My First Night With My Boss
29. It Can't Be Reached

His heart can not deny if Lyra can not accept if Rigel must be betrothed, especially the woman in his match is his own best friend. But her mouth and mind said something else, Lyra doesn't care if Rigel has to have another woman. Lyra is not her official lover. However, his heart was too encouraging him to still disagree with what he thought. A very unlikely status for Lyra to have a man like Rigel Callisto. And if indeed Rigel can be owned, what blessing can also be owned by Lyra who is just an ordinary woman.

"Do I look like I care? I don't care who you're getting married to and what woman you're getting married to" said Lyra, who turned around and immediately stepped on her feet. "I'll wait for you to finish eating out."

"Who told you to wait outside" Rigel raised his voice.

Lyra's steps stopped, she settled herself without turning to look at Rigel. "No one told me to, but this time just let me wait for you outside." Lyra again stepped her foot out of Rigel's room and stood behind the door with a sad look on her face.

Lyra kept silent while bowing her head, to make Ryan astonished to look at the pretend lover of his superior.

"It looks like Mr. Rigel hasn't finished his meal yet, why are you out of his room. Are you all right?" Ryan asked, furrowing his brows.

Lyra looked at Ryan and forced her smile to cover her face. "I just want to wait for him here. Shouldn't I be waiting here."

"I don't think so. Do you feel inferior after yesterday knowing if Mr. Rigel is in a match with your friend."

"I do feel inferior, because I am just a woman whose standards are far below Agni's. But I don't care, I'm not who Rigel is anyway. I'm just a worker who was given the job of preparing a meal for him."

Ryan shook his head while breathing out. "Do you want me to tell you something?"

"Tell me what?"

"Sir Rigel actually likes you."

Lyra chuckles. "Where do you know if Mr. Rigel likes me. He can't possibly like a normal girl like me."

Then suddenly Rigel opened the door while carrying his dirty glasses and dishes.

"Maybe it could happen" Rigel said, holding out the dirty glasses and dishes to Lyra.

Lyra then grabbed it. But after he reached it, Rigel quickly closed the door again.

"I can't believe he likes me. Maybe he just wants to play me, because maybe he can no longer reach the first love that has been in his dream for so long" Lyra told Ryan.

"What if the woman he wants to reach is you."

Lyra immediately swallowed her saliva. "Are you sure?"

"Then how about you, can you be sure that you don't really like it."

"Of course." Lyra turned her face away, then immediately went back to the cafeteria.

What Ryan said was very confusing, but it also made Lyra a little surprised. Moreover, with Rigel's words that like giving a code, that he can accept Lyra whose status is just an ordinary woman.

Before long Lyra reached the canteen, suddenly the secretary of Sandy Callisto came to him.

"Are you really Lyra?"

"You're being asked by Sandy to come into her room right now."

After being asked to go to Sandy's room, Lyra immediately went to the president's room. But somehow, it feels like Lyra seems nervous when she has not reached the room of the man who has the highest position in the company. He walked with his heart beating fast enough. Feeling uncomfortable, Lyra seemed anxious and afraid of what would happen after meeting the father of Rigel Callisto.

And when she got there, Lyra got even more nervous. His head bowed and Lyra did not stop sighing.

"Yesterday my granddaughter told me that Rigel had a lover named Lyra. Then I found out the woman named Lyra. And after finding out, it was you, "Sandy added with a cynical look.

"I am not her lover. I'm just a person who was hired specifically to prepare a meal for him."

"Are you sure you're not my son's lover? Or you lied because you told Rigel."

"I'm not lying, you can ask Rigel directly."

"Yesterday he denied me and said that he did not want to be paired with Agni because he had other women in his liking. I hope it's not you."

Lyra's heart felt tight after hearing it, she was downcast while holding back her tears. Without looking at Lyra and then saying. "I'm also not sure if Mr. Rigel likes me. I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"I think it is. Oh yes, Agni refused me to be hired in the marketing division. And he wants to keep working in the kitchen preparing meals for employees. I think it's better for you to exchange tasks with Agni, so from now on who prepares meals for my son is Agni."

"If that is your will, as a worker I can only obey."

"Well, you can get out of my room right now. Sorry to bother you."

Lyra walked away from Sandy's room with a sad look on her face. His words really made Lyra's heart hurt. Lyra could not resist Sandy's wishes, even though Lyra actually did not want to exchange positions with Agni. However, Lyra is only an employee who must obey the will of the boss.

...****************...

After the office, Lyra cried all night until the morning her eyes looked swollen. Lyra became lazy to go to work when she saw her face in the mirror look messy. Despite repeatedly washing his face, his eyes still look swollen. Lyra also abandoned her intention to go to work, especially today Lyra is no longer preparing food for Rigel. Lyra is getting lazy to go to the office. Lyra asked Susi for permission to take a day off from her job.

All day at home, Lyra just kept quiet in the room with her own face. Lyra couldn't stop thinking about the man she couldn't possibly reach. After meeting Sandy yesterday, Lyra became convinced that she really liked Rigel. The proof is that Lyra is not willing to change tasks with Agni. Lyra also can not let Rigel in a match with his best friend. However, Lyra hopes to be in Agni's position, the hope will remain dashed if there is no blessing. Moreover, Lyra is not sure if Rigel also has the same feelings as her, before Rigel actually expressed his feelings for Lyra.

Then in the afternoon, Rizwan came to the room carrying a sheet of paper. He showed the sheet of paper to his only daughter.

"There's something strange about the debt my father owes me. Suddenly the debt that my father has paid off, when I was about to pay the monthly bill in the bank. Did you know that the debt that my father owed was not two billion but five billion?"

"Of course I know why you lied to Axel and Benni that the debt you have is only two billion" Lyra said.

"Dad was forced to lie because he did not want to make Benni worried. Dad claimed to have a debt of two billion, he had intended to help even though the financial situation was difficult. So I had to lie to refuse his help."

Lyra furrowed both her eyebrows staring at the paper stating that the debt her father had paid off. "This much debt who can afford it, I doubt if Benni paid it. While she's not like she used to be."

"Is it possible that Rigel, even if he's a rich man, he doesn't have to pay his father's debt." Rizwan. "Did he think that after paying my debt, he'd get my blessing right away."

What Rizwan thinks is the same as what Lyra thinks. Because who else can afford the fantastic amount of debt that his father has except Rigel.
