That morning, as usual, a man in a full suit on his body walked up while pushing a stroller with his beloved daughter. Three months have passed since the birth of the triplets, but Jessica is still reluctant to part with her father.
The little one is always fussy, even to the point of fever if far from Nicholas. Inevitably, the man always took his daughter to the office or where she went like a hot daddy.
He is not shy about doing all that, even making employees more amazed and proud of their superiors who become role models, as well as the standard of dream husbands. Nicholas stepped in with a smile on his face because of his proud little one who always accompanied.
"Morning, sir," said the employees that Nicholas walked through.
The man simply nodded and continued his steps towards his room. A place that should give the impression of dominance and show leadership. It has now become the safest room for the little one.
"Will, what's my schedule today?" nicholas asked his assistant and immediately took Jessica from the stroller to be put in the baby crib next to his desk.
"Today there's a meeting with a client of baby food products, sir," Willy told Nicholas.
"Truely, then arrange for the meeting here only!"
"Good, Sir."
After the birth of her babies, Nicholas was investing heavily in baby products. Both in terms of equipment, to instant food and snacks of the babies. In addition, because self-awareness in providing nutrition to children from an early age is very important. Nicholas also wants children to grow up healthy through products under the Bannerick Group.
Some time later, the two people scheduled to meet today had already arrived together with Willy entering the room. "Good day, Mr. Nich," said a woman who was quite old, probably the same age as Laura.
"Good day, Madam. Please sit!" nicholas said he invited the two women.
Another woman seemed to be sitting carefully, making Nicholas frown at her movements like Jessi had before when she was just a few days into labor. "Had something happened, madam?" nicholas asked as he looked at the woman without further ado.
"Ah, sorry, Mister. I just gave birth by caesarean. So be a little careful when sitting in a low place," replied the woman felt bad for getting a glance from her superior. Giving birth by cesarean does require more recovery time when compared to normal birth. Especially before he had a bad thing on the seams of the former operation so that a high sense of caution is needed so as not to reoccur and even fatal.
"Sorry, Mr. Nich. She had only just started working after a previous maternity leave. So maybe still feel a little sick," said the boss gave an excuse to potential investors.
Nich only nodded while reading the files they brought, while the two could only freeze looking at Nicholas' silence after his last question. Every now and then the female assistant circulated her gaze to all sides. It was a very different room compared to the other leaders.
Every corner of objects that are considered dangerous such as the end of the table, chair, and other objects have been coated with rubber or silicone such as in his home. Where it is done in anticipation not to hurt his children. However, it was in the room of a male boss. Maybe his wife and son come here often. Thought the woman.
Until a moment later, the sound of a baby's cry makes both of them stunned and look at each other.
"Wait a minute!" said Nicholas who then immediately stood up and took Jessica from the baby crib next to his seat of greatness. "Ush, ush, ush, Daddy's darling is up."
With a shrewd Nicholas calmed the princess, then took a bottle of milk that had previously been prepared by the wife. Now triplets are ready to drink formula milk if far from his mother.
Jessica immediately fell silent as she sucked the bottle of milk in Nicholas's sling. The two women couldn't believe what they had just seen.
A handsome, dashing, and dignified man also has a high position of working while caring for his baby. It is a rare and very rare occurrence. Even their husbands are reluctant to help care for babies after being tired of working all day. There should be a baby smell in this room. A combination of powder, telon oil and other baby equipment smells.
Nicholas also brought Jessica in his arms while reviewing the files they brought after his son regained his composure. "I will coordinate with the food section first later about the nutritional value content that is here. Did you bring some of the products?" nicholas asked them again to continue their discussion.
"She, Sir." The assistant took some samples of their baby products on the market and products with new variants. More than twenty baby food packs were arranged in such a way on the table.
However, a second later, the sound of Jessica urinating complete with her fart immediately pierced the sense of smell of some people there. "Ah, sorry. Looks like my daughter's pooping. Excuse me!"
Shamelessly, Nicholas steps away leaving the two women still dumbfounded for his actions to Nicholas' personal space. The man painstakingly cleaned the dirt of the baby, and changed his clothes with a new one.
Meanwhile, the two people left with Willy were finally powerless to hold the curiosity within their chests. "Is Mr Nicholas a widower, sir?"
"Then his wife?"
"Madam, Jessi also took care of the other two babies. It's just that, his two brothers seemed reluctant for a long time in the office, so only when she wanted to come here Mistress Jessi," willy replied as if to shed some light on the curiosity of the two women.
"They're triplets?" ask them as if in disbelief, but get a nod from Willy. What a fortune to the Bannericks. Already come from a rich family, have direct descendants of three anyway, and the most envious mothers is the attention of Nicholas as a father.
Shortly after, Nicholas came out with his beautiful baby. The man looked even more charming when he took Jessica with him. "I think this time it was enough. Leave the products here! Later after our research team make sure everything is safe and not dangerous for the baby or there is a need for improvement, I will invest a number of funds according to what you submit later. Let my assistant tell you guys."
"Well, sir," said the woman who became the superior.
"Oh, yes. By the way how long is the maternity leave usually?" ask Nicholas again.
"Ninety days, sir." The woman answered nervously. Somehow he felt there would be a request from Nicholas that harmed his side later.
"How long is maternity leave in our company, Will?" Nicholas looked directly at his assistant without waiting for long.
"365 days and still get a salary, sir. In accordance with the rules of the government in this country," replied Willy firmly because that is the policy in State N for mothers to give birth.
Nicholas only gave a small nod, while the two women in front of him seemed to be waiting for what words would come out of his mouth. Especially that almost middle-aged woman. He realized that his company had violated the rules about the subordinate leave period and forced the mothers who had just given birth to return to work immediately.
"I hope you restore their leave as appropriate. Moreover, the policy in Country N is like that, if you cannot, then there is no need to wait long. I'll resign my intention to invest in your company."
"I'm ready, sir. I will restore their leave rights as appropriate," said the woman without much thought because it is her company policy that violates the rules of women's leave, and he would use this excuse to fight against the ranks who disagreed later on.
"All right then. By the way, Madam. As a working mom, what do you think is the hardest thing for you?" nicholas asked the assistant again.
He was silent for a moment thinking about Nicholas' words. Getting the sharp gazes of the two people of course his heart was pounding fast. Khawatit if later he finally answered wrong and even made something bad for himself.
However, Nicholas seemed to know the woman's worries. "It's okay. Just say! I will make this a reference for my own company. It has nothing to do with our cooperation."
Nicholas' words instantly lifted a heavy weight on his chest over his excessive worry. "As a woman who works eight hours can even be twelve hours. The difficult thing for us is." For a moment the woman stopped her sentence because she felt her complaint was too vulgar. But Nicholas suggested he continue. "The most difficult thing for us is the absence of special space, as well as special storage for us women who give milk to our babies. If we do that in the bathroom, it certainly reduces the cleanliness and hygienic of the milk itself if it is later given to our child."
Nicholas is just a mangosteen. It's true what the woman said. Moreover, women who hold back not to breastfeed for eight hours must be the breasts will feel pain and swelling, as Jessi who sometimes complained about it if Jessica was with him or her two brothers brought Laura, Laura, which means the wife does not issue ASI as long as they do not exist.
"Is there any more?"
"Actually, we sometimes leave our children to babysitting. But, sometimes there is a sense of anxiety too when doing so. Because now there is a lot of early childhood violence," said the woman issued what stuck in her heart as a working mother.
"Alright, then thank you for the information. It's nice to work with you!" Nicholas also shook the hands of the two women, as a sign that what they discussed had arrived at the end of the discussion.
They, too, resigned themselves and stepped away. In his heart was envious to have a company leader like Nicholas who so heard the inner voice of his subordinates.
Meanwhile, after the two women died Nicholas began discussing his new policy with Willy. "Is our company not providing such a place either, Will?"
"No, Sir."
"Then, turn the meeting place on the tenth floor into a playground area for children. And make a child care manager vacancy in our company. Also provide a special place for mothers who want to redden or save their ASI." Nicholas finally gave the decision that was taken by the assistant.
He did it for the welfare of his employees. In this way, they will work optimally because there are no more concerns about their children at home because at rest they can visit directly in the child's area.
