EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 247's

...

Want to not want me to smile a little look at the photo, suddenly missed Bayu. Although it can be guessed that these three photos were taken from using a mobile phone, it means not one of my family, but from the invited guests who were present that night.

“This is a photo of me and Bayu. What's up with this? Are they jealous because I'm married?” I looked up at Rima. The phone in my hand had been pulled by Tiwi and turned on them to look at it.

“The problem is, who are you married to! They envy it.”

I narrowed my eyes thinking, the photo did not show Bayu was a soldier. I still don't understand.

“Do no one divulge the identity of Bayu?” Guess I'm not sure, but Rima nodded. I clenched my hands in annoyance, really angry because of Bayu's identity to become the gossip of the people here.

“Do you know who leaked it? Can you help me find out?”

Rima was looking at me, as if she was thinking about something. “I might be able to trace his footsteps, but I don't understand one thing.”

“What?” I ask impatiently.

“Your wedding only invites the closest family ‘kan? If that person is at your wedding, then you know him?”

“Yes. I have an assumption who this guy is. But still I want to be sure one hundred percent before talking to him.” Rima nodded then she immediately changed her sitting position facing the computer screen, her hands were already busy on top of the mouse and keyboard.

“Sweetest! You guys look good.” Tiwi said softly which made me instantly glance at her. They were all still behind me with wide smiles staring at Rima's phone.

I smiled at him too. “Actually Bayu wants to introduce himself directly to you guys, but he has an urgent job so no time.”

Before they answered, the door to our room was open, one of the salesmen came in to see Camila, which meant we had to get back to work.

…

For the rest of the next six days, I was busy preparing the work materials for the handover to the new employee, fortunately all the friends in my room did not consider me a person who would leave the company any minute, either, they worked as usual, discussing with me as usual, although sometimes the problems we discussed for the next two weeks or one month were all in addition to the job records for the person who would replace me.

Until now, Mr. Ginanjar and Rima are still trying to help me explore the people who spread gossip, it is not easy because the gossip comes not from my branch, but from the central people.

While the other employees in this branch aside from my room, were always gathering, whispering during the break, I knew they were talking about me because every time I passed by, I was talking about me, they either stay on the spot or pretend to be busy themselves. Not infrequently the attitude of some of them to me is more unfriendly.

“How?” Ask when the door is closed from behind.

Camila, Bela, Tiwi and Kiki stopped their activities in front of the table and immediately looked at me who was still standing in front of the door with Rima.

“Not much, he conveyed about the condition in the center, he said the personnel section got a complaint from other employees because it was too ‘lunak’ to me. He also reminded me of the visit of an important person from the Eternity group, a company that a few days ago bought a 50% stake in this group of companies. Center is busy to solve internal problems like me this.” I walked towards my desk with Rima who was following from behind.

“Only that? Isn't that person the manager who is directly our boss according to the organizational structure? He should have held you.” Said Rima.

“Should they be busy with reports that are still messy, or busy with accounts payable, instead of focusing on the leave of an employee!” Kiki commented.

“That means, they do want me to get out of here soon.” My answer was a bit upset also in reminded Rima that the person I just met was my own boss directly.

“But why did the gossip last night say otherwise?”

“What other rumors?” I looked at Rima curiously as I sat in my own chair.

“Now the center people say you are Mr Lim's favorite employee because he came directly here just to talk about resignation letter, in the center is busy so it requires all the company leaders there to always be ready to standby if needed.” Obviously Rima.

I just frowned, when dealing with Mr. Lim, he was acting normal to me. “Now, but Mr. Lim used to be with me. He looks very resigned to my resignation letter, not trying to persuade me to stay.”

“But actually why are the center people so busy to welcome people from the Eternity group? Do they want to audit?” I asked Rima.

The woman shook her head. “Maybe they are nervous because you know, Eternity group is a well-known company in the field of entertainment, pharmacy, property even now they go into manufacturing.”

It seems I can ask Evano's father this question or at least ask Yudha, who we've all been busy lately. Evano's father used to ask me questions every day - I felt grateful for that little attention - and Yudha also often called me to ask when she could accompany me to the company because Evano's father asked her to press me either.

I haven't seen Danendra's family in a week, even though they kept calling me, even Kenzo's uncle and aunt Kenzie asked me when I could play at their place or when they could come visit me, it seems like they all know that even after I go home from work I'm going to college, so they don't push me.

Then the knock on the door of the room broke my daydream, Tiwi whose desk was close to the door immediately stood up and opened the door. There was a courier there carrying something pink.

“Rima, how's your investigation? There are rumors who will replace Icha?” Ask Bela to Rima.

“This person is very...what is the right word? To hide? No, mysterious. No one really knows what his name is because it immediately got training from the head of HRD. People say he's like a US card? I don't know, it feels a little excessive, right? I mean, our work is troublesome, especially in this branch. Even experienced employees from other branches if moved here they refuse.”

I nodded, right, that was another interesting fact about this branch, when in the past at the annual meeting, one of the superiors proposed rotation between section heads, but many did not want to, but many did not want to, especially because they refuse to be placed here. This branch has the highest profit among all other branches also has a mountain of responsibilities because of the breadth of cooperation with other company partners if they have to compare. In essence, the risk of becoming a section head in this branch is higher.
