Kirana, Women of Desire
Chapter 10 - Lunch Together

Kirana went back into Jeffran's room after dropping off her business partner earlier. Instantly he felt nervous if he had to be in this room alone with the man, of course he was afraid that the man was doing things, like that time.

"Sir, is there any more business to call me back here?" Kirana asked slowly, she lowered her face not daring to look at Jeff.

"Gear at me, as I speak! I'm here, not downstairs." Strictly Jeff, made Kirana immediately look up his face, gathering his guts to look at Jeffran's face.

"I just don't like you being too friendly to strangers." Jeff replied flatly, making Kirana frown in wonder, what does this mean?

"-you mean? Isn't it my job to be friendly with clients, sir?"

"Only on the client, not on his assistant!" Firmly Jeffran with his sharp highlight, made Kirana's guts shrink instantly.

"Okay, my master understands." Kirana replied, although the woman did not know what the reason for her boss forbade her to be friendly to the assistant of Mr. Martin earlier, but she chose to obey rather than get angry.

"This is your bonus."

"Bonus again sir? Didn't I get a bonus yesterday?" Kirana asked in surprise, every week she kept getting bonuses, even this week getting those bonuses twice.

"You heard that Mr. Martin was very satisfied with the way you work, and thanks to you he was willing to invest heavily. Think of this as a thank you for your performance."

"All right, sir, thank you. If no one wants to talk about it. Excuse me first," Pamit Kirana, while Jeff just answered with a nod.

Kirana came out of Jeff's room with her bright smile, she stuffed the envelope containing the bonus money into his bag. Then he returned to his job as secretary.

Until it does not feel like time has shown lunch time, Kirana stretched her muscles that felt sore because she massaged too many computer keyboard keys.

"Kiran, would you like to eat at the cafeteria?" Ask Hanna.

"No, Han. Today I bring provisions, make ngirit." Kirana replied while showing her the container.

"Ohh yaudah, I'll go first. Do you want a nitip?" Tawar Hanna's.

"You want iced lemon tea, Han."

"Okay, I'll go there first." Kirana answered her with a nod, as she had already started to feed her lunch.

After Hanna's departure, Kirana ate quietly. Occasionally scroll his social media accounts, see a list of dramas that he has not watched.

"Ehem..." Deheman's voice behind her made Kirana turn her head, she smiled awkwardly then stood up from her seat, then bowed half her body.

"Yes, sir."

"You're not going to the cafeteria?" Ask Jeffran flat.

"I'm bringing supplies from home, sir." Answer Kirana briefly.

"Why? Is your bonus over?"

"No sir, who was there last week, let alone yesterday. But I saved her, just in case my mother's medicine ran out." Kirana replied, with an awkward looking smile.

"Eat with what? Is that your own cooking?" Jeff asked, as he turned his head towards Kirana's room.

"Yes, sir, just simple cooking." Answer Kirana lirih .

"May I taste it?" Jeff's question made Kirana glare. Did he not hear wrong?

"Why Kiran? Can't it?" Jeff asked, when Kirana did not answer his question.

"Bo-by sir," replied Kirana stammered.

Jeffran approached and sat down near Kirana, making the woman's heart dag-dig-dug unfavorable. The man prepared to take the spoon from Kirana's stockpile, but the woman hurriedly snatched it, making Jeff stare at the woman with a frowning frown in wonder.

"This spoon is my mark, I wash it for a minute." Kirana prepares to step foot, but her hand is checked by Jeff.

"Not Kiran, I ate your ex too gapapa."

"No sir, it's not polite. I'll wash it off." Jeff only smiled when he saw the woman running to the bathroom, only to wash her used tableware.

Before long, the woman returned with a spoon and fork that she had washed clean. He also wiped her with tissue before giving it to Jeff.

"Please sir, I'm sorry that my cooking doesn't suit your taste."

"Sit down Kiran, come eat with me." Kirana complies and sits next to Jeff who takes over his lunch container.

Jeff fed Kirana food and chewed slowly, he stared at the food container with wonder, simple but delicious cuisine.

"Why sir?" Kirana asked, worried that the food was not good.

"You cook it with what seasoning? It's delicious, Kiran."

"Like regular soup cook sir, it's just that I use a little mushroom." Kirana answered, her lips curled slightly upon hearing Jeff's praise of his cooking.

"Can you cook for me tomorrow?" Jeffrey asked seriously.

"H-ahh? Are you kidding me?"

"Did my face look like I was joking, Kiran?" Jeff asked back, making Kirana understand that his boss is serious.

"Can?" Ask Jeffrey again.

"Bi-sa sir can.." Reply Kirana.

"Good, what is this?" Jeff asked pointing at the potato patio in his one container.

"Perkedel mak potatoes."

Jeff took the parchment without hesitation and ate it voraciously.

"There's nothing lacking in your cooking, Kirana."

"What-what sir?"

"Sambel, less sambel." Jeff replied, then looked at Kirana who looked still awkward adjacent to her.

"Cambles huh? Aahh well, tomorrow I'll make a sambel too." 

"Hmmm.." Jeff just cleared his throat, because his mouth was full of parchments. 

"Do you have allergies?"

"I'm allergic to shrimp." Jeff replied, making Kirana goatee-beard. In fact, he planned to cook the shrimp sweet sour sauce for tomorrow, but when he heard that the man was allergic, he had to re-twist his brain, what cooking would not be too simple? Because of the cooking he will give to his superiors.

"Why? Let's eat again."

"Yes, sir." Kirana continued to eat her, because she was not yet full. Because some of his food was taken over by Jeff, including his parchment. He had not even tasted a single piece of the parchment, eehh even at Jeff's meal all.
