Since Eggie's departure three months ago, it has been Jenifer who took over as interim secretary until Arsen found someone as painstaking as Eggie to work with Amey. The reason Jen only served temporarily, because he also had the responsibility as Umun Manager at the Paradise hotel.
That morning Jen was reviewing some documents at Amey's office. Again the girl worked overtime from last night until morning. The dark circles under his eyes were so visible. His face looked like an undead from lack of sleep. His body was as lethargic as a person without life.
For three months Jen worked hard to keep up with Eggie's patience. Although Jen's abilities aren't the same as Eggie's, the girl keeps trying her hardest.
“Secretary Eggie is really great. It is fitting that Mr. Arsen trusted him so much to carry out a dangerous mission,” grumbled Jen ruffled her hair.
Jen heard someone's footsteps. He stopped his activity for a moment. “What's Amey here? But this ‘kan is still five in the morning,” frowns. “Or Don't-don't Mr Satpam? Could be cleaning service.” Jenifer continued his activities. Suddenly someone opened the door.
The girl jumped in shock. He saw a tall man wearing a hat and a mask. “Who's there?” jen shouted in panic. Looking at a thick document on the table, with a reflex, Jen threw it right on the man's forehead.
Plakkkkp!
“What are you doing, huh?!” growled the man.
“Who are you?!"
“I could have reported you for physical assault!” woe to that man who is none other than Mark.
“I know this cold voice!” jen Gumam Lirih. “What do-not, Tu—tuan Red Tie?”
Mark opened his hat and mask. How shocked Jen was when she saw Mark's fierce face. He got up from his seat and approached Mark. “Master, I'm sorry. I thought you were a bad guy. I accidentally threw the document,” beg Jen.
Mark just stared at Jen's face sharply, and walked past her towards Amey's room. “Nothing is different. He's still sloppy!” mumbling Mark.
With an astonished face, Jen looked behind Mark's back. His mind wondered what the cold man would do early in the morning in the office in such clothes. He followed Mark to the President Director's room. He found Mark looking for something in the file cabinet. Slowly Jen walked up to Mark from behind.
The man felt a strange chill behind him. When Mark turned his back he jumped in shock, “Goshhhh!” sweeping chest. “You surprised me!” woefully furious.
“What are you looking for, Mister?” ask Jen.
Mark looked at Jen's face fixedly. Her hair is shambles, a plain face without makeup polish. Plus a tissue that covers the right nostril, and food scraps attached to Jenifer's white teeth. Really am! It made Mark almost faint to see Jen's look.
The man reflexively retreated a few steps back, but his body had leaned against the file cabinet. Mark's lips tightly closed. He no longer knew what to say when he saw the scene in front of him. Obviously because Mark is a very clean man, for that he was very shocked to see Jen falling apart.
“What's up, Sir? It's like you're just seeing a ghost. What are you looking for? Who knows I can help you,” bargain Jen.
Mark clenched his hand. His face turned violent. “Away from me! Just look at you,” pointed at Jen's body. “You are so slovenly! Don't tell me you haven't had a shower and toothbrush from yesterday!”
Jen smiled wryly. “Hehe. You're right, sir. Since yesterday I have not cleaned myself up. The end of the task that I have to do is still a lot,” scratches his head.
“Stop! Don't scratch your head!” mark shouted in panic. “Let your fleas bounce off!”
“I don't have a tick. Sir take it easy.”
Mark is still analyzing Jen's body from head to toe. Did this girl not sleep from last night? His eye bags are getting bigger. His pupils also looked tired! It turns out he worked hard too.
“Master?” call Jen.
“When have you been like this?” ask Mark suddenly.
The woman was silent for a moment. He twisted his brain and digested Mark's speech. “I don't understand your question.”
“Since when did you work like this? From your appearance, you look lacking a lot of blood and stamina.”
“Oh you mean you work overtime, yayaya I understand. It may have been three months since Secretary Eggie took time off.”
“Stupid basis! You think by working like this you can become like Secretary Eggie?! You only hurt yourself!” said Mark riding apitam.
“I never thought to be the same as Secretary Eggie. But I always try to be the best, reliable, and of course do all my tasks to the end! Do you care about me, Mister?”
Jenifer's last sentence, capable of paralyzing the muscles in Mark's body. “Omong empty! I don't care what happens to you, because it's your business."
"Then?"
"But if you work like this, it will only trouble Young Madam. What if you get sick? Who will handle the affairs of the office while the condition of the Madam is still not stable. You think finding a replacement for Secretary Eggie is as easy as turning a palm?! And also ..” paused his speech.
“And also?” reset Jenifer.
Looking for a replacement similar to you, willing to work hard and willing to try is very difficult to find! Mark continues in my heart.
Mark breathed heavily. "Yushthh! Forget it!" Continuing his activity looking for something in the file cabinet. But because he felt uncomfortable with the situation, he finally stopped the search. "Hey, you!" call her Jen.
"What's wrong?"
"Clean your face and come with me."
"Where?"
"Just do what I say."
Jen nodded and walked towards her desk. Mark looked behind Jenifer's back. A feeling of pity at once annoyed approached his mind.
"Done!" said Jen.
The two men walked to the elevator. Upon entering the elevator, Jen's vision became blurry. His head felt dizzy and was beating violently. Instantly his body squeezed. His legs were no longer able to support his body.
Mark who saw Jen's body that almost fell to the floor, immediately caught it swiftly. "Your nose is bleeding!" ketus Mark's.
Jen wiped the thick liquid. He looked at Mark and closed his eyes. The shadow of Mark's past momentarily flashed through his mind, and it made him think of Rachel, Eggie's younger sister who had died from an illness.
"Hey! Self-conscious!" patting Jen's cheek. "Jennifer!" shouted Mark, loudly. For the first time, Mark called the girl's name correctly.
Jen heard Mark calling her name. "Don't take me to the hospital. Grandma will be worried." After saying that sentence, Jen was immediately unconscious.
***
The sound of the clock ticking broke the silence within the room. A man with no expression was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Sometimes the man's eyes stared at the bed.
"When will he come to his senses?!" he muttered with an annoyed face.
There was no other way than to give Jen a ride to stay at Mark's apartment. He also could not have taken Jen to the hospital because the woman did not want to make Jenifer's grandmother worry.
But it's also impossible for Mark to directly take Jen home to her boarding house. If he returns Jen, it's the same as handing her over to the Tiger stable. For the time being, Mark was very afraid of Doris due to the barbaric mannerisms of micin's grandmother.
Slowly, Jenifer's eyes began to open. His gaze was so sweet and still blurry. His eyeballs go around you and there.
"This place is no stranger to me?" jen Lirih.
"Finally you're aware too!"
Jen woke up to hear that heavy voice. He jumped out of bed and looked at Mark sitting on the sofa. "Am I at your house?" tanyakanya.
Mark put the book he read on the table. He walked towards Jen and it made the girl sitting on the bed stiff and tense. "Tu-sir?" ogre.
Jen's heart is pumping so fast. Especially when staring at Mark's bead that was so terrible. Mark's eyes were able to freeze Jenifer's body.
"Don't misunderstand me! I brought you here because you didn't want to go to the hospital. The doctor checked your condition earlier. You're fine and you just need enough rest" said Mark.
*Behind his cool and cold attitude, tern*apparently he is also considerate. Inner Jen.
"Don't look at me like that!" hatch Mark.
Jen lowered her head. "How long have I fainted?"
"Almost six hours."
"Huh?" bemused. Damnit damnit! I'm not fainting but sleeping here.
"Clean yourself and go home. Maybe Nensi part two is worried about you" Mark said as he threw clothes on Jen's body.
"It's okay, sir. I'll just go home."
"Basic slob! It's been two days and a night you've been wearing those clothes. Your body is no longer sterile!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you again," walked towards the bathroom.
Mark could only take a long breath and exhale it slowly. "What's wrong with me?!" muttered.
Inside the bathroom Jen appears to be smiling little imagining Mark's attitude towards her. Although the man always hurt Jen with his sharp speech, but the girl was sure if Mark's intentions were good. It's just that the narrative is rough so it gives the impression is not good.
"Hey! You didn't bring your towels and clothes. How did you get out of there!" mark shouted from the outside, breaking Jenifer's mind.
"God! I forget. Sir, can you help me bring it? I can't go out and take it because I've undressed all my clothes!"
Mark surprised. Jen's innocent nature makes her heart suddenly beat unnatural. "Has he always been like this? Or is he cheating on me?! I am a normal man!" scythe Mark.
"Master! I believe in you! If you mind taking him, it's fine. You get out of your room until I'm done changing."
"Ehhh! Did he throw me out?!" Mark gritted his teeth. "Yes! it's better than the previous idea."
