"Alright, let's go in, Miss. The aroma of the tenderloin steak is here." Surya opened the car door and exited. Gina was still thinking about what Surya had just said.
"Miss..." Call Surya from outside the car. Hearing that Gina regained her senses and went down as well.
Gina's favorite restaurant has a comfortable interior. With a view of the garden outside, visitors can enjoy the green grass and colorful flowers. For restaurants with a location in the middle of the city, this is a restaurant that can be used as a place to unwind. Very able to refresh the tired thoughts.
"You know Surya, the garden reminds me of your hometown." Said Gina while cutting the tenderloin meat in front of her. He then took a piece and enjoyed it.
"Yes Miss."
"When can we go there again?"
"Come, Miss. There's still so much to do here." Surya drank water beside him.
"Your village is really fun. The river under the bridge is clear. I could even see small fish swimming there. Unfortunately Ayu forbade me to swim. He said the river had its culture." Gina scowled saying that.
"Is it true that such a clear river has a culture?" Gina asks Surya for an answer.
"Nothing, Miss. The river was too far away with an estuary so there couldn't be a crocodile up there."
"I guess Ayu lied to me. I was tricked by that little boy." Surya smiled looking at Gina's annoyed facial expression.
The last piece of meat had gone into Gina's mouth. He smiled with satisfaction at what he had for lunch. He had not come to this restaurant for a long time because it was so far from R-Company that he did not want to lose a lot of rest just for lunch here. But this time the R-Company boss is inviting so he can do anything but be happy to say yes. Not only that, Surya's habit of always cutting the steak for her made Gina feel flattered.
"Ahh, so full." Gina rubbed her lips with a tissue.
"It's really good and makes me feel alive again." Surya smiled again at Gina's behavior.
"Surya, what's your favorite food?" Ask Gina suddenly.
"Come, Miss. I love all the food." Surya smiled widely.
"Oh yeah, I also saw you eating all the food without any restrictions."
"Yes Miss. Especially vegetables. I really like vegetables. All sorts of vegetables I like."
"Well, it must be very easy for you to be a vegetarian."
"But I'm not interested in becoming a vegan, Miss. I'm an adherent of eating four perfectly healthy five foods." Surya then chuckled after saying that.
"That's good for you. So that you grow up healthy and strong get taller and bigger." Gina's style of talking is funny. It made Surya laugh because he felt like Gina was talking to a child. Gina laughed when she saw Surya laughing at her.
"You're Surya, right?" Sapa a young woman suddenly in front of Surya.
"Hi, Helen." Reply Surya said hello.
"Oh my God, I can barely recognize you. But as soon as I heard your voice I was finally sure it was really you." The woman then placed her right and left cheeks on Surya's cheeks. Seeing that Gina glared her eyes. Suddenly the room immediately became sultry. He feels hot.
"How are you?" The woman was still focused on Surya.
"As you can see, I'm good."
"Yes, of course. You look really good." Then the woman laughed a little.
"How long have we not seen each other? It feels like a long time ago." The woman answered her own question.
"Yes, since the graduation party we've never seen each other again."
"true." The woman did not look at Gina at all.
"So it seems to be true what I heard from friends. You are now a successful businessman. You're the president of R-Company? The largest household appliance factory in the country." Surya smiled in response to the woman.
"I'm still just an employee too, Helen."
"Oh yeah? But since long ago I've seen how you'll be successful. You are diligent and diligent in studying. You don't want to stop just going to college. You're still opening a business. Selling, parking, cleaning service, you do a lot of part-time work. I thought you were a hard-working robot at the time." Helen laughed while patting Surya's arm. Gina had squeezed the tissue that was still in her hand.
"By the way I miss you." Said Helen who made Gina instantly overflow.
"E.hemm..." Gina cleared her throat hoping that they would not forget her existence. And it was true that Helen, who had hair, turned to him. Gina flashed a smile even though her heart was very stiff. It was all for the sake of looking sweet in front of Surya.
"Hey, who is this? Is she your wife?" Helen looked at Gina with sparkling eyes. Surya nodded.
"You're really like finding your luck. Ahh, no. You get rewarded for your hard work first. A beautiful married president is the right label for you right now." Helen who looked like a talkative person was looking at Gina kindly.
"Then, this is my wife Gina." Surya introduced them both.
"Hi, you're so lucky to get Surya. A good man and a hard worker." Praise Helen blatantly. Then a child pulled Helen by the hand. The kid with the sweet blonde hair.
"Mommy..." The boy was like inviting Helen to get out of there. Helen nodded and gave him a smile.
"All right, I gotta go. My husband is waiting, too." Pamit Helen suddenly and then left them both.
Gina had a look at the door of a bule man waiting for Helen. Maybe that's what she meant as her husband.
"Let's go back." Then take Gina. He felt suddenly uncomfortable.
"None right." Surya then called the waiter to ask for their bill.
Is it because of eating so much that Miss Gina is now so sleepy? Thought Surya.
That's why he let Gina shut up and enjoy her own time. Don't want to bother because Gina might even be angry with him. He knew Gina was quick to change attitude so Surya felt he had to be smart to maintain his attitude and put himself.
Until entering the R-Company parking lot, Gina did not sleep. He also did not speak a word. It made Surya very surprised and started to ventured into small talk.
"It's over, Miss." Gina was still silent not wanting to reply to Surya's sentence. He just opened the door without looking at Surya. Surya becomes very confused as to what exactly is going on with Gina.
Seeing Gina walk first made Surya want to rush to follow her. Even after closing the door of his car, with half-run Surya approached Gina.
"Miss, you're not feeling well?" Surya asked with a face full of worry. Gina's still walking.
"No."
"Are you sure you feel okay?"
"Yes of course. I feel so full that I'm lazy to do anything." Answer Gina coldly. His attitude returned to being that of a true Gina he used to meet first as the daughter of his boss, not the Gina he had met lately who was cheerful and friendly.
"Alright then, please rest in Miss's room." Gina did not answer anymore and remained cold and did not care about Surya who followed her steps. Surya can only resign with a change in Gina's attitude. It was Gina who he knew so much that he was immune to all forms of mood swings.
Entering the lobby of the R-Company seemed to be an unusual activity for Gina. When I went out to eat there was no such activity. Gina walked over to the crowd.
"Oh photoshoots for this month's catalog are being prepared." Surya said like knowing what Gina wants to know.
"Why do photoshoots here?" Gina finally responded to Surya out of curiosity.
"Why not in the studio? Doesn't R-Company have a dedicated studio for product shooting?" Gina still looked at the busy workmen preparing for the photo shoot.
"The concept of this photo shoot is a public space so to make it look natural they use the lobby for the background of the photo shoot with the crowd. The product that's about to come up is the waiting chair, miss."
"Wait seat?" Repeat Gina. Then his gaze was fixed on a row of waiting chairs that were suddenly there being highlighted by lights for shooting purposes.
"Good Day Mr. Surya, Miss Gina." A woman with glasses.
"Jiang, Wenny." Sapa Surya's. Gina just smiled at him. He doesn't know who Wenny is. But he believes the woman is part of the shooting team this time.
"I've always liked your idea, Wenny. Fresh and anti-mainstream." Surya praised Wenny.
"Thank you, sir." Wenny seemed happy to be praised by the R-company president directly like that.
Suddenly someone approached the person in charge of the shoot and whispered something. Hearing that his face looked surprised and turned pale.
"How did this happen? Where should we find a replacement? The time is very tight. The photographer has even arrived." Wenny said softly to his assistant but Surya and Gina could hear that.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ask Surya.
"Ahh no Sir. It's just that.. like this. we got word that the model who will be part of this photo shoot had an accident when it will be heading here. And it's also pretty serious that the agency made sure he couldn't take the photoshoot this afternoon."
"Just use another model." Answer Surya.
"Yes sir, the agency will replace it with another model. But the problem is after this the photographer also has to do the shooting elsewhere so we don't have much time." Wenny looked panicked.
"If we cancel today's shoot we will suffer a loss in budget and also a slowdown in catalog publishing, sir." Surya seemed to be silent.
"Alright, I'll try to contact other agencies if there's a model we can use immediately." But Wenny's assistant whispered something to him. Then his face changed and his gaze was fixed on Gina who was still standing beside Surya.
"What are you saying. You're just watching." Omel Wenny to his assistant.
"What's wrong?" Surya asked looking at the commotion between the superior and the subordinate.
"Nothing, sir." Answer the two at the same time.
"You want me to be her model?" Gina said calmly but confidently to the two people in front of her. Surya looked at Gina. Gina saw Wenny looking at her as her assistant whispered. He felt that they might be talking about it.
"Sorry Miss. My assistant is just talking." Wenny looks bad to Gina.
"Let's do it." Gina looked at Wenny seriously.
"Really, Miss?" Wenny looked at Gina in disbelief. So did Surya and Wenny's assistant.
"I'm part of the R-Company. So what's wrong with me helping this photo shoot run smoothly." Gina Clear. Surya who heard that smiled. Turns out Gina wasn't as I thought she was.
"Pictures are for catalogs only, right?"
"It's actually also for billboards, miss." Wenny hesitated in fear of Gina's next reaction that she might not have expected.
"Alright, you just have to add my pay many times over."
"What, Miss? So you stay ready?"
"Yes, I would do anything for the good of R-Company. So this afternoon I'm your paid model. Treat me well or I'll ruin this shoot."
"Oh well, Miss. Fine..." Wenny and her assistant were very excited to guide Gina to make up and change her clothes.
