The Love I Don't Miss
Part 87 (Talks in Lobby )

The lobby was again whispered by the voices of employees who were talking about hot news that had just passed. And without them noticing, one of the participants of the topic tranding had reached the ground floor.

A special elevator door opened, making the man and a woman exit in turn. By asking beautiful and graceful women who are none other than Zahra out first, making people do not expect if there is himself in there.

Where from inside he could hear what was being the highest-rated discussion in the office that afternoon.

Although he had to slightly force his ears to be able to hear what was tranding topic out there. In addition, he also has to keep himself mentally. Don't be like your crazy brother because of depression.

"Zahrah! Zahras! Zahras!" call some employees in front of the reception area.

Zahra turned her head and tilted her head slightly as a sign that she was asking 'what is it?'.

"Sir Kenzo just passed by his wife!" replied a black haired woman.

"And say friends, Mr. Kenzo's wife is his ex-wife...."

When another woman came to answer, suddenly her mouth that was open because calling the word 'Pak' stopped, so her lips formed a large O. And wide rounded eyes looked at the back side of Zahra who was still staring waiting for the continuation of the sentence from the women at the reception desk.

So too with the others. Everyone gasped when they saw Zio coming out of the elevator room that had not been closed since.

The smeula face was beautiful - beautiful, now turned deathly pale.

"Sir..Mr. Zio.." stammered the employee with a gasping breath.

And instantly all went pale, if it could be better to just faint. And the lobby room that was originally noisy, suddenly deserted back.

Zio who knew he was talking about could only glance at him, and pretend to be indifferent. He walked coldly towards the exit of the Lobby. He must maintain his sanity.

Zio leaves people who duck or steal glances at him, also leaving Zahra who is still frozen in front of the elevator.

Zahra who was no longer greeted since Zio came out of the elevator was not feeling good. What happened was as if he joined in a conversation that was talking about him.

Zahra was just staring at the grimy back that started to drift away and get further and further away in front of there.

Guilt re-engaged in the chest of the one-child widow. Especially about the problem last afternoon he could not give an answer. And now .... Yep! That's so....

Zahra approached her misbehaved friends with pale faces at the reception desk. Maybe they feel guilty about being caught talking about the personal life of a General Manager.

Some of them smiled forcibly, some scratched their heads without itching. Some also bite their fingers because they think they will get a big problem after this.

"Why don't you give me the code anyway, if there's Mr Zio behind you?" ask one of his friends after Zio is completely invisible to the eye.

"You guys are weird, you know I got out of a special elevator, you should be thinking, who am I going down with?"

Zahra answered in accordance with the fact that they themselves are not careful when talking about someone. Moreover, Zio was among the people who had a position in the company.

"Yes, siiih." answered some of them.

"What are you guys really worrying about?"

"There really isn't. It has no effect on us either. It's just like something weird... Former GM wife, married to CEO?' muttered one of them, with a shriveling wajh.

"Yes, Ra! we all know what complicated Mr. Zio, Naura and Ms. Calina were at the time. But with reality like this, so you can be sure, if Miss Calina is a lucky woman. Dead 50 million, growing 1 Milyaaarrr!" said the receptionist who recognized Calina, while making a very superior hand gesture when mentioning the nominal 1 Billion.

Yes, the point is to show the position!

Zahra was still silent to listen to whatever her friends were talking about in the lobby. The goal is one, want to know what their friends think about the company officials, in addition to limited chat in Group Chat.

"Or is Bu Calina on purpose, wanting to repay Mr Zio by getting his boss's love?" others have assumed.

"Eh! don't accuse me!" the receptionist recognized Calina.

"But it could be, right?"

"If that's even more likely, how did Ms. Calina know Mr. Kenzo? mr. Kenzo had just come from Australia, "asked the receptionist who recognized Calina. "We who meet every day are never in the lyrics!" his gerrick. "By the way! Bu Brenda's Production Manager was never in the lyrics. Bu Brenda is so beautiful. And clearly it's been chasing after Mr. Kenzo's love.

"Or actually... Mr Kenzo and Ms Calina have been in a relationship for a long time?" employees working upstairs. "So when Miss Calina was widowed Mr. Kenzo immediately married her?'

"Well!" screech everyone inside the reception desk circle.

"Yes.who knows!" the answer. "Especially you know Miss Clarice is quite similar to Mr. Kenzo!"

Until here Zahra began to massage his dizzy forehead due to the gossip of friends.

"But Miss Clarice called Mr. Zio Papa, you know!"

"Yaaa. I'm just guessing - guessing!" the answer. "Because Mr. Kenzo has brought Miss Clarice to this office, since Miss Clarice was 1 year old!"

"You can't? just talk according to the facts?" sahut Zahra who began to feel angry with the babble of his friends. However he is one - one person outside the Kenzo circle who already knows everything. He did not want the names of the big people in the company to be destroyed by inappropriate statements. A mere wreath alias.

"Please laah..do not make your own opinions and conclusions - we do not know what the actual events at that time like!" clearly Zahra's a little sniffy. "It could be that they've had a very complicated day before it was revealed in public."

"What's wrong with you, Ra?" ask the employees who work upstairs. "You don't seem to accept what we're talking about.."

"Yes, you're right! I really don't accept. I'm not forbidding you from talking about them. Just don't make an opinion that can get you fired from this company!" answer Zahra in a short but direct way to the point.

Suddenly all look away from Zahra's face with a wrong attitude. Back to realizing that what Zahra reminded him of had a point. What they're talking about isn't just anyone in that company.

Although Zahra lost senior with employees - employees who know Calina, but he also included long-time employees at the Adhitama Group. It has been almost 6 years since he started his career at the company. So he has the right to be an advisor when there are old and new friends make mistakes.

"Emmm. I'm sorry, Ra. don't tell Mr. Zio."

"What right do I have to say to Mr Zio or Mr Kenzo?"

"We see.you and Mr. Zio are very close. The proof is that you just got off in a special elevator. I've never been offered a ride in a special elevator."

"Oh, my God! so all this time you've been talking about me and Mr Zio behind my back?" zahra asked starting to stare in disbelief with the gossip troops he had known for a long time.

Suddenly all were again made wrong with the response given by Zahra. Again - again everything is discovered if often gossiping friends themselves when not being with them.

"You don't have to assume for yourself. You can ask me directly, why Mr. Zio often takes me on special elevators!"

"Why does Mr Zio often take the elevator together?"

"Because almost every day we have to go to Mr. Kenzo's room at the same time, to synchronize the report so that there is no miscommunication" Zahra replied with gasps. "Even if me and Mr. Zio look close, it's natural, because our work is interconnected with each other."

"Emmm. instead of how this is, Ra.. Naura used to be like that. Eh it turns out they're married quietly." Just shut up."

"So you mean, me and Mr. Zio are married quietly?"

Zahra was running out of patience. Want to feel stuffy mouth - the mouth of the gossip.

"You don't have to worry, if until I and Mr. Zio get married, I won't be silent. I'll be resighn from this company. And I'll invite you all!" answer Zahra ketus. Indirectly satiate their feelings.

"That's right, you and Mr. Zio what's up?"

Zahra took a deep, deep breath. Then he exhales slowly to break down the emotions in the chest that he almost vomited.

"We never know what's going to happen up front. For now we are close as co-workers. There is nothing else." replied Zahra more gently than before.

Everyone nodded at Zahra's explanation.

"I'm sorry, Ra. We often talk about you and Mr. Zio without you knowing.."

"Hem. I was expecting it anyway." replied Zahra nodding softly. "Yes, we better go home. Just wait until they - they declare what really happened. We don't have to assume it ourselves." explains Zahra. "From later on you will be sanctioned by Mr. Kenzo! You guys still need this job, right?"

"Yes, Ra. of course!" answer all at the same time.

Zahra passed by taking a deep breath. Everything happened outside of Zio's expectations. That said who dares to gossip the boss's wife. In fact all the ingredients dare to make a statement that is far from its original state.

It was fortunate that they could all still be awakened, Inner Zahra.
