Lyra's frown was staring at Axel in astonishment. Rigel's words make Lyra aware of Axel's unusual behavior every time Lyra is with a man. He also remembered the words of Daniel when he was separated.
"I want to ask you, Axel."
"What do you want to ask?" Axel asked furrowed his brows.
"Do you like me?"
Axel chuckles. "Of course I like you, it's not clear that you're my best friend. If I don't like you, I might want to be friends with you."
"That's not what I meant. Do you like me like Daniel used to."
Axel looked away at him. "Don't affect your boss's words. Do I look like what he said?"
"Hm, of course I can't believe what Rigel said. But it's just, I'm curious about your true feelings.
Axel then smiled while holding both shoulders Lyra. "I'm just worried about you. You came home late, and when a man picked up my phone, I became more and more worried about you. What if you were okay. That's why I'm waiting for you here."
Lyra was laughing. "How can you worry about me like my parents did when I was in school. If you come home late and find me meeting a guy, they'll definitely nag the guy I met just like you."
"Of course I'll be just like those who are just as worried. I'm your best friend who will be ready to take care of you at any time."
Lyra shakes. "I'm no longer a teenage girl, if you come home late you have to wait in front of the house like this. My parents weren't even like this anymore when I was my age."
"Even if they don't act like me who worries about you so much when you come home late. But I'll stay like this. Especially when you come home late for seeing a man. Because in this day and age men need to be suspected, men today can not be trusted. Take your ex-boyfriend Daniel."
Lyra laughed after hearing what her best friend said. "Your mind is really very stumpy, Axel." Lyra then removed Axel's hand from his shoulder. "Here you go, I better get in now. Do you want to see my parents first before you go home."
"No, it looks like they're asleep, I'm afraid to interrupt. I'd better just go home" Axel said as he scratched his nape.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next morning Lyra went to work. This time Lyra left earlier than yesterday, so that she was no longer late. It was quite a distance away, making him have breakfast on the bus. Lyra packed the bread her mother had prepared into the lunchbox.
Eating on the bus can not be wise when eating at home with his parents. Even so, Lyra had to stuff her stomach before she expended more energy. Unlike the old days whose job was more staring at a computer screen, and often relied on his fingers and brain. Not now that he spends more energy all over his body. Cooking needs to use energy and mind, especially if until Rigel asks Lyra to cook for him, the kakipun so more often move because it must also deliver food for Rigel to the top floor.
Arriving at the office building, all workers including Lyra are preparing to start their work. Cutting vegetables and meat, as well as preparing some spices that amounted to very much, is the beginning of workers who are in the cafeteria position.
While Lyra is at work, Rigel and Ryan suddenly come into the kitchen. Everything comes to wonder about a CEO who set foot in the kitchen. Because not usually a Rigel Callisto footed in the kitchen canteen. Never step on his feet, eat from the cafeteria he never did. Since Lyra's work, all the workers in the cafeteria have been surprised and astonished by Rigel's request for a meal from the cafeteria. And now it was just as surprised as Rigel who suddenly came to the kitchen.
"Do I have anything to help you with?" Tanya Susi approached Rigel.
"I just want to say, from now on Lyra only works for me" Rigel said.
"Didn't Lyra work for you. Preparing food for all workers in this office building includes working for you" said Susi astonished.
Sontak Lyra was surprised, he who was cutting vegetables was made to stop after hearing what was thrown Rigel.
"Why should I do that. If I only prepared meals for you, wouldn't the workers here be overwhelmed with less than one worker" Lyra said.
"What Lyra said. If we are short of workers, we will be overwhelmed. To prepare meals for all office workers whose numbers are quite large, we need a lot of workers" Susi added.
"If overwhelmed, then reopen the job vacancy. And ask HRD to announce a new vacancy for workers in the cafeteria. And about Lyra, let Ryan alone convey it to HRD," Rigel said.
"It is better to wait for new workers to be hired. If from now on I prepare a meal for you, the workers here will be overwhelmed by lack of energy" Lyra added.
"If you tell me to wait for a new worker, I'll wait. But on one condition, you have to stop working here."
Again Rigel threatened, with his high rank in the company, the threat of Rigel was able to make Lyra again afraid of losing her job. Lyra has to keep her job, even if feeding Rigel is the hardest thing. He who is very good at criticizing could have made Lyra continue to cook the same as yesterday. Even if yesterday was an act of revenge, it does not mean he will be satisfied with Lyra's cuisine for today and the next. If Lyra refuses, how about helping pay the repayments of her parents' debts. Moreover, the debt that his parents have is very fantastic. Forced Lyra also had to accept what Rigel wanted.
Lyra sighed. "Well I'll work for you. So you don't have to fire me."
As if feeling happy that Lyra was willing to prepare a meal for him, Rigel seemed to be smiling faintly. It was just that he looked like he was embarrassed to show it, he turned his face away from Lyra.
"Good, that's what I want. Later in the afternoon you just prepare a meal for me," he said, who immediately stepped away from the kitchen.
At about 10:30 Lyra just prepared lunch for the most annoying man. Slightly upset and angry, but Lyra needs to finish her cooking as well and as good as possible, so that Rigel is not disappointed and again told her to repeat the cooking.
"It would be too tired if it reached the most annoying creature on the face of the earth, to not like what I make this" inner Lyra.
By the time lunch hour had arrived, Lyra finished cooking and immediately delivered food to Rigel's room. Lyra's face looked sour when she had set foot in the room of the man she thought was the most annoying.
"Are you upset that I told you to work for me?" Ask Rigel without staring and just focus on signing some files on the table.
Lyra forced her smile. "Of course not. How could I be upset just because of this."
"It's good if you're not upset, then put the food on the table."
Lyra immediately put the food she brought to the table. After that, he stepped back to get out of the room.
"You don't have to leave until I finish the meal" Rigel said.
Lyra halted her steps, and turned back to face Rigel.
"I have to help the others in the cafeteria, if I wait for you to eat, they may be in trouble because there is no me."
"So I told you that from now on you only work for me" Rigel said.
