IRIS BLUE
Chapter 26: Jealousy?

Elna stood in front of a brown door, hesitating to knock on it.Just her hand was about to knock, a woman came up to her."You're chef Elna?"Ask her politely."Aye." Yeah."Answer Elna briefly.

"Mother Freya was out, but she asked me to tell you to wait in her room."The woman who was the assistant manager of the new Iris hotel, who if Elna had not heard wrongly earlier she mentioned the name of the new manager with Mother Freya opened the door for Elna."Please chef."Elna slowly entered the room and greeted with a very beautiful decoration, she sat in the chair that has been provided."thank you much mbak."Elna said and was smiled back by Freya's assistant before she closed the door again.

Almost half an hour Elna waited for Freya in her room, until she appeared from behind the door with her face bent."Good day, Mother."Sapa Elna with respect.freya looked at Elna who was standing up, looking from head to toe."You're the chef in charge of pastry?"Ask while folding both hands on the chest."Yes, ma'am."

"You don't want to work anyway, he said professionally, but it's also my first day here, the client has complained with your food that is not good, but it's also the first day I'm here,can Iris choose and give you confidence to hold the pastry kitchen."Ketus.

"I'm sorry ma'am, in the future I will further improve my abilities again." Elna apologized while bowing her head."I want to meet your head chef, get him into my room right now."Freya's orders."Sorry ma'am, our head chef is on an outside assignment so while I'm going to replace him."Elna lies because she doesn't know where Rey is.

"You are amazing, soon lunch hour, you and the hotel head chef should be on standby in the kitchen.What the hell are you doing?! " Hardik.

Elna just bowed, wanted to fight but at this time she was insecure position, especially Elna did not know the personality of the new manager.While Freya berated Elna, Arka entered without knocking on the door first.

Arka stood staring at the very uncomfortable situation between two women who were facing each other.Freya stared towards where Arka was standing, his angry face turned cheerful by putting on the brightest smile possible.

"Why baby?"Freya approached Arka then wrestled spoiled on her arm.Longan Arka took off Freya's hand grip on her arm with eyes that could not be separated staring at Elna who was staring at him too."What are you doing here?"Said Arka."What do you mean, baby, this is the new room you gave me."Freya looked puzzled by Arka's question, her eyes looking towards Elna and Arka alternately."You, what are you doing here."Once again Arka asked and that was where Elna realized that the question was being addressed to her."Oh, that's."

"I called him."Freya answered Arka's question.Here Freya began to feel rivaled by the existence of Elna there, that's because Arka's gaze was so deep on the woman who was in the room with her."I mean why you called him."Arka's gaze turned to Freya, but Freya's really intimidating gaze.

"I rebuked her because a client complained about the dessert she made."freya looked back at Elna cynically."Go back to the kitchen, and remember wait for me we'll go to the hospital when we get home later that afternoon."Arka told Elna out of Freya's room, do not ask Freya's sharp gaze that could penetrate the body of Elna.Without answer Elna left Arka and Freya.There is no greeting or respect for the CEO and his manager.

"God how could Iris recruit employees who have no attitude like her."Freya vents her frustration by dropping Elna in front of Arka, but Arka looks unconcerned."Why are you looking for me?"Ask Arka after sitting his body on the sofa.Freya was looking for Arka into his room, but all he met was Denis sitting at his desk, working on various files that Arka threw at him.

"He who?"Freya seemed to not accept the Ark's treatment of Elna, because after her Ark had never been close to any woman, but today's events made her feel something strange, she said,arka's gaze when looking at Elna was like the gaze of someone who was in love.

"You don't need to know, if there's nothing you want to talk about I'll be back, my job is still a lot of Fre."Arka stood up then left Freya who was still silent trying to digest what had happened just now."There's no way she's Arka's lover, if that happens, watch it, I won't stay put." Inner Freya with a flushed face held back the anger.

By late afternoon, Elna was already preparing to go home.Rey who had just come to approach Elna."Wanna go home?"She asked and answered Elna with a nod of her head."Want me to drop you off?"Ask again and Elna's answer is still the same without a sound and only with a head bobble."You sariawan?"Elna twists her lazy eyeball then leaves Rey still wondering why Elna didn't answer when she asked."Hey wait."Shouts Rey."

"That should be me, why are you?from earlier every time I asked if I did not nod yes shook his head.Trus your mouth is useful for what?"Rey's starting to look pissed."I'm lazy to talk to chef Rey."Although his tone seemed angry but it was inversely proportional to his facial expression so Rey had to hold back from laughing at the anger of Elna.

"Sit here, if you say that don't be half."Rey called Elna who had walked far enough from where she was sitting.By forced Elna back closer."You're what's wrong?how angry is that?"Rey lowered her voice."Hhhhhh...chef where the hell is that from?I got spray-painted with the new manager's mother."Finally Rey understood the problem that made Elna angry at him."I'm sorry.So I have some business outside."

"Actually this is not purely the fault of chef Rey, that's because there are our guests who complain about my dessert that is not good, but it must be chef Rey there and accompany me,at least as a superior must defend his subordinates, right?"Elna said to me."What room did you say your food was bad?maybe he was exposed to covid to suffer from taste distortion until your homemade dessert who always spoil the tongue in say not delicious."Bright Rey.

"Hhhhhh, not like that chef, I have visited the guest in his room and it turns out that the guest is my best friend.He only pranks me because he says it is very difficult to meet me."Elna was frustrated, but after hearing Elna's explanation instead of sympathizing with Rey instead laughed out loud."H.ha.ha...."Her tears came out so funny.

"Your friend is weird, but I love that crazy idea."Elna hits Rey's arm, she doesn't accept in the banter by her head chef's it."Chef Rey this is what the hell.."

Their familiarity is seen from outside the kitchen whose doors are not tightly closed.And it makes a pair of netra hazel who stand while looking at the interaction of the two seem unacceptable with what is happening inside there.Elna that looks so being familiar with her sister made her eyes ache.

"Hurry out, I'm tired of waiting for you!!"
