LOVATY 1.0
Miscomprehension
Arion stands right next to Ray and Calya's table. Greeting the two he accidentally met at the cafe.
“That's a coincidence,” said the man.
“True, what a coincidence,” replied Ray.
“Are you guys discussing work issues?”
“No, not a job problem,” said Ray casually.
“Oh, do I bother you?” Arion thinks you're something personal between the two.
“No, not such a thing,” Calya replied quickly, afraid that the situation would lead to misunderstanding.
“Calya just returned the items she borrowed,” Ray added.
“So apparently. Since we met here, why not just leave together. How's Miss Calya?”
“You two have an appointment?” ask Ray.
“Ya, with the Influencer Games,” replied Calya.
“Maybe you want to join us, after all this is our project together?”
“Of course, I would love to come along. But.. I also have a job,” Ray shows the screen of his phone where there is an incoming message there.
“Sweetest. All right then, we're leaving now Miss Calya?”
“Ya.”
Arion reached out his hand to Ray while saying goodbye.
“See you again.”
Ray stands up and shakes Arion's hand.
“See later.”
Calya noticed the look on the faces of the two men in front of her. Both of them were equally seen smiling thinly, but somehow the atmosphere looked unfriendly. ‘It feels like last time not like this?’ thought Calya.
Arion allows Calya to walk first, then she follows behind him. The two people finally left the cafe, accompanied by Ray's eyes that were relentlessly following them.
Calya and Arion are now in the car, on their way to the rendezvous. During the trip none of them spoke, almost half the way until Arion finally opened his voice.
“You and Ray seem close, do you guys have a relationship?”
“Not your business?”
“Or did you also take advantage of his personal problems? Must be one of them?”
Calya does not respond to Arion's remarks, hoping the man will stop talking. But his hope is empty.
“Do not - do not he is one of your important connections. What is the name of the appellation..sponsor?”
“If you want to keep talking nonsense, better put me down here.”
“Alright.. alright. I'm just curious, don't get angry - get angry so.”
That was the end of their only conversation in the car. Then there was silence between them. Until Arion's car stops at their destination. A star-rated hotel, in one of the halls there they will hold a meeting.
The two got out of the car, walking in tandem towards the reserved hall. When they arrived, some people were seen sitting waiting for their arrival. One of them is a young man that Calya met at the Mall the other day. The two of them immediately sat on the empty seats, with Arion taking over the meeting immediately.
“Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for taking the time to be here. My name is Arion, along with my company created the Sports World game. You must have heard it, because you are the people chosen to be our Game Tester. I also know your skills and judgment about a game. My purpose in inviting you here is to let you all prepare. Because the day you will try our game will be broadcast live from this place.”
***
Calya walked quickly after she escorted the influencer games away leaving the hall. The woman looked for the whereabouts of Arion who had first left the hall, right after she said what she wanted to say.
“Wait!”
Calya stops Arion before the man walks into the elevator.
“What was that just?”
“Why did you arrive - suddenly announce about the live broadcast?”
“Because I want it.”
“But why don't you discuss it first with us. Our job is to prepare all the necessary promotions.”
“Your job is to prepare all the necessary promotions, but I am a client here. I have the right to specify how and what kind of promotion to use.”
“I know. But shouldn't you discuss it with us before you announce it to them? There were a lot of things we had to prepare for that live broadcast. How will we prepare it suddenly?”
“I have prepared the place, the rest please take care of yourself. That's your job, right?”
The woman was running out of words to question the behavior of the man in front of her. As to themselves, disrespecting them and being selfish, that was what Calya thought of the man at this moment.
TING
The elevator doors opened, revealing two middle-aged men of several years of age standing there. The two men stepped out of the elevator. The gaze of the older man's eyes could not be separated from Arion's figure there, Calya realized. And as the woman turned to look at Arion, the man was also staring at the middle-aged man in front of her.
The man stopped right in front of Arion. Say a word slowly but sound firmly “Follow me!” said it. The two men walked away, followed by another middle-aged man behind him.
While Calya was still standing still in her place, her mind digested the voice of the middle-aged man she had heard just now. He felt he had heard it, but he needed to remember where he had heard it.
“What are you doing here? Who's that woman?”
“Why do you care?”
“Arion! I told you to stop making trouble! Look at all the mess you've done, and see what the bad effects are for the company. Did you never think about that!”
“Problems? The problem is that I'm not good at covering up what I'm doing, like you do. No. gabe. Actually I don't want to cover it up, because I don't want to pretend well like dad did.”
“Jaga what you said! How dare you talk to your parents like that!’
“Parents? Since when did you ever act as a parent. Except managing my life like a leader to a subordinate, I guess never.”
“KAU..”
“Pak, you better calm down. Here too many are looking.”
When the secretary gave him a suggestion, the man's anger subsided a little. He spoke again in a smaller voice.
“I'm warning you to stop doing things that will attract journalists. If not for Radhika Group at least do it for the smooth running of the project you are working on.”
“No need to teach me, I know how to take care of my work. Just concentrate on dad's job.”
“If you did know, you should now be in your office instead of wandering around the hotel with a woman.”
“Excuse.”
The father and son debate might re-peak if Calya doesn't come and interrupt them. Calya, who was standing at a considerable distance, stepped closer after feeling the attention of the men there.
“Sorry if I interrupt, I want to make sure there is still something I need to do here? Since the meeting was over and there was still something I had to work on,” Calya spoke with heart and heart as she looked towards Arion. Actually he did not have to go forward and interrupt the debate, but he really did not want to get involved in a misunderstanding. That's why he's there, doing something he's not used to
“Whose you?”
“Include, Sir. I'm Calya Shalitta from Parama Ad, and we just had a meeting for the game project.”
“There's nothing more you have to do, you can go.”
Calya slightly lowered her head before leaving the three men.
“I will also go, I still have a job,” Arion told his father. Without waiting for his father's response he immediately went from there.
“Pak Ben.”
“Iya, Sir.”
“Find out about the woman immediately.”
“Good, Sir.”
