After attaching the application to the company where Nata works, the next day Lyra immediately received and just signed a work contract for one year.
PT Starlight is the company where Lyra works now, not as a marketing staff as before, but as a cook in the cafeteria. Just because she wants to get money soon, Lyra is willing to work in a place that is not in accordance with her last education. Lyra Miranda, who studied at one of the best universities in America, only got a job in the cafeteria at a large company. Not because I wanted to, but because I was forced by the situation. There is no patience to get the right job, if the situation is not possible.
At least the salary offered from the company where he works now, quite a bit large. Although not as big as before when he worked as a marketing staff.
The house and its contents have been sold to pay the delinquent debt of both parents in the bank. All that was left was her clothes and some personal belongings. And now, Lyra is back at her parents' house.

The distance from home to work is quite far, Lyra has to take approximately one hour to get there. And on her first day of work, Lyra was thirty minutes late. Lyra just came directly in suguhi nagging from Susi ma'am, she is the main cook and permanent employee in the cafeteria. Susi is the only permanent canteen worker without a contract like other workers.
Susi's hand folded over her stomach, a sour face in her show, and a pretty piercing speech in her throw for Lyra. Lyra could do nothing, all she did was bow down and apologize for the delay.
Susi was made to shake with Lyra who was late on her first day of work. "Today I'm sorry, because you're a new worker here. But for tomorrow, I don't want to see you back late."
Lyra nodded. "Good ma'am, once again I'm sorry for my delay."
"Well, for your duty today, you can help Jonah slice vegetables and cut meat."
In the kitchen there were four workers, two male workers named Yunus and Yoga, then two female workers named Erna and Nur. All the workers warmly welcomed Lyra's arrival. Previously Lyra was nervous and agitated when entering the kitchen, but fortunately her nervousness and uneasiness disappeared as all the workers greeted her warmly.
On the first day of Lyra's work, she was covered with many miles of vegetables and good meat in slices and slices. But fortunately Lyra was used to it, because she had often helped her parents at the restaurant. Lyra is not too surprised when she sees vegetables and meat that is quite a lot. Even if it was only done by Lyra and one of the male workers named Jonah.
"Oh yeah, from what I hear if you're a graduate of one of the best universities in America, is that true?" Yunus made a topic of conversation to just make a pleasantie so that Lyra did not feel awkward. Although actually Yunus did want to ascertain the truth of the newly educated employee.
"Yes, it's true."
Jonah was made not to believe what Lyra answered. All workers in the cafeteria are only increasing their highest education in SMK majoring in food, except for the susi bu which boosts their highest education at the university. Meanwhile, Lyra is a graduate of a leading university in America. How could Jonah believe in the education of Lyra if Lyra had taken a job in the cafeteria.
"As someone who graduated from one of the best universities in America, there is no way you want to work in the cafeteria. Unless what I hear is wrong" said Jonah.
"That's because I desperately need the money as soon as possible. Meanwhile, looking for a job that is in accordance with the education achieved, I can not find a vacancy in this city. Maybe because all the companies in this city are already full of workers, and do not need new or additional workers" said Lyra.
"I was very unexpected. But, why don't you wait for the companies to open vacancies. Or maybe you can find a job outside the city, is not it very dear if your education becomes useless when working here."
"I get vacancies outside the city, but if I work outside the city, I need supplies before I get accepted to work or before getting a salary. Meanwhile, my finances are currently unstable."
In the midst of Lyra and Jonah's conversation, suddenly a man came into the kitchen. All the cafeteria workers were astonished by the man, as the man came while covering half his face with a mask.
"Excuse me, I'd like to meet a new worker named Lyra Miranda."
Lyra raised her palm. "Hm, sorry. What do you need to do to see me?"
"Before I want to ask permission in advance to susi ma'am, that Mr. Rigel ask your new worker to prepare lunch for her later."
"But sorry, he's still a new employee here. Even before that he had no experience working as a cook. Would it be better for me to prepare lunch for him."
"Wouldn't the one who told you to accept Miss Lyra was Mr. Rigel. Maybe he told you to take Miss Lyra to work here, because she knows about Miss Lyra's cooking skills. So just believe that Miss Lyra's cooking won't disappoint her."
Susi's mom is letting out. "Hm, well, then I'll entrust Rigel sir's lunch to Lyra."
After that, the masked man left the kitchen canteen.
Lyra then approached Susi. "Sorry ma'am, who was this guy, and who was Rigel?"
"I think you know Rigel very well" said Susi, furrowing her eyebrows.
"I think I just heard his name now. And I don't have an acquaintance named Rigel," Lyra said.
"Pak Rigel is the CEO and heir to the company. And the one who delivered the message was his secretary, his name was Ryan."
Lyra was surprised after hearing it, she did not expect the man named Rigel was a big man in the company. Even Lyra also did not expect, that a CEO of the company where she worked asked to make food to Lyra who was just a new worker without having experience working in the field of cooking. Yes, although Lyra can cook and even Lyra has a certificate of cooking.
And what makes Lyra wonder, how can she ask for food made specifically by Lyra, even a Susi mom who is a cook and the main chef is not allowed to cook for her.
But Lyra doesn't care about who Rigel is, and what reason makes Rigel ask him to cook for her. All Lyra needs to do now is fulfill the task requested by the CEO named Rigel.
And since Lyra just got to work, Lyra doesn't know what to cook for her CEO's lunch. Lyra just immediately asked and asked Susi for advice.
"Sorry ma'am, because I was first asked to cook. I'd like to ask you for some advice on the luncheon I should make for Rigel sir."
"Actually during my time working here, he had only asked for food from the canteen for the first time. Usually he only eats dishes sent by his household assistant. Would you rather make home cooking for her."
"Hm, Okay. I think that indeed home cooking seems suitable for lunch Rigel sir. Thanks for the advice."
Lyra also immediately sorted out some cooking ingredients to make. And it just so happened that to be heading to lunchtime was still a long time, Lyra still had time to go back to help Jonah after he finished sorting out the ingredients for his cooking later.
However, just finished Lyra sorting out the ingredients, suddenly Susi mom called out to her.
Lyra went to Susi's mom in her room. "What's wrong mom?"
"Busan Pak Rigel called me, he asked you to make him food for him as soon as possible."
Lyra furrowed her brows. "It's only nine o'clock, and it's lunchtime or break time it's not twelve o'clock."
"But he told you to start cooking now. So, you better get started. Don't make him wait."
