“Jajan. Think of it because I never give pocket money before you leave.” replied Ed.
“Will I use for fun-foya, yes.” reply Anna.
“Can only. But never use to pay for your girlfriend who has fallen poor.” said Ed.
“Former girlfriend.” Anna corrected Ed's sentence.
Anna then walked out of the house. He found Novan who was waiting in front and immediately opened the car door as soon as he saw Anna was out.
“Have long waited? Sorry yes.” said Anna.
“It's okay. The longer I wait the more happy.” reply Novan.
Anna frowned.
“That means you interact a lot with Mr. Ed.” said Nova later.
Anna smiled and got into the car. Anna and Ed's relationship as father and son is indeed very awkward. Moreover, Anna only found out Ed was her real father when she was an adult. And it can not be denied how disappointed Anna with Ed who instead abandoned and let Anna grow up in the orphanage.
“President Anna, Mary Jo has been acquitted of the charges. He is waiting for you in the office.” said Novan while driving.
“Alright.” reply Anna.
Arriving at the company, Anna and Novan got off the car and got a lot of “bend body” from employees passing in the lobby. Anna and Novan walk up the VIP access elevator to Anna's room.
“Dirut Zack submits another meeting.”, Novan told Anna while both in the elevator.
“If it's not about work, just refuse.” reply Anna.
“Good.”
Ting...
Anna and Novan's elevator reached Anna's room.
Novan called someone. “President Anna has arrived.” he said on the phone briefly.
Anna and Novan walk into Anna's room as CEO.
“Call the directors to my room. I want to receive a report from them.” Anna said.
“How about Mary Jo who has been waiting for you from morning?” ask Novan.
“Oh, yes... It's not good to keep people waiting long. Call her into my room too, deh.” Anna replied.
“Alright.” says Novan.
Not long after, the directors entered with Novan and Mary Jo with a woman from the reception behind her.
Zack and Warren are also directors. Zack meets his mother in Anna's room.
“Good morning, President Anna.” greet the directors who have just entered and bow their heads.
“Please sit down first.” Reply Anna.
“Good morning, President Anna. Miss Mary Jo has arrived.” said a woman from the reception who also bowed half her body.
The entire room became awkward and silent for a moment. All eyes were on Mary Jo and gave a code that she should pay her respects.
“You must salute President Anna, Miss Mary Jo.”, said Nova.
“Hm? Oh? Yes, well..” Mary replied with a wave.
It may be difficult for Mary, who never bows, to be seen from her distressing and stiff while trying to bend her body. Especially in front of young directors like Bram, Warren, and even their own children.
“Alright, it's okay. You may still have a lot to learn, former financial director Mary Jo.” said Anna.
Mary looked at Anna's face. Likewise with Anna who had put on a bright smile face since the first time the directors entered.
“Please prepare the goods.” Anna told the woman from the receptionist.
“Good, President Anna. Excuse me for a moment.” reply that woman.
“Presdir Anna, there is a project from the Strategy Planning section that needs your signature.” said Director of Strategy Planning.
“Good. I'll check it out later.” reply Anna.
“Presdir Anna, this is a minutes of meeting the results of discussions with shareholders.” said Novan.
“Thank you. I will read the results of my discussion with the shareholders a few days ago. Regarding the former financial director Mary Jo who had been exposed to a scandal that harmed the company, but because Mary Jo was not proven guilty, Mary Jo will only be demoted. Mary Jo will work in Finance with a position as an employee who will be taken care of by the Personnel.” section, Anna said.
(*Demotion is the process of reassigning an employee to another position with lesser responsibilities.)
Tok..
“President Anna, this is the item you need.” said the woman from the receptionist section by handing over a cardboard containing Mary Jo's belongings from her old room.
When Anna wanted to take the cardboard, her hand felt slippery and it escaped her hand. Mary Jo's nameplate with her old position as Finance Director was split into 2.
“Gosh! Sorry, mom! I'm sorry!” said the receptionist who wants to pick up broken glass.
Anna immediately grabbed the woman's hand, forbidding her to pick up the broken glass so as not to get hurt.
“Let the cleaning service take care of it. Just nameplate only ’kan broken?” said Anna.
“Iya, bu President.”
“Ya it's okay. After all, the nameplate is no longer used, ’kan, Miss Mary?” ask Anna.
Mary looked at Anna's face in annoyance. He knew Anna was humiliating him in front of her own son and the other directors.
“Iya, it's okay.” replied Mary and displayed her forced smile.
“Good. In that case, the Personnel section will take care of the promotion of Ms. Mary and provide a new work agreement letter as a regular employee.” Anna said.
“Good, President Anna.” replied Bram.
“Mari, bu.” said Novan let Mary go from Anna's room because they will start the meeting.
After the meeting, again Zack deliberately came out the last to be able to talk to Anna.
“An—I mean President Anna. There's something I want to talk about.” said Zack.
“About work?” ask Anna.
“You said I could apply for a meeting with your secretary. But already 2 times I submitted a meeting to your Secretary and always rejected.” said Zack.
“I don't want to talk about anything other than work. Get out if you have no more needs.” reply Anna then walk to her desk, sit down check the documents on her desk.
“I'm in the process of divorce, Anna.” Zack said.
Anna grabbed the phone at the end of her desk. “Secretary Novan, come to my room now.” Anna said on the phone.
Tok..
“President Anna, can I help you?” novan asked after arriving at Anna's room.
“Bawa Dirut Zack out.” replied Anna with her face fixed on the document on the workbench. His face no longer looked at Zack.
“Mari, Director of Zack.” said Novan directed Zack to the door.
“Why are you doing this to me, Anna?” ask Zack while shaking Novan's hand.
“I tried to fix everything, Anna.” Zack said later.
Anna is not flinching. He remained focused on checking the documents that required his signature. He doesn't care about Zack at all.
“Mari, Dirut Zack. Don't disturb President Anna.” said Nova.
Zack would not want to get out of Anna's room after being ignored by the owner of the room.
Sorry, Zack. I'm afraid I'll falter if I'm with you again. I had to focus on achieving my goal first, Anna's inner self after Zack and Novan left her room.
