The Hot Boss
Not Who

"Rich... The handsome one is really loh and soon be the same Melisa,"

Hearing Leah's answer, Riland spontaneously spouted coffee water that was being drunk.

"Pffftttttttt," Riland bursts and it makes Leah move back spontaneously with a surprised face that she cannot hide. Not only that, the coffee that was in Riland's grasp also spilled. "Why are you ?" Ask Leah.

"Sorry. sorry, the coffee is hot" replied Riland and of course he lied. In a panic he took some tissue from his box which was stored on the table.

Riland cleaned the table and everything that was exposed to the coffee water including the shirt he was wearing. "shiiittt," Riland's maki sounded annoyed that her white shirt was now adorned with quite a lot of brownish coffee stains.

"Isn't that iced coffee ? How hot is it?" Leah clenched her two eyebrows in astonishment. At once, what Riland had been drinking was a glass of iced coffee that his boss used to buy from a cafe sebrang street.

"huh ? aahh yes. iced coffee !  my teeth were sore because of the ice," replied Riland again as he continued to clean the splash of coffee water on his shirt.

"So you said the coffee was hot, Riland."

Riland raised his face and looked at Leah who was watching him. "you have misheard him" said Riland. I don't know why he was so nervous like this.

Leah thought for a moment, she was sure she had not heard wrong because Riland said it clearly. Not wanting to argue about something that is not important, Leah finally no longer commented. "Maybe I heard wrong,"

"I change clothes first" said Riland while returning to the room where there is a ladder that will take him to the 2nd floor.

Along the way Riland kept thinking, wondering in his heart who the man named Raya was. This was the first time Riland had heard the name of the man but why Leah said as if she had known him for so long. Is she someone special to Melisa ?

"Aahhh, shiitt why am I so mindless? Melisa wanting to be friends with anyone is none of my business !" Riland said to himself.  He monologues while climbing the stairs.

He immediately replaced his dirty white shirt with a plain black shirt. He sat his body on the chair and tried to continue his work but how hard he concentrated the name Kingdom kept appearing in his head.

"Why did I think of him?" Riland is a monologue. "Well, I thought because she was my employee and while at work, Melisa was my responsibility. Sooo I have to know who Raya is because that's part of my responsibility as a superior," Riland seeks justification for his own thoughts.

Riland immersed himself in his work again, looking at tables containing many numbers on his MacBook screen. His eyes looked there but his mind drifted somewhere. "Why is this gini blank head ?" Complaints Riland. "his power needs coffee again to be fresh," Riland still talk to himself. Fortunately, Riland was alone. If anyone had seen it, he could have been suspected of being insane.

Riland walked towards the small pantry at the back. Take a glass and pour instant coffee into it, then brew it with hot water from the dispenser machine. After stirring it for a while, he returned to his desk.

Already a few sips of coffee water that Riland drank, but he still could not concentrate to work. There was something stuck in his mind right now.

Again he looked at the MacBook screen with an empty mind, it turned out that the coffee water had no effect on him. While clucking annoyed Riland came out of his desk and walked back to the 1st floor to ask Leah further. Not because Riland put a sense or jealousy but because he was a boss who was responsible to his subordinates. That's what Riland put in his head.

Lea was still busy at the cashier table because there was someone who was making a purchase transaction. Riland chose to sit while paying attention and looking for the right words to ask the employee.

"Eh by the way, who is the Kingdom?" Riland asked as Leah had just finished her work.

Leah turned her head and found that the boss had changed and was sitting behind her. "Raya's dating Melisa now?" Leah asked again as she sat on the chair right in front of Riland.

"Yes, it's the man who went with Melisa right now," replied Riland slightly indifferently. He did not want Leah to know that his soul was struggling.

"The royal said he was a friend of Melisa High School and it turns out he was working in one of the buildings located near our store. Yesterday he came to this store and bought a lot of clothes, but I'm sure he actually meant to come just to see Melisa because he said he had been watching Melisa these past few weeks," answer Leah.

"Oh High School friend ?" Riland Sahut.

"hu'um," Leah replied super short and Riland was not satisfied with the girl's answer of course.

"Cowoknya ?" Ask Riland again.

"No, but apparently this Kingdom likes Melisa. I'm sure in the future the child will be a lot of dates at lunch time because the guy does not work in the area here too." um why?" Leah took a look at Riland's face when she said that.

"No pa-pa, it's just a question" replied Riland who actually wanted to ask more but he knew that Leah was getting suspicious.

Leah stood up to hear the door of the store being opened she thought a customer was going to shop while asking Riland "Why are you jealous? Jealous huh Melisa dating another guy ?" Asked Leah while giggling amusedly.

"No, crazy ! There's no way I'm jealous of Melisa She's nothing to me" replied Riland a little uncomfortable with the question Leah asked her out. "Looks it's my subordinate so I should know nothing about him because during his time working here he will be my responsibility," Riland reasoned. He didn't want Leah to think about him.

"we are superiors and subordinates, I'm nothing to you," suddenly Melisa was present between the two turned out to be the one who opened the door of the store was herself not a customer like Leah thought. Melisa's girl's face was so flat as she said that.

Leah was surprised to hear that, she felt bad for talking about her friend, while Riland was even more surprised. He could feel the heat on his face.
