Fero asks Celina to keep their conversation about Andares disease a secret. Celina also felt that it was not the thing that she deserved to spread everywhere.
After returning to the office with her boss's Americano, Celina asks for permission to go home early. He had to find a new rented house because his stay in the office dormitory was almost over.
However, when revealing the reason, Andares did not give him permission. He kept giving him jobs that made him have to be overtime.
“Hish, did he deliberately take revenge on me?” grouse Celina.
Andares makes Celina have to work until ten o'clock at night. The attitude he showed Celina was getting colder after the rejection that girl had done.
Actually, ever since Celina found out what illness Andares suffered, Celina's feelings turned uncomfortable. He had thought to receive ‘pinangan’ Andares. But he quickly straightened his mind.
“Lu is crazy, Celina!” celina said to herself.
The clock on the wall of his room had already pointed to the number 10.30 at night. Celina tidied up all the files that were still scattered on her desk. His body is very tired. He has also not sought a contract for his residence.
Celina took her phone, and called her sister Melani. Celina reports that she has not been able to find a contract that day, and will pass it tomorrow.
“Alright, you just sleep at Auntie's house in Dutu” concluded Celina while hanging up the phone.
He moved out of his room. The atmosphere of the office was very quiet and dark. Fortunately Celina is a girl who has no fear about ghosts and the like.
He was waiting for the elevator to go down to the ground floor. That night Aksa offered to pick her up. Of course the offer was welcomed by Celina, because she did not have to walk to the office dormitory which was actually not far from the main building. Plus he plans to take Aksa for food because he is suddenly hungry.
But once the elevator opened, she was pulled by someone who made Celina shout loudly. When he tried to struggle to escape, the man smothered his mouth and told him to shut up.
“Sstt, it's me!” whispered the one who was none other than Andares.
Once she knew that the person was her boss, Celina stopped moving for the Andares to immediately release her body.
“This father why? Why is it suddenly pulling and smothering me like that?” shouted Celina annoyed.
“I'm sorry, but can you help me?” andares.
Celina had not yet opened her mouth to answer the question, Andares had already landed her lips on Celina's lips. He also held Celina's hand so as not to be able to escape from her kiss. Getting such treatment, Celina automatically back thrashed and tried to break away, but she failed, Andares was too strong.
After holding back for a few minutes, Andares finally released Celina's almost out of breath.
But there is something different about Andares. After releasing Celina, her facial expression turned into bewilderment and shock. He left Celina who still did not understand what happened to her that night.
Celina rushed down and approached Aksa's parked car in front of the building.
“Tumben overtime!” aksa said while tidying up some of the items scattered in his car.
“Iya” reply Celina short.
“Oya, I've got a job!” aksa.
“Oya, where?” ask Celina.
“There's deh.”
Celina did not reply anymore. His mind was unfocused as it was still fixated on Andares' attitude which left him in shock. While Aksa who saw her best friend was a little strange and reserved, did not dare to ask further because she felt Celina was still thinking about her failed engagement.
Finally after going around looking for food, Celina returned to the office dormitory and fell asleep with the office clothes still attached to her body.

"China!!" farah shouted suddenly from the corridor of the office bathroom.
"What's up, Far? Don't yell at the office" Riana replied, she had just walked out of the elevator on her office floor.
"You already know that today from our division someone will be fired!” said Farah with a lowered voice.
"Huh, who? Know where?"ask Celina.
"I don't know, it was just right in the toilet I heard someone else talking about it" replied Celina.
Without a second thought Celina immediately ran to meet Fiona, the person who knew for sure who the employee meant Farah.
But just as Celina stepped in search of Fiona's whereabouts, she was instead intercepted by several other female employees at the end of the corridor.
"Go away, I'm going through!" exclaim Celina without babibu again.
"Gue there's no time for your babbling, step aside!!!"
Stefani, one of the weakest-looking girls among the three, thrust out a mobile phone with a chat room open on her screen.
Celina took the phone and read it. It didn't take long until Stefani took the phone back and the three left Celina with a small, almost inaudible swearing.
As soon as Celina sat down, her body went limp, it even felt like she was paralyzed after reading what was on Stefani's phone.
"What does it mean." said Celina Lirih.
"..why am I gonna get fired.."

While outside was excited by the news of Celina's dismissal spreading rapidly like a virus, inside Fiona's room seemed like another story. It was so quiet as if nothing had happened.
Celina regained her senses and rushed to find Fiona to find out what had happened. And after searching for Fiona for approximately twenty minutes, Celina finally met Fiona in the front corridor of the meeting room on the 19th floor.
"Celina, meet me for a second in the meeting room"
Riana's heart throbbed unnoticed, in her brain stupefied that today was her last day at the office. But why, how can. The thought continued to shadow Celina as she walked towards the space in question.
"Cel, you heard the news, right?" fiona said softly.
"Honest already, but I'm confused, brother. I don't know why such rumors could arise" said Celina, who couldn't cover her voice that was shaking as she held back tears from breaking.
Fiona let out a short breath.
"Cel, I'm going straight away. Someone reported to me, that you helped one of our clients to cancel a cooperation contract with our office.sama one of our office employees.." Fiona paused her speech while looking at the reaction of Celina who started to fail to hold back her tear breakthrough.
"..and for that matter, it seems I have to lay off you in order to maintain the continuity of our corporate cooperation" Fiona continued.
Hearing that, Celina's heart stopped beating. Even now her tears had flooded her smooth and white cheeks.
"Sister, I can't possibly do that. And I don't know why anyone would make rumors and slanders like this" Celina explained while still sobbing.
"Some of you saw you coming out of a hotel room at 5am with one of our clients. And sorry to say, even this guy took a picture of you two" Fiona explained.
Celina's brain tries to think, but has not yet got the answer, Fiona thrusts her phone towards Celina.
Deg
Celina fell silent, as she recognized who the man in the photo was.
"Gosh, this is a misunderstanding, brother. We have nothing to do but work professionals, let alone lead to it" Celina explained.
"Okay, I'll try to listen to what you're going to explain." said Fiona.
"We did meet at 5 a.m., brother. At that time Farah had to immediately give important files to our client, but she could not meet in person because her mother suddenly got sick, and Farah asked me to help anther the file" Celina tried to explain, now her sobs had subsided even though her voice was still shaking. She's very nervous.
Before Fiona opened her mouth, Celina seemed to be able to read what Fiona was going to tell her.
"This, Brother. I had a proof of chat from Farah at that time" Riana said as she gave her phone to Farah.
And now Fiona is speechless. Without speaking, Fiona grabs Celina's phone and sees the chat in question, along with her timed caption.
"But Cel, if indeed you met to hand over the file, why are you only wearing a nightgown. And again, with just this chat, we don't know what's going on in that hotel room. I'm not doubting you, but.." Fiona's voice choked a little.
".. actually it does not matter if people want to go to a hotel or how, it is their right as long as they are old enough. But since this has been spread out in the office with indications that you are helping clients cancel contracts, I can't stand by, Cel” said Fiona.
"I didn't get to change clothes, brother. Because our client is in a hurry to catch a plane. I beg you, Brother.”
Brakkk
Suddenly the door of the meeting room opened with a loud voice, accompanied by someone who passed through the door.
"Celina, you come with me now !!" said the man in a high tone.
"Sir Andares.."
