Bed With In-laws
A cooperation

Zea ran small through the office corridor, after a call from Darion was cut off. His footsteps sounded heavy, like he was telling the people in the corridor about his mood. Some pairs of eyes do ignore it, but not with some others.

Arriving at the room at the end of the second floor corridor, he paused for a moment to take a deep breath, before he finally knocked on the door politely. A hoarse voice from a man rang out from behind the door, to give him permission to go inside.

“What do you need? Your heavy footsteps are clearly heard from sisni.” A young man is seen standing while holding a cell phone.

“Sorry about that, sir,” Zea responded guiltily to her reckless actions.

“But there is something important that I have to talk to you about,” continued Zea staring at the 30-year-old man.

The man who was called Mike turned around. His eyes stared at Zea. He was seen taking a deep breath, before finally sitting on the back of the sofa.

“Say!” firmly Mike.

“Last month the agenda of team 1 and team 2 has been set. I remember very well, it is claimed that I did not cooperate with the founder of Nesh, so why suddenly the Nesh party contacted me?”

Mike was silent for a moment. The pair of eyes were still staring at Zea stiffly, like there was something that made her do that to her subordinates. Zea was silent after saying that.

At first, Zea was always lazy to deal with Mike. Maybe because the man always gave him a sharp and stiff look, or it could be because of his rude attitude. Even if his salary was cut without notice, or a sudden schedule change like now.

But this time it looks different. Zea had gone to great lengths to gather her courage to come up to Mike and ask.

“Before you did not mind about the sudden transfer of the schedule.” Mike responded sharply as usual, leaving Zea almost speechless.

“Sorry, Sir. It's just, Mr. Darion Walter is an important businessman. It's too sudden to prepare everything.”

Mike suddenly got up from his seat saying, “This is NNC. You forgot?”

Zea did not forget. NNC is one of the highest rated television stations. They always present the event with good quality. But what does all this have to do with a sudden change in schedule?

Zea is still trying to understand Mike's words. But until the man walked up to him, he still could not figure it out.

“No matter you're on team one or team two. If there is a schedule split, both teams must prepare for everything possible, including schedule changes.” That's what Mike said in front of Zea.

After saying that, Mike bent his body slightly. Closer his lips to Zea's ears, so that the girl could hear him well.

“If you object, then protest from the beginning. Why did you just shut up and accept?” said Mike who then stood up straight again.

Again, Mike's words made him silent. But even so, everything Mike said was true. He should have been able to protest a long time ago, why only now? Is it because of that Darion, the father-in-law who last week spent a hot night with him?

The next day, a little nervous, Zea tried to contact Darion's company. Yeah, she contacted her company-in-law instead of contacting Darion directly like Darion did to her yesterday.

“Halo, I am Azalea Ottmar from NNC.” television station so the introduction was short when her phone call was successfully connected.

“There can I help?”

“Yes, it is related to the contract that Mr. Darion has signed regarding an interview with our broadcaster team. When can I discuss the topic of the material with Mr Darion?”

Silent, there was no response from Nesh's side when Zea finished conveying her intent and purpose. Until a split second passed, the woman who worked for Nesh gave an answer.

“Sorry, Mr. Darion's schedule today is very tight. We will contact you if you have found the right time.”

Zea could only understand the answer from Nesh's side at the time. After all, it is a risk if they have the resource persona of a successful businessman who hardly has time to discuss the material.

However, Zea still did not give up and waited just like that. He's still trying to get in touch with Nesh's side to meet with Darion. Again, he got the same answer.

Actually, he could have contacted Darion directly to ask for his schedule, because he already had his personal number. However, Zea prefers to run according to procedure by contacting Darion through his company. Eventually, he began to despair on the fifth day.

Zea was seen standing in front of a window in the emergency staircase area. His eyes focused on the ceiling while holding hands. I don't know what he was thinking at the time.

After taking a deep breath, he reached into his coat pocket. He picked up the phone, then started looking for something there. But it seemed he was not done with his business, until the phone he was holding suddenly rang.

“I heard, you were looking for me.” A man's heavy voice was very clear when Zea answered the phone call.

“When you have my personal number, why bother contacting the office?” continued.

Zea raised a slight corner of her lips while taking a deep breath. Regretting his silly deeds that waste a lot of precious time, just for the sake of personal feelings.

“True, why would I do that? Though the company does not care how I can contact the source.” that is Zea's answer.

“You've had lunch? Let's go to Victoria near your office. We can all discuss things you want to discuss.”

“You're near here?”

“No. But it didn't take me long to get there.”

Zea did not ask any further and immediately received an offer from Darion for lunch, as well as discussing several things related to Nesh's cooperation with the NNC.
