The image endured the pain in his groin area. Last night was very painful for him. Yoga really does violently like a man of doom. Indeed, usually he is also always in pain, but not as rough as last night.
He kept his footsteps from making people wonder, especially Lilis. Citra was not ready to be interviewed by her good friend. The atmosphere of the office at that time was quite quiet, it seemed like he was leaving too early in the morning.
Yoga apologized to him for last night. However, Citra had not yet fully wanted to forgive the man. As Yoga drove her to the office, she kept silent. I don't know what happened to her husband until the war changed.
"ah! Wait!" image when the elevator door is almost closed. He ran and managed to prevent the elevator door from closing. His groin was again painful as a result of being taken running. He bit his lips withstanding the painful sensation he felt.
"Are you okay?" ask a man with his baritone voice.
The image almost forgot if there was someone else in the elevator. "I'm fine." He tried to act ordinary.
He saw the figure of the man who was now in the same elevator as him. From his shiny shoes, black pants with neat suits that looked expensive. His body was tall and strong. As his eyes looked at the man's face, Citra gulped down her own saliva. The man was the husband of Retha, the woman he met at the hospital.
The image until stunned looking at him. It was like meeting an artist in person.
"Be careful your head can cramp if you look straight up" the man said.
The image immediately shifted its gaze. He was very embarrassed to have been caught admiring his face directly. "I'm sorry, sir," he said.
"What floor are you going to?" ask the man.
"Floor 10" Citra replied.
The elevator doors closed again after the man pushed the elevator button to their destination. When the elevator reaches the 10th floor, the door opens. The man came out. The image of thinking the man would stop on another floor, it turned out that the man also stopped on the same floor as him.
He was surprised, before Citra had never met the man. During his time there, he almost knew employees who worked on the 10th floor which was the division where he worked.
The image quickened its pace trailing the man from behind. It was even more surprising when the man entered his study. People were cheering and looking happy with the man's presence. Citra does not know that there will be new employees in its division.
"Dor!" The new Lilis came as a surprise to Citra. "Why are there rames in our office?" tanyanya.
"I don't know either, Lis. Just arrived too. There was a stranger in there."
"Oh, maybe a new CEO."
The image stared in wonder at Lilis. "new CEO?" tanyakanya.
"You don't know? Our long-lost manager has no news but is still safe. Until there is a leadership reshuffle, our CEO has been replaced. There will also be a caretaker manager to be placed in our division." Lilis was surprised by Citra who did not know the news even though every day with him.
Citra only had heard that its old manager suspected corruption so it was temporarily disabled. Based on rumors circulating as well, the old manager asked for money to prospective new employees for smooth recruitment even though the act was completely prohibited. He thought the man would come back and admit his mistake, but he ran away.
"Hurry in, yuk!" Lilis pulled Citra's hand to come in with her.
The presence of two handsome men horrendous the staff who were there. It has been a few weeks that the place was abandoned by its leader, now a fresh face appears that will color the working days of HRD staff. His men will surely work more diligently.
"My name is Hendry Adrian Alexander, 31,
who will occupy the position of the new HRD manager. Hopefully we can work well together and my leadership can be useful here." Through a small welcome made by the staff, Hendry officially became part of them.
"What do you want to ask?" Hendry smiled a smile.
"She's still single, isn't she?" ask her with a cute made-up tone.
Henry chuckled at such a question. The other staff were very beautiful.
"I'm married, my wife is also very beautiful. Please don't try to tempt me" replied Hendry.
Contact the female staff, especially those who are immediately limp. They think they will get a chance to mate with a handsome person in the office. It is like a new effort has been made heartbroken by the new manager.
Meanwhile, Bara who was standing in a corner not far from Hendry could only help but laugh. Hendry is indeed the type of man who does not like pleasantries and likes to break people's expectations.
"Well, Cit .. it's hard to find a mate. If you want the rich, handsome, established, usually already belongs to people. If this continues, when can I get a mate," Lilis wrestled spoiled to Citra.
"And there is still Akang Jaka, Lis ... he is faithfully waiting for you, loh ...." The image could not stand Lilis' teasing.
"Didih, you want to support me with Jaka? Iyuh .. he is not my level, yes .. mending I do not marry, deh ...." Lilis shuddered when she had to think about Jaka, the production staff who had expressed feelings for her several times. Indeed, they are one tribe. However, Jaka's style of village makes Lilis not like it.
"Why? He was a good man, loh .. from his face seemed faithful and loving. Rather than looking for a handsome one but having an affair, right?"
"You can talk like that because your husband is handsome. He is also loving, not stingy anymore. Perfect for your life, Cit!"
The look on Citra's face changed when Lilis mentioned the word perfection. In this world, nothing is perfect including his life. At first Citra also thought her household would be happy if they found a dream partner like Yoga. That man is handsome, the dream of women. Luckily, she got married to yoga.
However, perfection is only pseudo, limited to the image of others who do not feel it directly. The image experiences many sorrows that the perfect person sees. Until now she is not pregnant. Not to mention having a lot of demands in-laws, as well as a sister-in-law who likes to harass her family. Only the power of love still makes Citra want to survive.
"ah! Eum, sorry yes, Cit ...." Lilis realized that she had offended Citra unintentionally. His face showed regret.
The image tries to keep smiling. He knew that Lilis didn't mean to hurt his heart. "It's okay, Lis."
"Partner!" exclamation Irul.
Talks between Lilis and Citra stalled.
"You were told to go into Mr. Hendry's room."
