Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
CHAPTER 75. This Morning's Hot News

On the way, Zaky invites Rania to stop by somewhere before driving her home. Rania agrees because Papa must know that he is with Zaky. Moreover, Rania suspects, if certainly Zaky has promised his father to take care of himself as long as he is with Zaky.

Of course Rania had expected that papa would make Zaky promise. Because that is the habit of papa when there is someone who invites himself out, even though the one who invites him out is his girlfriend too!

"Where are we going, then,?"

"Emm, actually there's nothing. I just want to see you" said Zaky with his little bitterness.

Rania folded her hands to her chest. "Hem, it's only fitting that Rania's pick is not papa." Rania then looks at the clock in the car. "Now they want to enter magrib," said Rania means that the time they met is very short.

"What's important is that I've met you."

"Basar suka ngegombal."

"That's how it is when people are blinded by ...."

Zaky realized that he was almost free to talk. He quickly switched their conversation so that Rania did not realize what she really wanted to say. "Oh yeah, why are you coming home so late? Did Khanif intentionally give you additional duties?"

Rania quickly shook her hand. He then denied Zaky's words. "No, Mr. Khanif is an understanding superior. Ever since my leg sprained for the first time I entered work. Once, once I entered, but not for a few hours Reyhan has come to pick you up and Mr. Khanif instead returned to give me permission."

"He's a good boss, yeah."

"Yes, he is a good boss" Rania said.

After nearly ten minutes of driving, Zaky stopped his car right at the door of Rania's house.

"Almost first, Zak," Rania said after she got off Zaky's car.

"Other times. All right, I'll go first. If there's free time, I'll take you away."

"All right, I'll wait." After that, Rania passed from before Zaky. But just a few steps back, Zaky called out to him.

"Ro."

"Why?"

"No, I'm just calling you."

"There's just one thing" Rania said with a small smile.

"Gih, get inside the house."

Rania nodded, she waved her hand at Zaky only after that, she passed into the house.

Arriving inside, papa who was in the middle room also stopped Rania's footsteps by asking, "son Zaky has come home?"

Rania turned to Papa and answered him, "yes, pa. Just just now."

Papa nodded. He did not stop Rania's footsteps anymore.

***

The next day, Rania returned to the office by papa with a supply from home. Yes, this is the custom of Rania since working in Khanif's office. He always brought lunch from home that he made himself.

He entered the office when he had previously kissed the hand of the father. When Rania was about to step inside, she accidentally passed Khanif who also just arrived.

They walked to their respective elevators. But along the way, the other employees who accidentally saw them, were amazed to see them.

How not, they were like a couple that had been destined to be together. But in fact, they are nothing more than superiors and subordinates.

Knowing that fact, made them sigh in disappointment. They seem to want a special relationship between the boss and the subordinate. But it seems that the relationship is starting to be impossible considering there is a new news they just know, namely the proximity of Khanif and Davina who recently surfaced.

I don't know who spread the news first. But surely, it was no longer the two girls who had been caught wet by Davina the other day. I don't know who spread the news this morning. To make some employees who like to gather, talk about this warm news.

"Udah, I don't want to talk about them anymore. Let my words to them be kept in my heart. I could be called back to Davina. This is a good thing because Davina still wants to forgive me. If not? Want to eat what I live abroad," he said at length.

The glasses girl shook her head slowly. "You're right, sorry to be fishing for this sensitive talk again."

"Here you go, let's go back to the room again" he asked.

"Eh! Have you seen the group?"

The glasses girl shook her head slowly.

His friend let out a disappointed breath, but still told him. "This news is still very warm ...." He stopped his words by closing his lips. "I don't think I can continue it anymore. You know, if I promise. This is how I almost slipped. Although I'm not the one who spread this news in the group, but it would be very wrong if I told you who don't know yet."

The glasses girl patted her friend's shoulder. "I salute you who keep your promise. All right, let's go," he asked.

The two girls passed from the lobby. Khanif and Rania passed by without saying a word.

Just yesterday they looked familiar, this morning they looked like strangers stuck in the same office. Ah, rather it was Rania who was trapped in Khanif's office.

Yeah, they look like strangers. On one side Rania was so afraid to greet Khanif first because he saw the face of Khanif who seemed cold, not as usual.

Although ordinary Khanif seems silent, but Khanif usually say hello or smile if there are employees he meets. However, this morning Khanif did not consider the people around him, even Rania meant. For this reason, Rania was afraid to rebuke him. It was like he didn't even know the man who was walking next to him earlier. Because Rania thought, Khanif opened himself up this morning.

Apparently, Rania's guess was right. Khanif is indeed open Khanif like in the past. Today he will be a different Khanif. How not.  This morning, Khanif was infuriated by having read a bad and true news for himself and Davina. To make the morning so bad.

It is not that he does not want to say hello back and smile back at the employees who cross paths with him. Only, he had to hurry up to his room to call the manager of the information section to face him immediately.

Really, he wanted to know immediately the perpetrator who had spread the bad news. Whoever it is, Khanif won't give him any more job opportunities! He must act decisively from now on regarding himself and others so that in the future, there will be no one who can do the same.

Khanif had been turning a blind eye to the conversation involving him, because he knew all the strange news was not true. He also once said 'if we can't keep the mouths of others shut because we don't have a right there.' He also went on to say, 'if we only need to close our eyes and ears to the cheap gossip.'

But now, things are different. He had to catch the person who had spread the warm news this morning. So that no one is hurt more in it.

Khanif has arrived in his room. Just as he was sitting down, he had called the information division manager to come to his room immediately. While Rania, just now she was sitting, a friend beside her desk named Dian, was standing enthusiastically and then approached her.

"By!" call brief.

Rania turned her head and replied, "yes what is it?"

"Do you know what, the news spread this morning in the group?"

Rania shook her head not knowing, because this morning she was busy with making her lunch so that she could not open an office group.

"Oh, that means you've missed the news."

"What news is it about?" rania asked without interest because she did not like opening a group if there was nothing important to tell.

"You know, it turns out that Mr. Khanif and Ms. Davina have a special relationship!"

"Don't ngaco you!" Rania shook her hand in front of her face.

"Ih, really! It's look!" he said while showing a photo. Instantly Rania smothered her mouth in disbelief.
