CEO Takluk
Chapter 14 Issue
Herlambang carried a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand, and his right hand carried a goodie bag of food. Not knowing why, after Maghrib, the man brought a bouquet and food to Cassandra's apartment. Arriving at the elevator door, the man immediately pressed a button towards the room occupied by the girl. Not long after, being alone in the elevator, the man quickly reached the floor where Cassandra's room was.
"Title..." Herlambang pressed the entry button of the room. For a while the man waited at the door, and while waiting for the door to open, Herlambang kissed the top dress he was wearing.
"Thank God it's still fragrant." murmured Herlambang speak for himself.
Not long after, the door was opened from the inside, and Cassandra who was wearing casual clothes opened the door wider. Looking at Herlambang who was in front of the door of her room, the girl frowned. Cassandra felt she had not made an appointment with the man.
"Mas Herlam. tumben once, nights until here mas. We don't have any appointments to meet, do we..?" feeling no promise, Cassandra innocently asked the man.
"We do not have the promise of Sandra. just happened to pass in the complex area here, while looking for reference books for the completion of my studies. Look at the florist, I was thinking if your room is too crisp for a girl's room size, so I brought fresh flowers here. It can be quite soothing to the eyes.." with a smile, Herlambang responded to Cassandra's words, saying,
"Oh that's it. yeah it's in. mas.." Cassandra immediately opened the door wide, and propped the door so as not to open it herself. Being in a big city by herself, the girl thought about acting more carefully. Although it has been several times, having a meeting with the man in front of him, but he did not know the ins and outs of Herlambang.
Herlambang smiled and followed the girl into the apartment room. No questions came out of the man's lips, seeing Cassandra hold the door open. As a man from Java, who knew adab and politeness, Herlambang could accept the actions taken by Cassandra.
"There's a Sandr plate. If you have any, take it. Coincidentally I also brought Pacenongan martabak, we can eat together." while sitting on the sofa, Herlambang asked Cassandra to take a plate.
"Don't get it wrong.. Sandra came in here very grateful. No need to prepare any equipment, all is complete is available, just use it." Cassandra walked away from Herlambang to the pantry.
A while in the pantry, Cassandra made one small teapot of hot sweet tea, and two empty cups in a tray. The girl brought a look to the table, and Herlambang took the tray from Cassandra's hand. Without speaking, the girl went back inside the pantry, then picked up a large plate, two cups and a fork, and took the,. Not long after, Cassandra returned to accompany Herlambang on the sofa.
"Ga there's Sandr's work.it looks relaxed tonight.." Herlambang opened the conversation while putting a fork containing a martabak piece into his mouth.
"There is no mas.. Sandra always tries not to bring work home. All Sandra had done in the office, so when at home, I was full of rest." the girl responded to Herlambang's question, while occasionally sipping warm tea straight from her cup.
"Good is Sandr.., you have principles. It is only necessary that Istiqomah keep it so that it does not disappear." said the man.
Two young people of different types were talking until nine at night. They talked about the study of the man, and the obstacles faced by Herlambang. Cassandra promises to help Herlambang complete her script, and the man agrees. Because the time was nine, in honor of Cassandra, Herlambang pampit came home to maintain the girl's privacy.

Cassandra felt confused when she reached the lobby, again the girl felt the cynical gaze of the other employees. Though the last few days, they seemed to have been able to accept the presence of the girl in the company. But this time, there was again a rumble aimed at the girl.
"Know us as employees.don't like to drop friends. Being in the top position, just turning off another friend." heard a speech with a tone of sarcasm behind Cassandra.
Cassandra who was walking towards the elevator door fell silent and paused for a moment, but feeling that there was no benefit in hearing the talk, the girl continued walking.
"Yes.it could interfere with the work of senior employees. What his job as, why smart ass highlights and advises the work of other Divisions.. Find a real face anyway.." again sounding scorn from behind him.
"Hmmm.so executive secretary can indeed be a shortcut anyway. Especially easily, have the opportunity to climb the leader's bed. Denger-denger already got apartment facilities again.. Long been an employee. boro-boro apartment, the boarding house is not facilitated." hearing the position of his job called, Cassandra stopped the step and then turned back.
The employees who were talking about Cassandra were surprised, they did not expect the courage of the girl to look at them with a defiant look. Instantly they became nervous, and looked at each other with eyes. Without fear, Cassandra walked up to the four employees who had talked about her since. From the front of the lobby, security just looked from afar not daring to approach those people.
"So I heard something about my position in the company. Do you envy, or have any aspirations to occupy that position but not deliverance.so until your heart speaks it behind my back..?" with a cynical smile, Cassandra asked those people. The girl circulated the sight looking one by one into the eyes of the four people who had since insinuated her behind.
"Remember mbak. if you do not want to be the talk of other employees, act reasonably. Don't like to take others down." Suddenly one of them dares to answer Cassandra's words.
"I dropped someone else..?" Cassandra asked, pointing at herself.
"Bring now also the person who feels I dropped, in what forum, and where. If you can't show me the guy, I can do the subpoena on you. Be careful in speaking, who mentioned.." with a flat expression, Cassandra asked again.
Seeing the girl's courage, the employees became shocked, and grew nervous. Actually they do not hear themselves, just steal the hearing from the talk of other employees.
"Let's say who feels like I'm dropping. We tabbayun.confirm..let there be no lie between us.' with a smile, Cassandra again asked for clarity.
The more stared at by Cassandra, the more nervous the employees became. They are speechless, and no one wants to start a conversation. Some time Cassandra waited for an explanation from the men, because there was no response finally the girl left them.
"Okay.I don't like looking for a commotion, nor will I prolong the trouble. But remember, if next time I hear a bad talk about me, which has no basis, then remember the law that will speak. There will be a message for you.." While walking and waiting for the elevator, Cassandra made her affirmation.
