HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
46. Resigns
Eric put in a letter of resignation in the office where he worked and after officially leaving the office he began to fix the business owned by his parents who had almost closed.
With a determination that has been round and high spirit, this morning he departed from home after breakfast at his father's shop to a building where the furniture business is located in the middle of the city.
"Good morning, Mr. Jasmin!" greet Eric when arriving at the location where the employee works. There he found only three employees in the past, usually they numbered ten.
Mr. Jasmin was one of the most loyal employees and Eric knew him because he was his father's confidant.
"Good morning, son! Tumben stop here," said Mr. Jasmin. He paused for a moment from his busy life and met Eric.
"Yes sir, again kangen nih.... how is the development of my parents' business?" eric asked, because he actually knew.
"As you can see, son, the buyer's been quiet since your father left and lately it's been getting worse since your mother got sick and no one's been directing us. Look, the rest of us are three people who survive because we want to work anything if we join the strike like others, today the work is very difficult," said Mr. Jasman sadly.
"Don't be discouraged, sir, because from now on I will help you here!" and Eric with spirit.
"Correct? Didn't you work as an office worker?" ask Jasmin in surprise.
"From now on I'll focus here, sir!" eric said to convince Jasmin.
Mr. Jasmin smiled. He was very happy to hear the news.
That day Eric began working by noting the work equipment that had to be replaced and also that needed to be added. In fact, he helped Mr. Jasmin to smooth the wood before varnishing.
Both of Mr. Jasmin's friends also feel happy and eager to do his job.
Eric also began promoting the furniture business through social media at an affordable price and just a few days after that there were already some people who ordered and some even immediately came to the location to making purchases.
The most sold items are furniture cabinets and dining tables that are complete with chairs and there are even some cabinets that have long been displayed in the store also sold after Eric ordered employees to repaint with a different paint color than before.
"Ttrrdd, trrrdd, trrrdd..," Eric's phone vibrating voice was heard.
He immediately grabbed the phone located on the table and checked it. Apparently a new number is calling. He smiled because he had always hoped that if there was a new number that contacted him then it would be Anna.
"Hello!" sweep it with as loud a voice as possible.
"Sorry, is this really the number of you who have a furniture business?" the voice of someone across there.
Eric's face instantly changed but he immediately made a sound again after sighing heavily.
"Yes, right, can I help you, sir?" ask Eric.
"I am a leader at a private school who wants to order fifteen bookshelves and must be completed within the next two weeks because the use is very urgent!"
"Oh, yes sir, can, please send model and size to me!"
"Okay, I'll send it via WhatsApp, then,"
"Together,"
Phone connection disconnected. Eric smiled as he got another order. He approached Jasmin and discussed the matter.
"If we were just three, obviously we wouldn't be able to finish the job in two weeks' time" Jasmin said.
"Relax sir, I'll find a new employee to help us out here!" said Eric.
He also directly posted job openings through social media for people who have skills in the fields needed.
The next day there were four people who came to register and two of them were old employees, namely Dadang with Bakri. Both have families and even have two children.
Eric and Mr. Jasmin and other employees welcomed them with pleasure. Now the atmosphere was getting crowded again so they were getting excited and without waiting for a longer time, they were immediately directed by Eric to work on some urgent orders.
When they were busy with work, Eric was also trying to find a stock of wood to be provided so that the future was not overwhelmed.
***
It's been a few days since Susi came to the office and she felt something was missing. Eric never appeared again in the office makes him wonder because all this time he never knew the news in the office. He spent more time resting in his room.
"Do you know where Eric went, because he hasn't been in the office for a few days?" susi asked Jojo, who works in the office as a cleaning service when passing in front of her room.
"You don't really know? He has resigned from this office" said Mr. Jojo.
"resigning? Where else would he work?" asked Susi in surprise.
"Yahhh, where do I know," said Mr. Jojo then continued his steps because he was in a hurry to do his job.
Susi became confused and shocked because she felt she lost the figure of the man who had been her best friend so far and a confiding friend who had always been a loyal listener.
I don't feel her tears running down her cheeks. He is very sad because lately he always avoids Eric after the incident the other day. He was afraid that Johan would suddenly come and make a scene.
There was a desire to call Eric but his number was no longer on the contact list on his phone. Many contacts were removed by Johan.
"Heyy, why daydream? Let's go home!" exclaiming Johan at the door of the room made Susi shocked.
Although it has been forbidden by the security guard not to enter the room because the time has come for employees to go home but Johan still forced because if there is another man who is with his lover so that he has not also out of the room, while the other employees have all gone home.
"Why not wait at the gate?" susi said with a sour face. He was ashamed of his friends because he often whispered when he saw Johan hurriedly enter the workroom.
"So you're mad if I come in and pick you up?" Johan asked back with emotion.
"It's not so," Susi said. He immediately moved from his seat and then came out so that the debate did not get longer which usually ended in a commotion.
Johan followed him from behind while grunting in annoyance.
