Lucas is contacted by his father, none other than Bimo. The middle-aged man told the son to meet a woman who was the sister of his business partner. He's trying to match Lucas to that woman.
Lucas refused, but Bimo remained adamant and made excuses if it was for the good of Luke himself, YH GROUP and his late mother. Want not to want Lucas also agreed to the wishes of his father especially already concerned with the mother.
Lucas walks into the cafe where he meets the woman Bimo says he is. He glanced to the left looking for the whereabouts of the woman. Lucas sees a woman wearing a purple dress sitting behind him. He was sure that was the woman in question.
Lucas walked to the table where the woman was. When he was at the table of the woman in question, Lucas was surprised to see her. It turned out that she was the woman he had met at the bar and Lucas had been offered to join the woman's jewelry company. It can be said that the woman-owned company is a business rival of YH GROUP.
"I'm sorry, I got the wrong guy. Excuse me."
"You're not wrong." The woman opened the sunglasses she was wearing. "Friends of your father, are my brothers. Sit down," he said. The woman smiled and offered Lucas a cup of coffee.
To appreciate the woman, Lucas sat in front of her. "sorry. I thought-"
"You think I'll follow into your life? Because we didn't reach an agreement on the job back then?" the woman looked at Lucas. Lucas refused to cooperate with the woman because he thought YH Group was the best place for him.
Lucas let out a short sigh and averted his gaze making the woman chuckle a little.
"When my sister mentioned your name, she said you were very good at design. And yeah... His words are true, he also seems to want to match us," said the woman. Lucas looked back at her after the woman said that.
"But I rejected it, because you're not my type. I have no intention of being with you. So we'll never be together... Because last time you refused to cooperate with me, so now I'll be the one to reject you this time.
Lucas chuckled little to hear it. "alright. I'm not intending to be with you either. Then I'm leaving." Lucas stood up and wanted to leave, but the woman's words made him sit back.
"Defusing you in my life doesn't mean I'm rejecting you in terms of working together. Mr. Lucas, my jewelry company is still interested in your jewelry design" she said.
"If possible, I hope you can leave YH GROUP and work at my company" he continued. The woman was so adamant that Lucas could work for his family-owned company.
Lucas took a breath, "I think my words last time were clear in your ears. So, I don't have to explain it anymore."
"That was before and the situation is different now. As far as I know, YH GROUP is experiencing a mortgage crisis abroad. We don't even know if Mrs Ranti will take over and manage the company to get it back to how it was... Are you still able to survive there?" asked the woman to look closely at Lucas. Lucas immediately avoided the woman's gaze.
"Mr Lucas, I'm sure your destination is not YH GROUP. But at the international awards in the design industry."
The woman's words suddenly made Lucas round his eyes, from where did the woman know his dream all along? Lucas was eager for his jewelry design to follow the international awards in the design industry in Europe and America, but it has not been implemented until now.
The woman took her business card from inside the bag, "YH GROUP will not be able to realize your dream. But if you work with my company, I can make you a world-famous jewelry designer." The woman put her business card on the table.
"I'll give you another chance. Please give me a reply 48 hours from now" she said, smiling at Lucas. Then he put his sunglasses back on and stood up leaving Lucas.
Lucas took the business card that the woman had put down. Vanya Smith, vice president at Smith Jewelry. One of the best jewelry companies after YH GROUP. That's the writing on the business card.
"Oh God's. A shareholder meeting at YH GROUP will be held soon! Why did I forget this!" Lucas immediately rushed to leave the cafe and immediately went to YH GROUP.
Caca was ready with her work clothes. Today is her first day as CEO at YH GROUP. The sound of her bedroom door being knocked from outside and it was Aril's voice. Caca went to open the door for Aril.
"Good morning, Miss. You ready yet?" greet Aril.
Caca nodded, "I'm ready. But I'm really nervous, Ril," he lamented. His hands are squeezed together which means Caca is being hit by anxiety. Aril did not escape to see the behavior of the woman who became his superior.
"You take it easy, Miss. I'll help and be next to you at the meeting" Aril said, trying to calm Caca down a bit. Last night he had a four-eye talk with Mr. Ibrahim. Mr. Ibrahim told Aril to always look after and help Caca in the company.
Mr. Ibrahim knew that his first grandson did not understand the business world. Because while in college, Caca majored in fashion design not business management. Therefore Mr. Ibrahim asked Aril who was fluent in the business world to guide Caca in the office. Aril gladly accepted the request of Mr. Ibrahim.
"When I say something wrong, Ril?" ask Caca in doubt.
"Are you, Ril?"
Aril nodded and smiled faintly. Caca was a little relieved that Aril was helping her. Aril looked down, right at Caca's feet wearing very high heels.
"You're comfortable wearing heels like that?" ask Aril.
Caca frowned, his eyes glancing towards his shoes. "I'm comfortable. Why why?"
Caca uses heels that are very pointed Stiletto shaped and measuring 10 cm. But he often uses the heels when going to work.
As a fashion designer, of course Caca must pay attention to his appearance. In Turkey, Caca has a pretty famous boutique. He wants to open some more branches. But unfortunately, now he must lead the company of the grandfather who is on the edge.
"Can I ask you to replace it? I'm afraid it'll trouble you when you walk."
Like the child her father told her to, Caca immediately nodded in agreement to Aril's request. "But you chose the shoes?" caca Pinta.
Aril nodded and Caca smiled happily. The two of them entered the room and walked towards the wardrobe room. Caca sits on a mini sofa, while Aril goes looking for shoes that are suitable for Caca.
Aril chose shoes in the form of kitten heels with a fairly short right of 5 cm. But Aril believes using these shoes makes Caca comfortable later.
Aril approached Caca and crouched down in front of the woman making Caca very surprised.
"What do you want, Ril?" ask Caca.
"I want to put these shoes on. I'm sure it's more comfortable than the shoe" replied Aril.
"No, let me do it" said Caca. It doesn't feel good if Aril wears it.
"It's okay, Miss."
Aril took one of Caca's legs and began to put on the shoes he had taken earlier. Caca feels now like a Cinderella who is being fitted with glass shoes by the handsome prince. It melted with this act of Aril. Caca hopes to stop time, he wants to linger with Aril.
"Already, Miss." Aril has finished pairing the shoes on Caca's smooth legs. He looked up at Caca, but he looked at her like a daydreaming person.
"Miss ..."
"Ah yes?" Caca flinched with her flushed face. He was embarrassed to be caught staring at Aril like that
"Why is your face flushed like that? You sick?" ask the less sensitive Aril.
Caca held both cheeks, he felt his face heat up. "What a hell, Ril. Let's go" he said, shifting the subject.
"Good, Miss."
The two of them came out of the room, walking in tandem to the front of the courtyard where they had parked the perfect car they would wear to the office.
Today is also the first day for Lala to work as an intern at YH GROUP on design. She is an animator and loves drawing animated characters.
Lala is now in front of YH GROUP building. "Well, why are so many people here? There will be an important meeting... Okay Lala, it's your first day at work. You can't disappoint!" Lala encouraged herself and walked into the company in a confident manner.
