In the largest company in the S country, a woman is helping her boss to lead a meeting. His good and very reliable work made him very trusted by his superiors.
Mia Khalisa, a thirty-five-year-old woman. He worked at the Star company as the company's CEO secretary. It had been almost ten years that he had worked in that place, during which time he had devoted himself entirely to the company. The sacrifice and dedication of a Mia is able to make her trusted by her superiors.
Mia was in the CEO's office to report the results of the meeting.
"Good, you can always be relied upon" said the CEO, who is none other than Alex Starles, father of Daniel Starles.
"Thank you sir, you will have a meeting with investors from P country to discuss our new mining project." Mia reminded her boss because it was her job as a secretary.
"Well, you'll be with me later" said Mr. Alex.
"Okay sir, excuse me first." Mia who was done with her report immediately resigned herself to return to her room.
"Wait for Mia" said Mr. Alex to prevent Mia from leaving the room.
"Is there any more, sir?" ask Mia.
"Please pick up my son tomorrow at the airport. Maybe he'll land at about seven in the morning. You can, right?" ask Mr. Alex.
"Sure sir, tomorrow I'll pick up young master." Mia undertakes orders from her superiors, yes in addition to assuring her there is no other choice for her. As a subordinate Mia must obey and be ready for all orders of superiors. He was never picky about work.
"Good, you can go back to your room."
Mia also left her superior room and returned to her desk which was not far from the CEO room of course.
Mia put a stack of her work on the table. Slightly tendered his back to relax his body for a while. Working as a secretary is not as easy as others see it. The shadow of being a secretary who just sits sweetly pretty is absolutely nothing to Mia.
At this very mature age, she should have stayed at home taking care of children and family, but Mia had not thought about it at all. Being the backbone of the family makes him have to work hard to support his family, mother and sister.
The father went somewhere when Mia was a teenager but Mia was even grateful that the man left because his work was just drunk and playing gambling. Every day vent his anger on the mother if he can not get money for gambling. Mia is so fed up with her own father, it's a good thing the man has never been home since Mia threatened to report him to the police.
After the departure of her father did not necessarily make the life of Mia and the family better. The world was devastated when the mother was sentenced to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Mia has to fight hard to find money for the sake of her mother's treatment. Luckily he was smart and got a scholarship to graduate.
After graduating from college, Mia was determined to apply for a job in a large company in order to get a large salary. Of course for her mother. At that time Mr. Alex happened to be looking for a secretary and Mia entered the candidate for secretary.
Mia fought hard to get the position with her ability that does have intelligence. As a result, Mr. Alex really likes the ability of Mia who easily understands by being taught she can do well.
"For Mia, early in the morning this was for that face. Here's your coffee, sugarless americano," said one of the office staff, she's Catty a close friend of Mia's.
Every morning he never misses to bring a cup of coffee to Mia.
"Thank you" said Mia, then she picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was bitter but not as bitter as his life.
"Why? Did the boss say anything weird again?" catty asked a little whispered because she did not want to be caught talking about her boss.
"Where are you going, are there any tasks outside?" ask Catty again who always wanted to know.
"I'm going to pick up Mr. Alex's son at the airport" he replied briefly as he was still enjoying his coffee.
"You mean young master Starles?"
Mia blinked her eyes at Catty's guess.
"Hi.why are you so ordinary you want to pick up young master Daniel Starles. The sole heir of the Starles company, handsome and rich man." Catty was very enthusiastic about mentioning Daniel when he himself had never met directly just know from the word, said gossip spread in the office.
"I have to what? He's human too, right?" Mia nonchalantly prefers to enjoy her coffee that is no longer hot.
"You know, all the women in this company are very appreciative. Who wouldn't want to be Alex's son-in-law. I give you a suggestion yes, tomorrow you have to dress up and a beautiful one when you pick her up." Catty moved around the table approaching her friend.
"What are you doing, Cat?" Screech Mia as Catty takes off the glasses perched on her nose and pulls the hair-covered clasp that shackles Mia's beautiful hair.
"Listen, tomorrow you must not wear these worn glasses and must grind your beautiful hair. Come on Mia Khalisa, you are beautiful. No need for you to dress up like this Mia, your age is already three heads. When are you going to end your single life."
Catty was right about when, I was alone but there was too much burden on me and no man would be willing to go with a woman who bore that much burden. Mia in her heart.
"Give Cat back, listen I don't need men. I can still support myself." Mia took back the glasses Catty had in her hand and put them back on. Not to forget, she rolled back her long hair.
"You need someone to lean on Mia, you can't stay alone forever. As a friend I just want to see you happy" Catty said.
"I understand Cat, only you understand me. If I'm lonely later I can kidnap your son to accompany me" Mia replied.
"Aahh no longer, it's enough you take him every week. His father complained about not being able to spend the next weekend his own son." Catty folds both hands, of course women his age is already reasonable to have children.
"You have to make another one, when I bring your son you have plenty of time to make it" Mia easily said.
"Indeed you think making a child that easy, we also have to think ahead. His future, his living expenses and for his school," Catty protested.
The two friends used to tease each other but they actually loved each other. Mia was always there when Catty needed her and vice versa.
