NOT Second Lead
Trying Again

Alexander hit his steering wheel when he saw Rihana and his friend had entered the elevator. The elevator doors were closed when the car entered the basement.

Alexander looked at his phone again. Rihana still hasn't activated it

Alexander breathed a rough breath.

At eight o'clock he'll be meeting at this company. There's still an hour left.

Alexander again breathed a rough breath.

Stuffy.

He also loosened his tie a little.

Still in the face of his phone until then his phone vibrates. Herdin called.

"Where's lo?"

"Gue in the basement Om the Council."

"Okay, I'm there."

The phone was dropped by Herdin.

Half an hour later.

TOK TOK TOK

Alexander woke up from his sleep.

Herdin's face seemed to be smiling behind his opened window by a third.

He closed his car window and went out to meet Herdin who immediately poured him coffee in a hot paper cup.

"Thank's" he said, receiving coffee from Herdin's hand.

"The same," replied Herdin with a smile and a mocking look at the look of his best friend.

"Lo why?" tanya Herdin after sipping his coffee.

Alexander did not answer, he chose to sip his coffee, again and again.

Herdin just smiled. Only one can make Alexander upset and disheveled. Definitely Rihana.

Herdin chose to sip his coffee again. He doesn't need an answer.

"You think if there's a woman who doesn't read the chart, doesn't pick up the phone, is she really angry?" alexander asked at last.

"Maybe." A slanted smile rose on his lips.

"His girl Rihana, must be angry again" he added.

I heard Alexander's breath.

"Gue's done a bad thing, '" Then the story slid last night out of his mouth.

Herdin looked at her suspiciously

"Don't tell me you like Aurora, "Aherdin accuses her with a sharp look. His heart was a little bit broken.

"If you're there, I'll send Aurora to you" replied Alexander calmly, meaningfully.

Herdin.

"Sorry," he said again sipping his coffee.

After her mom and dad, now her best friend thinks the same. Presumably that was also what was in Rihana's mind

He obviously made a fatal mistake.

"I guess I can still be forgiven, right?" murmured Alexander, then sip again the rest of his last coffee.

Herdin did not answer.

It's a little heavy, her mind. He who is this close can be prejudiced. Especially Rihana. Her feelings are even more subtle because she is a woman.

"It's better that lo rapiin lo clothes, then again we want to meet," said Herdin reminded.

He picked up Alexander's empty paper cup, then headed toward the nearest garbage can to dispose of it.

Alexander immediately tidied up his shirt, tie and suit by looking at his reflection in the rearview car.

"Okay, come on," he asked as Herdin approached him.

Herdin simply smiled as he followed her.

"Rihana, you will attend the meeting, yes," said Ms. Zerina could not be denied. He was quite aware of Rihana's intelligence above average. Reports and slides made are always satisfying and contain admiration.

Rihana. He was the only junior officer who was brought to the meeting. The other two are senior officers. Aya and Bang Hamka.

"Good, mom."

"Great of you, Rihana. Congratulations yes," exclaimed Winta and Puspa who immediately approached Rihana after Bu Zerina entered his room.

Rihana just smiled faintly.

Winta and Puspa helped him gather the files for the meeting.

Not long after that, Zerina walked out of her room.

"Come on," he asked Rihana. Brother Aya and Bang Hamka were already standing waiting for them.

"I yes ma'am," said Rihana rather groggy.

"Silent. You certainly can," said Winta encouragingly.

"Yakin, Ri," said Puspa with a happy face, helped encourage

Rihana could only reply with a smile before leaving. Because Aya's sister is waiting for him. While Bang Hamka had already walked in tandem with Bu Zerina in front of them.

When we got to the meeting room, there were already a few people. Rihana was surprised to see Daiva's sister there. The kind-hearted woman waved her hand and smiled faintly when she saw him.

"Do you know Ms Daiva?" ask Aya Kak wonder.

"Mrs Daiva?" somewhat.shocked as well Rihana, he felt like he had made a mistake.

"He's a financial manager. One level is with Bu Zerina," continued Kak Aya again.

Oh, my gosh.

Rihana became even more unwell when she heard it. Moreover, Daiva Kak all this time who always caught him crying.

Fortunately, she never vilified her boss, Ms. Zerina and her friends. Rihana exhaled a relieved mafas.

"Bu Daiva never let me know when I run into the study, sister," lied Rihana forced.

"First time to the company, yes," Kak Aya guessed with her smile.

"Yes," replied Rihana terpsksa continued to lie.

It's late, how else.

Not long after that Mr. Dewan and his daughter came in. Their focus is directly on the right arm that is wrapped around a bandage quite long.

"Why arm?" ask Kak Aya slowly. There was a sense of kasian in his eyes.

Rihana did not answer.

And his heart beat violently when he saw Alexander also entering the room with Herdin.

They sat next to Aurora. Herdin Actually.

Alexander had not realized that Rihana had also come.

The meeting was held. With Kak Daiva and his team starting out, the financials for the big projects their company and clients will be working on.

Rihana was amazed to see it. Daiva's sister looked good at answering questions.

Finally it was their turn to arrive as well. Ms. Zerina, Bang Hamka and Kak Aya are very competent to explain. Sometimes Bu Zerina asks Rihana to answer the question. It seems that the team trusts Rihana enough.

Fortunately, Rihana answered quite smoothly.

The board stared in admiration. No doubt, the girl was very smart. If Zerina trusts him to attend meetings, even giving him the opportunity to respond to their client's questions, it means he is a reliable fresh graduate.

Aurora looked at Rihana cynically. Now he knows where that girl doesn't know.

Being invited to all meetings, Aurora scorned in the heart. And his heart slipped when he saw the full stare of Alexander.

Aurora wanted to protest because of Herdin sitting next to her. Because he wanted Alexander. But the man instead invited Herdin to be beside him.

Alexander was troubled by Herdin's reluctance on his arm which was done many times. He simply listened without needing to see the speaker. His feelings were also again heavily chaotic.

But when he heard Rihana's voice, he suddenly raised his head. Search for origin of sound. A smile appeared on his lips. Only then did he realize why from earlier Herdin nudged him nonstop. Apparently Herdin had already seen it.

Although the girl did not want to see it, but Alexander was already quite happy to see its existence. Alexander was like looking at his Zira High School time. His smart and good zira argued.

As soon as the meeting was over, Alexander immediately got up, about to approach Rihana

But the sound of Aurora's complaint bothered her a little. He also glanced at Herdin who understood the meaning.

"Sorry, um. I first," said Alexander when he saw his Zira was almost leaving the meeting room.

"Oh yes," responded the Council who was looking at the situation of his daughter who had complained of pain.

The council stared at Alexander's wryness with a feeling of wonder. Though said his daughter and mama Alexander, that night Alexander was very worried and pay attention to the Aurora.

But why does it look so cute now?

"You want us to go to the hospital?" ask Herdin who is approaching. Herdin felt that Aurora deliberately pura pura sick because she knew where Alexander was going.

This girl is playing victim.

"Can you please Om, yes, Herdin," said Om Dewan.

"I've done nothing" Aurora refused to be disappointed that Alexander was leaving.

Bener, right? inner Herdin smiled.
