Cigarette smoke billows in the smoking area which is not so far away from the restaurant. From that area, hotel visitors can see the swimming pool on the ground floor. Suci is smoking his first cigarette today.
Saints are still very upset by what he saw last night. His frustration is not only because he knows their relationship and interaction but the fact that he can't do anything about it either.
Unlike the men he likes or who are currently dating, Arya is of course on a different level. The man had his own position and was not an indiscriminate person whom the Saints could control.
“Job. Heh. I guess in plain and coarse. Turns out he's sneaky too. Who her? Just an intern but dare to tease Mr. Arya. If not with his body, how is it possible?”, Suci took the first suction of his cigarette and exhaled it into the air.
The puff of cigarette smoke disguised the arrival of Bryan who approached the Saints.
“Why you? From yesterday it seems like your mood is not good. Ever since I saw you in the lobby last night.”, asked Bryan who also took his pack of cigarettes and caught up with Suci in the morning routine he had just been in.
“What do you care?”, replied the cynical Saint.
“You, what's the problem with Dinda? I see you continue to look at him with an unpleasant gaze.”, instead of answering the Holy question, Bryan actually opened the most sensitive topic for Saints at this time.
“Why? You don't like it? Are you also starting to get interested in him? Why anyway? Did he also give his body to you?”, said the Saint in a defiant tone.
“Hush... What - what the hell are you?”, Bryan immediately looked to the right and to the left to make sure no one was listening to the Sacred Way.
“Originally you know, Dinda is not as good as you think. He is CHEAP.”, said Suci while playing his finger that was holding a cigarette in front of Bryan's face because of annoyance.
“Hey, lower your voice. You why?”, said Bryan trying to calm Saints.
Fortunately, there were no people in their office there. If anything, they smoke in a position that is still far from the Holy Place and Bryan at this time.
“You ask, what happened to me yesterday? I saw Dinda come out of Mr. Arya's room last night.”, replied Suci.
Bryan did not give a meaningful reaction. This certainly made Saints suspicious. She was an intelligent girl who could quite understand one's expression.
“What is this? Looks like you weren't surprised by my statement just now.”
“Then why?”, said Bryan finally gave a response.
“Then why, you said? Don't don't you know they have a relationship? Dinda came out of Mr. Arya's room at 1pm, they must have slept together. And last night was definitely not the first.”, said Suci in a quiet voice as Bryan had warned him earlier. However, despite his tone slowly, Suci still put emphasis - emphasis on each word because of his emotions.
“Maybe he just needs to talk about something.”
“What? I'm not stupid. Talking about something until it has to be in Pak Arya's room until 1 pm? He kissed her, Bryan!.”
“Pak Arya and Dinda are dating.”, Bryan finally tells Suci what he already knows.
“Hah!.. Not likely. Mr Arya? At least Mr Arya who I know is logical, intelligent, and classy dating with rich afternoon yesterday Dinda? Hah.. hard to believe.”
“You ask yourself if you don't believe.”
“Ask Who?”
“Pak Arya.”, replied Bryan.
Suci sucked back her cigarette and turned her back to Bryan while looking towards the swimming pool. He thought for a moment. Not long after she turned her body back to Bryan.
“Since when did you know they were dating?”
“Some time ago. I accidentally saw them both.”
“Di?”
“I don't think I need to explain that.”, Bryan said.
“You still defend that cheap girl?”, said the Holy then.
“He is not cheap.”
“Hah? What is his name if not cheap. He slept with Bry the same Mr. Arya. And if Dinda dares to sleep together even when the Building team is like this, I'm sure it's not the first time. Oh ****! I don't want to admit this but Dinda must have slept with Mr. Arya before. Well. and who knows, maybe before Mr. Arya he also slept with another man. Very kind and humble outside but ***** inside.”, Suci is unrelenting - hentinya issued words - rant for Dinda.
Whereas, if you turn back the clock when Dinda first entered and Saints are still stationed in the Aryan division, they are very familiar. Saints who incidentally have a higher position than Dinda chose to befriend the girl.
“You said as if you weren't like that. At least if you consider Dinda as a friend, you doubt Mr. Arya who might only use Dinda. I was so when I first found out they were in a relationship. You forgot how we knew and became friends with Dinda? Are you acting like that to the people closest to you?”, Bryan said.
“OK, you are indeed amazed and like Mr Arya, but you know how gossip about him? A few months ago I still saw her in bars with women. And now that you see the two of them, you immediately glorify Mr. Arya and even consider Dinda low when the hell was Dinda ever behaved badly?”, continued Bryan.

“For everything.. Morning Mr. Arya, Mr./Mother Tim Leader, Manager Business Partners and Mr. Erick from Digital and Developments, Friends - friends all. Hopefully everyone has breakfast.”, said Siska representing the committee to open the Team Building event today.
“Perhaps before I start our building team agenda today, I invite Mr. Arya to say a word two first.”, Siska invites Arya to move forward.
Currently, all employees both in the Business and Partners and Digital and Development divisions have gathered in the area around the hotel which is quite spacious. Several buses, cars and motorcycles and bicycles are already parked around the hotel. The employees have been asking questions from earlier while whispering. They are confused why there are different vehicles around them at this time.
“Thanks made his participation almost 100% at this year's Team Building event. I hope you can get that percentage for every project as well. Just kidding, anyway. I just want to say thanks to the committee who has been struggling to hold this building team. I know you guys would hate me so much because there are some activities that I removed from the proposal that you guys give.”
“I just want to say I consider the health and safety of all employees, not just young employees. So, that’s why there are some activities that I do not agree with. And for all employees, I hope you all enjoy undergoing a series of our team building events.”, continued Arya again and then shifted back to her original position.
“Okay, Thank you Mr. Arya. To save time, I went straight to explain our team building agenda today. So, today's theme is ‘Beach’ or ‘Pantai’, friends will visit 3-4 beaches in Lombok. Each beach has its own mission. Friends will leave with the team that was in the split yesterday. Each new team can leave for the next beach after successfully completing the mission. The team that can visit the most beaches will win.”, explained Siska began to explain the rules of the game today.
“Of course, friends will get different transportation to go to each beach. Now, I ask the team leader to move forward.”, continued Siska.
All team leaders move forward. For Dinda's team, James who is the leader of team 4 advanced. For Team Arya, Susan is the chairman. Then, it looks Erick and Rini progressing as chairmen in their respective teams along with two other chairmen.
Arya glanced at Dinda for a moment. The girl looked very enthusiastic but was a little awkward as there didn't seem to be many employees she knew on her team. It was eager for him to use his power to move the girl into his team.
Even so, at least Arya can be a little relieved because he has crossed out some activities or provisions arranged by the committee. He knew Siska and the committee team were already very upset with him because he made a last minute change, but Arya did not care.

“Oh. You are Dinda, yes. Yeah.yes.. I heard from Wawan earlier that you have helped him improve his report. Internal huh? In college where?”, a fairly aged employee asked Dinda.
Long story short, Dinda's team was very lucky in the first step. Their chairman managed to get ‘Bus’ as their transportation in the draw earlier. Yes, the selection of the mode of transportation used is determined by lottery. Each team leader just took the paper in a bottle with his eyes closed. The first step is determined by each luck.
“Iya, Sir. It's been 6 months internal. He studied at University X. Just graduated..bla bla bla.”, Dinda answered questions - questions addressed to her. In this team of 15 people, there were only 3 women. One person was already old, and another was about the same age as Dinda but a little tomboyish.
More attention is on him because the other employees are mostly from Business and Partners and already know each other.
“Keren Babe I am, do not care how angry Mr. Arya because the team leader he even got a bike.”, he, wawan chirps who still occasionally laughs imagine Pak Arya and his team must ride a bicycle to the beach.
“Can - can they until tomorrow morning.”
“Thankfully the one who withdrew the draw was not Mr. Arya. Our boss is lucky. If he were to unplug earlier, surely, this bus has drifted to his team he.”
On the other side…..
“Wah... You've used all your luck huh? Until you get a.” bike, joked someone on the Business and Partners team at their chairman.
“Crazy... not only awkward, but also make cold heat. No serious team with Mr. Arya.”, Andra whispered to Delina and the others.
“But, Mr. Arya when viewed from a very close handsome, yes. Aseli, I do not say - ngatain Suci again deh. He has reason to like Mr. Arya. Athletic body, high stature, smart anyway, wuahh complete package.”, said Delina who is rarely at a close distance like this.
Even Delina had never interacted at all with Mr. Arya because her work more demanding she sit down and write a report.
“Yeah, another word answered yes. You've been magic too, Del. Look at the Holy, Nempellll mulu same Mr. Arya. Already rich in glue, know not.”, chirped Andra. Of course still with a slow tone because he felt insecure if his words until sound Arya.
“But the power from earlier Mr. Arya keep the distance. Poor Sacred.”
“That's a consequence for a girl who is unconscious - conscious has been rejected. Sacred, mental steel indeed.”
“Guys, if we use a bicycle, we will be there until tomorrow morning. Sis, I can rent a bus using my credit card, right?”, said Arya asked Siska as a committee.
“Of course, Mr. Arya. But according to the rules, the arrangement process is done by the team itself.”, Siska said while hiding her smile. He really felt he had avenged his revenge on Arya who had messed up the series of team building events today by removing some exciting activities.
“Ci, please in the bus rental range yes.”, said Arya directly ruled Suci.
Only the Aryan team is left in the hotel grounds waiting for their charter bus to arrive. Teams using buses, cars and motorcycles have already left first.
EPILOGUE
“Halo, Siska? Can you assemble the Building team committee? Let's discuss for a moment. I wait in the lower lobby, yes.”, Arya said at 4 p.m., to her secretary who is also the committee of the Building team.
“Eh? Hello.”, Siska was still half conscious when Arya contacted her just now.
Siska even had to send a message to Mr. Arya because he could not connect with the orders of Mr. Arya at all.
‘Is he crazy? Why to Lombok also he must complicate my life. Arghghghhh Mr. Arya, if not for the handsome already I fried you...’, said Siska annoyed to scramble - random hair.
“Sis, are you crazy? Discussion at 4? Tuyul just laughs Sis, this hour is told meeting.”, said the other committee to Siska as they walked towards the lobby, the place Arya promised.
“Crazy Aryan sir, not me.”, said Siska without power.
When they had gathered, Arya immediately opened a document containing a series of agenda of their building team. He focused his attention on games.
“I want this removed from the competition. Please if anyone wants to do this activity, but I want this is the nature of choice. This too, this too. Equally I ask you to emphasize in each team should not force members to do certain activities. I want employee safety to take precedence and no one should be injured. Same please yes, pay attention to those who can not swim. Do not let me hear there is an incident.”, said Arya while crossing out some parts.
Arya just found out that Dinda's pregnant. He only realized that there were some team building activities that might endanger his wife because others did not know that Dinda was pregnant. Arya removes all of that activity from the team competition section and makes it a free activity. In the sense that anyone can participate but not part of the competition.
Of course, Siska and the team listened to the order well. At least from the outside they look to nod while forcing a smile, whereas in their hearts they have cursed their boss who although handsome but always make high blood.
