My Mom Wants to Mate
41. Hunting Photographers

Daniel scratched his head and came out of the walk in closet.

"Cok not answered? Why sleep in a closet?" Karen repeated the question.

Daniel just looked at her flat and then took a shower.

Karen got ready and waited for Daniel at the dinner table. He gathered energy to get angry.

"Bi Sum, cook what?"

"Den Daniel yesterday asked to make cheese toast, eggs with sausages, Non. Please have breakfast, Non," Bibi Sum said as she passed on the other task.

"Thank you, Bi."

Looking at breakfast today, Karen's taste was stirred. Moreover, the sun was very bright making the mood so perfect. He sat down and began to enjoy the bread on which there was a lumeran of warm mozarela cheese and cow's eye eggs, plus a large, filling sausage. It was a perfect breakfast.

Not long after Daniel joined and enjoyed breakfast.

Karen looked at him sharply. But his good mood did not allow him to get angry this morning.

Akh, yes, by the way. (Karen).

"Niel, why buy a new mattress?"

"It's okay" he replied, briefly.

"I told you I would clean up. Not yet perfect me anything, you just play buy a new one. Yesterday I was so angry." Karen said in a casual tone, not sounding angry.

"Sorry."

"Well, yeah ...." Usually Karen doesn't just let go and will hunt until Daniel speaks. However, the warm mozarela cheese was able to make his mood good that morning.

Karen was smiling.

It's really good this is cheese. Hm. (Karen).

I don't think he wants me to be a jerk at all while pointing my face like a drunk last night. (Daniel).

Karen took a sip of her chocolate milk.

Along with that, a Chatsapp message went into Daniel's phone.

"Ren," call Daniel and show Karen the contents of the chat.

📱Haris: Niel, can I have Karen's mobile number?

"Please give me my number" he said as he finished his milk and stood about to go ahead of Daniel. "I'm leaving first!" Don't forget to kiss the back of her husband's hand.

Daniel gave Karen's mobile number to her brother and immediately left for the hospital.

"Our jerky boss is already a photographer yet? This content already needs illustrations, especially moringa tea products, because it wants to be exported so it must be HD and good picture."

"Patience, just yesterday. The studio was just yesterday. I've still got job arrears because of being left behind to manage a new studio." The image calmed his co-workers.

"Say dong to the boss, tell him to look for the photographer. A day, many people have entered the resume. Does anyone else meet the criteria?"

"Say yourself!" answer Citra.

"You, Cit, or Mother Inda. I'm afraid the boss is raging like a man in a trance."

"Now it's different, she's married."

Karen entered the office.

"Hey you two, I went in. Why did I go straight in? You talking about me again, huh?"

"No boss, hehe, yes boss, want to buy cup noodles first in the minimarket next door, bye bye."

"Bos Black Widow, the authors are really looking forward to image illustration, because export products need HD picture." Finally the image that became the tongue connector of the writers.

"Your God, I just placed an ad yesterday. From the resume that came in, nothing matched yet. Patience with napa! Want to make me stress more?"

"Eit eit Boss, don't go berserk. It just conveys aspiration. After all, many are asking for a spit as well."

"Hmm, yeah, I've just met the photographer soon. In the meantime, you're looking for non-watermarked images on the Tugel search engine huh, spirit!" Karen passed by and entered her room.

The image patted his own forehead.

That's right, so I'm the one who should be looking for the picture. Is it easy to find images according to the theme?! Non watermark anyway. The pictures are now given watermarks as big as gaban, you know! (City).

Karen sat down and turned on the laptop. He immediately checked the emails, looking through the job applicants.

Many provide a good portfolio, but do not have a camera. Some of the portfolio is not good, but have a camera.

Do I use a head hunter to find a photographer. Akh, how big is my company to use the services of a head hunter? (Karen).

📞"For Mrs Daniel," greet the man across the street.

Despite the phone call, Karen knew it was Haris.

📞"Morning. Harris huh? What's up, Ris?"

📞"I'm again looking at your website, again looking for a photographer huh?"

📞"Yep, you're right, man."

📞"I want a list, okay?"

📞"Huh? Um, bo-can. Just send a resume to the e-mail that is there."

📞"No way, I'll know the dalem."

📞"Oh yes? Who?"

📞"Yes you, the dalem at the same time have the highest position aka the boss. So how? May I register but I send my resume through Chatsapp's personal boss?"

📞"Ah yes, may. Uh, you're home from Spore?"

📞"Yes, today I got off at Koja International Airport. What if we meet at lunch time later on this?"

📞"Oh, um, I'll tell you again. I'd like a quick discussion with my assistant."

📞"OK, I'm waiting for the good news."

They ended the phone call.

Duh how, cook your ex will work here. Accepted, would be awkward. If it is not accepted, it will not be good. Hush, calm Karen, objective and professional. (Karen).

Haris sent her resume to Karen via Chatsapp. Karen looked at the photos and editing done by Haris.

"Hi, Boss Black Widow," said Inda who had just arrived. "Why did the image of his face get bent? Boss got mad at him?"

"No, I just told him to look for non-watermark HD images before we get the photographer."

"Jyah, just pantesan! Is there a match yet, boss? The bald head of Citra."

"Open the e-mail, help you choose!"

Inda immediately voted. Inda's opinion on the resumes was the same as Karen's.

"If I haven't been a match, boss. There is one that is interesting, the angle is good, but the image quality is not good. Want to try calling?"

"Call me."

"Not an interview at the office, boss?"

"Gini you know, this address is far from here. Let's call first. If for example there is synchronization, it is called. If not, pity him he's all the way here. Save time too, fast screening."

Karen doesn't want to trouble job applicants. He wouldn't have them send out a proposal in print because it cost a lot of money and caused too much paper waste, which Karen hated.

He also will not tell them to come all the way to the office if it is not appropriate. As an early stage of screening, she would check her resume and make phone calls.

"In-chat first, he's available for phone calls or not. Lest he take a shower or drive again, or again boker. Not funny phone calls while making a fuss."

"Hahah, jijay very boss of this."

Inda obeyed her boss's orders to send a message first. After confirmation, Inda called. However, the applicant has not entered the criteria sought.

"Bos heard himself earlier, he used a cell phone camera, boss."

Karen looked at Inda as she swept her lips, a sign of disappointment. She opened the Chatsapp app and checked her resume.

"If this one?" Karen handed her phone to Inda. "Try to see! How do you think?"

Inda looking through photos of Haris's catch.

"Well this is good, boss, clear and the angle is right. And most importantly, he's got his own camera."

Karen thought so too. However, he deliberately put Haris aside and put other suitors first.

Huh, what can I do. Haris's shots are good. But why, um why would he want to be a photographer here? What was his old job? (Karen).

Karen recalled the moment they met in the hotel lounge. He doesn't talk much about his work right now.

However, he had even just returned home from Spore. Why would he want to work in a small company like Karen's?
