My Own Life
Episode 11
After dinner, Irene and Larry returned to their room. "Hey, Larry. Can you bring back my tablet? I wanna know what activity for us tomorrow" Irene said, raising her hand. Ask the tablet back.
Larry sighed softly and gave Irene's tablet back to its owner. Irene checks her tablet, especially messages about her duties and Larry's duties tomorrow. After reading the message Irene massaged her forehead slowly.
"What's wrong?" larry asked confused. "It was nothing .We just do our job like always. But, tomorrow I think I will come late to home." replied Irene with a heavy sigh. "Why?" ask Larry marketing. "I have to help our CEO to get some meeting tomorrow." replied Irene quietly.

The next day, PT. Effendi, 09.00
"Are you ready for a meeting?" ask mr. Effendi. "From the beginning I was ready. Only, this time I really ask for help to replace me with your secretary in this meeting. If it is just a meeting with employees of this company I can. But, this time you carry out meetings with 90% of large companies in Indonesia. With a very heavy heart I can not follow this meeting." explained Irene firmly.
"What's your excuse?" ask mr. Effendi. "You will know later when the meeting has taken place" said Irene calmly. If mr. Effendi realized, he should feel familiar with Irene. In addition, Irene has made a backup reason so that she does not participate in meetings as a companion mr. Effendi later if if the first reason still makes him kekeuh to make Irene join the meeting.

PT. Effendi, meeting room, 15.05
In accordance with Irene's conjecture, mr. Effendi would be surprised by the reality he just knew. Because, actually, Irene was invited to a meeting held at PT. This effendi. How's mr. Effendi was not surprised. Irene represented Lovist International Company as CEO. In fact, he came without the assistance of his secretary.
"Thank you for inviting Lovist International Company to this meeting. I'm Lucia Irene at once, the CEO of Lovist International Company represents directly to attend this meeting" Irene said calmly and impressed with dignity.

After the meeting, Irene immediately threw her body into the bed. "Huaa.... It's so tired. What's an annoying man!" Irene said while sighing harshly. "What man?" larry asked confused. You won't believe this. Argha! I hate to go to that meeting!?" said Irene while rolling on her quenn-size mattress. "Why?" ask Larry curious.
"Heah... You will know if you are in there. But, I really hate to explain it." said Irene while changing her sleeping position to be stretched out on her mattress. "It's up to you if you don't want to explain it. But, stop to punch your bed." said Larry flat. "Oh yeah, are you busy in here when I was meeting?" Irene asked curiously. "Not really." retorted Larry while shrugging his shoulders at a glance.

"Hey, Larry. Alice was in here. You want to meet her or no? I have to go somewhere" said Irene calmly. "Where is she?" larry asked in shock. "Oh, I told her to wait in Starbucks, at Beomi Kedaton Mall." replied Irene casually. "I will meet her" said Larry immediately took the keys to his motorbike and went to the Beomi Kedaton Mall to meet Alice.
Irene just shook her head to see Larry who was so excited to meet Alice. After Larry died, Irene was soon both to leave. Not to forget, he also pulled out his room card and gave it to the receptionist in the lobby. Irene went to her house to get a car. I don't know why, he got bored at the hotel. He also brought his black BMW and went to his parents' place.
The car Irene brought.

Irene's parents' house, 11.00
"Where's mami, pi?" Irene asked puzzled by the state of the house that only her father was. "Biasalah, in the cafeteria." replied his father with a small smile. "Have you left for the college?" ask Irene again. "That's from this morning, Ren." replied his father casually.
"Ren, how will Koko work?" ask her father for an opinion. "Yes... I don't know. I used to take cocoa in my office. But it depends on his skill. I do not want to have employees who do not have skills, males-malesan, and no work results. Even if it's sodara myself I will remain firm. I don't want it just because of one person, trouble can get to one office." Obviously Irene was firm.
"If so, try to help me find a job" said his father slowly. Irene breathed a little too slowly. "I can help Koko. But not pi. I don't want to. Koko should be able to do it on her own. Time to be helped? Lose to me. I built a company of this size with my own business, own capital, and my own will without any interference from others you know, pi masa, so people want to succeed but be helped. Just a lie." Irene smiled faintly.
For a moment, his father was silent. He thought carefully about Irene's words. Not because of pride but, Irene wanted to see her brother succeed with his own efforts not for help from him even if only a little. Seeing her silent father, Irene also kept quiet. Letting his father think of his words in silence.

At 12:35 Irene decided to end her visit to her parents' house. Irene continues by going to Gita's parents' house because, incidentally, Gita was at home at the time.

"Wey, Gita. Want to walk by car? I want to take a walk. But, you permission first to ortu lo sono. He came home a little late. Tell me I'll take you to dinner together." said Irene relaxed. Irene was planning to have dinner together. Not only with Gita, Irene even invited her whole family to eat together. In fact, no kidding, Irene invited them to eat at Eat Boss!
One of the most expensive restaurants in Bandar Lampung. And Irene had already booked 3-5 tables for all of them. In fact, Irene also invited Ko Ashung, Acek Ahan, and Acek Ates to eat together at Eat Boss.
Fortunately, they all did not ask much when Irene invited them to eat together at Eat Boss. Currently, Irene is playing Timezone at Beomi Kedaton Mall with Gita. Irene sees Larry and Alice busy talking at Starbucks but Irene doesn't interfere with their privacy. Irene knows that Larry likes Akice. Therefore, Irene deliberately asked Alice to wait at the Starbucks Mall Beomi Kedaton. After all, Alice seemed pretty happy with Larry's whereabouts.
