Argan's openness, then different from now. The man who liked the type of adult woman snorted did not hesitate to hit Argan's shoulder did not heed the ringing of a boss that he should respect.


It had been a few days that a question lingered in his head but because of the busyness made him forget what he should ask directly to the concerned.


"Have any grudges are you the same as me, huh?" todong Argan because Dimas still hit him


"Yes, I have a very similar grudge," said Dimas, "Till your heart rejects me and choose a path with the girl."


"Huh?"


"But, you gercep too yeah?"


"To the point, don't beat around the bush, do I want to fire?"


Dimas screeched then tidied up his shirt and then restored his messy hair because it had been pulled by Argan.


That's how they are, there is no status of boss and employees if they are only two and do not care still in the office area.


"Pantes you just frown while at the cafe, it turns out that girl mastermind?"


Argan's forehead is contorted not to understand what Dimas meant. "Gue already said, speaking to the point, I don't like twirling makes dizzy" he said


"Night Monday, where were you?"


"At home."


"Lie"


"Why the hell do you?, like a pms girl you know?" Argan shudders at his place looking at Dimas's sudden behavior of acting like a possessive girl


"No, I'm still normal." Understood with Argan's mind finally Dimas returned to his serious mode.


...Sighing in relief, Argan sat back in his seat of pride as Dimas also sat in his place, still no shadow about the intent of Dimas' actions to call him a liar ...


"What do you really mean?" ask Argan slowly


"The girl you accompanied to Gramedia a few days ago was that intern, right?" todong Dimas was impatient


"Lo see?" Not wanting to be evasive, after hearing Dimas's answer to his question, Argan finally confessed.


He took a deep breath and let out of his mouth, there was nothing he needed to hide from Dimas now, and Grey's problem that he didn't want his background to know, Argan just needed to shut Dimas up, and he knew that his best friend could hold a secret.


There was nothing he could subtract from his story of who Grey was to his confusion for days in addressing his feelings for the girl.


Grey did not fit the criteria of the girl he liked all this time, but since a few months in one house with the girl made her typis shifted.


Gradually he realized that his feelings were now closer to his feelings of liking, no longer because of the responsibility ordered by both parents to always make the girl happy either at home or at the office but now changed because she did not want to see the displeasure of the girl the girl he called gray. He is happy if the girl is happy especially because of it.


"What?"


"Lo likes the girl, because there's no way a CoreId Corp boss would want to hold an intern and wait for her in the UKS."


"Mistake no mistake and not entirely true." pinned his backrest on the chair then wiggled it to the right and to the left.


"I wasn't sure when I liked it, and I did it purely because of my parents" he continued


"It's no wonder you like him,"


"Why?"


"From the many interns in this office, only he who I think has the attraction, according to your words he is different."


Argan smiled thinly pleased with the opinion of his best friend, but not for a long time suddenly his eyes bulged when Dimas made a sound.


"Gue just likes her."


"WHAT?"


***


Almost a month Grey dedicated himself in a company owned by Raufan Dyantara, not just doing his job as an intern, but not infrequently also he accompanied the head of the division to attend regular meetings conducted by the company.


So far he has worked and studied well especially Fathir who always helps him, when the work given by his senior is finished he will take the time to help others.


He is skilled and deft therefore so far he likes what his activities are.


"Grey?"


"You're busy, aren't you?"


Grey shook his head in response.


"Please dong, you go down and copy these files!" the senior named Farah


"Everything?" tanya Grey made sure the article the file was designated by Farah was not like a file but a thick book.


"Yes, why? you don't want to?"


"No, Ma'am, I want to" he said, taking two books that Farah said were important files.


Only a few steps did Grey leave his desk but turned back as Farah called out to him.


"Remember, this is an important file do not come back before everything is finished in the copy!" swapped and embraced by Grey


With her sense of confusion Grey walked through the corridor and entered the elevator all the way to the first floor, this was the first time Farah who was one of the seniors in her division had asked her to speak, and now the woman who had the body of the model spoke to him and even told him to.


There was nothing wrong with what his senior told him to do, but what puzzled him was what was in his hands, this is not a company file but a book that has nothing to do with the company.


"Why did he tell me to make this copy?" his monologue flipped through the book in his hand


A book that had the grand title of 'How to attract the attention of a niggling guy' made Grey shudder as he read it.


Gosh wants it to feel like Grey is back in his room and rejecting orders from Farah, this is not his job even this is not the division's needs but the needs of women who are five years older than him.


"How to attract the attention of a cute guy"


Grey flinched and accidentally dropped the book in his hand, he was now walking towards the photo copy and did not see if Argan was behind him.


Argan chuckles in dismay as Grey quickly picks up the item and holds it in front of his chest.


The man who had just arrived at the office from his lunch outside bowed his body and then brought his face closer beside Grey's face. "Who wants to get whose attention?" whispered


Impulsively Grey took a step back from feeling uncomfortable and insecure, he turned to the left and to the right to make sure that what his boss was doing would not attract the attention of the office occupants.


But, he was wrong. Not only is it a matter of attention even some are already whispering, whether what they say with eyes that highlight it.


"Sorry sir, I have to go."
