Chasing you with Pellets
17. Take Offering

It didn't take long for Aprilia to realize her wish of ousting Mia. Two days later Mia was asked to face the Personnel Manager. Mia who knew nothing seemed confused when a security man conveyed the message of the personnel manager to her.

"Mr Miaa ...!" call one of the factory security.

"Yes sir, what's up ?" mia asked as she approached.

"Called Mbak Personnel Manager" said the security.

"Lho, what's up ?" mia asked while furrowing her brows in confusion.

"I don't know either. But said Mr. Manager, Mbak can meet him later during the break. Now he has a guest in his room" said security.

"Oh that. Yes, thanks for the info, sir," said Mia with a smile.

"Sama-sama Ma'am. I roamed around again huh," said the security as he passed.

Mia nodded her head. For a while Mia was still standing while staring at the security's back that was getting away. After taking a deep breath, Mia resumed her work.

Just during the break Mia also met the Personnel Manager in her room. The fifty-year-old Manager seemed to smile at Mia's presence.

"Please enter ...," said the manager kindly.

"Thank you sir" said Mia with a smile.

After Mia sat in the guest chair, the manager explained her purpose of calling Mia into her room. Mia was surprised not to be upset when the manager said he was let go for an indefinite time alias fired. Even so surprised Mia was pecking with both eyes glaring and mouth gaping.

"Mrs ... Ms. Mia ..," call the personnel manager while patting Mia's arm a few times.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry sir. Was I wrong with ya. You said I was ... fired ?" mia asked after she managed to control herself.

"Not fired, but put away for an undetermined time" said the manager.

"That's the same sir," cut Mia fast.

"Yes too. Forgive me for not being able to help fight for your rights" said the manager.

"But why sir ?. What is my fault ?. It's not that I've always worked well. I almost never make a mistake or a fuss. My only mistake was that I got involved in breaking up the ruckus at the material cutting table the other day. Does this have something to do with the incident Mr ...?" ask Mia worriedly.

As the personnel manager nodded his head, Mia seemed to be sighing heavily while nodding her head to understand what was happening.

"Well sir, I understand," Mia said later.

The manager smiled wryly at Mia's words.

A moment later, Mia replaced the smiling wryly as the manager handed out a statement if Mia resigned from the company. Without wasting any time Mia signed the statement.

"Thank you for joining this company. Your contribution means a lot to Us. And here's a little severance pay for you. I added a little bit of My personal money as an expression of My gratitude because You didn't trouble Me" the manager said as he thrust out a thick envelope of money.

"Well, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work here. Now I say yes Mr. ..," said Mia while shaking the manager's hand.

The manager welcomed Mia's hand with a smile. In his heart he deeply regretted the decision of one of the important people in the company who wanted Mia to leave the company.

"This is how money and power speak. I'm sorry Mia. Hopefully you can get a better place to work out there" the manager murmured as the door closed.

Mia seemed to rush to the employee room. He packed up quickly and left the company. Mia left just like that and without saying goodbye. Of course it confused everyone who knew him well.

"Eat him do not macem-macem deh same I. Lo ...," inner Aprilia.

Mia's unilateral dismissal remains a secret. None of the factory employees knew what caused Mia's departure.

On the other hand, Ricki and Aprilia's change of status from superiors and subordinates to lovers did not surprise everyone. But without Aprilia and Ricki noticing, some people who knew them began to sniff out something unusual in their relationship.

How not. Almost everyone in the garment factory knew very well how Ricki's attitude in working. In addition to hardworking, Ricki is a person who has a high commitment and does not like to use the position for personal gain. But Ricki's attitude changed when dealing with Aprilia.

Ricki's great love in Aprilia caused the man to forget himself. Ricki is also often influenced by Aprilia's 'complaint' which feels zholimi by rival employees. Like that afternoon Aprilia again complained with the unfriendly attitude of Agnes.

"I'm seriously darling," whined Aprilia after telling her how Agnes had behaved to her.

"But as far as I am, he's not. He looks like a judge, but his heart is good" said Ricki trying to calm his lover.

"What the hell are you. So you don't trust me and belain him. It's because she's beautiful or because of her great position in the company ?" aprilia asked while looking at Ricki.

"What do you mean ?" ricki asked while stopping her work.

"Everyone knows that Agnes is beautiful, an office employee and several times elected as an exemplary employee as well. Come to think of it, too, said people. You are more worthy of pairing with Agnes than I am the only laborer in this factory" said Aprilia while putting on a sad face.

"Yes aampuunn .., why do you think so dear. I didn't mean anything when I was rich. And I don't think about him either. I just don't want you to fuss with Agnes because she's quite influential in the company. If you take a storm, who will be expelled yes You are not him. I'm not going to be away from you, so I said that. Because in addition to Agnes's big assets, she also has a fairly wide connection," said Ricki.

Ricki's remarks made Aprilia even more upset. He did not like it when Ricki praised the advantages of Agnes. Seeing the attitude of the lover who sulked, Ricki also smiled.

"Don't be angry again dong dear. All this time I've been helping you get rid of all your rivals" whispered Ricki as she hugged Aprilia from behind.

Aprilia laughed at Ricki's words. He knew Ricki had helped get rid of Mia and some people he had problems with first. Then Aprilia turned around until her position is now directly faced with Ricki.

"I know. Thanks ...," said Aprilia and hugged Ricki tightly.

In the corner of the room a creepy creature was seen standing while observing Aprilia and Ricki intensely. Aprilia who had gotten used to her presence seemed calm. The girl even smiled while reciting the spell again in the heart.

The creature smiled in satisfaction as Aprilia cast a spell. His figure slowly faded and turned into a thin smoke that slipped into Ricki's body through the ear hole.

When the creature's thin smoke entered his body, Ricki seemed to twitch for a moment. Aprilia broke her embrace and stared fixedly at Ricki's face.

"Why are you, honey, sick ?. How are you really so good ?" tanya Aprilia pretended to be anxious.

"Ga really. I'm fine" said Ricki, grimacing with pain.

"What is gapapa ?" aprilia asked while helping Ricki sit down.

"Yes" said Ricki.

Aprilia held her breath as she saw thin smoke coming out of Ricki's ear. A moment later the thin smoke again incarnated into the figure of a woman in a white dress and creepy face.

Aprilia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the bloodstains on the woman's mouth. Because it means the guardian of the science of the legacy of the Mama has just enjoyed the offerings taken directly from inside Ricki's body.
