GRACEFUL
Chapter 25. Highlight Eyes of Longing

Gracefully enter the lobby of an office. He was asked to come to the interview with some complementary documents. He did not expect to get a response this fast. It feels like a dream.

_I'm finally back in this place. I must be able to prove to them that I am capable of rising from adversity. I'm sure my job will make me forget everything._

Lucky Grace doesn't have to wait long. The HRD named Arif deftly received the requested application file. He had also prepared the contract documents that Anggun had to sign.

"Anggun Bu, congratulations, yes! You are accepted to work here. You will be the secretary of Mr. Bagas. Today the staff will take you to Mr. Bagas' place" explained Arif.

"Do I have to work today, sir?" Graceful actually is not ready if you have to work right now, but to refuse it can not.

"Actually the new mother can work tomorrow, but because today Mr. Bagas needs you immediately, we are not good to refuse."

Also true. Moreover, Grace is a new employee. He must follow the rules of the company including having to work at this time as well.

"Good, Sir. Do I have to go there by myself or wait for the staff to deliver?"

Arif was a little hesitant. Because the staff who were in charge of delivering it turned out that today did not enter. After all to get to the room Mr. Bagaskara is also not too complicated.

"Mom can go alone. It's okay, right? The problem is that the staff is not in place" said Arif.

"Good, Sir. Then excuse me first."

After Arif pointed out the direction of the CEO Bagaskara's room, Anggun quickly headed there. Do not let because of the delay to be in front of the CEO it will be a problem for Anggun.

Arriving there, Anggun knocked on the door. Before long, Bagaskara's voice invited Anggun in.

"Lake in!"

Gracefully rushed to open the door and closed it again. For the first time Anggun met with Bagaskara. When viewed, the man was the same age as her ex-husband, Firhan.

_Ah, why do I still remember Firhan mas? I need to stay focused. Come, Graceful. Don't lose to yourself!_

Gracefully glued until the sound of Bagas made him realize.

"Bu Anggun? Are you okay?"

"Oh, sorry Mr. Bagas. I was just a little surprised to see the Father's room so spacious," Anggun said reasoned.

"Oh, it's okay, ma'am. Mr. Arif has informed me about you. So, I was able to instantly recognize Mother's name upon entering here. It doesn't matter if we don't meet again?"

Gracefully nodded slowly.

"Ah, but it's so unpleasant, yes, Bu Anggun. All right, introduce me to Bagaskara Trijaya. CEO of Trijaya Group." Bagas continued the introductory session before getting into the job.

"Oh, I'm Graceful Empress, sir."

"Oh, my goodness. I'm sorry, Mom. Please sit down." Only then did Bagas become aware of what to do.

"Thank you, sir."

The atmosphere was silent for a while because Bagas was preparing some files that would be used for client meetings in one hour.

Anggun must make sure the meeting room is ready with all the equipment. In addition, Anggun is also asked to ensure consumption for clients is really ready and nothing is missed. In addition, some bottles of mineral water will be placed on the meeting table. Bagaskara has also informed that there will be 4 guests today.

"Good, Sir. Everything I have recorded to do and remembered well. Um, if there will be obstacles, can I ask you?"

"Sure, Mom. We need to work together at work. So, if one experiences a problem, don't hesitate to ask."

Bagas decided to go to the meeting room first. While Grace has to finish her job. He would enter the meeting room after a few minutes.

Today Bagaskara will meet with Firhan and Witha. Two people from different companies are working with Bagaskara company.

"Well, you guys came together. What is this wind? It's really compact" said Bagaskara.

"Oh, we accidentally met in the front lobby. So, we decided to go up here together," explained Witha.

"Oh yes, Mr. Bagas. Don't you have a secretary? Why is this meeting on schedule? Even though you have already rescheduled," said Firhan.

"The HRD has got a new employee to fill the vacancy, Mr. Firhan. That's why today's meeting will be held. While my secretary is preparing some of our needs, how about the meeting starts soon?" Bagas.

Firhan is indeed together with Cakra. While Witha was also with a man who had never met at all. However, Vitha was also apparently unwilling to introduce herself again.

As the meeting was going on, suddenly Bagaskara's secretary came in. The fragrance she had once known made Firhan and Witha close her eyes for a moment. They seemed to enjoy the graceful presence there.

This smell is very strong. Have I gone mad imagining Anggun who has not responded to me at all? The business card I gave him didn't make him call me immediately. It's really weird and I'm hallucinating.

This scent is the scent of my ex-wife. I'm crazy to keep thinking about it. I'm sorry, Graceful. I can't keep our marriage.

Bagaskara did not observe the two nostalgic men. Until a voice made them and Anggun surprised at the same time.

"Please come in, Bu Anggun," said Bagas.

Sontak made Firhan and Witha open their eyes. They didn't think that it was Graceful. Cakra also recognized the woman who became Bagaskara's secretary.

"Bu Anggun? We meet again here" said Cakra.

Cakra was so happy to see him again. Because when he found out Firhan divorced Anggun and married Jihan, Cakra seemed to not accept what his boss did at that time. However, with a plausible explanation, Cakra was finally willing to accept.

"You know each other?" ask Bagaskara.

"Oh, we've met at a restaurant, sir," replied Cakra. He could not possibly say that Anggun was the ex-wife of his superior. Neither Graceful nor Firhan would be ashamed.

"Oh, okay. Then the introductory session with my secretary first." Bagaskara gave the code for Anggun to shake hands one by one of his clients.

Spotlight the eyes of Firhan and Witha indeed cannot be lied to. Highlight the eyes of deep longing. When shaking hands, the two men seemed unwilling to let go.

Oh, my gosh. How's now? I just got to work. Apparently Mr. Bagaskara has cooperation in two companies that are still in touch with my past. I should how? They must be trying to catch up to me again.

The introduction was short-lived as Bagaskara would continue his meeting. While Graceful, she faithfully prepared and accompanied her superior until the meeting was over.
