Circular letter regarding the new policy in force at Adiyaksa Holdings early in the morning has made a stir for all employees. The new rules will come into force in the next two days. For employees who have a romantic relationship with an office friend, they are given the opportunity to end the relationship in 2 days, otherwise one or both of them are forced to resign from the company. This new regulation is applied to keep the performance of employees to remain maximum.
However, the side effects of the new regulation even made some employees become upset and lost morale, he said, even until someone secretly cries in the toilet because his love story must run aground in the middle of the road again unfortunately.
This not only affects employees who have long established love, but also for those who have been caring for each other and just waiting for the right time to express love. For example, Bagas and Ruby.
Though only yesterday they both went for a walk together enjoying the weekend, not even the new rules appeared that made both upset and lost morale.
Ruby took out a supply box from inside the paper bag which she carried with a lethargic feeling. The new rules made her sad and she felt like crying. From the table of each Ruby and Bagas staring at each other, there is a sadness that appears on the faces of the two, but well, how else, they may not be created to unite.
Ruby ventured to walk closer to Bagas while carrying one of the two supply boxes she had under from the house. Yes, this morning Ruby cooked Bagas' favorite capcay as an expression of her gratitude because a few days ago when she was overtime, the man bought her dinner.
"What's this?" tanya Bagas curious. Somehow after they read the electronic circular that entered in their email box, the two became awkward when interacting.
"Bring lunch for you, sir." Ruby replied stiffly. If usually he and Bagas often joked, now it does not exist anymore. Some people are afraid to see and make others misunderstand.
"O-oh, thank you very much, Secretary Ruby," said Bagas no less awkwardly.
"Together, sir," replied Ruby, then slowly walked back to her desk.
Meanwhile, in his room, Aresh was laughing triumphantly when he saw the interaction of his assistant and secretary on a CCTV monitor. He was completely satisfied because his plan had worked.
"I will not let the arrogant girl be happy, even with Bagas," Aresh said.
Another in the other mouth in the heart, her lips said they did not want to see Ruby happy. But in his heart he felt that something was strange, but he did not know what it was.

"Secretary Ruby, what's my schedule today?" aresh asked Ruby as they were in the elevator about to go up to their room.
"At 10 a.m., there will be a meeting with the company's Green Heels chief, sir," Ruby replied.
"After that?" Aresh asked again.
"No more, sir, that's all."

A few hours later. Aresh, Ruby, and Bagas finally arrived at Green Heels, a shoe company that some time ago submitted an investment proposal to Adiyaksa Holdings as an investor. The arrival of the three was very well welcomed by the company's leader Green Heels. However, one thing that makes Ruby quite surprised, namely the head of the company turned out to be her last ex-boyfriend, who was, the ex-lover who once hurt Ruby so deeply that the girl shut herself down against any man for years.
Ruby did not think they could meet in this way, when she read the name of the head of the Green Heels shoe company, she thought their names were just the same, but different people. Apparently Ruby had mistakenly guessed.
"Ruby's? Is that you?" ask Ricko, Ruby's ex-lover who is now pangling with Ruby's appearance. Ruby who used to not know how to dress properly now looks more mature and more beautiful in her eyes.
Ruby didn't say anything to Ricko, the girl just smiled forcedly. Really, meeting an ex-lover who once hurt her is a bad day.
"Do you know each other?" aresh asked looking at Ruby and Ricko in turn.
"Yes, Mr. Aresh. We used to study at the same college" Ricko replied.
Hearing Ricko's reply, Ruby breathed a sigh of relief. Pffts. Fortunately Ricko did not say that they had been lovers for years.
