The Love That Reunites
Chapter 43

5 YEARS LATER

Clara has buried memories of Reyhan and objects related to the young man. Until now he was still confused why Reyhan accused him of doing what he did not with Farel.

A month ago he graduated from office administration at the age of 22 years. A few days ago Clara had applied for work to a well-known company in Jakarta. It just so happened that there was a vacancy to be a secretary and he felt himself fit for the job. Today is his first day of work.

At 07:30 Clara arrived at Setya.

"Welcome to Setya Company, Miss Clara. Meet Tomi, HRD manager. I'll take you around the company and introduce you to the board of directors, directors, and managers" Tomi said, who is about thirty years old.

Clara nodded and immediately followed Tomi. Honestly, he was very nervous because he met a lot of new people.

Tomi took her to a room. There has been a gathering of directors, directors, and managers. Their gaze was like intimidating him making him even more nervous.

"Everyone, introduce her Miss Clara. Our new CEO secretary. I hope you guys can work together and help her if there's anything she doesn't understand" Tomi told them.

They started to introduce themselves. Clara tried to remember their faces and names one by one.

After the introduction session, Tomi took her to the CEO's office. The CEO and secretary room is made one room to make it easier for them to communicate and not complicated if there is a need. The CEO himself proposed the idea.

Now they are in that room.

"Here's your table" Tomi said, showing Clara's desk.

Clara looked around the room. There is a barrier in the form of a wall that limits the CEO table and kitchen, next to the kitchen there is a special toilet. Clara's table is facing the kitchen. Beside the CEO's desk was a door that had no idea what it contained and in front of the table was a sofa to accept clients.

"Can you cook?" Tanya Tomi who was taken by Clara.

"Sir Hendra prefers self-cooked food. He will definitely have you cook food for him and that is one of your duties here" Tomi explained.

"Can I use the kitchen, too?" Ask Clara.

"certainly could. Oh yeah, Mr. Hendra's coming in at nine. You can complete this document while waiting for it. You just have to schedule it" said Tomi handed over a stack of documents.

'Oh, my God, so much. Ah, never mind, this is also my job, ' Clara immediately did her job.

Half an hour later, the middle-aged man with a distended stomach and his folded chin entered the room.

Clara immediately stood up and greeted the man. "Good morning, sir"

"In the morning, are you my new secretary?" Asked the middle-aged man who turned out to be Mr. Hendra.

"Yes sir"

Mr. Hendra walked up to his great chair and sat there.

"Do you know my schedule today?" ask Mr. Hendra.

"Sure sir, you have a schedule to meet with clients at restaurant Z at 11.00 noon" Clara replied.

"I want you to meet him. Tell me I can't attend because of some business" said Mr. Hendra made Clara surprised. Wasn't that task too much for her who had just entered work? Especially alone.

"Why are you quiet?! Quickly learn the contract! I hope you get that contract"

Clara nodded and wanted to leave but Hendra called her back.

"Hey stop! Who told you to leave? Quickly make me lunch! I want to eat jengkol stew, orek tempeh, potato balado, chicken crispy and I want it all done within 1 hour!" Mr. Hendra's word made Clara swallow to hear it.

'Why is this grandpa asking so much?' grouse Clara in heart.

Clara immediately carried out Mr. Hendra's orders. After finishing making lunch for his boss, he soon learned of a cooperation contract with a retail company. Setya Company is engaged in construction, property and furniture.

"Sir, I've done as you asked .... Yes, I told him to cook food for me ... Disturbing his concentration? I'm not sure he'll get the contract if I interrupt him ... Well sir, I'll do" Mr. Hendra turned off his phone immediately when Clara emerged from the kitchen and said the food was ready.

Clara could not focus because Mr. Hendra kept calling her to do non-essential work such as ordering her food, making her drink, even asking what time it was. The watch is in his hand.

Clara went to restaurant Z as soon as 10:40 in a taxi. When he arrived, he immediately ran into the restaurant.

"Sorry sir, I'm late" Clara said as she was five minutes late.

"Look it off"

"Sir Hendra cannot come because there is important business. He handed me this contract of cooperation" Clara said, the man just nodded.

"What's your name?" Ask the man.

"Clara, sir"

"My name is Nio, you just call me Nio. I'm too young to be called father"

"Because Mr. Hendra did not come, we eat alone yes" said Nio.

Not long for the food to come. It took them half an hour to finish the meal.

"You must know that my company is the largest retail company in Jakarta. The furniture we sell is also of high quality. Are you sure the furniture items you produce are of high quality?" tanya Nio opened the conversation.

"Of course our goods are of high quality. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself" Clara replied straightforwardly.

"Setya Company is not the only furniture business company in Jakarta. There are still many furniture companies that are no less good. What's the reason I should choose your company?"

Clara was silent for a moment hearing Nio's question.

"It's true there are still many furniture companies out there. But the furniture we produce is always quality and sold in the market. You are also not the only retail company in Jakarta. I could have signed a contract with another company. Didn't you first apply for a cooperation contract with us?" ask Clara who made the now silent Nio.

Prok prok prok

"You're great Clara. I like your style. True what you say, the furniture items you produce are always sold in the market, so I want to work with you. How about we sign it now?"

Clara smiled and agreed. Finally the work is done. He soon returned to the Setya Company.

"Hi bro's. I have a new secretary. I swear, he's cool. Could've he returned my word and made me die a flea. Her attitude was also calm and very elegant, besides that her person was also beautiful. Anyway this new secretary lo is very the best!" Nio called someone.

Clara at the Setya Company. He just opened the door, he did not even enter but was suguhi with various questions.

"How, did it work? You're not making trouble, are you? You didn't mention our company name wrong, did you? You're not nervous when you answer questions, are you?" Ask Mr. Hendra who is already standing at the door.

"Gosh, sir. At least let me sit down. The cooperation was successful and I didn't make the slightest mistake" Clara immediately sat in her seat and passed Hendra sir just like that. He looks disrespectful, but he doesn't care because he's tired.

"Great work!"

'Only that's Mr Hendra's appreciation after what I did?' Inner Clara was upset.

Mr. Hendra came out of the room. He was seen calling someone in a whisper.

"Hello sir, the new secretary is already doing her job. He got that contract. Looks like she's a tenacious and intelligent girl ... I'm not sure he's patient, but he has a good job"

After giving a report, Mr. Hendra went back into his room.

At 5pm Clara was done with her work. He was waiting for a taxi and soon a taxi came to take him to his house.

Clara put herself in bed. He just finished his shower.

The tring!

"Ra, gather yuk! At the usual cafe" take Mita.

Inevitably he had to come because he knew Mita would definitely be angry if she did not come.

At 7 p.m., he arrived at the cafe. It seems that his best friend has gathered.

"The acid is your face, Ra" said Mira to see Clara's face.

Clara did not respond and sat down immediately.

"When you've become the CEO secretary. You should be happy because the CEO's face must be handsome" Mita said.

"Handsome? It looks like a hippo you say handsome. I'm the same boss. So many requests" complained Clara.

"What's your boss ugly?" Ask Rena plain.

"Not bad, Ren. Only his face is not good to see" Sahut Clara.

"Older days, we don't hang out together. You are all busy working together" Chirps Santi.

"We're all grown up, San. Not a high school boy anymore. I'm the miss of High School" Mira said in memory of the past.

"Sma Time Kangen or kangen sama sak Dimas? Hahaha" Tanya Mita sneered.

"It was high school, why did I miss that guy?" Mira said annoyedly.

"Say it's still love. Who told you to break up" Clara said, laughing.

That night Clara spent time with her friends. They discussed the past school days, work as well as romance.
