The sound of a bang from the stilettos clashing against the floor was heard filling the corridor. With her elegant style, Brianna smiled kindly at the few people who passed her there. Until finally, his steps arrived at the front door of the company's official room.
Brianna's hand stretched out, knocking on the door first.
Tok Tok Tok B ...
"Please enter!"
The voice of the command from inside the room, made Brianna no longer hesitate to press the handle and open the door.
"Excuse me, Mrs. I've scheduled your schedule, as you requested," Brianna said politely to a middle-aged woman in front of her. He's Jane, the director of the company.
"Thank you, Bri. Try reading my schedule this afternoon" Jane said later.
Brianna looked at the list she still held, then read out Jane's schedule directly in front of the woman.
"This afternoon, you have a meeting with Mr. Teatons."
Jane mangosteen. "Ah, he's a close relation. We have to see him because his son is a close friend of my son" Jane said.
Brianna nodded while marking on the schedule she still held. He underlines Jane's meeting with Mr. Teatons which means that Jane will meet her relationship, it will be noon.
"After that meeting, what else?"
Brianna again read out the schedules Jane had to do throughout the day. Including some activities that have also been postponed several times.
When Brianna was done with her job. He immediately left the Director's room.
"Uhm, Bri?" call Jane who saw Brianna almost reach the exit.
The woman looked. "Yes, Mrs?" responsiveness.
"I want you to be with me later in the day."
Brianna's forehead frowning in. She is indeed Jane's secretary, but her job capacity in this company is only limited to arranging schedules or important meetings of the director. Brianna never went down to accompany the woman because Jane has a personal assistant who is always able to do anything.
"You mean, should I accompany you to meetings with clients?" ask Brianna to make sure.
"Well, you can, right?"
Brianna nodded, it was an honor for her to accompany Jane to the meeting. Although during her time working here Jane has never asked her to meet clients in person, but with Jane's request today Brianna will try her best. Besides, that's how his job should be.
"Goodle. You come with me to meet Mr. Teatons are noon."
"Yes, Mrs. Thank you," said Brianna with a genuine smile.
Jane nodded and immediately signaled that Brianna could leave the room.
...***...
Brianna looked at her face in the mirror that was in the office toilet, she also noticed her appearance today.
"It seems like it's been good," he said judging himself.
"Hi, Bri." Friska said hello to Brianna. He just entered the same toilet.
"Hi."
Brianna commented a smile to the colleague who worked at the same company as him.
"You're going?" friska asked, looking at Brianna's gurgle that seemed to be getting ready.
"yeah. I'll accompany Mrs. Jane."
"Well, a progression. After two years of working here, you've finally been trusted to keep her company." Friska looked cramped, it seemed like she was happy with the news Brianna delivered.
"Yes, I hope I don't forget how to hook the project because I've been comfortable with my work here for too long just making and reading Mrs' schedule. Just jane."
Friska chuckled followed by a laugh from Brianna as well.
"Prove your ability, you can!" Friska clenched her hands into the air, as a gesture of encouragement that she gave Brianna.
"Yup. I hope so."
Brianna came out of the toilet and waited for Jane who would soon be out of her room. Jane is a very disciplined workaholic woman. He appreciates the time, so Brianna does not want to be late and makes Jane who has to wait for him.
"Bri, are you ready?"
Brianna nodded at Jane who was actually present in time before her.
Brianna admires Jane's elegance while walking. He deserves to be a leader even though he is no longer young.
Brianna does not know the intricacies of Jane's life as a whole because the personal lives of the company officials are deliberately kept secret. Well, Brianna thinks it's natural because everyone needs privacy. They only publish their successes and what they have achieved in relation to their work. But for family matters, relationships, and others Jane tends to be closed.
Brianna had heard rumors that Jane was a single parent. Her husband died a few years ago. But, I don't know. Who knows about that. After all Brianna felt no need to explore the life of the Director. The only one who knows the reality about Jane is probably her personal assistant Cleo.
Along the way, Brianna did not say much. Similarly, Jane who is more focused staring at the tablet in her hand. Until finally, the driver who delivered them said if they had arrived at their destination.
"We're here, ma'am."
Jane patted the back of Brianna's hand. "Let's go down" he asked Brianna.
"Yes, Mrs."
Brianna and Jane get out of the luxury car after the driver opens the door for the two of them.
"Bri, don't be too tense .. because as I said earlier, Mr. Teatons are close relations that are like relatives to us. Think of it as your meeting with an old friend," Jane warns Brianna and calms her down.
"Good, Mrs."
Both of them stepped into a family restaurant that is quite famous. Today Jane is alone with Brianna because Cleo is taking her break.
"Call, Mr. Teatons." Jane greets a friendly young man who is already sitting waiting for her. The man looked over and gave his best smile.
"I think what I'm going to meet here is your father, Fabio," Jane told the young man.
Hearing Jane's words, the man called Fabio got up from his seat. "Mrs Hallo. Mattews, my father is in Sweden so I'm the one who replaced him for this meeting" he said.
Both laughed without awkwardness.
While Brianna is also there, so find out if Jane has a familiar last name in her memory and in her hearing.
Mattew. Ah, the name reminded Brianna of someone she hated so much.
However, Brianna did not want to bother. Aren't there a lot of people who use the same name?
Jane and Mr.'s son. Teatons seemed familiar, even though they were of different generations. They had also forgotten the formal greeting that had made the two laugh.
"Ah, yes ... Fabio, meet this Brianna. He's Aunty's secretary."
"Hi, I'm Fabio Teatons." The man reached out his hand at Brianna who was smiling awkwardly.
"Brianne."
"You're lucky to be Aunty Jane's secretary, she'll inspire you so much" Fabio said later.
Brianna just commented on the awkward smile back, because she was not used to being friendly to new people. I don't know, he just needs to adjust for a moment for this.
"Ah, sorry I was late" said someone who had just arrived and immediately occupied an empty seat in front of Brianna. Their gazes instantly met and made their two eyeballs perfectly round instantly.
"You?" said the man who looked surprised.
"You?" brianna said too.
"You know each other?" jane asked Brianna and the man who had just arrived.
Brianna swallowed her saliva quickly, for some reason her throat felt choked the moment she met this man. He is Arthur Mattews, the man who bullied him a lot while at University.
"Bri, do you know Arthur?" ask Jane again, which now leads to Brianna alone.
"yeah. She--"
"He was one of my class mates at University, Mom," Arthur interrupted Brianna's unfinished words.
Jane mangosteen. "It's good that you know each other" he responded with a smile.
Brianna clenched her hands tightly. She tried not to associate Jane's last name with someone she knew in the past. In fact they have something to do and Arthur's call to Jane means that they are mother and child.
"Oh my God, why do I have to see this breng again? Why is the world so narrow? And I worked as her mother's secretary!" brianna protested in her own heart.
While there, Arthur reviews the smile of his flagship smirk towards Brianna who is also looking at him with a hateful gaze.
