"How's the job today, miss alexandra ?? Is there any trouble ??" ask the hostess to melt the stiff atmosphere while they are in the same elevator
"So far I can still handle her, Mr. Prangga. Thank you for asking.." sahut ale with his sweet smile. Of course, ale is sweet and friendly to anyone. Eh wait, except for her mother and step-sister, ale would never be sweet to the two of them.
"Oh God's. Why is she so sweet.."
Angga smiled slightly as he continued to look towards the ale from the reflection of themselves seen inside the elevator.
Ting.
In a matter of seconds, the elevator that carries ale and angga has reached the 35th floor,
"Please miss," proudly invited ale to come out first,
"Thank you. Emm, Mr Angga, can't you just call her ale ??"
Ale is a little uncomfortable if people call her Miss. Ever since she came out of the main house, Ale considered herself no longer from a conglomerate family. So there is no reason for people around him to pin the word miss in front of his name.
Angga smiled, "Okay. ALE.." said proudly with great emphasis
Ale put on a smile and walked back to the forest king's room
Tok to tok.
"Please enter, miss, Mr. Leo is waiting." said the secretary leo whose desk is right in front of the young CEO's room.
Ale also opened the door handle, then entered the room alone, because ale had separated from the pride when he got out of the elevator. Angga chose to go straight to his room, the man was sure, surely his current master only wanted to meet with alexandra.
"Excuse me, sir..."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Leo who pretended to be busy checking the pile of maps on his desk immediately raised his head to see who was coming.
With all his strength to hold a smile, Leo invited ale to sit on the sofa of his room.
"Wait a minute." said Leo pretend back busy checking documents when he just wanted to look cool in front of ale.
While continuing to look down and put his signature on the paper, Leo also occasionally stole a glance at Ale.
While the girl was starting to lose patience, it had been almost 10 minutes of waiting ale but it seemed like her master was still busy with his work
"Sir, is it still a long time ??" ale asked as she felt she had waited too long in the room "If it is still a long time, I will come again later." he continued.
Leo raised his head again to look at the other person. For the first time in his self-history served as the leader of the company, only this time there are employees who dare to talk like that. Usually the employees are afraid and reluctant to interfere with it and prefer to wait until Leo is done with his affairs. But ale is different, he said things that never leo heard from anyone including his personal assistant, angga.
Ale got up from his seat, "Master can call me again if master's work is done. Excuse me.."
"Wait!!"
Just two steps ale walking, leo already told her to stop
"alright. I'm done.."
Leo asked Ale to go back to sitting on the sofa. And the man dropped his ass on the single sofa as usual.
"I don't like being stale!! Guess how long it will take you until the car is ready to be marketed ??" Leo crossed his legs casually while leaning his back on the sofa.
"One week." replied ale briefly
Leo shook his head quickly, "Too long!!"
"Ck! Holy hooch! Too long he said!! I even work alone!!"
Ale thought for a moment.
"Then how long will you take for me to finish the job ??" ale asked defiantly. Honestly speaking, he became even more annoyed with the man before him
"Three days !!"
"CRAZY!! He thought I was a genie who could conjure everything in the blink of an eye!!"
"Okay." Ale also responded to the request of the king of the forest. And maybe in this way ale also so can immediately resign from the company.
"But I asked someone to be my personal assistant."
"alright. Just pick whoever you want."
"I asked Iwan to be my assistant.."
Leo frowned, inexplicably hearing ale mention another man's name there was a feeling of dislike..
"God!! With his own staff he did not memorize. I'm 1000% sure he doesn't know the entire staff at this headquarters!!"
"He's an employee at the branch office.."
"Why not choose the employees who are here ? Aren't they all the same ??"
Ale shook his head, "They are not the same as iwan. I asked Iwan, if you can't handle it, then I can't finish my job by myself."
"Leon. Who exactly is he ? Is there something between them ??" ask Leo in his heart. Hearing ale continue to mention iwan's name, the man became over thinking. Curious, for sure. But more than that, somehow Leo wants to fire his employee named iwan, even though he did not know what kind of figure iwan.
"alright. Doesn't matter. Tomorrow I make sure the employee named iwan is already here.!!"
"Oh yeah. I also want to say something!!"
Somehow Leo's gaze grew more intense staring at the brownish-colored ale's eye bead.
"Master. Are you listening to me ??"
"Yes. I heard! Just say !!" Without turning her eyes away, Leo continued to stare at ale,
"Why does he look at me with such a gaze continue, don't have anything on my face!!"
"After my work is done and the product is ready to be marketed, I will immediately resign from this company."
Deg.
Leo stared for a moment, trying to digest ale's words just now.
"Resign ??" ask leo to make sure
"Yes." Yeah."
"CAN'T !!" leo immediately got up from his seat walking towards the large window made entirely of glass. Oh come on, leo wouldn't possibly let ale just walk away from his company. There is one and another thing that is a strong reason Leo does not want to let go of the girl.
Ale looked at Leo's back who was turning his back, "With or without master's permission, I will still quit this job!!" Ale got up from his seat,
Leo looked back at Ale and approached the girl who was standing perfectly facing him..
Leo's long move instantly eroded the distance between them, "Why have you always wanted to resign from this company of mine ??" leo asked with a stifled voice and somehow even sounded so soft in ale's ears
With a very close distance for the first time, their hearts are both equally beating as if racing who is the fastest beating, even the roar of breath both of them were mutually understated.
For a while it seemed to stop around them.
Arrive arrive...
Crekks.
The sound of the door opening..
"Sorry, sir. I guess miss alexandra's gone!!"
Deg.
Hearing the voice of the pride, making ale's consciousness back and he immediately turned his face, while Leo, his gaze was only fixed on ale, the man ignored the words of his personal assistant.
A second later, the door closed again.
"Sorry sir, I have to go.." Ale slightly pushed the body of leo that was blocking his path. Leo's body was indeed pushed, but now even his hand was holding onto Ale's arm, holding the girl back from leaving.
"Where are you going ? We're not done talking!!"
"My work is not finished, sir. Isn't it just three days of time that you gave me ??" without looking at Leo ale directly lowered the man's hand from his wrist with his other hand.
"Excuse me..."
