HATE Before LOVE
Rare Opportunity.
"YOU?!"
"ABDUCTORS!"
"Hey, who's the kidnapper?! Don't just accuse!" Ardan Protest.
"You are! If not, why was I in your car all of a sudden? And why are you above me? You must be willing to commit harassment, right?!" Elif.
"God! Your brain is sliding or what? You're not even my type. Anyway, where's the kidnapper taking you to the hospital?"
"How do I know! Maybe you intend to sell my organs illegally!"
"Hey, if I wanted to sell organs illegally, I would've taken you to the black market, not a legal hospital."
"Criminals always have all sorts of sneaky ways!"
"You!" Ardan clenched his hands, the sweet fragrance emanating from the girl made him a little refrain from exploding accused of being a kidnapper and a criminal. Ardan took a deep breath, inhaling the scent to keep him calm even though the girl before him did not know that whatever fragrance oil he was wearing made Ardan feel relaxed.
"Listen, you were in my car because I accidentally bumped into you when you suddenly walked out of a small alley. Then you passed out, and I, as the man in charge, of course, took you straight to the nearest hospital, and when you realized that moment I was gonna lift you out of the car to take you to the ER. So chronological!"
The girl kept staring at Ardan filled with the highest level of suspicion and vigilance she had like him.
"Where's my bike?" tanyanya cynic.
"Your bike is broken, so I threw it away." replied Ardan very lightly.
Who would have thought that the light answer even made the girl in front of him glare giddily and move closer to Ardan then...
BUGS!
The petite girl kicked Ardan's leg right at his shin.
"Abkkhhh!" Ardan took a few steps back, in pain. "YOU'RE CRAZY, RIGHT?!"
"That's for my bike you just threw away!" Shouted the girl then left in front of Ardan, he ran through the elevator to the emergency stairs.
"Based on a strange girl! I should've let him pass out on the street. Akhs! Shit, it hurts the kick."

Really sucks. Maybe for some people buying a bike is easy, what else is his bike is not an expensive bicycle, just an ordinary bicycle. But Elif had to work and save to be able to have his own bike, because his father certainly did not care.
And that guy, he hit him, broke his only bike, and just dumped it! How outrageous!
But, it was not the man's fault either, maybe he did not know where to return his bike because at that time Elif left just like that while in the hospital. Even his bag was returned by security.
Elif grunting. Feeling angry, and feeling guilty. Either the part that made him feel guilty, accused the man of being the kidnapper or had kicked him earlier.
"Elif?"
Elif looked at the voice of the man who called out to him.
"Sir Gavin?"
"You're applying for a job here? Why don't you call me first?" Gavin's approaching. They stood in the middle of the lobby heading out.
"Did Gavin's brother work here?" Elif asked back.
"You didn't read my card?"
"Did?" Elif scratching. Gosh, I totally forgot Gavin gave me his card. Elif. "Sorry, I forgot." Elif regret and bad taste.
Gavin chuckles. "It's okay. So how did it go today? I'm sure you'll get through to the next stage, won't you?"
Elif smiled wryly and also looked a highlight of sadness. "I didn't get away because I'm not a university graduate."
"What?" Gavin surprised.
"HRD says it's my only flaw, the CEO has his own rules."
Gavin grunts. "Silly excuses!"
"It's okay, brother. Maybe not the windfall of work here" said Elif resigned. "Well to see you again."
"Yes me too. Actually I want to talk to you a lot, but there's a meeting soon."
"It's okay, brother. Next time only. Excuse me for going home, brother."
"Are you picked up?"
***
"Not now." Reject Ardan immediately by hand when he saw Gavin coming closer with a very clear facial expression that seemed to want to talk about something. "We're meeting now" he just passed by.
Gavin looked at Teddy with a question mark, but Teddy just shook his head slowly. Teddy himself was not sure what caused his boss to suddenly become bad mood when he had just sought the wind. Usually after looking for the wind when upset always makes Ardan feel better. Does the news of Marsha's proximity to the rising actor really bother her?
Gavin took a long breath. This meeting will be stressful. His inner.
***
The next day even more upset Ardan. How not, Sonya's replacement candidates who were passed from the previous stages were absolutely no match for Ardan. Those who come are more focused on appearance and grooming. No one focused on the question Ardan was asking. All the answers given are standard answers that are done as much as possible to get a job. And most irritated, there was no earnestness, they were even busy being cute in front of Ardan.
"Call HRD here now!" His orders to Teddy.
Teddy's out. Not long after Teddy came out, Gavin came in with a thin file.
"What's that?" ask Ardan directly.
"CV was one of the candidates who didn't qualify yesterday." Gavin simply placed the document in a plastic map onto Ardan's desk. "I know one of the candidates who didn't qualify yesterday. I'd like to recommend it to you."
Ardan laughed sneeringly, "You know, those I just interviewed were the ones who got away yesterday, but none of them were competent. How can you recommend one that doesn't get away with me?"
"Because this girl did not get away not because of her incompetence, not because she did not have the potential and not because of incompetence, her lack was simply because she was not a university graduate."
"Forget it, I'll look for Sonya's replacement in my own way."
Gavin sighed, trying to be patient with his boss and stubborn best friend when it comes to rules.
"Ar, think about it, those who are university graduates are not as competent as you would expect. That means, competent or not someone is not measured from university graduates or not. Come on, just loosen up a little bit of your rules, give this girl I recommend."
"What are the advantages until you recommend it to me?"
"He is deft, quick to learn, friendly, intelligent and persistent. I'm sure he's the right Sonya replacement."
Geck. Geck. Geck.
"Lake in!" ardan.
Herdi the head of the HRD entered facing Ardan with a worried face.
"What's the name of the person you're recommending?" tanya Ardan, still has not opened the CV brought by Gavin.
"Elif." replied Gavin.
"You remember the name Elif you interviewed yesterday?" ask Ardan to turn to Herdi.
"Yes Sir. There's."
"What's the reason you didn't get rid of it?"
"Actually only one shortcoming of the girl, that is not a university graduate. For the rest, I think he's the best candidate."
"What I'm saying." said Gavin with a voiceless expression on his face.
"I recommend the girl to Mr. Ardan, I think the girl deserves a chance. Do you agree?" Gavin asked Herdi.
"Very agree sir." replied Herdi while nodding his head.
"All right! All righty! Call the girl, tell her to come now for an interview with me. I'll give him an hour!"
"Well Sir!" Herdi immediately excuse me and come out of Ardan's room with long steps.
Gavin smiled proudly and happily at Ardan's decision to give the person he recommended a chance. He knew, though stiff and cold from the outside with all the rules he made, deep down Ardan was a kind-hearted and not so cold-hearted person.
"Don't smile like that at me, you scare me!"
Gavin chuckles.
"Where come back to your room!" Ardan shook his hand.
Gavin bowed slightly paying homage to Ardan's hyperbole with a wide grin adorning his face. "Welcome to work Mr. Ardan Mahesa Demir."
Ardan snorted lazily mixed in annoyance with what had happened this early. She took the CV that Gavin had given her earlier. The first page contains personal data and a 3x4 photo pass with a blue background. A girl with round eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, smiling sweetly.
Ardan's forehead wrinkled, he looked closer at the photo, several times his eyes were gnawing. In the next instant, the corner of his lips moved up, grinning as he realized and was sure of the photo of who he was looking at.
"We'll see if you can still kick my leg again later."
