THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 45. Meeting Room

***the Alpha*Company***

Dian and his entourage follow Erik doing an inspection at Alpha Company. The five employees of Jayanata Company occasionally glanced towards the red panda who was inside Dian's arms.

They are also interested in holding a cute red panda and trying to intelligence anything that has been installed in the body of Mao Mao by scientists who make it.

Their heart's desire ran aground because Mao Mao ignored them and clearly only liked Dian alone. Even Erik himself did not get a warm welcome from Mao Mao earlier.

After all, the five employees of Jayanata Company were also worried that they would have to pay a large compensation if they accidentally damaged the red panda when touching it so that this big risk was better avoided.

Without feeling Dian and his entourage have been in Alpha Company for an hour. Dian is very satisfied with some examples of products that have been made there.

Erik invites Dian and his entourage to enjoy a light snack in the Alpha Company meeting room as the end of today's inspection process.

Just as Erik opened the door of the meeting room, Erik's personal secretary Ponco approached him.

"CEO Erik! CEO Stefan has arrived" Ponco reported.

"Please take CEO Stefan to the meeting room" said Erik.

Ponco nodded his head and went to do Erik's orders, while Dian was speechless staring at Erik waiting for an explanation from him.

"Vice CEO Dian. Coincidentally CEO Stefan came to take on a cooperation proposal. I asked her to join together in the meeting room," Erik said with a friendly smile.

Dian's face turned cold. Did Stefan come by chance or because Erik told Stefan about his inspection today? The young girl did not completely believe Erik's words.

If it is indeed an important meeting to discuss the issue of AI projects, as a business partner Dian does not mind the arrival of Stefan. Dian dislikes Erik having hidden intentions to get her closer to Stefan, like the first dance incident a while ago.

The atmosphere became tense because Dian was still standing outside the meeting room so that the employees of Jayanata Company who came with him had not entered the meeting room.

Moments later, Ponco escorted Stefan to the meeting room. Stefan came with Luis.

"Geek! Deputy CEO Dian!" greet Stefan.

"Slave Stefan!" Dian returned Stefan's greeting, then looked towards Luis who was standing next to Stefan.

Luis smiled kindly and greeted her with a nod of his head to Dian. The young girl replied to him with a smile and a nod of the head as well.

Erik and Stefan were stunned for a moment to see Dian's friendly treatment of Luis, which differed a hundred percent from Stefan's greeting.

During his marriage to Stefan, Luis was the only person who was always so friendly towards Dian that the young girl regarded Luis as a friend.

"Let's go inside the meeting room together" Erik asked.

"Sorry CEO Erik. Deputy CEO Dian still has an important meeting in Ubud and has to leave now so can't join."

David who had been silent beside Dian, gave a reason to refuse subtly because he could feel Dian reluctant to be in the room with Stefan at this time.

"All right then. We can set the time for another day" Erik said.

"Mao Mao's! Let's wake!" call Dian while gently patting the back of the red panda.

The red panda fell asleep on Dian's lap because of a long inspection. Moments later Mao woke up and looked at Stefan with sparkling eyes.

The red panda jumped down from Dian's arm towards Stefan. "Pipe! Mao Mao wanted to be carried," said the jubilant red panda as he raised both front hands pulling the legs of Stefan's trousers spoiled.

Stefan bowed his body and lifted the red panda into his arms. Stefan's heart was warm because it smelled the scent of Dian's body perfume stuck to Mao Mao's body at this time.

"I'll say goodbye first!" said Dian with an expressionless face and left Alpha Company with her entourage.

"Mimi! Mimi's beautiful!" call the red panda who's still in Stefan's arms. Dian did not turn his head or answer the call of the red panda. In a short time Dian's entourage was gone.

Erik patted Stefan's shoulder gently.

"Fa! Miss Dian liked Mao Mao very much. Now ignore Mao Mao because of you," Erik said as he shook his head.

Stefan looked at the red panda in his arms, then gave it to Erik.

"To your office now" said Stefan.

"alright. The cooperation proposal is indeed in my office," Erik said.

The red panda felt confused being moved from one hand to the other. In addition, the intelligence program in his system makes Mao Mao know Dian is ignoring him because of Stefan, but himself can not hate Stefan because it has been programmed.

***

One week later, Jayanata Company held a meeting to discuss more details about the cooperation project with Alpha Company.

Husin who usually rarely appears at company meetings, this time attended. Likewise with Anggi who represents the head of the marketing department to be present in the meeting room.

Dian suggests that they both have a sinister plan for him at this time. What's more Chandra is still in service abroad so Husin will definitely take advantage of this golden opportunity.

A special team of AI projects selected by Dian some time ago proposed some plans that have been approved by Dian before.

As Dian suspected, the department heads refused to take the decision to approve the plan. Some people just sit there as if they were spectators.

Husin and Anggi smiled satisfiedly at the chaos in the meeting room. The shareholders and the head of the department had received incitement from Husin so they deliberately aggravated and pressured Dian at the meeting today.
