The Hot Boss
Are We Cool ?

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.

Riland got up and walked over, now he and Melisa were standing opposite each other and only blocked by a window table. Guilt is in the heart of Riland at this time "Sorry" he said slowly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"What the hell is it ?" Cut Melisa fast. "You're not wrong, what you say is true. You will always be my boss, and I am only your employee," continued Melisa trying to bend a smile on her thin lips, even though she desperately held back tears because of her incredible heartbreak.

"Ta-tadi Riland just who did you go with, and I replied that you went with a cute guy named Raya. And Riland asked again about this Kingdom, I asked Riland if he was jealous of you," explained Leah who also showed her guilt.

"Ooh... Strange part of it ! Riland is so rich. He might not be jealous ! I'm not the type and level of him" Melisa said while chuckling amused when she felt a pain in her heart.

Riland fell silent, his junkyard was seen moving as he swallowed his saliva forcefully. What Melisa said just now seemed familiar to her ears.

"That's not what it means, Mel.... It's true I ask Leah where you go and with whom, because during working hours you are my responsibility," this time Riland explained but he did not say everything. How he felt uncomfortable about Melisa's departure with the man named Raya.

Riland also did not tell how he could not concentrate on work just because of the departure of Melisa. He did not say everything because he still held on to the reason that the strange feeling he felt was only limited to his responsibility as a superior.

"Ooohhh... Sorry, not permission before leaving," said Melisa while nodding her head as if understanding. "Next, if I go again, it must be permission first," continued Melisa later.

"You want to go again with him ?" Riland asked with a frown.

Melisa was silent for a moment before answering the question that Riland asked her. He looked back at his boss and with a sigh he said "hu'um, it looks like I'm going to go again with Raya, but I try not in working hours so you won't feel burdened," the answer.

"Oh. okay, good then" said Riland. But the words that came out of his lips were not in line with what his heart was feeling. In his mouth, he said okay but in his heart he refused.

Even so, there's no way Riland would tell Melisa the truth, right ? Remember.he is only a superior, there is no right for him to interfere in the personal life of Melisa who is only a employee.

"So... Are we cool ?" Riland asked with the smile he forced.

"of course we're cool ! We'll always be fine, Boss !" Melisa's friend and she reached out her hand to shake hands with a big smile. His heart ached because Riland broke it.

Riland who saw that let out a faint laugh and welcomed Melisa's helping hand and shook it tightly.

Both Melisa and Riland said that they were fine but why did their hearts say 'no' and right now both of them were very reluctant to let go of their handshakes.

"Mel, your paper bag is left in my car," said Raya who suddenly appeared with a paper bag that was carried until Melisa and Riland released their hands with surprise.

Raya fell silent and looked at the two people before her who both looked surprised by her arrival. "Sorry... Am I bothering you about something ?" Tanya Raya who now feels bad.

"No, you're not bothering me at all" Melisa replied. "Raya, know this is my boss, Riland" said Melisa introduced her boss.

Raya put Melisa's paper bag on the window table before she invited Riland to shake hands. "Raya," he said politely and smiled as he extended his hand.

Riland welcomed the helping hand even though he was reluctant and astonished at himself reacting like that.

"The hot boss, right ?" Raya gave a smile as she said that and Riland did the same.

"And this is Leah, you remember her, don't you?" Melisa said while pointing at Leah who had been standing with her face still showed anxiety and unease.

"Of course I remember, we met here yesterday, didn't we ? And it seems like we will meet more often because I will often take Melisa to lunch" replied Raya. He immediately looked towards Melisa, as well as Riland who was now staring at Melisa who became clumsy because 2 men were watching her.

"Well, if I'm not busy" said Melisa.

"Sure, as long as it does not interfere with your work," said Raya. While Riland pursed his lips tightly with a face that turned cold.

"It's nice to meet you, but unfortunately I have to go back to the office immediately" Raya said goodbye.

Riland responded with a smile and noticed the extremely dapper appearance of Raya in an expensive suit and looking very presentable. Riland was convinced that the man named Raya must have an important position in his company.

Raya walks towards the exit and Melisa follows her from behind. "Tomorrow I'll pick you up at what time ?" Tanya Raya before she actually left the store.

"mmm... I'll tell you later, afraid of a lot of work. I can't promise" Melisa replied.

Actually earlier Melisa lied to Riland that in the future she and Raya will often go together but why now everything becomes reality.

"Ok, tell me tomorrow, yes" Raya walked to her parked car and left the shop where Melisa was working.

Melisa stood in the doorway as if to let go of Raya, when in fact she was reluctant to step her foot back into the store and meet Riland again.

"Mel, what's at the door ? Let's get ready to make another advertisement" said Leah by raising the volume of her voice.

Melisa took a deep breath before she turned her body "all will be fine" she said inwardly, cheering herself on. Melisa forced herself to move her legs back towards Leah and Riland was.

"Okay let's make an ad, for the sake of cuan !!" Melisa smiled brightly cheerfully as she said that, trying to cover up her heartbreak.

"Okay, this time the concept of an overnight date," greeted Leah enthusiastically.

"Later you guys pretend to date with a matching outfit. Because the concept is dating, there is a scene of handrails while looking at it," Leah explained excitedly.

While Melisa and Riland immediately exchanged glances without words.

Leah noticed the two, both Riland and Melisa were both silent. "Are we cool ?" (Are we okay ? ) Ask Leah timidly.
