My Cutie President
[MCP] CHAPTER 5

"Zepha".

The voice shocked Zefa as she was covering her face with her palm. He was surprised to see someone smiling in front of him.

"Oh, Hoejang-nim". Zefa rushed up from her seat and saluted Hoejangnim, the owner of Star's Holding Group, or rather the father of Choi Sajang.

"Why do you look so sad?". Hoejang-nim exclaimed putting both hands in his pants pocket.

"Ehh... Eng, ingga Hoejang - nim. I don't what what". Zefa looked very nervous.

"You're obviously not okay". Hoejang-nim said with a smile.

"Yes, I don't deserve to know, do I? Keep the spirit up". His support encouraged Zefa.

"Oh yes. Woo Shik is there?". Ask.

"Sorry Hoejang-nim". Zefa said lethargic.

"Choi Sajang is inside". Continue Zefa with a smile.

"good. I entered yes. Must be Zefa's spirit". Hoejang-nim is famous for his gentleness, he is really very good and attention to all his staff.

Zefa nodded, then let out a long sigh after Hoejang-nim walked into Choi Sajang's room.

"Same son Daddy is equally good, just as sincere and never looked down on his employees. It must be cold for his family".

Zefa spoke to herself while tidying up the table which was actually tidy. This morning Zefa did look uninspired and like she was confused. I don't know what makes it like this.

Zefa regained her focus after drinking water and she started doing some work while waiting for the meeting.

"Heart, Appa".

"Yes".

Zefa immediately raised her face after hearing the conversation between her parents and her child.

"Zefa I say yes. Gotta be upbeat, don't keep sad". Hoejang-nim smiled and said goodbye to Zefa while walking out of the room.

"Good Hoejang-nim. Heart on the road". Zefa said with a smile.

Looking at Zefa and her father who looked like they were very familiar, Choi Sajang approached Zefa while frowning.

"When have you been so familiar?". Ask Choi Sajang.

"I was confused as to why Hoejang-nim would know my name. This is the first time I have met him directly". Sahut Zefa smiled at his boss.

"If it's a name, it's me who tells you. But why Appa can I say that you're sad?". Choi Sajang.

"Ah yes! When I arrived, you seemed to have no spirit at all. You why? If there's something to tell, don't know what the story is". Continued Choi Sajang who arrived his style of speech became more relaxed.

"Not really Sajangnim, I just lack sleep. Not what is it". Zefa kept smiling trying to look good.

"OKs. Then let's have a meeting to start soon". Said Choi Sajang who was ready for the meeting.

Zefa and Choi Sajang rushed to the meeting room.

And again, as Zefa walked down the corridor after corridor of the office to the meeting room. His eyes returned to some people who were busy working but instead took the time to look at the cynical Zefa who was walking behind Choi Sajang.

Yep. They were the ones who gossiped yesterday and cursed and denigrated Zepha. Although Zefa did not realize it but yesterday's events could have been the main reason why he lost his spirit today.

"Maybe this is what makes me excited, ****!". Zefa muttered in her heart.

Meeting is starting.

"good. I hope you can always be excited to work harder and always give your best for Stars Holding. From me, thank you".

After a few moments of the meeting Choi Sajang ended the meeting this morning, it was a sign that the meeting was over. Zefa has finished tidying up some files that have been used by Choi Sajang. The two are now on their way back to their room.

Zefa arrived at her work zone, while Choi Sajang did not go straight into her room but accompanied Zefa who was tidying up the meeting file.

"Oh. Can I help you again Sajangnim?". Zefa cried after realizing that the boss was still watching him.

"No. I'm just confused what to do, there's no more schedule, right after this?". Choi Sajang said with a smile.

"Yes Sajangnim, today there is only one meeting". Zefa Sahut.

"OKs". Choi Sajang sighed.

"Come on Zefa, come with me". Reciprocity.

"Where's Sajangnim?". Ask Zefa.

"Not far away". Sahut Choi Sajang's.

"Come". He said, then walked out of the room followed by Zefa who rushed to pocket her phone.

***

"This is a cafe that has always been the final goal if I am confused about what else to do in free time like now".

Choi Woo Shik and Zefa have arrived at the cafe owned by Joddy, Choi Woo Shik's closest friend. They stepped into the cafe while looking for a seat with a good spot.

"Hey you bro!".

There was a loud voice of Joddy greeting Choi Woo Shik from a distance. Look Joddy's face is very happy with the arrival of his best friend.

"It's so arrogant that you've never been here". Joddy yelled while patting Choi Woo Shik on the back.

"Busy already. Emang lo every day his work coffee continues, not work!". Choi Woo Shik said with a laugh.

"I'm a coffee man, man! What else am I doing besides coffee? There's none". Joddy laughed as well.

"Eh this?". Joddy asked after realizing Zefa's whereabouts.

"Oh yes. This is Zefa, my secretary". Obviously Choi Woo Shik introduced Zefa.

"Hello Zepha". Joddy greeted Zefa with a smile.

"Hello". Sahut Zefa who returned the smile of the cafe owner.

"This is Joddy, my only friend in Indonesia". Obviously Choi Woo Shik introduced Joddy to Zefa.

"Zefa, if you don't accidentally see any silly behavior from Woo Shik, don't be surprised. Because he's like his son". Joddy suddenly humbled Choi Woo Shik.

"What the hell is Jodd! Yes if I'm silly it's because of the same fear you. The bad effects of being friends with silly people". Choi Woo Shik laughed as he interrupted his hair with a finger.

"It's not strange that Woo Shik is kind of like that". Joddy once again tells Zefa about Choi Woo Shik's true attitude.

"Udah already! My coffee is rich. Hurry along!". Said Choi Woo Shik while slowly pushing Joddy's hand.

"Lo doang?". Joddy.

"Eh sorry! Zefa what do you want?". Choi Woo Shik gives Zefa a menu book.

Zefa picked up the menu book and started choosing what she wanted.

"Lo didn't choose the wrong thing". Joddy whispers in Choi Woo Shik's ear while Zefa is busy choosing food.

"Lo can tell you later Jodd, if he hears I'm not feeling well". Choi Woo Shik also whispered while giggling.

"Udah hurry!". Joddy.

"What a hurry, it's not clear!". Choi Woo Shik with his voice that began to grow, making Zefa look at him.

As Choi Woo Shik confirmed his position, he was nervous and afraid that Zefa would hear his conversation with Joddy.

"That's a quick makein". Choi Woo Shik expels Joddy as a distraction from Zefa's fearful speech.

"Yes!". Said Joddy who then brought his menu book and immediately left to prepare orders for Choi Woo Shik and Zefa.

Choi Woo Shik and Zefa return to silent mode. Silence re-energized their meeting this afternoon.

"Gue's sure Zefa's no good anymore".

Choi Woo Shik muttered inwardly as he occasionally glanced at the silent Zefa while staring at the empty table.

"Zepha". His call resuscitated Zepha's daydream.

"Yes Sajangnim?". Sahut Zefa immediately realized and gave a smile.

"eeehh. I'm sorry, maybe I as your boss is too stiff or not as humble as you imagine that makes you too awkward when you're with me". Choi Woo Shik.

"Seeing you since yesterday is like no spirit, for some reason. Obviously if it's because of my behavior, I'm really sorry". Reciprocity.

"And... From today I ask that there be no more contact between us. Relax, consider me your friend. For the convenience of both of us. You're comfortable I'm comfortable, so it's better working together". Choi Woo Shik.

"Ehh. Do you understand what I mean by Zefa?". Choi Woo Shik asked.

Zefa smile.

"Sorry Sajangnim, since yesterday I was not focused. There's one thing that... A little bothers me". Zefa.

"And if the matter is awkward I think it is natural for Sajangnim, because we just worked together so yes still in the adjustment stage. Slowly it can be more relaxed really, especially Sajangnim is very humble. I'm sure our cooperation will be much better in the near future". Clearly Zefa with a smile reassures Choi Woo Shik that his condition is not because of him, but something else.

"Once again my attitude like this is not because of Sajangnim and I am sorry if my attitude today just made Sajangnim so upset or whatever, I am sorry". Reciprocity.

"Thank God if it's like that and you don't have to apologize, just by returning the spirit, I'll be much more grateful to you". Choi Woo Shik.

"Then start tomorrow..".

"Ah no! From this moment on if you're still awkward with me, you're not allowed to take a day off until you really can relax more with me". Choi Woo Shik smiled at the consequences that will be given to Zefa.

"Sajangnim". Zefa sighed then smiled as she shook her head slowly.

"I'd be very happy if you could be more relaxed, more relaxed at work but still at the proper formal level". Choi Woo Shik.

"Good Sajangnim. I will prove that I can be more relaxed than Sajangnim thought". Said Zefa while holding back a laugh.

Choi Woo Shik laughed with his adorable narrow eyes. Zefa, run! let's laugh at your Sajangnim cariin. Hehe...

"Kok Sajangnim laughed?". Zefa smile.

Choi Woo Shik was silent for a moment.

"That smile...". Choi Woo Shik said in his heart.

It was not long before Choi Woo Shik was smiling while whispering in his heart. Joddy came with his order.

"Zepha. You must be careful if Woo Shik has been silent while smiling like a gini". Joddy's exclamation arrived, making Zefa confused.

"Jinjja ah!". Choi Woo Shik woke up from his daydream and immediately grabbed Joddy's hand, which was now sitting beside him.

"What's going on here?". Ask Choi Woo Shik.

"Gue can't join? Usually when you come here we talk". Joddy.

"Oh yes, yes sorry. Sorry very sorry. Excuse me". He seemed to know what his best friend wanted.

After Joddy left.

"Sir Joddy is that the guy?". Zepha asked a little doubtfully.

"Yes, he's a little bit like that? He's a little silly, but he's really nice". Choi Woo Shik describes his best friend.

Zefa laughed as well as Choi Woo Shik who was carried away.

Different from before when Choi Woo Shik and Zefa had lunch together at the restaurant. At that time the atmosphere was really quiet until the dishes were swept clean there was no laughter like today. Maybe true, said Zefa, they just need time to adjust to each other in order to wake up good chemistry.

Today, slowly they can laugh together in their free time that they use to enjoy coffee.

***

"Lo why the hell? From this morning, scowl! What's the matter? Usually my same story". Nayra.

This afternoon Zefa was with Nayra in the office lobby, waiting for another friend to come for lunch.

But Zepha's attitude is still the same as this morning, making Nayra wonder and curious about what happened to Zepha to make him look sad.

Zefa was silent for a while and made Nayra even more curious.
