Call Me a Rose
Chapter 9

The rose walked hurriedly towards the pantry. Today he arrived late and felt he was not well. But not until his foot was on the pantry, someone had already greeted him with a sinister annoyed face.

"Heh, where have you been? The new boy had dared to come too late!" Mona stared at the Rose from head to toe with a cynical look.

"Sorry Ma'am Mona, yesterday I was late until night, the next morning I felt a bit dizzy so I was late to the office", replied Rose honestly.

"Sorry.sorry! It's so nice to say sorry! Look at our work as hareg-abreg like this today, you even casually come late! I don't want to know, now you have to sort everything out. Wash all the glasses in the sink, then clean the meeting room before 10! Later the room will be used for meetings, I do not want to anymore ya diomelin Bu Lastri or other employees, do you know?", Mona's scolding at length.

"Yes mbak, later I will do as I can", said the Rose resignedly.

"Don't just do what you can, do it seriously and as much as possible, I don't want your kingdom to be careless!"

"Yes, um..."

"Yes, I just have coffee first, I've checked your work, beware if something is not right!"

"Yes, Mona is fierce!"

Mona grinned annoyedly, but soon passed because she did not want to prolong the conversation that would only upset her. This new kid really needs to be taught a lesson. How thought.

Meanwhile the Roses can breathe a sigh of relief, once Mona leaves them. Unfortunately for her fate, it has been stolen yesterday Diara, now she is still bullied Mona. The rose sat down for a moment to normalize its hunting breath. It turns out it is not easy to be an office girl, even though she has lived it as casually as possible.

No, Roses never took Mona's mistreatment seriously. To the Rose the attitude of Mona just looks very childish. Roses were comforted when he argued with Mona and managed to make Mona feel upset. There is a satisfaction he feels when Mona feels arrogant and runs out of patience when dealing with it. For him the problem is quite complicated, no need to add to think about unimportant conflicts.

After feeling well rested, Roses then do the task given by Mona. His acting certainly has to convince the people around him not to suspect. But just a moment to wash the glass, his head feels dizzy. The rose then sat back down while massaging his head. Out of nowhere, Farid suddenly stood by him and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's the Rose?"

"Eh Mas Farid, no papa, this is another break for a while to wash the glass..."

"You're pale in the face, are you sick?"

"Not really Mas Farid, just a little dizziness, usually a short rest also healed..."

"You rest first, sleep in the side room, I'll make you some warm tea..."

"Wah can not Mas, my work a lot, later can not be finished if I mostly rest, later Ma'am Mona can be angry Mas"

While diving drink water. Roses are not that stupid. He spoke so to get a defense from Farid that would definitely make Mona even more of a beard fire.

"Don't think about your job if you're sick. Your health remains primary. Later let me allow Miss Lastri if you are sick. No need to be too afraid of Mona, she's also OG just like us..."

"Yes, thank you so much..."

The rose can relax a little. Although only a thin carpet, at least the Rose can lay down his body. Last night he was busy discussing Gunawan's case with Diara. Although still wearing OG oversized clothes, Diara recklessly kept him in his room because he did not want to overtime alone.

Not long after, Farid came with some warm tea, some bread and snacks, as well as a headache remedy.

"Thank you so much Farid, sorry to be such a hassle..."

The rose that had not had breakfast this morning, directly devoured the bread and some biscuits given Farid. A glass of warm tea is also directly toilet in a moment.

Farid involuntarily smiled as he watched the Rose. The giving is very simple and the price is not much, but seeing the Rose enjoyed it very much, his heart became warm.

"I live first yes, you rest first here, later I help you say if you want to ask permission Bu Lastri..."

"Yes, thank you so much again..."

But then it was only a moment when Farid left him alone that someone had approached him with a face ready to pounce.

"Roses, what is the duty I give you? Did everything go wrong?", Mona spoke while holding back angrily.

"Not yet, but my head is dizzy, so I rest for a while.", replied the Rose with a pretended innocent expression.

"That's why! It's so good to just work for a while already relaxing like this!"

"But I was really dizzy earlier..."

"I don't want to know, anyway now you have to finish your job and have to finish on time, don't relax again because later I will come to check again, understand?"

"Suggest mbak..."

The rose can only resign and is ready to do its job again. After all the dizziness had gone and the Rose felt much better. But then from the direction of the Rose corridor could hear the commotion.

"Don't worry about your senior being able to act like a whole lot of people like Mona!"

It was clearly Farid's voice, although not long ago the Rose had memorized it out of his head.

"I just told him to do his job, why the hell Mas Farid is so attentive and always defending the Rose?"

"But he is ill, it is appropriate that he be granted a leniency to rest for a while..."

"It's not my fault, she herself agreed to work on it!"

"Mona! I heard yourself you kept telling him to do this and that, even you threatened everything!"

Hearing that Mona simply bowed with reddened eyes holding back tears. Meanwhile, their comrades unwittingly began to swarm over hearing this commotion. And instead of breaking up, they deliberately watch and kepo with the feud that occurred.

"If you are not able to do your duty, let me do it, but do not act arbitrarily to the Rose!"

After saying that, Farid immediately left Mona.

While Mona immediately went to the bathroom and broke her crying there. His pride was really hurt, he who had known Farid first had to be willing to be defeated by new people like the Roses who were a village. Even Farid was willing to scold her for the sake of defending the woman.

Meanwhile, in the OG and OB neighborhoods, even to employees in other parts, gossip quickly spread. Gossip about the love triangle between Farid, Roses, and Mona that almost caused bloodshed.

Roses certainly also heard about the rumors. But Roses chose to be naive by pretending to know nothing and doing his job as usual. A moment of Rose laughed at her victory, but somehow Mawar secretly felt sorry for Mona.
