The Hot Boss
The Plan Starts to Run

"From now on you must practice my crush," the words Riland spoke continued to ring in Melisa's ears. His mind continued to drift on that boss he liked.

Leah was amazed to see Melisa who was cleaning up the pile of clothes with an empty look. "you why, Mel ? Persambet ?" Leah asked with a laugh.

Melisa who got the question immediately turned her head with a lethargic face. "yes, the beautiful and sexy and cipokable handsome devil (very tempting to kiss)," melisa replied without being able to control her speech.

"Huh ? Who ? Don't have a crush on the others. From now on you have to learn to have a crush on Riland so that his acting looks natural.  You're the one who had that idea, '" protested Leah.

Melisa fell silent, speechless. He wants to yell at Leah that the man he likes is Riland the boss.

But again Melisa tried as much as possible to cover it. He did not want his feelings to ruin the job he had just got.

"i'm out for a minute, meet a friend. Mel, make the ad later when I go home can't you ?" Riland asked who suddenly came from behind. He opened his black mask when he said that.

"Cowok wore black clothes without any medicine," instead of answering the boss's question, Melisa was more preoccupied with her own thoughts that were so fascinated by Riland's current appearance.

Long-handed black t-shirts rolled up to the sleeves, old gray jeans ripped pants and mocca-colored ankle boots perfected the man's good looks in Melisa's eyes. He almost drooled because he was so fascinated.

...

...

Riland walked closer, while the one asked just looked at him with blushing cheeks and my eyes full of cravings made the man confused.

"Mel, I asked. It will be okay in the afternoon, right ? Consider it overtime if you come home more than working hours," he asked again.

Seeing Melisa who is still in the clouds like a drunk, Leah also shook the arms of the friend so that he realized and it turned out that way to produce results because Melisa immediately responded. "What is Leah ?" Ask her without feeling guilty.

"What are you drunk about ? See Riland's rich that's so ?" Leah asked in astonishment as well as Riland who was now standing right in front of her. Staring at Melisa full of question marks.

Not Melisa if you can't get rich in steel, "Well how my acting is good, right ? That's me pretending to be fascinated with you, Riland," he replied as he lowered his eyebrows.

Riland's stiffened face gradually disappeared with the smile on his face. "Kirain me why," he said slowly. "Compared to being fascinated, you look more like a possessed person," he continued with a laugh.

Leah's laughter broke instantly, while Melisa's piqued her lips.

"Udah ah, I go first" said Riland while returning to his black mask. So did Leah who left Melisa to go to the back and check the physical stock of clothes.

Melisa was shedding her own body on the floor. His legs were weak and again he cursed himself for the foolish deeds he did. How can he show his admiration for the boss who is not also sensitive.

And where would Riland go in the afternoon like this ? Lunch ? With who ? Those questions popped into Melisa's mind and left her tormented.

"Yes God... If Riland is for me, wake him up to get close to me. If not, reassure her heart only to me" said Melisa slowly. "I'm sorry, I insisted" he continued, closing his eyes with both palms looking up, hoping that his prayer would be granted.

"Acute falling in love turned out to be troublesome," still Melisa complained bitterly with her face bent. He stood back up and stood guard behind the cashier's desk while Leah was doing her job back there.

At 5pm Riland came back to his shop. He's been gone a long time since lunch with his friend. The man had even changed his clothes. Looks like he went back to his apartment before returning to his shop.

The state of the store was so quiet when he came, Riland also circulated his gaze looking for two employees, Leah and Melisa. "Mel, Leah ?" Call him in a slightly raised voice.

He kept walking into the shop and suddenly his steps came to a halt when he saw Melisa leaning over her body on the glass table with her irregular long hair.

"Hey, what's wrong with you ?" Riland looked panicked. He approached her immediately.

Melisa raised her lethargic face and looked at Riland sayu. "What do you sleep with ?" Ask Riland.

Hearing that Riland laughed softly. "sorry," he said without explaining where he went with whom.

"Aarrrggggghhhh," cried Melisa in her heart. He was not satisfied with the answer given by his boss. He wanted to know where Riland had gone all afternoon to evening but asking directly was impossible because it was very impolite to interfere in the personal life of his boss.

"I told you, we'll make the ad later in the afternoon and assume you're working late today" said Riland as he pinched the pinch of Melisa's nose. "That's why if I say that, with horror !" Further again.

Melisa's heart almost jumped out when Riland did that. "Issh what the hell ?" Tanya melisa with her body that was trembling due to Riland's treatment just now.

"Acting" replied Riland briefly.

"Acting what ?" Ask Melissa again. His breathing was dull when he asked that because his heartbeat could not be compromised to calm down.

"Yes, I forgot ! You should have seduced me for having a crush, right ? So I have to be ordinary ?" Riland asked and Melisa nodded slowly.

"Aahhh sorry," said Riland felt guilty.

"Have you come ? Let's start !" Leah also came between them with a ring light that would be used to make advertisements.

"Okay, let's go !" Riland seemed excited to respond to him.

"You change your clothes first, I'm ready at the back" Leah said, and the two obeyed.

***

It has been running for an hour but it turns out to make advertising is not that easy because both are not professional actors. Riland looks so stiff playing him.

"Rest first, then we continue," asked Melisa.

"Or don't continue" said Riland. "We are not talented" he continued.

"You are not talented ! Look Melisa, she's so natural doing her part" Leah said as she played back the video she made.

Melisa smiled awkwardly because of it, of course natural because her feelings were really real on her boss.

"Tomorrow, I have another appointment tonight" Riland stood up from where he was sitting and walked to his desk to retrieve his car keys.

Melisa stared at her disappearance in silence, wanting her to know where the man was going but she had no right to it. All Melisa could do was let out her heavy breath.

Riland woke up because of the sound of message notifications from social media that sounded many times. He saw the clock still showing at 7 am.

Silent for a moment, Riland did not immediately reach for his phone. Expel the drowsiness that still exists by stretching his body. "Aarrgghhh," he groaned strongly.

After his dizziness was reduced, he grabbed his phone and was surprised to get a lot of new followers on his social media account. Not only that, Riland also got a lot of personal messages which of course the sender is women.

"Hi, the hot boss," the message read almost the same.

Riland scrolled the screen, and he found the latest update of his store on the sosmed page revealing the incident yesterday afternoon where Melisa fell asleep on the table. It turns out that during the incident, Melisa recorded it.

Quite a lot of comments on the post, it looks like Melisa's plan is starting to run. He also posted the hashtag #thehotboss
