Stuck With An Arrogant CEO
THE END'S.
6 YEARS LATER…..
That round-eyed figure opened his eyes, the same sky sky he always saw every morning. Cantika, a 22-year-old girl from the capital city, works for a private piano company. His job is to make the piano design follow the times and also the interests of the buyers.
She may be young to work, but Cantika passed the class until she graduated college at the age of 20. Live alone in an apartment close to where he works; it only takes two minutes to walk.
Not luxury apartments, only studio rooms with narrow balconies and lifts that sometimes die.
In his family, he only had his Grandmother and Father. His mother died 6 years ago, and was followed by his grandfather 2 years later. Her grandmother still lives in the old house, accompanied by her Papah who now works as a legal consultant.
If you want to go there, Cantika must take 20 minutes by bus.
GECK. GECK. GECK.
The sound of knocking made Cantika roll her eyeballs lazily, she immediately opened the door. “Good morning, Cantika. Breakfast for you.”
“I told you not to make breakfast for me, don't you have an event on campus today?”
The figure entered Cantika's apartment, wandering in the kitchen.
“What are you looking for?” ask Cantika. “Wait, you gave me breakfast in return?”
“Gula, actually I need that. Ah can, I borrow ya.”
“Replace twice as many,” said Cantika who was replied by the figure. “Galuh, did you hear me or not?”
“I heard you,” replied the man who was moving sugar from the jar on the plastic he made.
The figure who accompanied Cantika from High School, until college. Currently Galuh is continuing his S2 studies, while he also works at one of the charitable Foundations not far from here. Galuh is also Cantika's neighbor in this apartment building, only she lives at the end of the corridor, with an apartment that has two rooms in it.
“Thank you for the sugar, Darling.”
“Ck, sucks,” muttered Cantika as the man passed her.
“Don't forget to eat your breakfast, and thank your hero.”
BRACKET! Cantika preferred to close the door rather than reply to Galuh's chatter, the sound of laughter from the man could be heard.

“Goshaaaa,” said Cantika closed her eyes when she just finished presenting the piano model she made.
“Why?” tanya Dinda(26 years old); her workmate. “You why? heh, Cantika.”
“They don't like what I make, Ma'am. Time is said to be outdated, even though this is what is being loved by young people now. This color.”
“Rather than you complain, it is better to make the design they want instead?”
“But it's ancient, theirs is ugly.”
Dinda rolled her eyes lazily. “You know our company is on the verge of bankruptcy, right? so we have to make what they want, whether it goes into the times or not. Understand?”
There was nothing Cantika could do, she again held the paper on the table. Select the design he made before. “At least it should be pretty like my name, not old-fashioned.”
“You're leaving alone? not with Galuh?”
“She has a lecture, so can't deliver me.”
“Sweetie, it's worth it I didn't see Dylan and Milea this morning.”
Dinda laughed instead, their adjacent stools making it easy to talk. Despite having a bulkhead, it did not become a hindrance to chatting as usual.
Until the leader figure came out of his room and cleared his throat. Cantika and Dinda immediately stopped their conversation. “Where is he going?” ask Cantika confused. “He went upstairs. Did something happen?”
Although a small company, but the entire three-story Building is theirs. The first floor is the receptionist, lobby and canteen. Second floor for workers divided from several teams. And the third floor is the meeting room, and also the head of their company; Mr. Herry. The fat guy with the head of a plontos.
“All team leaders go upstairs, it looks like something is an emergency.”
Cantika swallowed her saliva rough, she was worried too. “What are they going to fire us? Wasn't there an employee cleanup yesterday?”
“Stay positive thinking,” said Dinda, she glanced at her watch. “It's lunch time, let's go down.”
Trying to divert negative thoughts, Cantika went downstairs. But what he found was a menu of food that was getting smaller, strange and also without meat. “I feel we are really broke.”
“Then from that, you have to make the model they want. Quickly work here.”
Afraid of the company going bankrupt, in the end Cantika lowered the ego and made the design they wanted; although it did not fit the style of today.

Returning to the second floor, they returned busy working despite being confused why the team leaders did not come down again.
“Team financials said that their boss had risen two hours before our boss,” said Dinda which made Cantika again swallow saliva rough.
“Don't bother me, Ma'am. I'll finish this design quickly.”
The older woman squinted her eyes. “Cantika, you're sweating. Go to the toilet first.”
At first Cantika remained in his stance, until he finally realized that this anxiety he had to throw away. Cantika went to the toilet, washed her face there and looked at herself in the mirror. “I'm pretty, right? galuh praise me more often.”
Smiling to himself, Cantika took the time to call Galuh and make sure the man was okay on campus. “I understand you haven't been on campus for 2 years, but you're still young. Come on, I'm sure the S2s aren't all young. Don't consider yourself out of date.”
“I know it'll be quieter if you call me, Beautiful me.”
“Stop playing and listen to me!” cantika shouted annoyed.
Then followed by a sentence of advice for Galuh. It took five minutes until Cantika ended the call and stepped out of the bathroom. He's back on his team. And what he saw, the people in his office were whispering.
“Mbak, what happened to people? Why do they look busy gossiping?”
“Gosh! You were in the bathroom a long time ago. Here!” Dinda pulled Cantika's hand to sit on her stool again. Normalize his breathing before saying, “This company will be acquired by Fernandez Inc. We are part of them now. Fun, we have allowance later.”
Fernandez Inc's.
Fernandez Inc's.
Fernandez Inc's.
The words kept spinning in his brain.
