Mark who was standing next to Alexander grew increasingly tense and panicked. He had never been this tough and tough before. But today, for the first time he felt afraid to meet Mr. Anton. He knew he was guilty, but he didn't expect this to happen
_Two hours before Alexander and Mark arrive at the office_
Mark moved his body and grabbed the blanket that covered his entire body, and how shocked he was when he grabbed the phone on the table. The silent mode of the phone last night was not changed, so the incoming call was not heard at all
Immediately Mark jumped out of bed when he saw the clock was already showing the number twelve more, immediately he shouted loudly woke Alexander who was still sound on the sofa. So that makes the handsome man immediately open his eyes. And Alexander was just as panicked as Mark was when he saw the clock on his phone. Especially when you see there are many incoming calls that are ignored
Both of them scrambled into the bathroom, washed their faces, then came back in a hurry to get shoes. While running into the elevator, the two wore shoes there. And back Alexander had to curse because old Mark took the car in the basement
“Quick....!!!” Alexander said in a panic as the two were already in the car
Mark's face was tense, as was Alexander. The two looked uneasy and blamed each other
“This is all because of you. Try if you don't ask me to stay up late waiting for you, I certainly won't be late
“That told you to stay up ready, huh?. Didn't you sleep first from me” reply Alexander no less fierce
“What did you forget, what time did I sleep? I slept it almost three in the morning Lex”
“Still mending you sleep at three, I'm five o'clock via”
Both of them were silent, and refocused staring at the highway that still seemed jammed. Many times Mark claxed and took a deep breath with a face that implied panic.
“Where today there was a meeting...” complained Mark while returning to breathe a long breath.
“Why don't you ask cancel his meeting” umpat Alexander again
“Cancel continues, when Lex ends. And this is all because of you I'm not meeting today. And if Mr. Anton gets angry later, I'll tell you if it's all your fault”
As if stung by a scorpion, the two of them both took hp and saw how many times Mr. Anton contacted them
“Papi called me three times, you?”
“Sama” replied Mark
“There is a message in?” ask Alexander again
Mark handed Alexander his cell phone, asking the man to check the incoming messages as he would refocus on driving
“Crazy, my division head and secretary sent you so many messages”
Mark breathed a long breath
“Mark, papi who led the meeting” said Alexander without distracting him from the screen of Mark's mobile phone
As quickly as lightning Mark took his cellphone which was still grasped by Alexander, and read himself a message sent by Alexander's secretary who said if he finally called Mr. Anton and Mr. Anton who would lead the meeting
“Dead me Lex…. Mr. Anton must be very angry with me” complained Mark again while immediately driving his car at high speed
The two arrived at the office, and the atmosphere of the office seemed deserted. There were no employees in the office, so Mark finally took the initiative to call a colleague who had an appointment with him for a meeting today
“Loh, earlier Mr. Anton said there was outside service. That's why Mr. Anton is handling everything”
Mark stuttered, and hurriedly corrected his words
“Iya is right sir, me and Alexander are out of town. We have business too, which is why Mr Anton replaced us today. Thank you sir for attending the meeting today” after that Mark breathed a long breath and pecked resentfully towards Alexander who also had a grim face
“Terus why the office is empty?. It is impossible for all employees to be repatriated by Mr Anton?” mumbling Mark
Alexander nodded. Because outside, in the parking lot he clearly saw that the cars and motorcycles of employee vehicles were still parked neatly. Even Mr. Anton's car is still in place
“Let me call papi” said Alexander decided. After that he quickly reached for his phone, and immediately dialed his papi number. Continued but not lifted, even in reject. And Alexander was increasingly convinced that his papi was angry with him, therefore he repeated his papi number again and immediately apologized when the call was connected
But the one who raised not his papi, but the head of the division that increasingly made the guts of Alexander.
“Keep we should how Mark?” murmuring Alexander
“Your room. I'm sure finish this, Mr. Anton will be in your room. We accept our fate today. We are wrong..”.
Alexander nodded weakly as he walked ahead of Mark to his room. Arriving inside his room, he immediately shook his buttocks on the sofa, and immediately leaned his head on the back of the sofa, and gnawed his forehead. And Mark is like Alexander, both equally frustrating
While in the hall room, Mr. Anton who is still giving instructions to all his employees deliberately buy time to teach his two children. And all the employees who have not met Mr. Anton for a long time, plus the number of employees who have never met in person let alone can listen to directions from him of course make the best use of this historic moment. Moreover, the direction of Mr. Anton is relaxed, not stiff so many employees who smile even laugh when Mr. Anton throw a joke on his employees
And Alexander and Mark who were waiting in the room were getting tense and bored. To call them no longer dare. Especially Mark who did not dare to call Mr. Anton at all.
Alexander and Mark's face again tensed up when Alexander's door was pushed from the outside. Both of them stood up and immediately gulped with difficulty
“Pi....” greet Alexander with a choked voice.
Mark and Alexander sat down, and both sat down. And looked tensely at Mr. Anton who was still looking intently at them
“I can explain pi...” said Alexander finally because the papi since just silent
Mr. Anton was still unmoved, and folded his legs, but his gaze was still cold and piercing. So that makes the guts of Alexander and Mark back shriveled
“I confessed wrong pi. I shouldn't have left work and ignored an important meeting today. But pi's oath, this is not me on purpose. I don't know if going to this session we woke up from sleep”
Mr. Anton was still silent, and still looked solemnly at the faces of his two children. If Alexander tried to explain the reason even with a fearful mimic, then Mark could only sit agitated and occasionally look fearfully at Mr. Anton
“But papi will know, all this time we both never seteledor this. Papi knows for himself how dedicated we are to the company. But for this time, please forgive our mistakes both pi”
Mr. Anton was still silent, and took a deep breath.
“Actually this is not our fault pi both, this is purely Alex”'s mistake finally Alexander used a sentence that he had not wanted to say
“Your own fault, that is?” mr. Anton finally made a sound
Taking a deep breath before starting the story, Alexander finally began to tell Mr. Anton everything. Why they both wake up
“You're sure if papi will believe your story?”
Alexander's mouth gaped. The answer that is not at all suspected. He thought that his long story would be trusted by his papa, but it turns out that Mr. Anton was still acting like that
“True sir, Alexander did not lie, if you do not believe. I will contact IT experts who helped us last night, said Mark defending Alexander
Mr. Anton again looked intently at Mark who made the French man look down and avoided Mr. Anton's sharp gaze at him
Then began Mr. Anton scolded the two, expressing his disappointment because of their carelessness both
“They're old colleagues papi Lex, Mark. What will happen if they end up disappointed and make our company reputation bad, you want responsibility?”
“Trust is the main capital, you guys definitely know that. Papi does not like people who are not committed to their work. Especially you Alexander, don't you make my granddaughter and Sania an excuse. Papi tells you to go to see your son because he wants to ask Sania to focus on taking care of your son, but with you late today, makes papi disappointed”
Alexander and Mark could not say a single word. Both of them could only shut up and bow their heads. And again Mr. Anton advised the two, and hoped if this was the first and last
“If you two can no longer take care of this central company, let this company take over again. Let the two of you send to the other company's children”
Mark and Alexander raised their heads and looked at Mr. Anton in regretful faces
Mr. Anton's words immediately terpending when his phone rang. Alexander and Mark took a deep breath as Mr. Anton paused with his scolding
Mr. Anton frowned when he saw the incoming call. He glanced at Alexander who was also currently staring at him
“Ya San?, what is it?” replied Mr. Anton as his eyes continued to gaze towards Alexander
“Sorry Sir, Junior is raging..”.
Alexander's gaze on the papi was increasingly tense and very curious, especially when he heard if the papi had mentioned the word San. She's sure that calling her papi right now is Sania
“Give your phone to my grandson...”.
Alexander took a deep breath again, and there was a hint of relief in his heart when his papa mentioned the word grandson
“Pi, please on loudspeaker” Alexander said. He had forgotten, if at this moment his papa was angry with him
“Opa..... Where am I????”
Mr. Anton immediately developed his smile when he heard the cry of his grandson
“Kok even nyari papa, right now Junior is calling Opa. Does Junior not miss Opa?”
Alexander and Mark immediately got back to each other, a high voice with a cold tone of Mr. Anton when scolding and advising the two had disappeared immediately changed with a soft voice full of affection
“I miss the same opa, but when I wake up, papa is not there, but papa has promised that papa will sleep with me. Papa lied to me Opa. I want papa's angry opa, because papa came home without saying goodbye to me”
A smile rose on Mr. Anton's face. And the tension that had been on his face disappeared instantly, changing with a warm smile
“Definitely darling, surely opa will scold your papa for lying to you. No one can lie to opa grandchildren, right?”
Back the smile spread on Mr. Anton's face, especially when on the other side was heard babbling Junior
“I must admit, the myth that says all the time a man, he will go soft on his grandson” whispered Mark towards Alexander who nudged his arm
“Prepare for the throne that you have been proud to move on your son Alexander” back Mark whispered, and this time not only the elbow he got, but also the annoyed plotting from Alexander
“Silent you Mark, you should be grateful, if not for my son. I'm sure papi will still scold us both”
